Sleep apnea is a medical state of the human body where an individual fails to breath for a short fraction time during his sleep at night.

When the throat specialist I consulted diagnosed that I suffer from mild sleep apnea, I decided I wouldn't rush in and accept the offered solution, which was to have some contraptions either strapped to my face or implanted in my mouth so I could get a good night's sleep. The doctor warned that not taking immediate remedial action for mild sleep apnea could make the situation worse and in the long term, prove fatal. I think I've been having mild sleep deprivation for as long as I can remember so I decided that another week or two won't make matters any worse. A good night's sleep would have to wait until I did some research of my own. To begin with, I decided to talk to a few friends[..]

Common symptoms of back pain may include spasms, stiffness, pain, numbness, and sometimes pain in the leg area and depends on the cause of pain and its severity. Back[..]

There's a new trend in your kids' classrooms nowadays.  Instead of staring at the board in front, the kids are lying on the floor near their desks practicing yoga. According to fourth-grade teacher Elisabeth Beckwith, she wanted her students at Fernbank Elementary School in Decatur, Georgia, to pay attention to a lesson on Greek mythology. Linking the symbols of Greek gods to yoga poses, such as dog position and the stork pose, Beckwith has high hopes that the students will better retain the material and be re-energized in the middle of the day. It's a fun way for them to think about things,Beckwith said. You know, it's healthy for them because they're getting the breathing right and[..]

If you're a true extreme sports fan, then you've seen the incredible stunts of the Yasutoko brothers... you're aware of the legend of Tony Hawk... and you've seen more than one brave climber swing from ledge to ledge along a complex artificial cliff face. Extreme sports professionals make it look easy, but the reality is that it is not. In fact, extreme sports require an extraordinary degree of precision and coordination that borders on a need for perfection. In very few sports is one's sense of timing critical not only to winning, but also to preventing serious, life-threatening injuries. Extreme sports are tagged such for a very good reason. For casual fans of extreme sports such as[..]

The liver is the largest glandular organ in the body and is responsible for the healthy functions of just about every other organ. Practically, everything we eat and inhale goes through the liver for purification. The liver also has other important functions and it is therefore necessary to make sure that we are taking care of our liver.

Malaria is a disease that is found all over the planet, however this is endemic in tropical climates where there are swamps, marshes or pools of stagnant water, vegetation, as well as a poorly-fed population. This disease is spread around by mosquitoes, and an interesting fact is that it's the female mosquito that bites the prospective malarial patient. The male insect does not carry the parasites which cause the disease, as the parasites transmitted by the female mosquito enters the blood stream and reach the liver where they mature and multiply. Symptoms Of Malaria It's been observed that for a day or two before the actual fever sets in, the patient may suffer headaches, vague body and[..]

It is a common belief that management and leadership are the same role. While it is common that a manager also plays the part of the leader, these two roles are truly separate in function and in the way they add to the success of an orginization. By understanding the difference between management and leadership you will become more effective in helping others see the road ahead. To understand the difference between management and leadership, consider the construction of a new road. To build that road there are workers, machinery and tools which are all vital in the road's construction. Managers help ensure those workers, machinery and tools work together in the most efficient way[..]

I was suffering with pain for years and only when it started to get worse, I decided to look for help. It became increasingly painful and difficult to walk and I had no energy at all. I came to the conclusion that I needed to see an Osteopath to find out if he could help me due to the simple fact that my doctor always said there was nothing wrong with me. When the Osteopath examined me and asked where my pain was, I referred it to be on my shoulders, arms, hips and knees and explained to him they were hurting for some time. My query was if the pain on my shoulder could be causing the ones on my hips and knees.  At that moment, he was pressuring certain points on my body with my[..]

This seems to be the newest question being asked by the almost 10 million people who suffer from day to day from the chronic disabling disease that you can't see, test, or prove, unless you mean the 11 out of 18 tender points that only 20% of all people with chronic widespread pain had. The NIAMS defines Fibromyalgia as, a disorder that causes muscle pain and fatigue (feeling tired). People with fibromyalgia have tender points"on the body. Tender points are specific places on the neck, shoulders, back, hips, arms, and legs. These points hurt when pressure is put on them. Ah, if this were all Fibromyalgia consisted of, but that's another article! Fibromyalgia is something different for[..]

What is a knot? A knot is when the sufferer feels tension, and reaching his hand to touch the spot, he feels a raised lump of muscle. What is the lump made of? If he rubs it back and forth, it feels crunchy, as if there were some substance in there. This crunching has lead many to guess that there are "calcium crystals" in there. When this image is believed, clearly the way to cure the knot would be to "break up the crystals." This requires "stripping," "breaking," and generally mechanical forces from outside the body to "tenderize" the meat of the muscles, like one of those wooden mallets used by thrifty cooks to tenderize cheaper cuts of beef. Of course, after mechanical force is[..]

The Western diet has a love affair with "fast food". There are sugar laden breakfast cereals, snack cakes, fruit juices, and soft drinks. Our frozen, "already prepared" dinners and appetizers are high in sodium. Then add into that our "fast food" restaurants with foods high in fat and cholesterol, including but not limited to fried hamburgers, French fries, fried chicken, fried pies and the list goes on. These are a few of the food choices made every day by millions of people in our society. Study after study has shown us that a diet of these foods will adversely affect our health. Eating too much sugar can result in diabetes...too much sodium can result in high blood pressure....too[..]

It is no secret that women have different nutritional needs than men - and womens multi vitamin supplements are often an excellent solution for these needs. This is especially important as women get older; being prone to osteoporosis, supplements for strong bones are particularly important. With all the many, many nutrition supplements on the market however, knowing just which womens multi vitamin to use can be a conundrum. Not All Womens Multi Vitamins Are The Same The fact is that nutrition supplements for women and men can vary widely in terms of price and quality - and one does not necessarily have anything to do with the other. Since there is little regulation over who can and[..]

g the early 1980s, a man called Herb Kern, began to believe that his seasonal cycle of fatigue and depression may be caused by the shorter and duller daylight hours of winter. Herb approached the National Institute for Mental Health (USA) with his observations. There, doctors proposed a treatment whereby Herb was exposed to bright light, equivalent to summer sunlight. By the fourth day of light exposure his symptoms had virtually disappeared (Lewy et al 1982). This was the start of our acknowledging the condition that has come to be known as Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) or the Winter Blues. In all mammals, the desire to sleep is brought on by the secretion of a hormone called[..]

I have just started a new six-week teleclass series on chronic illness, Tap Into Your Healthy Self, and in the first teleclass we discussed, and used EFT on, the downside of being well and healthy. This is a concept which continues to fascinate me. The first reaction to there being a downside to being well and healthy is most likely to be one of surprise and sometimes, anger. Everyone wants to be well, don't they? No one chooses to be ill. Or do they? Is remaining chronically ill a way to remain safe and un-pressurized? Fewer demands and expectations are put upon us when we are ill; we don't need to prove ourselves, and finally, we don't have to be responsible for everyone and[..]

If you want to become more active as a part of managing your chronic pain condition, the first step (after you check with your doctor, of course), is to know why you haven't exercised yet. Easy enough - but how do we then transform those limiting beliefs into beliefs that will get us off the couch? Through a four-step process, we can actually change our beliefs. It isn't easy, but it is simple. Here's how you do it: 1: Define Your Vision Think about your ideal vision of yourself. Since we're discussing belief-changing in the context of starting an exercise program, let's consider our ideal selves in movement. Do you dream of hiking up a mountain? Walking the length of an 800-mile trail?[..]

Yes. Amazing, isn't it? This is a statement that was made by the Centre for Disease Control (CDC) in the States a short while ago. And the even more shocking fact? Conventional medicine cannot offer any consistent hope for recovery. In fact, many doctors having excluded all other possibilities, only reluctantly then diagnose CFS. And the reluctance? Because they often don't believe in it and don't know how to treat it. However, by that time sometimes months if not years can have passed. And the best time to treat CFS? As soon as the first symptoms set in. How can we change this public neglect? Firstly, we need to identify it quicker. We need to identify it before the personality has[..]

Pregnancy with endometriosis is possible.  Although the condition is more common among infertile women, there is no causal relationship.    In other words, the condition does not cause infertility, nor does infertility cause the condition.  But, if it worsens as the years go by, it can damage the ovaries or cause scarring of the fallopian tubes.    So, the first step is to try and get the problem under control as soon as possible.  There is no cure, but it can be managed effectively.     Surveys indicate that women with endometriosis are more likely to have fibromyalgia, asthma, allergies, ME/CFS and autoimmune diseases.  Excessive inflammation is associated with all of these[..]

The virus of Epstein-Barr (EBV) is a human virus common that mononucleosis and infectious plays of causes a role in the appearance of the two rare shapes of cancer: Lymphoma of Burkitt , and nasopharyngeal carcinome. The virus occurs in the whole world, and the majority of the people formerly become infected with EBV during their lives. In the United States, as much of as 95% of adults between 35 and 40 years were infected. Many children become infected with EBV, and these infections usually do not cause any symptom or are indistinguishable from the other soft and short diseases of childhood. The symptoms the mono include[..]

You might not recognize the name, but you may be familiar with the effects of Central Nervous System (CNS) Fatigue. The symptoms of CNS Fatigue can include lack of motivation, poor mood, impaired cognitive ability and abnormally high perceptions in regards to the force of exertion-that is, we think we're working out a lot harder than we actually are. These are the most obvious symptoms, but there are other less evident ones too. You already know that the central nervous system is what controls our body's functions, which includes muscle contractions. The theory behind CNS Fatigue is that there are not one, but two points from which our muscles can become fatigued: 1) in the muscle[..]

It's hard to imagine that this could be so, but I'm finding that I have to be ambitious about being "lazy". How amusing! If you're like most of my clients (and myself), you're very used to packing every day full of activities, responsibilities, "stuff". You may take pride and pleasure in the amount of work you're able to accomplish, the number of tasks and projects you can juggle, the sheer number of initiatives you're involved in. There may come a time, though, when you realize that some of the most important things you'd like to accomplish require the kind of time and focus that dictates some very substantial whittling away at some of what you're involved in. And that can be tough (I[..]

When the weather starts to warm up and the days get longer, we are all drawn outdoors to enjoy the sun. Many will recall seemingly endless hours outdoors, soaking up the sun's rays without a care. Unfortunately, sunbathing isn't as carefree an activity as it used to be. These days, there's more to worry about, such as premature aging, scarring and blemishes, or even skin cancer. With so many options for sunless tanning, finding the best sunless tanning products and methods can be confusing. In terms of coverage, consistency of color, and follow up care of the tan, spray booth tanning is a good bet. Though it can be costly, and the convenience of home application is lost, many people[..]

In this article, I am going to explode a few myths. There are thousands upon thousand of companies trying to sell you Fibromyalgia/CFS cures on the internet; all of them have a similar story. Take their pill or supplement, follow their diet or detox, or maybe even avoid certain foods, and you will be miraculously cured of your illness pain, and fatigue. There are detox regimes, candida cures, herbal supplements, vitamins and minerals, hormone supplements, liver cleanses, amino acids etc etc etc. Some of the more convincing advertisements for these products are disguised as articles backed by trials involving 10 or 20 subjects against placebo. Despite what they may advertise, these are[..]

These days, our lives are filled with a lot of stress and strain. We work so hard in order to get that big fat raise or that promotion at work or to get high grades in school in order us to become successful. The problem is that our health is becoming the trade-off for this success that we all want so much. Thanks to the stress and strain that we experience in our daily lives, there are a lot of people today who are suffering from a type of stress-related disorder called adrenal fatigue. Basically, adrenal fatigue affects the adrenal glands in our body as the name suggests. You need to keep in mind that the adrenal glands produce hormones that are responsible to regulate the[..]
