INTRODUCTION I. While we are in class today‚ 6 people will die from oral cancer. Three out of the four are men between the ages of 25 and 55. Before being diagnosed‚ these individuals probable ate a good diet and exercised regularly. Most did not use tobacco products and seldom drank alcohol. II. Oral cancers have been on the rise over the last decade with the amount of cases doubling in the United States alone. It has catapulted oral cancer from 11th on the overall number of

Health care has always been a growing industry from discovering new illnesses and new vaccines. I will create a Health Care Hall of Fame Museum. In this museum I will have five exhibits that have changed health care‚ which include: the discovery of germs‚ vaccines‚ surgery‚ childbirth‚ and Medicare. I will give a brief description of each exhibit and their role in health care. Germs Louis Pasteur‚ born in Dole‚ a small town in eastern France had an interest in scientific subjects. In 1847‚ he received

seven deaths (ProCon.org‚ Children Vaccinations‚ Pro). Children infected with mumps can become permanently deaf. Although a very small number of deaths from the MMR (measles‚ mumps‚ and rubella) vaccine have been reported‚ the most common adverse reactions are minor soreness and or fever. Vaccines can eradicate disease and prevent serious illness and death. Mandatory vaccination has eliminated disease that once killed thousands of children‚ such as polio and smallpox. According to the researchers

valid reasons to vaccinate. Vaccines aid in preventing disease‚ saving lives‚ and keeping the spread of disease at bay. As there are many instances of plagues throughout history‚ vaccinations have been a key component in the prevention of great illnesses in the last hundred years or more. Polio was a death sentence at one point‚ and since the polio vaccine was created there have been far fewer cases. Even the outbreak of pneumonia and meningitis has been curbed. If vaccines had not been created and

adults and children 7 years or older. Vaccination is the best way to protect against this life-threatening disease. Vaccines work by causing the body to produce its own protection (antibodies). Tetanus vaccine is usually first given to infants with 2 other vaccines for diphtheria and whooping cough (pertussis) in a series of 3 injections. This medication is usually used as a "booster" vaccine after this first series. Closely follow the vaccination schedule provided by the doctor.Booster injections may

The vaccines that infants received contained mercury‚ which is an extremely toxic substance. Mercury is in the preservative called thimerosal. Thimerosal is used as a preservative so that vaccines can be packaged in multi-dose bottles and used on multiple children. The amount of mercury in typical doses of vaccines‚ given to infants‚ can be as high as

prevent it. I didn’t even know that measles can cause brain damage‚ which was an interesting fact I learned from one of the articles I read. What really surprised me was that measles is so contagious‚ and even more‚ that it can be stopped with a single vaccine. I think that scientists have found all the facts we need about measles‚ but there is always more. Instead of researching it further‚ we should enforce vaccination laws in all 50 states and focus on different viruses and diseases. Hopefully‚ the U
