As mentioned in previous works Osteomyelitis can cause back pain, yet back pain is also caused from SLE, or Systemic lupus Erythematosus.

Osteomyelitis causes back pain, since the disease merges a bacterial infection that spreads to the soft tissues and bones. Infections, open trauma, staphylococcus aureus, and hemolytic streptococcus are linking causes of Osteomyelitis.

Staphylococcus aureus is a bacterium that occurs in clusters that resemble grapes. The bacteria typically inhabit the skin and the mucous membrane, which causes the disease Osteomyelitis. Hemolytic is the ruin or damage of blood cells, such as the red cells.

Congestive heart failure, otherwise known as CHF, is a condition in which the heart function is inadequate. The function of the heart is to pump and deliver oxygen contained in the blood to the remainder of the body. When individuals suffer from congestive heart failure the strength of the heart muscle has been compromised and they are no longer able to pump blood effectively and efficiently around the body.

In order to have a good understanding of congestive heart failure it helps to know how the heart works. The heart is broken up …

There is a rare and very serious blood disorder called, “Aplastic Anemia”. It occurs when the bone marrow stops manufacturing new blood cells. These blood cells are called, “stem cells”. Stem cells consist of platelets, white blood cells and red blood cells. Each of these different types of blood cells has a unique function within the body. The body needs the bone marrow to make new blood cells consistently because cells do not live forever. The red blood cells live about 120 days, the platelets live about 6 days and the white blood cells only …

High blood pressure is also called hypertension. This is a medical term which, by definition, means an individual has a numerical measurement of pressure that is greater than 140/90. These numbers represent a systolic pressure greater than 140 mm of mercury and a diastolic pressure greater than 90 mm of mercury.

Chronic hypertension has often been called the silent killer because it has little to no signs and symptoms and will not be picked up unless an individual is screened with a blood-pressure measurement.

I can remember my dad telling me time after time about his mother’s devotion to castor oil when he was growing up. At the first sign of any illness in one child, she would immediately give all the children a quick oral dose of castor oil.

There’s no doubt it provided a quick solution for constipation, and from what I can tell, it must have a positive effect on memory too. My dad can vividly remember …
