How To Alleviate Nausea And Vomiting Due To Chemotherapy?

Official medicine recommends cytostatic as the best treatment for malignant diseases, although the side effects are really severe and significantly impair the quality of life of the diseased. However, they can be reduced by using natural products

Cancer patients are dealing with extremely serious side effects of chemotherapy. Very often we do not know what's worse, whether the primary disease or side effects of chemotherapy. Through years of working with oncology patients, we have collected some empirical knowledge about side effects and how to minimize them as much as possible. The first thing you need to know is that not everyone goes through chemotherapy, not all has the same side effects (someone stronger, some mild) and not all chemotherapies are same. It is very important in what condition is the immune complex of the organism before going to chemotherapy. What to do while you are at chemotherapy to retain the immune status. There are generally few principles that can help you. But first of all let’s clarify what chemotherapy represents:

 Chemotherapy

Chemotherapy is a systemic treatment and control of malignant disease (cancer) of chemical substances of natural or synthetic origin, which are also known anticancer drugs, cytotoxic drugs or cytostatic. For this type of therapy, the name of chemotherapy is accepted, because by this method of treatment the growth of malignant cells and tumor tissue is controlled by chemical means. The advantage of chemotherapy in relation to other healing treatments is that cytostatic reach the tumor metastasis, at many sites in the body where other drugs or procedures do not have an appropriate approach. The mechanism of action of cytostatic is most often seen in the disruption of the synthesis and function of macromolecules (DNA, RNA, proteins) and the function of cellular organelles, which enable normal cell division (mitosis).

Types of chemotherapy

There are a number of strategies in the application of chemotherapeutic drugs that are in regular use today. Chemotherapy can be applied alone or together with other methods in the target; curing, prolongation of life or alleviation of tumor process symptoms. Today, in everyday oncology and other medical practice, the following forms of chemotherapy are applied:

Combined chemotherapy. which is based on a combination of chemotherapy along with other methods, such as radiation therapy or surgery. Most cancers are now treated in this way.

Adjuvant chemotherapy, (post-operative therapy), is applied after surgery, cryotherapy, radiotherapy, etc., with the aim of supplementing the treatment process or preventing recurrence (by destroying remaining residual cells). It is routinely used in breast tumors and a large number of cancers.

Systemic chemotherapy is most commonly used in patients with metastatic changes due to which surgical or other types of therapy cannot be used. It more relieves the symptoms caused by the tumor, than treating the tumor.

Compatible chemotherapy, ("support therapy"), aims to improve the quality of life for the patient and to limit the adverse effects of the tumor.

Chemoprevency is a form of treatment that should be applied in the future. It essence is in disguised tumor cells, but in the creation of functions and conditions in a cell that will prevent the development of tumors.

Nausea and vomiting

The prevalence of nausea and vomiting is diverse, due to different definitions and methods of approaching their assessment. Numerous researches confirm that nausea occurs in about 29% of patients on chemotherapy or in one, out of three patients, and vomiting in 11% of patients, or in one in ten patients. With the introduction of new pharmacological drugs (5-HT3 receptor blockers), a reduction in the prevalence of nausea and vomiting was anticipated. However, numerous studies show different results. While one study reports data on a lower incidence of nausea and vomiting, the other three state that the incidence of vomiting after 5-HT3 drugs in chemotherapy is lower, but not the incidence of post-chemotherapeutic nausea.

Experts believe that nightmares are the way your subconscious has drawn attention to the situation you are avoiding, but which obviously causes problems. Therefore, the best solution is to face the situation. Perhaps you did not know that there are dreamy and scientific interpretations of nightmares.

The most common nightmares and their meaning

Spiders

Scientific Interpretation: Spiders are the most common types of hypnagogic hallucinations. These are vivid sensations that resemble the dreams that occur to people when they hear, see, feel, or smell something that happened shortly before falling asleep. 10% of the population experience hallucinations during sleep.

Drowning and waves

Dream interpretation: The oceans represent emotions. So if you dream of drowning in the ocean, it usually means that you are flooded with emotions suppressed. You feel exhausted, you have too many obligations and endeavor to endure.

Scientific Interpretation: If you are dreaming that you are drowning, it means you have difficulty breathing while sleeping. Most likely a sleep apnea or an unconscious muscle spasm that occurs when people fall asleep.

Falling

Dream interpretation: If you dream of falling, it means that you feel as if you have failed or that a certain situation in your life begins to deteriorate. Also, you feel that you have no control over things and that you are stuck in a hole from which you try to exit.

Scientific Interpretation: The feeling of falling can result from the fluid that passes into your inner ear. If you experience a feeling of falling along with muscle spasms, this means that you are experiencing a hypnagogic trembling that usually occurs before falling asleep.

Falling of teeth

Dream interpretation: It's hard to say how you feel or express yourself. If you are dreaming about how your teeth are falling, it is a sign of insecurity or concern about the look. This dream can also mean that you make a huge compromise or that you do not want to make an important decision in life. You feel that you have no control over the situation. Because such a dream is associated with the physical appearance, it may stem from your fear of refusal or from the knowledge that you are getting older. Studies have confirmed that women in menopause are more likely to have nightmares associated with teeth. Therefore, this dream is associated with the aging process and the complex of lower value.

Scientific Interpretation: According to scientists, if you are dreaming of falling teeth, it means that you have an anxiety problem.

Being late

Dream interpretation: You have too many obligations at the moment and you cannot withstand more. You may feel that you have missed an important chance in life. You feel unprepared and you are likely to go through major life changes that you cannot adjust.

Scientific Interpretation: In the same research that we mentioned above, 24% of Germans dreamed of being late.

Freezing

Dreams interpretation: If you dream that you are frozen, it means that something in your life has been rejected or ignored. It can also mean that your emotions are a bit cooler than usual.

Making a test

Dream Interpretation: You are concerned that you are not performing your current obligations or are anxious, because you are not sure if you will succeed.

Naked in public

Dream interpretation: If you dream that you are naked in public, this means that you are very anxious and self-conscious or that you are not consistent with yourself. This dream means you feel very vulnerable.

If you are travelers, you may feel that you are giving control to someone and you do not like it. You are not ready to give up control.

Scientific Interpretation: If you have experienced a car accident, this dream comes from a post-traumatic disorder caused by the incident and in this way the brain is trying to cope with the trauma.

Dying

Dream interpretation: If you dream of your own death, it means that major changes are taking place in your life. Death is usually a positive symbol of new beginnings, self-cognition or internal changes.

Scientific Interpretation: If someone in your life has died, such vivid and meaningful dreams are a key element of the process of grieving. In this way, your brain handles sorrow and trauma.

Techniques You Require If You Want To Assemble A Productive Online Business

For some time now we have been living in a new, digital era in which, regardless of the type of your business, if it does not exist online, it's just like you do not have it. Well, if you're thinking about starting your online adventure and building an online business kingdom, then take a look at the following skills you need to own.

1.       Build a website that will attract attention

Think, when you are walking through the city center, what are the most attractive things for you? Surely those who are well organized and designed. An impractical and obsolete website can "kill" your online business. People want easily accessible information that they do not have to bother to get, while at the same time wanting to be entertained by the design that accommodates that information.

2.       Writing texts that "sell"

Regardless of whether you run a classic blog or website for sale, you need quality written material that will entice readers. Keep an eye on original texts that are not translated or overwritten, and insert something personal in them, something that will be specific to you only, and after which people will recognize you.

3.       Visibility of the Internet sky
If you search your name or the name of your website, will it come out on the first page or the hundred and first page? It is extremely important to be visible on the first page, and you can achieve this only by optimizing your website (SEO). Although this might seem complicated at first glance, courses or professionals are easy to find to help you get the right direction.

4.       Strengthening the brand through social networks

Facebook, Instagram, Twitter ... these are just some of the most popular social networks that will help you quickly and easily promote your work. But you must be extremely careful when sending the right message in order to attract the right people. If you are selling precious jewelry, communication with teenagers cannot help you because they have neither interest nor sufficient finances for it. First, define your target audience, and then only search for it on social networks.

5.       Regular creative and interesting newsletter

Want to keep your brand fans nearby? The best way to report on novelties in your business is the newsletter. It should be topical, with interesting content, and usually delivered exactly one week to keep your readers' attention away without bothering them.
