Chronic Fatigue Syndrome - What Causes This Mysterious Illness?
August 4, 2010 by Lawrence
For the thousands of individuals who currently suffer from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome CFS , the causes of this mysterious illness remain a mystery. Reputable medical institutions, including the Centers for Disease Control have launched research efforts into discovering the reasons why some individuals contract CFS and what can be done to alleviate the symptoms. Originally termed yuppie flu by the media, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome was thought to be caused by the Epstein Barr virus, or mononucleosis. In the late 1980 s, it appeared that the only individuals who suffered from yuppie flu were the young, upwardly mobile, urban professionals who, because of their busy lifestyles, of course were tired. With further investigation, medical professionals discovered that many other individuals were suffering from the unexplained symptoms of this illness. Even though the medical community has published studies that bolster the reality of this illness, sufferers continue to find that the yuppie flu designation still prevails. Many individuals who suffer from CFS have reported...

What Is Endometriosis And Should You Be Concerned?
February 17, 2010 by Debroah
Most people have never heard of endometriosis and even those that have know little about this medical condition. But like many medical conditions that can seriously affect one s life, endometriosis can be managed and the risks minimized if a person takes the time to do their homework. Here are some facts and background about the condition known as endometriosis that should help anyone get a better grasp of the condition and how it may affect their lives. According to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, endometriosis is a non-cancerous condition that affects anywhere from 10 to 15 percent of all women of reproductive age. Endometriosis occurs when cells from the uterine lining, or endometrium, begin growing outside of the uterus. These cells may grow and develop in places like the ovaries, fallopian tubes, bowel, or even bladder. It has been observed where cells even work their way outside of the pelvic cavity and begin growing in more distant areas of the body. What is extremely odd and perhaps even a little sad about endometriosis is that...
How To Quit Smoking - The Nicotine Patch
December 11, 2009 by Lon
Nicotine is one of the most addictive substances known. Study after study shows that one can get addicted to nicotine as quickly as cocaine and other illegal drugs that we generally associate with crippling addictions. It is for this reason, of course, that is can be so difficult to quit smoking. One top of this physical addiction - that is, the body s craving of nicotine - there is a psychological component: because smoking is both legal and socially acceptable in many situations, it can be difficult to avoid it completely. Any attempt to quit smoking, therefore, should involve a comprehensive plan that deals with both the physical and psychological side of the addiction. One way to address the physical addition to nicotine, to leave yourself free to concentrate on the psychological aspects of your addiction, is to use a nicotine patch. The nicotine patch is one of the oldest, and certainly best-known, medical aids to quitting smoking. Patches are placed on the skin, and work by releasing a slow and steady supply of nicotine into the bloodstream. The idea is...
Got Geese? What You Should Know About Bird Flu And Canada Geese
October 28, 2009 by Susann
Does it seem like more bad news about Avian Flu hits the headlines and airwaves every day. How do you sort through all the information to know how much you should really worry, and what you can do to protect your family. Should you give up your pet parrot. Or shoo away the colony of Canada Geese visiting your back yard. The good news is Avian Flu has not yet been found in the North American bird population. Human deaths from the virus, currently in the hundreds, have been limited to Asian countries so far, according to the World Health Organization. But the WHO, the unchallenged authority on Bird Flu, also considers waterfowl to be significant bearers of the disease. Whenever possible, it 8217;s best to avoid contact with wild waterfowl and their droppings, the WHO advises. That means that while it 8217;s probably safe to keep your parrot, it 8217;s also best to keep wild waterfowl, like Canada Geese, away from close human contact. Geological Survey 8217;s National Wildlife Health Center began testing samples from a variety of waterfowl found in Alaska...
A Tough Love Approach To Health And Fitness
September 6, 2009 by Delores
Yesterday at the grocery store, I came across a child, who was about 8-years-old. She was lying on the floor flailing her arms and legs yelling I want a chocolate bar. I could have predicted the outcome. The child continued to scream until mom put a chocolate bar in the cart. The crying ceased instantly. As they passed, I took note of the contents of the grocery cart - Coco Puffs cereal, soda, 3 bulk bags of potato chips, chocolate covered granola bars, macaroni cheese, hot dogs you get the drift. Try as I might I couldn t help but feel scared for that child s future. You see, a long time ago I was that obese little girl. I was unhappy with my body, but I dulled the pain by eating chips, chocolate bars, hotdogs. I threw tantrums because I knew my mother didn t have the patience and would just give me what I wanted. My doctor put me on a restrictive diet. However, I would steal money from my parents to buy candy. It didn t make sense to me. I was allowed to eat those foods before. Why were punishing me. I hated myself more. In the early 80 s, being a fat child...

10 Things You Absolutely Must Consider Before Buying Your Massage Chair Part Ii
May 26, 2009 by Maynard
In Part I of this article, I discussed the many features you should consider when buying a massage chair, as well as the durability aspect of your new massage chair. Let s get on with the remaining 7 Absolute Musts to consider when looking into a new massage chair recliner. Ease of Repair because of the weight and bulk of a massage chair, simple repairs become a real bother when you have to ship an entire chair back to the manufacturer just to repair something as simple as a tear in the material. For this reason, I suggest looking into a chair that is constructed with a modular design. This makes repair cheap and easy. If a part is broken or material is torn, the modular design will allow you to isolate the damaged part and send it off for repair so much easier and cheaper than sending off the whole chair. Customer Service As far as I am concerned, this is probably the most important thing of all. If something does happen to your chair or if you are concerned about any function of your chair, it is so great to have a company that is always available to answer...
Sinusitis Treatment- Help Is On The Way
March 22, 2009 by Dillon
Mayo Clinic researchers have made great strides in recent years regarding sinusitis treatment and have come up with a new therapy for chronic sufferers called topical antifungal therapy. This particular sinusitis treatment is still new and is not widely practiced. This author, a sinusitis sufferer of long standing with two painful operations under his belt, has been in contact with one of the Mayo Clinic research physicians. I was pointed to several papers and articles describing the research completed thus far, the theory behind the research, and the resulting therapy. In simple and general terms, the Mayo Clinic research showed that some people i.e., chronic sinusitis sufferers , have a harmful immune reaction to fungi that others do not experience. The research demonstrated that fungi are present in the air and show up in the nasal mucus of just about everyone. In the noses of chronic sinus sufferers, it showed that certain types of white blood cells will attack the fungi that are present. In doing so these cells create a compound that damages nasal...
