Health / 10 Horrifying Secrets Doctors Will Never Tell You by HealthSmart: 12:31pm On Jan 03, 2020
As a modern culture, we tend to put our faith wholeheartedly in doctors. They’re the experts, and more often than not we take their advice without question. But what we don’t take into account is that many of these doctors either don’t have a clue or actively withhold information that could be putting your life in jeopardy.
And if you think that sounds sensationalist, take a look at these facts, facts that doctors know about but won't let it o as you sign the bill:




10. Cancer Isn’t Always Cancer

Cancer diagnosis . (Photo by Andrew Lichtenstein/Corbis via Getty Images)
The worst possible outcome of a trip to the doctor is a diagnosis of the Big C. We’re so terrified of it that even the word is taboo in some places, and the medical community lives by one maxim: early diagnosis. The earlier you find the cancer, the more easily you can treat it. But such enthusiasm can easily lead to false positives, and treating something that isn’t there can be dangerous.We’re not just making that up. Mammograms are famous for misdiagnosing breast cancer, since every little anomaly in the breast can look like a tumor. The most common misdiagnosis is with DCIS, or Ductal Carcinoma In Situ. Despite the “carcinoma” in there, DCIS isn’t really cancerous ; only rarely does it turn into cancer, and practically everyone with DCIS survives, no matter what kind of treatment they get.But when doctors quote cancer statistics, they usually lump in DCIS, which now accounts for about 30 percent of breast cancer “cases” in the US. And when faced with that option, most people choose to undergo “needless and sometimes disfiguring and harmful treatments” to get rid of something that, statistically, will do less harm than the treatments themselves.


9. High Blood Pressure Drugs Destroys Your Sexual Health

Your doctor will never tell you this, most of the people suffering from high blood pressure and uses the drugs prescribed by the doctor are killing their sexual health.
This secret is what doctors won't tell you, A man shared a story with us how he declined in his sexual performance badly, and we asked if he uses drugs for HBP and he replied, yes, ok we gave an advice to stop using the drugs and immediately he saw changed. He went away to sue the doctor for not informing him the drugs could cause this to him and how it has affected his marriage.




8. Prescription Drugs Can Cause Diabetes

Type 2 diabetes is caused when your body either doesn’t make enough insulin or can’t effectively use all the insulin it makes. The result is a buildup of glucose, or sugar, in the bloodstream, which starts damaging nerves and blood vessels over time. About 2.3 million Americans have type 2 diabetes, and the numbers rise every year.It turns out that some of the most commonly prescribed drugs, like antidepressants, might be causing it. In 2011, there were 46.7 million prescriptions given out to treat depression in the UK alone. When researchers at the University of Southampton looked at the numbers, they found that people who took two of the most common types of antidepressants, SSRIs and tricyclic antidepressants, were twice as likely to develop diabetes. And sure, those findings were released in 2013, but we’ve known about the link since 2008 and yet millions more are prescribed on a monthly basis.And it gets worse—some of the most common drugs used to treat ADHD in children can triple the risk of type 2 diabetes. More often than not, that’s a lifelong condition, and kids don’t even get the choice to refuse.

Nairaland / General / Beware!!! 7 Scary Things That Will Happen If The Sun Dies by HealthSmart: 8:30pm On Jan 02, 2020
The sun has a life span of about ten billion years, and we’re already heading toward five billion years in That brings up an important question: What exactly is going to happen once the Sun reaches its limit?

Ok, here are 10 things that will happen once the sun dies:
[img][/img]

7. The Greenhouse Effect Will Become Extremely Effective
[caption width="612"]The shining sun (image: Getty Images)[/caption]One of the first things that will happen once the Sun exhausts its hydrogen is that it will brighten a lot. The brighter the Sun gets, the more of its energy the Earth will receive. The gases in our atmosphere—such as carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide—work like a blanket and already hold in heat from our star, allowing the planet to support life. With the Sun working overtime, these gases will hold in more of its energy. The Earth will become extremely hot, causing water all over the world to evaporate and create a dense cloud in the atmosphere. This cloud will protect the Earth’s surface from the Sun’s radiation for a while. After enough time, though, the heat will become too much, and the oceans will start boiling. At this point, it will be no longer possible for life to exist on Earth. If we’re not dead by then, we would certainly die from lack of water and excessive heat.

6. The Sun Will Expand
[caption width="612"]The sun (image credit: Getty Images}[/caption]Not only will the Sun become much brighter, but it will also increase greatly in size. Once it uses up all of its fuel, it will move on to the next phase in its life cycle: the red giant phase. Even though it increases in size, the actual temperature of the red giant phase is lower, at just 2,000 to 3,000 degrees Celsius.[3] That may seem hot, but in comparison to the Sun’s usual surface temperature of roughly 5,000 to 9,000 degrees Celsius, it is definitely cooler.Although this is how the Sun’s demise will occur, it is not true for all stars. Smaller stars, known as red dwarfs, are so weak that they simply go out once they use up their fuel (though they last much longer than other stars). On the other hand, blue and white giants are so big that they’ll fuse heavier elements until they develop an iron core. After that, they go supernova.

[img][/img]

5. . . And Then It Will Shrink
[caption width="612"]The sun (image credit: Getty Images}[/caption]Over time, the Sun will continue to change. When it’s through fusing helium, it won’t be able to do the same with the carbon, and it will finally shrink to a white dwarf. This phase is much smaller than the size of the original Sun.White dwarfs have much less energy, but what they do have is longevity.These star remnants continue shining on for billions and billions of years, until at some point, far in the future, they turn into dead black dwarfs. It is impossible to know exactly how long this process will take, because astronomers currently believe that the universe isn’t even old enough yet for any black dwarfs to have formed!

Devil have deceived and hidden enough from us for thousands of years and these are so important, Thank God for revealing to us through his servants from around the world read carefully and understand,

1. Devil Don't Want You To Know About The Power In You
In the Bible, Luke 10:19 specifically, "God says he have given us the power to tread upon serpents and scorpions and he said in psalm 91 thousands may fall at our sides but will not harm us. This is God telling us in the Bible the power he bestowed upon we humans. Bit unfortunately the devil don't want us to know that and have made us fear and even afraid of him !! Yeah he is so wise and deceived most humans.

2. The Devil Don't Want You To Know Christmas Is Nonsense
When I hear the devil is wise and I see people say it even pastors i smile because I can see how he displayed his great wisdom by deceiving billions of people in celebrating a strange thing not Jesus. Jesus birth is not mentioned in the Bible and during his birth as written in the Bible no snow or cold weather that period, so Christmas is not the celebration of Jesus Christ but of a strange Greek God and December 5th is neither mentioned in the Bible.

To use a penis pump:

1. Place your penis inside the air-filled chamber.

Nairaland / General / Whatsapp, Instagram, Facebook May Be Banned Soon See SHOCKING Reason. by HealthSmart: 7:51pm On Dec 09, 2019
Germany’s national competition regulator, The Bundeskartellamt, or Federal Cartel Office (FCO), has ordered Facebook to stop combining user data from different sources without voluntary consent. The order applies to data collected by Facebook-owned platforms like WhatsApp and Instagram, but also third-party sources that Facebook uses to flesh out its advertising profiles, including those of non-users ( The Verge).

Facebook's data violation practice has come under intense criticism from privacy campaigners and users who argue that it amounts to Facebook following them around the internet without their consent or even their knowledge (The Independent).

Facebook's continued privacy invasion has roused concerns from top Governments, including the USA, and the US Senate has invited Zuckerberg to defend Facebook's privacy invasions at different times.
As if this was not enough, Blackberry also sued Facebook for Patent violations.

Blackberry dragged Facebook to court over WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, and Instagram. Blackberry claims that these apps are infringing its patent. The preliminary verdict of the court is in favour of Blackberry. In its current form, Facebook may no longer offer some of its own apps, including WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, and Instagram in Germany.

Facebook continues to face hard times and may either be restricted from operating in Germany, or banned altogether. This may encourage a chain of bans across other countries especially in Europe, and the USA.

Health / Stomach Cancer Is A Silent Killer! Here Are The Signs And Symptoms by HealthSmart: 8:08am On Dec 08, 2019
Stomach cancer, also known as gastric cancer, is a cancer that develops from the lining of the stomach. It can may spread from the stomach to other parts of the body, particularly the liver, lungs, bones, lining of the abdomen and lymph nodes.

In the United States, five-year survival is 28%,while in South Korea it is over 65%, partly due to screening efforts.

Globally, stomach cancer is the fifth leading type of cancer and the third leading cause of death from cancer, making up 7% of cases and 9% of deaths.

In 2012, it newly occurred in 950,000 people and caused 723,000 deaths.

The cause is believed to be due to the eating of less salted and pickled foods as a result of the development of refrigeration as a method of keeping food fresh.

Stomach cancer occurs most commonly in East Asia and Eastern Europe and it occurs twice as often in males as in females.
Symptoms Of Cancer
These may include :
heartburn, upper abdominal pain, nausea and loss of appetite.
Later signs and symptoms may include:
weight loss,
yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes,
difficulty swallowing and blood in the stool among others.

a sensation of being very full during meals
feeling bloated after meals
frequent burping
heartburn
indigestion that does not resolve
stomach ache
pain in the breastbone
trapped wind
vomiting, which may contain blood.

However, many of these symptoms are very similar to those of other, less serious conditions. However, anyone with an increased risk for stomach cancer who experiences swallowing difficulties should seek prompt medical treatment.

As the stomach cancer becomes more advanced, some people might experience the following symptoms:
anemia
a buildup of fluid in the stomach, which may cause the stomach to feel lumpy to the touch
black stools that contain blood

Nairaland / General / I Am No Longer A Virgin Says A 10yr Old Girl by HealthSmart: 7:28am On Dec 08, 2019
The family was at the dining table. The little 10-year-old girl wasn't eating and had her nose in her plate….

After a few moments, she said, “I’have
something to tell you people”

Silence around the table.

“I’m no longer a virgin”, and she begins to cry.

A long silence again.
And then, the father angrily and screamed at his wife, “It’s your fault! Always dressed and make up like a
prostitute!

Do you think you are setting a good example for your daughter? You see now? That’s how problems arrive”.

The wife, in turn yelled at her husband: “What about you? Are you setting a good example?

Health / 5 Early Symptoms Of Cancer In Men!! All Men Should Know by HealthSmart: 2:47am On Dec 08, 2019
Knowing early symptoms of cancer can help you seek treatment sooner to better your chances of remission. This article is really important so read carefully to the end.

Here are5 early symptoms of cancer in men:
1.Blood in your pee or stool
One of the best ways to fight the disease is to catch it in the early stages when it’s more treatable. The problem is that the warning signs for many kinds of cancer can seem pretty mild.
Blood in your pee or stool
It is very important to visit the doctor when you notice blood in your pee or stool because it could be first signs of cancer of the bladder, kidneys, or colon. Although you're more likely to have a problem that's not cancer, like hemorrhoids or a urinary infection, it's important to treat it at the early stages.
2.Urinary changes
Urinary changes may develop as you age but certain symptoms may indicate prostate cancer. Prostate cancer is most common in men ages 60 and older.
Common urinary symptoms include:
Urinary leaks
Incontinence
An inability to urinate despite urges to go
Delayed urination
Straining during urination
3.Persistent back pain
Back pain may be a symptom of cancer. Symptoms of cancer may not show until it has spread to other parts of your body, such as the bones of your spine. For example, prostate cancer is especially prone to spread to the bones and may cause these symptoms within your hip bones and lower back.

Unlike occasional muscle pain, cancer of the bone causes tenderness and discomfort in your bones.
4.Unusual coughing
A persistent cough is an early sign of lung cancer. If you don’t have any other related symptoms, such as a stuffy nose or fever, the cough probably isn’t due to a virus or infection.

Coughing accompanied with bloody mucus is also associated with lung cancer in men.
5.Changes in your testicles
"If you notice a lump, heaviness, or any other change in your testicle, never delay having it looked at," says Herbert Lepor, MD, urology chairman at New York University Langone Medical Center.

"Unlike prostate cancer, which grows slowly, testicular cancer can take off overnight." Your doctor will look for any problems with a physical exam, blood tests, and an ultrasound of your scrotum.

Health / What To Know About Lung Cancer by HealthSmart: 1:23pm On Dec 07, 2019
Lung cancer is a condition that causes cells to divide in the lungs uncontrollably. This causes the growth of tumors that reduce a person's ability to breathe.

According to the Centers for Disease Control, 218,527 people in the United States received a lung cancer diagnosis in 2015. Early diagnosis can help a person seek treatment, as early as possible, in the disease's course.

Identifying lung cancer in its earliest stages can be difficult, however, because the symptoms may be similar to those of a respiratory infection, or there may be no symptoms at all.

In this article, we explain the nature of lung cancer, how to recognize the symptoms, and the ways doctors treat lung cancer before it becomes life-threatening.

What is lung cancer?
Lung cancer causes mutations in cells.
Cancer causes certain mutations in otherwise healthy cells.

Typically, the body programs cells to die at a certain stage in their life cycle to avoid overgrowth. Cancer overrides this instruction, causing cells to grow and multiply when they should not.

The overgrowth of cells leads to the development of tumors and the harmful effects of cancer.

In lung cancer, this pattern of cell overgrowth occurs in the lungs, which are vital organs for breathing and gas exchange.

Doctors typically diagnose two lung cancer types, small cell and non-small cell, depending on how they appear under a microscope. A person is more likely to have non-small cell lung cancer than small cell.

While anyone can develop lung cancer, cigarette smoking and exposure to smoke can increase the likelihood that a person will experience the condition. Lung cancer can develop if a person has a history of exposure to inhaled chemicals or other toxins.

Even if this exposure to chemicals and other toxins was a long time ago, it could cause changes in lung cells that lead to cancer.

Symptoms
In people with lung cancer, symptoms do not always occur until the condition has reached a later stage.

However, some people may notice symptoms, which they may think are related to a less serious, acute illness.

Examples of these symptoms include:

appetite loss
changes to a person's voice, such as hoarseness
frequent chest infections, such as bronchitis or pneumonia
lingering cough that may start to get worse
shortness of breath
unexplained headaches
weight loss
wheezing
A person may also experience more severe symptoms associated with lung cancer. These include severe chest or bone pain or coughing up blood.
