As modern medical research begins to discover the deep-rooted genetic and environmental origins of many chronic diseases and illnesses, researchers have began to realize the complexity of illnesses that plague mankind. One prevalent disease among humans is Asthma, a chronic lung disease that irritates and tightens the airways, resulting in reocurring periods of coughing, chest tightness, shortness of breath, and wheezing.

A computerized Axial tomography scan is medical equipment used to image different regions of a human body as well as other animals with internal health problems. A CAT scan uses the idea of conventional X- ray imaging to a higher standard. Instead of just taking pictures of the different body part of interest, the CAT scan takes multiple pictures of the body at many different angles and creates a three dimensional structure of the body. This three dimensional structures show’s a complete body components

Greek philosopher Hippocrates, in his text The Corpus Hippocraticum, in which asthma was first described as “the condition that
Top Health Benefits of Raw Milk Is raw milk healthy? Is raw milk safe to drink? For the past few years, there has been quite a bit of controversy surrounding raw milk. It 's understandable. After all, in today 's day and age, we live in an extremely sterilized environment where every germ is sought out and destroyed for fear of disease. The irony is that you actually can be too clean. Studies have shown that children raised in farm environments where they have regular exposure to multiple strains

Asthma Breathing is a vital process for every human. Normal breathing is practically effortless for most people, but those with asthma face a great challenge. During an asthma attack, breathing is hampered, making it difficult or even impossible for air to flow through the lungs. Asthma is an increasingly common problem, and has become the most common chronic childhood disease. At least 17 million Americans suffer from it(1), and although it can be fatal, it is usually not that severe(4). There

Throughout history there has been a need for alternative feeding methods for infants. Whether because of an issue with the mother’s milk supply or because of death of the mother, there have always been children that required the use of something other than their own mother’s milk.
