Why does a sick person's body temperature rise at night?

When ill, your body has to fight the infection with antibodies. To speed up the production of these, the body heats up, as higher temperatures mean faster chemical reactions to do this, your body 'turns up its thermostat', and makes your body think that it is colder than it is, so your body heats up: it makes you fell cold, so you put on layers, turn up the heating e.t.c. (this is done by a small gland near the centre of the brain, the hyperthermos (not sure about spelling)). When asleep, you thermostat does not, like normal, cool down, but stays at the same level. 

So, at night, the body thinks it is cold, and cannot add layers (as you are asleep) so uses energy heating you up. This is one of the reasons that a sick person is often tired and hungry.

Going to the Dentist

Your teeth are an important part of your smile, and they also help you chew foods like crunchy apples or yummy pizza.
Brushing and flossing are important, but you also need to visit your dentist regularly to keep your teeth strong and healthy. Let's learn more about what happens at the dentist's office.

The dentist is a doctor who is specially trained to care for teeth. When you visit for a checkup, your dentist will look at your teeth and gums to check for any problems. The dentist also wants to make sure your teeth are developing properly as you grow.
It's important to visit your dentist every 6 months to make sure you're taking good care of your teeth and that your teeth and gums are healthy.


Healthy Body, Healthy Spirit

Western culture sends some strange messages about bodies, especially women’s bodies. They are to be thin but not skinny, toned but never sweaty, tanned but UV-protected, sexy but devoid of any signs of pregnancy. To make matters worse, as Ruth McGinnis points out in an article for TODAY’S CHRISTIAN WOMAN, our media role models employ armies of stylists to help them look perfect at all times. No wonder we’re tempted to look in the mirror and say, “Yuck!”

What does the Bible say about our bodies? How can we gain a godly perspective on beauty? Most important, how does our physical health relate to spiritual health? These are the questions we’ll explore in this study.


Why Do People Take Drugs in the First Place?

People take drugs because they want to change something about their lives.
Here are some of the reasons young people have given for taking drugs:
  • To fit in
  • To escape or relax
  • To relieve boredom
  • To seem grown up
  • To rebel
  • To experiment
They think drugs are a solution. But eventually, the drugs become the problem.
Difficult as it may be to face one’s problems, the consequences of drug use are always worse than the problem one is trying to solve with them. The real answer is to get the facts and not to take drugs in the first place.

HOW DO DRUGS WORK?

Drugs are essentially poisons. The amount taken determines the effect.
A small amount acts as a stimulant (speeds you up). A greater amount acts as a sedative (slows you down). An even larger amount poisons and can kill.
This is true of any drug. Only the amount needed to achieve the effect differs.
But many drugs have another liability: they directly affect the mind. They can distort the user’s perception of what is happening around him or her. As a result, the person’s actions may be odd, irrational, inappropriate and even destructive.
Drugs block off all sensations, the desirable ones with the unwanted. So, while providing short-term help in the relief of pain, they also wipe out ability and alertness and muddy one’s thinking.
Medicines are drugs that are intended to speed up or slow down or change something about the way your body is working, to try to make it work better. Sometimes they are necessary. But they are still drugs: they act as stimulants or sedatives, and too much can kill you. So if you do not use medicines as they are supposed to be used, they can be as dangerous as illegal drugs.

Organic and natural cosmetics

Organic and natural cosmetics are made from mineral pigments and organic plant extracts, which provide natural sun filters, long-lasting color and deliver a healthy-looking radiant glow. Unlike conventional makeup, none of these products contain any synthetic FD&C dyes (also known as synthetic colors), artificial fragrances or petro-chemicals, making them ideal for people with sensitive skin.

Fighting Cancer the Healthy Way


Lalania Hall was busy raising five sons ranging from age three to 11. She didn’t have time for herself, much less time for cancer. But in April of 2007, Hall was diagnosed with Stage IV breast cancer.
Under the care of Dr. Kimberly Blackwell, Hall’s oncologist at the Duke Cancer Institute, Hall began her regimen of chemotherapy soon after her diagnosis. Like many cancer patients, she experienced fatigue and aches and pains from the chemotherapy that left her lethargic and stressed.
“I have always been determined and tough, and my service in the Army made me even more disciplined,” explains Hall. “Before I was diagnosed with cancer, I had never asked for help, not even from my husband.”

Pathfinders Program

Recognizing the challenges Hall faced, Dr. Blackwell introduced her to Tina Staley and the Pathfinders Program in hopes that she would find a way to begin taking care of herself.
“I was scared, but I wouldn’t let anyone know,” says Hall. “Tina just held my hand. She has a way of connecting; you feel like she is walking through this with you. She can put your mind at peace.”
One of the first challenges that Hall and Staley addressed was Hall’s unwillingness to accept aid from family and friends.
“Tina helped me realize that it is OK to accept help,” says Hall. “She helped me realize that people don’t know exactly what to do, but they need to do something.”

Hall was able to ease her way into allowing people to help. She formed a team for the American Cancer Society, and her husband’s co-workers joined the team.
“Tina taught me that allowing people to help you is a gift to your friends and family,” says Hall. “My mom wanted to be there for me. I am her baby, and she needed to do something. Now I let her help.”

"In a Good Place"

Eight months after her diagnosis, Hall says that she is in a “good place.”
“I don’t want to say that cancer is the best thing that happened to me,” she says. “But because of Pathfinders, I am healthier than ever. I know that sounds crazy, but it’s true.”
Together, Staley and Hall have developed a plan that includes exercise, a new diet and stress-relieving activities.
“Soft belly breathing is awesome,” Hall says. “Even before my diagnosis with cancer, I had trouble sleeping through the night. Now, I am able to relax and settle things in my mind.”
According to Staley, there are many spices and foods that a cancer patient can add to his or her diet to help ease the effects of treatment. She suggested that Hall add turmeric, an anti-inflammatory, to her diet to help alleviate her aches, and garlic to boost her immune system.
Hall now receives treatment once a month and comes to Duke for scans every three months.
“Tina meets with me every other week,” says Hall. “If I need her in between times, she is there. I can call her or email. She is my advocate. Tina and Dr. Blackwell have been just wonderful. I call them my guardian angels.”
In the summer of 2007, Hall and her family had the opportunity to move from Durham, North Carolina, to Texas for her husband’s work, but they decided against the move.
“My husband and I talked it over, and we decided that we didn’t want to leave the care that we are receiving here at Duke,” says Hall. “I can’t imagine going through this without Duke and Pathfinders.”

Research Shows Positive Effects

Along with 54 other advanced breast cancer patients, Hall took part in a research study that evaluated the effect of the Pathfinders program on patient experience.
Despite advanced disease state and worsening symptoms, the Pathfinders program had a positive effect on a number of areas including patient distress, despair, and quality of life.
