What are fibroids? Fibroid tumors are usually benign (non-cancerous) tumors found, most often, in the uterus of women in their 30's and 40's, although they occasionally develop on other organs which contain smooth muscle cells. Fibroid tumors are solid tumors which are made of fibrous tissue, hence the name 'fibroid' tumor. Most often fibroids occur as multiple tumor masses which are slow-growing and often cause no symptoms. The size of fibroids varies widely among women and some are so small that a microscope is required to see them. However some women experience a single large fibroid...

Progesterone is very well absorbed transdermally (through the skin) where it is stored in the fatty tissues for use as needed and unlike progesterone taken orally, it is not subject to being intercepted by the liver.

In the morning and at bedtime, the cream should be gently massaged by the palms of the hands to areas of the body where one blushes:...

The Food and Nutrition Board recommends that public water supplies be fluoridated when natural fluoride levels are significantly below 0.7 mg per liter. The accepted concentration of fluoride in drinking water is 1 ppm. Concentrations over 2 ppm begin to be a health risk.

Although elemental aluminum can not pass the blood-brain barrier, some compounds such as aluminum fluoride...

The immune system is an intricate network of specialized tissues, organs, cells, and chemicals. The lymph nodes, spleen, bone marrow, thymus gland, and tonsils all play a role, as do lymphocytes (specialized white blood cells), antibodies, and interferon. Two types of immunity protect the body: innate and adaptive. Innate immunity is present at birth and provides the first barrier against microorganisms. The skin, mucus secretions, and the acidity of the stomach are examples of innate immunity that act as a barriers to keep unwanted germs away from more vulnerable tissues. Adaptive immunity...
