2. Psychotherapy: a psychotherapist will use in-depth approach to find the cause and give suggestions on how the ways that can be done to overcome them.
3. Cognitive behavioral therapy (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy / CBT) is a counseling that will explore thoughts, feelings and behavior of a person in order to develop ways to praktif effective against phobias.
Self-exposure therapy (Desensitisation).
People who have simple phobias can be treated by using a form of behavioral therapy known as exposure therapy themselves. This therapy is done in stages over a period of time involving the object or situation that made him afraid. Gradually a person will begin to feel less anxious or afraid anymore about it. Sometimes combined with medication and behavior therapy.

1. Antidepressants: These drugs are often prescribed to reduce anxiety, their use allowed to overcome the phobia related to the social (social phobia).
2. Tranquilizers: typically use derivatives containing drugs Benzodiazepines. These drugs can be used to treat severe anxiety, but the doses used should be as low as possible and use the shortest possible maximum of 4 weeks. This is because drug addiction is related effects.
3. Beta-blockers: These drugs are usually used to treat problems associated with cardiovascular disease, such as heart problems and high blood pressure (hypertension). Because it is useful to reduce the anxiety that accompanied the irregular heartbeat.
Can mobile phone radiation medicine Alzheimer's Patients???
Disease December 20th, 2009
electromagnetic waves from cell phones (mobile phone) can prevent even alleged cure of diseases forgetting someone very frightening memories, namely Alzheimer’s disease.
Researchers concluded that because it was proved in laboratory mice. Normal mice that received exposure to electromagnetic waves in the long term it can avoid even rats with Alzheimer’s disease that was gradually improved.
In the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease, researchers say the findings are possible techniques applied to electromagnetic waves in the treatment of disease affecting 5.3 million people in the United States.
Previous studies have connected between the electromagnetic waves or Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs) emitted by mobile phones of several diseases such as brain tumors, cancer and others. But with this latest study, researchers increasingly believe cell phone radiation is not dangerous, but actually useful.
In his study, Gary Arendash and other expert team of the Florida Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center, University of South Florida, Tampa, studied mice that are genetically have Alzheimer’s disease gene. Every day, the mice were given one hour session of exposure to electromagnetic waves. This was done for 7 to 9 months.
The result, Alzheimer’s disease did not develop in mice that have Alzheimer’s gene, while mice that already have Alzheimer’s disease showed increased cognitive ability in his brain.
The scientists suspected emission of electromagnetic waves can destroy beta-amyloid plaque protein, namely the foreign proteins found in Alzheimer’s brain and believed to be the cause of decreased ability to recall and other brain functions.
The researchers also hypothesize that the increase in temperature due to EMF waves emitted is the cause of the destruction of foreign proteins in the brain.
“Waves are working with the two ways of destroying beta-amyloid protein plaques. First, EMF waves will activate the brain cells and eventually suppress the formation of the aggregate (collection) amyloid beta protein. Second, the protein is moved from the brain through the blood vessels,” explained Dr. Michael Palm, a professor of neuroscience and experimental Therapeutics and internal medicine from Texas A & M Health Science Center College of Medicine in College Station.
Although these studies successfully in mice, but many are not sure the results will be equally effective in humans because of differences in mouse and human brains.
In addition, many people are still worried about cell phone radiation mentioned can cause brain tumors, testicular cancer, eye, salivary glands and other diseases.
Vaccines for cancer cells
Cancer December 12th, 2009
cancer treatment still leaves some cancer cells in the body that are not killed. Now there is a vaccine to eliminate cancer cells that remained in the patients, especially chronic myeloid leukemia (chronic myeloid leukemia / CML).
This vaccine can help some patients with CML who took the drug Gleevec. But the researchers revealed that the results of this research is still tentative or not yet reached the final.
This research is funded by the National Institutes of Health and led by Dr. Hyam Levitsky, a professor yaiu oncology, medicine and urology from the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center in Baltimore, Maryland. The results of this research has appeared in the journal Clinical Cancer Research.
Gleevec drug marketed by Novartis as Gleevec in the U.S. and Glivec in Europe and Australia, is one of the targeted cancer drugs successfully treat patients with CML.
These drugs are destroying most of the cancer cells, but for certain patients the cancer cells can still be detected by using a sensitive molecular test. The remaining cancer cells can cause the growth of the cancer returning.
Researchers explain the majority of patients with CML in the Gleevec should consume most of his life, although approximately 90 percent of patients get relief. But about 10-15 percent of patients can not tolerate for long-term use.
Levitsky disclose this vaccine is made to shine CML cells that do not turn into cancer. After that change the genetic material of these cells to produce immune system stimulators known as GM-CSF (granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor) is a substance that can help make white blood cells a particular type.
These cells will also carry antigens that would destroy the CML cells are still circulating in the body. Researchers involving 19 CML patients who were given the vaccine. All patients measured by its level of CML cells and have been taking Gleevec for more than 12 months. Patients are given the vaccine with 4 times the chance of 10 shots in every opportunity.
Cells acquired the remaining cancer has decreased, ie 12 patients found to reach the lowest levels of the cancer cells remaining, and 7 other people is not detected at all remaining cancer cells in the body.
But the researchers realized that the study is still limited, such as the limited number of patients and the lack of comparison with other therapies.
Because it still needs further research to ensure that this vaccine can actually lower the cancer cells that remain. The test was conducted also show side effects such as pain at the injection site, swelling, sometimes pain in the muscles and a mild fever.

No Comments Secret Life Health and Longevity World Oldest Man
Health Tips December 1st, 2009
Montana, Walter Breuning was recorded as the oldest man in the world by reaching the age of 113 years in September 2009. Breuning was no secret and tips on healthy living is enviable. What’s that?
The man from Great Falls, United States says that the secret of life is healthy eating. He said he only ate 2 meals a day throughout his life. “I always get rid of the food if it has been 2 times to eat, although still hungry,” Breuning said as reported by USA Today, Thursday (1/10/2009).
With a 62.5-kg weight at the moment, Breuning always limit his food portions, both breakfast and lunch. He never ate anything at night. “My weight is still equal to the weight for 35 years,” Breuning said.
His efforts to not eat the night started when he first moved from Minneapolis to the Great Fall in 1978. He lived in an apartment and had to come down the stairs each will eat. In 1980, Breuning was asked to become manager at a hotel. There he could get any food he liked.
Initially, Breuning always woke up at 6:15 in the morning and breakfast with large portions. He did this for 15 years. “I can eat whatever I want, like a private restaurant,” says Breuning. But after that, he was limiting his food 2 times a day and no dinner.
But because Breuning always sent a package of fruit, he was forced to eat many servings of fruit. He also often consume a lot of water. One more thing, he would never be taking any medications. The only medication he was taking aspirin, but it was only once.
“I always drink water every time, half a cup of coffee at breakfast and half again at lunch,” Breuning said.
Breuning felt he always lived in good health throughout his life and believes that a diet factor is very influential on health. “If only people could manage his diet, they would remain healthy. The people who are sick are those who eat too much,” Breuning said.
In addition to diet and adjust your diet, Breuning also claimed that the secret of healthy living and longevity is hard work. Although this vision began to blur, but he let his brain continued to be active by listening to the news or the sources of knowledge from the radio or television.
Breuning served as manager of the 2 companies as well as to age 99 years. Breuning began habits to reduce meal portions and not eating since the night 35 years ago that since she was 78 years old. And since the same weight remained stable and he was never exposed to any disease.
“Once you get used not to eat excessive, I believe the future will be healthier. Avoid eating out as a restaurant and eat better at home,” said a man who had a favorite lunch menu is beef liver and garlic.
