The toxins can be found or contained anywhere, one of which is contained in the tanaamn. She is known most 5 plants are poisonous. Many people do not know what plant contain toxins and can be dangerous to the body. There are 5 plants that are known to be the most toxic, namely:

1. Oleander
Nerium oleander subfamily oleander subfamily plants or plants is considered to be the most poisonous in the world. Because all parts of the plant contain toxins and is composed of several types of poison. But the most dangerous toxins are oleandrin and neriine, which are can be a powerful anesthetic on the heart. However this plant is often used as decoration and Mediterranean area originates from the high reached 1.8-5.4 meters.

If swallowing leaves containing these toxins will cause symptoms of diarrhea, vomiting, abdominal pain, drowsiness, dizziness, irregular heart rate as well as death. If the victim is rescued before 24 hours, then the chances of survival is high. Typically patients are encouraged to throw up with stomach pumping or taking any active charcoal to absorb toxins.

2. Water Hemlock
Water hemlock Cicuta maculata is a plant or a draw with white striped purple leaves and bear a child. This plant originates from North America with high reach 1.8 metres and thrives along the banks of the River, marshes, lowland and wet pastures. The toxins contained in this plant is called with the existing throughout the plant cicutoxin and most concentrated in the roots. These toxins cause seizures are stiff and painful, nausea, vomiting, cramps and muscle tremors (shaking). If a survivor of these toxins will usually suffer from amnesia.

3. Rosary Pea
Rosary pea plant Abrus precatorius seed or is seen with a beautiful combination of red and black, so it is often used for jewelry. This seed containing poison abrin and would be dangerous if the seed coat is damaged or scratched. Jewelry makers therefore more vulnerable than Thalia wearer. This plant can reach a height of 20 meters and spread throughout the country, especially the country’s tropical climate and sub-tropical. Poison abrin is more deadly than ricin, since less than 3 micrograms of abrin or not until one seed is pretty deadly. Symptoms of poisoning that arises is difficult breathing, fever, nausea, there is fluid in the lungs. If the seeds are ingested can cause nausea, vomiting, dehydration, kidney failure, liver and spleen. Death usually occurs within 3-5 days.

4. Deadly Nightshade
Atropa belladonna or Deadly nightshade contains atropine and scopolamine poison in the stems, leaves, berries and roots. This plant grows as high as 0.6-1.2 meters tall with dark green leaves and purple bell-shaped. The flowers will bloom in mid summer. Found only in some areas of the world. Toxins that can affect the nervous system. The dose is sufficient, the venom will paralyze the nerves of the muscle such as blood vessels, heart, and gastrointestinal muscles. Symptoms of poisoning arising is the pupil dilate or widen, more sensitive to light, blurred vision, headache, confusion and seizures. Swallow 2 of this fruit can kill a child, if 10-20 fruit can kill an adult.

5. Castor Bean
Castor bean plant also known as Ricinus communis is widely cultivated for castor oil and also as an ornamental plant. In fact this plant contains deadly toxins known as ricin. Once this plant is found in Africa, but now can be found all over the world. This plant grows well in arid areas and require no special care. Most ricin is concentrated in the seed layer, so consume this crop seed 3 can already switch off of a child. Symptoms of poisoning this seed is nausea, stomach cramps, vomiting, internal bleeding, the failure of the circulation and kidney. Addition of dust stuck to the seeds it can also cause an allergic reaction such as coughs, muscle pain and difficulty breathing.

When someone feels fear or faced with a dangerous situation, then the human body will undergo tremendous changes. Suddenly the body becomes stronger as the mighty Samson legend figures. It turns out there really is a hormone that triggers the body to be strong like a sudden Samson protagonist. So do not be surprised if suddenly in emergencies people can lift heavy goods if under normal conditions is not possible.

The secret is in the cooperation of two body hormones adrenaline (epinephrine) i.e. and noradrenaline (norepinephrine), which is the hormone that creates circumstances in order to help man to confront the dangers of readiness. So when a person feel afraid or faced with a dangerous situation the body will stimulate the hypothalamus, i.e., the areas in the brain that are responsible for maintaining a balance between relaxation and stress in the body.

When there is a warning of danger, the body sends signals to the adrenal glands to chemistry to activate the sympathetic system. They will then issue the adrenaline and noradrenaline. As quoted from Howstuffworks, Monday (5/7/2010) these hormones can simultaneously increase heart rate, rapid breathing, pupil dilate, slows the digestion of eyes and allows the muscles to contract more than usual.

The release of these hormones make the body more prepared to face the dangers, so make someone into a more agile, get more information as well as help someone uses more energy. The effects of adrenaline increase the amount of muscle mass and strength. Adrenaline also allows the muscles to work more powerfully than when the body in a State of neutral or quiet.

When the adrenaline is released by the adrenal medulla, the blood becomes easier to flow to the muscles which means more oxygen to the muscles so that brought the muscle can work at a higher level. Order the muscles attached to bones will be activated by electrical stimulation of the nervous system. When stimulated, the muscle contraction will shorten the time and the means to tighten muscles. It’s what makes a person could lift large goods or throwing punches.

Adrenaline also facilitate changes of glycogen into glucose which means providing additional energy to the muscles. This of course could strengthen the existing ones. Some theories indicate human only uses a small part of the strength of their muscles. But when faced with danger, someone could act with the power that goes beyond the limitations of the muscle.

Yogurt has long been known as the dairy fermentation which launched the process of digestion. And a recent study mention yogurt to prevent gastritis and stomach ulcers. Yogurt into a list of healthy foods for her a lot of calcium, protein, and other nutrients such as probiotics needed for health.

A clinical study in Japan recently mentioned that yogurt can combat bacterial causes of gastritis or inflammation of the stomach and ulcers stomach, Helicobacter Pylori, namely. This research was conducted at 42 people in a positive test for h. Pylori has. They are asked to consume two cups a day of yogurt or plain yogurt containing urease antibody for four weeks.

Research shows bring results h. pylori infection in humans can be reduced by drinking yogurt plus antibody. H. pylori, excessive use of aspirin and non-steroidal drugs a bitter taste indeed can cause inflammation of the stomach. While boils can be treated effectively with antiobiotik and acid suppressants or acid suppressant. Unfortunately, this simple regimen is not available widely in developing countries.

In this study, researchers found that h. pylori seems to rely on a hard stick to protein then infect the lining of the stomach. Because that’s the need of stimulation on the immune system to produce antibodies. Although the yogurt is not as effective as antibiotics to reduce the levels of h. pylori, but it’s much easier to come by and eaten on a daily basis as part of routine than taking medication.

Malaria is an infectious disease caused by infection of plasmodium parasites that invade the red blood cells. There are four species of plasmodium that is able to infect humans: plasmodium vivax, Plasmodium ovale and Plasmodium malariae, falciparum. Plasmodium falciparum is the most dangerous and can be life-threatening.

While attacking the parasite plasmodium malaria, human-shaped sporozit, which then will be heading to the heart through blood circulation and become adult in the place. Once mature, the parasite will invade the red blood cells. At that time, malaria symptoms begin to appear. When a person is bitten by a mosquito anopheles again, a parasite that exists in red blood cells that person will go back to the body of a mosquito and breed there. That’s the cycle happens over and over again.

The symptoms of the disease include high fever, feeling cold or stiffer on the whole body, shaking, excessive sweating out, limp, tired, headache, nausea, and vomiting. If left untreated, malaria can cause death. Malaria can be prevented and treated. Prevention of malaria can be done by avoiding mosquito bites, for example, sleeping with mosquito nets. Avoid out of the House at night without using protective because mosquitoes usually at night is more active.

Leukemia is a type of cancer. Cancer is a group of many related diseases. All cancers-cancers begin in cells, which make up the blood and other networks. Normally, cells grow and divide to form new cells when the body needs them. When cells grow old, they become dead, and new cells take their place. Sometimes this orderly process goes wrong. New cells form when the body does not need them, and old cells do not die when they should have died. Leukemia is a cancer that begins in blood cells.

Blood cells are formed in bone marrow (bone marrow). Bone marrow is the soft materials centrally from most of the bones. Blood cells that have not become mature (mature) are called stem cells (stem cells) and blasts. Most blood cells became mature in the bone marrow and then move into the vessel-veins. Blood flow through vessels-blood vessels and the heart of the so-called peripheral blood. The bone marrow to make different types of blood cells. Each type has a specific function:
- White blood cells help fight infection.
- Red blood cells carry oxygen to the tissues throughout the body.
- Platelets clot-helped shape the clot (BLOB-BLOB) blood which control the bleeding.

In people with leukemia, the bone marrow produces white blood cells are abnormal. The cells are abnormal leukaemia cells. First, the leukaemia cells functioned almost normally. In time, they may urge the white blood cells, red blood cells, platelets and platelet-normal. This makes weight for working on his blood.

AST (SGOT) and ALT (SGPT) are sensitive indicators of liver damage from disease types are different. But it should be emphasized that the levels of liver enzymes are higher than normal should not be automatically equated with liver disease. They may be or they are not that issues of the heart. The interpretation (exegesis) of level-level of AST and ALT rise depends on the entire clinical picture and so is best done by a physician experienced in evaluating liver disease. Appropriate levels of these enzymes does not correlate well with the extent of liver damage or prognosis. So, the level-the level of AST (SGOT) and ALT (SGPT) that right cannot be used to determine the degree of liver damage or predicting the future. For example, patients with acute hepatitis A virus may develop levels of AST and ALT-low levels are very high (sometimes in terms of thousands of units/liter).

However, most patients with acute viral hepatitis A recover fully without the rest of the liver disease. For an example that in contrast, patients with chronic hepatitis C infection are typically have only a small increase in the levels of AST and ALT. Some of these patients may have chronic liver disease develops silently as chronic hepatitis and cirrhosis.

High levels of AST and ALT are most high found with disorder-a disorder that causes the death of heart cells (extensive liver necrosis). This happens in conditions such as virus hapatitis A or B, chronic liver damage which clearly posed by such toxins from a drug overdose (excess doses) of acetaminophen (brand name Tylenol), and the collapse of the circulation systems of the old ones (shock) when the heart is deprived of fresh blood/revoked which carries oxygen and nutrients-nutrient. Level-serum AST and ALT levels in these situations can include anywhere from ten times the normal restrictions for up to thousands of units/liter.

Increases in liver enzymes of mild to moderate is common. They often unexpectedly found in the blood screening tests regularly on individuals that otherwise is healthy. Level-level of AST and ALT on cases of this kind usually exist between the two times the normal boundaries and several hundred units/liter.

The most common cause of rising-mild to moderate increase of liver enzymes are fatty liver (fatty liver). In America, causes fatty liver which most often is alcohol abuse. Cause-the cause of fatty liver including diabetes mellitus and obesity (obesity). Chronic Hepatitis C is also a significant cause of the increase in liver enzymes increase the-mild to moderate.

When circulating levels of blood glucose decreased, the brain actually fell. The brain then sends a message that triggers a series of events, including changes in hormones and the nervous system responses aimed at improving blood glucose levels. Expenditure and reduce the insulin hormone that promotes blood glucose levels are higher, such as glucagon, cortisol, growth hormone, and epinephrine all increased. As mentioned above, there are stores of glycogen in the liver that can be quickly converted into glucose.

In addition to biochemical processes that occur, the body begins to consciously remind people affected by the improper food by causing the signs and symptoms of hypoglycemia are discussed below.

Biochemical response in the body of hypoglycemia usually starts when the sugar is at an altitude / mid 70′s. At this point, the liver releases supply and inventory, the above-mentioned hormones begin to spoil. In many people, this process occurs without clinical symptoms. The amount of insulin produced is also meurun in an effort to prevent a further decline in glucose.

Although there is some degree of difference among the people, most will usually have symptoms that suggest hypoglycemia when blood glucose levels down to the mid 60s. The first set is called adrenergic symptoms (or sympathizers) as they relate to the nervous system response to hypoglycemia. Patients may experience any of the following:

- anxiety, sweating, very hungry, cold, weakness, palpitations, and often have difficulty speaking.

In most patients, these symptoms are easily recognizable. Most patients with this level of hypoglycemia experienced only if they are on medication or insulin. Patients (with diabetes or who have insulin resistance) with high circulating levels of fasting insulin or reduce their carbohydrate intake should also be commemorated drastically. These individuals may also experience hypoglycemia.

The body needs fuel to work. One source of fuel is the main sugar, obtained the body of what is consumed as simple sugars or complex carbohydrates. For emergency situations (such as long fasting), the body stores sugar as glycogen in the liver. If supplies are needed, the body running a biochemical process called gluco-neo-genesis (which means “to create a new sugar”) and changes to this provision, the stores of glycogen into sugar. Provisioning process is emphasized that the fuel source from sugar is important (important enough for humans to have developed an evolutionary storage system to avoid the dryness of sugar).

Of all the organs in the body, the brain depends on sugar (which we will now refer to as glucose) almost exclusively. Rarely, if absolutely necessary, the brain will use ketone-ketone as a fuel source, but it is not preferred. The brain can not make glucosenya own and depends on the entire body to supply. If for some reason, the level of glucose in the blood go down (or if the purpose of the increase in the brain and the demands are not met) can occur effects on brain function.

Hypoglycemia is a clinical syndrome resulting from low blood sugar. The symptoms of hypoglycemia can vary from person to person, as can the severity. Classically, hypoglycemia is diagnosed with low blood sugar with symptoms that disappear when the sugar level back to normal range.

While patients who did not have metabolic problems can complain of any symptoms that indicate low blood sugar, true hypoglycemia usually occurs in patients being treated for diabetes (type 1 and type 2). Patients with pre-diabetes who have insulin resistance may also sometimes have low blood sugars when their levels of circulating insulin is more challenged by prolonged fasting. There are other rare causes of hypoglycemia, such as insulin which resulting tumors (insulinomas) and certain medications. The cause of this unusual hypoglycemia will not be discussed in this article, which will mainly focus on the hypoglycemia that occurs with diabetes mellitus and its treatment.

Even with our advances in treating diabetes, hypoglycemic episodes are often the limiting factor in achieving optimal blood sugar control. In a large-scale study that takes into account the strict control in both type 1 and type 2, low blood sugar occur more frequently in patients who master the most intensive. It is important for patients and physicians to recognize it, especially as the goal for treating patients with diabetes to control blood sugar-Asien more stringent.

If you are having headache because of migraine, it is possibly due to lack of proper food. This problem can be overcame with proper diet. Most of the triggers of migraine attacks are certain foods, such as red wine, caffeine, cheese, and oranges. Types of foods that contain vaso-active amines that can enlarge the blood vessels, causing a migraine for some people. In many cases, migraines are caused by chemical reactions in comparison with allergic reactions. However, in a minority of patients, the main triggers of food allergies.

Sometimes migraine triggers is also derived from a combination of various factors, such as stress, fatigue, PMS (premenstrual syndrome) and hungry, or certain foods. To avoid this, the British Migraine Association suggested to prevent blood sugar levels decrease as the distance between separate meals. Eat a little, but often. Avoid foods that are sweet, like chocolate. Instead, choose vegetables and fruits. In addition there are good eating snacks late at night to prevent migraine attacks in the morning. Do not be late for breakfast.

If migraine attacks associated with menstruation, avoid foods that cause the week before the menstrual period. If you have a habit of drinking red wine, replace with high quality. Research shows that a very expensive red wine can reduce attacks. For those who experience migraine attacks frequently occur in the morning, you should eat a light snack before bedtime.
