Key To Immortality

 

Cryogenics has a long history and a promising future.It's the key that unlocks longevity and life after death cryogenics is the scientific study of extremely cold temperatures usually under-150 degree.

Studies of this field began in 1823 in the United Kingdom and has since evolved into different ramifications such as cryobiology that involves freezing micro-organisms and studying the effects low temperatures have on different life forms.
Another branch of cryogenics is cryonics which is the preservation of deceased humans by way of deep freezing in the likely possibility that scientist could thaw the bodies and resurrect them in the far future with advancements in cloning and medical technology.

One logical way this can be achieved is removal of the brain from the deceased and surgically transplant it into the skull of a cloned body.Presently cryogenics is being utilized in cryosurgery to treat Parkinson disease.This surgical process involves using a compact cryogenic instrument to freeze and demolish individualized portions of diseased tissue as well as brain tumors. This method is also being used to contain the proliferation of cervical cancer.

The latest break through in cryogenics will enable medics who are responding to disasters or accidents to inject freezing cold liquid silicon into moribund victims.In doing so the victim is nearly frozen and their heart barely beats.This prevents them from dying on their long journey to the hospital where their body temperature is reduced to normal upon arrival and surgery ensues.

While most of society remains frozen in the past,cryogenics is accelerating into the future.

Cancer Sniffers

 

A California clinic is training Labrador Retrievers to sniff  and detect lung cancer in humans in the same manner that is used to train drug sniffing dogs.

  The canine were presented with breath samples of cancer patients and of robust people that was secreted in plastic containers if the dog smelled cancer it sat down and received a treat.

  The canines have a 99 percent accurancy and could  some day be used to warn its owner about cancers insidious incipientness.

Medical Science-Back To The Future



It's already a well known fact that Egyptians were experts in carving and building pyramids along with mummifying the dead,but as it turns out they were also phenomenally advanced in medicine.

  The Egyptians became conversant with the human anatomy when they evisicerated the deceased in preparation for burial and mummification.

  According to the translations of an Ancient Egyptian papyrus scroll which dates back to 1600B.C. and is the wold earliest discovered medical test, the Egyptians were not only skilled at preserving the dead but they also became highly advanced in preserving life.

The 4,000 year old scroll illuminates that Egyptians were centuries ahead of their time,they properly treated broken bones cephalic wounds and facial wrinkles.Their medical modus operandi involved simple surgery such as utilizing stitches to close gashes and using honey as on application to cuts,which has natural antiseptic benefits.

  The ancient scroll also contain magical healing rites and passages,but the majority of it is sensible and is strikingly modern.The papyrus text was more than likely a medical reference  guide for treating war wounds.It expounds on 48 different cases such as placing moldy bread on open wounds to fight infections and other diseases.

  The Egyptians clearly understood the logics of penicillin and they were cognizant that the heart circulated blood throughout the body.The Europeans  however, believed until the 17th century that blood was immobile and that the heart contained bone matter.

Surprisely the scroll is in correlation with our modern medical practices.

Disease Update-On Plague Buildup In The Arteries!


Strokes are one of the leading causes of death in America.It claims the lives of over 50,000 US citizens annually while impairing nearing 600,000 others. A stroke is caused when arterial plaque builds up in a vessel leading to the brain and hinders the blood flow. When the same happens to a vessel that leads directly to the the heart it causes a heart attack.       

   Symptoms of a stroke includes numbness or a strange sensation that afflicts one leg or arm, debilitation that affects one entire half of your body, the sudden lost of vocal ability or delayed speech. In the event you experience any of these symptoms seek medical attention immediately and as you wait the arrival of an ambulance  chew two aspirins,this will accelerate its medicinal benefits that includes thinning of the blood, which will mitigate clogging.

  Brief bouts of these symptoms is often suggestive that one is suffering from Transient  Ischemic Attack(TIA).This condition is also known as a mini stroke and usually occurs before the onset of a much more deadlier stroke that can cause death or incapacitation.

 Strokes can happen to anyone whos usually over the age of 34 at any given time and are induced by a number of factors that includes consumption of foods that are processed,fried and  or high in saturated fat and cholesterol.

  Once the body breaks down unhealthy foods the grease and cholestrol is absorbed into the bloodstream where it accumulates in the veins until it hardens.This is what stops or hinders the flow of blood and can be fatal because the brain is deprived of oxygen.

  This cholesterol build up is known as plaque and is also called lipids,and it begins as soon as you start to eat unhealthy foods as a child  and gradually increases with the amount you consume.

  People with high  blood pressure and diabetes and those who are obese have a heightened risk for strokes and heart attacks.Those who smoke or constantly inhale second hand smoke also have an elevated risk for stokes because smoke promotes arterial build up. Insufficiently brushing your teeth is another factor because plaque resides on your teeth and can seep down below the gum lines and enter the bloodstream.A Healthy diet and excercising can stave off strokes. An added defense is to take one aspirin  per day and to eat plenty of oatmeal because it absorbs cholesterol from the body.
