Malaria is directly correlated with traveling to foreign countries with large populations of Aedes mosquitoes. Mosquitoes are acting as vector for this disease. The actual culprit is Plasmodium sp.
The Plasmodium falciparum infection is serious and requires medical emergency. The person needs to be hospitalized for treatment. The malaria caused by P.vivax, P.malariae and P. ovale can very well be treated at home or as out patient.
The treatment of malaria consists of anti-malarial drug administration and supportive therapy. Complete cure is possible if proper treatment is followed for prolonged period. (at least 4 weeks)
Chloroquine was in use for so long and is not so popular now. The reason is the development of resistant strains of plasmodium for chloroquine. Hence chloroquine is of no use in Asia and Africa where the plasmodium infections are common. In other places where the plasmodium infections are not common, the same drug is still effective. The resistant strains [for chloroquine] have reduced sensitivity to amodiaquines and quinine too, very unfortunate is it not.
Beta-blocker propranolol is under investigation for the treatment of malaria caused by resistant strains [to chloroquine]. This propranolol seems to possess the ability to block the plasmodium to enter the red blood cell.
You can use Doxycycline at least two days prior to departure to the country with large number of mosquitoes and also continue the same medicine for 4 weeks upon return home.
As Malaria is a very insidious and severe disease, you may find their symptoms return several days or months or years after treatment. Hence a complete course of treatment with specific drug is more essential for containing Malaria.

In Africa, 3,000 children a day die from Malaria. This is a terrible crisis! If there were a way you, the average person could do something to help make a difference, would you chose to do so? Well, there is such a way. One health and wellness company, in partnership with the Save A Child campaign is doing something wonderful. In numerous clinical tests, Colloidal Silver Solution has proven to be effective against the parasite that causes this deadly disease. It has been tested in clinics in Ghana, West Africa and it works. Children are being cured and lives are being saved!
This company has decided to take a proactive stance in the fight for the lives and the health of these children, to work to bring an end to the death toll caused by this maleficent killer. For every 4 ounce bottle of Colloidal Silver Solution purchased to be sent to Africa to treat the children, the company will match it with an additional bottle, so that two bottles are sent with each order. I'm proud to support any organization that truly has a heart for people, especially children. Malaria is not only a crisis in Africa, but in much of the world. All nations within 40 degrees north and south of the equator are now at risk. This Save A Child campaign will be expanded to other nations as well, in the near future.
Anyone reading this article can become part of this life saving work. All you have to do is click on the Save A Child link below in my signature file. Next click on the products tab, then click on the Save A Child link there, and place your order. It will cost you $15.00 if you want a T-Shirt and $10.00 if you don't. This company makes zero profit from any Save A Child order. Their only motive is to fight for the lives of innocent children who have done nothing to deserve such a terrible fate. Will you join them in this fight? I hope you will.

The diseases most commonly seen in travellers are diarrhoea, malaria (if you travel in a malaria-infested area), accidents (when travelling by car or swimming), wound infections and sexually transmitted diseases.
- Diarrhoea is caused by contaminated food and drinking-water. You must therefore be careful if your are travelling in poor hygiene conditions.
- Malaria is transmitted by mosquitoes, so the first thing to do is to protect yourself against these mosquitoes.
- In order to prevent accidents during travelling, it is wise to apply the same precautions as those taken at home. In addition, it is very important that all wounds should be thoroughly disinfected in order to avoid infection.
· TRAVELLER’S DIARRHOEA
Many intestinal infections are attributable to infections picked up by mouth or hands. With a little care most of these illnesses can be prevented. Hepatitis A, typhoid fever, polio and cholera still occur in countries with poor hygiene, but these diseases are easily prevented.
However, the chance is rather large that you will still contract a light and/or nondangerous form of traveller's diarrhoea. Traveller's diarrhoea almost always spontaneously clears up after a few days, but can nevertheless be irritating. And a risk to your overall and travel health.
In the first place measures must be taken against dehydration. Likewise, treatment of the symptoms must be considered in order to reduce the number of bowel movements and relieve other symptoms such as fever, vomiting and stomach cramps. Sometimes a more serious form of diarrhoea occurs, for which specific treatment with antibiotics is indicated or where hospitalisation or fluid replacement appears unavoidable.
It takes only a few basic preventive measures to make your trip a success : Total prevention of traveller's diarrhoea is impossible and it is obvious that preventive measures can seldom be strictly followed at all times. But following preventive measures do significantly reduce the risk of contracting serious diarrhoea: In order to maintain good travel health wash your hands before eating and avoid (if possible):
- raw vegetables and fruits that you have not peeled yourself - uncooked or unpasteurized dairy products - insufficiently cooked sea foods (+ Hepatitis A !) and meat - “local meals” which do not smell fresh - ice-cream bought from street merchants (industrial ice straight from the deep-freeze is probably safe).
Cooked meals should be served hot. The place where you eat is also important. A meal taken from a stall presents a greater risk than a meal taken in a restaurant. Avoid restaurants where there are a lot of insects. Avoid tap water and ice-cubes. Bottled water and soft drinks are safe. Watch out for bottle caps that have already been used.
It is very important to disinfect drinking-water on adventure trips. Total sterilisation of drinking water is impossible. The following measures considerably reduce the contamination risk and safeguard your travel health:
- Boiling the water is very effective. - A good alternative is chemical disinfection with chlorine drops (e.g. Hadex®, Drinkwell chloor®; available in sport shops specialized in outdoor activities) or chlorine tablets (Certisil Combina®; chloramine tablets; available at the pharmacy). Their effect can be improved by first filtering unclear water. Silver salts (Micropur®, Certisil Argento®) are not very suitable to disinfect water, but they keep disinfected water germ-free for a long time.
For adventurous travellers conscious to travel health it is best to buy a portable water-filter. The use of antibiotics in order to prevent diarrhoea before it occurs can be dangerous + Also the use of other preventive medications is not recommended.
. How to treat diarrhoea?
It is extremely important to consume sufficient liquid and salt in order to prevent dehydration. You can do this by taking salt solutions, but tea with lemon, broth, soft drinks and fruit juice, supplemented with salt crackers are tastier. Commercial salt products are available on the market (ORS-solution).
Taking an anti-diarrhoea preparation (loperamide, e.g. Imodium®) can greatly reduce the number of bowel movements, with a considerable reduction of the complaints as a result. Imodium® may only be used by adults and older children and only for treating ordinary watery diarrhoea: 1 capsule after every loose movement up to a maximum of 4 per day.
Antibiotics are indicated :
1. If blood, mucus or pus are present in the stools. 2. If after 24 to 48 hours, there is no sign of improvement and the diarrhoea is accompanied by fever (above 38.5 C) or severe abdominal cramps, or if there are more than six stools per 24 hours and especially when these also occur at night. 3. Or if because of travel circumstances a quicker solution is absolutely desirable . Appropriate antibiotics are only to be used on doctor’s prescription
· SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED DISEASES
Casual sexual contacts tend to be higher while on holiday abroad. Sexually transmitted diseases, particularly AIDS, form therefore an important risk for travellers. Quite often unintentional and unsafe sexual contact takes place under alcohol influence. Prevention while on holiday abroad is no different from the precautions you take at home. Adequate use of a condom, preferably bought at home, is absolutely essential. Only a water-soluble lubricant should be used, but it only offers a partial guarantee (e.g. KY gel). Vaccination against hepatitis B is advised. Always consult your doctor if you think you are at risk, even when there are no symptoms.
· MALARIA (swamp fever, malaria)
Malaria is an infectious disease caused by a parasite (called Plasmodium) transmitted by the bite of the Anopheles mosquito. There are four different types of which Malaria falciparum is the most dangerous and the most widespread. The incubation period – the time between an infecting bite and the appearance of the disease – varies from ten days to four weeks (rarely several months).
The symptoms include attacks of fever, but can initially be quite similar to influenza. If adequate treatment is not started in time, an attack may sometimes result in death within a few days.
. Where does malaria occur?
Malaria only occurs in those areas in which Anopheles mosquitoes are present : in the tropics and in a large number of subtropical areas. From a height of 1.500 to 2.500 m onwards, depending on temperature and climate, Anopheles mosquitoes are either rare or non-existent.
In most big cities there is little or no risk at all of infection, except in Africa where a real risk exists.
Risk also exists in the suburbs of the big cities in Asia (e.g. in India). In a number of areas the risk varies according to the season.
. How can malaria be prevented?
It is very important for travel health to avoid mosquito bites : the Anopheles mosquito only bites between dusk and dawn, is rather small and hardly makes any noise.
- In the evening wear light-coloured clothing which covers your arms and legs as much as possible. Apply repellent cream with a DEET basis (20 to 50%, for children and pregnant women preferably 20 to 30%) to the uncovered parts of your body. Repeat this every four to six hours (it will not protect you all night).
Non containing DEET repellents were less examined; Autan-Active. and Mosegor. are however excellent safe products.
- Sleep in rooms that leave no access to mosquitoes, (mosquito nets on the sills, electrically-warmed anti-mosquito plates, air-conditioning) or sleep under a mosquito net impregnated with permethrine or deltamethrine hung over the bed with the edges tucked under the mattress.
If these measures are carried out correctly, the risk of malaria will be reduced by 80 to 90% and travel health is maintained
. The intake of pills as prevention
There is no drug efficient enough to prevent malaria 100%, which means that quite often a combination of measures is preferable. Also the drugs used have changed over the years. Moreover, the advantages and disadvantages of drugs should be considered against the risk of malaria infection. These risks are dependent on the visited country, and on the region, the season, the duration of your stay and the kind of trip.
Some people might be troubled by the side effects while taking antimalarial drugs. These are usually mild and are not always a reason to stop taking the pills. Sometimes it may be necessary to change to another type of medication due to intestinal problems, allergic reactions or other intolerance symptoms.
Therefore it is the doctor who can best decide for each individual which drug to use. This explains why individuals from the same group may end up taking different drugs.
Finally, as no drug is 100% effective in preventing malaria, it is important that if an attack of fever occurs in the first three months after your return from the tropics, a malaria infection should be considered as a possibility despite the correct use of the drug prescribed.
However, it is reassuring to know that malaria, provided it is recognised in time, is easy to treat without any danger of recurrent attacks. The belief that "once malaria always malaria" is totally untrue.

But what is the American medical way? More than 22,000 healthy American Doctors were involved in the "Physicians Health study" at Harvard university. The results of the study were published in 1989 and revealed that 1 Aspirin a day reduces the incidence of heart attack by half, and that the drug can also help prevent thrombosis or stroke. AcetylSalicylic acid was first synthesized in 1899 in Germany. The American Aspirin study, the American cholesterol study, the American drugs for lowering cholesterol and labelling food with its cholesterol content, all participated in making heart diseases are by far more amendable than other chronic serious disease. Herbs are present in the world for 1000's of years, and some of them are present in Europe for 100 years, but the impetus of the international interest in herbs was intensified after the American way of medicine had adopted herbs to be submitted to heavy, organized, multi-center investigation. The American medical way when adopted herbal support of liver was contradictory to the predominant classic medical way adopting the adage" Don't whip the exhausted horse", yet it proved to be better than leaving the liver to its miserable fate. The American way of medicine is now directed to study aging, all and every aspect that can help fight aging. How can we hurry in implementing the new findings to fight aging? For one to advice others about how to improve their health, he should put safety in the first place. So, apart from the debatable items like hormones which should be prescribed by a physician after lab investigation as a replacement therapy, or to treat life threatening disease ( e.g.cancer), I prefer to only discuss nutrition( macro- and micro-nutrients) in view of the new findings elucidated by the American medical way. Macro-nutrients are those macromolecules (carbohydrates, fats and proteins) needed by the body more than one time every day in gross amounts calculated by grams. Micro-nutrients are those elements or compounds needed by the body.Some are calculated in milli-grams and others are calculated in micro-grams.They need to be present whether taken daily with food or supplied at intervals. The question arising here -which is logic- aren't all these nutrients present in our food? and as long as there is no deficiency of a certain nutrient, what is the point of recommending this or that nutrient, moreover, why it is supplied in a fabricated form? The answer is: Any nutrient should be absorbed, transported and metabolised, and all these processes involve protein molecules, these molecules act at their maximal activities at young age and upon aging they are submitted to glycation, cross-linking...etc. with an altered response to endogenous hormones. An example is Sarcopenia ( amino acid and muscle loss with aging) in which there is age associated alteration in the muscle anabolic response to nutritional stimuli and a decline in protein intake. It responds to supply of essential amino acids and branched chain amino acids (Leucine- IsoLeucine- Valine), Leucine was found to have a direct effect on initiation of mRNA translation. Now, how can you start fight aging the American way? CELL VOLUME: Cell fullness has a positive effect on metabolism, and cell shrinkage has a negative one. Presence of water inside the cell (which limits its volume is governed by the presence of Potassium which is the predominant element (ion) inside. presence of Potassium in the cell is determined by intake of fruits, vegetables and unprocessed food (processing causes potassium to leak out of the cells), as well as water intake. The best procedure you can do is to take a lot of juices(veg.& fruits). CARBOHYDRATES: you should reduce the EXTRA carbohydrates, specially the sugar and starchy stuff in order to : 1- Reduce weight. 2- Reduce fat production. 3- Reduce cholesterol production. 4- Reduce the abundance of sugars that causes glycation of proteins. 5- Increase Growth Hormone secretion. A special mention is to increasing fiber and essential sugars intake. Avoid carbohydrates intake 2 hours after exercise. FATS : The same old known story of reducing cholesterol and saturated fats (both come from one source i.e.the animal fat) and hydrogenated fats, as well as increasing intake of polyunsaturated acids containing fats (corn, sunflower, canula, soy..etc).I am biased to Soy oil as it contains: 1- Good % of polyunsaturated fatty acids( 61%). 2- good % of Lecithin which has positive effects on bad cholesterol (LDL) and liver cell membranes. 3- Good % of LINOLENIC acid(%7) which produces unmatched pair of prostaglandins, these are, the 3 series of prostaglandins(PG3) which are potent inhibitors of platelet aggregation, and Thromboxane3 (TX3) which are weak aggregators, instead of the 2 series (PG2&TX2) with the net result of thinning blood and making it less sticky. Other good sources of Linolenic acid include Flax seed and Primrose oils. PROTEINS : It should receive a special attention as proteins are the closest macro-molecule to the governing body control regulators; nerves, hormones and DNA. The bottom-line of utilizing proteins to fight aging is to increase its intake with a special care of the essential amino acids.Yet the American medical categorized them into some groups: 1- Neurotransmitters precursors group and includes; Tyrosine - PhenylAlanine - Methionine - Cysteine. 2- Growth hormone secretory activators and includes; Lysine-Arginine(or L-Arginine pyroglutamate if combined with Lysine) Ornithine - Glycine. 3- Muscle weakness (Sarcopenia) group and includes; Primarily the branched chain amino acids(Valine-Leucine-IsoLeucine) besides other essential amino acids. 4- Healing group and includes; Cysteine-Glycine-Threonine. Some individuals with inborn-error metabolism can't take some amino acids(those with phenylketoneuria can't take phenylalanine), but for the normal persons amino acids have v. important role in the body (Arginine is the precursor of Nitric oxide (NO) which causes relaxation of smooth muscles of blood vessels and is the end product of coronary vasodilators and drugs for impotence like Viagra). VITAMINS : They are classified according to their solubility in water to:- 1-FAT-SOLUBLE VITAMINS : They include Vitamin A, Vitamin D, Vitamin E, and Vitamin K. Therapeutic doses of these vitamins are kept for therapeutic indications as their lipid-solubility infers some risks; 1- They can be accumulated over a long period of administration of high doses and stored in the nuclei of the cells. 2- They act mostly like a hormone, their over dose can produce undesirable side effects. The anti-oxidant properties of some of them make them to be incorporated in some antioxidant preparations, yet the use of these preparation should include some periods of rest. Other alternatives with similar structure and antioxidant effect include: * Beta-Carotene; the vitamin A precursor of plant origin. It has no effect of vitamin A effects and should be converted in the body into vitamin A, but it is a potent antioxidant and can be used for this purpose. It is present in the orange, yellow and green vegetables and fruits( Carrots-Sweet potatoes-Cantaloupe-Apricot-Pink Grape fruit..). * Wheat-Germ oil is a rich source of vitamin E,as well as some other fruit oils. It is of great value to the skin. 2- WATER-SOLUBLE VITAMINS : One of the most widely distributed group of nutrients in nature and in the body. There is no problem of its use in amounts many times higher than its recommended dosage and for any period of time, as long as it is economic, since the surplus amounts are excreted in the urine. As a group they represent the most important accessories of metabolism. Some of them in high doses are used to treat some disease (vitamin B6 in morning sickness in pregnant women is just one example). MINERALS : The best source is the pharmaceutical preparations which include them with vitamins. To summarize the American medical way, here are the 7 basic dietary guidelines presented to the US citizens by their Dept.of Agriculture and Dept.of Health & Human Resources: 1- Eat a variety of foods. 2- Maintain desirable weight. 3- Avoid too much fat, saturated fat and cholesterol. 4- Eat food with adequate starch and fibers. 5- Avoid too much sodium. 6- Avoid too much sugar. 7- If you drink alcoholic beverages, do so in moderation. I can add: Avoid unnecessary food extras. Waheed Elqalatawy writes simple scientific articles on health topics for any one who wants to expand his reading horizons about health.

Health insurance has many requirements and few requirements at the same time. There are many circumstances that may apply to this. A healthy person would easily qualify for health insurance, whereas someone with a medical condition or someone who has a history of certain medical conditions would find it very hard to find a health insurance company to cover him or her. The cost of health insurance also varies according to your degree of health and other conditions. A person’s life style would certainly be taken into consideration when qualifying for health insurance, for example a librarian would be much more qualified for health insurance than a race car driver. An insurance company is a business after all and are about making money, that’s why it will not want to qualify you for health insurance if they think that you are at you are at a risk of becoming seriously ill or in any type of health danger, for example smokers, or people who consume excessive amounts of alcohol would receive higher premiums. People with diseases such as cancer, AIDS, HIV, and other preexisting conditions would find it hard or nearly impossible to get health insurance. Another aspect that is considered when your application for health insurance is being processed is the area where you live. Places with environmental pollutants such as nuclear power plants, landfills, war torn areas and other places where factors in the environment may cause ill health will definitely drive your premium upwards. Age is another factor, for example a twenty year old person would get a very cost effective health insurance package whereas a seventy old person would get an equally or less valuable package for a much greater price. Gender is also a consideration because women generally tend to live longer than men, are less likely to develop heart disease and have lower levels of depression. Marital status is another key area in insurance as married men are apt to live longer with fewer bouts of depression whereas married women have shorter life expectancies and higher stress levels. All these factors are called risk factors and people who score on the high end of the scale may find it difficult to find affordable health insurance. However, great strides towards making health care available to everyone have been made and you may find an outreach program in your area that either gets you health care at a discount or provide it free of charge. The American system of Medicaid and COBRA are excellent examples of a health care system working to keep all its citizens healthy.

Teeth health begins with proper eating habits and not necessarily with the avoidance of sweets, including chocolate candy, candy cane, candy bar or hard candy, but the clue is getting the balance right. When it comes to choosing the food for your kids, consider sweet candy as part of their diet, teaching them to keep healthy teeth.
Caring for teeth requires your children brush their teeth twice a day, no matter if they eat chocolate candy or just other types of foods during the day. A Candy cane is not a tool to clean their teeth, as many kids believe playing with it in their mouth. Anyone who eats foods high in sugar is required to brush daily.
Sweet candy plays a part in tooth decay. The best way to keep smiling is using fluoride toothpastes. Help children develop a teeth brushing routine, limiting candy bars and hard candy intake during the day, and never after brushing their teeth at bedtime to avoid microorganisms working on their mouth by night.
The American Dental Association has animations and games online aimed to teach children how to brush and other fundamentals of oral health care. They teach kids to be aware of the damage that chocolate candy, candy cane, candy bar, hard candy and other sweet candy may cause in the long run if cleaning regularly is practiced.
The best way to encourage kids' dental hygiene is by providing them with flavored fluoride toothpaste to make brushing a more enjoyable experience. In fact, many dentists recommend changing the taste and appearance of toothpaste on a regular basis for better results.
Research has found children who like to brush twice each day, do it for longer periods of time when the toothpaste is flavored because they associate the taste with sweet candy. Appropriate brushing prevents gum disease, cavities and other dental health issues caused by the consumption of a candy bar or chewable hard candy.
Kid’s age 6 or less should brush using no more than a pea-sized dab of toothpaste to remove plaque. This simple action is enough to provide the necessary fluoride protection against chocolate candy, candy cane and regular food that is stuck to teeth during the day.
Healthy eating habits contribute to healthy teeth, because the snacks that kids eat are basically made of sweet candy, the more they eat the more risk of leading to formation of cavities. Limit your children's snacks is not a good idea because they need food for energy, but substituting candies for nutritious foods such as vegetables sticks are best.
Natalie Aranda writes on family, health and child education. Sweet candy plays a part in tooth decay. The best way to keep smiling is using fluoride toothpastes. Help children develop a teeth brushing routine, limiting candy bars and hard candy intake during the day, and never after brushing their teeth at bedtime to avoid microorganisms working on their mouth by night.
