Major Head & Neck Cancer
Most head and neck cancers begin in the cells that line the mucosal surfaces in the head and neck area, e.g. mouth, nose, and throat. Mucosal surfaces are moist tissues lining hollow organs and cavities of the body open to the environment.
Head and Neck cancers include tumours above the level of the collar bone (excluding the brain and eye). They are made up of cancers of the mouth, throat, voice box, sinuses and ear and neck (SCCHN).
Cancers of the head and neck are further identified by the area in which they begin:

Baby Food Allergies - All You Need To Know
In recent year we have seen an increase in the susceptibility of allergies. Baby food allergies are of particular concern as the source may be difficult to detect.
Baby food allergies are as common as adult food allergies.
If your baby appears distressed for no apparent reason or has unexplained areas of itchiness to the skin, then perhaps he or she has a baby food allergy.
What is an Allergy?
An allergy can be defined as an intolerance to a particular substance when touched, inhaled, injected or ingested.
When our body is exposed to a substance that causes an allergic reaction the response may be nasal or respiratory congestion, itchy or runny nose, watery eyes, diarrhea, or itchy rashes anywhere on the body.
Baby Food Allergies - Can My Allergies be Passed on to my Baby?
If you tend to have an allergic reaction then your baby may have a tendency to be allergic also.
However you and your baby may not share the same food allergies or be allergic to the same substances.
You may have asthma, while your child may develop hay fever.
Baby Food Allergies - How to detect them
It can sometimes be difficult detecting the cause of baby food allergies. If you think your infant has a baby food allergy, eliminating the following products from their diet may help.
o Milk and dairy products
o Eggs
o Nuts
o Shellfish
o Citrus Fruits
Once you have eliminated each of these food groups from your baby's diet, you can begin to reintroduce them gradually one by one.
Wait a few days before the introduction of an additional food group and do not mix food groups.
If your baby has a baby food allergy you be able to detect it by monitoring his or her reaction to the introduction of these individual food groups.
Baby Food Allergies - Can they be prevented?
Breastfeeding your baby for the first six months of his or her life helps to reduce the incidence of allergies earlier on in life.
Try to avoid giving your baby pre-prepared foods that contain additives, or tinned or packaged foods.
Baby Food Allergies - When are they Most Likely to Occur?
Baby food allergies can occur at any time. Many babies are allergic to, or have an intolerance to cows milk and your baby may develop an allergy to other milk or wheat products, shellfish, nuts or citrus fruits.
If your baby has an allergic reaction after eating a particular food, you should see the signs within an hour.
Baby Food Allergy - Signs to Look For
The symptoms of a baby food allergy could include swelling or itchiness of the lips or tongue, wheezing or a skin rash.
Some babies may develop an intolerance to particular food groups.
If your baby has a food intolerance, symptoms might include diarrhea, vomiting, stomach pain, colic or wind.
Treating Baby Food Allergies
As long as you can find the cause, then the best way to treat a baby food allergy is to refrain from giving your baby that particular food.
If your baby is experiencing related symptoms then the allergy could be pollen related rather than a baby food allergy. Non food substances that could also cause an allergic reaction include pet hairs, tobacco smoke, feather pillows, perfume or dust mites.
Baby Food Allergies - Healthy Alternatives
If your results indicated that your infant is experiencing baby food allergies, here are some non allergic foods that you can try introducing into their diet.
o Mangoes, apples, grapes
o Barley, oats, rye
o Cauliflower, carrots, sweet potatoes
o Chicken, salmon
If in any doubt you should seek professional help to determine whether it is a baby food allergy or something more serious.
Baby food allergies are quote common and with a little work are fairly easy to detect. Once you have detected the source of your baby's food allergy, the simplest way to eliminate the symptoms is to remove the cause.

Bad Breath May Be Caused by Sinus Problems
Chronic bad breath, which is also known as halitosis, may accompany a sinus problem. If you have a constant sinus problem, or post nasal drip, the mucus that is produced from this condition runs down your throat and accumulates in the back of your throat and on the back of your tongue. This is one place where the bacteria on the back of your tongue produce plaque. Plaque production causes bad breath.
With a post nasal drip you generally have a thick phlegm in your throat. This phlegm may be infected. Your throat is usually kept moist by secretions from the nasal area and mucous glands in that area. When the liquids that keep your throat moist are reduced then the fluids thicken, and we become aware of this thick goo.
When we notice this thick material, we try to get rid of it by coughing, or even spitting it out. While it's accumulating on the back of your throat and tongue the anaerobic bacteria that live there begin to multiply and produce the foul odors that cause bad breath.
The trick then is to get rid of your sinus problem, which may give you relief from your foul breath condition.
One way to get relief from a post nasal drip is by using a spray. Look for natural nasal moisturizers, ones without additives. Beware of sprays with additives or preservatives. Some of these reportedly make the condition worse and can contribute to nasal congestion coming back. One additive to avoid is benzalkonium. Be sure to read the label when you're looking at moisturizing sprays for your throat or nose.
Clean your nose for sinus problem relief
Here's a way you can clean your nose out with salt water. You will need to have some salt, some water, and a small infant aspirator. Just dissolve a half a teaspoon of salt into 8 ounces of warm water. If you have high blood pressure use less salt. Draw the water into the aspirator and place the tip into one nostril. Tilt your head back so that your nose is straight back and the aspirator is pointing straight back into your nose, so that its parallel to the floor. And then gently breathe in through your nose to pull the water into your nostril.
I know this may be uncomfortable, especially the first few times. As you practice you'll become used to it. Do this with the other nostril and spit the water out. You may need to do this a couple of times to get relief. Then when you're finished, thoroughly blow your nose to remove any water. You may have to do this two or three times a day for several days to get relief.
An alternative is to gargle with warm salt water, this will help clear the throat of all the mucus that's accumulated there.
Foods Involved With Sinus Problems
Spicy hot foods may be the cause of chronic problems with your sinuses. If you're suffering from a post nasal drip, try to avoid hot peppers and spicy foods. Try it for a few days, and test whether you can feel a difference in your sinuses and your breathing. Also check your breath!
The production of mucus is stimulated by dairy products. Dairy products contain lactose, which is a sugar. This lactose is a nutrient for the bacteria in your throat and in your in your intestinal tract. If you have too much lactose it can have an adverse affect on your gut and even on your immune system. I discuss lactose in more detail in my article about how your diet can affect your breath, which you can find on my website.
Bad Breath and Tea
Tea can be used to get relief from sinus problems. Hot tea is known to stimulate the movement of the little hair-like structures (cilia) that are at the back of the throat, helping to reduce post nasal drip. This may be why chicken soup is so effective. One reason this helps is that it washes away the mucus from the back of your throat into your stomach, where it gets broken down. And the bacteria in the mucus will be destroyed by the actions in your stomach.
Keeping Things Moist
Medications may make your nose dry out. Especially if you're taking a large number of them. One way to alleviate this is to use a moisturizing spray or humidifier.
A humidifier can be a great help especially during the winter. This helps keep everything from drying out and getting thick. Using distilled water in the humidifier keeps impurities out of the air. It's also a good idea to clean your humidifier about once a week, using water mixed with a little bit of white vinegar. The white vinegar kills mold and mildew that can accumulate in the humidifier.
A Remedy From the Sages of India
This last suggestion comes from the yogis of India. They use a neti pot. It looks like a small teapot with a long spout, and it holds a few ounces of water.
Here's the way to use a neti pot. First put some warm water and a pinch of salt in the neti pot. Start with a very little bit of salt and as you use the neti pot continue to increase the salt until you feel a slight sting when you do the process.
Do this over a sink. Tilt your head sideways and put the spout in one nostril and slowly pour until all the fluid in the pot has drained out the other nostril. Make sure you tilt your head sideways so that the nostril that you are draining is on the bottom.
Refill the pot, and do the same thing with your other nostril. It may take a little bit of practice. Then blow your nose through both nostrils.
Here is a video demonstration of using an neti pot on YouTube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8KOsNtpV8w
If you're struggling with sinus problems and bad breath, it may be the sinus problems that are causing your breath condition. I've outlined a few of the ways that you can take care of your sinus problems here. Test a few of them now. Always consult with your doctor if you're not sure which one to do or if you're taking any medications, or if you think you sell have some kind of illness.

Post Nasal Drip and Bad Breath - What You Could Be Doing Wrong
Post Nasal Drip, or PND, is often the result of an infected sinus cavity. When the sinuses become irritated and inflamed, the cilia in the nose and throat, part of the body defense mechanism, slows down and mucus becomes thick. It drips into the throat where it becomes very difficult to pass. When mucus lays stagnant, especially in the presence of an infection, the mucus can also become infected and irritating to the throat. The body's natural solution is to try and clear the throat over and over of the phlegm and is exactly the wrong thing to do.
Mucus is comprised of dead cells which are very rich in protein. This provides a very desirable food supply to the anaerobic bacteria in your mouth which is the beginning of the digestive process. As the bacteria breaks down the protein into amino acids, they release what is called a volatile sulfur compound (VSC) which is the essence of bad breath.
Because post nasal drip alters your sense of taste and smell, it can be nearly impossible to know whether you have succumbed to having bad breath. More often than not, if you have the occasional problem of being unable to clear your throat, you probably suffer from post nasal drip and the halitosis which is often associated with it.
There are a few solutions to post nasal drip that you can try in your home.
1. Try mixing 4 cups of boiling water with one cup of vinegar in a large mixing bowl. Put your face over the bowl and breathe the steam in. The combination of steam and vinegar concentrations will help clear out the nostrils and kill bacteria at the source. Usually, the steam will only last for about 10 - 15 minutes and can be repeated every 2 - 4 hours as needed.
2. Make a saline nasal wash by combining warm water, deionized salt, and a small amount of baking soda. Squirt into each nostril using a squirt bottle, infant aspirator or any other device that can be exerted with pressure until the wash comes out of the other nostril. This often helps break down mucus pools while killing bacteria.
3. Always finish your oral hygiene routine by scraping your tongue with a tongue cleaning tool to help eliminate bad breath bacteria at the source.

Top 10 Things I Wish I Would Have Known Before Going to Delivery
1. Don't waste time buying a nice outfit for the hospital. After women give birth, they bleed (like a heavy period). I was much more comfortable in the hospital gown and those undergarments they give you to wear. It is so much easier.
2. There is a pretty good chance you may go number #2 while pushing the baby out! This certainly isn't something to be embarrassed about, it happens naturally when you are bearing down.
3. Don't plan on sleeping while you are in the hospital. Nurses are in and out at all hours. If you're nursing the baby, they will bring her/him in to nurse, etc. Don't be annoyed. Their job is to take care of you and your new little gift, let them.
4. You are charged for all the stuff that is under the baby in the hospital bassinet! I didn't know this the first time. However, the second time around, I took everything I could, including diapers, blankets, nasal aspirator (AKA "The Boogie Sucker"), the water jug, etc. If I am paying for it, I am taking it!
5. You might be modest before you go into the hospital, but it is a good idea to shed it before you check in. Everyone comes to check your "Belly" every hour or so, no shame left at all! Don't be embarrassed, they do this everyday. In addition, their job is to take care of you and your little one on the way, so let them!
6. Although things can get pretty uncomfortable, it all melts away once you see your baby. All the pain is worth it when you hear your baby's first cry and hold them for the first time.
7. Try not to have expectations when you go into the hospital to deliver. Don't have your mind set on having/not having an epidural, giving birth naturally, having a c-section, etc. Remember, it doesn't matter how the baby gets here, as long as it's healthy.
8. I wish I had known to tell friends not to come to the hospital - you are there such a short time and you need all the sleep and help from the nurses you can get!!!! You'll have the rest of your lives to show off your new addition.
9. Use the nurses for all the knowledge that they have. Nurses do this everyday, all day. Therefore, use them for their knowledge. Ask them to show you how to correctly change the babies diaper, give them a bath and feed them. Even if this is not your first child, get a "refresher" course. If there is something that you forget to ask, call them!
10. If you are nursing, ask to meet with a lactation nurse. These nurses specialize in making both mommy and baby successful in breast-feeding. In addition, you may want to ask for some breast shields to take home with you. If you are not nursing, as the nurses the best way to help you feel comfortable when your milk comes in and drying up.

Newborn Baby Gift Ideas
Finding the perfect gift for a newborn can be difficult. It's not like there isn't millions of things to choose from. The problem is the majority of baby showers are filled with baby gift baskets usually pre-made and filled with oodles of toys, baby clothes, bottles and bibs. Now don't get me wrong, any parent will definitely need to purchase these things, but a good portion of these are usually not needed right away. Instead of the usual gift basket, think outside of the box. What are they going to need in those first precious months...besides sleep of course!
Diapers: I realize diapers are an obvious answer and although they may be dull to give, there are many ways to spruce it up! Any mom will be thankful for diapers due to the fact that they are expensive! You can arrange diapers into a decorative diaper cake using ribbon, bows and more. A lot of times people use a couple small stuffed animals for a cake topper. There are numerous guides online which show step by step instructions on how to assemble a diaper cake. You can also by them pre-made if you do not want to assemble it yourself, although that may be more expensive. Another idea is to find a stylish diaper bag that you know mom will adore and fill it with diapers! You could even pick up a couple tubes of diaper rash cream and wipes and hide them in the pockets as well, because these are also needed items that tend to be overlooked until you realize you don't have them.
Nursing Products: Casually check with mom first since not everyone breast feeds, but if she is going to be nursing you can pick up things like nursing bras, nursing pads or even if you can afford it a breast pump. Cute or decorative nursing shawls are great ideas also for mom. I also would recommend storage bags or containers for breast milk and Gerber even carries warm or cool relief pads as well. These are great ideas that not everyone will think to pick up!
Baby Monitors: A nice set of baby monitors always make an excellent gift for parents. They are a reliable way to check on your baby without waking them. In this day and age you can even purchase video baby monitors so you can check up on the baby anytime without going near their room! A great way to put any parent to ease knowing their newborn is sleeping safe and sound.
Humidifier: A humidifier is a great gift for anyone in general but especially for a baby. So, why get a humidifier? Well, The National Institute of Health recommends the use of humidifiers to help relieve congestion from the common cold, flu and sinus infections. Any time you have congestion, a humidifier may be able to help. They add moisture to the air which will in turn moisten your skin (including nasal passages) and thin some of the mucous in your sinuses. This makes it easier for you to breathe and easier for the mucous to drain. Since babies are more prone to picking up coughs and colds, this makes an excellent gift! A brand named Crane even makes them shaped like adorable animals like penguins, pigs, frogs and more!
Baby Care Package: This is the best thing you can do for any soon to be parents. The things no one ever seems to get, are the things you absolutely need the most. Create a care package or basket including common medicines for babies such as diaper rash ointment, infant Tylenol, baby orajel, cold medicine, no tears shampoo and more. Find things like pacifiers, a thermometer, nasal aspirator or a medicine spoon. These are a big hit. I have always done this for friends because I know this is what is needed and every time I have been told it was the best gift they received because they just did not realize how much they would use all of that!

Stop Smelly Feet!
Afraid to take your shoes off at other people's houses? Well no more! Sprinkle a small amount of baking soda on your feet and in your shoes each day to absorb wetness and odors.
Stop body odor!
Sprinkle a small amount of baking soda all over your body each morning after your shower, just like you would regular baby powder. The baking soda absorbs all odors! Search the internet to learn how to make your own deodorant from baking soda as well!
These are just a few of the many health related issues you can help by baking soda! Take some time and search the internet for thousands of other uses! Not only is baking soda healthier for you, but it is cheaper too! The average size box of baking soda costs less than a dollar and you will get hundreds of uses out of one box!
