Dr Hans Selye of McGill University, Montreal, noted in his experiments with rats that removal of their adrenal glands gave rise to severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis) when foreign substances were injected into them. Family member rats from the same cage, who had their adrenal glands intact, exhibited only minor allergic reactions when injected with the [...]
The exact biochemical pathways that mediate the effect of food on brain cells are still a subject of controversy among scientists. However, scientists generally agree on the following: 1. Allergies can target the brain cells as readily as they can target the skin, nose, joint and bronchial cells of the body. The histamine released into [...]
Ask your doctor to prescribe Nystatin for you. Twenty to thirty minutes before breakfast, and before going to bed, have 1/2 teaspoon of Nystatin powder. Dump it on your tongue, mix fit with your saliva and rinse it around your mouth, swallowing it slowly, bit by bit, over a one to two minute period. Some [...]

There are things in life that only we can do for ourselves and learning to pace ourselves is one of those. No one can do this for us because we all have such varying levels of tolerance to stress. It’s up to us to discern our own tolerance levels and recognise our own early warning [...]
It is a truth universally acknowledged that regular exercise is good for the health. The huge interest in their own health that people in western countries have been showing in recent years has been accompanied by growing participation in many forms of exercise. There are many exercise programs and schemes to be found, so it [...]
The Alexander Technique is a method of postural re-education which aims to increase the pupil’s awareness of their balance and movement in everyday activity. This method was originated by F.M. Alexander over 100 years ago. The task of the Alexander teacher is to help make pupils more aware of their physical self while enabling them [...]
Chemonucleolysis (discolysis)-This is a method of treating a prolapsed disc. It is a chemical alternative to disc surgery, and is used when time and rest have failed to reduce a disc protrusion which is involving a sciatic nerve. It has much the same success rate as surgery, with different but no fewer risks, and perhaps [...]
The kinds of back trouble that have been described so far derive from some dysfunction of the spine or from a congenital deformity, or from a violent injury, or from gradual deterioration with use and age. There are other kinds of back trouble. Some of them affect the spine mainly or solely; others affect various [...]
When you start to lean forwards, the muscles of the back become active and tensed in order to counter the effects of gravity on the upper half of the body which is now forward of the hips, so that the trunk is cantilevered from the pelvis. There is a compensatory movement of the hips backwards [...]
