MANY DOCTORS NOT FOLLOWING OSTEOPOROSIS GUIDELINES

A study in Menopause (Oct 2011) revealed that many doctors are not following guidelines for either screening or treating women with osteoporosis. In the study, 41% of women who were screened should not have been screened, 35% of women who should have been prescribed medications did not receive treatment, and 18% of women who did not meet criteria for soseoporosis received therapy anyway.

COMMENT: Unfortunately, guidelines for many diseases are often not followed, leading to unnecessary screening and treatment as well as non-treatment when indicated. Screening for osteoporosis should not be initiated until age 65 and women should be considered for treatment only if they have osteoporosis and are at elevated risk, not if they have osteopenia or at low risk.

Lesser dark circle eye bags. Less visible of my pores and blackhead.But i can't deny for the first 2-3 weeks I was suffered with the dehydrated skin and itchiness, skin on chin is drying up and and then peeling, really annoying, however I determine to give the bar a try, well you can't expect yourself to become a beauty just in one night. The distributor reminds me too, the bar is working on, detoxing the skin. To compesate dry skin and help new skin growing I drink a lot of water.FYI, i was SKII user for a year , it work well on my skin too but not for my pores and my eye bags, I have to spend extra cash to get extra skin cares, which I don enjoy putting so many skin care on my skin, after introduced to Eumora I'm quite attracted to it, although it cost RM90 for mini bar, I don't have to buy or even apply extra toner and moisturiser, make my life easier.It sound too good to be true, but I don't even have to apply foundation or compact powder (of coz it's optional u still can apply that 1) because my skin tone is more even and smoother.1 thing that convince me try out Eumore also the distributor himself, a friend I have knew for 2 years, he used to have dull and pimple skin, he really surprised me after few months he used it, he has smooth radiance skin.so new user, do not give up, it make takes 1-2 months for you to see the result. Bear in mind if you are heavy user of any skin care, it make take sometimes to see the result because the bar have to work hard to detox your skin from chemicals that has infused by the previous skin care. This happen particularly for the ladies, less for the guys because they less use of make up and skin care.All the best and warmest regards.
