Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), also known as chronic fatigue immune dysfunction syndrome (CFIDS), is a disabling condition affecting approximately 500,000 Americans. Research conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) indicates that fewer than 20% of CFS patients in the United States have even been diagnosed. Patients are usually women in their 40s and 50s, but anyone can develop CFS. Patients with CFS typically have a compromised immune system, elevated blood antibodies, intermittent sore throats, and tender lymph nodes. CFS can affect any part of the body, including the central nervous system, the brain, the blood, muscles, joints, the gastrointestinal tract, and the immune, digestive, and lymph systems.
Health Tip: Warning Signs That You May Have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Here are possible symptoms
Chronic fatigue syndrome is characterized by extreme tiredness and a feeling of being worn out all the time, even after waking up. Its cause isn't understood.
Up to 40 million Americans suffer from autoimmune disease [Stephen Edelson MD and Deborah Mitchell, What your Doctor May Not Tell You About Autoimmune Disorders]. Of that number, about 75% are women, making it the fourth largest cause of disability in women. Autoimmune disease is one of the top 10 leading causes of death in female children and women in all age groups up to 64 years of age.
Researchers have identified 80-100 different autoimmune diseases and suspect at least 40 additional diseases of having an autoimmune basis. These diseases are chronic and can be life-threatening.
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) estimates up to 9 million Americans have cancer and 22 million have heart disease.In the U.S. alone...
Toxins
We are exposed to 6 million pounds of mercury and the 2.5 billion pounds other toxic chemicals each year.
Teresa Forcades i Vila is a Benedictine nun at Sant Benet of Montserrat’s monastery, near Barcelona, Spain. Before joining the monastery Teresa practiced medicine for several years as a physician specialized in internal medicine and she has a PhD in Public Health from Barcelona's University. She also carried out her specialization at NY State University, USA.
In these series of videos, Teresa discusses the swine flu's origins and how WHO's definition of pandemia was morphed to fit this swine flu as a pandemic. She also discusses the vaccination program, its details and risks, using facts from mainstream science and also including political and economical aspects.
There are some cases when a person who is not able to speak will still be able to sing as the result of a specific aphasia.
Aphasia is an impairment or loss of the faculty of understanding or using spoken or written language, even though there is integrity of the neuromuscular structures that produce language. Aphasia is caused by brain damage, and is produced by left brain hemisphere damage in right-handed people.
Almost 90% of the population is right handed and of this percentage, more than 99% have a strong left hemisphere dominance for the linguistic functions. This is the reason why in right handed people, only left hemisphere brain damage will cause aphasia. Left-handed people will have a different hemispheric brain pattern, so their linguistic functions will be represented in both brain hemispheres. As a result, damage in any hemisphere will produce aphasia which will be less severe than those with the same damage in right-handed people.
Paul Weindling is an expert on medicine in Nazi Germany and is author of Health, Race and German Politics, Epidemics and Genocide in Eastern Europe, and Nazi Medicine and the Nuremberg Trials.
According to Weindling, there were four main phases in the atrocities performed during Nazi Germany. The first phase (1939-41) is called the neurological which was linked to the euthanasia program, but it was actually a testing ground for killing techniques. He estimates that more than 70,000 adult patients were killed in mental institutions.
The second phase (1939-1944) was a large scale experiment on sterilization and human reproduction were 400,000 people with inherited disorders were presumably sterilized without their consent under the Nazi regime.
The third phase was of military experimentation, which included studies of people's reactions to high altitudes, freezing temperatures, exposure to incendiary bombs, mustard gas, poisons, and other highly disturbing practices. Prisoners were also exposed to infections of typhus, malaria, and epidemic jaundice in order to develop vaccines and other treatments.
The fourth phase was experiments on children, such as studies on the inheritance of racial characteristics.
Weindling also writes about the Nuremberg medical trial which took place after the international military trial, where the concept of medical war crime was first introduced.
Here we go again with the flu threat, this time a swine flu with the potential for a global pandemic - or so we're told. I'm kind of tired of the same old "be afraid, be very afraid" tone in regards to the whole flu threat. There are really other threats with greater implications for our well being! But still, the subject is certainly worth our attention, as there is still a good possibility of depopulation. I will not be surprised if the swine flu makes a revengeful come back this winter. This is also a great opportunity to get healthy, remind ourselves how pharmaceutical companies make their profits and how governments restrict our liberties. If anything, what makes us susceptible to the swine flu, is the toxicity within and without.
Swine flu is a contagious respiratory disease, caused by a type A influenza virus, H1N1. Symptoms include fever which is usually high, chest infection is common and pneumonia is a common complication, occasional sore throat and runny nose, coughing, severe headache, general pains and aches that can be severe, vomiting and diarrhea, tiredness which is severe, and lack of appetite.
From December 2005 to February 2009, the US had 12 cases of human infection with swine influenza. The outbreak in Mexico might have started as early as March 18, when authorities began detecting a surge in influenza-like illnesses in the country. It was thought that it was seasonal influenza, but on April 21, the US Centers for Disease and Control and Prevention reported two isolated cases of a novel swine influenza in California. On April 24, Mexico announced that the same virus had been detected in the country's outbreak of influenza-like illness.
Even though the World Health Organization stated clearly that it was not possible to contain the spread of the swine flu, we saw at the beginning of the month some nations imposing travel bans, or making plans to quarantine air travelers. Nations were supposed to take mitigating measures, not travel restrictions, but the paranoia level is so high that any excuse is a good one to scare us with unnecessary restrictions.
Our bodies are simply not made to process the high quantities of the types of sugar that we consume nowadays.
Sugar is in no way nutritional and it actually depletes the body of its vitamin and mineral resources. High sugar consumption is tied to mental disorders, lower IQ, anxiety, aggressive behavior, hyperactivity, depression, eating disorders, fatigue, learning difficulties, and premenstrual syndrome among others.
One of the most important factors in brain aging and inflammation is sugar. Insulin triggered by sugar triggers oxidative stress which leads to mitochondrial damage, which in turn contributes to insulin resistance. Insulin also triggers the inflammatory cascade, including cytokines like TNF alfa and interleukins which spreads the damage into the brain and body in general.
Sugar produces high levels of insulin which is the main cause of our chronic disease epidemic and an important factor in mood disorders and dementia. Our insulin response is designed to handle vastly lower levels of sugar than what we consume today. For example, the body can process fruit sugar, but not high fructose corn syrup, which is a potent form of sugar that is sweeter than regular sugar, increases appetite, promotes obesity more than regular sugar, is more addictive than cocaine, and leads to diabetes and an inflammation of the brain.
Looking for something to watch during my far infrared sauna session, I stumbled upon The Glass Menagerie, based on Tennessee Williams's play. I suddenly remembered that this play was referenced in Barbara Hort's book, Unholy Hungers, in the context of the feminine vampire archetype. Although the label "vampire" may sound too drastic, it is actually very appropriate because the book is basically about psychic feeding dynamics. After watching the movie, I felt compelled to review what was said in the book about the female vampire archetype. The book is probably one of the best psychology books I've ever came across with, so I'll include the relevant quote here related to the movie as food for thought:
The vampire in Williams's autobiographical work is Amanda Wingfield, a fading Southern belle whose husband has left her alone to raise their two children-the discontented dreamer, Tom, and Laura, his crippled, reclusive sister. Although Amanda devotes most of her energy to feeding on the resistant Tom, she achieves her greatest vampiric success with Laura. Bled to the point of transparency by her mother, Laura drifts through each day by playing with her glass menagerie, the little crystal animals that are as fragile and as translucent as Laura become in the grip of Amanda's vampiric "love."
Amanda clearly operates under her vampiric veil of vulnerability when she confronts Laura with her truancy from the secretarial school in which Amanda has forcibly enrolled her: [Amanda leans against the shut door and stares at Laura with a martyred look.]
Multiple factors like lack of sleep, electromagnetic fields, aluminum (found in anti-acids, water, foil wrap, deodorants, cookware) interact with our genes to produce diseases like Alzheimer's. In addition, inflammation is always present in most diseases and Alzheimer's is not an exception. Inflammatory-promoting factors include trans fats, saturated fat, stress, infections, lack of exercise, autoimmune diseases, vitamin deficiencies, celiac disease, colitis, sugar, and diabetes, all of which increase the risk of dementia and neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's.
Scientists had linked sugar and its ability to create insulin resistance, prediabetes, and diabetes to Alzheimer’s disease. This news item highlights exactly this:
New research confirms that diabetics have an increased risk of developing Alzheimer's disease. Researchers from the Karolinska Institute in Sweden and the Stockholm Gerontology Research Center reported that people with diabetes are 70 percent more likely to develop Alzheimer's compared to those with normal blood sugar levels.
Type II diabetes is characterized by insulin resistance, a condition where chronic high blood sugar levels have caused an overproduction of insulin. Along with many other side effects, high insulin levels produce inflammation in the body. This inflammation can cause damage in the brain.
Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), also known as chronic fatigue immune dysfunction syndrome (CFIDS), is a disabling condition affecting approximately 500,000 Americans. Research conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) indicates that fewer than 20% of CFS patients in the United States have even been diagnosed. Patients are usually women in their 40s and 50s, but anyone can develop CFS. Patients with CFS typically have a compromised immune system, elevated blood antibodies, intermittent sore throats, and tender lymph nodes. CFS can affect any part of the body, including the central nervous system, the brain, the blood, muscles, joints, the gastrointestinal tract, and the immune, digestive, and lymph systems.
