Since a lot of us come here, I am writing to explain the "theme" change.

Babylon is no longer supported by the latest versions, and causes bugs, one of which was that EMail addresses were being shown, even though they were disabled.

So bugs fixed, but I'll have to go in and fix up the graphics mods that I once had.

Thanks, Daveman! :)

Happy solstice to everyone!

Whatever is your country, religion, culture, everyone on this planet live this solstice at the same time, be it the winter solstice in the North hemisphere, or the summer solstice in the South Hemisphere, because we all go around the sun at the same pace, on the same Earth :-). 

So, beyond any cultural belief or view, happiness to you all, in those times where there are festivities all around the world !

"Vagus Nerve" in the news



http://www.webmd.com/brain/news/20160412/vagus-nerve-stimulation-treatment

I saw another splashy Vagus Nerve headline article in the paper edition of WebMD in my doctor's office today. (I hope science fares better with POIS than it did for the common cold I came in for!) There's a nasty virus going around, long-LONG lasting (weeks/months) so stay well!

I wish you to recover soon, Demo.  Drink a lot of source water, take vitamin C if no contraindication for you, lots of veggies and fruits, and rest.   Wash your airways with saline physiologic solution ( Hydrasense, Salinex, SInus Rinse, or the like)  4 to 5 times a day.

Here is an great article by Mark Hyman, MD, who has a Functional Medicine approach:  http://drhyman.com/blog/2010/07/30/how-to-stop-attacking-yourself-9-steps-to-heal-autoimmune-disease/

If you want the short version, here is the end of the article :

"Nine Steps to Treating An Autoimmune Disease:

1. Check for hidden infections β€” yeast, viruses, bacteria, Lyme, etc. β€” with the help of a doctor, and treat them.
2. Check for hidden food allergens with IgG food testing or just try the UltraSImple Diet which is designed to eliminate most food allergens  ( see at http://drhyman.com/downloads/UltraSimpleCompanion.pdf   ).
3. Get tested for celiac disease, which is a blood test that any doctor can do.
4. Get checked for heavy metal toxicity. Mercury and other metals can cause autoimmunity.
5. Fix your gut. For details, see my blog on irritable bowel syndrome.
6. Use nutrients such as fish oil, vitamin C, vitamin D, and probiotics to help calm your immune response naturally.
7. Exercise regularly β€” it’s a natural anti-inflammatory.
8. Practice deep relaxation like yoga, deep breathing, biofeedback, or massage, because stress worsens the immune response.
9. Have an understanding of Functional Medicine, that addresses the underlying cause of disease.  "

--

The only thing I have changed is that I have added the link for the PDF document - you do not need to buy the book, just by reading this PDF you will know what this diet is about.  In short, it is all evidence for a turn toward an healthy diet:  eliminating refined sugar and white flour, replacing caffeine by green tea, getting rid of junk food, unhealthy additive, ....

This is a good checklist for any POIS sufferer to go through.  That's a very good starting poit, at least. 

Many of these subjects have already been discussed on the forum.


The rest of the article is informative and well written, too, and in lay terms.

Any comments ?

Thanks, Quantum, the press seems to be having a field  day with Vagus Nerve coverage.

From the above article, I wonder - if Dr K's tVNS POIS treatment proves to work well - if we will need FDA approval for POIS sufferers to use a tVNS device? Right now mostly epilepsy and depression sufferers have been approved for usage.

I think as long as it is approved for something else doctors can prescribe it for pois. Insurance covering it is a different question.

Delete this [spammy POIS "remedy"] thread. It's just driving traffic to the scam site.
Excellent! Deleted entire thread.

Thank you, Neutral!
