Lifting weights has not given you hemorrhoids its just accelerated the problems they bring on left untreated they will not go away and more than likely with time get worse till they are painful and itch like the devil.

Today’s fast food diets are behind an awful lot of problems its okay once a week say but you must if you want to get rid of them change your diet around a little to a high fiber diet (Look below in the source area and you will find more info there)

You didn’t mention if you were drinking adequate amounts of water and by that I mean you should be drinking 2.6-3.6 pints of water per day and a little more if you live in a warmer climate,spread your water consumption out throughout the day.

Now the dreaded subject Exercise if you are not doing any sport then you should be at least going for a fast paced walk for 30-45 minutes every day,perhaps tie it in with your shopping.

If you do not want to go to your doctor again below at the address in the sources area you will find a lot of free help.I wish you a speedy recovery and healthy life. Peter

What is swine influenza?

Swine influenza, or “swine flu”, is a highly contagious acute respiratory disease of pigs, caused by one of several swine
influenza A viruses. Morbidity tends to be high and mortality low (1-4%). The virus is spread among pigs by aerosols,
direct and indirect contact, and asymptomatic carrier pigs. Outbreaks in pigs occur year round, with an increased
incidence in the fall and winter in temperate zones. Many countries routinely vaccinate swine populations against swine
influenza.

Swine influenza viruses are most commonly of the H1N1 subtype, but other subtypes are also circulating in pigs (e.g.,
H1N2, H3N1, H3N2). Pigs can also be infected with avian influenza viruses and human seasonal influenza viruses as
well as swine influenza viruses. The H3N2 swine virus was thought to have been originally introduced into pigs by
humans. Sometimes pigs can be infected with more than one virus type at a time, which can allow the genes from
these viruses to mix. This can result in an influenza virus containing genes from a number of sources, called a
"reassortant" virus.

Although swine influenza viruses are normally species specific and only infect pigs, they do sometimes cross the species
barrier to cause disease in humans.

What are the implications for human health?

Outbreaks and sporadic human infection with swine influenza have been occasionally reported.

Generally clinical symptoms are similar to seasonal influenza but reported clinical presentation ranges broadly from
asymptomatic infection to severe pneumonia resulting in death.

Since typical clinical presentation of swine influenza infection in humans resembles seasonal influenza and other acute
upper respiratory tract infections, most of the cases have been detected by chance through seasonal influenza
surveillance. Mild or asymptomatic cases may have escaped from recognition; therefore the true extent of this disease
among humans is unknown.

Where have human cases occurred?

Since the implementation of IHR(2005)

1 in 2007, WHO has been notified of swine influenza cases from the United States and Spain.

How do people become infected?

People usually get swine influenza from infected pigs, however, some human cases lack contact history with pigs or
environments where pigs have been located. Human-to-human transmission has occurred in some instances but was

limited to close contacts and closed groups of people.

Is it safe to eat pork and pork products?

Yes. Swine influenza has not been shown to be transmissible to people through eating properly handled and prepared
pork (pig meat) or other products derived from pigs. The swine influenza virus is killed by cooking temperatures of 160
°F/70° C, corresponding to the general guidance for the preparation of pork and other meat.

Which countries have been affected by outbreaks in pigs?

Swine influenza is not notifiable to international animal health authorities (OIE, ww.oie.int ), therefore its international
distribution in animals is not well known. The disease is considered endemic in the United States. Outbreaks in pigs are
also known to have occurred in North America, South America, Europe (including the UK, Sweden, and Italy), Africa
(Kenya), and in parts of eastern Asia including China and Japan.

What about the pandemic risk?

It is likely that most of people, especially those who do not have regular contact with pigs, do not have immunity to swine
influenza viruses that can prevent the virus infection. If a swine virus establishes efficient human-to human transmission,
it can cause an influenza pandemic. The impact of a pandemic caused by such a virus is difficult to predict: it depends on
virulence of the virus, existing immunity among people, cross protection by antibodies acquired from seasonal influenza
infection and host factors.

Is there a human vaccine to protect from swine influenza?

There are no vaccines that contain the current swine influenza virus causing illness in humans. It is not known whether

1.The first and most important thing you can do to avoid the swine flu is to keep your hands clean. Carry a small bottle of hand sanitizer around wherever you go. Be sure and wash your hands after touching any items such as doorknobs, hand rails and bathroom fixtures.

2. If an outbreak is announced in your town or city, avoid public places where people may be coming in and out from other cities. Bus terminals, airports and train stations should all be avoided if the swine flu is discovered in your region.

3. Should a major outbreak occur, purchase breathing masks and wear them any time while out in public. Be sure and purchase masks for your children and family as well.

4.Purchase supplements that provide support for your immune system such as selenium. While there is no guarantee that these supplements will protect you, should you catch this swine flu virus your immune system will need all the help it can can get.

All I got to say is good luck! I know I will be needing it! :-S

If that’s a valid concern, why not take it one more step: a lot of Americans frequent restaurants that employ Mexican workers, who might be in contact with people who have recently traveled to Mexico. So you should avoid all Americans.
