In 2001 my wife diagnosed with Lupus. Our initial reaction was to nod and try and look like we knew what the doctor was talking about, but quite simply we had heard about it, but never knew what it was. Once we arrived home we started to investigate what the disease was and became very scared as we read the words 'disease' and 'death'. However, on reading more, it became evident that Lupus is a disease that can be controlled, doesn't often lead to death, but is certainly life changing. What is Lupus? It is a long-lasing auto-immune disease. (As Auto means self, autoimmune means the immune system essentially attacks the body instead of fighting viruses and bad tissue.) The immune system is...

Eczema can often be a severely troublesome illness, but early initiation of treatment will, in many cases, result in good control of the illness. The condition mostly will resolve itself spontaneously -- 80% of sufferers being free of the disease by the age of 18. It can be very painful and difficult to deal with (that is, not to scratch it) and the available medications can greatly help this rather extreme discomfort. Although for others, it can be hard to treat properly. Eczema usually results in red, blistering, oozing, scaly, brownish, or thickened and often itches. A special type is called atopic dermatitis or atopic eczema. It can be very painful and embarrassing. It can also be a difficult...

Allergy Information

Posted by admin

An allergy occurs, when a person becomes sensitized to a particular substance, that provokes an allergic reaction. These substances are known as allergens, or triggers, because they trigger an overreaction by the body's immune system. There are naturally occurring allergens, such as pollens, environmental substances, such as chemicals, and the foods that we eat, usually proteins, amongst many others. There are four distinct ways in which allergens can enter the body: Eating - as with certain foods. Inhalation - as with dust mites and pollen. Absorption - through the skin, as with some chemicals and plants. Injection - some people are allergic to drugs, such as penicillin. When an allergic person...

There are some people who are allergic to insect stings; this means that their immune systems overreact to the venom injected by a stinging insect. The venom of stinging insects contains several chemicals which, when introduced through a sting, triggers the release of histamine causing local tissue damage and other chemicals that cause allergic symptoms. After the first sting, the allergic person's body produces an allergic substance called Immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibody, which reacts with the insect venom. If he or she is stung again by an insect of the same or similar species, the insect venom interacts with the IgE antibody produced in response to the earlier sting. The resulting tissue damage...

If you asked a doctor what is milk thistle used for, it's doubtful that he or she would be able to tell you. If you asked your dermatologist or your immunologist or any other specialist, it is doubtful that they could provide an answer. If you asked an herbalist or a researcher that specializes in evaluating the medicinal activity of plant extracts, the two of them would be able to give you answers. Here's what they would say. Traditionally, it was used in many cultures to treat jaundice, which is a symptom of liver disease. Some traditional practitioners had a great deal of knowledge about the human body and how it works. Others, logically, did not. The reason that we have medical schools is to...

Glutathione Complex - The Key to a Long Healthy Life The Glutathione complex is one of the most significant substances produced by the human body. The Glutathione molecule is made up of three proteins (tri-peptide) and it is critical to the proper functioning of each and every cell in the human body. Glutathione is without question the most important antioxidant the body produces. Most people recognize the effects of oxidation on many surfaces exposed to the oxygen in the air. For example steel rusts, paints fade, wood burns all due to the oxidation process. Our bodies rely on oxygen to live and grow; unfortunately are bodies are also subject to the negative impacts of oxygen as well. The oxidation...

"Glutathione is the body's master antioxidant and best kept secret to maintaining health." You must have read this sentence several times in magazines, newspapers and on different websites. But how many of you know about Glutathione, and its benefits? Glutathione is not something new, but we are not aware about its significance in our lives. Glutathione is made by our body cells from a tri-peptide including - amino acids cysteine, glycine, and glutamic acid for protection and survival. Hence, glutathione is the lifeline of a body. So, glutathione (GSH) levels should be balanced. GSH levels decrease with increasing age, which further leads to several diseases. In order to boost GSH levels people...

Being a nurse I have had the common habit of having 'every' drug in the cupboard for health problems or emergencies! However, in the last few years I've become aware of alternate ways of dealing with symptoms and problems and I'm now more likely to 'think outside the square' and search for a 'natural' alternative such as chiropractic, Cranio-sacral therapy, herbal, Bach flowers, food intolerances, vitamins and minerals rather than an over the counter drug. I love the nature of my work and the individual challenge that each baby presents to me.

If I were only allowed one essential oil in my collection (heaven forbid that should ever come to be!), it would have to be the sacred frankincense oil. Boswellia sacra, sometimes called carterii, has been one of the most ancient and widely used essential oils, and fragrances, for thousands of years in religious and spiritual ceremony throughout the world. While there seems to be quite a debate raging about the sacra and carterii botanical monikers, each being used to identify the same tree, sacra seems to be winning out now as the name of choice. This is a new debate, and before now, frankincense has most widely been known as Boswellia carterii, and while there are a few other varieties, the...

In a recent study, investigators from Emory University in Atlanta studied 28 otherwise healthy men. Half of the participants were diagnosed with major depression while the other half was depression-free. When these participants were faced with stressful situations, inflammatory markers in the blood rose in both the depressed men and the healthy controls, but levels were much higher in the men with major depression. "While inflammation is essential for us to fight bacterial and viral infections, too much inflammation can cause harm," reports the above study author Andrew Miller, M.D. "We now believe that too much inflammation, either at rest or during stress, may predispose people to become depressed...

Slowly but surely I'm approaching the age of sixty as I write these lines. When I look back, starting to run at the age of 49 stands out as one of the best things I ever did in my life. For all these years I ran just because it felt so good. Certainly, it still hurts a little each time I finish one of my 5K jogs. But half an hour later, after a good shower and a big glass of orange juice, I'm floating like a feather. It's pure heaven. There were quite a few sane and concerned parties that tried to dissuade me from this habit of mine. My mom for one, god bless her, still reminds me to "watch my heart."

Qi gong is one of the most powerful tools for staying young and nourishing longevity. How does it work? Builds Internal Strength and Suppleness Unlike traditional western exercise, qi gong trains the energy of the body to invigorate internal organs to promote balanced health and prolong youthful appearance. For example, in the Chinese medicine system, the spleen is said to rule the muscles of the body. Certain qi gong movements stimulate the spleen organ and its associated energy pathways. Thus, when one performs movements that target the spleen, the muscles become more youthful, supple to support the skin and prevent winkles (especially on the face). Also, since it involves deep breath work...

Canine influenza, or dog flu, is it really possible? Up until about six years ago the answer would have been no, it is not possible.

It is commonly known that women who have had children and those who are pregnant are prone to gall stones. Gall bladder polyps, however, are less widely known. Not to confuse polyps with stones-- a polyp is a growth protruding from the lining of the gall bladder and is also referred to as a "tumor." These polyps may be cancerous, but usually are benign. Gall bladder polyps that are less than one centimeter are most often benign, that is not cancerous. Malignant (or cancerous) polyps of the gall bladder are much more likely to be larger than one centimeter. Noncancerous polyps usually require no treatment. Doctors often suggest follow-up examinations in the case of such likely noncancerous, smaller...

Carbohydrates stimulate insulin production to a greater degree than...

As mentioned in the previous issue medical and pharmaceutical research needs to identify a trigger of a disease. Once discovered they can search for a specific substance that suppresses the symptoms. This is clear-cut. With dietetic therapy it is very different. If someone suffers from a certain disease and gets well after changing their nutrition nobody can tell what exactly caused the cure. Is it Vitamin C or D, is it nutrients in general, is it cauliflower or carrots, salad or apples? If it's carrots it could be provitamin A or any other nutrient in it. Nobody knows because science has not been interested in investigating this at all. Rosalind Kalb, an associate vice president of the MS society...

How Do Lasers Work?

Lasers are nothing but light. Light has a spectrum, and within that there is a visible spectrum which we have learnt as an acronym, VIBGYOR since our childhood days. When we filter out light into its individual colours ( meaning individual wavelength; because wavelength defines colour of light), we get specific lights, very simply known as LASER. Laser stands for Light amplification through stimulated emission of radiation. Though the word radiation is used, medical lasers do not emit radiation and are completely safe. The safety aspect, I will deal later. The word Laser is a wrong usage, the correct being LASER, since it is an acronym, but for simplicity, we use the former. Basics of Lasers Lasers...

Unfortunately, while many clinical studies provide valuable data and lead to the creation of life saving drugs and medical treatments, the vast majority of trials do not. It takes many studies to prove a new drug or medical technique successful, and many studies will not have the longevity needed in order to successfully prove a claim. Sometimes this is because the drug or medical technique is proven ineffective, and other times it is an issue of inadequate funding...
