Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) or median neuropathy at the wrist is a medical condition in which the median nerve is compressed at the wrist, leading to pain, paresthesias, and muscle weakness in the hand. True carpal tunnel only elicits symptoms in the thumb, index, and middle fingers, along the median nerve distribution, but some patients may experience symptoms in the palm as well.^[1] A form of compressive neuropathy, CTS is more common in women than it is in men and has a peak incidence around age 42, though it can occur at any age.^[2] The lifetime risk for CTS is around 10% of the adult population.^[3]

Diet and Exercise! #2

Evolutionary Fitness
The 5,000-year-old diet.

Bryan Appleyard thinks he has found a diet that really works: it took him three weeks to shed 14lb with healthy ease. But he had to go back 5,000 years.

Diet and Exercise! #1

Physical exercise is any bodily activity that enhances or maintains physical fitness and overall health. It is performed for many different reasons. These include: strengthening muscles and the cardiovascular system, honing athletic skills, and weight loss or maintenance in the overweight. Frequent and regular physical exercise boosts the immune system, and helps prevent diseases of affluence such as heart disease, cardiovascular disease, Type 2 diabetes and obesity.^[1][2] It also improves mental health and helps prevent depression.

Proper nutrition is at least as important to health as exercise. When exercising, it becomes even more important to have a good diet to ensure that the body has the correct ratio of macronutrients whilst providing ample micronutrients, in order to aid the body with the recovery process following strenuous exercise.^[23]

Proper rest and recovery are also as important to health as exercise; otherwise the body exists in a permanently injured state and will not improve or adapt adequately to the exercise. Hence, it is important to remember to allow adequate recovery between exercise sessions.

The above two factors can be compromised by psychological compulsions (eating disorders such as exercise bulimia, anorexia, and other bulimias), misinformation, a lack of organization, or a lack of motivation. These all lead to a decreased state of health. (wikipedia)

Deodorant Allergy?

How to Make Your Own Deodorant

Things You’ll Need:

• A container
• Baking Soda
• Corn Starch
• Mint or Bay Leaves
• Rubbing Alcohol
• Essential oil or fragrance

Dry Deodorant #1
Plain baking soda works wonders because it neutralizes odors. If it can neutralize the odor of a cat litter box, imagine what it will do for your underarms.

Fill a small shaker container or tin and just sprinkle a light covering of baking soda onto a damp washcloth. Pat on. Don’t rinse. For a fragranced deodorant powder, add a few mint or bay leaves to the tin.

Dry Deodorant #2
Combine the following in a plastic zipper bag,
1/2 cup baking soda
1/2 cup cornstarch
a few mint or bay leaves
Shake well and pour into a tin with a lid.

To use: apply with dry washcloth & dust on. Alternately reuse an empty spice jar and sprinkle onto damp armpit. For unscented deodorant, omit the bay or mint leaves.

Liquid Deodorant #1
1/4 cup witch hazel extract
1/4 cup aloe vera gel
1/4 cup water
1 teaspoon vegetable glycerin
a few drops essential oils, if you prefer fragranced deodorant.
Combine all in a spray bottle, shake well. Will keep almost forever

Liquid Deodorant #2
1 cup rubbing alcohol
1 cup baking soda
Mix thoroughly and keep in a spray bottle. Apply as you would any spray or pump deodorant

Heart disease: Chelation Therapy

Heart disease

Some alternative medicine practitioners administer chelating agents, usually EDTA, to patients with hardening of the arteries. The use of EDTA chelation therapy as a treatment for coronary artery disease has not been shown to be effective and is not approved by the FDA.[14] Several possible mechanisms have been proposed, though none have been scientifically validated. The procedure might leech calcium directly from the fatty plaques that block the arteries; stimulate the release of a hormone that removes deposited calcium or lowers cholesterol levels; or reduce oxidative stress on the blood vessel walls.[2] The US National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine is currently conducting a trial of efficacy, expected to complete around July 2009.[15]

The American Heart Association states that there is currently "no scientific evidence to demonstrate any benefit from this form of therapy" and that the "United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the American College of Cardiology all agree with the American Heart Association" that "there have been no adequate, controlled, published scientific studies using currently approved scientific methodology to support this therapy for cardiovascular disease."[14] Atwood et al. consider that methodological flaws and lack of prior probability make this trial "unethical, dangerous, pointless, and wasteful."[13]
