It is completely within the power of every one of us to maintain health and avoid falling to illness. The systems of medicine, Homeopathy and Naturopathy believe that there us a regulatory agency called Vital Force in the human body that protects it against diseases. If not seriously interfered with, the Vital Force is capable of keeping body free from illnesses. Even if, one does happened to be victimised by illness due to some mischance, it is positive that the disease will be quickly ejected by the Vital Force. Even Hippocrates, the father of modern therapeutic science, believed that ‘’It is the nature that heals, not the physician’’. The quote he once delivered that is ‘‘the duty of a wise doctor is to assist the nature in the self-healing process of a patient’’ shall be remembered at this point.

Compared with men, women who suffer heart attacks are more likely to have another or to die from them. The first symptoms of heart disease tend to appear 10 years later in women (at about the age of 45) than in men. Many physicians under-diagnose coronary artery disease in women, even when women report the same symptoms as men. Another problem is that about 20 percent of women with heart disease don't exhibit the classic symptom of pain under the breast bone that radiates to the left arm or the jaw. They experience upper-abdominal pain, nausea and shortness of breath. Even when women do experience chest pain, it's not always the crushing pain men typically report. Women are more likely to feel intermittent chest pain that's fairly tolerable. As a result, they're less likely to seek medical care and less likely to be treated within a few hours of a heart attack, when treatment is most likely to be lifesaving. Heart attacks are most likely to occur in postmenopausal women, when a drop in the hormone estrogen is thought to increase risk.
