Lesion Sterilization and Tissue Repair ( LSTR), an Alternative to Root Canal
For many days, my son was having sleepless nights because of toothache. He visited a dentist who cleaned and treated the tooth and gave him
antibiotics and pain reliever for a week intake but the tooth kept
aching. He did not want the root to be pulled so the dentist suggested a root canal therapy His dentist was charging PHP3,000/canal. This is cheaper as
compared to up to PHP5,500 per canal being charged by other dentists.
So if the aching tooth needs up to 4 canals the cheapest cost to save
the tooth by root canal is PHP12,000.
But, PHP12,000 is still a big amount so I thought of inquiring for other options. I inquired from other dentists but almost all of them were saying root canal is the only way. I did not give up and still tried calling more dentists. Fortunately one dentist suggested Lesion Sterilization and Tissue Repair LSTR. The dentist said LSTR is another way to heal and restore the affected tooth to normal form.
As explained by this Dentist, I learned this LSTR (Lesion Sterilization and Tissue Repair) is a cheaper alternative to root canal. I learned further that most dentists who perform root canal are against and won’t recommend this procedure obviously because of competition.
So, instead of Root Canal therapy my son opted for LSTR. At first he was reluctant but after thinking of the savings, he consented. It was good that his tooth X-ray showed his tooth is still good and can be restored, otherwise, LSTR would not be applicable anymore.
The LSTR procedure did not take long. He was worried that there would be no good results because of the simplicity and brevity of the procedure. But after few days of observing, he was happy of the result. No more aching, no more discomfort no more tooth sensitivity.
After 2 weeks he returned to the dentist for permanent filling.
We paid the dentist the total amount of PHP2700 all in all which covers PHP2,200.00 for the LSTR plus PHP 500 for the permanent filling.
Not all dentist charge the same amount. I checked with two other dentists who also do LSTR and they both quoted higher amount. One charges PHP3000 while the other PHP5000.
Now the big question: For how long will the good effect of the LSTR last? I think I owe you an update sooner or later.

WARNING: JOGGING LEADS TO CHEEK SAGGING, CHRONIC KNEE PAIN AND MORE
Many people enjoy jogging. They usually run in the early morning to reap the benefits of early morning sunshine as well. Indeed it is one kind of exercise that can shed off unwanted pounds when done regularly for at least 30 minutes or so.
But wait, do you know that jogging is not actually a good exercise. While it can trim down your excess fats easily it can lead to some problems later in your life.
Firstly, jogging can lead to knee injury. Our knees support the weight of our body so we have to take extra care to keep them from harm. Jogging put so much pressure on knees so if we jog from day to day we are actually working toward disintegration of our knees. It is a fact that most of people don’t even have enough supply of vitamins and minerals to keep their bones strong so even if you are still young you have to avoid putting so much strain on your knees. As we age, our bones become brittle and our joints lose cartilage and at this point it is all the more not advisable to engage in jogging.
Running put so much pressure on our legs especially on our knee joints so that a jogger tends to suffer chronic knee pain later in his life.
Secondly jogging can cause cheeks to sag easily. While doctors and some others deny the truth of this, many regular joggers can actually prove with their own experience that it does really lead to cheek sagging. . So stop jogging if you don’t want to look older than your age. Doctors who belie this truth do not even jog so don’t believe them.
While there are other more bad side effects of jogging, I believe these two mentioned here are more than enough to make you quit. When you quit, it does not mean you should quit exercising all throughout. You just have to shift to another safer alternative. And what safer alternative is highly recommended? Well it is no other than brisk walking, the best exercise ever. With brisk walking you can still enjoy fellowship with your friends while enjoying the sunshine as well.

Sure Solution to Vaginal Dryness
myLot User Profile
Vaginal
dryness is one of the common issues among women especially those who are aging. This is due to hormonal changes that go with
old age, child-birth and breast-feeding.
But vaginal dryness isn’t just vaginal dryness it brings about more
serious problems such as painful intercourse and various vaginal infections.
But why have this trouble when vaginal dryness is just so easy to resolve. You
need not spend that much in going to your doctor so you could cure that
hormonal imbalance. You don’t even need to buy those expensive medicine and
food supplement that promise cure for this problem. Even the jellies and lubricants are but
temporary solution that doesn’t really cure the problem.
The
simplest and cheapest solution to vaginal dryness is Moringga Oleifera. In the Philippines it
is called Malunggay. In other places
they are known by the following names: Horseradish tree, Ben Oil tree, Benz
olive tree, West Indian Ben, and Drumstick tree. It has been called miracle vegetable because
of its very high nutritional content and ability to cure lots of health issues.
It
has been proven for many years that lactating mothers won’t run out of milk if
they regularly drink Moringga soup. This is a very old and proven fact. Well, Moringga is not just for lactating
women. It is also for all women who are suffering from vaginal dryness. Always
include malunggay in your daily diet. You may drink it as fresh juice with the
help of juicer or make it into soup (but don’t overcook). Fresh Moringga is always the best choice but
if not available in your place then take Moringa capsule.

The Most Nutritious Vegetable in the World
There is one miracle plant that grows easily in anyone's
backyard. Growing your own is actually almost effortless as this plant
grows with only minimal attention and caring. All you have to do is just to
give this plant some of your time. This plant is what we call Malunggay”
here in the Philippines,
and much well known as “Moringa or Horseradish” in English. To plant your own,
just simply cut mature stems from any Malunggay tree in your neighborhood.
(Please make sure you ask permission first from the owner.of course.) Then
plant and water them everyday. Soon you will see the planted stems sprouting
green young leaves and then later turning into healthy Malunggay trees
which will give you abundant supply of Malunggay leaves each day.
I can still remember the countless Malunggay plants in our neighbors’
backyard when I was a child. They usually harvest the leaves at night so they
could be prepared for the market the next morning. I was not really aware
of its health benefit. All I knew was my mother would always add Malunggay
leaves on her chicken "tinola" (a native chicken soup) and we
never fail to enjoy the soup each time without realizing we were being fed with
the most nutritious vegetable ever. Malunggay is used to be known only as
vegetable for lactating mothers and little did every one know that Malunggay is
not just for lactating mothers but for everyone who desires to be healthy all
their life.
Nowadays, Malunggay is no longer just an ingredient in tinola or lactating
mother’s vegetable but it has been discovered to be a very nutritious vegetable
which earned for it the title, "The Miracle Plant ". More
noteworthy is the fact that this vegetable does not only keep us healthy but
can also heal many kinds of illnesses. I myself have proven how
effective Malunggay has been. Daily intake of Malunggay soup actually
healed my arthritic pains. I would like to make it clear though that the
healing did not happen overnight. I you want to experience healing, you
have to consume Malunggay on a regular basis. In my case, I already made
drinking plain Malunggay soup as part of my daily morning habit and when I have
more time I also drink a cup before dinner time. My initial reason for doing so
was just to boost my health but after some few weeks of regular intake, aside
from giving me good skin, clearer eyes,regular bowel movement and stronger
immune system, I also got healed of my arthritic pains on my fingers and my
right knee. I used to complain about those early morning pains but did not take
any medicine to address this issue. Drinking plain Malunggay soup regularly
solved the chronic pain. Apart from this I myself have proven Malunggay
as very effective in maintaining a healthy blood pressure and the best cure for
constipation. Malunggay can also heal wounds. Just apply Malunggay extract to
the wounded part and do it till the wound dried up. I assure you, it will
definitely spare you from buying expensive wound ointment. Many people have
claimed to have been healed of their respective illnesses and even claiming
Malunggay as an anti-cancer vegetable. With the way Malunggay has been boosting
my immune system, I think I have no reason not to believe.
How to prepare Malunggay juice? Here is the simple step: Boil 2
glasses of water in a casserole. Add 2 cups or more of Malunggay leaves
to the boiling water. After one boil remove from the stove. Remove the leaves
with the use of a strainer and then take the soup as it cools down a bit and
drink like drinking your tea. You must drink the Malunggay soup immediately so
it will not taste bitter and to avoid losing the nutrients.
Now if you want a much improved taste, you can also add lemon grass while
boiling the leaves You can actually take as much as you can without any
fear of getting overdosed.
Those who do not have the patience of preparing Malunggay juice everyday,
has another alternative in Malunggay capsules. Different Malunggay
capsule brands are now in the market. You can also take capsule if you find
preparing Malunggay soup too time consuming or messy. I also took Malunggay
capsule for quite sometime but later I realized I could save if I would just
boil my own Malunggay soup. Besides, I found taking Malunggay soup more
effective because the amount of Maluggay in one capsule could not be as
much as the amount in my daily Malunggay soup.
Malunggay soup is a very cheap but very effective way
of of maintaining one's health. I am talking through experience. I have
been reaping its benefits for many years already and I am very thankful
to God that I discovered Malunggay. I am now contemplating on
writing a poem entitled “Thank you Lord for Malunggay”. Bow!
Don't Ever Overcook Broccoli
http://expertscolumn.com/content/dont-ever-overcook-broccoli
Do you eat broccoli? Well if you do then you should be happy because you are
giving your body a big favor. Broccoli
like all calciferous vegetables has been found to contain sulforaphane, an
effective anti-cancer agent. It has been
proven by studies that this is very effective in fighting against prostate and
colon cancer. Among all calciferous vegetables, broccoli and broccoli sprouts
have the highest amount of sulforaphane and hence it is the best choice of all.
Now that we know already this important fact we should also know that
cooking can destroy the power of broccoli to fight cancer. Actually overcooking any kind of vegetable is
not at all encouraged because cooking can destroy its nutrients. With broccoli it’s very important to
note why we should not. When we cook it
longer, we are actually destroying its
anti-cancer ingredient. In view of this fact, it is highly recommended to have
it half-cooked all the time to preserve the highest percentage of its
anti-cancer properties. Make sure it still retains its green color even
after cooking. Never ever let its color
to pale at all because if it does it is better to just feed it to the dogs.
Not only does broccoli loses its anti-cancer properties when we cook it longer
but it also loses its taste. Try eating an overcooked broccoli and you will
certainly not enjoy it at all. Always make sure the veggie is still green and
crisp to enjoy its taste even more apart from enjoying its nutritional
benefits.
So next time you cook broccoli always bear in mind to have it half-cooked to
get the best benefit. When you eat out never ever accept an overcooked
broccoli. If they do, you have the right to demand for a new serving or you
need not pay them at all.
