WHAT A LIVER OUGHT TO KNOW ON HIS LIVER

Experiencing Liver Pain?

After reading this guide you should know how to:

§                     Eliminate Liver Pain Instantly

§                     Promote Overall Liver Health

§                     Reduce Liver Swelling

§                     Avoid Cirrhosis of the Liver

The liver is the body’s largest internal organ, and should be treated with care. Unfortunately, we can pick up bad habits that accumulate over time. When these habits reach a tipping point, we experience liver pain.

The important thing to note is that an internal organ does not experience pain per-se. Instead, the organ will get inflamed and stretch the surrounding tissues. This does cause pain. Sometimes even acute or sharp pain. What’s important is that we change our bad habits and allow our body to heal itself.

Before we get into the habits we should change, it is important to note that liver pain can be caused by a more serious medical condition, such as Hepatitis, HIV, or Diabetes. Because of this, the first step in eliminating liver pain is to contact your doctor. Only your doctor will be able to rule out any serious conditions that your body cannot heal on its own.

Steps to Eliminating Liver Pain:

Drink More Water – This step can work almost instantly, and there is no downside to trying it. People have reported instant relief aftedrinking water, but you should aim to stay hydrated before you run into any problems.

Stop Drinking Alcohol – Alcohol is one of the leading causes of liver damage and pain. Stop drinking for one month and see what effects this has on your pain levels. Besides, a month off alcohol will provide a welcome recovery period for your body.

Stop Taking Non-Essential Medications – Your liver has to filter every foreign drug you put into your body. While taking simple over-the-counter medications is not normally too taxing on the liver, this load can add up. If you can avoid anti-inflammatory drugs and other non-essential medications for a month, try eliminating them.

Start Walking – Walking 30 minutes each day will awaken the metabolic pathways in your muscles and stop insulin resistance. This one change could seriously affect your overall health, including liver function. Every time you pick up a cell phone, just start walking. I guarantee you’ll get 30 minutes per day from this one habit.

Cut out High-Glycemic Carbohydrates – Do a search for “Gylcemic Load Table”, and take a look at which foods are making you fat and destroying your health. The higher numbers indicate that a food gets into your bloodstream faster, causing a “blood sugar” spike and serious long term health problems (including obesity). Eat more foods with a lower number while eliminating foods with a higher number.

Take a Multi-Vitamin – If your body does not get every vitamin and mineral it needs to function, you will have problems sooner or later. By taking a multi-vitamin every other day, you ensure that each necessary building block is present in your body. Taking this supplement every other day will ensure that you are not overloading your liver with excess vitamins and minerals it must filter out.

Keep Talking to Your Doctor - If pain persists, make another doctor’s appointment to figure out the next course of action. There are only so many things you can do to heal you body. Sooner or later, you may need serious medical intervention or prescription medication to solve the problem.

If you can honestly do each of the steps above, your liver pain should be completely gone within a short time. Of course, each of these steps is significantly more complex than the space allowed in this article. There is just too much to list here. So I’ll give you a link below where you can get much more information on eliminating liver pain.

Explosions rock Libyan capital

Anti-aircraft fire lights up the night sky in the Libyan capital as government forces surround eastern town of Misurata.

Loud explosions have rocked the Libyan capital, Tripoli, for a third night as forces loyal to Muammar Gaddafi attempt to stop any new attack from an international military coalition enforcing a no-fly zone over the country.




Gunfire and anti-aircraft fire also lit up the sky late on Monday in and around the capital, where two large explosions could be heard about 10 minutes apart shortly after 9pm, Al Jazeera's Anita McNaught, reporting from Tripoli, said.




She said two naval bases just outside the city had reportedly been hit in the strikes.
"We could see an area of the port on fire, substantially on fire, two big blazes. We saw fire engines racing along the coastal road.




"This evening seems to have been about targeting seaborne military assets of Gaddafi's army, but also we are given to understand [there was] an attack on the airport at Sirte."
Mussa Ibrahim, a government spokesman, told a news conference that coalition bombardment had killed civilians in port areas and at Sirte airport, and bombarded the southern town of Sebha, a bastion of Gaddafi's Guededfa tribe.




Our correspondent said it was difficult to immediately confirm the government claims.
"We expect at some point if the casualties are as significant as the Libyans are assuring us they are, there will be some opportunity to verify that for ourselves," she said.
'Military aggression'

Meanwhile, international coalition forces reportedly struck radar installations at two air defence bases belonging to Gaddafi's forces in Benghazi in eastern Libya.
The developments came as the UN Security Council rejected a Libyan request for an emergency meeting to halt what it called "military aggression" by coalition forces three days after they began launching strikes aimed at disabling Libyan air defences

Meanwhile, international coalition forces reportedly struck radar installations at two air defence bases belonging to Gaddafi's forces in Benghazi in eastern Libya.
The developments came as the UN Security Council rejected a Libyan request for an emergency meeting to halt what it called "military aggression" by coalition forces three days after they began launching strikes aimed at disabling Libyan air defences The council decided instead to hold a briefing already planned for Thursday by UN secretary-general Ban Ki-moon on how the resolution that set up the zone to protect civilians in Libya is being implemented.




Despite the air strikes, forces loyal to Gaddafi have reportedly made gains and continue to fight on.

Libyan government spokesman Ibrahim said Misurata, Libya's third city 214km east of Tripoli, was "liberated three days ago" and that Gaddafi's forces were hunting "terrorist elements".




But a spokesman for opposition fighters in the city told the AFP news agency that the opposition remained in control despite an onslaught by Gaddafi loyalists, who he said opened fire with tanks and set snipers on roofs to gun down people in the streets.
"Casualties fell in their dozens," after snipers and a tank "fired on demonstrators", the spokesman said.




A medic in Misurata confirmed a death toll of 40 and said at least 300 people had been wounded.




The opposition spokesman said Gaddafi's troops "have taken up position along the main road where they have deployed three tanks, as well as positioning snipers on rooftops".
Western town bombarded
Gaddafi forces also reportedly bombarded the western town of Zintan for several hours before noon.




"Several houses have been destroyed and a mosque minaret was also brought down," Abdulrahmane Daw told the Reuters news agency by phone from the town.
"New forces were sent today to besiege the city. There are now at least 40 tanks at the foothills of the mountains near Zintan."




There was also fierce fighting further east in Ajdabiya. Opposition fighters were seen retreating in the face of an attack by government forces.
Al Jazeera's Tony Birtley, reporting from an area close to Ajdabiya, said there had been clashes outside the city.




"There's been heavy fighting and heavy shelling going on ... the rebels told me there have been heavy casualties and there are a number of corpses between here and the town [of Ajdabiya] that they have been unable to reach."




He said the road between the eastern city of Benghazi and Ajdabiya was littered with the "burned-out wreckage of what was Gaddafi's armour and tanks", destroyed in air raids by coalition forces.




Government troops retreated 100km from Benghazi, the opposition stronghold, after fierce strafing by coalition aircraft destroyed much of their armour AFP reported.

BJP woos with pledge of myriad solutions

Guwahati, March 21: The BJP today released its manifesto for next month’s Assembly elections in Assam with the promise of enacting strong laws to tackle corruption and infiltration, of opposing big dams and providing refugee status to Hindu migrants from Bangladesh.

Releasing the manifesto at Pragjyoti ITA Centre, Machkhowa, senior BJP leader Rajnath Singh sought votes for the party to unseat the ruling Congress. “Whenever the Congress has been in power, prices of essential commodities have increased because of largescale corruption and faulty economic policies of the party. If the BJP is voted to power, we promise to enact strong laws to take action against the corrupt and control the prices of edible items,” he said.

The Opposition party’s manifesto promised to provide good governance by setting up aLok Pal and use of technology to provide information under the RTI Act. It also pledged to set up a special investigation group to probe the multi-crore rupee scams in the state.

The BJP also played the election card by promising measures to stop infiltration from Bangladesh and detect and deport illegal Muslim migrants by updating the National Registrar of Citizens (NRC).

“The BJP considers the Muslims who entered the state illegally from Bangladesh after 1971 as infiltrators and the Hindus as refugees because the Hindus left that country and took refuge in the state because of the immense harassment meted out to them there,” Singh said in an apparent bid to woo the votes of Hindu migrants, who have been demanding a refugee status. “We will provide security to the refugees and put pressure on the Centre to equally distribute them in the country,” he added.

The party, which is fielding candidates in all the 126 constituencies, promised to vigorously protest against the construction of big dams.

The BJP also promised to initiate talks with any rebel group to establish peace and security. It, however, made no mention of the ongoing peace process with Ulfa.

The party promised employment, decentralisation of power, world class infrastructure, development of indigenous and tea tribes, welfare measures for genuine minorities, solution to floods and erosion, schemes for environment, agriculture, industry, health and education, land for the landless, development of sports and culture, welfare schemes for women and journalists and measures to tackle human trafficking.

Singh promised to put pressure on the Centre to take up the issue of the reported construction of a dam in south China to divert the Brahmaputra if the BJP was voted to power in the state.

He expressed confidence that the BJP would come to power and form the government on its own.

Didi’s day-by-day Bengal blueprint - Mamata drops candidates from list

Calcutta, March 21: Mamata Banerjee today dropped some candidates from her list for the Assembly polls.

Those dropped include Tarak Banerjee (Entally), Partha Pratim Das (Khejuri) and Mohua Moitra (Jalangi).

Tarak has been replaced by Swarnakamal Saha, the president of the Bengal Bus Syndicate. Tarak had said yesterday that he would not contest the Entally seat.

Trinamul sources said Mamata was “angry” with him for “breaking party discipline”.

Saha had not been named in the list of 228 candidates Mamata announced on Friday as his Bowbazar seat no longer exists.

Das, the Trinamul candidate from Khejuri, was dropped as he had been arrested the night before the list was announced. He has been accused in seven cases, including murder. Ranjit Mandal has replaced Das.

Das’s wife Lipika said district Trinamul leaders had informed her about the decision.

“I went to the office of the sub-divisional officer and came to know that any one can contest elections unless he or she is convicted in a criminal case. My husband has only been arrested, not convicted. This is a conspiracy against my husband and Mamata has insulted him,” Lipika said.

Mohua, the Trinamul candidate from Jalangi, has had to make way for Idrish Ali.

Ali was the Trinamul candidate from Canning (East) but the party today gave the seat to the Congress.

Doctor quit bid thickens Batcha plot

Chennai, March 21: The mystery over the death of A. Raja associate A.M. Sadhick Batcha simmered some more today with the doctor who conducted the post-mortem announcing his resignation from government service.

The Tamil Nadu government, though, was quick to reject Dr V. Dekal’s resignation citing a shortage of experienced forensic specialists.

Dr Dekal, 48, a forensic surgeon at the Government Hospital in Royapettah, told reporters his resignation had nothing to do with Batcha’s death on March 16. He said he had put in his papers on March 3 citing his decision to contest the April 13 Assembly elections as an Independent — a claim borne out by this paper’s enquiries.

The doctor added that since he had not been relieved, he was continuing in his job and had performed the autopsy on Batcha.

Police sources said Dr Dekal, who had indicated the final autopsy report might come out in a fortnight, was under pressure to go slow so that the results would be out only after the elections.

A health official alleged that Dr Dekal had “used (his desire to contest) the election as an excuse” to speed up his discharge from service, which normally takes at least three months. “In reality, he plans to move to a private medical college as a teacher.”

Dr Dekal denied he was running away from the case. He said any doctor who had conducted an autopsy was responsible for a case till it was wrapped up.

“Till my death, I am responsible and will do my duty and will appear in court whenever required,” he said.

Batcha, 44, was found hanging at his home in Chennai less than two hours before he was to fly to Delhi to appear for CBI questioning in the 2G row. Dr Dekal had conducted the autopsy on Thursday and pronounced that the preliminary findings showed he had died of asphyxia. clothes worn at the time of death,” a senior pathologist said.

“There was no need to detain the body at Apollo for more than an hour or to repack it. It is possible the body was cleaned, removing crucial body fluids secreted during death.”

Even if the clothing is found now, it would have been contaminated and cannot be used as evidence, he said

Dr Dekal had recommended further tests and sent the skin tissues and organs for examination. He is said to have insisted on seeing a video copy of the post-mortem that the police had recorded, but was apparently refused.

He had also asked for Batcha’s clothes that would have contained excrements crucial for the autopsy. Batcha’s clothing had been removed at Apollo Hospitals, where the body was wrapped in a white cloth before being sent for post-mortem.

“This is not the correct procedure. A body has to be sent for autopsy in the clothes worn at the time of death,” a senior pathologist said.

“There was no need to detain the body at Apollo for more than an hour or to repack it. It is possible the body was cleaned, removing crucial body fluids secreted during death.”

Even if the clothing is found now, it would have been contaminated and cannot be used as evidence, he said

“Vadra has 20% stake in Unitech, one of the telecom operators which benefited through the allocation of second generation mobile telephony spectrum by former union minister A Raja. He is the beneficiary of illegal payments generated through the spectrum scam and Commonwealth Games contracts ,” Swamy said.

“The prime minister had asked Chidambaram, then the finance minister, to sit with Raja and decide the price at which the second generation mobile telephony spectrum could be sold. The duo decided to sell spectrum at 2001 prices, causing huge loss to the government. Moreover, Chidambaram did not inform the prime minister about the decision till 2008,” Swamy said.
