The human immune defense system consists of two main components, the innate and adaptive. The innate component is so named because it is a general defense system. It is not specialized or specific but consists of basic defenses such as barriers, guard cells and an alarm system. The adaptive component is also aptly named because it develops or adapts over time as a more specialized and specific response.

I can’t remember when it was that I first started to hear about the importance of having regular prostate checks but it must have been some time ago because by the time I was 50 I was already thinking it was something I must do “sometime”. Of course time slipped by and by the time I was 54 I still hadn’t actually done anything about it but I was noticing I was peeing far more frequently AND having to get up to go to the toilet through the night as well.

Myth: I’m so dizzy; I must have had a stroke
Truth: There are many causes of dizziness, and not all are life-threatening
Benign positional vertigo (BPV) is the most common cause of dizziness. It is caused when the tiny crystals in your inner ear – those responsible for balance – break free and float around in the inner ear fluids. When the head moves in certain positions, these floaters tickle the balance cells, causing transient vertigo.

There are other causes of dizziness as well. Labyrinthitis is an inflammation of the inner ear caused by viral infection or other causes. Its symptoms, which include dizziness, usually last for several hours and then diminish.
