The article that I have read "Israel - The leading in the Cancer of the lymph gland" and had published in "Ynet" deals with the problem of the lymph gland Cancer, specially in Israel . The level of morbidity in Israel by Cancer of the lymph gland, also known as Hodgkin lymphoma disease, amongst young people is one of the highest in the world. The approximated reason for this Cancer is late exposure to childhood diseases such as Measles and Infectious mononucleosis.

Hodgkin lymphoma is a terrible disease that, unlike other types, affects also young people between the ages of 15-35. This issue makes it more tragic since young people are also at risk. Personally, I am scared because this disease more common among men. Therefor, I believe that it's important to pay attention to your body, and if you feel pain in your neck, armpits or other parts of your body, go to the doctor!

In my opinion, in the 21^st century we must make in a point to find a cure, not only to Hodgkin lymphoma, but to all kinds of Cancer. Furthermore, parents must be aware of the fact that Cancer doesn't happen to all people.

In conclusion, being aware of the risk, keeping a healthy life style and visiting the doctor regularly may insure your health at any age.

Yours Truly,

Are you fat?

It may seem like the right thing to do! A very rotund child goes through Adjustable gastric band surgery. This child goes to loss tens of pounds and gains quality of life and health. However, recently there have been opinions claiming that in Israel they are rushing to operate children and teens, without considering the effects of the surgery on the children's growth and development.

In my opinion, adjustable gastric band surgery may seem like a drastic move for a teenager but it can be a positive decision. It can help fat teens from being embarrassed when they go to school. In addition, this surgery will reduce their appetite which means, in other words, they will eat less and be more healthy.

Being thin all my life, it is difficult for me to relate to those children's situation. Still, I can understand how it is to be different. Therefore, I can understand their desire for "a magic fix"; being overweight means everybody can see how different you are.

In conclusion, I believe that while this move in beneficial it has to me done with parental guidance and with the help of a psychologist in order to make sure that those children are making the right decision for the right reasons.
