			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="_mcePaste">The management of multiple sclerosis (MS) involves changing one&#8217;s diet and lifestyle and also taking specific supplements. This regime can help someone with MS improve, rather than get worse. Evening primrose oil is a very important nutritional supplement in the management of MS.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">In particular, the kind of fat which someone eats seems to have a strong bearing on MS.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">The geographical distribution of MS</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">One of the most marked features of MS is its geographical distribution. MS is a disease of temperate zones, and is virtually non-existent in the tropics. One of the key differences between areas of high and low incidence of MS seems to be the food that people eat.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">In those places where MS is commonest, people eat a lot of dairy produce. In those places where MS occurrence is lowest, people eat more fish and vegetable oils. The difference between an area of high MS and low MS can be as little as a few miles. So some of the starkest contrasts in MS distribution are in Norway where MS is high in inland areas where dairy farming is practiced and low in coastal areas where people eat a lot of fish. Similarly in some Scottish islands, the rates of MS can fluctuate from very high to very low according to the main diet of the local people &#8211; high in areas of dairy farming and low in fishing areas.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">One of the first doctors to look at the world map of MS was Professor Roy Swank, now based in Portland, Oregon, USA.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">He first developed his famous Swank Low Fat Diet in 1948. Swank noticed several important clues. First, the amount of saturated fat in the typical American diet was rising dramatically. And as the consumption of saturated fat increased, so did the incidence of certain diseases &#8211; particularly MS, heart disease and stroke.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">There were further clues for any medical detectives on the look-out during World War II. It was noticed that young American soldiers who had died of heart attacks during training and battle showed a greater degree of hardening of the arteries than their Oriental counterparts who ate mostly vegetables and rice.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">In occupied Norway, fat consumption fell by 50% during food shortages. At the same time, there were significant reductions in death rates from heart attacks, and the rate of MS dropped too.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">In the UK today, 40% of our diet is saturated fat. Around the world, tipping the balance of saturated/unsaturated fat in favour of saturated fats has coincided with an increase not just in MS, but also in cardiovascular (heart and stroke) diseases.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">The amount of sugar we eat has increased enormously in the same period of time. Some nutritionists believe that humans were not designed to thrive on a high saturated fat plus high sugar diet. The rise in chronic disease coincides with these radical changes in diet in the western world.</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="_mcePaste">This stubborn and infuriating condition afflicts many men and women in their fifth and sixth decades of life. Accounts of burning feet appeared in The War Diary of Weary Dunlop, who cared for Australian prisoners of war in Japanese concentration camps. The prisoners burning feet related more to Berri Berri and the absence of Vitamin В1, than it did to the paucity of calories.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">Thiamine deficiency in contemporary Australia occurs frequently in alcoholics who drink an appropriate quantity of calories; but insufficient vitamins. Burning feet and loss of power in the lower legs of alcoholics are clear signs of thiamine deficiency that is reversible by the prescription of Vitamin В1.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">Burning feet without an excess of alcohol may still relate to unbalanced nutrition. More often it can be a sign of arthritis or disc degeneration in the lower spine. In such cases arthritic joints pinch the nerve roots running to the feet, frequently at the lower levels of the lumbar spine.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">Home Remedies</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">The consumption of Vitamin В1 is mandatory for all persons drinking more than two pots of beer a day. Non drinkers or drinkers with burning feet and without excess alcohol consumption still find Vitamin B1 useful; and for unknown reasons some gain relief from Vitamin B6. Attention to posture and lumbar support when sleeping or lying will sometimes improve the burning in those who suffer nerve root irritation consequent to a degenerative disorder of the lumbar spine.</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="_mcePaste">Because the behavior this disease produces can be so difficult every person caring for a dementia victim sometimes feels at loose ends. But people who actively work at solving problems are better off than those who just throw up their hands. While handling alarming symptoms is hard, it is a skill that can be learned.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">Psychologist Steve Zarit and his colleagues devised these steps to help caregivers find workable solutions to problems that might otherwise leave them gnashing their teeth. Though it is much better to have a trained counselor help you, you might try this approach on your own.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">Identify the reasons for the behavior. The best way to do this is to keep a log recording the upsetting behavior, when it happens, your reaction, and anything else relevant to understanding its cause. For instance, your log might read: (1) &#8220;Those same questions a million times an hour&#8221; &#8211; &#8220;Happens after I have left her; worst nights when I leave for the day &#8211; Attention-getting mechanism? Way of keeping me in the room? Attempt to entertain me?&#8221; (2) &#8220;Night wandering» &#8211; &#8220;Worst when she has not gone out during the day. Sure to happen if she takes a nap.&#8221;</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">List several possible solutions. Brainstorm, coming up with several ways of stopping the behavior. Some solutions should flow logically from what you have noted in the log. For instance, if you are grappling with problem 1, you might write: &#8220;(1) When I go out for the day, I&#8217;ll ask Mary to come over. (2) Would it be so bad to take her on some of those trips? (3) Look into a day hospital so she won&#8217;t be so lonely on the days I do go out.&#8221; If you are struggling with problem 2, this might be your strategy: &#8220;(1) Never let her nap during the day! (2) Ask the doctor about changing that sleep-inducing medicine from after lunch to before bed. (3) Take an evening walk with her.&#8221;</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">Arrive at a best plan. Evaluate how feasible each solution is, weeding out alternatives that are less likely to work: &#8220;It would be hard to keep her with me or always invite people in; the day hospital seems the best choice.&#8221; &#8220;I cannot hover around to prevent her dozing off, but we might both enjoy a brisk evening walk.&#8221;</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">Carry out the plan in fantasy. Mentally walk through the plan to anticipate and get around possible roadblocks: &#8216; &#8216;This is the way I will go about finding a day hospital and getting her in. I will sell her on the idea by methods X, Y, and Z so she doesn&#8217;t reject it out of hand.&#8221;</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">Carry out the plan in reality. Then act. If your plan doesn&#8217;t work, try another. Do not conclude that what is happening is uncontrollable &#8211; that you cannot change things.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">Zarit emphasizes that sometimes modifying your feelings may be the answer, even if the person&#8217;s actions do not change. Behavior tends to be hardest to tolerate when it appears premeditated &#8211; when someone seems to be annoying or difficult on purpose.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">When abilities fluctuate, the natural interpretation is that the person could do better with some real effort. Not true! For unknown physiological reasons, people with dementia have good and bad days. Another intensely irritating symptom that merely appears premeditated is insulting accusations. If your wife who has Alzheimer&#8217;s disease accuses you of stealing her money or her keys, remind yourself her real target is not you. Seeing you as the villain protects her from admitting the unthinkable: &#8220;I am losing my grip on life.&#8221;</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">When you are confronted with upsetting behavior, school yourself in this idea: the illness is responsible. People with dementia cannot help how they act.</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="_mcePaste">Since other people are not dealing with the person daily, it is normal for them to misunderstand what is going on. Alzheimer&#8217;s disease is frightening. When people are afraid, they shy away from confronting the truth; they tend to criticize. You may be told the problem is too little mental stimulation; Dad should be stuffed with vitamin B. You may be pressured to choose a nursing home when you do not want to, or relatives and friends may berate you for choosing this option, not understanding that it may be the best choice.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">Another natural reaction to fear is to beat a hasty retreat. Relatives no longer call; friends don&#8217;t come around. Understand that anxiety &#8211; not lack of interest &#8211; is probably driving them away. If you want their support and involvement, enlighten them. Send articles that explain the disease; more important, consider inviting family and friends to visit and see what is going on. While you may want to shield other people from &#8220;the bitter truth,&#8221; a dose of reality is unlikely to be much worse than what they are already imagining.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">Visits may perk up the person you are caring for, too. Even if you think your husband is too confused to know or get any pleasure from the grandchildren, you might be surprised. We all can guess, but we never know exactly what glimmers of understanding remain in anyone&#8217;s mind.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">Or if visiting is genuinely too threatening, educate loved ones and help them rally around via a more formal route. If your doctor is involved and knowledgeable, ask him to set up a family meeting to explain the illness. Coming from a neutral third party, your need for support and understanding will penetrate loud and clear. You may be surprised how even alienated family members may reach out in sympathy once they understand what you are coping with.</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">The death of someone close is always stressful and upsetting for a child. The level, intensity and duration of grief depends on a number of factors which include the age of the child, his relationship to the person who died (e.g. parent, grandparent, classmate), whether the death was sudden or was anticipated, and so on.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">Young children find it difficult to understand the concept of death, and explanations must be couched in language suited to their level of comprehension. Older children experience the same grief reactions as adults. Younger children will possibly fear that they too may die. There will often be intense sadness, loss of appetite, sleep difficulties and sometimes regressive behaviour, such as increased dependency, wetting the bed at night, thumb-sucking, and so on.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">It is always best to be open with children at this time. <a href="http://www.d-store.net/?product=atropisol" title="Treating spasms in the stomach, intestines, and other organs">It is important for children to see parents grieving; in a sense, it makes it easier for children to express their feelings without thinking that they should act in a certain way.</a> Like adults, their grief will usually be eased by the passage of time. They should be allowed to talk about the deceased, as a way of working through their grief.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">Parents are often uncertain about whether to allow their children to attend the funeral of a family member who has died. There is no hard and fast rule, and parents have to make a decision taking into consideration all the circumstances at the time. Children of school age, and some who are younger, certainly are able to understand what funerals are about, and probably should attend.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">Children may also become distressed by the death of a family pet. Parents should not try to diminish their grief by saying things like &#8216;It was only a dog&#8217; or &#8216;Don&#8217;t cry — we will buy you another one&#8217;. It is often a good idea to allow some time to pass before replacing the animal that has died, to allow the child to experience and work through his feelings of grief.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">A brace, using a special collar is also popular to immobilise the neck and allow the injury to heal.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">Cases that have persistent symptoms over many months or even years may be due to disruption of the intervertebral disc, the cushion of cartilage between the vertebral bodies.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">Operations to remove these discs and then to fuse the vertebral bodies together may be undertaken. But the results are not altogether satisfactory.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">The brace, although favored by many doctors, does tend to result in considerable stiffness of the neck.<br />
</span></p>
<p><a href="http://leadmedic.com/product_info.php?cPath=56&amp;products_id=806" title="Purinethol is used to treat leukemia."><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">The most successful form of treatment I have found is gradual active and passive mobilisation of the neck.<br />
</span></a></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">This should be under the direction of a doctor and carried out by a qualified physiotherapist.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">Treatment may take some months, but the results are worthwhile.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">Mobilisation is different from manipulation. In the latter a sudden sharp movement is carried out to break down adhesions, or to reposition subluxated joints.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">This may produce good results, but in between manipulations, adhesions reform and lack of mobility occurs.<br />

</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">Traveller&#8217;s diarrhoea is usually regarded as being spread by contaminated water. It is unusual in the developed countries, where the standard of personal hygiene is high and proper government measures are taken to assure a clean water supply.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">There is still considerable argument about the causative agents. E. coli is a normal inhabitant of the human and animal bowel and many cases of traveller&#8217;s diarrhoea are believed to be due to virulent strains of this organism to which the local inhabitants have become immune.<br />

</span></a></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">Staphylococcus is a germ which causes boils and other skin infections. Someone with these conditions may infect food by handling it and the toxin could be absorbed and cause severe symptoms if the food is eaten.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">Botulism is another disease caused by such a toxin. The offending germ grows only in conditions where there is virtually no oxygen.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">Women are particulary prone to dermatitis of the hands because they are frequently exposed to water, harsh detergents and a variety of chemicals.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">Men may have the same trouble with some jobs or hobbies but women seem to suffer more.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">Stress and tension can lower a woman&#8217;s resistance and so can hard work. Women who work have two jobs — the paid one and home — and are often under more stress and work harder than their husbands. Those who are prone to eczema or other skin problems are more at risk.<br />

<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">What can women do to lower the risk of dermatitis of the hands?<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">Prevention is more important than cure. <a href="http://leadmedic.com/product_info.php?cPath=56&amp;products_id=4286" title="Strattera is used for treating attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).">If rubber gloves are worn when washing up, doing the laundry or scrubbing floors, consideration should be given to wearing inner cotton gloves.<br />
</a></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">Most rubber gloves, especially in hot water, make the hands perspire. Being wet, they are prone to other skin problems such as paronychia or infection at the edge of the nail.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">The cotton inner gloves will absorb this perspiration and so further protect the hands. Any chemicals should be quickly wiped from the hands and frequent washing should be avoided.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">Once the rash has developed, seeing the doctor and getting some form of cream, usually a cortisone derivative, will generally result in rapid clearing of the rash, but care is needed to prevent its recurrence.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">Halvah is made from sesame seeds and honey. It has been used in the Orient for thousands of years as a popular candy. Even now, halvah is very popular in the Middle East—in Turkey, Israel-, and the Arabian countries. In ancient Babylon women ate halvah to restore their vitality and sex appeal.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">A French doctor&#8217;s research a few years ago gave scientific support to the old folklore. Sesame seeds have been found to be rich in the minerals magnesium and potassium, and honey is rich in aspartic acid, one of the amino acids. A New Jersey doctor has used very similar ingredients in a prescription drug to treat hundreds of women with what he calls &#8220;the housewife syndrome,&#8221; or chronic fatigue, insomnia and lethargy in lovemaking. 87 percent of his patients responded with a startling change in their condition: their fatigue and lethargy disappeared and they became cheerful and energetic.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">Sesame seeds are one of the real wonder foods of nature. <a href="http://www.medrx-one.me/order_cheap_20144_urso_rx_pills.php" title="Urso ( Ursodiol )">They are extremely rich in calcium; in fact they are richer in calcium than milk, cheese or nuts.</a> Their protein content is high, too—19 to 28 percent—higher than meats; and sesame protein is of a very high quality. Sesame seeds are also very rich in unsaturated fatty acids and lecithin, in B-vitamins, especially inositol and choline, and they also are a good source of vitamin E—all substances vital for the health of the reproductive system.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">Sesame is one of the earliest grains cultivated by man. Even now in many countries of the East, Middle East and East Europe, sesame seeds are a staple food. In the United States, you can buy plain sesame seeds or many various products made from sesame in health food stores. There is halvah, sesame seed oil, and many kinds of peanut-butter-like spreads.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">It has been long recognized that hair is a living part of your body, just as your skin, teeth or nails, and that it must be fed by your blood stream. Your blood can not deliver to your hair all the required nutrients unless it is supplied with all these nutrients from your food. But if your diet is deficient in some of the required vitamins, minerals, trace elements and proteins, then your blood will be deficient in these elements, too, and will not be able to supply them to your hair.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">This is self evident—but this is only half of the truth!<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">It is often said that &#8220;you are what you eat,&#8221; which is also only half of the truth. <a href="http://leadmedic.com/product_info.php?cPath=56&amp;products_id=823" title="Topamax (Topiramate)">The fact is that you are not what you eat, but what you assimilate.</a> You may eat the most nutritious and best-balanced diet in the world, but if your digestive and assimilative system is out of order and can not assimilate the required nutrients and send them to the blood, then you still can be suffering from malnutrition and nutritional deficiencies.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">The same is true in regard to hair growth. Books have been written on the relationship between nutrition and hair growth. You need such and such food factors in order to supply your hair with all the nutritive elements it needs for healthy growth. But if your blood vessels and the small blood capillaries in your scalp are so constricted that they are unable to supply blood to the hair follicles, then even if you eat the best food in the world and take all the extra nutrients required for hair growth in the form of vitamin and mineral supplements, it won&#8217;t do your hair a bit of good! Unless you improve the blood circulation in the scalp so that the required nutrients will be able to get to the hair roots, all your attempts to &#8220;feed your hair from within&#8221; will be futile.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">That&#8217;s why the Swedish H-Pantoten tablets have been so successful. Not only do they contain the vital nutritive elements, known to science today to be essential for healthy hair growth, but they also contain certain B-complex vitamins known to be able to dilate the blood vessels so that these nutrients can travel through the blood stream to the hair roots.<br />
