The Emotional Toll Fibromyalgia Disorder Takes

By Christian Goodman

It's no surprise to most of you by now that I take a lot of interest in feedback from my clients and also potential clients. I have received tremendous amount of feedback from several who have either tried my products, expecting little to no relief (due to the lack of success of so many other products they've tried before mine).

I really take to heart the feedback telling me that not only where my products easy to use with no nasty side effects, but that they also did the one thing so many other products promise but fail to deliver - they brought relief and improved my clients' health.

Additionally, I have received questions from people curious, but jaded, almost desperately asking why my products can help.

While my products have helped many with high blood pressure, weight loss and headaches to name a few, the overwhelming despair has been with certain conditions which have so afflicted people that over time, that the physical drain has evolved into a major depression.

Fibromyalgia is one such condition. Fibromyalgia is a puzzling disease because each of its symptoms alone can be attributed to other conditions. Symptoms include pain in muscles, joints and other soft tissues (including the nerves and face), severe fatigue, sensitivity to touch, bowel disturbances, chest pain, vision problems, dizziness and trouble concentrating.

The difference between Fibromyalgia and a lot of the conditions whose symptoms it can share is that Fibromyalgia has no official cause. This is why so many doctors are quick to dismiss the condition as something else and when that finally fails, they will attribute it to "all in your head."

Would it astonish you to learn it takes five years on an average to be diagnosed with fibromyalgia? FIVE YEARS!!! I have trouble imagining five hours of the chronic symptoms listed above, let alone years.

This is why the emotional toll is so great. Imagine not wanting to leave your house to work or do any other type of social interaction due to the fact that your pain response is so heightened that even shaking hands or the casual pat on the back is unbearable.

We are social animals so that alone can bring about depression. Even if you were to "manage" the symptoms enough to be around others - how long before you've alienated yourself from others because they either don't sympathize with your condition or as so many times happens, your distress is infectious and people feel like they need a break from you?

Hopefully, all of you have an excellent support system of people in place but even with that, pain is a negative feeling and quite naturally brings about negative feelings such as frustration, sadness, anger and hopelessness.

Keep in mind this doesn't happen overnight. Just as fibromyalgia is a chronic condition which oftentimes worsens over time, depression can build and build and before you know it, your depression and your fibromyalgia are so intertwined that you can't separate the two.

I take you back now to my first comments about feedback from my clients. My programs have helped so many, I am entirely confident in advocating them to you. If fibromyalgia is taking both a physical and emotional damage on your health, please give my product a chance to make a change!

Three Common Diabetes Symptoms

By Patricia Millner

Diabetes is a disease which prevents insulin from being used properly in the body of an otherwise healthy adult or child. Insulin is a critical chemical in the body which helps turn sugar and starches into energy the human body can use. When a person has diabetes his or her body has a difficult time producing enough insulin. The symptoms of diabetes can be nearly unnoticeable at first.

Nearly 18 million people have diabetes in the United States, though many doctors and health professionals feel that that number is actually inaccurate due to the large number of people who have diabetes but have never been diagnosed. Knowing the symptoms of diabetes can help you decide if you need to see a doctor or not for a full diagnosis and treatment. Here are some of the more common symptoms of diabetes:

Excessive Hunger and Thirst: Because diabetes affects how your body digests and handles food, you may actually feel more hungry after a big meal than before you began eating. Thirst may also be increased due to sugar building up in you body. Since your body won't be able to handle the sugar your kidneys will have to work overtime. The increased sugar will leave your body as urination, which may leave you dehydrated and wanting more to drink.

Excessive urination: This is sometimes more difficult to notice because different people do urinate at different rates. The increased thirst of diabetes often leads to increased liquid intake which obviously means more urination. Adults who wet the bed at night unexpectedly could actually be suffering from a form of diabetes and not even realize it.

Increased fatigue: There are a number of reasons you may feel unusually fatigued, but the extra work your body is spending just to process sugar may be one of them. Your body also is not able to get as much energy from sugar and starches, so it may feel as though you're always run down simply because you are!

Diabetes is a serious disease that can grow worse if not diagnosed early and treated properly. The good news is that diabetes is a disease which doesn't have to kill you. You can live and even thrive with diabetes as long as you take care of yourself with some common sense treatments and actions. - 29964

You May Have Diabetes If You Have These Symptoms

By Pat Miller

Diabetes is a disease which prevents insulin from being used properly in the body of an otherwise healthy adult or child. Insulin is a critical chemical in the body which helps turn sugar and starches into energy the human body can use. When a person has diabetes his or her body has a difficult time producing enough insulin. The symptoms of diabetes can be nearly unnoticeable at first.

Nearly 18 million people have diabetes in the United States, though many doctors and health professionals feel that that number is actually inaccurate due to the large number of people who have diabetes but have never been diagnosed. Knowing the symptoms of diabetes can help you decide if you need to see a doctor or not for a full diagnosis and treatment. Here are some of the more common symptoms of diabetes:

Extreme hunger and thirst: Since insulin controls how your body digests food, your body, and especially your kidneys, may start working overtime if it doesn't have enough insulin. Since your body isn't getting the full effect of the food you're digesting, your body may feel as though it needs more. Since your kidneys are working hard and trying to eliminate extra sugar through urination, you're losing a lot of liquid and may feel as though you have to keep drinking to replenish your body's water.

Increased Urination: Because your body working overtime to remove sugar from its system, you may find yourself urinating more. As your thirst increases you'll find yourself drinking more liquid, which only means you'll have to urinate sooner rather than later. Many adult bed wetters may really only have an undiagnosed case diabetes which can be treated.

Excessive Fatigue: When you suffer from diabetes your body is working extra hard to process the food you eat. Your body also is not able to get as much energy from sugar and starches, so it may feel as though you're always run down simply because you are!

Diabetes is a treatable but serious disease which can worsen if left undiagnosed and untreated. There are many subtle symptoms of diabetes, and this list is just a small sampling of what you may feel or experience if you have the disease. Talking to a qualified medical professional is always the best course of action if you are not feeling well. - 29964

Important Facts You Need to Know About Natural Insomnia Cures

By Ash Derbe

People that have insomnia sometimes prefer to seek a natural remedy to treat it. Some natural cures include herbal remedies considered harmless to most people including chamomile tea and lemon balm. One must pay close attention that not all natural cures are considered safe. Herbal remedies sometimes contain prescription medicines, and due to their classification, are not always regulated.

Herbal remedies such as valerian root, kava kava, chamomile, lemon balm, St. John's wort and passion flower have been used as insomnia cures for years. Please note the effectiveness and safety of these remedies has not been formally documented nor researched. Existing studies completed on herbal remedies are often hard to interpret. Since they are not based on standardized studies like those done for prescription drugs as prescribed by regulatory bodies such as the FDA.

Melatonin is often used by insomnia sufferers as a sleep aid. The substance melatonin is a hormone manufactured by a gland in the brain called the pineal gland and is derived from an amino acid called tryptophan. Synthetically made melatonin is used for a number of medical situations, such as an insomnia cure. Of the herbal remedies, melatonin is the most studied natural cure for insomnia, however it still remains unregulated in the United States. Proof of its effects as an insomnia cure still remains inconclusive. Existing studies revealed that people do fall asleep faster while taking melatonin, however there is no effect on the duration of sleep time or decreasing sleepiness during daytime hours.

It is important to stress that melatonin is not categorized as a drug, but rather a dietary supplement, and therefore its effectiveness and quality is not controlled in the United States. (Of the developed nations in the world, the U.S. does not regulate melatonin). Melatonin is a strong hormone and it may produce significant side effects, some are still not known, affecting various parts of the body. Since so much is unknown, people taking melatonin as an insomnia cure are experimenting with their own body.

Natural remedies are not regulated by the FDA and therefore their quality is not controlled. Additionally, if body chemistry can be altered by a given compound, then the potential for serious side effects is present. Even if studies show natural remedies have a positive effect, it is important to note that the tested substances are not always the same ones available to the public. Also, herbal remedies were sometimes found to contain standard prescription drugs.

Whether natural or chemical, one should not be compelled to use drugs as insomnia cures. Natural therapies can be used to help provide an insomnia sufferer a good night's sleep without the use of drugs. - 29964

Not Sleeping? A Natural Antiviral Might be the Answer

By Leann Verner

In a recent study, polyDNA interviewed people who were taking the antiviral supplement Gene-Eden for a few weeks. The objective was to collect data about their physical reactions to the supplement. The result of analysis was surprising. It showed that the participants were experiencing better, more refreshing sleep, compared to the time prior to taking the supplement.

Natural antiviral and sleep?

While mostly still unknown to general public, several recent studies reported that chronic viruses can cause sleeping problems, and that antiviral drugs can resolve these problems. One such study was conducted by Professor Jose G. Montoya from the School of Medicine at Stanford University and his team. The study treated a group of people with sleeping problems and high concentrations of chronic viruses in their blood with valganciclovir, an antiviral drug. The study showed that the treatment resolved the sleeping problems in 75% of the participants!

How are these studies related to Gene-Eden?

Gene-Eden is a broad range, all natural, antiviral nutritional supplement that targets viruses during their chronic or latent phase. These viruses include the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), Herpes Simplex virus (HSV), Cytomegalovirus (CMV), Varicella Zoster virus (VZV), Human Papillomavirus (HPV), Hepatitis B Virus (HBV), and Hepatitis C Virus (HCV).

The supplement's formulation includes five compounds. To find these compounds, the scientists at polyDNA first downloaded thousands of scientific papers, than analyzed these papers with their in-house, proprietary bio-informatics software, and then used the results of the analysis to find the most powerful and safe compounds.

Some of the scientific studies that show the strong antiviral effect of the five ingredients are listed on the Gene-Eden website at http://www.gene-eden.com.

Also, as would be expected from the rigorous process used by the scientists at polyDNA, users of Gene-Eden report significant improvements in their health.

How is Gene-Eden different from sleeping pills like Ambien or dietary supplements like melatonin?

Let's consider what the Consumer Reports says about sleeping aids: "Most sleep drugs are supposed to be taken for no longer than two weeks or so, and continued use could lead to serious side effects or dependency; "rebound" insomnia, in which sleeplessness returns and might actually worsen; memory lapses; and hallucinations."

Why do sleeping drugs cause these side effects? Because they change the chemistry in the brain. Sleeping pills induce sleep by creating an artificial chemistry in the user's brain. However, this artificial chemistry is artificial, and therefore, causes serious side effects.

Moreover, the brain is adoptive. It learns fast. When the artificial chemistry becomes the standard chemistry night after night, the brains changes its own chemistry and becomes dependent on the pills for sleeping.

Unlike these artificial sleeping pills, Gene-Eden targets the chronic viruses found in the body, that is, the cause of the sleeping problems. Gene-Eden does not induce an artificial chemistry in the brain. It rather recreates a more natural, healthy chemistry, the one found in people with little or no chronic viruses, those who experience an uninterrupted, refreshing nigh sleep.

Interested in more information about Gene-Eden and sleep? See the "About Sleep" web page at http://www.gene-eden.com/sleep.htm. Would you like to know about other risks associates with chronic viruses? Visit the fascinating web page on the Gene-Eden website that explains, in simple terms, the highly acclaimed scientific discovery by Dr. Hanan Polansky. The discovery shows how chronic viruses can cause major diseases such as heart disease, arthritis, asthma, cancer, diabetes, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, or even accelerated aging.

Chronic Viruses Cause Cancer - Gene-Eden, an Antiviral Supplement, Targets Chronic Viruses

By Lynda Rowen

The immune system is very forceful, but fragile. Many conditions inside or outside your body can harm it. For instance, are you stressed? Are you taking medications for quite a while for lowering cholesterol or blood pressure, or to control other long term conditions? Are you using your cell phone extensively? Do you work or live next to a source of radiation such as a cell phone antenna? Are you older than 40? Stress, medication, radiation (UV, x-Ray, cell phone, etc.), and aging, all hurt your immune system.

Why is and efficient immune system important to your health? Since, among other things, it controls the number of chronic viruses that reside in your body. A few of the most common viruses that infect almost everyone, and stay with us for life, are the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), Herpes Simplex virus (HSV), Cytomegalovirus (CMV), Varicella Zoster virus (VZV), Human Papillomavirus (HPV), Hepatitis B Virus (HBV), and Hepatitis C Virus (HCV).

What happens when the immune system is weak? These viruses multiply and cause major diseases, such as arthritis, heart disease, asthma, cancer, diabetes, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, or even accelerated aging. (See scientific research on the link between chronic viruses and these diseases at http://www.gene-eden.com/Gene-Eden.htm.)

How do the common viruses cause these diseases? And is there a way to protect against them?

Let?s start by taking one disease, cancer, as an example. The process in the other diseases is similar (see below). Scientists believe that cancer results from a genetic mutation. For instance, they believe that breast cancer results from a mutation in the BRCA1 gene. This belief makes sense, since the BRCA1 gene produces a protein (with the same name) that stops the cell from replicating, and therefore, prevents it from turning into a tumor. However, here is the mystery. Only 5% of the breast cancer patients have a mutated gene. What about the other 95% of the patients? What causes cancer in the patients that don?t have a mutation?

Dr. Hanan Polansky solved the mystery in his 2003 ?purple book.? In his book, he identified the cause of cancer in the other 95% of the patient, those without a mutation.

Scientists showed that all people are infected with some chronic viruses. (Curious to know which viruses reside in your body? Ask your doctor for a simple blood test, or visit the Gene-Eden website at http://www.gene-eden.com/immune.htm for further instructions.) According to Dr. Hanan Polansky, chronic viruses are genetic parasites. These viruses compete with the human genes for a scarce and important genetic resource. When they multiply, the human genes lose the competition and ?starve.? There just isn?t enough of the scarce resource for everyone. Starved human genes don?t function properly, and start to show the behavior that scientists usually see in mutated genes. Now, we all know that mutated genes cause disease. So, it is easy to see why starved genes, which behave like mutated genes, also cause disease.

For a more detailed explanation of Dr. Hanan Polansky?s discovery, specifically formulated for the general public, see http://www.gene-eden.com/Gene-Eden.htm.

Breast cancer and the BRCA1 are not unique. When a chronic virus starves another gene, called CD18, the infected host develops atherosclerosis, heart attacks, and even stroke. When a chronic virus starves a third gene, called TF, the host develops autoimmune diseases, such as juvenile diabetes, lupus, arthritis, Crohn's disease, and the list goes on and on.

Why is Dr. Hanan Polansky?s discovery important?

It is important since it inspired the scientists at polyDNA to develop the antiviral supplement Gene-Eden, which, for the first time, targets, the cause and not the symptoms of the major diseases.

Gene-Eden is an all natural, broad range, antiviral dietary supplement that targets many of the most common viruses during their latent or chronic phase. The Gene-Eden formulation includes five natural ingredients. To identify these ingredients, the scientists at polyDNA used a unique process. First, they collected thousands of scientific papers. Then, they analyzed the content of these papers with their in-house, proprietary bio-informatics program. Finally, they used the results of the computer analysis to select the five most powerful, yet safe antiviral ingredients. Do your want to read some of the papers identified with the computer analysis, which were published in scientific journals and show the powerful antiviral effect of the five ingredients? Visit the Gene-Eden website. In addition, and as would be expected from the scientific process used by the scientists at polyDNA to identify these ingredients, users of Gene-Eden describe great health oriented results. - 29964

Fibro - How does Diet contribute

By Christian Goodman

Fibromyalgia, a disease whose symptoms include chronic fatigue (regardless of the amount of sleep attained), muscle and joint pain, has no cause identified. It affects up to 5% of the population, and for the most part women.

With so many people afflicted with this disorder, I am amazed at the number of my clients who have told me that they had to see several doctors before one would actually acknowledge that fibromyalgia is even a health condition.

Not only did they often times not have the support of friends and family, they were then subjected to experts who, at best, summed the condition up to depression. They were then prescribed assorted antidepressants, all with dangerous side effects.

Theres nothing worse than knowing something is wrong with you and being told that its all in your head.

The correspondence I have received has been heart breaking, with the exception of the gratitude expressed by my clients over the fact that my Fibromyalgia program has helped them significantly.

Several have asked if there is something in their diet or environment that could be triggering this condition. Emerging findings shows that diet can, in fact play a very large role.

While diet is not thought to cause or even trigger fibromyalgia like say, migraine headaches, the growing belief is that fibromyalgia symptoms are worsen by other conditions which can be sparked or triggered by certain foods. Once these conditions decrease, the outcome is that fibromyalgia symptoms dissipate.

The thing to keep in mind is that fibromyalgia loves diversity. Just as not everyone is affected to the same extremes, there is no all-inclusive list of foods to shun from. The key is to take note of certain known foods that affect many with fibromyalgia and test to see if your condition is relieved over time as you test eliminate these foods from your diet.

Some foods experts now say to avoid are Aspartame and MSG. They are known to irritate certain pain receptors which for people who suffer fibromyalgia are already heightened.

Getting rid of caffeine from ones diet has also shown to work. While many are tempted to drink caffeine drinks for the pep, it can actually make fatigue worse.

Dairy foods also make the list, although this is debateable. Some think strengthened bones can actually ease joint pain.

Yeast, mold, gluten and vinegar are also included. This is thought to be because TMJ (temporomandibular joint disorder), IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) and migraines, all known to affect fibromyalgia symptoms, are initiated by these foods.

A macrobiotic diet (whole foods) has shown favorable for some fibromyalgia patients, as well as Omega 3 fatty acids (found in fish, flax see, certain nuts and also added to some foods such as cereal).

I also recommend you to try my Fibromyalgia program. Its outcome have been amazing!

Throw Away Your Medications, Infrared Sauna Therapy May Relieve Your Fibromyalgia.

By Eric Parglea

Fibromyalgia is an increasingly far reaching malady which leads to continual, agony encompassing the whole body (including sore joints, muscles, tendons, and other soft tissues. ) Fibromyalgia may cause significant fatigue, morning stiffness the inability to sleep, throbbing heads, deadened sensation in hands and feet, despair, and apprehension.

The most typical treatment for fibromyalgia is pain relief medication the fight their relentless symptoms. As everyone knows there also are negative complications related to long-term use of common pain relief medications like analgesics. Contemporary studies of long term use of over-the-counter (OTC) painkillers like Advil, Motrin and Aleve had the surprising result of a reduction in the occurrence of oral cancer by nearly 50%. However the danger dying from coronary disease among ibuprofen (and similar types of pain killer) users went up virtually threefold.

In addition, the press has rather a lot to report recently about Bextra, Vioxx and Celebrex (pharmaceuticals) which have left many folks in serious health situations with horrendous complications. The Food and Drug Administration in the US publicly warns against the use of all pain abating drugs over the long term.

Our research has found that taking drugs may not be the only way to relive aches and pains. Folks might also get some notable relief by seeking an alternative natural cure that not only treats soreness and discomfort, but also will defend your heart against damage simultaneously.

Using infrared sauna for fibromyalgia relief is becoming a more and more recognized effective treatment. Research has demonstrated that treating the discomfort of fibromyalgia with deep heat is better than pain alleviation medicines. Infrared saunas emit heat that penetrates below the surface of the skin and can positively affect the whole body.

Furthermore, the detoxification bonus of using an infrared sauna for fibromyalgia relief, will help the body return to its natural state of well being.

Moreover, when you use an infrared sauna for fibromyalgia relief , you can also relieve the fatigue and depression symptoms that from time to time accompany the physical pain of this malady. When one gets going with infrared sauna sessions, the quantity and quality of one's rest tend to improve. Also, infrared heat may reduce depression by stimulating the pituitary.

Regular infrared sauna sessions can significantly reduce fibromyalgia discomfort without pharmaceuticals. When combined with the other health improvements related to infrared sauna, trying out infrared sauna is a sensible plan of action. . - 29964
