This damage can occur early in pregnancy when the brain is just starting to form, during the birth process as the child passes through the birth canal, or after birth in the first few years of life. In many cases, the exact cause of the brain damage is never known. = =At one time, problems during birth, usually inadequate oxygen, were blamed for cerebral palsy. = = = =Preventions for Cerebral Palsy = = =

=There is no cure for cerebral palsy. With early and ongoing treatment, however, the disabilities associated with cerebral palsy can be reduced. Many different therapies are available, most under the supervision of a medical specialist or other allied professional. Not all of these therapies are right for every person with cerebral palsy. The therapy regimen for a specific individual with cerebral palsy should be tailored to meet the needs of that individual. A treatment may work for one child but not for another. The parents and the child’s care team work together to choose only those treatments that offer some benefit to the child. = ====**SWINE FLU I think that Swine Flu would be one of the most dangerous disease to people. Swine Flu is a very shocking disease that has killed over 7000 people since January 2009. Swine Flu is a strong lean, mean killing disease that is known to have come from Mexico. When novel influenza strains originate in animals such as birds or pigs and then make the jump to humans, the severity of the resulting disease is unpredictable. ****In March 2009, public health officers noticed that people in Mexico were becoming ill from a strain of swine influenza to which humans had no previous exposure.** ==== = = =Lung Cancer =



=It takes many, many years for a smoker to get an Emphysema Lung like the one in the right of the picture above. Smokers should be aware of these things and know the consequences of smoking. As most people know, its not good for you and even after the smoking advertisements on T.V, people still continue to smoke. = =A non-smoker can still end up getting an Emphysema lung if they hang around smokers or places =
