*THE TRUTH ABOUT DIABETIC NEUROPATHY AND HOW THREATEN YOUR OVERALL HEALTH.*
👇🏾
*Diabetic neuropathy is a serious and common complication of diabetes, primarily affecting the nerves.*
The high blood sugar levels associated with diabetes can damage the delicate nerve fibers, leading to diabetic neuropathy. This condition can cause a range of symptoms, which may include:

⛔Numbness or reduced ability to feel pain or temperature changes
Tingling or burning sensation.
⛔Sharp pains or cramps.
⛔Increased sensitivity to touch — for some people, even the weight of a bedsheet can be agonizing
⛔Muscle weakness
⛔Loss of reflexes, especially in the ankle
⛔Loss of balance and coordination
⛔ Erectile dysfunctional

*The effects of diabetic neuropathy can be widespread, impacting various parts of the body.*
Some of the potential effects include:

➖Peripheral Neuropathy: This typically starts in the feet and legs and later affects the hands and arms, leading to difficulties in walking and performing daily activities.
➖Autonomic Neuropathy: This can affect processes like digestion, bowel and bladder function, sexual response (erectile dysfunctional to men), and perspiration.
➖It can also affect the nerves that serve the heart and control blood pressure, leading to cardiovascular issues so people with heart problem should not ignore this.
➖Proximal Neuropathy: This can cause pain in the thighs, hips, or buttocks and lead to weakness in the legs.
➖Focal Neuropathy: This can lead to the sudden weakness of one nerve or a group of nerves, causing muscle weakness or pain.
➖ Diabetic neuropathy can also leads to limbs Amputation.
*Managing blood sugar levels effectively is crucial in preventing or delaying the onset of diabetic neuropathy and mitigating its effects. It’s important for individuals with diabetes to work closely with their healthcare providers to monitor their condition and maintain their health.*

*ENLARGEMENT OF PROSTATE GLAND*

Prostate enlargement, also known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), is a common condition in older men mostly older than 50 years though it can also happen below that age.
It involves the non-cancerous growth of the prostate gland, which can lead to urinary problems.

*Here is an overview of BPH, including its causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment options:*

* # # Causes*
The exact cause of BPH is not entirely understood, but several factors are known to contribute to the condition:

1. **Aging**:
- BPH is more common as men age, particularly after age 50.

2. **Hormonal Changes**:
- Hormonal changes related to aging, such as alterations in testosterone and dihydrotestosterone (DHT) levels, may stimulate prostate growth.

3. **Family History**:
- A family history of BPH may increase the risk of developing the condition.

* # # # Symptoms*
The symptoms of BPH result from the enlarged prostate pressing against the urethra and affecting bladder function. Common symptoms include:

- Frequent urination, especially at night (nocturia)
- Difficulty starting urination (hesitancy)
- Weak or interrupted urine stream-weak urine flow.
- Dribbling at the end of urination
- Inability to completely empty the bladder.
- Urgency to urinate especially at night.
- Straining to urinate
- Erectile dysfunctional-most men with prostate enlargement will suffer from pre-mature ej*******on or poor er****on.

* # # # Diagnosis*
Diagnosis of BPH involves several steps:

1. **Medical History and Physical Exam**:
- A thorough medical history and physical examination, including a digital re**al exam (DRE) to assess the size and condition of the prostate.

2. **Urine Tests**:
- Urinalysis to rule out infections or other conditions.

3. **Blood Tests**:
- Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test to measure PSA levels in the blood, which can help rule out prostate cancer.

*If you are experiencing Scratchiness in your throat possibly you are suffering from sore throat.*
👇🏾
A sore throat is a common symptom characterized by pain, scratchiness, or irritation of the throat that often worsens when swallowing. It can be caused by various factors, including infections, environmental factors, and other conditions.

* # # # Common Causes of a Sore Throat*
👇🏾

1. **Viral Infections**:
- **Common Cold**: Often accompanied by other symptoms like a runny nose, cough, and fever.
- **Influenza (Flu)**: Typically presents with high fever, body aches, and fatigue.
- **Mononucleosis**: Caused by the Epstein-Barr virus, leading to severe sore throat, swollen lymph nodes, and fatigue.

2. **Bacterial Infections**:
- **Streptococcal Pharyngitis (Strep Throat)**: Caused by Streptococcus bacteria, characterized by severe throat pain, fever, swollen lymph nodes, and white patches on the tonsils.
- **Tonsillitis**: Inflammation of the tonsils, which can be caused by bacteria or viruses.

3. **Allergies**: Allergens such as pollen, dust, and pet dander can cause throat irritation.

TURMERIC REMOVES FLUORIDE FROM THE BRAIN - CURCUMIN found in turmeric, appears to raise endogenous glutathione production in the brain, a major antioxidants defense system. The study investigated the mechanisms through which fluoride induces severe neurodegenerative changes in the mammaliah brain, particularly in cells of the hippocampus and cerebral cortex.
TURMERIC: This brilliantly-coloured spice is flavourful, but also has great body protection qualities. In addition turmeric can be both consumed and applied externally which makes it a great all-round bacteria fighter. For extra protection, you can mix turmeric with honey and create a paste to apply to skin.

*ARE YOU BATTLING WITH DIFFICULT BREATHING?*

https://wa.me/message/FI5XC5P4JPTAK1

➖Shortness of breath, also known as dyspnea, is the sensation of being unable to get enough air or experiencing difficulty in breathing. It can be acute (sudden and severe) or chronic (long-term). Many potential causes can affect the respiratory, cardiovascular, and other systems.

* # # # Respiratory Causes*
1. **Asthma**
- Inflammation and narrowing of the airways causing wheezing and breathlessness.
2. **Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)**
- Includes chronic bronchitis and emphysema, often related to smoking, leading to obstructed airflow.
3. **Pneumonia**
- Infection of the lungs causing inflammation and fluid accumulation in the air sacs.
4. **Pulmonary Embolism**
- A blood clot in the lung arteries blocking blood flow.
5. **Interstitial Lung Disease**
- A group of diseases causing lung tissue scarring and stiffening.
6. **Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS)**
- Severe lung injury causing rapid-onset respiratory failure.
7. **Pneumothorax**
- Collapsed lung due to air leakage into the space between the lung and chest wall.

* # # # Cardiovascular Causes*
1. **Heart Failure**
- The heart's inability to pump blood efficiently, leading to fluid buildup in the lungs.
2. **Coronary Artery Disease**
- Reduced blood flow to the heart muscle causing chest pain and shortness of breath.
3. **Arrhythmias**
- Irregular heartbeats affecting the heart's pumping efficiency.
4. **Pericarditis**
- Inflammation of the sac surrounding the heart.
5. **Cardiomyopathy**
- Disease of the heart muscle impairing its ability to pump blood.

* # # # Other Causes*
1. **Anemia**
- Reduced oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood, leading to oxygen deficiency in tissues.
2. **Obesity**
- Excess weight can restrict lung expansion and efficiency....

Ten population studies showed that those reporting higher consumption of garlic had half the risk of stomach cancer. Those who ate more garlic appeared to have lower cancer rates than those who ate less, suggesting a protective effect.

Individuals who eat more than a clove of garlic a day seem to have better artery function than those eating less than one daily clove. A randomized study on heart disease patients found that those randomized to take garlic powder twice a day for three months had a significant boost in their artery function. They achieved a 50 percent increase in function taking only 800 mg of garlic powder a day—just a daily quarter-teaspoon.

Might garlic powder be able to slow the progression of atherosclerosis? Study participants took either garlic powder tablets versus placebo for three months. The disease’s progression appeared to slow and even stall in the garlic group. Of course, it would be nice to see an actual reversal in the thickening of the artery wall, but for that, one might have to add more plants than just garlic to their diet. Though, a daily quarter-teaspoon of garlic powder may be considered as an adjunct treatment for atherosclerosis.

When dozens of studies on garlic were compiled, researchers saw that garlic can also reduce cholesterol levels in the blood by more than 16 points.

What about garlic for high blood pressure? A systematic review and meta-a**lysis of randomized controlled trials demonstrated that garlic has “a statistically signiﬁcant and clinically meaningful effect” on both systolic and diastolic blood pressure, reducing the top number by nearly seven and the bottom number by about five. That may not sound like a lot, but reducing diastolic blood pressure (the bottom number) by five points can reduce the risk of stroke by about a third and heart disease risk by 25 percent.
