A Complete Guide to the Use and Abuse of Steroids
There are innumerable potential problems with steroid use. High
dosages and long-term use of anabolic steroids can lead to liver
cancers and tumors, failure of liver due to jaundice and resultant death.
It also causes retention of fluid in your body. It increases cholesterol
levels in your body which leads to heart attacks, heart ailments and
high blood pressure. Your kidneys could shrivel, resulting in kidney
cancer. Acne can develop on your face and other parts of your body.
Your nervous system becomes weak and your hands and legs tremble
which makes you feel weak and prone to strokes.
There are many more consequences of steroid intake. Men find their
testes shrinking and their sperm counts drop, leading to infertility
problems. They become bald and could develop prostate cancer. Men
also experience the development of excess breast tissue.
Women also experience many masculine features like growth of facial
hair, deepening of voice and developing baldness. Most women
develop serious problems with their menstrual cycles with many not
having them for six to seven months. Their uterus may shrink; the
clitoris enlarges causing many fertility problems.

Take Control of Alcohol
The following facts are very disturbing:

Alcoholism is the cause of death of about 100,000 people a year
in the U.S.A..
The U.S.A. Federal Government spends around $166 billion on
the indirect and direct health costs of alcoholism.
The health of up to half of the adult U.S. population is affected by
alcohol, causing it to be a leading factor affecting the health of
the nation.
Alcohol lowers our body’s resistance and immune system, so
alcoholics contract infections like bacterial pneumonia relatively
easily and this leads to more complex, dangerous and expensive
medical problems.
Alcoholism is an uncontrollable desire for alcohol which leads to
serious physical, emotional, and social problems.
Alcoholism is also a major factor in serious motor vehicle
accidents, relationship problems and break-ups, assaults and
even suicide.
Alcoholism is on the rise among teenagers and even younger
children.

Cancers

Dealing with Prostate Cancer
Prostate cancer sends chill down the spine of anyone who either has
the disease or knows someone who does.

It's one of the most pervasive cancers and in fact, is second only to
skin cancer for cause of death by cancer in American men.

We usually think of prostate cancer as a disease for "old men." The
truth is that it is found in men as young as 50.

Well, with the graying of the baby boomers I defy you to call them
"old." In today's world guys are just hitting their middle age stride at
50!

One of the biggest challenges is that prostate cancer is slow to grow
and even slower to be diagnosed. The primary symptoms are urinary
problems that we usually don't consider serious.

Nothing could be further from the truth. Getting the answers about
diagnosis and treatment is a must do for any guy who is 50 or older. If
you have a loved one who falls into that category get your guy the
answers to the questions he doesn't even know to ask.

youngsters, men and women alike. Urinary incontinence is mainly due
to infections in the urinary tract and other problems associated with
the urinary system. The normal approach to such incontinence
problems is bladder training. Kegel exercises and simple medications
also provide relief from incontinence problems.
