<p> 10:00am Thursday 2nd February 2012 in News &#098;&#121; Jennifer Bell , jennifer.bell@thepress.&#099;&#111;.uk </p>
<p> THE grieving brother &#111;&#102; a York man said he &#119;&#097;&#115; “shocked” and “angry” after the 999 operator who failed to send him &#097;&#110; ambulance avoided &#098;&#101;&#105;&#110;&#103; struck &#111;&#102;&#102;.</p>
<p> Retired hotel manager John Barker, &#111;&#102; Acomb, rang 999 in severe pain, but Yorkshire Ambulance Service nurse Alan Thomas Haugh overrode a computer system &#119;&#104;&#105;&#099;&#104; would &#104;&#097;&#118;&#101; triggered &#097;&#110; immediate response &#098;&#121; paramedics.</p>
<p> &#105;&#110;&#115;&#116;&#101;&#097;&#100;, Mr Haugh, a father &#111;&#102; &#116;&#104;&#114;&#101;&#101;, told the 65-year-old &#116;&#104;&#097;&#116; his condition did not appear life-threatening, and classed him &#097;&#115; a Category C patient &#114;&#097;&#116;&#104;&#101;&#114; &#116;&#104;&#097;&#110; Category A.</p>
<p> But Mr Barker &#119;&#097;&#115; found dead the next day &#102;&#114;&#111;&#109; severe pancreatitis.</p>
<p> A Nursing and Midwifery Council tribunal &#116;&#104;&#105;&#115; week heard &#105;&#116; &#119;&#097;&#115; the latest in a series &#111;&#102; blunders.</p>
<p> The hearing yesterday issued a five-year caution but did not strike &#111;&#102;&#102; Mr Haugh, meaning he can continue practising &#097;&#115; a nurse.</p>
<p> Mr Barker’s brother, Richard, called the &#100;&#101;&#099;&#105;&#115;&#105;&#111;&#110; “lenient”. He said: “My initial feeling &#105;&#115; one &#111;&#102; &#097;&#110;&#103;&#101;&#114;.</p>
<p> “I &#097;&#109; shocked &#116;&#104;&#097;&#116; the picture has &#098;&#101;&#101;&#110; painted &#111;&#102; a man who has learned &#102;&#114;&#111;&#109; his mistakes and posed no continuing risk to patients and the public.</p>
<p> “It &#119;&#097;&#115; &#118;&#101;&#114;&#121; clear &#116;&#104;&#097;&#116; he &#119;&#097;&#115; not fit to practise and he admitted &#116;&#104;&#097;&#116;. I &#097;&#109; not sure the &#100;&#101;&#099;&#105;&#115;&#105;&#111;&#110; &#105;&#115; adequate, and &#105;&#116; has &#098;&#101;&#101;&#110; harrowing to hear &#116;&#104;&#097;&#116; &#116;&#104;&#101;&#114;&#101; &#119;&#097;&#115; a sequence &#111;&#102; cases and &#116;&#104;&#101;&#114;&#101; &#119;&#097;&#115; no intervention sooner in &#103;&#101;&#116;&#116;&#105;&#110;&#103; him out &#111;&#102; the control room.”</p>
<p> Had Mr Barker &#098;&#101;&#101;&#110; classed &#097;&#115; a Category A patient, &#097;&#110; ambulance would &#104;&#097;&#118;&#101; &#098;&#101;&#101;&#110; dispatched.</p>
<p> Mr Barker had outlined his history &#111;&#102; heart pain, but Mr Haugh phoned him back and told him to &#115;&#101;&#101; his doctor and take painkillers.</p>
<p> &#105;&#116; &#119;&#097;&#115; one &#111;&#102; four errors &#098;&#101;&#116;&#119;&#101;&#101;&#110; 2005 and 2007 &#098;&#121; Mr Haugh, who &#105;&#115; in his early 40s and &#102;&#114;&#111;&#109; York, and who now works at Moorlands Care Home in Strensall.</p>
<p> All four &#115;&#097;&#119; him overlooking crucial critical symptoms and choosing not to send &#097;&#110; ambulance &#119;&#104;&#101;&#110; patients called.</p>
<p> At the tribunal, Mr Haugh, who previously worked &#102;&#111;&#114; &#102;&#117;&#108;&#108; Sutton Prison and York Hospital, apologised &#102;&#111;&#114; letting &#100;&#111;&#119;&#110; the patients’ families. He said the role &#119;&#097;&#115; not suited to his skills.</p>
<p> He had previously &#098;&#101;&#101;&#110; disciplined after ignoring computer system prompts and failing to send ambulances to a caller who he assumed &#119;&#097;&#115; hungover &#119;&#104;&#101;&#110; he had actually suffered a skull fracture, to a young girl who burst a Persil liquid capsule over &#104;&#101;&#114; face and to a woman &#119;&#105;&#116;&#104; abdominal problems who he &#100;&#101;&#099;&#105;&#100;&#101;&#100; had back trouble. Mr Haugh &#097;&#108;&#115;&#111; admitted speaking to a member &#111;&#102; Mr Barker’s family in &#097;&#110; unprofessional manner &#119;&#104;&#101;&#110; his actions were challenged.</p>
<p> He said he &#119;&#097;&#115; &#098;&#101;&#116;&#116;&#101;&#114; suited to “one-to-one” nursing, and said; “I feel I can &#098;&#101; a &#103;&#111;&#111;&#100; nurse &#097;&#103;&#097;&#105;&#110;.”</p>
<p> Moorlands manager Helen Lewis told the tribunal Mr Haugh &#119;&#097;&#115; “confident and experienced”, &#108;&#105;&#107;&#101;&#100; and respected &#098;&#121; staff, and would &#098;&#101; missed if he &#119;&#097;&#115; struck &#111;&#102;&#102;. Christie Brown, representing Mr Haugh, said: “He &#105;&#115; &#115;&#111;&#109;&#101;&#098;&#111;&#100;&#121; who has learned &#102;&#114;&#111;&#109; his mistakes and I submit he &#105;&#115; &#115;&#116;&#105;&#108;&#108; &#097;&#110; asset to the profession.”</p>
<p> Mr Barker’s brother said: “Some &#111;&#102; the things said &#097;&#098;&#111;&#117;&#116; the &#119;&#097;&#121; YAS &#119;&#097;&#115; operating at the time were shocking, but nothing excused him &#097;&#115; a professional who did not give the &#114;&#105;&#103;&#104;&#116; level &#111;&#102; care.</p>
<p> “The family has &#098;&#101;&#101;&#110; left &#102;&#111;&#114; a long time &#102;&#111;&#114; the case to come to a consequence, and I think if &#105;&#116; had happened immediately after the 2005-2007 period, Haugh would &#104;&#097;&#118;&#101; &#098;&#101;&#101;&#110; struck &#111;&#102;&#102; and &#105;&#116; would &#104;&#097;&#118;&#101; &#098;&#101;&#101;&#110; the &#114;&#105;&#103;&#104;&#116; &#100;&#101;&#099;&#105;&#115;&#105;&#111;&#110;.”</p>
<p> The tribunal found Mr Haugh’s fitness to practise &#119;&#097;&#115; impaired &#100;&#117;&#101; to malpractice.</p>
<p> Panel member Michael Cann said he failed to uphold YAS’s reputation and provide the duty &#111;&#102; care expected &#111;&#102; him.</p>

<p>On Thanksgiving Day last year, Lee Sheppard &#101;&#110;&#100;&#101;&#100; up in the emergency room suffering &#102;&#114;&#111;&#109; kidney failure. &#104;&#101; had been diagnosed many years earlier with polycystic kidney disease, &#097; hereditary condition &#116;&#104;&#097;&#116; had &#107;&#105;&#108;&#108;&#101;&#100; his father &#097;&#110;&#100; grandfather. &#104;&#101; had lived with the disease for years with few symptoms &#117;&#110;&#116;&#105;&#108; &#116;&#104;&#097;&#116; day.</p>
<p>Doctors had &#116;&#111;&#108;&#100; him his kidneys would only last about &#097; year in 2010. &#098;&#117;&#116; large, &#100;&#097;&#114;&#107; cysts caused severe pain for Sheppard &#097;&#110;&#100; brought concern about cancer. Doctors removed &#098;&#111;&#116;&#104; of his kidneys, &#119;&#104;&#105;&#099;&#104; &#119;&#101;&#114;&#101; functioning &#097;&#116; &#108;&#101;&#115;&#115; &#116;&#104;&#097;&#110; 20 percent of normal.</p>
<p>Following the surgery, Sheppard began dialysis &#097;&#110;&#100; his wife began to ponder giving him &#104;&#101;&#114; kidney.</p>
<p>&#8220;It was &#097;&#109;&#097;&#122;&#105;&#110;&#103; &#104;&#111;&#119; many lovely people &#099;&#097;&#109;&#101; &#111;&#117;&#116; of the woodwork &#097;&#110;&#100; volunteered &#116;&#104;&#101;&#105;&#114; kidneys. It&#8217;s &#110;&#111;&#116; something that&#8217;s easy to &#115;&#097;&#121; &#8216;thank you&#8217; to when &#115;&#111;&#109;&#101;&#098;&#111;&#100;&#121; offers you such &#097; great gift,&#8221; Pam Sheppard said. &#8220;I felt so privileged &#116;&#104;&#097;&#116; I became the best match.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;How overwhelmingly grateful I am for my wife for &#109;&#097;&#107;&#105;&#110;&#103; such &#097; sacrifice. &#119;&#101; feel so liberated &#097;&#110;&#100; energized for what the future holds, so, we&#8217;re deeply grateful,&#8221; Lee Sheppard said. &#160;&#160;&#160;</p>
<p>&#8220;&#119;&#101; already &#101;&#110;&#106;&#111;&#121;&#101;&#100; &#097; rich &#108;&#111;&#118;&#101; &#116;&#111;&#103;&#101;&#116;&#104;&#101;&#114;, &#098;&#117;&#116; this last year &#8212; &#119;&#104;&#105;&#099;&#104; &#104;&#097;&#115; been &#097; journey &#8212; &#104;&#097;&#115; reinforced it in such &#097; way &#116;&#104;&#097;&#116; it&#8217;s hard to put &#097; finger &#111;&#110; it,&#8221; Lee Sheppard said. &#8220;The transplant center team &#105;&#115; &#118;&#101;&#114;&#121;, &#118;&#101;&#114;&#121; profession &#097;&#110;&#100; &#100;&#111;&#101;&#115; everything it &#099;&#097;&#110; to make sure &#110;&#111;&#116;&#104;&#105;&#110;&#103; &#103;&#111;&#101;&#115; wrong &#8230; &#098;&#117;&#116; also (shows) real concern, &#114;&#101;&#097;&#108;&#108;&#121; compassionate.&#8221;</p>
<p>Dr. James Stinson recalled the &#102;&#105;&#114;&#115;&#116; such donation &#8212; 28 years &#097;&#103;&#111; &#8212; when &#097; sister gave &#097; kidney to &#104;&#101;&#114; brother.</p>
<p>&#8220;It freed him &#102;&#114;&#111;&#109; dialysis &#097;&#110;&#100; gave him many years of life &#116;&#104;&#097;&#116; &#104;&#101; would &#110;&#111;&#116; &#111;&#116;&#104;&#101;&#114;&#119;&#105;&#115;&#101; have had,&#8221; &#104;&#101; said.</p>
<p>Today, the Intermountain Transplant Program performs &#109;&#111;&#114;&#101; &#116;&#104;&#097;&#110; 135 heart, kidney, liver &#097;&#110;&#100; pancreas transplants &#101;&#097;&#099;&#104; year.</p>
<p>Dr. Diane Alonso, &#097;&#110;&#111;&#116;&#104;&#101;&#114; surgeon with the Intermountain Transplant Team, recognized the courage &#097;&#110;&#100; generosity of the human spirit.</p>
<p>&#8220;It cements &#116;&#104;&#097;&#116; living donation &#105;&#115; &#097; vial source of organs &#110;&#111;&#116; only in this state &#098;&#117;&#116; in the country, &#098;&#117;&#116; particularly in this state,&#8221; she said. &#8220;At our institution, 50 percent of our kidney donations &#097;&#114;&#101; &#102;&#114;&#111;&#109; live donors.&#8221;</p></p>

<p>Dear Mayo Clinic: My son &#119;&#097;&#115; diagnosed &#119;&#105;&#116;&#104; Crohn&#8217;s disease at age 13, and he&#8217;s &#110;&#111;&#119; 19. He &#117;&#115;&#101;&#100; &#116;&#111; be active, &#098;&#117;&#116; &#110;&#111;&#119; he&#8217;s exhausted. He&#8217;s been &#111;&#110; numerous medications, &#098;&#117;&#116; &#110;&#111;&#116;&#104;&#105;&#110;&#103; works for him. &#119;&#104;&#097;&#116; can be &#100;&#111;&#110;&#101;? He &#104;&#097;&#115; been bleeding a lot, and &#104;&#097;&#115; severe pain when &#103;&#111;&#105;&#110;&#103; &#116;&#111; &#116;&#104;&#101; bathroom, &#117;&#112; &#116;&#111; eight times each day.</p>
<p>Reply: Crohn&#8217;s disease can &#105;&#110;&#100;&#101;&#101;&#100; be a &#118;&#101;&#114;&#121; distressing and frustrating illness, &#098;&#117;&#116; a determined approach &#116;&#111; treatment can often result &#105;&#110; symptom relief.</p>
<p>A chronic condition, Crohn&#8217;s disease causes inflammation &#111;&#102; &#116;&#104;&#101; digestive tract. While inflammation can occur anywhere from one&#8217;s mouth &#116;&#111; &#116;&#104;&#101; anus, &#105;&#116; &#104;&#097;&#115; a special predilection for affecting &#116;&#104;&#101; small intestine. &#116;&#104;&#101; &#099;&#097;&#117;&#115;&#101; is unknown. Symptoms can be mild &#111;&#114; severe &#101;&#110;&#111;&#117;&#103;&#104; &#116;&#111; disrupt everyday activities.</p>
<p>Crohn&#8217;s disease can occur &#105;&#110; patients &#111;&#102; &#097;&#108;&#108; ages, &#098;&#117;&#116; peak incidence is &#098;&#101;&#116;&#119;&#101;&#101;&#110; ages 15 and 30 years. Symptoms can be nonspecific, &#098;&#117;&#116; often include diarrhea, abdominal pain, reduced appetite and weight loss. Crohn&#8217;s disease can&#8217;t be cured &#098;&#117;&#116; &#105;&#116; &#109;&#097;&#121; go &#105;&#110;&#116;&#111; remission for long periods &#111;&#102; time, particularly &#119;&#105;&#116;&#104; medical treatment.</p>
<p>For patients &#108;&#105;&#107;&#101; &#121;&#111;&#117;&#114; son, &#119;&#104;&#111; continue &#116;&#111; &#104;&#097;&#118;&#101; problematic symptoms despite aggressive treatment, I would recommend a thorough reassessment by a physician &#119;&#104;&#111; specializes &#105;&#110; &#116;&#104;&#105;&#115; area &#111;&#102; medicine. Seek &#111;&#117;&#116; a board-certified gastroenterologist &#119;&#105;&#116;&#104; expertise &#105;&#110; treating Crohn&#8217;s disease.</p>
<p>The doctor &#119;&#105;&#108;&#108; &#097;&#108;&#115;&#111; need &#116;&#111; &#099;&#111;&#110;&#115;&#105;&#100;&#101;&#114; &#111;&#116;&#104;&#101;&#114; conditions that could be driving &#116;&#104;&#101; symptoms. &#111;&#110;&#101; example could be &#097;&#110; undiagnosed infection. Aggressive treatment &#111;&#102; any coexisting conditions could &#104;&#101;&#108;&#112; relieve &#121;&#111;&#117;&#114; son&#8217;s symptoms.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s a long list &#111;&#102; medication options &#116;&#111; manage Crohn&#8217;s disease. Even &#105;&#102; you&#8217;ve tried &#115;&#101;&#118;&#101;&#114;&#097;&#108;, there &#109;&#097;&#121; be &#111;&#116;&#104;&#101;&#114; choices and combinations &#116;&#111; &#099;&#111;&#110;&#115;&#105;&#100;&#101;&#114;. &#121;&#111;&#117;&#114; son might &#097;&#108;&#115;&#111; think &#097;&#098;&#111;&#117;&#116; participating &#105;&#110; a clinical trial &#116;&#111; evaluate new ways &#116;&#111; treat &#116;&#104;&#101; disease.</p>
<p>Stress can &#104;&#097;&#118;&#101; &#097;&#110; adverse affect &#111;&#110; &#118;&#097;&#114;&#105;&#111;&#117;&#115; diseases, and stress reduction &#109;&#097;&#121; play a role &#105;&#110; managing symptoms &#111;&#102; Crohn&#8217;s disease.</p>
<p>I wish there &#119;&#101;&#114;&#101; &#097;&#110; easy formula &#116;&#111; improve &#121;&#111;&#117;&#114; son&#8217;s health. &#098;&#117;&#116; &#116;&#104;&#101; treatment &#111;&#102; Crohn&#8217;s disease can be complicated, and &#121;&#111;&#117;&#114; son &#119;&#105;&#108;&#108; need &#116;&#111; work closely &#119;&#105;&#116;&#104; &#104;&#105;&#115; medical team.</p>
<p>Even when &#105;&#116; seems &#108;&#105;&#107;&#101; you&#8217;ve tried everything, there are &#108;&#105;&#107;&#101;&#108;&#121; &#116;&#111; be &#109;&#111;&#114;&#101; options &#116;&#111; &#099;&#111;&#110;&#115;&#105;&#100;&#101;&#114;. Continue &#116;&#111; seek effective treatment &#097;&#115; well &#097;&#115; support for yourself and &#121;&#111;&#117;&#114; son. &#116;&#104;&#101; Crohn&#8217;s and Colitis Foundation (ccfa.org) is a &#103;&#114;&#101;&#097;&#116; resource. &#8212; David Bruining, M.D., Gastroenterology, Mayo Clinic</p>

<p><strong><u>Help – I’ve had an attack of acute pancreatitis</u></strong></p>
<p>“Alcohol” &#097;&#110;&#100; “Pancreas”.  These &#116;&#119;&#111; words are not &#117;&#115;&#117;&#097;&#108;&#108;&#121; associated with one &#097;&#110;&#111;&#116;&#104;&#101;&#114;.  But too &#111;&#102;&#116;&#101;&#110; these words become painfully &#097;&#110;&#100; permanently connected &#097;&#102;&#116;&#101;&#114; a person &#104;&#097;&#115; experienced a piercing case of acute pancreatitis. </p>
<p>Perhaps &#121;&#111;&#117; or a &#108;&#111;&#118;&#101;&#100; one &#119;&#097;&#115; &#114;&#101;&#099;&#101;&#110;&#116;&#108;&#121; admitted &#116;&#111; the hospital with the symptoms of acute pancreatitis: nausea, pain, fever, bloating, etc. &#116;&#104;&#101;&#110; &#121;&#111;&#117; probably &#104;&#097;&#118;&#101; many &#113;&#117;&#101;&#115;&#116;&#105;&#111;&#110;&#115; &#097;&#098;&#111;&#117;&#116; pancreatitis.  For example, what caused the acute pancreatitis?  Acute pancreatitis &#104;&#097;&#115; many causes, &#097;&#110;&#100; one of &#116;&#104;&#101;&#109; is excessive alcohol consumption.  A common &#115;&#101;&#099;&#111;&#110;&#100; question: what &#104;&#097;&#112;&#112;&#101;&#110;&#115; &#097;&#102;&#116;&#101;&#114; the patient is released from the hospital?  &#105;&#102; people continue &#116;&#111; drink alcohol &#097;&#102;&#116;&#101;&#114; &#116;&#104;&#101;&#105;&#114; &#102;&#105;&#114;&#115;&#116; attack of pancreatitis &#116;&#104;&#101;&#121; are much &#109;&#111;&#114;&#101; &#108;&#105;&#107;&#101;&#108;&#121; &#116;&#111; develop chronic pancreatitis. </p>
<p>A person living with chronic pancreatitis experiences an array of digestive complications, such &#097;&#115; ongoing indigestion &#097;&#110;&#100; severe pain. &#109;&#111;&#114;&#101;&#111;&#118;&#101;&#114;, chronic pancreatitis ultimately increases the risk of pancreatic cancer.</p>
<p> <strong><u>Can I still drink alcohol?</u></strong></p>
<p>In a word: NO.  &#121;&#111;&#117; are wrong &#105;&#102; &#121;&#111;&#117; think &#121;&#111;&#117; &#099;&#097;&#110; continue &#116;&#111; drink alcohol &#098;&#101;&#099;&#097;&#117;&#115;&#101; you’ve &#111;&#110;&#108;&#121; had ONE attack of acute pancreatitis.  &#097;&#110;&#100; it’s &#097;&#108;&#115;&#111; a &#098;&#097;&#100; &#105;&#100;&#101;&#097; &#116;&#111; continue drinking &#098;&#101;&#099;&#097;&#117;&#115;&#101; &#121;&#111;&#117; think &#116;&#104;&#097;&#116; modern medicine will cure your acute or chronic pancreatitis.  &#116;&#104;&#101;&#114;&#101; is currently &#110;&#111; treatment in Western medicine &#119;&#104;&#105;&#099;&#104; is &#097;&#098;&#108;&#101; &#116;&#111; stop or reverse the root causes of chronic alcoholic pancreatitis: the death of pancreatic cells &#097;&#110;&#100; the slowed production of digestive enzymes.  Simply treating alcoholic pancreatitis is complicated, involves numerous steps, &#097;&#110;&#100; requires a variety of professionals (read &#097;&#098;&#111;&#117;&#116; treatments below).</p>
<p> Research shows &#116;&#104;&#097;&#116; a general increase in alcohol consumption may be the &#099;&#097;&#117;&#115;&#101; of &#109;&#111;&#114;&#101; &#097;&#110;&#100; &#109;&#111;&#114;&#101; patients suffering from acute pancreatitis.  Consistently over-consuming alcohol for 5-10 years &#117;&#115;&#117;&#097;&#108;&#108;&#121; precedes the &#102;&#105;&#114;&#115;&#116; attack of acute alcoholic pancreatitis.  Acute pancreatitis currently strikes 80,000 &#116;&#111; 200,000 in the U.S. each year, but the numbers are increasing every year.  Although not all alcoholics develop pancreatitis, &#097;&#102;&#116;&#101;&#114; a pancreatic attack it is &#118;&#101;&#114;&#121; important &#116;&#111; stop drinking &#097;&#115; alcohol becomes even &#109;&#111;&#114;&#101; toxic for the pancreas.</p>
<p>It &#104;&#097;&#115; been proven again &#097;&#110;&#100; again &#116;&#104;&#097;&#116; it is not safe for a patient &#116;&#111; drink <strong>ANY</strong> amount of alcohol &#097;&#102;&#116;&#101;&#114; an attack of acute pancreatitis.  Scientific research &#104;&#097;&#115; shown &#116;&#104;&#097;&#116; &#097;&#102;&#116;&#101;&#114; an attack of acute pancreatitis the lifespan of the patient eventually becomes dependent &#117;&#112;&#111;&#110; &#116;&#104;&#101;&#105;&#114; ability &#116;&#111; stop drinking alcohol.  Patients &#116;&#104;&#097;&#116; continue drinking alcohol will almost &#099;&#101;&#114;&#116;&#097;&#105;&#110;&#108;&#121; develop chronic pancreatitis due &#116;&#111; the progressive destruction of &#116;&#104;&#101;&#105;&#114; pancreas.</p>
<p> <strong><u>How &#100;&#111; I stop drinking?</u></strong></p>
<p>Hopefully &#116;&#104;&#105;&#115; article &#104;&#097;&#115; already informed &#121;&#111;&#117; of the dangers of continuing &#116;&#111; drink alcohol &#097;&#102;&#116;&#101;&#114; an attack of acute pancreatitis.  In a nutshell, it is VERY important for patients &#116;&#111; stop drinking alcohol once &#097;&#110;&#100; for all.  But &#104;&#111;&#119;?  Some people &#099;&#097;&#110; &#103;&#105;&#118;&#101; up drinking alcohol with &#110;&#111; problem whatsoever.  However, it is incredibly hard for many people &#116;&#111; stop drinking completely.  &#097;&#115; a matter of fact, many experts feel it is &#110;&#101;&#120;&#116; &#116;&#111; impossible &#116;&#111; completely overcome alcohol addiction &#119;&#105;&#116;&#104;&#111;&#117;&#116; the assistance of an experienced licensed practitioner – or even a team of licensed specialists.</p>
<p>Another hurdle facing patients &#097;&#110;&#100; &#116;&#104;&#101;&#105;&#114; families is the inability of the sick person &#116;&#111; admit &#116;&#104;&#097;&#116; &#116;&#104;&#101;&#121; &#104;&#097;&#118;&#101; an alcohol problem.  &#115;&#111;&#109;&#101;&#116;&#105;&#109;&#101;&#115; it helps &#116;&#111; assess honestly the alcohol consumption in your life.  Try &#116;&#097;&#107;&#105;&#110;&#103; the test below, &#097;&#110;&#100; &#115;&#101;&#101; &#105;&#102; &#121;&#111;&#117; &#109;&#105;&#103;&#104;&#116; &#104;&#097;&#118;&#101; a problem with alcohol.</p>

<p> <strong><u>What &#100;&#111;&#101;&#115; treatment involve?</u></strong><u></u></p>
<p>The mind &#097;&#110;&#100; the body need &#116;&#111; be treated &#097;&#116; the same time for an alcohol cessation treatment &#116;&#111; be successful.  In addition, &#105;&#102; the patient &#104;&#097;&#115; just had an attack of acute pancreatitis, the health of the pancreas must be &#116;&#097;&#107;&#101;&#110; into account when &#112;&#108;&#097;&#110;&#110;&#105;&#110;&#103; the treatment. It is &#109;&#101;&#097;&#110; &#116;&#104;&#097;&#116; stop drinking treatment &#104;&#097;&#115; &#116;&#111; be safe for sick &#097;&#110;&#100; malfunctioning pancreas.</p>
<p><strong>Basic detoxification</strong> of the body is &#119;&#104;&#101;&#114;&#101; &#109;&#111;&#115;&#116; practitioners &#098;&#101;&#103;&#105;&#110; when &#116;&#104;&#101;&#121; &#115;&#116;&#097;&#114;&#116; the treatment of alcoholism.  Basic detoxification generally consists of colon hydrotherapy, a special diet, the restoration of friendly intestinal flora (if antibiotics &#104;&#097;&#118;&#101; been &#117;&#115;&#101;&#100; &#116;&#111; decrease inflammation), nutritional supplements &#097;&#110;&#100; herbal teas, &#097;&#110;&#100; drinking the healing mineral water made from the Genuine Karlovy Vary Thermal Spring Salt &#097;&#116; home.</p>
<p>Nearly every type of cell in the human body, including those of the central nervous &#115;&#121;&#115;&#116;&#101;&#109;, is affected by the long-term &#117;&#115;&#101; of alcohol.  The brain literally becomes dependent &#111;&#110; alcohol.  &#115;&#111; &#097;&#102;&#116;&#101;&#114; basic detoxification the practitioner moves &#111;&#110; &#116;&#111; the <strong>normalization of brain chemistry</strong>.  Alcohol dependency is broken by healing &#097;&#110;&#100; normalizing the brain using an anti-alcohol diet, the addition of essential amino acids, herbs &#097;&#110;&#100; nutritional supplements, magnet therapy, common acupuncture &#097;&#110;&#100; auricular acupuncture-NADA protocol.</p>
<p>Hypnotherapy with <strong>subconscious positive programming</strong> is &#117;&#115;&#101;&#100; successfully by many practitioners.  By our experience, many patients report having had &#103;&#111;&#111;&#100; result with using custom hypnosis CDs.  These custom CDs  are made for each individual client, &#097;&#110;&#100; &#099;&#097;&#110; be &#117;&#115;&#101;&#100; &#097;&#115; long &#097;&#115; necessary in the privacy of &#116;&#104;&#101;&#105;&#114; &#111;&#119;&#110; homes.</p>
<p>The combination of alcohol &#097;&#110;&#100; pancreatitis ravages the body by causing severe acidity &#097;&#110;&#100; a deficiency of vital minerals &#097;&#110;&#100; trace elements.  <strong>Acid-alkaline balance normalization</strong> &#099;&#097;&#110; help the patient by aiding the body’s recovery from addiction &#116;&#111; alcohol &#097;&#110;&#100; minimizing the symptoms of pancreatitis.  Balance normalization is achieved &#116;&#104;&#114;&#111;&#117;&#103;&#104; nutritional supplementation, careful diet, &#097;&#110;&#100; European healing mineral water made from the Genuine Karlovy Vary Thermal Spring Salt &#097;&#116; home.</p>
<p>Regardless of the therapies &#117;&#115;&#101;&#100; &#116;&#111; stop alcohol addiction, it will take time for the body &#116;&#111; repair itself &#097;&#102;&#116;&#101;&#114; years of alcohol abuse.  Ultimately the symptoms of chronic alcoholic pancreatitis will decrease, &#097;&#110;&#100; symptoms such &#097;&#115; indigestion, pain, gas, bloating, mood swings, depression, insomnia, sexual dysfunctions &#097;&#110;&#100; a variety of gastrointestinal complaints will become less &#097;&#110;&#100; less frequent.</p>
<p>To stop drinking alcohol may seem impossible &#114;&#105;&#103;&#104;&#116; &#110;&#111;&#119;, but it is possible with the help of experienced professionals.  The &#109;&#111;&#115;&#116; important &#116;&#104;&#105;&#110;&#103; &#116;&#111; remember is &#116;&#104;&#097;&#116; &#121;&#111;&#117; &#099;&#097;&#110; recover from addiction. </p>
<p>Moreover, breaking your addiction will not &#111;&#110;&#108;&#121; benefit your health &#114;&#105;&#103;&#104;&#116; &#110;&#111;&#119;, but it &#099;&#097;&#110; &#097;&#108;&#115;&#111; literally add years &#116;&#111; your life.</p>

<p>Our pets provide unconditional &#108;&#111;&#118;&#101; and companionship and &#105;&#116; &#105;&#115; very easy to &#116;&#097;&#107;&#101; &#116;&#104;&#105;&#115; for granted.</p>
<p>While &#109;&#111;&#115;&#116; of us are tuned into &#111;&#117;&#114; own stress levels &#105;&#116; &#105;&#115; easy to overlook the &#110;&#101;&#101;&#100;&#115; of &#111;&#117;&#114; pets, particularly dogs.</p>
<p>Stress symptoms in dogs &#099;&#097;&#110; &#116;&#097;&#107;&#101; &#109;&#097;&#110;&#121; different forms and those that are easy to recognize are &#097;&#115; follows:</p>
<p>1. Unusual irritability manifesting itself in unexpected growling &#111;&#114; biting (particularly upsetting when to the hand that feeds them);</p>
<p>2. Excessive drooling &#111;&#114; licking specific parts of &#116;&#104;&#101;&#105;&#114; body. Returning time and time again to the same area &#099;&#097;&#110; &#105;&#110;&#100;&#105;&#099;&#097;&#116;&#101; a tick &#111;&#114; injury;</p>
<p>3. Uncharacteristic moodiness &#111;&#114; sadness. If &#121;&#111;&#117;&#114; dog stays a long time in the &#111;&#110;&#101; place and &#100;&#111;&#101;&#115; not respond to calls &#111;&#114; instructions &#105;&#116; &#099;&#097;&#110; &#105;&#110;&#100;&#105;&#099;&#097;&#116;&#101; severe pain &#111;&#114; stress;</p>
<p>4. Frequent vomiting &#111;&#114; bowels movements that are irregular and unusual;</p>
<p>5. If &#121;&#111;&#117;&#114; dog &#107;&#101;&#101;&#112;&#115; &#116;&#104;&#101;&#105;&#114; tail &#098;&#101;&#116;&#119;&#101;&#101;&#110; &#116;&#104;&#101;&#105;&#114; legs &#116;&#104;&#105;&#115; &#099;&#097;&#110; be indicative of stress;</p>
<p>6. The easiest symptom of &#097;&#108;&#108; that suggests a problem &#105;&#115; when &#121;&#111;&#117;&#114; dogs turns &#116;&#104;&#101;&#105;&#114; &#098;&#097;&#099;&#107; &#111;&#110; food they would &#110;&#111;&#114;&#109;&#097;&#108;&#108;&#121; enthusiastically consume;</p>
<p>7. Blueness around the gums &#099;&#097;&#110; be indicative of heart problems.</p>
<p>If you detect &#097;&#110;&#121; of these problems and &#121;&#111;&#117;&#114; dog &#100;&#111;&#101;&#115; not respond to attention &#111;&#114; normal reinforcement you should consider &#116;&#097;&#107;&#105;&#110;&#103; them to &#121;&#111;&#117;&#114; local Vet.</p>
<p>I acknowledge that &#116;&#104;&#105;&#115; &#105;&#115; not a definitive list &#115;&#111; if you &#107;&#110;&#111;&#119; of &#111;&#116;&#104;&#101;&#114;&#115; &#116;&#104;&#101;&#110; please add them using the form at the &#098;&#111;&#116;&#116;&#111;&#109; of &#116;&#104;&#105;&#115; post.</p>
<p>Dogs can&#8217;t &#116;&#101;&#108;&#108; us verbally they are stressed but to the attentive owner &#105;&#116; &#105;&#115; &#117;&#115;&#117;&#097;&#108;&#108;&#121; obvious when &#116;&#104;&#105;&#110;&#103;&#115; are not right.</p>

<p>I&#039;ve &#104;&#097;&#100; 3 bouts of pancreatitis in &#116;&#104;&#101; past year &#097;&#110;&#100; have been nauseas &#097;&#110;&#100; &#104;&#097;&#118;&#105;&#110;&#103; a ton of pain in &#109;&#121; left side 4 &#116;&#104;&#101; last &#102;&#101;&#119; days which has &#106;&#117;&#115;&#116; been &#103;&#101;&#116;&#116;&#105;&#110;&#103; worse. &#099;&#111;&#117;&#108;&#100; &#116;&#104;&#105;&#115; b gallstones?

<p>Every week, Kerry Fuller counts out his medication into a plastic pill box. </p>
<p>He fills the compartments with the 20-30 tablets &#104;&#101; takes &#101;&#097;&#099;&#104; day &#102;&#111;&#114; heart problems &#097;&#110;&#100; severe pain &#105;&#110; his muscles &#097;&#110;&#100; joints. </p>
<p>Formerly a &#107;&#101;&#101;&#110; hill walker, Kerry now struggles &#116;&#111; walk &#109;&#111;&#114;&#101; than a few dozen metres &#102;&#114;&#111;&#109; his home at Dudley &#105;&#110; the West Midlands &#119;&#105;&#116;&#104;&#111;&#117;&#116; stopping &#102;&#111;&#114; breath. Some days, &#112;&#097;&#114;&#116;&#105;&#099;&#117;&#108;&#097;&#114;&#108;&#121; &#105;&#110; cold weather, &#104;&#101; is forced &#116;&#111; stay indoors because &#111;&#102; crippling pain. </p>
<p>Twenty years &#097;&#103;&#111; this weekend, coalition forces &#098;&#101;&#103;&#097;&#110; the air campaign &#116;&#111; force Saddam Hussein&#039;s Iraqi troops out &#111;&#102; Kuwait. </p>
<p>As Operation Desert Storm got &#117;&#110;&#100;&#101;&#114; &#119;&#097;&#121;, Kerry Fuller &#119;&#097;&#115; a senior aircraftman with the RAF Support Helicopter Force stationed at Al-Jubail &#105;&#110; Saudi Arabia. </p>
<p>As &#112;&#097;&#114;&#116; &#111;&#102; his pre-war preparations &#104;&#101; &#119;&#097;&#115; given around a dozen vaccinations &#116;&#111; protect &#104;&#105;&#109; &#105;&#110; the event &#116;&#104;&#097;&#116; Saddam Hussein&#039;s forces used chemical &#111;&#114; biological weapons. &#119;&#105;&#116;&#104;&#105;&#110; a week Kerry &#119;&#097;&#115; &#116;&#097;&#107;&#101;&#110; &#116;&#111; hospital with chronic fatigue.</p>
<p>He returned &#116;&#111; active service a few days later &#098;&#117;&#116; the bouts &#111;&#102; ill-health recurred. &#104;&#101; &#119;&#097;&#115; &#105;&#110; hospital &#097;&#103;&#097;&#105;&#110; with chronic fatigue &#119;&#105;&#116;&#104;&#105;&#110; a year &#111;&#102; returning &#102;&#114;&#111;&#109; the Gulf. </p>
<p>At the age &#111;&#102; 40 &#104;&#101; suffered a stroke, which has left &#104;&#105;&#109; with a mild stammer. </p>
<p>Kerry Fuller believes his deployment &#116;&#111; the Gulf caused &#119;&#104;&#097;&#116; has come &#116;&#111; &#098;&#101; &#107;&#110;&#111;&#119;&#110; &#097;&#115; &quot;Gulf War Syndrome&quot;.</p>
<p>&quot;We &#119;&#101;&#114;&#101; used &#097;&#115; guinea-pigs, knowingly &#111;&#114; unknowingly,&quot; &#104;&#101; says.</p>
<p>&quot;&#103;&#111;&#105;&#110;&#103; &#116;&#111; war didn&#039;t bother &#109;&#101; &#098;&#117;&#116; I didn&#039;t bank &#111;&#110; &#098;&#101;&#105;&#110;&#103; poisoned by my &#111;&#119;&#110; &#115;&#105;&#100;&#101;.</p>
<p>&quot;Now, a lot &#111;&#102; &#117;&#115; feel &#105;&#116; would &#104;&#097;&#118;&#101; &#098;&#101;&#101;&#110; &#109;&#117;&#099;&#104; better &#105;&#102; we &#104;&#097;&#100; &#098;&#101;&#101;&#110; killed &#105;&#110; action &#097;&#110;&#100; hadn&#039;t come &#098;&#097;&#099;&#107; at all.&quot;</p>
<p> Unexplained illnesses
<p>There is &#108;&#105;&#116;&#116;&#108;&#101; doubt &#116;&#104;&#097;&#116; some veterans developed unexplained illnesses &#102;&#111;&#108;&#108;&#111;&#119;&#105;&#110;&#103; their service &#105;&#110; the Gulf &#116;&#119;&#111; decades &#097;&#103;&#111;.</p>
<p>Reported symptoms range &#102;&#114;&#111;&#109; chronic fatigue, headaches &#097;&#110;&#100; sleep disturbances &#116;&#111; joint pains, irritable bowel, stomach &#097;&#110;&#100; respiratory disorders &#097;&#110;&#100; psychological problems. </p>
<p> &#115;&#105;&#110;&#099;&#101; his deployment &#116;&#111; the Gulf ahead &#111;&#102; the war, Kerry has suffered recurring ill health
<p>Twenty years &#111;&#110;, &#116;&#104;&#111;&#117;&#103;&#104;, there is still disagreement &#111;&#118;&#101;&#114; why rates &#111;&#102; ill health &#097;&#114;&#101; twice &#097;&#115; high &#097;&#109;&#111;&#110;&#103; Gulf War veterans than troops deployed elsewhere.</p>
<p>Campaigners &#097;&#110;&#100; doctors also continue &#116;&#111; disagree &#111;&#118;&#101;&#114; whether Gulf War Syndrome &#097;&#099;&#116;&#117;&#097;&#108;&#108;&#121; exists &#097;&#115; a medical condition unique &#116;&#111; Operation Desert Storm. </p>
<p>Even estimates &#111;&#102; the number &#111;&#102; people &#109;&#097;&#100;&#101; ill by their service &#105;&#110; the Gulf vary widely. Official figures show &#116;&#104;&#097;&#116; &#109;&#111;&#114;&#101; than 1,500 people &#105;&#110; the UK &#104;&#097;&#118;&#101; claimed war pensions due &#116;&#111; Gulf War illnesses &#098;&#117;&#116; campaigners insist the &#116;&#114;&#117;&#101; number &#111;&#102; sufferers is &#109;&#097;&#110;&#121; times higher. </p>
<p>In the years &#115;&#105;&#110;&#099;&#101; Operation Desert Storm, theories &#111;&#118;&#101;&#114; &#112;&#111;&#115;&#115;&#105;&#098;&#108;&#101; causes &#111;&#102; ill health &#104;&#097;&#118;&#101; ranged &#102;&#114;&#111;&#109; vaccinations, depleted uranium used &#105;&#110; armour-piercing weapons, organophosphate pesticides, exposure &#116;&#111; nerve agents &#097;&#110;&#100; the effects &#111;&#102; inhaling toxic smoke &#102;&#114;&#111;&#109; burning oil wells. </p>
<p>Psychological factors &#097;&#110;&#100; battlefield stress &#104;&#097;&#118;&#101; also &#098;&#101;&#101;&#110; cited &#097;&#115; &#112;&#111;&#115;&#115;&#105;&#098;&#108;&#101; factors.</p>
<p>Professor Simon Wessely is director &#111;&#102; the King&#039;s Centre &#102;&#111;&#114; Military Health Research &#105;&#110; London &#097;&#110;&#100; &#097;&#110; adviser &#116;&#111; the Ministry &#111;&#102; Defence. &#104;&#101; &#100;&#111;&#101;&#115; &#110;&#111;&#116; believe Gulf War Syndrome exists &#097;&#115; a distinct illness. </p>
<p>Even &#115;&#111;, &#104;&#101; has no doubt &#116;&#104;&#097;&#116; a significant number &#111;&#102; Gulf veterans &#098;&#101;&#099;&#097;&#109;&#101; ill &#097;&#115; a direct result &#111;&#102; their military service.</p>
<p>&quot;The evidence is incontrovertible &#116;&#104;&#097;&#116; there is a Gulf War health effect,&quot; &#104;&#101; says.</p>
<p>&quot;Something &#116;&#111; &#100;&#111; with the Gulf has affected health &#097;&#110;&#100; no-one &#115;&#101;&#114;&#105;&#111;&#117;&#115; has &#101;&#118;&#101;&#114; disputed &#116;&#104;&#097;&#116;. </p>
<p>&quot;Is there a problem? Yes there is. Is &#105;&#116; Gulf War Syndrome &#111;&#114; isn&#039;t &#105;&#116;? I think that&#039;s a statistical &#097;&#110;&#100; technical question that&#039;s &#111;&#102; minor &#105;&#110;&#116;&#101;&#114;&#101;&#115;&#116;.&quot; </p>
<p>The Ministry &#111;&#102; Defence echoes Professor Wessely&#039;s view. </p>
<p>An MoD spokeswoman &#116;&#111;&#108;&#100; BBC News: &quot;We &#104;&#097;&#118;&#101; long accepted &#116;&#104;&#097;&#116; some veterans &#111;&#102; the Gulf conflict &#097;&#114;&#101; ill &#097;&#110;&#100; &#116;&#104;&#097;&#116; some &#111;&#102; this ill health may &#098;&#101; related &#116;&#111; their Gulf service. </p>
<p>&quot;The UK &#097;&#110;&#100; the US &#104;&#097;&#118;&#101; undertaken a substantial &#097;&#109;&#111;&#117;&#110;&#116; &#111;&#102; research into Gulf veterans&#039; illness. The research has &#105;&#110;&#100;&#105;&#099;&#097;&#116;&#101;&#100; &#116;&#104;&#097;&#116; there is no illness which is specific &#116;&#111; Gulf veterans.&quot;</p>
<p>But some ex-servicemen regard this position &#097;&#115; cowardly.</p>
<p> &#8216;Left behind&#8217;
<p>&quot;The MoD is afraid &#111;&#102; &#098;&#101;&#105;&#110;&#103; accountable,&quot; says Shaun Rusling &#102;&#114;&#111;&#109; the National Gulf Veterans &#097;&#110;&#100; Families Association.</p>
<p>&quot;&#105;&#102; they admitted there &#119;&#097;&#115; such a thing &#097;&#115; Gulf War Syndrome they could &#098;&#101; open &#116;&#111; compensation claims &#102;&#111;&#114; medical negligence.</p>
<p>&quot;I would &#108;&#105;&#107;&#101; the present government &#116;&#111; apologise &#116;&#111; the servicemen &#097;&#110;&#100; give &#116;&#104;&#101;&#109; proper care &#097;&#110;&#100; pensions.&quot;</p>
<p> Hundreds, perhaps thousands, &#111;&#102; veterans &#104;&#097;&#118;&#101; suffered poor health &#115;&#105;&#110;&#099;&#101; the 1991 war
<p>Sue Freeth, director &#111;&#102; welfare at the Royal British Legion, fears &#116;&#104;&#097;&#116; with the passage &#111;&#102; time, ex-servicemen &#119;&#104;&#111; served &#105;&#110; the Gulf &#105;&#110; 1990 &#097;&#110;&#100; 1991 &#097;&#114;&#101; &#105;&#110; danger &#111;&#102; &#098;&#101;&#105;&#110;&#103; forgotten.</p>
<p>&quot;A lot &#111;&#102; veterans, because they haven&#039;t &#098;&#101;&#101;&#110; &#097;&#098;&#108;&#101; &#116;&#111; &#102;&#105;&#110;&#100; treatment, &#104;&#097;&#118;&#101; &#100;&#101;&#099;&#105;&#100;&#101;&#100; &#116;&#111; stop looking because they think nobody cares &#097;&#110;&#121; &#109;&#111;&#114;&#101;,&quot; she says. </p>
<p>&quot;Some &#111;&#102; &#116;&#104;&#101;&#109; &#097;&#114;&#101; getting support &#102;&#114;&#111;&#109; their GPs &#111;&#114; their Primary Care Trusts &#098;&#117;&#116; certainly some veterans we talk &#116;&#111; &#097;&#114;&#101; &#110;&#111;&#116; getting &#097;&#110;&#121; support &#117;&#110;&#108;&#101;&#115;&#115; they can pay &#102;&#111;&#114; &#105;&#116; privately. </p>
<p>&quot;With the kind &#111;&#102; injuries &#116;&#104;&#097;&#116; &#097;&#114;&#101; coming out &#111;&#102; the current campaign &#105;&#110; Afghanistan, the Gulf War veteran is very &#109;&#117;&#099;&#104; &#098;&#101;&#105;&#110;&#103; left &#098;&#101;&#104;&#105;&#110;&#100; &#097;&#110;&#100; resources &#8211; tight &#097;&#115; they &#097;&#114;&#101; &#8211; &#097;&#114;&#101; &#110;&#111;&#116; now &#098;&#101;&#105;&#110;&#103; directed at &#116;&#104;&#101;&#109;.&quot; </p>
<p>As veterans remember the 20th anniversary &#111;&#102; Operation Desert Storm, &#105;&#116; seems increasingly unlikely &#116;&#104;&#097;&#116; sufferers &#108;&#105;&#107;&#101; Kerry Fuller &#119;&#105;&#108;&#108; &#101;&#118;&#101;&#114; receive a definitive explanation &#102;&#111;&#114; their ill health. </p>
<p>&quot;I don&#039;t think we&#039;&#114;&#101; &#101;&#118;&#101;&#114; &#103;&#111;&#105;&#110;&#103; &#116;&#111; &#098;&#101; &#097;&#098;&#108;&#101; &#116;&#111; take &#105;&#116; &#097;&#110;&#121; further now,&quot; says Professor Simon Wessely. </p>
<p>&quot;Even &#105;&#102; &#121;&#111;&#117; gave &#109;&#101; £10m [for research], I wouldn&#039;t &#107;&#110;&#111;&#119; &#119;&#104;&#097;&#116; &#116;&#111; &#100;&#111; with &#105;&#116;. </p>
<p>&quot;I think the only thing worth spending money &#111;&#110; is &#116;&#114;&#121;&#105;&#110;&#103; &#116;&#111; help those &#119;&#104;&#111; &#097;&#114;&#101; ill.&quot;</p></p>

<p>As men reach middle age, many of &#116;&#104;&#101;&#109; develop symptoms of &#097;&#110; enlarged prostate gland. It&#8217;s just &#097; natural piece of the aging process for &#097; lot of men. Symptoms can range &#102;&#114;&#111;&#109; minor &#116;&#111; severe or &#115;&#101;&#114;&#105;&#111;&#117;&#115; ones. It&#8217;s not common, but sometimes &#097;&#110; enlarged prostate gland compresses the urethra so strongly that urine can&#8217;t flow at all, &#119;&#104;&#105;&#099;&#104; results &#105;&#110; severe pain, &#097;&#110;&#100; possibly &#097;&#110; emergency room trip.</p>
<p>Here is &#115;&#111;&#109;&#101; background, &#097;&#110;&#100; &#112;&#101;&#114;&#104;&#097;&#112;&#115; &#115;&#111;&#109;&#101; &#104;&#101;&#108;&#112;.</p>
<p>Why &#097; man&#8217;s prostate gland enlarges isn&#8217;t fully understood. When boys start becoming men, &#097;&#110;&#100; as &#116;&#104;&#101;&#105;&#114; testosterone levels start increasing, &#116;&#104;&#101;&#105;&#114; prostate glands start enlarging. The glands stabilize &#097;&#110;&#100; &#116;&#104;&#101;&#110; &#101;&#118;&#101;&#110; shrink &#097; bit, &#097;&#110;&#100; &#116;&#104;&#101;&#110; later &#105;&#110; life they enlarge &#111;&#110;&#099;&#101; again, &#101;&#118;&#101;&#110; as testosterone levels are falling. Men born with &#110;&#111; testicles, or who lose &#116;&#104;&#101;&#109; due &#116;&#111; accident don&#8217;t get &#097;&#110; enlarged prostate gland, so there clearly is &#097; testosterone connection.</p>
<p>What doesn&#8217;t &#115;&#101;&#101;&#109; &#116;&#111; make sense is that &#105;&#110; puberty, the prostate enlarges while testosterone levels are surging, yet when the prostate &#115;&#116;&#097;&#114;&#116;&#115; enlarging, &#097;&#110;&#100; enlarged prostate symptoms start appearing &#105;&#110; middle age, men&#8217;s testosterone levels are generally falling.</p>
<p>That &#099;&#101;&#114;&#116;&#097;&#105;&#110;&#108;&#121; doesn&#8217;t &#115;&#101;&#101;&#109; logical. Nonetheless, the most common way of treating enlarged prostate symptoms is &#116;&#111; administer &#097; drug that blocks the enzyme that converts testosterone &#116;&#111; DHT. &#116;&#104;&#105;&#115; doesn&#8217;t work for all men, but &#105;&#116; does &#104;&#101;&#108;&#112; many.</p>
<p>Another often-prescribed drug, &#097;&#110;&#100; &#111;&#102;&#116;&#101;&#110; prescribed along with the enzyme-blocking drug, is one that relaxes muscles &#105;&#110; the neck of the bladder &#097;&#110;&#100; &#097;&#114;&#111;&#117;&#110;&#100; the urethra, &#119;&#104;&#105;&#099;&#104; can &#097;&#108;&#108;&#111;&#119; the urethra &#116;&#111; expand so urine can pass &#109;&#111;&#114;&#101; freely.</p>
<p>Both classes of drug are &#117;&#110;&#102;&#111;&#114;&#116;&#117;&#110;&#097;&#116;&#101;&#108;&#121; &#108;&#105;&#107;&#101;&#108;&#121; &#116;&#111; &#099;&#097;&#117;&#115;&#101; side effects &#105;&#110; many men.</p>
<p>This is why many men are &#108;&#111;&#111;&#107;&#105;&#110;&#103; for natural solutions. There are many&#8211; dozens, &#105;&#102; not &#101;&#118;&#101;&#110; hundreds, of herbal, non-prescription formulas promoted &#116;&#111; &#104;&#101;&#108;&#112; with enlarged prostate symptoms.</p>
<p>Beta-Sitosterol is the most common ingredient &#105;&#110; most of these formulas. &#105;&#116; &#104;&#097;&#115; &#097; DHT-reducing effect, working the same way as the prescriptions drugs do&#8211;blocking the conversion of testosterone &#105;&#110;&#116;&#111; dihydrotestosterone-but with &#102;&#101;&#119;&#101;&#114; &#097;&#110;&#100; &#109;&#117;&#099;&#104; &#108;&#101;&#115;&#115; severe side effects. Saw Palmetto is the most &#112;&#111;&#112;&#117;&#108;&#097;&#114; beta-sitosterol-containing plant. Other plants high &#105;&#110; beta-sitosterol are Stinging Nettle &#097;&#110;&#100; Pygeum, &#119;&#104;&#105;&#099;&#104; are widely &#117;&#115;&#101;&#100; &#105;&#110; prostate formulas.</p>
<p><b>Enlarged Prostate Symptoms Relief</b></p>
