All Seasons Health Wheatgrass Tablets Updates
For adults, refraining from milk and dairy products (except yoghurt), and wind-causing foods should be one of the first steps to take when flatulence begins to be a nuisance. Add a little anti-gas foods like ginger, garlic or spices, when you cook your pot of beans or gaseous vegetables.
If baby is colicky, the lactating mother should also avoid the gas-causing food as mentioned above. Breast-feeding mothers should get extra calcium from sardines, salmon, and dark leafy vegetables like kale, algae (spirulina and chlorella).

All Seasons Health Wheatgrass TabletsNational Institute of Health Launches A Campaign to Create Awareness of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
The National Institute of Health has finally recognized the seriousness of chronic fatigue syndrome. Last week, it launched a major campaign to create awareness of this illness that is so misunderstood and often misdiagnosed.
This is an illness that is shrouded in mystery, difficult to diagnose and therefore treat. People who suffer from depression often complain about feeling tired and lethargic. The campaign hopes to help patients know they have an illness that requires medical attention and help physicians be able to diagnose the illness, and be able to validate and understand the incredible suffering that many people and their families experience in this context.
What is the definition of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome?
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention(CDC), there are two criteria.
1. Have severe chronic fatigue of six months or longer duration with other known medical conditions excluded by clinical diagnosis; and
2. Concurrently have four or more of the following symptoms: substantial impairment in short-term memory or concentration; sore throat; tender lymph nodes; muscle pain; multi-joint pain without swelling or redness; headaches of a new type, pattern or severity; unrefreshing sleep; and post-exertional malaise lasting more than 24 hours.
This is a very ambitious campaign and the NIH and CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) is taking the illness very seriously. The campaign will consist of public service announcements, brochures, a "tool kit" for health-care professionals and a photo exhibit called "The Faces of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome," which will travel to cities across the country throughout 2007.
The Chronic Fatigue and Immune Dysfunction Syndome (CFIDS) Association has been established in Washington, D.C. The Association hopes that it will be a turning point in the public's awareness of the disease as well as in health-care professionals' ability to diagnose and treat it. I encourage you to get the "tool kit" directly from the CFIDS web site.
This illness does not get the respect it deserves. The general public is more likely to call a sufferer "lazy" or "not-motivated", rather than encourage them to seek help. With the new brain imaging techniques, scientists can identify changes in the brain structure of people with CFIDS. The brain hormone systems of people with CFS are different than those without the disease. Brain functioning is also impaired and cells' energy metabolism seems to be compromised.
Although chronic fatigue syndrome is not a form of depression, many patients get depressed because of the illness. CFS patients must learn to pace activties, work and to follow the treatment plans of their healthcare practioner. CFS is finally getting the respect it deserves within the medical community. Do yourself a favor and speak to your doctor about your symptoms.
Charles Donovan was a patient in the FDA investigational trial of vagus nerve stimulation as a treatment for chronic or recurrent treatment-resistant depression. He was implanted with the vagus nerve stimulator in April of 2001. He chronicles his journey from the grips of depression thanks to vagus nerve stimulation therapy in his book: Out of the Black Hole: The Patient's Guide to Vagus Nerve Stimulation and Depression His all inclusive book prepares depression sufferers to make an informed decision about this ninety-minute out-patient procedure. It is a "must read" before you discuss this treatment with your psychiatrist. A prescription for the procedure is required from an M.D. and it is covered by most insurance plans. He is the founder of the http://www.VagusNerveStimulation.com Web Site and Bulletin. |
