Fertility After 40 – Is it Too Late For You to Get Pregnant?
The most productive years in woman's life to conceive are those between 18 and 28. Even into the mid-thirties, while fertility after 40 is possible the ability to conceive and carry a pregnancy to term. During your younger years your hormones that ensure ovulation, heighten conception, and ensure a healthy pregnancy are generally made easily and in larger quantities.
One of the greatest challenge facing women over 40 is developing quality eggs. The decrease in the quality of eggs is normal for this age. The number of couples in their 30s and 40s trying to become pregnant is on the up rise. It is more common to delay beginning a family for a number of reasons such as, second relationships, career and educational requirements, desire for financial stability, and waiting for the right relationship.
Even so it is crucial to understand that fertility after 40 declines in women. This is a normal part of the aging process. As women get older, the probability of conceiving is lower, the probability of having a miscarriage is greater and there is a raised risk of chromosomal abnormalities in the baby. In the common population, the odds of getting pregnant if you're over 40 is approximated to be merely 5% compared to approximately 20% for those under 40.
You should not stop trying to conceive when you've reached this point in your life, there are approximately 14 million couples trying to get pregnant worldwide at 5% of that number 700,000 thousand will conceive. That's pretty good odds. So is fertility after 40 is possible. Why not get started today?

The Amazing Race – a Great Online Game
If you are a great fan of racing games then you certainly know of the many racing games available on the web, there is just one problem with these racing games, most of them are monotonous and take you nowhere fast. The goal of some of these games is to compete against other cars (which I'm pretty sure you are used to) others will set obstacles and throw them at you faster and faster according to the level you are on and others will just reward you for taking down those obstacles.
As you see there are just so many things a racing game can do, this is where "The Amazing Race" sets itself apart from the rest of the online games, it is called amazing because it simply is! Unlike all other racing games you have played so far, this one takes you high up to the mountains, the car you will be using is not a sports car but a 4 wheel drive, more like a Hummer if you ask me.
The goal of the game is to get from start to finish without crashing the car, the terrain in the mountains is irregular and hard to tame that is why you should proceed with caution, the mountains can be too steep to climb and may overturn your vehicle if you are coming at it too fast.
What makes it more of a challenge is that you don't get to see the terrain which in front of you, the only thing you see is the road which is just a few feet away, you might be climbing very high just to find yourself with a sharp fall which will cause you to crash the car against the base of mountain, at some parts you might even feel some vertigo, don't worry it is normal.
A few seconds after you start the race you may crash the car, overturn it or a combination of those; don't get discouraged as you need to take it slow to learn the tricks to get pass those obstacles. You may think some parts are impossible to climb, that is because you may not be using the tilt buttons which are the left and right keys of your keyboard, by using these keys you will be able to climb these parts of the mountain but you need to be careful because you may loose control of the vehicle if you tilt it too much or in the opposite direction, good luck and have fun!
Construction Jobs
The construction industry offers a wide variety of job opportunities. Some of which require a University degree, some of which will require office experience and on-site jobs will generally require that workers be fit and healthy.
An Architect designs the plans for the structure being built. An architect may be asked to come up with an original design or he may be asked to follow a general outline of what the developers wish the final project to look like. An architect will need to have passed the relevant examinations in order to practice professionally. They are also expected to deliver accurate, structurally sound plans and to alert the developers to any complications that may arise during the project's life. An architect will also be expected to produce plans that comply with local building and environmental laws.
Cancer – Conventional Or Alternative Treatment?
If you have been diagnosed with cancer by an allopathic (conventional) physician, then the recommended course of treatment is most likely to take the conventional cut-burn-poison route. And you'll be cited the "statistics" of the "cure" rate. These people are all enamored with statistics. You will be given the percentages of patients who have survived these treatments for five years. Meaning they were "cured." Well, five years is 1,825 days and you won't be informed of any patients who died on the 1,826th day because they are off the charts and not counted in the statistics. As soon as 1,825 days of survival have been recorded, the patient is considered cured. This is what is called "lies, damn lies, and statistics." What the conventional medical clique refers to as a "cure" isn't much more than medicine show pitchman babble. The truth is, they haven't cured anything.
You see, Oncologists are obsessed with tumors. They enjoy referring to them as "cancer." So they're delighted to cut them out with surgery, burn them up with radiation, or poison them with chemotherapy, all for a nice fee. This is very much like a farmer tilling, seeding, and cultivating his crop. A nice big crop of cancer cells! Because tumors aren't cancer!! Tumors are there to protect the cancer cells and the only way to cure cancer is to kill those cancer cells and leave their tumors with nothing to protect. This will make the tumors so unhappy, they'll shrivel up and die.
The surgery, radiation, and chemo business doesn't want us to know this. The average cancer treatment costs around $350,000.00. That's a lot of money to leave on the table in favor of offering a cheaper and less profitable treatment that actually cures someone. After all, the cancer business isn't in business for the sheer excitement of it all!
Cutting into tumors releases cancer cells into the bloodstream. That goes for biopsies too. Burning them with radiation won't kill all cancer cells and the survivors will settle themselves into new homes, followed swiftly by their protective bodyguards, new tumors, and many cancer cells are simply impervious to chemotherapy.
There is a very inspiring book around by Dr W. D. Kelley, an orthodontist who was sent home to die of end stage pancreatic cancer. Dr Kelley cured himself and lived another 35 years, meanwhile writing a book about his ordeal. That beats the 1,825 day survival rate of the conventional "cure" by 30 years, doesn't it?
Dr Kelley isn't alone in his victory over cancer. Alternative physicians routinely treat and cure cancer. They have to keep a low profile because they will be effectively silenced if they begin cutting into the cancer money machine too deeply. There is a very very powerful conglommerate of government agencies (surprise, the government doesn't have our best interests at heart), international drug companies, and major treatment hospitals that puts profits first and the devil take the cure! These interests don't want us to learn about the effective alternatives out there.
Most of what we hear about cancer treatments is not the truth. At the very best, we receive an incomplete picture and anyone who develops cancer and believes the propaganda put out by the cancer establishment, is putting his life at risk.
To the cancer establishment, we, as cancer patients, are a profit center. The actual clinical and scientific evidence does not support the claims made by the cancer business. Conventional cancer therapies are in place as the law of the land because they make the most money, not because they heal anyone. Decades of cancer business politics have kept us from knowing this and will continue to do so until we all wake up to the reality.
Feeling Tired and Lack of Energy
Did you know in the 1950s and 60s many of the modern day diseases like auto-immune diseases, HIV/AIDS virus, foot and mouth disease, avian flu and now swine flu and many more were not common? Have you wondered why?
Virus that only attacks animals are now attacking humans, have you wondered why?
There has to be a cellular damage for the virus to enter the cell and order the DNA to reproduce the virus DNA.
What is causing this molecular and DNA damage in our bodies? Is it because of food? Maybe, the trans fat oils used by fast food outlets could be one factor.
Could it be due to lack of nutrition?
I don't think so as I know in the 50s and 60s we only had Vitamin B- complex, and cod-liver-oil, Scots emulsion, pregnant ladies were given calcium tablets and a few others but today if you go to the drug stores all kinds of supplement, vitamins, amino-acids, proteins and enzymes and a wide range of potent herbal products are at your service.
In the 1980s women in the 40s used to have fibroid, now young girls at 15 years of age have fibroid. Believe me as my wife is working at the gynecologist clinic at the medical center in Malaysia and she says it is very common for women who are in the mid 20s to have fibroid.
Cancer in 1900 was 1 in 10,000 today 1 in 4 this means in your family if there are 4 people 1 may have cancer. Why is this so and what are the causes for all these modern diseases?
E-SMOG
What is e-smog?
E-smog is electromagnetic pollution - when you switch on your ceiling fan, air-conditioner, refrigerator, washing machine, vacuum cleaner, hair dryer and all electrical equipments with a motor in it emits low level EMF radiation and there is a cellular damage taking place and it is happening very silently without you realizing it. This cellular damage provides an easy pathway for the many viruses to get into the cells and order our DNA to reproduce the virus DNA thereby choking the neighboring cells of their oxygen thus the demise of the cells.
Free radicals are from the oxygen molecules a free electron is released from a paired electron due to chemical reaction taking place within our body during a digestive process also damages to the cells.
I remember in 1955 my dad bought a radiogram (combination of radio and gramophone which plays music records); we were very fascinated by it. By today's standard the radiogram was very primitive; washing machines were very rare and very expensive to buy one.
It was the in the 60s when new electrical equipments were developed and manufactured, then in the 70s more and more electrical devices were invented and manufactured, for example television which became a common household item.
In the 80s VCR became popular, then in the 90s CD, and VCD, the computers, and cell-phones became very popular. Then DVD in the 2000, hence by 2009 very advanced communication devices using micro-wave frequencies to operate these devices.
From the 50s to the 90s the EMF radiation were passive and mostly goes undetected but the damage was done in a gradual manner but now with a combination of EMF and micro-wave radiation makes it dynamic and we cannot escape exposing ourselves to this damage.
No wonder the young girls who are using cell-phones usually keep their hand-phones in their pocket and their uterus is exposed to the micro-wave radiation thus the fibroid at young age.
Take note even when the phone is not being used but switched on, it is constantly communicating with the relay station, emitting the signals with the power of 1 to 3 watts to and from the relay stations; this means the radiation is an ongoing thing.
The latest e-smog is radiation from wifi, wimax and etc wireless signals cress-crossing everywhere.
Now the big Q, can we live without all these electrical devices especially cell-phones, computers and Internet? I cannot but I am protected from e-smog damage and so you too can be protected.
What Price? Technology
Many alternative health care practitioners are now recommending a detoxification program for most of us over the age of 40. Living in an industrialized society certainly has many benefits in terms of convenience and access to information. There is a plentiful supply of material goods used in the creation of many commercial products including plastics, metals, and other synthetic materials. However, with the manufacturing of such materials, we have the problem of chemical pollution and disposal problems. The toxins we generate threaten our air and water supply. Most well informed people will not even consider drinking unfiltered tap water in our cities.
As a plastic surgeon with over twenty years of experience placing foreign material into people's bodies, I have also become aware of another form of pollution, namely the placement of multiple implants in the body. How does the body deal with the break down of these foreign materials? I have personal experience with a number of these implant materials; including mercury amalgams, breast implants filled with both saline and silicone, a silicone chin implant, and tattoo pigments for eyeliner. In surgical training we are taught that these implants are inert and in general well tolerated by the body unless the implant becomes secondarily infected.
Unfortunately, this is not necessarily true, and I have come to believe from years of experience dealing with silicone breast implants, that there is probably nothing that you can place in the human body that the body will not attempt to break down. Silicone implants in the body are broken down over time through a lipolysis reaction and the engineering data shows that implants regularly fail either by the contents leaking out or frank rupture of the implant elastomer shell usually within 8 to 15 years. The same implants sitting on the shelf are unaffected for they are not exposed to the enzyme systems, which effect the implants inside the body. Just as the nuclear facilities have found it difficult to find containers to contain nuclear waste, plastic surgeons have found it difficult to find containers that will contain saline or silicone gel or other filler material over time. As we go through life, we are all exposed to a variety of pesticides, heavy metals, plastics of all sorts; from those lining aluminum cans to those present on IV catheters. I wonder just how much foreign material is introduced into the human body over a lifetime.
Also complex biofilms that form around implants, add biotoxins to the list of toxins that the body must eliminate in order not to become ill. Of course, natural detoxification and elimination methods do exist to handle much of this load. However, biochemical analysis of the majority of people in industrialized society show high levels of many substances including aluminum, mercury, lead, and other heavy metals. It is exactly these lab findings that have lead alternative practitioners to recommend detoxification programs.
Some substances are relatively easy to eliminate from the body and others are more difficult. The toxic effects of silicone gel implants is one such difficult dilemma. The silicone gel that leaks out through the capsule is taken up by the macrophages and is distributed throughout the body. We are not only dealing with this silicone gel, but also with the breakdown products including silicate, which can crystallize in nerve tissue. There are a myriad of other chemicals and heavy metals used in the manufacturing process of silicone gel implants including platinum that may be difficult to eliminate from the body.
The chemistry of silicone in the body is not well studied, but we do know that silicone penetrates cell membranes and interferes with enzyme systems. Based on the paucity of information is no wonder that the systemic diseases associated with the widespread dissemination of silicone throughout the body have not yet been carefully studied. From clinical experience, I can tell you that the disease course is very similar in many of the woman that I see for explanations. It appears that the severity of the disease does correlate with the amount of time that the silicone has been leaking out of the implants. If this process has been occurring for more than ten years, the detoxification process, including the removal of the implants, is less likely to restore the patient to full health than if the implants are removed prior to this time.
In some patients, we also have a complicating factor of a coating of polyurethane placed around the implants, which disassociates itself from the implant and is embedded in the scar capsule surrounding the implant. The break down products of polyurethane are felt to be carcinogenic and the mechanism of the disposal of these products is not yet well defined. Clinically, these women have a different illness than the woman with pure silicone gel leakage. Implant removal often results in a dramatic improvement in their symptoms, provided that the scar capsules with the embedded polyurethane are totally removed.
There is a theory that it is the cumulative effect of these toxins that leads to the free radical formation and subsequent accelerated aging that appears to occur after the age of forty. A whole science of anti-aging theories and technologies is currently being developed. Advanced methods exist to eliminate the free radicals and detoxify the body of a number of chemicals, heavy metals and other contaminants within the body. It is well established that certain conditions within the bowels can lead to "leaky gut" syndrome and allow large molecules to enter the body and produce autoimmune reactions that may affect the joints and other tissues. Given the rapid reversal of arthralgias and conditions such as bursitis after removal of leaking silicone gel implants, and knowing what we know about silicone acting as an adjuvant in the immune system, I feel that we have much to learn about the mechanism of autoimmune disease in relationship to these foreign substances.
The Gulf War syndrome is another example of this with a possible etiology being the adjuvant "squalene" as the initiating agent of this syndrome. The Gulf War syndrome has many characteristics similar to silicone immune dysfunction including not only the autoimmune, but also the neurological components. Could these foreign materials that we introduce to our bodies through vaccines, implants, prosthesis, and ingestion of contaminated food and water sources be contributing to the epidemic of autoimmune disease that we are seeing in our society? Of course, many links have been made toxic chemicals, which are carcinogenic. Detoxification programs including chelation therapy, removal of mercury amalgams, and restoration of gut intestinal flora with elimination of pathogenic flora are a standard treatment of cancer in Europe. We should also consider the epidemic of cardiovascular disease in this country. Heart disease is associated with free radical damage to the heart vessels and does respond to methods that will eliminate free radicals such as chelation therapy. And what of immune dysfunction in general with the variety of viral, bacterial and fungal infections that affect our population? A healthy immune system can not exist if foreign chemicals, heavy metals, and nutritional deficiencies are constantly bombarding it.
It is not what we know, but what we do not know about the effect of this multitude of chemicals, plastics (including silicone), metals, drugs and their metabolites to which we expose our bodies. What are the effects on enzyme systems, cell membranes, DNA damage and interference with repair mechanisms, and the effect on mitochondria energy production? No wonder we currently have epidemics of energy disorders such as fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, and atypical autoimmune diseases, which evade traditional medical understanding.
Take a moment to survey your own life style choices; including dental amalgams, implants, internal prosthetic devices, suture material left within the body, tattoos, hair pigments, personal care products such as shampoos, conditioners, deodorants and antiperspirants, after shave lotions, perfumes, and cosmetics, residue from dry cleaning, food additives, drugs and their break down products, and chemical contamination of our food, air and water sources. It is clear that since vast numbers of these contaminants gain access to our bodies, we should encourage government and academic research institutions to study the science of detoxification. It is imperative to prevent contamination as well as to help speed the removal of contaminants from the human body. How many of the degenerative diseases including heart disease, arthritis and cancer are truly preventable given the proper technology of detoxification and education for prevention? How many dollars do we spend every year treating these diseases and what is the cost to society when so many of our citizens are disabled by these conditions? What price are we paying and what price will our children pay?
If this research is not supported, and our government and regulatory agencies do not take the responsibility of passing legislation that will protect us from the chemical pollution of our air, water and food supplies, then WHO will protect us?
As a consumer, you have the power of choice. Some choices that will benefit your health and the environment include non-mercury dental materials, organic foods, purified water, natural body care products and minimilization of dry cleaning. Suggested Reading

Cancer Fighting Foods
It is no secret that what we choose to eat impacts our health on a daily basis. Some foods are rich in anti oxidants, and some foods are known to contain healthy amounts of beneficial bacteria. Could some foods fight abnormal cell growth that occurs when one is diagnosed with cancer? Consider these foods and the effect that they can have on the effects of cancer, as well as prevention.
Avocados have chemicals in them that are rich in antioxidants and attack free radicals within the body. Free radicals are one of the known cancer causing cells, and avocados assist in the attack of these cells. Avocados are not only good for liver cancer, but are good for fighting liver damage and contain more potassium than bananas. They block the intestinal absorption of certain fats into the body.
Nitrosamines are cancer causing substances and can lead to specific types of stomach cancer. Chili peppers and jalapenos as well other hot peppers contain the chemical capsaicin which can neutralize these cancer causing substances. Peppers have been known to have healing powers for centuries, so next time there is pasta being made put in some extra fresh peppers.
It is a common saying to eat vegetables that are rich in color, many say the greener the vegetable and richer the color the more beneficial that the vegetable is for you. Broccoli has been known to prevent colon and prostate cancer for decades and is looked upon as one of the most heart healthy vegetables due to its rich green color.
Flax is another food that has antioxidants and when the seeds are crushed beneficial oils are released. It can easily be added to a variety of foods and available at most health food stores. It is one of the highest foods that can fight cancer and protect against heart disease. Flax seeds and flax oil are some of the most common health supplements.
Garlic is good for the immune system and can increase the activity within our bodies to promote a healthy immune system and therefore is important in indirectly preventing cancerous activity within the body. Garlic has been discovered to block carcinogens and slow the development and growth of tumors. Studies have shown that those who consume garlic are at half the risk of developing many types of stomach cancer than those who do not consume the helpful root. There are certain bacteria within the stomach that have been known to cause stomach cancer and garlic protects against h. pylori - one of these cancer promoting bacterium.
Grapefruits, grapes and oranges as well as other citrus fruits can sweep carcinogens from the body - literally! Because of the high instances of vitamin c, folic acid and beta carotene eating these citrus foods can inhibit the growth of many cancer cells, including breast cancer. Grapes contain an important cancer fighting ingredient, resveratol which inhibits the enzymes and these enzymes can inhibit the growth of certain cancer cells. Citrus foods also seem to slow the growth of tumors within the body.
We are what we eat, and many times we can prevent certain illnesses, including cancer - it gives us more incentive to eat healthily.
Hormone Effects and Menopause
Hair loss can have a devastating effect on a womans confidence, as her hair is very much a part of who she is. Losing an ecxessive amount of hair during menopause is usually a direct result of those pesky hormone levels. The two main hormones involved in hair growth are estrogen and testosterone. Another hormone, androgen, increases as the levels of estrogen decrease.
Normal hair growth is about half an inch per month, although this slows down as you age. Each hair remains on the head for two to six years, and during most of this time it is continually growing and renewing.
Usually there are approximately 100,000 hairs on a person`s head at any one time and it is quite normal to lose 50-100 hairs each day. When washing or brushing your hair you will possibly notice this loss the most. However, in some women undergoing the transition of menopause, the loss will be noticeably greater.
If you are experiencing hair loss and suspect that menopause is responsible, get yourself to your doctor right away just to make sure. There are other possibilities, such as anxiety and stress, trauma and certain medications. It is worth casting your mind back to around three months prior to the beginning of the hair loss, as to what was going on at the time. You may be able identify the events that triggered the loss.
Hair loss in menopausal women tends not be as noticeable as hair loss in men, with the thinning occurring over the entire head, rather than in specific bald spots.
Do keep in mind that not all hair thinning and loss is permanent. There have been cases of menopausal women, experiencing thinning and lost hair who went on to regain the thickness of previously lost hair, once their hormone levels had become balanced.
