SMART WEB HOSTING Web
Hosting Review: 4 Pros & 4 Cons of SMART WEB HOSTING Hosting
SMART WEB HOSTING is one of the largest brands
in the Internet services industry, and I get a lot of reader questions about
what their hosting product is like. I’ve worked with SMART WEB HOSTING web hosting several
times for clients, and recently bought a hosting package for a separate project
I’m running. Here’s my first SMART WEB HOSTING web hosting review in a series
that looks at their hosting product overall & in comparison with othertophosts.
This review was originally published in early
2014. It’s been revised throughout as of May 2016.
SMART WEB HOSTING offers a wide range of products from domain names to hosting to website
packages. SMART WEB HOSTING is actually one of the oldest web hosting companies
– founded in 1988. And they are also one of the more aggressive advertisers
with full-page ads in magazines and TV spots. Anecdotally, I think only GoDaddy rivals
them in terms of mass-market advertising and brand awareness.
But big brand doesn’t always mean a good
product – and that’s one thing I wanted to look into with a full SMART WEB
HOSTING web hosting review.
3 quick asides before diving in. First, There
are a lot of SMART WEB HOSTING hosting reviews online – usually with
user-generated reviews based on anecdotes and personal experience. That’s fine
but I take a different approach. My approach to reviews is that there is
no such thing as a “best” or “top” anything. There’s only better fits for
different people depending on your goals. If you are just looking for SMART WEB
HOSTING promotions for super-cheap hosting, you can find them here.
Second, a disclosure that I receive customer
referral fees from companies mentioned on this site. All data & opinion is
from my experience as a paying customer or consultant to a paying customer.
Third, when I talk about “hosting” – I’m
specifically referring to Linux shared web hosting setups (like those used for
a common Drupal, Joomla or WordPress setup). Unless you have a specific
reason to use a Windows-powered server, you should be using a Linux powered
server. It’s the industry standard and gives you much more flexibility than a
Windows server. I’m also specifically looking at shared web hosting, since
unless you know of a specific reason (like having a consistent +10,000
visits/day) to not have shared hosting – then it’s the probably the best fit
for you (it’s also the most affordable).
Pros of SMART WEB HOSTING Web Hosting
Last aside – the tl;dr is that SMART WEB
HOSTING does not have any strong “pros” in my opinion. The really just have
areas where they are just sort of fine. Their main pro is their brand and the
name they have built up over 26 years. That said, for the purposes of a SMART
WEB HOSTING web hosting review, here are the pros of their hosting service
Prices
SMART WEB HOSTING Hosting is on the more
affordable end of web hosting. They typically offer a very cheap 12 month
introductory offer (view their plans here),
and then increase the price after a year, which even then are on the more
affordable end.

Nasiru Loaded Blog want us to discuss about this important topic:
Before
we know it, technology is going to pass us by. With the invention of
the computer and the Internet, the possibilities are endless. Society is
changing by leaps and bounds, with no chance of a stopping point in the
near future. All this change is dealing with computers and the effects
that it will have on the way we live tomorrow. The Internet affects us
in every way, most importantly with our social lives, our jobs, and our
entertainment. Our social lives are not just communicating with
telephones and mail anymore. Going “on-line” is the new way we like to
communicate with people. Chat rooms on the Internet are open for people
to talk and explore with other people who may live on the other side of
the world or the other side of the street. E-Mail is also another
popular way to correspond with others. Users can electronically send
mail to another person with an on-line mailbox, simply by typing in
their message and sending it by the click of a button. Two seconds to
send e-mail to someone on the other side of the world is much quicker
than a week or more through the ordinary mail. The Internet can also
affect our jobs. Computers can calculate and figure out things much
quicker than the average person. This process cannot only save time, but
money too. Stock trading is now on the Internet, along with banking and
any other type of business you could imagine. The world wants thing to
be quick and easy. The best answer to that is to have a computer do it
for you. In the future, hundreds of millions of jobs will be taken away
from honest hard-working employees and will be given to computers. No
matter what choices we make, or what plans we change, these outcomes are
going to become real. Why would a business pay someone to take phone
orders, when a computer can do it in less time and make it both cheaper
and easier for the business and the buyer? Computers and the Internet
are definitely affecting the way we entertain ourselves. The most basic
example is card games. If the computer can deal out cards on a screen
with the click of a button, why would anyone want to deal out a deck of
cards manually and have to clean them up afterwards? On the Internet,
you can gamble with on-line casinos, place bets on a horse race, or even
watch movies. People can do all of these activities in the comfort of
their own home. No gas money is wasted or time spent driving around to
find entertainment so people are happy. The inevitable outcome of this
magnificent invention is going to change the world. Society is happy
about the way things are changing. Cheaper is better, less time
consuming is better. With the choice of having a computer and being
on-line, there is almost nothing you cannot do. This remarkable idea of
the Internet is going to revolutionize the way we live in the future.
Negative impacts of computers on society
Most
of us know the pros of having a computer (links us to other parts of
the world and provides us with information we use to have to search for
at the library, etc.) These are some of the negative things about the
computerized world:
The
younger generation would rather communicate through computer
(easier) than actually working towards making friends or finding
love the good old fashion way. Thus, part of the magic of falling
in love is lost. People breakup in emails rather than facing the
person and as all generations have been taught before we must take
responsibility for our own actions.
A
high percentage of people sit at their computer far too long and
some people lose reality as far as social activities and learning
social skills. Not to mention packing on the weight and the lack of
exercise that will haunt them further on down the road.
Sitting behind a computer all day is hard on the eyes.
Being
on the computer too much takes away the imagination for most
(although for a very few they can be creative in advertising and
digital imagery, etc. on websites.)
Computers
can distract a person so much they lose contact with the reality
around them such as taking time with family, husbands, boyfriends,
girlfriends, wives and children.
It opens up kiddy porn and other immoral things.
More crime is committed through the Internet.
More misinformation by SOME people on the Internet can cause problems for the younger generation.
More
person problems by two people on the Internet (never having met)
may cause heartbreak or mistrust. It's impossible to know someone
well over the Internet.
Spammers are annoying.
Hackers can ruin your computer system.
Many
people do work on the computer from their home but smart people do so
much, then get up, get moving and get into shape. They spend time with
family and friends and limit their time on the computer.
There
is a new generation coming up where information is at one's finger tips
too easily and then it becomes a personal thing in some people's lives.
Before one knows it all will be like zombies wandering around (out of
shape) and wondering why no one is relating to them.
While
technology is a wonderful thing it is almost likely that it can be used
in an immoral or wrong way. There is a price to pay for everything even
if it appears it's making life easier on people.
REMEMBER COMPUTER IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING ALL OVER THE UNIVERSE
Take a deep breath: Believe it or not, scientists are not always right.
We really put them up on a pedestal, though, don't we? We quote
scientists as experts, buy things if they're "scientifically proven" to
work better … but scientists are human, too. It's just not fair to
expect perfection out of them, is it? But come on, can't we at least ask
for a reasonable level of competency?
1. The Circulatory System
You don't have to be a doctor to know how important the heart is…but
back in ancient Greece, you could be a doctor and STILL have no idea how
important the heart is.
Back then, doctors like
second-century Greek physician Galen believed (no kidding) that the
liver (not the heart) circulated blood (along with some bile and
phlegm), while the heart (really) circulated "vital spirit"(whatever
that is).
How could they be so wrong? It gets worse.
Galen hypothesized that the blood
moved in a back-and-forth motion and was consumed by the organs as fuel.
What's more, these ideas stuck around for a very long time. How long?
It wasn't until 1628 that English
physician William Harvey let us in on our heart's big secret. His "An
Anatomical Study of the Motion of the Heart and of the Blood in Animals"
took a while to catch on, but a few hundred years later, it seems
beyond common sense -- perhaps the ultimate compliment for a scientific
idea.
2.The Earth Is the Center of the Universe
Chalk it up to humanity's collectively huge ego. Second-century
astronomer Ptolemy's (blatantly wrong) Earth-centered model of the solar
system didn't just stay in vogue for 20 or 30 years; it stuck around
for a millennium and then some.
It wasn't until almost 1,400 years
later that Copernicus published his heliocentric (sun-centered) model in
1543. Copernicus wasn't the first to suggest that the we orbited the
sun, but his theory was the first to gain traction.
Ninety years after its publication,
the Catholic Church was still clinging to the idea that we were at the
center of it all and duking it out with Galileo over his defense of the
Copernican view. Old habits die hard.
3: Germs in Surgery
Laugh or cry (take your pick), but up until the late 19th century,
doctors didn't really see the need to wash their hands before picking up
a scalpel.
The result? A lot of gangrene. Most
early-19th century doctors tended to attribute contagion to "bad air"
and blamed disease on imbalances of the "four humors" (that's blood,
phlegm, yellow bile and black bile, in case you weren't familiar).
"Germ theory" (the revolutionary idea
that germs cause disease) had been around for a while, but it wasn't
till Louis Pasteur got behind it in the 1860s that people started
listening. It took a while, but doctors like Joseph Lister eventually
connected the dots and realized that hospitals and doctors had the
potential to pass on life-threatening germs to patients.
Lister went on to pioneer the idea of
actually cleaning wounds and using disinfectant. Remember him next time
you reach for the Purell.
Take a deep breath: Believe it or
not, scientists are not always right. We really put them up on a
pedestal, though, don't we? We quote scientists as experts, buy things
if they're "scientifically proven" to work better … but scientists are
human, too. It's just not fair to expect perfection out of them, is it?
But come on, can't we at least ask for a reasonable level of competency?
4: DNA: Not So Important
DNA was discovered in 1869, but for a long time, it was kind of the
unappreciated assistant: doing all the work with none of the credit,
always overshadowed by its flashier protein counterparts.
Even after experiments in the middle
part of the 20th century offered proof that DNA was indeed the genetic
material, many scientists held firmly that proteins, not DNA, were the
key to heredity. DNA, they thought, was just too simple to carry so much
information.
It wasn't until Watson and Crick
published their all-important double-helical model of the structure of
DNA in 1953 that biologists finally started to understand how such a
simple molecule could do so much. Perhaps they were confusing simplicity
with elegance.
5: The Atom Is the Smallest Particle in Existence
Believe it or not, we weren't actually all that stupid in ancient
times. The idea that matter was composed of smaller, individual units
(atoms) has been around for thousands of years -- but the idea that
there was something smaller than that was a bit harder to come by.
It wasn't until the early 20th
century, when physicists like J.J. Thompson, Ernest Rutherford, James
Chadwick and Neils Bohr came along, that we started to sort out the
basics of particle physics: protons, neutrons and electrons and how they
make an atom what it is. Since then, we've come a long way: on to
charmed quarks and Higgs bosons, anti-electrons and muon neutrinos.
Let's hope it doesn't get too much more complicated than that.
6: The Earth Is Only 6,000 Years Old
Once upon a time, the Bible was
considered a scientific work. Really. People just kind of assumed it was
accurate, even when it didn't make much sense.
Take the age of the planet, for example.
Back in the 17th century, a religious
scholar took a hard look at the Bible and estimated that creation
happened around 4004 B.C. (you know, approximately). Add in nearly 2,000
more years to get to the 18th century, when Western, Bible-reading
geologists started to realize that the Earth was constantly shifting and
changing, and you get about 6,000 years.
Hmm ... those biblical scholars may
have been a bit off. Current estimates, based on radioactive dating,
place the age of the planet at around, oh, 4.5 BILLION years.
By the 19th century, geologists
started putting the pieces together to realize that if geologic change
was happening as slowly as they thought it was, and if this Darwin guy
was at all right about evolution (which was also a slow process), the
Earth had to be WAY older than they had thought. The emergence of
radioactive dating in the early 20th century would eventually prove them right.
7: The Rain Follows the Plow
If only it were so easy. It's
actually kind of shocking that humanity held on to the idea that land
would become fertile through farming for so long. Didn't anyone look
around and see that all this farming of arid land wasn't doing much?
So much for observation.
In reality, this quite erroneous
theory (popular during the American and Australian expansions) may have
stayed alive in part because it did sometimes work -- or at least it
seemed to work.
What we know now is that the plow
wasn't actually bringing the rain; long-term weather patterns were. Arid
regions (like the American West, for example) go through long-term
cyclical droughts, followed by cycles of wetter years. Wait long enough
and you'll get a few wet ones.
There's just one problem: wait a few
more years and all the rain just goes away - only now, you've got a
civilization to support.
8: Phlogiston
What? You've never heard of phlogiston? Well, don't beat yourself up about it, because it's not real.
Phlogiston, proposed in 1667 by
Johann Joachim Becher, was another element to add to the list (earth,
water, air, fire and sometimes ether); it wasn't fire itself, but the
stuff fire was made of. All combustible objects contained this stuff,
Becher insisted, and they released it when they burned.
Scientists bought into the theory and
used it to explain a few things about fire and burning: why things
burned out (must have run out of phlogiston), why fire needed air to
burn (air must absorb phlogiston), why we breathe (to get rid of
phlogiston in the body).
Today, we know that we breathe to get
oxygen to support cellular respiration, that objects need oxygen (or an
oxidizing agent) to burn and that phlogiston just doesn't exist.
9: Heavier Objects Fall Faster
OK, trick question: do heavier
objects fall faster than lighter ones? Today, we all know that they
don't, but it's understandable how Aristotle could've gotten this one
wrong.
It wasn't until Galileo came along in
the late 16th century that anyone really tested this out. Though he
most likely did not, as legend holds, drop weights from the tower of
Pisa, Galileo did perform experiments to back up his theory that gravity
accelerated all objects at the same rate. In the 17th century, Isaac
Newton took us a step further, describing gravity as the attraction
between two objects: on Earth, the most important being the attraction
between one very massive object (our planet) and everything on it.
A couple of hundred years later,
Albert Einstein's work would take us in a whole new direction, viewing
gravity as the curvature that objects cause in space-time. And it's not
over. To this day, physicists are ironing out the kinks and trying to
find a theory that works equally well for the macroscopic, microscopic
and even subatomic. Good luck with that.
10: Alchemy
The idea of morphing lead into gold
may seem a little crazy these days, but take a step back and pretend you
live in ancient or medieval times.
Pretend you never took high-school
chemistry and know nothing about elements or atomic numbers or the
periodic table. What you do know is that you've seen chemical reactions
that seemed pretty impressive: substances change colors, spark, explode,
evaporate, grow, shrink, make strange smells - all before your eyes.
Now, if chemistry can do all that, it
seems pretty reasonable that it might be able to turn a dull, drab,
gray metal into a bright, shiny yellow one, right? In the hopes of
getting that job done, alchemists sought out the mythical "philosopher's
stone," a substance that they believed would amplify their alchemical
powers.
They also spent a lot of time looking for the "elixir of life." Never found that, either.
11. Don’t sap the very life out of the story.
The world of science is filled with researchers working on particles a
fraction the size of an atom and studying cosmic distances that are
incomprehensible to the average person. And barely a day goes by when a
researcher doesn’t come up with insights or a discovery once thought to
be impossible. It’s a world filled with wonder and awe. Don’t get bogged
down in numbers and minutiae. Find the passion and excitement of the
story — then share them.
12. Don’t leave out the science.
Some ongoing stories have significant science components. Two examples
come immediately to mind: hydraulic fracturing (hydrofracking) and
global warming. It’s not enough to write that the majority of scientists
agree that the earth’s temperatures are increasing and that human
activity is to blame. By mentioning how scientists take their readings
and what they’re specifically finding, the public will acquire a deeper
respect for the actual work involved and be in a better position to
appreciate your stories. It may not be practical to include the science
in every update, but consider doing so periodically.
13. Don’t get the science wrong.
Science is pretty complicated, whether it involves subatomic particles,
chemical bonds, or DNA repair. It’s always better to take the time to
write the story well, than to rush it for that day’s deadline. (Of
course, that may mean negotiating with your editor for more time to do
the story justice.) Get on good terms with a science press officer at a
college who can put you in touch with an expert capable of explaining
concepts in a simple, straightforward manner.
14. Don’t get stuck in the weeds.
The goal is to help people understand and appreciate the science in the
story, not prepare for a physics mid-term. Every answer in science can
lead to another “how” or “why” question. It may be enough to state that
the waste product of hydrogen fuel cells is water, without discussing
how hydrogen ions bond with hydroxide ions.
15. It’s OK to challenge an expert.
Scientists don’t always get it right (Can you say “cold fusion”?), and
sometimes experts don’t explain things clearly. While you need to
respect a scientist’s expertise, it’s important to maintain your
skepticism and not relent when you find something to be confusing. Your
loyalty lies with the public, not the scientist.
16. Make sure you get a second opinion.
My dad used to tell me that the same number of doctors finished in the
bottom 10 percent of their class as finished in the top ten percent.
While rank does not always indicate the quality of a doctor or
scientist, his point remains — not all experts were created equally.
Talk to a second scientist to verify what you’ve been told or to get a
different perspective.
17. Don’t keep saying how dumb you are.
There are few things more ridiculous in journalism than having a
broadcast host or reporter shake his or her head and say, “Golly, I’m
lucky if I can tell Isaac Newton from a Fig Newton.”
Acting dumb does nothing to instill confidence in a science reporter.
Journalists don’t take that approach in their political and economic
reporting, so why do it with science? Reporters routinely go into
interviews needing to learn about the subject at hand; science is no
different. Do your homework and ask smart questions.
18. Don’t oversell research outcomes.
Scientific progress is rarely considered a breakthrough, and a discovery
is not the same thing as a life-changing cure or an innovative new
product. Research developments can be newsworthy without raising the
public’s expectations.
19. There may not be an “other side” to the story.
There are people who believe the world is flat, that astronauts never
landed on the moon, and that Elvis is still alive — but few journalists
would consider including those angles in their stories. Learn which
experts and theories are credible and take a stand for good science.
20. Don’t rely on inadequate experts.
Don’t get confused by credentials. A meteorologist is not the same as a
climate scientist, and even a distinguished particle physicist is not
necessarily an expert in quantum optics. Make sure an expert has the
appropriate expertise.
Nasiru Loaded Blog News Comment for some suggestion or mistakes
More than four years after the global financial crisis hit,
high-income countries struggle to restructure their economies and regain
fiscal sustainability.
Developing
countries, where growth is 1-2 percentage points below what it was
during the pre-crisis period, have been affected by the weakness in
high-income countries. To regain pre-crisis growth rates, they will
need to focus on productivity-enhancing domestic policies rather than
demand stimulus.
Although the major
risks to the global economy are similar to those of a year ago, the
likelihood that they will materialize has diminished, as has the
magnitude of estimated impacts should these events occur. Major downside
risks include the loss of access to capital markets by vulnerable Euro
Area countries, lack of agreement on U.S. fiscal policy and the debt
ceiling, and commodity price shocks.
In
an environment of slow growth and continued volatility, a steady hand
is required in developing countries to avoid pro-cyclical policy and to
rebuild macroeconomic buffers so that authorities can react in the case
of new external or domestic shocks.
Arthur Budovsky Belanchuk, 39, on Friday was arrested in
Spain as part of a money laundering investigation performed jointly by police
agencies in the United States and Costa Rica.
Costa Rican prosecutor José Pablo González said Budovsky, a Costa Rican citizen
of Ukrainian origin, has been under investigation since 2011 for money
laundering using a company he created in the country called Liberty Reserve.
Local investigations began after a request from a prosecutor’s office in New
York. On Friday, San José prosecutors conducted raids in Budovsky's house and
offices in Escazá, Santa Ana, southwest of San José, and in the province of
Heredia, north of the capital.
Budovsky's businesses in Costa Rica apparently were financed by using money
from child Indecency websites and drug trafficking.
New York conviction, According to records from the U.S. Justice Department, on
July 27, 2006, Budovsky and a partner identified as Vladimir Kats were indicted
by the state of New York on
charges of operating an illegal financial business, GoldAge Inc., from their
Brooklyn apartments.
They had transmitted at least $30 million to digital currency accounts
worldwide since beginning operations in 2002.
The digital currency exchange, GoldAge, received and transmitted $4 million
between Jan. 1, 2006, and June 30, 2006, as part of the money laundering
scheme.
Customers opened online GoldAge accounts with limited documentation of
identity, then GoldAge purchased digital gold currency through those accounts;
the defendants' fees sometimes exceeded $100,000.
Customers could choose their method of payment to GoldAge: wire remittances,
cash deposits, postal money orders or checks.
Finally, the customers could withdraw the money by requesting wire transfers to
accounts anywhere in the world or by having checks sent to any identified
individual.
Budovsky and Kats were sentenced to five years in prison for engaging in the
business of transmitting money without a license, a felony violation of state
banking law, but got probation.
Pain. You face it more or less every day. Physical pain or mental
pain. And pain is bearable. But there are times when this pain is
immense. It takes the form of agony. There are a whole lot of things
which causes pain but when we talk of physical pain. Related to the
body. Health comes into mind. There are hundreds of diseases prevailing
today in this world. We list here the top ten painful diseases of the
world: 10. Arthritis
Arthritis is an infection of joints. It can cause inflammation in
more than one joint. Such infections are due to wear and tear of
cartilage which ensures smooth movement of bones. The joints feel stiff
and swell due to infection in a joint. Arthritis can be of different
types such as rheumatoid arthritis which causes bending of joints and
osteoarthritis causes swelling and frozen bones. Arthritis is treated by
surgery of joints. Other than this hot massage and packs can give
temporary relief. Medications are generally for pain relief. Exercise
routine should also be followed. 9. Ebola hemorrhagic fever
Ebola hemorrhagic fever is caused by Ebola virus. As the name
suggests it is bleeding due to damage of blood vessels. About 90 % of
the patients could not survive this disease. The patients die due to
shock or low blood pressure rather than from blood loss. The symptoms
include vomiting, headache, fever, joint aches, internal as well as
external bleeding. Ebola virus not only affects humans but also other
primates. Fruit bats are known to be reservoir of this disease. Ebola
virus can infect a healthy person through contact with an infected
person. Therefore patient should be kept separately and his belongings
should not be reused and waste should be disposed properly to avoid
further spread of this disease. 8. Shingles (herpes zoster)
Shingles is caused by virus herpes zoster. It is among the most
painful diseases. The pain is due to blisters and rashes formed on skin.
The same virus causes chicken pox but in shingles it affects the nerves
causing neural disorder. The risk of getting this disease increases
with age , however it can also effect children. Its symptoms include
rashes, temporary paralysis, genital sores, stomach disorder etc. A
single dose of shingles vaccine after the age of 60 can help to prevent
or reduce the extremity of the disease 7. Kidney stone
Kidney stone or Renal calculus is formation of pebbles due to
accumulation of salts, minerals or calcium in the kidney. It mainly
causes problem when stones enter the ureter or urinary bladder it
obstruct the flow of urine thus causes immense pain in lower abdomen.
During kidney problems patients are recommended to drink plenty of
water. Medicines should be taken strictly according to doctors
prescription. It is also found to be hereditary. But usually inadequate
diet is the culprit. 6. Ulcerative colitis
Ulcerative colitis is the formation of ulcers in colon and rectum. It
is indicated by a severe pain in abdomen or abdominal cramps can be
felt. Symptoms also include tiredness, undergrowth in children, loss of
weight and appetite. Bleeding in gastrointestinal tract and pus and
blood in stool confirms the disease. It can be caused by physical strain
and acidity, guesses are made that it may be caused due to immunity
problems. Ulcerative colitis occur at the age of 15-30 or after 50. It
is also known to be run in families. These ulcers if not treated in time
can cause further complication such as hemorrhage 5. Frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis)
Frozen shoulder, scientifically known as adhesive capsulitis is a
condition of feeling of pain due to limited movement of shoulder.
Stiffness in the joint of the shoulder does not allow it to move freely.
It mostly happens during its movement to its extreme range for example
while reaching for a seatbelt over head in a car. Such problems also
arise due to sleep disorders. During this problem the shoulder should
not be moved vigorously as it can even break the joint. It is treated
with steroidal injections and anti inflammatory drugs to relieve pain
and free movement of joint. Therapies should be followed religiously or
else the pain can come back within few months. Exercises prescribed
should be also followed to keep the pain at bay. 4. Achalasia
Achalasia cardia also known as esophageal dymotility disorder. It is
found to be effecting mainly the esophagus as the name says. It seems to
create problem in swallowing of food. The lower part of esophagus known
as esophageal sphincter does not relax properly. Due to inflammation in
nerves of esophagus the motility of esophagus is hurdled. The symptoms
are mainly burning sensation is felt in heart, difficulty in swallowing
solid or liquid thus causing vomiting. This can further lead to chest
infections. The condition worsens during cold and stress. 3. Pancreatic cancer
Pancreatic cancer or pancreatic carcinoma is listed third among the
most painful diseases. It is one of the most common cancers diagnosed in
people. It is generally caused in people with diabetes, having chronic
pancreatitis or due to excessive smoking. Pancreas is considered as both
exocrine and endocrine gland but it affects any one part of it. It is
found to run in family rarely. The risk of getting such cancer increases
with an increase in age. 2. Dercum’s disease (adipose dolorosa)
Scientific name of the Dercum’s disease is Adipose Dolorosa. This
disease has no known cause till date. It is said to be an auto immune
disease .One of the most painful diseases in the world. Some people
mistake it with obesity. But it is much worse than that. In this
condition, fatty lumps form in parts of the body causing extensive pain.
Full treatment is not possible, though medicine is given to ease the
pain than to remove the adipose. Sometimes it is known to run in
families. 1. Fothergill’s disease (trigeminal neuralgia):
A disease which tops the list of world’s painful diseases. Such
painful disease and cause still unknown. Scientifically known as
Trigeminal Neuralgia. This disease affects areas of face. It causes
intense pain in the facial area. The disease is also quoted as suicide
disease sometimes. The symptoms include pain in the face. This is a kind
of neural disorder. Mouth being a sensitive area, it causes immense
problems in activities like eating, brushing etc. Even touching can
cause an unbearable pain to the patient.
