People come up with so many problems like Acne, Pigmentation, Eczema, Psoriasis, Hairfall, Scar marks etc.

As an individual living with HIV for 20 years, I have been working to break down the barriers of fear and discrimination for nearly a decade now. I believe there is a serious problem stemming from the lack of media coverage, when it comes to educating people about HIV/AIDS.
People with cystic fibrosis produce too little airway mucus, rather than too much as has long been thought, U.S. researchers reported.
Drinking a pint of milk a day may offer protection against bowel cancer. A daily consumption of two half-pint glasses of milk was associated with a 12 per cent reduction in the risk of developing the disease when compared with low milk consumption, which for the research was taken as less than a sixth of a pint a day.
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a condition which causes the intestines (or bowels, or gut) to be over sensitive. This can cause a variety of abdominal and bowel symptoms. There is no cure, but most people can, with the help of their doctor, learn to control and live with their irritable bowel.
