Life with Hashimoto's - Hashimotos Healing. The herpes virus is an unstoppable biological machine Like most health conditions, Hashimoto’s has no single cause. It is the result of the perfect storm of factors that include a genetic predisposition, exposure to some pathogen (often a herpes virus), the breakdown of the gut and barrier systems (without or without the help of gluten), exposure to gluten, environmental toxins like radiation, mercury and other toxic chemicals and often, some particularly stressful event. In this post we explore one of those causes, the herpes virus.
As many of you know, I have Hashimoto’s and have made it my life’s work to understand everything I can about the causes, treatment and management of this disease. My Own Experience with Herpes I also have herpes simplex 1 (along with 90% of the population). While this is not a life threatening disease it can be the cause of shame and embarrassment, especially when I get a more serious outbreak on my face or lips. Herpes Viruses Are Everywhere Herpes Simplex 1 & 2. Psychiatric drug—not antibiotic—messes with gut microbes, spurs obesity.
A drug that helps your mind may turn your gut microbes—and waistline—against you. In the study, researchers led by microbiologist John Kirby of the University of Iowa gave mice water laced with the psychiatric drug risperidone. This drug is well-known to cause significant weight-gain, insulin resistance, and metabolic problems in people. Kirby and colleagues had a hunch that the hefty side-effects were linked to changes in the gut microbiome, but they were unsure of the exact mechanism. In the study, the risperidone-drinking mice also gained weight—an average of 10 percent of their normal body mass in just two months. By measuring energy intake, oxygen consumptions, carbon dioxide release, and heat production, the team found that the drug-dosed mice were burning fewer calories while resting and sleeping compared to normal mice. After some calculations, the researchers found that the lower calorie-burning rate matched up with the weight gain they saw in the mice.
The Massive Fitness Trend That's Not Actually Healthy at All. The world can be a crazy place, we all know that. And giving in to the fear that is endlessly manufactured by the media is a constant temptation on the path to fitness greatness. It’s also true that sometimes sh! T gets real, and we need to be prepared to adapt instantly. Why? Because… Life Is a Battle! But (and it's a big fat booty butt) just because life is a battle doesn’t mean you have to destroy yourself every time you go to the gym. There is a massive trend in the fitness industry to glorify exercise as an all-out war on the body. This trend is a symptom of a much larger disease. Exhaustion Is Not a Status Symbol Well, exhaustion actually is a status symbol in our culture. Being chronically exhausted is not the key to success.
We never say things like "I bet I can experience kidney failure before you! " How Does the Militarization of Fitness Affect Your Workout? In every way possible. Do you believe any of the following are true? No pain, no gain. So What’s the Other Option? I Wonder… BPA alternative disrupts normal brain-cell growth, is tied to hyperactivity, study says. Companies used BPS as a safe alternative to BPA. (David McNew/Getty Images) In a groundbreaking study, researchers have shown why a chemical once thought to be a safe alternative to bisphenol-A, which was abandoned by manufacturers of baby bottles and sippy cups after a public outcry, might itself be more harmful than BPA. University of Calgary scientists say they think their research is the first to show that bisphenol-S, an ingredient in many products bearing “BPA-free” labels, causes abnormal growth surges of neurons in an animal embryo. The same surges were also found with BPA, though not at the same levels as with BPS, prompting the scientists to suggest that all structurally similar compounds now in use or considered for use by plastic manufacturers are unsafe.
“A lot of the alternative chemicals have not been adequately tested because they don’t have to be,” said lead author Deborah Kurrasch. “We know there’s a fourfold increase in autism between boys and girls,” Kurrasch said.

Maybe you don’t have a torn rotator cuff, but an auto-immune disease or chronic GI symptoms, and now you have to look outside the system for knowledge, face-time, and care. On the functional med side, there are many docs that completely separate themselves from any financial questions.

Lena Dunham, creator and star of the television series Girls, yesterday announced she was taking a break from promoting the new season for health reasons.
Dunham has been suffering from endometriosis, a disease affecting one out of ten women of menstruating age, since her first period. After her Facebook announcement, several news outlets published some basic facts about the common yet misunderstood illness. While most got it right, CNN made the incorrect claim that hysterectomy is the “only absolute cure” for the condition – a claim that has since been removed from the site. Yet CNN retained several incorrect statements, including that endometriosis is a condition mostly affecting women in their 30s and 40s. CNN’s mistakes are unfortunate but not surprising. What is endometriosis? The ‘disease of theories’ The Sickest Girl. The surgery was scheduled for November 17, and I came to think of it as salvation, the beginning of the rest of my life. But I was also nagged by the fear that he would look inside me and find nothing, only smooth, watermelon-pink skin and incontrovertible evidence that I was absolutely fucking bonkers.
Jenni came with me to my surgery. She held my hand as they administered the Valium and then something a little stronger, and she took an iPhone video of me as I babbled incoherently about "a picnic for dogs where the dress code is burlap. " As they wheeled me away, I looked up at her and asked, "What if they find nothing? " I woke up what felt like four seconds later. Jenni was there, and so was my boyfriend. Lena Dunham "It was a real mess in there!

The Water Next Time: Professor Who Helped Expose Crisis in Flint Says Public Science Is Broken.
When Marc Edwards opens his mouth, dangerous things come out. Danny Miller, AP Images Marc Edwards, a professor of civil engineering at Virginia Tech, has been investigating dangerously high lead levels in the Flint, Mich., water supply. "The agencies paid to protect these people weren’t solving the problem," he says. "They were the problem. What faculty person out there is going to take on" the government? In 2003 the Virginia Tech civil-engineering professor said that there was lead in the Washington, D.C., water supply, and that the city had been poisoning its residents. He was right. Last fall he said there was lead in the water in Flint, Mich., despite the reassurances of state and local authorities that the water was safe.
Working with residents of Flint, Mr. But being right in these cases has not made Mr. The infrastructural problems go beyond the public utilities of certain American cities, he says.

Amish are known for their strict way of life without modern technology and medicine. They live in harmony with nature and are treated exclusively with natural remedies. One of their traditional preparations is a wonderful black salve (Black Drawing Salve) used for many inflammatory conditions, and it is known that it is very effective with infections, cysts and ulcers. Many people outside the Amish circuits used for these problems, but also for ingrown nails and hair, and cystic acne. It has a strong power to remove impurities, manure and unwanted objects such as thorns and splinters of glass. Although the black balm is easy to rinse and it does not leave stains on the skin. It is also effective with spider bites because it brings out the toxins, and apparently removes blemishes and dark spots. It is safe for use in children as it is completely natural.

Natural treatment for ankylosing spondylitis and inflammatory arthritis | Asphyxia. When I was diagnosed with Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS), and told by doctors it is an auto-immune disease, a form of inflammatory arthritis, for which the cause is unknown, and treatment consists of ‘heavy drugs’, I was devastated. Google searches didn’t yield up more information, and it took me a long time to uncover effective, natural ways of treating the disease. In the process, I also discovered that the causes are in fact known to some researchers. This article covers the best of what I know about AS and how to manage it.
After my first post on my old blog about AS, one of my readers, John, left a comment telling me that drinking apple cider vinegar removed all his symptoms of AS. This has been life-changing for me. Vinegar is the best treatment I have found, and after a year on vinegar, I still feel great. It seems vinegar was suggested by Margaret Hills, back in the 1950s, in her book about inflammatory arthritis. Instructions for how to take apple cider vinegar: I could eat: PYP 139: Robert Whitaker on Institutional Psychiatric Corruption - Plant Yourself.
Robert Whitaker has written some of the most dystopian, disturbing, and fascinating stories of evil unleashed that I’ve ever read. Unfortunately for us, he’s not a fiction writer. Instead, he reports on the psychiatric industry. In his 2010 book, Anatomy of an Epidemic, which won the Investigative Reporters and Editors’ 2010 book award, Whitaker showed how the story told by the American Psychiatric Association – that mental illnesses were caused by known chemical imbalances in the brain, and modern wonder drugs were safe and effective – was a deadly lie. Listen to this episode (0:49:19) Subscribe to Wellness Weekly from Plant Yourself Get notified of new episodes, plus lots of extras Instead, we find an epidemic of mental illness erupting just as the drugs that are supposed to treat these conditions become widely prescribed. His latest book, Psychiatry Under the Influence, co-written with Lisa Cosgrove, puts the psychiatric greed and fraud in a framework of institutional corruption.

Written by Joanne Beccarelli For almost everyone, our feet constantly bear the weight of active lifestyles, but get little attention in return for holding us up, moving us around and grounding us to the earth. That is now beginning to change since getting a foot massage is one of the new spa treatment trends for relaxation and indulgence. While self-care is one great reason for a foot massage, in many cultures, foot reflexology is a regular health regimen that is used for the whole body that you should start using too. Let’s take a quick look back at the roots of reflexology. Massaging the feet to affect health has roots in ancient China and Egypt and was thought to spread during the Roman Empire.
Reflexology can make a difference for your health. Here are some of the most common benefits of foot massage and reflexology: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. The science of gut health could change modern medicine. Illustration, Casie Wilson. Chances are you don’t routinely think about the forces roiling in your gut. But all too often, there’s a complicated turf war being waged in there — think of it as an intestinal Game of Thrones. You might have strange, hard-to-diagnose symptoms of feeling subpar, like bloating, cramps or a persistent brain fog. Or maybe you get every cold that comes around, have chronic sinus infections or suffer from an autoimmune disorder. Power-hungry microbes are likely to blame. The typical North American gut is home to some 100 trillion representatives of anywhere from 300 to 1,200 different species of bacteria — all vying for real estate.

Although scientists have been studying the microbiota for years, DNA sequencing technology has rapidly accelerated their research. The other key factor is how often we take antibiotics. Glossary. Are Criminal Medical Interventions Damaging Everyone? By Catherine J. Frompovich I find it hard to imagine that a system this corrupt can be a good thing, or that it is worth the vast amount of money spent on it.Marcia Angell [1] Former editor, New England Journal of MedicineI have spent most of my professional life evaluating the quality of clinical research, and I believe it is especially poor in psychiatry.
The industry-sponsored studies usually cited to support psychoactive drugs—and they are the ones that are selectively published—tend to be short-term, designed to favor the drug, and show benefits so small that they are unlikely to outweigh the long-term harms.Marcia Angell [2]It used to be that drug companies simply gave grants to academic medical centres for the use of their clinical researchers to do a study and that was it.

The Common Woman Website | Womanhood, Ownership and Autoimmunity – The-CommonWoman. Mask: Sick Woman Theory. In late 2014, I was sick with a chronic condition that, about every 12 to 18 months, gets bad enough to render me, for about five months each time, unable to walk, drive, do my job, sometimes speak or understand language, take a bath without assistance, and leave the bed.
This particular flare coincided with the Black Lives Matter protests, which I would have attended unremittingly, had I been able to. I live one block away from MacArthur Park in Los Angeles, a predominantly Latino neighborhood and one colloquially understood to be the place where many immigrants begin their American lives. The park, then, is not surprisingly one of the most active places of protest in the city. I listened to the sounds of the marches as they drifted up to my window. Attached to the bed, I rose up my sick woman fist, in solidarity. I thought of all the other invisible bodies, with their fists up, tucked away and out of sight. There are two failures here, though.
