Whether you have allergies or not, you will want to watch the video below on Adrenal Fatigue.

Allergies

Allergic reactions typically have an adrenal component. Most allergies involve the release of histamine and other pro-inflammatory substances (substances that produce inflammation). Cortisol, one of the primary hormones produced by the adrenal glands, is a strong anti-inflammatory (a substance that reduces inflammation). In fact, the amount of cortisol circulating in the blood is a key factor in controlling the level of inflammatory reactions in the body.

For this reason, proper adrenal function plays an important role in mediating the histamine release Read the rest of this entry »

Recently, I attended a lecture by Dr. Margaret Christensen, MD and she mentioned in her lecture a book entitled The UltraMind Solution: A Functional Medicine Approach to Brain Disorders. Synchronistically, I later found this book review on Longevity Medicine Review and thought that this had some very good information for those who may deal with brain disorders. Dr. Mark Hyman is a doctor of functional medicine. Functional doctors treat each patient individually. Instead of prescribing a medication to treat the symptom, they look at the body as a whole and find out why the person is exhibiting these symptoms. Disorders range from Alzheimers, ADHD, ADD, schizophrenia, depression and others.

The UltraMind Solution: A Functional Medicine Approach to Brain Disorders
Functional Medicine: A 21st Century Systems Biology Approach to Individualized Clinical Care.
Dr. Mark Hyman’s latest book, The UltraMind Solution (Scribner’s, 2009) presents a highly convincing argument, backed by hundreds of peer-reviewed studies published within the last five years, for the validity of a Read the rest of this entry »

It’s amazing the number of cases of ‘mental illness’ that have a nutritional basis. The latest example of this to catch our eye is the likelihood that celiac disease, an allergic reaction to gluten, can cause schizophrenia.

Researchers at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore followed up earlier studies that found that acereal-free diet helped remission levels among schizophrenic patients.

They tested the theory on a group of 7,997 patients who were admitted to a Danish psychiatric unit for schizophrenia. Read the rest of this entry »

It is no secret that obesity has reached epidemic proportions not only in the USA but other countries as well. And what is more disturbing is that childhood obesity is also on the rise. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), in 2007 an estimated 22 million children under five were thought to be overweight worldwide. Such children are more likely to also be overweight as adults, and to develop a host of health problems—from cardiovascular disease and diabetes to various sorts of cancer (Reprod Toxicol, 2007; 23: 290–6).

Researchers at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore followed up earlier studies that found that acereal-free diet helped remission levels among schizophrenic patients.

They tested the theory on a group of 7,997 patients who were admitted to a Danish psychiatric unit for schizophrenia.

Even before beginning their tests, they found that four patients, five mothers of patients and three fathers of patients were already being treated for celiac disease. They also tested for Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, which have been linked to schizophrenia.

They discovered that those suffering from celiac disease were over three times more likely to suffer schizophrenia than someone who didn’t have the disease, while the risk associated with Crohn’s is lower at 1.4 times, and lower still for ulcerative colitis.
