Salivary Gland Cancer

DEFINITION
Salivary Gland Cancer or salivary gland cancer is cancer that begins in the salivary glands. This cancer can occur anywhere in the salivary glands, as in the mouth, neck or throat.

The salivary glands produce saliva, which helps digestion and keep the mouth clean. There are three major ludar glands under and behind the jaw - parotid, sublingual, and submandibular. As well as several minor salivary glands in the lips, cheeks and behind in the mouth and throat.


Salivary gland cancer is most common in the parotid gland in the front area of ​​the ear. Treatment for salivary gland cancer may include surgery or radiation therapy is and chemotherapy.

SYMPTOMS
Signs and symptoms of salivary gland cancer include:
  • Lump or swelling in the jaw, neck or mouth
  • Stiffness in the face
  • Muscle weakness on one side of the face
  • Pain in the area of ​​salivary gland
  • It's hard to swallow
  • It's hard to open the mouth wide
Causes & Risk Factors
Cause

It is not clear what causes salivary gland cancer. Doctors believe the cancer occurs when genetic mutations occur that cause salivary gland cells continue to grow and multiply themselves when normal cells should die. Accumulation of these cells then form a tumor and can spread to other body areas.

Many types of salivary gland cancer include:
  • Acinic cell carcinoma
  • Adenocarcinoma
  • Adenoid cystic carcinoma
  • Clear cell carcinoma
  • Malignant mixed tumor
  • Mucoepidermoid carcinoma
  • Oncocytic carcinoma
  • Polymorphous low-grade adenocarcinoma
  • Salivary duct carcinoma
  • Squamous cell carcinoma
Risk factors

Factors that may increase the risk of salivary gland cancer include:
  • Although salivary gland cancer can occur at any age, but most cases occur in the elderly
  • Exposed to the radiation used to treat head and neck cancer
  • Working in a polluted environment of certain substances, such as nickel and silica dust.

Throat Cancer

DEFINITION
Throat cancer is cancer found in the throat or vocal cords. Throat is a channel that starts from the back of the nose and ends at the neck. Vocal cords are located just under the throat.

Vocal cords are composed of cartilage membrane that vibrates to the sound makes the sound when you speak. Throat cancer can also occur in the epiglottis cartilage that serves as a cover to funnel wind down your throat.


SYMPTOMS
Signs and symptoms of throat cancer include:

• Cough
• Changes in voice
• It is hard to swallow
• Pain in the ear
• A lump that can not be cured
• Lump in the throat
• Weight loss

Causes & Risk Factors
Cause
Throat cancer occurs when cells in the throat of a genetic mutation. This mutation causes the cells to grow out of control and go on living after normal cells die. Accumulation of these cells can form tumors in the throat.

It is unclear what causes throat cancer. But doctors have to know what factors can increase the risk.

This type of throat cancer include:
  • Nasopharyngeal cancer occurs in the nasopharynx - the throat behind the ear.
  • Oropharyngeal cancer occurs in the oropharynx - the throat behind the mouth.
  • Hypopharyngeal cancer (laryngopharyngeal cancer) occurred in the hypopharynx (laryngopharynx) - the bottom of the throat, just above the esophagus and wind channels.
  • Glottic cancer occurs in membrane noise
  • Supraglottic cancer occurs at the top of the larynx and includes cancer that attacks the epiglottis, where most of the cartilage that holds the food into the throat.
  • Subglottic cancer occurs in the bottom of the vocal cords, below the membrane noise.
Risk factors

Factors that may increase the risk of throat cancer include:
• Smoking and chewing tobacco
• Use of excessive alcohol
• Lack of dental hygiene
• HPV Virus
• Foods low in fruits and vegetables
• Exposure to asbestos fibers

Prevention
There is no way to prevent throat cancer occurs. But you can reduce risk by:
  • No smoking
  • Not consume alcohol
  • Eating fruits and vegetables
  • Use of personal protective chemicals in the environment

Thyroid Cancer

DEFINITION
Thyroid cancer occurs in cells of the thyroid gland (an organ shaped like a butterfly is located at the base of the neck), which serves to produce hormones to regulate the heart beat rate, blood pressure, body temperature and weight.

SYMPTOMS
Thyroid cancer usually does not cause any signs and symptoms early. Along with its growth, the patient will feel:


• A lump can be felt under the skin of the neck
• Changes in voice, including hoarseness
• It is hard to swallow
• Pain in the neck or throat
• Swollen lymph nodes in the neck

Causes & Risk Factors
Cause
It is not clear what causes thyroid cancer. Doctors believe the cancer occurs when genetic mutations occur in cells in the thyroid which causes it to continue to grow and multiply themselves when normal cells should die. Accumulation of these cells then form a tumor and can spread to other body areas.

This type of thyroid cancer include:
  • Papillary thyroid cancer. It is the most common type. Generally occur in those aged between 30 to 50 years.
  • Follicular thyroid cancer. Generally occur in those aged over 50 years.
  • Medullary thyroid cancer. Associated with genetic syndromes, including derivatives that are also another gland tumor. This type of cancer is also much that is sporadic, the syndrome is not associated with genetic inheritance.
  • Anaplastic thyroid cancer. It is a malignant type of thyroid cancer, treatment is difficult and very rare happening. This type of cancer usually occurs in those aged 60 years and over.
  • Thyroid lymphoma. This cancer starts from cells of the immune system of the thyroid. This rare type of cancer most often strikes occur and those aged 70 years and over.
Risk factors
Some factors that increase the risk of thyroid cancer include:
  • Exposed to high levels of radiation
  • Personal or family records with goiter (enlarged thyroid gland)
  • Certain congenital genetic syndromes, such as familial medullary thyroid cancer, multiple endocrine neoplasia and familial adenomatous polyposis.
Prevention

The experts are not sure what causes thyroid cancer. Therefore there is no way to prevent thyroid cancer. But in those at high risk of thyroid cancer will probably require surgery (prophylactic thyroidectomy) for cancer prevention.

Acne (Pimples)

DEFINITION
Acne, facial blemishes, pimples, or whatever you call it, can be a source of suffering and interfere with your confidence. Injuries caused by acne can be healed slowly, and when one of them began to overcome another pimple will arise.
Hormones can be a cause of acne is a lot of things happen in adolescence. But basically everyone at all age levels can have acne. Some adult women have acne because of hormones that occurs when the period of pregnancy, menstrual cycle, or when starting or stops taking birth control pills.




SYMPTOMS
Acne can grow on the face, neck, chest, back and shoulders, depending on which area of ​​high oil production. Acne can be shaped as follows:
  • Blackheads (white or black)
    Occur if the pores are closed and deadlocked due to oil, dead skin cells and sometimes by bacteria.
  • Papules
    Is a blemish on the skin surface arise due to inflammation and infection in the pores. Papules may be redness on the skin smooth.
  • Postules
    A red stain that arise on the skin surface and there is pus in the end.
  • Nodules
    Is a large stain, hard, painful lumps under the skin surface. These bumps are formed by piles of blocked sweat or oil.
  • Cyst
    Cyst feels sore and a lump of pus under the skin surface. Will make it boils infection that can damage the skin.

Causes & Risk Factors
Cause

There are three factors that cause acne:
  1. Excess oil production
  2. Excessive dead skin cells will cause irritation to the pores.
  3. Growth of bacteria on the skin
Acne occurs when skin pores clogged by oil and dead skin cells. This blockage can cause a bulge in the pores and blackheads that become white. Alternatively, the blockage can be open at the skin surface and darken and become blackheads are black.

Acne will cause red dots with white centers that grew when clogged pores inflamed and infected. Closure and this inflammation occurs in the pores of the skin that produces lumps under the skin surface is called with a cyst.

It is not known what caused the increase in oil production that causes acne. But some things - hormones, bacteria, certain medical treatments and heredity - play a role.

Acne is not caused by dirt. In fact, scrubbing the skin too hard or cleansing with harsh soaps or other chemicals will irritate the skin and can cause acne to get worse. Skin cleansing is simply to remove oil and dead skin cells is needed.

Risk factors

Hormonal changes in the body can trigger or worsen acne. These changes usually occur on:
  • Adolescents, both male and female
  • Women and girls, in two to seven days before the menstrual period
  • Pregnant women
  • People who use certain medical treatments, including the cortisone
Other risk factors included were:
  • Direct use of substances containing oil on the skin, or the use of certain cosmetics directly to the skin.
  • Note in the family - if your parents had acne, then chances are you will also have acne.
  • Friction or pressure on the face caused by a variety of objects, such as telephone or mobile phones, helmets, tight collars and backpacks.
Prevention

When you experience acne improved or lost, you can continue with medical treatment or other treatment to prevent new acne. Ask your doctor about how you can prevent new acne. You can also prevent new acne self-care measures such as cleaning your skin with a gentle cleanser and avoid touching the affected areas.
Other tips to prevent acne are:
  • Clean the area of ​​skin that have acne tendencies will occur two times a day. Cleaning will remove excess skin oil and dead skin cells. But if too much can make skin irritation. Clean the skin with a gentle cleanser and use the free of oil content. Use skin care products are water based.
  • Use the-counter acne creams or gels to help keep dry skin from excess oil. Use products that contain benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid as active ingredients.
  • Avoid heavy foundation makeup. Use as a cosmetic cream base before the cosmetic powder used.
  • Clean makeup before bed. Sleep with cosmetics that are still attached to the skin can clog pores. Make sure to not use the old cosmetic cosmetics clean your equipment regularly with soapy water.
  • Avoid tight clothing. Tight clothing can store heat and moisture and can cause skin irritation. Avoid string / rubber, backpacks, helmets or sports equipment to prevent pressure on the tight skin.
  • Take a bath after exercise or after doing heavy work. Oil and sweat on the skin can withstand dirt and bacteria.

Evidence of Efficacy of Lab - Virus HIV / AIDS (discussed in Poster Magazine)

Who does not shudder to hear the word AIDS - the immune system caused by HIV infection of human immunodeficiency virus that triggered the emergence of various diseases? According to the World Health Organization (WHO), approximately 2-million people worldwide died of AIDS during 2008. That number may go down if people with AIDS to know propolis.

Propolis is not yet clinically proven to address HIV. However, based on research in vitro - in the lab - conducted by researchers from the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, United States, propolis has the potential to enhance the immune system of HIV / AIDS. The research team thought that antiviral substances contained in propolis inhibit virus entry into CD4 + lymphocytes.

Propolis dose of 66.6? G / ml in cell cultures of CD4 + - T cells in the immune system that has a CD4 receptor to inhibit the expression of the HIV virus up to 85%. Typically in people with HIV / AIDS, the deadly virus infects CD4 cells and destroying bereseptor. Hence, the number of air-CD4 cells in people with HIV / AIDS fall far below normal. In healthy people, numbering around 500 - 1.500/mm3 blood.

Severe disease

Based on research in and outside the country, propolis was proven effective against several serious diseases. Dr. Dr. Eko Budi Koendhori MKes, from the Department of Microbiology, Faculty of Medicine, University of Airlangga (FK UNAIR), for example, prove the bee glue that helps reduce damage to lung tissue in mice infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis - bacteria that cause tuberculosis (TB).

Of 100 mice infected M. tuberculosis, mice given the combination Isoniasid - antituberculosis drug - 25 mg / kg body weight and propolis showed elevated levels of interferon γ. Interferon γ plays activate macrophage cells that kill TB bacteria. Mice were given only Isoniasid increased lung damage from week 5 to-12. While the lungs of mice given conditions Isoniasid and propolis 800 mg dose at week 12 the same as in week-5.

Propolis served to increase the immunity of patients so that tissue damage can be suppressed. Standard medications work directly attacking the tuberculosis bacterium. Well, the combination of drugs and propolis kill the TB bacteria while reducing the lung damage caused by bacterial attack. "Propolis is great to boost the immune system. In addition, I expect to have anticancer abilities, "said Eko.

Cancer

Alleged Eko did not miss. Based on research conducted in the laboratory of Integrated Testing and Research (LPT) UGM, the studied propolis products can inhibit cancer cells HeLa (cervical cancer), Siha (uterus cancer cells), and T47D and MCF7 (breast cancer cells) with IC50 values ​​ranging 20-41 ug / ml. That is, propolis dose of 20-41 mg / ml can inhibit the activity of 50% of cancer cells in culture.

That is in line with research dr Woro Pratiwi MKes SpPD, from the Faculty of Medicine, University of Gadjah Mada (UGM). Propolis is given for 1 month to have anticancer effects in living organisms. Is indicated by a decrease in the number of tumor nodules or bumps and decrease in proliferation activity - a doubling - mammary gland tumor cells in mice. However, the effect is still lower than in mice fed a standard cancer drug, doxorubicin. 'So, need to be assessed using standardized propolis with anticancer drugs for optimal therapeutic effect and minimal side effects, "said Woro.

Polyphenols and flavonoids, some of the compounds contained in propolis, likely inhibit the proliferation of cancer cells. According to Dr. Edy Meiyanto of the Faculty of Pharmacy UGM, usually has the typical structure of flavonoids that can inhibit protein kinase that is used for cell proliferation. If the protein kinase is inhibited, cell physiological processes that were inhibited cell apoptosis alias to make the suicide program.

'Flavonoid and polyphenol compounds present in the propolis also has antioxidant effects and antitrombositopenia,' says Prof Dr Mustafa MKes Apt of Pharmacology & Toxicology Section of the Faculty. Faculty research team show that tested propolis preparation can prevent a decrease in platelet counts in mice infected by Plasmodium berghei - a parasite that causes malaria in mammals other than humans. Optimal dose of 5 ml / kg body weight are also able to increase the number of erythrocytes up to 37% after 8 days of administration.

Safe

Other properties of propolis that has been proven through research that antimicrobial effects. Eko tests conducted in 2007 showed propolis capable of killing the 26 isolates of Staphylococcus aureus bacteria that cause infections of the skin and respiratory tract and gastrointestinal Escherichia coli penginfeksi. Propolis dose of 10% and 20% are able to kill the entire sample both types of bacteria.

A similar study by Dr. Jessie Pamudji at the School of Pharmacy, Institut Teknologi Bandung prove the antibacterial effect of propolis against S. aureus and Propionibacterium acnes - the source of acne. 'That's because propolis contains antimicrobial compounds that are the pinocembrin flavones, flavonols galangin, and kafeat acid,' said Jessie.

Most importantly, recent evidence suggests that propolis is safe even if consumed in the long run. According to Dra Mulyati Sarto, MSi of LPT UGM, the toxicity of propolis is very low. 'Mice were given propolis every day for 1 month with a normal dose, organ function and body condition remained good, no problem,' he said.

Normal dose is equivalent to 1 tablespoon of propolis dissolved in 50 ml of water for human consumption. Propolis is a new cause of death half the test animals at doses above 10,000 mg / kg body weight. If converted to a person weighing 60 kg, the dose was equivalent to the consumption of 0.6 kg of propolis every day. That is, the efficacy and safety of propolis has been shown.

Danger of Cocaine and Heroin Alcohol Defeat

LONDON, KOMPAS.com - A study says, result in a poorer alcohol worse than the other two types of harmful substances, like heroin and cocaine.

As published in the journal the Lancet, an expert on drugs in the UK who are members of the Independent Scientific Committee on Drugs (ISCD) has introduced a new method for measuring the adverse effects of drugs, both to individuals and society.


In his research report, Professor David Nutt of Imperial College London analyzed the alcohol worth mentioning as the most damaging substances in the world after taking into account the impact of individual and social tarhadap. After alcohol, other substances are the most destructive heroin and cocaine. The ecstasy was ranked eighth.

Professor Nutt wrote the study report along with other experts, like Dr. Leslie King, an adviser to the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction (EMCDDA), and Dr Lawrence Phillips of the London School of Economics and Political Science.

In the new method, Professor Nutt uses a method called multicriteria decision analysis (MCDA). The method was created nine criteria for harm to the individual, as well as the seven categories of adverse effects for society.

Categories of harm to the individual such as death, poor health care quality, impaired mental function, loss of friendship, and injury. The negative effect on social categories such as crime, environmental kerusaka, family conflict, and a decrease in community involvement.

Heroin, cocaine, crystal meth and was recorded as the most harmful substances for the individual, whereas alcohol, heroin, and cocaine are the substances most harmful to the social.

However, having taken into account its impact on individuals and society as a whole, alcohol is recorded three times more dangerous than cocaine or tobacco.

World Health Organization, WHO, estimates that the risks associated with alcohol use causes 2.5 million deaths each year from liver heart disease, traffic accidents, suicide, and cancer. This figure accounts for 3.8 percent of total deaths and was ranked third trigger risk of premature death and disability in the world.

Large buttocks sign a Healthy Heart

VIVAnews - Having a big butt rather than simply displaying the sexy impression. Recent studies have revealed that the deposition of fat in the buttocks and thighs can increase the life expectancy of the owner.

Based on studies carried out a number of health experts from the Mayo Clinic, in Rochester, Minnesota, the fat that accumulates at the base of the buttocks and upper legs actually reduce the risk of heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. Unlike the fat in the abdomen that increases the risk of these three diseases.


The research team led by Dr. Michael Jensen involving 28 men and women as participants. For eight weeks, they provide treatment and diet is the same on all the participants. They want to see growth in the body fat of participants.

The majority of participants had approximately 2.45 kg of fat in the upper body such as abdomen and chest. While at the bottom of the body such as buttocks, hips, and thighs approximately 1.5 kg. Measurements were made before and after 'quarantine period'.

In the present study revealed, there are differences in the fat cells that are wrapped around the upper and lower body. Fat cells in the lower body contains natural anti-inflammatory agent that can stop the clogging of arteries.

As quoted by the Daily Mail, Jensen said the findings challenged to find ways to increase the production of fat in the lower body without adding fat deposits in the upper body. "It's important to establish the body's protection and help prevent disease."

The findings, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences may be able to explain the benefits of having a pear-shaped body. (Pet)

Drs. MULYADI Nasir, 55 th-Jakarta, Hp. 0817 405 500

In my age who was 55 years old .. can not be protected from diseases caused by lifestyle

in the past. I suffered diseases such as heart disease; Enlargement of the heart vessels, I am a heavy smoker before. Finally with this disease doctor told me not to smoke and have regular check (RS supervision. Hope You) and lifetime drug consumption.

February 2009 ago a friend introduced me Melia Propolis. Because I really love the natural ingredients of propolis Melia I eat with pleasure. But the result is extraordinary, beyond my expectations before. I am not a doctor drug consumption, I now feel healthier and fitter ... Bonus of about Rp. 6 jt, - Make me a More Healthy Home is important if there are material benefits too tuh Steady ....

- Overcome Disease 30
- Proven By Science
Caskets and burial sites Tarsisius Sarbini was prepared. 61 years his condition deteriorated due to coronary heart disease. Doctors offer bypass surgery to address the bully's life executioners, but the family refused.


For couples and Sri Subekti Tarsisius Sarbini a teacher by profession, operating costs Rp150-millions that are very expensive. 'If I sell a house is also not solve the problem. I do not want to torment a child-wife, 'said Sarbini who smoke since 1970 and spent three packs per day from 1985 to 1995. Moreover, according to the treating physician the opportunity heal after surgery only 50%. Under conditions of surrender that a coffin was prepared.

There was no other option for Sri Subekti than have to bring my husband back home. On 5 September 2005 that they left the hospital in London and returned to Depok, West Java. Men born in Banyumas, Central Java, March 14, 1944 was just lying. The whole activity took place on the bed. Families like waiting for death bells Sarbini.

Defense of the city
Long before the recommended surgery, Sarbini working hard to find a cure. He is consumes a variety of herbs. Just to cite an example he regularly drank a glass of boiled leaves of Artocarpus altilis breadfruit tree. Consumption of 3 months old, yet also bring about change. He has also disciplined swallowing 9 types of prescription drugs three times a day, 7 blockages in the heart but not yet resolved.

A few days after arriving home, H Anwar, parents of students she educates, thrusting propolis. Sarbini was obedient and taking each of the 3 propolis capsules 3 times daily. Three types of drugs from the doctor - the same as in the previous consumption - he ingested 1 hour after ingestion of propolis. A week later, 65 year-old man felt his usefulness. 'I can walk 5 meters and a lifting bucket,' said Sarbini.

That's tremendous progress. Before, let alone walk, get up from bed even he could not. The original chest pain as the knife pierced, its intensity diminished. Frivolous wife and family just absurdly pleased. A month later he was feeling very fit. Trubus when found at his home on December 16, 2009, Sarbini looks dashing.

Its activity as a healthy walk in the morning and teaching in the afternoon to evening. In short the complaints that he had felt, disappeared altogether. Recovery does not he prove through medical examination. After his condition improved, the last 4 years have not been examined Sarbini heart because the cost is relatively expensive, reaching Rp25-millions.

According to Dr. Robert Hatibi in Jakarta Sarbini recovery of the heart due to blockage of blood vessels propolis ability to scavenge free radicals that erode the blockage. Blockage was caused by nicotine in cigarettes that thicken the walls of blood vessels in the heart. In addition to erode, "Propolis also keep and maintain the elasticity and capillarity the aorta and vena heart, 'said Hatibi.

Mummy
Sarbini consumed Propolis is a product produced by bees. That many farmed species is Apis cerana and Apis mellifera. Different from honey propolis, bee main product. There is honey in the hive hexagonal; propolis outside the nest. Artificial nest boxes on the form of wood, put the worker bees in the gap antarpapan propolis, frame, or close the nest.

Ir CH Hotnida MSi Siregar, a bee expert from Bogor Institute of Agriculture said the worker bee propolis processing of various materials such as leaf, the sap of plants, and plant a variety of skin such as acacia and pine. According Dolok Tinanda Haposan Sihombing, a bee expert from Bogor Agricultural University, propolis is a complex mixture of materials consisting of the night, resins, balsams, oils, and pollen.

The word propolis comes from the Greek: pro meaning before, polis meaning city. Cities in life it is a hotbed of social insects. Literally propolis significantly before reaching the city. For the benefit of bee propolis nest patching cracks, cover the hole, and disinfect the nest. 'City' has always bee propolis in a sterile condition thanks.

Hotnida said propolis is another function or mummify corpses wrapped pests that enter the hive. Thus propolis stops the growth and spread of bacteria, fungi, and viruses that spread disease and no nests remained sterile. Pests are wrapped with a durable and propolis was not bad because of propolis are antibacterial. Method that is imitated by the ancestors of the Egyptians to preserve bodies.

According to Ir Bambang Soekartiko, Bina Apiari owners, the quality of propolis depends on the source plant and manufacturing process. Plant sources of propolis in temperate countries such as Bulgaria, Korea, and Russia is the poplar tree Populus sp. Brazil has Bacharis dracunculifolia and Dalbergia sp respectively as sources of green and red propolis which has a high bioflavonoid. Brazil's famous as the main producer countries in the world propolis.

Its products are well-known high-grade green propolis because of the high content of bioflavonoids. Flavonoids are plant components that are as anticendawan materials, antibacterial, antiviral, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory. "In Indonesia there are no plant sources of propolis type of research is high bioflavonoid content, 'said Soekartiko (read: A Secret in the nest page 25).

Dirt?
The color of propolis varied, although generally dark brown. However, it is sometimes found also in green propolis, red, black, even white depending on the source of resin. Propolis production is relatively small, 20 grams a year from 200,000 bees. Because dark colors tend to assume that many beekeepers propolis as dirt.

Moreover, the farmers were also not yet know the properties of propolis. Therefore, they would throw propolis from the hive because they think dirty. In fact, for harvested propolis, is relatively easy. Breeders are carefully scrape and extract it (read: The key to the Solvent page 20). Well, because farmers rarely glimpsed, then the use of propolis for health less popular than other bee products like honey and royal jelly. Beekeepers in the United States also consider propolis as a nuisance. Propolis is attached in the hands, clothing, and shoes when the weather turns hot and hard and crusty when cold.

In fact, the price of propolis is far more expensive than honey. Currently in Indonesia the price of propolis at the farmer level reached Rp700.000; honey, Rp35.000 per kg. Only in the late 1990s ogled propolis as an ingredient when the Japanese nutritious bee glue for health research. Takagi Y from the Suzuka University Medical School prove the efficacy of propolis increases the body's immune system. Other research from the University of Japan proved that propolis reduces the risk of tooth pain. Of scientific evidence that the use of propolis famous in Japan.

According Hotnida use of propolis in Indonesia also affected the results of research in Japan. Vibrant communities in Indonesia uses bee glue propolis alias in the last 2 years. Since the presence of several manufacturers and distributors such as Queen PT Nusantara, CV Cahya Prosperous, PT Melianature Indonesia and PT Indonesia High Dessert. In the market there are now a variety of propolis-based products such as propolis capsules of pure, pure propolis liquid, propolis and honey and mix.

Scientific research
Along with the trend of utilization of propolis, the researchers tested the bees glue it scientifically. Dra Mulyati MSi Sarto, researchers at the Faculty of Biology, University of Gadjah Mada University, proved that propolis is safe to eat. In preclinical testing, proving Mulyati LD50 propolis reached over 10,000 mg. LD50 is the lethal dose of a lethal dosage aka half of experimental animals.

If converted, the dose was equivalent to 7 ounces for human consumption once weighing 70 kg. In fact, the dose of propolis in public consumption is very low, only 1-2 drops in a glass of water. Another use of the dose was only 1 tablespoon dissolved in 50 ml of water.

'The toxicity of propolis is very low, if not arguably less toxic, "said Mulyati. How the effects of consumption in the long run? Master of Biology, Gadjah Mada University alumnus was also testing the toxicity subkronik. The result in long-term consumption of propolis did not cause damage to the blood, liver, and kidneys. Two scientific test - acute toxicity and toxicity subkronik - proves an ancient supplement ingredients that are very safe to eat.

Propolis is also consumed Sri Evie, head of Public Elementary School Kertajaya 4 Surabaya, to cope with stage IV breast cancer. Evie eventually recover from the deadly disease. Recovery in line with the research of Prof. Dr. Mustafa MKes, researchers at the Faculty of Medicine, University of Gadjah Mada University, who researched the in vitro propolis as anticancer. The master of using HeLa cells and Siha - both cervical cancer cells - as well as T47D and MCF7 (breast cancer cells).

He was also tested in vivo in mice induced 20 mg dimethilbenz (a) anthracene (DMBA), a carcinogenic compound triggers cancer cells. Frequency of 2 times a week for 5 weeks. The results showed propolis has a cytotoxic effect on cancer cells. IC50 values ​​in in vitro assays reach 20-41 ug / ml. IC50 is the concentration of inhibition consentration alias propolis inhibition of cancer cells.

To inhibit half the cells tested, only need 20-41 mg / ml. That figure is equivalent to 0.02 to 0.041 ppm. Compare with most top tocopherol as an antioxidant. IC50 values ​​tocopherol only 4-8 ppm. This means that ntuk inhibit free radicals by propolis need fewer doses than tocopherols. In other words propolis antioxidant value is much larger than the tocopherols.

In the test in vivo, propolis antiproliferasi effect. Growth of cancer cell proliferation is uncontrolled so successfully in groups. Of the group appeared to be separated from its mother cell and live independently with the 'migrate' to other networks. Antiproliferasi means propolis could inhibit cancer cell growth.

'Due to the reduced volume and the number of cancer nodules in rats given 0.3 ml and 1.2 ml of propolis,' says Dr. Woro Rukmi Pratiwi MKes, SpPD, research team members. In that study is not yet known active compounds in propolis which are anticancer. However, according to Dr. Ivan Hoesada in Semarang, Central Java, which is an anticancer compound is an acid ester fenetil caffeat.

Integrated
Much empirical evidence indicating death disease sufferers recover after consumption of propolis. 'Serious illness that a specialist had resigned, "said Dr. Ivan. Just to mention a few examples are Siti Latifah who suffered a stroke, Mandy Sudarwati (ginja failure), and Rohaya (diabetes mellitus). According to Dr. Hafuan Lutfie MBA highly integrated mechanism of propolis. In the face of cancer cells, for example, propolis is anti-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory alias anesthesia or pain reduction.

More important propolis stimulates the immune system. 'The body is empowered to immunity works so as to combat the disease, "said Lutfie, doctors Sriwjaya University alumnus. The ability of propolis increase endurance called immunomodulators. Dr. Dr. Eko Budi Koendhori MKes of the Faculty of Medicine, University of Airlangga proven to increase immune mice given propolis. Usually infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis - bacteria that cause tuberculosis (TB) - an indication of lowered immunity with interferon gamma and increased drop in interleukin 10 and TGF. Interferon gamma is a compound produced by immune cells or T cells that activate macrophages to kill the TB germs. TGF Interleukin and interferon gamma is inhibitory compounds.

Doctoral scholars proved tuberculosis interferon gamma mice given propolis tended to increase until week-12. Instead interleukin 10 would not show significant differences. 'Provision of propolis on mice infected with TB are able to reduce damage to the lungs by increasing the body's immune system, "said Dr. Eko.

With excess propolis is appropriate when demand tends to increase. Yudi Cahya Widianto in May 2009 a new market 300 bottles each containing 250 ml bottle has now reached 500. Malaysia routinely requested 250 bottles per month. Hendra Wijaya who manage outlets in Coventry Melianature Indonesia, Bogor, West Java, was able to sell 50 packages per day. A package consists of 7 bottles each volume of 6 ml for Rp2.750.000 Rp550.000 or total daily turnover.

Marta Irawati archipelago of the Queen of propolis reluctant to reveal sales volume. 'Increased sales volume reached 20% per year, "said Marta. Conditions that encourage Jeanny Komar, beekeepers in Sukabumi, West Java, in January 2010 began using propolis. 1000 he was managing the colony. Commodities during the time he let the drug was efficacious. 'Medicines of which created beings are far better than man-made drugs, "said Dr. Lutfie

Turn off Cigarettes, Cigarettes Off Before You!

JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - Let's quit smoking! The study, published by the National Cancer Center Hospital Dharmais said 90 percent of lung cancers and 30 percent more cancers will be prevented by quitting smoking.
