I heard there are certain vitamins that help.

A good mulitvitamin that is well absorbed by the body and a good antioxidant supplement area good start. Add a good grape seed extract product too and try eating less proccessed foods and eliminate those with lots of red dye in them./

No sugar! instead give them sugar free snacks, low sugar fruits, and keep them busy/active. no naps-tire them out and then they knock out on their own. Take them to the park and have them run around all day long-until they tire.

If you are intrested i have an ebook called three steps to conquering add/adhd. it was very helpful when i started looking into the alternative treatment for my son and myself. the two products we are using that are really working are INTRAMAX (liquid vitamin has over 400 vitamins) and neu be calm'd. these two have been working great together. you are welcome to email me if you need any advice or support. good luck to you.

None. Sugar is irrelevant – it was proven long ago not to cause ADHD (it could cause some temporary hyperactive symptoms, but that's not ADHD!) the jury is still out on omega-3 (fish and flaxseed oil). no vitamins will help. try exercise, yoga, meditation, time management and organization techniques, behavior modification, or medication.

My sons counselor would have him stare at one particular spot to see how long he could do it without looking away. he passed the test. the counselor said this was a new way to train children to focus and help with ADD. Periodically have your child stare as long as they can at one spot. no meds!

to decrease it ,cofee and choclate
i took a course in it

Excluding food additives or Feingold's diet is a strategy that may help. Brain wave training can also help if you accept that as being natural.

Cut down the grains and fruit in your diet and remove all sugar.

Also, if you have heavy metals in your system you need to seek information on detoxifying.

Finally, make sure that you curve in your neck (spinal column) is normal. if you have a reverse curve in your neck it will lead to problems like this and more if not corrected. a reverse curve is like scoliosis, its a incorrect curve that lead to serious health conditions.

There are three main types of hepatitis that have similar symptoms, identified as hepatitis a, hepatitis B and hepatitis C. Even though each one of them is caused by a virus, and present some of the same characteristics, the three are different from each other. Care must be taken with those who suspect they may be at risk to see a doctor for blood tests and if necessary, treatment options that need to be discussed.

Hepatitis a can be quite serious, but is preventable by use of an available vaccine. It can typically last for six months or less, so it is an acute condition, as opposed to a chronic condition. It is transmitted by ingesting fecal matter, by eating contaminated vegetables and fruits, and can also be transmitted by sexual transmission. This type of hepatitis, however, is not chronic, so it does not generally cause long-term damage to a person’s liver. Some of the hepatitis symptoms of infection include fever, jaundice, dark urine, joint pain, abdominal pain, loss of appetite and others.

Hepatitis B is a bit more complicated, and there are four main ways that it can be transmitted: sexual contact, transmission from infected mother to child during pregnancy, sharing household items, and contact with blood and blood products. This type can be a very serious condition that can be prevented by vaccination; unfortunately, the vaccine will not help unless it is administered within 24 hours of the initial exposure to the virus. There are 1.4 million people in the United States infected with this type. Symptoms are the same as they are for hepatitis a, and hepatitis B can be either acute or chronic. Only a definitive blood test would be conclusive regarding which type a person has contracted.

About 4 million people are infected with the C strain of the virus in this country, and this strain is also the most common cause for liver transplants to take place. Hepatitis C can range from presenting itself as a mild illness to a long and constant battle with liver disease. This liver disease can be fatal, and liver cancer can also occur. one of the worst characteristics about this strain is that it can lie dormant for decades, while it quietly inhibits liver function and causes liver disease, also known as cirrhosis. It can also promote liver cancer while liver damage is occurring, and may possibly be irreversible. Sadly, there is no cure, and no vaccination is currently available for this strain of hepatitis. Hepatitis symptoms are the same as the other two strains, but hepatitis C is chronic and is much more difficult to combat.

Berries may offer sweet hope in reducing the risk of Parkinson’sdisease, Harvard researchers are reporting.

The Harvard School of Public Health examined the effect onParkinson’s disease of flavonoids, a dietary component found incitrus fruits, chocolate and berries. The study was released lastSunday, and will be presented at the American Academy ofNeurology’s 63rd Annual Meeting in Honolulu in April.

The exact reason people develop Parkinson’s is not clear, thoughsome genetic and environmental factors are thought to beresponsible.

“The study opens up a whole area of potential future studiesexamining other types of environmental effects on Parkinson’s,”said Dr. Anna Hohler, a neurologist and professor of neurology atBoston University who was not involved with the study.

The study found that the top 20 percent of males who consumedthe most flavonoids were 40 percent less likely to developParkinson’s than the bottom 20 percent of men who consumed theleast amount of flavonoids. In women, there was no correlationbetween overall flavonoid consumption and Parkinson’s.

However, a subclass of flavonoid called anthocyanins, which areprimarily found in berries, were associated with reduced risk ofdeveloping Parkinson’s, said study author Dr. Xiang Gao, researchscientist at Harvard.

“These components we found to have neuroprotective effects,” hesaid. “Anthocyanins are a kind of pigment in food. for example, ina blackberry or a strawberry, when you see the different colors inthese berries, that’s because of anthocyanin.”

The study examined 129,617 individuals – 49,281 men and 80,336women. Participants were followed for 20 to 22 years, and wereasked to periodically fill out questionnaires about their foodconsumption habits. During that period, 805 participants developedParkinson’s. when the study started, the average age of maleparticipants was about 55, and the average age of femaleparticipants was about 51, Gao said.

Parkinson’s is a neurodegenerative disorder that affectsmovement. Most people with the disease start to get symptoms intheir sixties, though some people get it much earlier, Hohlersaid.

An estimated 60,000 Americans are diagnosed with Parkinson’sdisease each year, and as many as one million Americans live withParkinson’s, according to the Parkinson’s Disease Foundation in NewYork.

The study did not track the consumption of all types of berries,but looked specifically at strawberries and blueberries.

“We asked about a number of different dietary items – howfrequently they were eaten and the intake per month of each item,”Gao said. “That means we could only list the most consumedfoods.”

Participant’s questionnaires were then stored in a databasewhere researchers could later revisit answers and calculateaverages.

A strength of the study is the fact that people’s eating habitswere tracked before any of them had Parkinson’s, Gao said.

“Otherwise, if you do a kind of study called a case-controlstudy, in which you start with a group of people who already haveParkinson’s disease and ask them to recall their dietary intakefive years later, there may be some error,” he said. “This way wereduce this kind of memory bias.”

Gao said the link between flavonoid consumption on Parkinson’sand gender could not be confirmed until further studies takeplace.

“Our study is the first prospective study in humans,” he said.”So our observations need to be confirmed by other studies to seeif there is a difference. and if the other studies find some sortof gender, the next step is to do some more studies to understandthe mechanism.”

The study raises further questions about the consumption ofanthocyanin as well.

“Future research needs to find out in terms of quantity, howmuch do you need to consume to have a beneficial effect and in whatperiod of time,” Hohler said.

Although Gao agreed that more research must be done before anystrong conclusions are made, he said there is certainly no harm ineating more berries.

“Although it’s too early to recommend eating berries to reduceParkinson’s risk, think about the other beneficial effects ofberries,” he said. “If you only eat one cup of berries a month,maybe you can increase to another one.”

Hohler plans to discuss the study with Parkinson’s patients.

“When a study comes out like this, we say, ‘There is one studyso far which is interesting and may suggest that this might besomewhat neuroprotective,’ but that further studies need to be doneto clarify,” she said. “Parkinson’s patients are very eager to trythings that might decrease their chance of developing [thedisease].”

Weakness, fatigue, purplish rashish. just eat fruits and you will be cured. you need more vitamin C

Las Cruces— the words “preventable” and “cancer” aren’t always seen in the same sentence.

We get frequent reminders of the traditional prevention methods to help counteract cancer and many other illnesses: Eat a healthy diet including lots of fruits in vegetables, exercise and avoid smoking, get regular screenings. Those screenings are important for many types of cancer, but don’t catch abnormal cells until they have already become just that: Cancer.

From 1955 to 1992, cervical cancer was one of the most common causes of cancer death for American women, according to statistics by the American Cancer Society. but since then, death rates have declined by almost 70 percent, due to increased use of the Pap test, a screening that is unique because it can detect changes in the cervix before cancer develops, thus making it the first step in halting the possible progression of abnormal cells into cervical cancer.

“This is one of the few cancers that’s preventable, because the Pap test will help you find it before it’s cancer, as opposed to mammography, which won’t find one you can treat prior to malignancy,” said Gena love, head of the Cancer Prevention and Control Section for the New Mexico Department of Health. Preventing HPV

Love said though there has been a tremendous decrease in mortality in cervical cancer cases, it is still not being caught at 100 percent. in New Mexico, approximately 80 women are diagnosed with cervical cancer each year, and about 26 women die from the disease each year, she said. only 3 percent of those cases are the invasive kind of cancer, and the rest are localized, in situ (“in place”) cancers.

Risk factors for cervical cancer include exposure to secondhand smoke and exposure to the human papilloma virus (HPV), a large group of related viruses and the most common sexually transmitted infection that can develop into cervical cancer in women. because being exposed to HPV can happen very soon after one becomes sexually active (according to the American Cancer Society, almost half of HPV infections are found in people between the ages of 15 and 25, and one-half to three-fourths of sexually active people will have the virus at some point in their lives), the HPV vaccine is recommended for young girls before they ever get exposed to that virus, love said. HPV can live inside the body for up to several years without symptoms, she said, and the body can clear the virus on its own, so some people may never even know they were exposed to the virus and may clear it without harm. but for others, it can develop into cancer.

“The body, for the most part, is able to deal with that virus, but it can progress into invasive cervical cancer,” love said. “Why some people can clear that virus without problems and others don’t is hard to pin down.”

More than 99 percent of cervical cancers are caused by HPV, and 70 percent of those are caused by HPV types 16 and 18, which can be prevented by taking the vaccines Gardasil and Cervarix.

Love suggests following the Centers for Disease Control guidelines, which recommend that girls ages 11 to 12 get vaccinated. Women from ages 13 up to 26 can also be protected by taking it. Girls as young as age 9 are able to take it, she said.

“The vaccine seems to be very promising in preventing the acquisition of that virus in young girls,” she said.

However, the vaccines don’t protect against all of the strains that can become cancerous cells.

“One of the messages we want to get out there is it only protects for certain types of HPV,” love said. “Even if you are protected against the most common types, you are not protected against all of them, so you still need to get Pap tests.” How often should women get screened?

Love said it is difficult to say how often women should get Pap tests and at what age they should begin getting tested, because test frequency is based on age, the type of test and previous results. Generally it is recommended that women start at age 21 or within three years of the first time they have sex, and every other year after that for the first 60 months. no matter what the frequency is, it’s important that women keep getting regular Pap tests and converse with their doctor about how often to do it and when to stop, she said. Unless told by their doctor that it is OK to discontinue getting tested, women should continue up until age 65 or the cervix is removed, she said. though the test may not be the most comfortable experience or something women look forward to, she said, it’s one of the most effective and low-risk.

“It is one of the most reliable and effective cancer screening tests available,” love said. “We don’t want to suggest that screening is easy – no one really likes to have it – yet compared to others, it’s relatively painless, quick, inexpensive and sensitive. if you’ve got abnormal cells, it’s very likely to find them.”

And with regular screenings, cervical cancer can be caught early, which is beneficial because the cancer has few symptoms and can be difficult to detect without a Pap test. though it is preventable, if it goes too long before it’s detected, it can be harder to treat.

“It is a very slow-growing disease from the time abnormal cells might be seen on a Pap test to cervical cancer might be a decade or more,” love said. Treatment

For localized cancers that are caught early, treatment may just be limited to the cervix, and cells are removed off of the surface, love said. if the cancer is invasive, more extensive surgery might be required, and if the disease has metastasized to other areas of the body, regional treatments like radiation and chemotherapy will be needed. the sooner the cancer is caught, the more likely it will be easy to treat. if it’s local, the average woman has an 88 percent chance of curing the cancer and surviving. if it spreads regionally, that five-year survival rate drops down to 52 percent. if the cancer becomes distantly spread, the survival rate decreases further lower to 18 percent, she said.

Love stressed that the most important prevention method is getting regular Pap tests.

“There are more women dying of other types of cancer than the 26 (women who die of cervical cancer each year in New Mexico), yet the tragedy is that those deaths could have been prevented,” she said. “A lot of people die from cancer that couldn’t be prevented but this is one that we could have saved those lives. This is one cancer that women don’t have to die from.” Get screened

The Department of Health has breast and cervical cancer early detection programs, and offers both free Pap tests and breast screenings to women who meet specific criteria. To receive free testing, women must be 30 or older, uninsured or underinsured, and at or below the federal poverty line.

In the U.S.:

About 12, 200 new cases of invasive cervical cancer will be diagnosed, and about

4, 210 women will die from cervical cancer in 2010.

In New Mexico:

Approximately 80 women are diagnosed with invasive cervical cancer each year

Approximately 26 women die from the disease each year

Most cancers are localized, in situ, non-invasive tumors that have not penetrated other tissues. Three percent of all new cancer cases in the state are the invasive form of cervical cancer.

Almost two-thirds of the women diagnosed are under the age of 55, but mortality is more likely to occur in older women: two-thirds of the deaths from cervical cancer are of women age 55 and older. Freelance writer Sara Cobble can be reached at .

Help me.

i found The newest chick in my cockatiels nest at the other side of the nest this morning, away from the parents.

This chicks crop is also empty.

So i tried hand feeding it but it would not open its mouth.

The only thing i could think of that is wrong is that the baby possibly has that lockjaw thing from bordatella or whatever that virus is called.

However, the baby only shows the lockjaw symptom.

The baby can barely lift its head.

But it peeps.

Help?

feed him with this syringe put baby food in it and tap his beak. if you tap his beak he'll think its his mommy bird trying to feed him and probably open his mouth.. the baby food should be stage 1 and only fruits.. wash your hands ater touching him and keep him warm

i hope he does well..

i had a simaler problem so i fed it baby bird formula. just keep trying to get some food in it, at first you have to push lightly in to the beak, he will get the message. you should call the vet , they will help you with your problem

oh my God
thats scary kill it and then burn it.
maybe it has a contagiuos virus.
you die *** well.
save yourself when their is still time.
Run Run

Try this website, maybe they'll have answers to your question. Have you tried calling a vet or someone who specilizes in birds?

PLZ don't lisen to offensive monster!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!> she is out of her mind. who would
kill a baby bird and then burn it??????.. Plz take it to the vet.. good luck !

First aid for every disease is the primary stage prevention from such disease. it is very essential that you should consult the recognized physician of such disease. However, sometimes you can take precautionary measures by taking home remedies to prevent the symptoms of that disease. for every disease, there are home remedies available. The following listed precautionary measures are the part of home remedies for kidney stone.

As a part of home remedies for kidney stones, regular checking of the fluid intake gives us idea about the level of water in our body. Every person must adapt a habit of drinking too much water.

If you want to feel free of kidney stones, then always drink plenty of water according to your potential. Therefore, it really increases your fluid intake capacity. Averagely, you should drink six to eight ounce glasses of water every day. you should try to avoid too much decaffeinated tea and coffee, alcoholic beverages, cold drinks in large scale.

The next precautionary measure, which is included in the home remedy for kidney stone, is habit to eat lots of nutritious food like fruits and vegetables. Therefore, if you make a habit of eating fresh and clean fruits and greenish vegetables, it provides many vitamins, mineral and carbohydrates to your body. if there is any certainty that you are a suffering from kidney stone, then in that case these fruits and vegetables provide oxalates to your body. That is a supportive home remedy for your medial treatment.

A patient should eat fruits and vegetables which must be free from large amount of vitamin C. if you want to get rid from kidney stone, then the safest way is to always avoid food material having vitamin C. in medical terms, the suggested dietetic allowance of vitamin C for men is 90mg and for women it should be 75 mg per day. so vitamin C food material is also used as a precautionary option of home remedies for kidney stones.

If you are adapting a habit of eating less amount of meat and always give preference to eat fish then it will really prevent you from causing kidney stone. This is the best example of home remedies for kidney stone. The proteins that we get from animal meal give speed to the shaping of uric acid and calcium in the urine. This causes the formation of kidney stone in your urine. Uric acid takes shape when purines in protein foods are wrecked down. Therefore, if you are patient of uric-acid stones, it is better for you to cut back proteins

Regular exercise is one of the important home remedies for kidney stones. This regular exercise gives assistance to the passage of calcium out of the bloodstream and into the bones. The benefit from this is stronger bones and so there is very less risk of the stone formation.

Residents of Warren Towers have been hardest hit by a stomach flu virus that has been spreading across Boston University’s campus, Student Health Services officials said in a campus-wide email on Thursday.

in response, both students and staff in Warren have been taking measures to help prevent the number of cases from growing.

Warren Towers Facilities Management and Planning staff has increased cleaning efforts in the dorms as a preventive measure.

in addition, foods such as fruits and bread in the Warren Towers dining hall have been placed behind the salad counter to prevent students from touching them and spreading the infection. Open containers of spreads and yogurt have been replaced by individual ones.

Warren Towers freshmen interviewed on the subject said they have noticed the spread of illness among their peers.

“I know a lot of people here who have gotten sick, especially in C tower,” said College of Communication freshman Brendan Stack. “They just stayed in their room for a day, sometimes two, but after that they were fine. None of them sought out SHS.”

Some students said they are taking these preventative measures seriously.

“I try to wash my hands a lot and be extra careful with things like drinking from other people’s water bottles,” said School of Management freshman Alicia Leone. “I like what they did in the dining hall. It’s a little annoying to have to ask for fruit but I see why it’s necessary.”

College of Arts and Sciences freshman William Nash said his roommate was one of the people who went to SHS upon protracting the flu.

“His stomach hurt and he had a fever,” he said. “They gave him Ibuprofen and told him to rest up.”

COM freshman Joshua Wagner, however, said he was not too concerned.

“This time of the year everyone gets sick,” he said. “I don’t know anyone who has this kind of flu. The only things I noticed were the changes in the cafeteria. . .I think people are overreacting.”

in the email, David McBride, director of SHS, informed students of the epidemic and outlined possible preventive measures.

“It seems most likely that this does not represent a food-borne illness,” McBride wrote. “The clinical presentation is possibly consistent with Norovirus.”

The Norovirus is a gastrointestinal illness caused by viruses and/or bacteria that should be treated supportively, the email said.

Symptoms may include diarrhea, vomiting, stomach pains and nausea that will commonly disappear within 24 to 72 hours.

“Wash your hands frequently, particularly after using the bathroom and before eating or preparing food,” he recommended. “Avoid those who are ill, if possible.”

BU spokesman Colin Riley said there was no reported link between the flu and food-borne illnesses.

“Students contracted a stomach ailment, but we don’t know what caused it and the Board of Health doesn’t think it is food related,” Riley said.

instead of contacting SHS and seeking medical care, the email recommends students try to treat the disease themselves.

The email lists drugs such as Acetaminophen and Ibuprofen, fluids and rest as useful remedies.

in another SHS email sent on Friday, McBride encouraged students to get the flu shot if they haven’t already.
