Fear and Procrastination Delay Cancer Diagnoses

A recent study from the Tower Cancer Research Foundation in Los Angeles, found that the biggest reason people waited to see a doctor was because they were simply waiting to see if symptoms disappeared. However, 15 percent of respondents waited one to five years after their symptoms appeared before finally seeking medical advice.
Yes,I believed people are afraid to face the inevitable of the truth of their own body ,so they rather wait and delay for checkup or seeking medical advise.As for me if I feel something wrong in my body or doesn't feel right,I'm sure will seek medical advise or expertise immediately.

“Hope, fear, procrastination and lack of medical insurance were all powerful forces preventing people from going to see a doctor,'’ said Dr. Solomon Hamburg, president of the foundation. “Those surveyed were cancer survivors, but many people who delay going to a doctor for long periods of time for a diagnosis are not as fortunate. Early detection raises the bar considerably on our ability to help those in need.”
That right!! Today medical insurance is really expensive,not all people can afford to pay their premium from the own pocket if their employer or company doesn't cover certain part of checkup procedure or diagnoses.But I strongly suggest to anyone who don't have medical insurance to seek medical attention immediately when they are in pain or once a year for regular checkup for their peace of mind.You only live once.Live is very precious,don't take it for granted!!

Korean Ginseng Cure Allergy?

I'm having severe pollen allergy during Spring.Sneezing ,itchy eyes and running nose.Recently a friend of mine from city come to visit me .I was surprised that his allergy problem was gone.He was in bad shape than me.But now he is almost 80% recovered from pollen allergy.His wife told me that she brewed Korean ginseng with red date for him to drink nightly.She suggested that I should try this recipe.Did any one of you ever try this recipe and get the same result?. Red ginseng (Korean=홍삼, simplified Chinese: ; traditional Chinese: ), is P. ginseng that has been heated, either through steaming or sun-drying. It is frequently marinated in an herbal brew which results in the root becoming extremely brittle. This version of ginseng is traditionally associated with stimulating sexual function and increasing energy. Red ginseng is always produced from cultivated roots, usually from either China or South Korea.
In 2002, a preliminary double-blind, crossover study of Korean red ginseng's effects on impotence reported that it can be an effective alternative for treating male erectile dysfunction.
If you 're having male erectile dysfunction or male after 40,it's no harm to take Korean ginseng.Anyway,I'm going to get some Korean ginseng for my pollen allergy.Hope it will cure my allergy problem.
