Affected individuals often feel too tired to perform routine daily tasks, and things that once brought pleasure soon become an effort.

Chronic fatigue is often compared to a long, incurable hangover, with common symptoms including profound weakness, inability to concentrate or focus, listlessness, aches and pain. And while a couple of aspirin and a good night’s sleep will cure a hangover, people with CFS often suffer these symptoms with little relief.

The natural appearance of the cartilaginous structure of the external ear is pink and feels flat when touched. Any thickening indicates presence of an infection. You should be able to see the ear canal clearly. While a small amount of discharge and wax is natural, any abnormal accumulation of debris or a foul odor indicates an infection. A yellow discharge points towards yeast infection and a black debris indicates dog ear mites.

Vinegar diluted in an equal amount of water is a safe home remedy that can be used to remove excess debris from the ear. Put in a few drops and allow your dog to shake his head (which he will do). This will loosen the wax to a large extent. Then remove the debris with a cotton swab wrapped around your finger, pushing it as deep in the ear as you can. Repeat the process till the inside of the ear is clear.

Don’t use vinegar if there are any open sores in the ear. A garlic pod soaked overnight in olive oil works well in such cases. Remove the garlic and put five to six drops in the ear, twice daily for 7 to 10 days. This will also help in refurbishing the animal’s immune system.

Ear mites are contagious and can pass on from one pet to another. Dog and cat ear mites live their entire life on the host and can cause severe inflammation. Any natural oil block the breathing pores of mites and kill them. A half ounce almond oil and vitamin E mixture is one the most useful home remedies for ear mites. It works in a manner similar to the vinegar- water solution. Just pour a few drops in both the ears. The dog will shake his head. You can then clean the ear with a cotton swab.

Some breeds have long ears. This prevents a free flow of air and prevents the inside of the ear to remain dry. Moist wax is a sure invitation for mites and infections. Too much hair in the ears can trap dust and dirt causing infections. It is important to remove hair in the ears periodically so that a hygienic environment is created. Apply dog ear powder ensuring that the base of the hairs is properly covered. Once the powder dries you can start pulling out hair with your fingers or tweezers. Since this can be irritating to the dog, pluck only a few hairs at a time and stop for a while before starting again.

Ear cleaning should be integral to regular grooming of pets. This will go a long way in detecting early signs of infections that may be developing. Your keen observation and timely action can make life comfortable for your loving pet.

After the age of 30, the prostate cells in men start multiplying resulting in the gradual growth of the prostate gland in men. The reason behind the rapid multiplication of the cells is the conversion of one hormone into another more powerful hormone as age advances.

An improper and ‘bad for prostate’ diet causes the deficiency of certain elements and the consequences of the deficiency are unrestricted growth of the gland. For example, zinc can help in curbing the conversion of the hormones, thereby controlling the multiplication of the prostate cells. If your diet does not contain food that can supplement zinc in the body, your prostate may start giving you trouble sooner rather than later.

The industrial age has brought about a paradigm shift in man’s diet. From a natural plant based diet and meat products, man has shifted to oily and fried foods that contain complex carbohydrates. In fact, the major cause of most of human ailments is diet - a diet that is either insufficient or one that has an excess of harmful substances like additives and preservatives.

Along with a prostate friendly diet, herbs for limiting prostate enlargement have always been an important part of controlling and treating prostate conditions.

* Saw palmetto is one of the herbs that have been added to the US pharmacopeia as an effective remedy for numerous diseases including BPH (Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia), a non-malignant enlargement of the prostate gland. The herb is derived from the berries of the dwarfish plant originated in America. Studies have revealed that men who take saw palmetto show a marked improvement in the symptoms caused by an enlarged prostate gland. Saw palmetto berries were once a staple diet of natives of America. Now saw palmetto is available in the form of teas, dried berries, capsules, tinctures and sterol extracts.

* Tea made from pygeum, an evergreen African plant commonly known as African prune, has been in use for ages to manage urinary symptoms of an enlarged prostate gland, like a slow stream, pain on urination and dribbling. The bark of the pygeum plant has been studied by scientists and has been found to be rich in beta-sito-sterol, a 5 alpha-reductase inhibitor. Studies conducted in Germany and France purport an improvement in prostate related symptoms ranging from 38 to 66%.

* Another herb from Africa comes from the African star grass (Hypoxis rooperi), which contains the same enzyme inhibitor as that of pygeum.

* Nettle root (Urtica dioica) is a European herb that contains sterols that offer relief from urinary problems.
One of the surprising remedies that may form a part of herbal or diet solutions for enlarged prostate glands is pumpkin seeds. Pumpkin seeds are rich in zinc, an element essential for blocking conversion of prostate related hormones.

An enlarged prostate brings along with it symptoms that can be extremely uncomfortable in men. They can create multiple urinary problems that may become difficult to cope with advancing age. The prostate is one of the important organs and men should not ignore any prostate related problems.

A laxity in taking your prostate may result in a life long treatment, forcing you to take prostate medicine all your life.

We cannot live without our blood circulating throughout our body. The heart acts as a pump, keeping our blood flowing to our lungs to get oxygenated, and then carrying it to our organs, then carrying de-oxygenated blood from our organs back to the lungs to get oxygenated again. When circulation is compromised, oxygen does not reach all of the organs and areas it needs to, and our system can falter.

Cholangitis, and Hepatic Lipidosis, the two most common types of feline liver diseases, can lead to liver failure if they are not treated in time.

Cholangitis is an inflammation of the bile ducts and is associated with the feline leukemia virus as well as feline infectious peritonitis. The conventional treatment regime includes antibiotics, appetite stimulants, corticosteroids and other immunosuppressive drugs.

Hepatic lipidosis, or Fatty Liver Disease is abnormal levels of certain fats that accumulate near the liver. It is an idiopathic disease (a disease whose exact cause is not known) that is mostly associated with loss of appetite and obesity. Stress, too is known to be one of the factors that leads to loss of appetite.

Cats usually find it difficult to adjust to a changed environment like shifting to a new home, arrival of a new kitten. They get stressed even when the owner is stressed. There are chances of Fatty Liver Disease occurring due to Cholangitis, inflammation of the pancreas as well as a hepatic tumor.

The exact diagnose a liver disease dogs and cats is through a biopsy. Cats with Fatty Liver Disease are an anesthetic risk and a sample is normally taken with the aid of a fine percutaneous or laparoscopic needle. Hepatic Lipidosis needs to be attended to immediately to avoid liver failure. Severe cases require hospitalization and critical care. Cat owners would rather prefer outpatient care but it requires perseverance and commitment to succeed as there are no specific home remedies that will cure the disease.

The first and foremost item on your agenda should be to modify the diet of your cat. Although the veterinarian is the right person to suggest the change, choose a high protein diet with high calorie intake sourced from non-protein sources. Consult your veterinarian also for the quantity and the frequency of feeding.

Symptoms of liver disease in cats and dogs are often difficult to pin point. In most cases, the disease is diagnosed late. Vomiting can prove to be a big problem if Fatty Liver Disease has progressed to later stages. It may require surgical insertion of stomach tubes for feeding and home care. Make food of gruel consistency and force it down the food through the tube. You may add some fish oil to the food. Start with small quantities every four hours and gradually increase the quantity and decrease the frequency.

Although 36 cc of food is enough to sustain life in the cat, it would require more than that to help in growing and healing. For administered fluids you may initially require the assistance of a veterinarian but if you try hard enough you can learn and do it yourself.

Prognosis of both the conditions is fair but only with persistent care and regular monitoring. Another home care that you may try is to give your undivided attention and love to the cat for a couple of hours every day. If the cat is refusing food due to stress of some sort, it will help in curing anorexia, considered to be the primary cause behind liver failure in cats.
