What is Spondylolisthesis?

Spondylolisthesis occurs when a vertebra in your spine slips out of position, causing it to rest in an abnormal position on the vertebra below it. Most often, this occurs in the lower spine, between the fourth and fifth lumbar vertebrae in adults, although spondylolisthesis can occur among two (or more) vertebrae anywhere along your spinal column.

Your Symptoms Depend on the Degree of Slippage

what is spondylolisthesisThere are varying grades of severity (from 1 to 5) with spondylolisthesis; grade 1 is the least severe, with less than 25 percent slippage, while grade 5 indicates the top vertebrae has fallen completely off the supporting bone below it (otherwise known as 100 percent slippage).

Depending on the grade, you may feel no symptoms at all, or you may have severe lower back pain, pain in your legs, thighs and buttocks, and even numbness, tingling, radiating pain or weakness in your legs, which are signs of nerve damage resulting from the pressure of your vertebra on your nerves. In the most severe cases, severe vertebra slippage from spondylolisthesis can cause Read More »

Common Household Appliance a Dangerous Infection Machine?

Did you know some of the most dangerous disease-causing bacteria may be hiding out in your vacuum cleaner?

All of the 21 vacuum cleaners tested by researchers released at least some fine dust, allergens and bacteria back in the air, according to a recent Environmental Science & Technology study.

It was no surprise that older vacuum cleaners — scientists tested models as ancient as 22 years — did more to pollute indoor environments than newer ones.

But it was a surprise that vacuums equipped with Read More »

… The Top Solutions, Causes, and Symptoms

Are Pesticides Harmful?

(Includes a Girl’s Shocking Science Project You’ve Got to See!)

It’s amazing that we still have to ask the question, “Are Pesticides Harmful?” According to a recent “talking heads” editorial comparing the pros and cons in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, however, the debate rages on as our environment worsens every day…

One side uses recent studies to show how pesticides “empower” farmers to grow far more per acre than they ever could as short a time as 40 years ago. The other extols the virtues of chemical-free farming as a practical way agriculture can save as much as $10 BILLION annually, and reduce the toxic load on all of our bodies. Read More »

Beware! Suppressed Drug Research is Out of Control

Putting You at Greater Risk

Suppressed drug research is running rampant, according to new data… and that puts YOU at grave risk! Even clinical trials funded by the federal government are shelved at the request of Big Pharma, according to recent reports from the British Medical Journal (BMJ) and Milwaukee-Wisconsin Journal-Sentinel.

So why do federal agencies protect multi-national drug companies at the expense of your health? Unfortunately, a morally corrupt system for testing, approving and marketing drugs sold over, under and behind the counter shields Big Pharma from a lot of scrutiny.

Once in a while, however, the cracks in the façade that is Big Pharma become all too noticeable to ignore. It all started just eight years ago… Read More »

The Top 5 Pancreatic Cancer Risks

Take These Steps to Prevent This Silent Killer

Consuming a small amount of processed meats can significantly raise your risks of pancreatic cancer, according to a meta-review of 11 studies encompassing some 6,600 patients by a Swedish research team.

10 Lifesaving Questions to ALWAYS Ask Your Doctor

doctor writing prescription

Do you really understand what your doctor is doing… and why?

Is asking your doctor questions rude?

Your doctor has years of schooling and experience. Some patients – and doctors – feel we should just do what we’re told and follow prescriptions without asking the doctor questions.

But the Institute of Medicine (IOM) estimates anywhere from 44,000 to 98,000 Americans die every year in U.S. hospitals due to preventable medical errors. This means, statistically, you’re more likely to die because your doctor Read More »
