I can't shake off Embarrassing Illnesses
2008-05-06 17:38:00 I mentioned on Friday that last week was the most popular in the blog's history for an 'embarrassing' reason. Here's why.Back in January one of our regular contributors emailed us about an advert she had spotted on her work intranet regarding an upcoming Channel 4 TV show called 'Embarrassing Illnesses'. I then wrote about this on the blog – and as well as mocking the central premise of the show, I also pointed out that the intranet advert at one point spelt the word 'embarrassing' with one 'r'. As I wrote at the time, everyone makes spelling mistakes, but come on – the word 'embarrassing' was in the name of the show...So far, so ordinary. But on Monday last week, Channel 4 aired the first episode in the series (now going by the title 'Embarrassing Bodies') and the blog started receiving hundreds of hits from people Googling 'embarassing illnesses channel 4'. Note the single 'r'.How ironic – by blogging about misspellings I attract people to the blog who can...

2007-09-24 03:43:00 Are you dealing with frustration, anger or disbelief about delays in diagnosis or lack of belief of the role of food in illness or health?Daily I hear stories of frustration, anger, or disbelief about the lack of understanding or appreciation of the role of food and the gut in health. In the Celiac community and literature delays of diagnosis of Celiac disease in adults are known to average between eleven and thirteen years. Many children have diagnoses delayed for years and some are missed completely until after adolescence when additional growth is not possible or in early adulthood when inability to get pregnant or multiple miscarriages have already occurred. The epidemic of chronic illnesses linked to food and the gut remain unrecognized.Many other people suffer from chronic fatigue, gas and bloating, joint aches, mental fogginess or onset of irreversible autoimmune diseases.

The "Rodney Dangerfield" of illnesses; chronic fatigue syndrome is now wide
2007-07-19 00:47:00 It was like the "Rodney Dangerfield" of illnesses. It got no respect at all. But finally chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is recognized by the both the medical community and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as a serious illness. CFS is also widely associated with depression.“People with C.F.S. are as sick and as functionally impaired as someone with AIDS, with breast cancer, with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease,” said Dr. William Reeves, the lead expert on the illness at the C.D.C., who helped expose the centers’ misuse of chronic fatigue financing.The New York Times reported yesterday that studies have shown that people with the syndrome experience abnormalities in the central and autonomic nervous systems, the immune system, cognitive functions, the stress response pathways and other major biological functions. Researchers believe the illness will ultimately prove to have multiple causes, including genetic predisposition,...

Warm Weather Dinings Mean Foodborne Illnesses
2007-07-13 11:07:00 Foodborne IllnessesNassau County Department of Health reminds residents that in the hot weather, food is more susceptible to spoilage.Temperature and time, as well as personal hygiene, are critical factors that can lead to foodborne diseases.The following are some recommendations to help prevent foodborne diseases: * When storing or transporting food, kept the food's temperature below 40 F. or above 140 F. * When preparing poultry, pork or beef, make certain it is cooked until the juices run clear.

Common Childhood Illnesses…
2007-06-08 06:29:00 Children are very susceptible to illnesses, in part because their immune systems are not fully mature. Breastfeeding of course provides some immunity to common illnesses, but nowadays most children are weaned by the time they are 1 year old. Children also have a habit of exploring the world around them with their mouths and their hands. Anything that comes into contact with their mouth and hands can potentially cause an illness. The good news is that the more your child is exposed the stronger their immune systems will become, and their ability to fight off infection in the future. Some of the most common childhood illnesses and symptoms to be on the look out are listed below: Colds/Cough – Cold and coughs are usually caused by viral infections, thus must be spread by person to person contact, not through the weather alone. Common symptoms of a cold include a stuffy nose, cough, possible sore throat and occasionally a temperature. Colds can become more severe and result in bro...
