Article: The most basic bath salt is epsom salt, which is available at most pharmacies. To use epsom salt to treat hemorrhoids, mix 2 tablespoons (15 milliliters) of epsom salt with 2 tablespoons (15 milliliters) of glycerin. Apply that mixture to a piece of gauze and place it over the affected area. Leave the gauze on for 15 minutes. You can repeat this every 4 to 6 hours. Research suggests that you can absorb the magnesium from bath salts through your skin, restoring your body's magnesium levels and reducing the pain from arthritis. Soak in water heated to 95 degrees Fahrenheit (35 degrees celsius) with a handful of bath salt from the Dead Sea dissolved in it. A small amount of epsom salt mixed in water can help alleviate your symptoms if you're suffering from constipation. Mix 1 teaspoon of epsom salt into a glass of water, stirring until the salt dissolves. Drink the solution.

Use epsom salt to treat hemorrhoids. Soak in Dead Sea bath salts to relieve arthritis symptoms. Relieve constipation with epsom salt.
Article: They are saltwater shore-dwellers, and they need high temperatures to survive. Sand crabs live in rhythm with the tides, and it can be difficult to replicate the delicate littoral ecosystem in which they thrive. Furthermore, sand crabs feed on such a diverse diet that you may have a hard time giving them the variety they're used to. In the wild, sand crabs bury themselves deep in wet sand and catch plankton with their antennae. Replicate this process by filling your crab's habitat with beach sand, then pouring seawater over the sand a few times each day. Use any glass aquarium. Bear in mind that sand crabs cannot dig in sand that is too dry or densely-packed. Try to bring the beach sand directly from the ecosystem where you got the crab. Local beach sand is more likely to contain the insects and microorganisms that your crab needs. Sand crabs naturally gather in shoals, so it should be okay to put several sand crabs in the same tank. Remember, however, that large crabs like to eat smaller crabs. Homemade saltwater will not do; it needs to contain algae and plankton. You can buy plankton, algae, and aquarium-grade seawater at some aquarium-supply and exotic pet stores. Be warned that these supplies can be expensive. Understand that this tactic is a short-term experiment to study the behavior of a sand crab. It is not necessarily a sustainable, long-term way to keep a sand crab as a pet. If you only need to study the sand crab for a short time, consider returning it to the wild when you're done. Sand crabs are difficultsometimes nearly impossibleto keep as pets. If you are looking for a crab that's easy to raise and feed, consider getting a hermit crab. Do your research, create a habitat, and learn to care for hermit crabs. Aquarium hermit crabs thrive on practically any food, from algae and leftover fish food to beef, eggs, and vegetables. In the wild, hermit crabs have been known to eat leaves, fruit, and even wood. You can also buy commercial hermit crab food that mimics the crab's natural diet.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Consider the challenges of removing sand crabs from the wild. Set up a tank with fresh beach sand and seawater. Regularly refill the tank with seawater. Consider getting a hermit crab instead.
Article: Generally, if the disease is localized to the prostate, it is curable. If the cancer is susceptible to hormone treatments, the prognosis is considered to be favorable. The three-year survival rate for prostate cancer is 100% for local invasion, 99.1% for regional invasion, and 33.1% for distant metastasis. If the cancer is only in the prostate, it can generally be treated with a radical prostatectomy, which means surgically removing the prostate. For older males with a life expectancy of less than ten years who have not displayed symptoms, it may be advisable to observe the condition before committing to surgery. This is because surgery on the prostate can cause additional complications that include urinary incontinence and erectile dysfunction. For prostate cancer that has progressed beyond the prostate to local regions of the body, radiation therapy is usually prescribed. In addition, deprivation of androgens (hormones that maintain male characteristics) may help to decrease the spread of the disease. When the prostate cancer has become locally invasive, treatment aims to decrease the spread of the cancer. Once the prostate cancer has invaded other parts of the body, treatment regimens will usually entail reducing the amount of testosterone produced in the body, which can be a more radical approach to reducing androgens than with locally invasive disease. Anti-androgens These medications will aim to block androgens from expressing their effects on the proper hormonal tissue receptors in the body to reduce testosterone production. GnRH antagonists These medications will bind to receptors in the pituitary gland and help to suppress the production of testosterone. Luteinizing hormone-releasing agonists These medications will also affect the androgen producing pathways of your body to reduce testosterone. Orchiectomy This procedure calls for the complete removal of the testes. This is usually reserved for patients who are non-compliant with their medications.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Ask your doctor for a prognosis. Look into a radical prostatectomy for localized prostate cancer. Ask your doctor about radiation therapy for locally invasive prostate cancer. Consider options for metastatic prostate cancer.
