Natural Treatments for Fibromyalgia, Diabetes, Lupus, Cancer, Multiple Sclero...Douglas Holt
Real Fibromyalgia, Treatment & Emotions
A Pituitary Endocrinology Perspective. Effective natural therapies for Fibromyalgia
Hot flashes, memory loss, and a weird polyneuropathy, polymyalgia or polyarthropathy (i.e. adds up to fibromyalgia)?
What is fibromyalgia? The great magical mystery illness! Pituitary endocrinology research.
Fibromyalgia really is…• Simply pituitary damage. • Causing a lack of several key hormones.
Few pituitary endocrinologists out there. Out of 150 endocrinologists there will be 1 true Pituitary Endocrinologist.
Fibromyalgic syndromes: could growth hormone therapy be beneficial?
Diabetes, Lupus, Cancer, multiple sclerosis, gout, rheumatoid arthritis, arthritis, lymphoma, glucose, osteoarthritis, type 2 diabetes, fatigue, chronic fatigue syndrome, dizziness, autoimmune disease, adrenal fatigue, polymyalgia rheumatica, depression, why am I so tires
Actual Causes of Fibromyalgia?
The pituitary secretes hormones that are essential to growth and reproduction. Hormones and vasculature.
Problems that can cause stalk or pituitary damage:
• Whiplash or any MVA
• TBI – even mild (Australian Rules Football would qualify)
• Air Bag Deployment to face or head
• Any Mild to Moderate Blows To The Head – heading a soccer ball! Any concussion!
• Sexual abuse as a child
• Stroke
• Tumors – if you can’t find anything else!
• Sheehan’s Syndrome
• Snorting or huffing drugs (i.e. cocaine)
• Radiation exposure (i.e. MD/DO/DC/DDS)
• Prolonged High Stress (i.e. MD/DO/DC/DDS)
Pituitary Dysfunction = Fibromyalgia = Maybe Even Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
Fibromyalgia Really Occurs from a Lack of Healing Hormones
Occurrence of pituitary dysfunction following traumatic brain injury. “subjects with a history of TBI frequently develop pituitary dysfunction, especially GHD.” (GHD=Growth Hormone Deficiency)
Lack of Testosterone is a problem, too.
Sage (Salvia officinalis), fennel (Foeniculum vulgare), lavender (Lavandula angustifolia), myrtle (Myrtus communis), peppermint (Mentha piperita), and blue yarrow (Achillea millefolium), in a base of sesame seed oil.
Symptoms of Inadequate Progesterone Production?
• Hot Flashes
• Day and Night Sweats
• Migraine Headaches
• Severe PMS
• Endometriosis
• Demyelination Problems
• TMJ Problems (not usually the only cause)
• Libido Problems
For diagnoses related to hypothyroidism, typical problems include fatigue, weight gain, depression, lethargy, dry skin, cold intolerance, voice change, change in menses, muscle cramps, or treatment of a thyroid condition.
Here’s the emotional tie in
• Depression, lethargy, fatigue.
• Lack of HGH causes PTSD, depression, fatigue, confusion.
• Low testosterone causes decreased libido, fatigue, depression.
• Lack of progesterone causes depression, fatigue, PMS.

I have gained a lot of knowledge from this marvellous Nervous System course. Multiple Sclerosis, or MS, is one of the common neurological disorders. Since I have been working as a remedial massage therapist, most of my patients are unhealthy and stressed. The desire to understand the cause and mechanism of these symptoms has inspired me to study more about neuroscience. This course had changed my life forever.
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, sometimes disabling, disease of the central nervous system affecting approximately 400,000 people in the United States, according to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. It affects two to three times as many women as men
A wonderful and interesting presentation on Multiple Sclerosis! It includes videos, pictures and great insight into the possible cure for MS. I truly hope whoever downloads it enjoys it as much as I do. Blessings!
Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.

ABDOMINAL TRAUMA in pediatrics part one.drhasanrajab
Abdominal trauma in pediatrics refers to injuries or damage to the abdominal organs in children. It can occur due to various causes such as falls, motor vehicle accidents, sports-related injuries, and physical abuse. Children are more vulnerable to abdominal trauma due to their unique anatomical and physiological characteristics. Signs and symptoms include abdominal pain, tenderness, distension, vomiting, and signs of shock. Diagnosis involves physical examination, imaging studies, and laboratory tests. Management depends on the severity and may involve conservative treatment or surgical intervention. Prevention is crucial in reducing the incidence of abdominal trauma in children.

Tom Selleck Health: A Comprehensive Look at the Iconic Actor’s Wellness Journeygreendigital
Tom Selleck, an enduring figure in Hollywood. has captivated audiences for decades with his rugged charm, iconic moustache. and memorable roles in television and film. From his breakout role as Thomas Magnum in Magnum P.I. to his current portrayal of Frank Reagan in Blue Bloods. Selleck's career has spanned over 50 years. But beyond his professional achievements. fans have often been curious about Tom Selleck Health. especially as he has aged in the public eye.
Follow us on: Pinterest
Introduction
Many have been interested in Tom Selleck health. not only because of his enduring presence on screen but also because of the challenges. and lifestyle choices he has faced and made over the years. This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.
Fitness Regimen
Workout Routine
Tom Selleck health and fitness regimen has evolved. adapting to his changing roles and age. During his "Magnum, P.I." days. Selleck's workouts were intense and focused on building and maintaining muscle mass. His routine included weightlifting, cardiovascular exercises. and specific training for the stunts he performed on the show.
Selleck adjusted his fitness routine as he aged to suit his body's needs. Today, his workouts focus on maintaining flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular health. He incorporates low-impact exercises such as swimming, walking, and light weightlifting. This balanced approach helps him stay fit without putting undue strain on his joints and muscles.
Importance of Flexibility and Mobility
In recent years, Selleck has emphasized the importance of flexibility and mobility in his fitness regimen. Understanding the natural decline in muscle mass and joint flexibility with age. he includes stretching and yoga in his routine. These practices help prevent injuries, improve posture, and maintain mobilit
3. Genetics of MS
“The genes a person inherits help determine whether that person is
at increased risk for developing MS. MS does not follow the
traditional gene inheritance patterns of autosomal dominant and
recessive or sex linked. While there is evidence from studies that
this genetic component exists, it appears to be only one factor
among several that determine who gets MS. Most likely, an
individual’s genetic blueprint ultimately determines if that
individual will be susceptible to a triggering factor in the
environment, which in turn initiates the autoimmune process that
leads to the development of MS.”

we-know-about-ms/who-gets-ms/genetics/index.aspx
4. Physical Manifestation
BRAIN LESIONS

zm6056,00.html
STRIPING OF MYLIN SHEETH
Being that MS is a type of autoimmune
disease , the body attacks the Mylin Sheeth
(protective coating of the nerve) or its own
body.
health.howstuffworks
MS exacerbation is caused by inflammation in
the central nervous system. The inflammation
damages the myelin sheeth (white, fatty
substance that covers and protects a part of the
nerve cells) and delays or short circuits
transmission of nerve signals which causes the
symptoms of MS.
5. Symptoms
MS exacerbation or Relapse is a sudden worsening of 1 or more MS symptoms or the
appearance of new symptoms.
Depression can be a direct result of MS damage within the brain.
Motor System Symptoms:
Muscle weakness, Mild paralysis
Spasticity or stiffness
Slurred speech
Involuntary contraction
Sensory System Symptoms:
Tingling sensation, Partial numbness
Feeling excruciating pain without a cause
Feeling electric shocks in head or throughout the body
Affects the sense of touch
Cognitive issues ~ Which becomes delayed due to loss of the Myelin Sheeth in the
brain
Heat sensitivity
Coordination/balance issues:
Vertigo
Loss of coordination
Shaking while performing precision actions
6. Diagnosis
They must find evidence of damage in at least two separate areas of the central
nervous system (CNS), which includes the brain, spinal cord and optic nerves.
Referred to as White Matter or Lesions in the brain.
Doctor’s (Neurologist) look for these signs:
The physician also performs a variety of tests to evaluate mental, emotional
and language functions, movement and coordination, balance, vision, and the
other four senses.
MRI is the best imaging technology for detecting the presence of MS plaques
or scarring (also called lesions) or (multiple scars) in different parts of the
CNS.
Evoked potential (EP) tests are recordings of the nervous system's electrical
response to the stimulation of specific sensory pathways (e.g., visual,
auditory, general sensory).
Analysis of the cerebrospinal fluid, which is sampled by a spinal tap,
detects the levels of certain immune system proteins and the presence of
oligoclonal bands.
While there is no definitive blood test for MS, blood tests can rule out other
conditions that cause symptoms similar to those of MS, including Lyme
disease, a group of diseases known as collagen-vascular diseases, certain rare
hereditary disorders, and AIDS.
7. Frequency & History of MS
The number of cases of Multiple Sclerosis range between
2 to 150 in one thousand people
Onset/symptoms begin in young adults
MS occurs predominantly in women
Jean-Martin Charcot first described MS in 1868
How many people have MS?
Approximately 400,000 Americans have MS, and every week
about 200 people are diagnosed. World-wide, MS affects about
2.5 million people. Because the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) does not require U.S. physicians to report
new cases, and because symptoms can be completely invisible,
the numbers can only be estimated.
MS affects every ethnic group but is more common in
Caucasians of northern European ancestry.
8. Varieties of MS
There are (3) three types of MS:
(1)Relapsing-Remitting MS (RRMS) - The most common
disease course, a person experiences attacks (also called
relapses or exacerbations) of worsening neurologic
functioning followed by periods of remission in which partial
or complete recovery occurs. This type people say,
“ But you look so good”.
(2)Secondary Progressive MS (SPMS) – While technically a
form of progressive MS, this type acts more like a relapsing
form of MS in its early-to-mid stage with relapses and
remissions being quite common.
(3)Progressive MS (PRMS) – This type shows no relapses, but
over a period of years, there is gradual loss of physical
cognitive functions.
9. Treatment/Therapy
Can MS be cured?
Not yet. There are now FDA-approved medications that have been shown to "modify" or slow
down the underlying course of MS. In addition, many therapeutic and technological advances
are helping people manage symptoms. Advances in treating and understanding MS are made
every year, and progress in research to find a cure is very encouraging.
Types of Medications:
Immunomodulating Medications (injection therapy)
*Avonex - $3,526.59
- Once a week injection intramuscular (into the muscle)
*Betaseron -$4,129.69
- Every other day injection subcutaneous (under the skin)
*Copaxone -$4,345.29
- Every day injection subcutaneous (under the skin)
*Rebif -$3,180.19
- Three times a week injection subcutaneous (under the skin)
Tysabri
- Every four weeks by IV infusion
Immunosuppressant drug
Novantrone – Four times a year by IV infusion
* Monthly cost of medications without insurance per Walgreens
10. A Sample day with Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
for me, it is RRMS
Good morning, did you sleep well? Had a great night’s sleep.
I didn’t. Been thinking about you all I can do all things through Christ who strengthens
night. me (Phil. 4:13).
So what’s your plans for today? Going fast walking this morning.
Got a surprise for you…. Wow, struggling on my last round of my 2nd mile.
75 degree temperature @ 7:00 a.m., yikes, the
heat. Walking funny, man my head ...
Got to listen to my body, got to go home and rest.
Hey, I’m b-a-c-k. I thought you were gone?
Oh, who you talkin’ to? “Hey lady, I just c-c-came from the c-ca-ca store”.
Let’s cook. Ouch! I forgot to use the pot holder to take out the
hot food out of the oven again.
I’m your stunt double today. I didn’t know that there was an art to falling.
Hey, while your relaxing, let me thrill What the heck? Feels like I’m short circuiting all
you. How about some electrical shocks? through my body.
Remember me , Paralysis? Woke up this morning , where is my arm?
11. What I have learned thus far:
Though Neurologist are specialist, I have learned that there are
specialist in that field as well. My Neurologist is an MS Neurologist.
I strongly urge you to seek out one in your area.
I have learned not to get overwhelmed, but to get informed (my
advice to the newly diagnosed).
Get connected: Find a good support group in your area. Join the MS
Society’s blog where you can get encouragement, answers to your
questions, share a new way of eating, or inquiries on a drug, an
exercise program and of course the jokes, got to love the jokes. I
am sure there are other sites out there as well.
I have learned that MS has many faces. It does not discriminate.
And it comes around when you least expect it. I had no idea how
many people were affected with MS.
Something that I’d like to stress is that one should rule out any
ailment or sickness before assuming it is MS related.
I manage MS, it does not manage me.

~ UNDERSTAND ~ (A Poem)
If you don’t understand MS, could you just trust me?
If you don’t “get it", can you just love me?
If you can’t see what I’m going through, can you just believe me?
If you can’t understand my pain, can you just comfort me?
If you can’t find a way to fix it,
Can you find an ear to lend?
If you don’t know why this happened, Can you help my spirit mend?
I love you for trying,
Don’t ever forget.
The effort you’ve put forth,
Please don’t regret.
I have this disease And I have confusion.
Just don’t ever think MS is some illusion.
Can you love me anyway?
Can you be my friend? You may never understand it, But MS is a
part of me in the end.
