FEATURED RESEARCH

What your child eats IS important!

What parents have long suspected has now been proven. Some ordinary, seemingly healthy foods can have adverse effects on your child. A recent study removed wheat, eggs, tomatoes and dairy products from the diets of 100 children ages four to eight with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). There were significant improvements in their ADHD symptoms. This research is presented in the article, "Testing Diet and ADHD Link"in the February, 2011, issue of Natural Standard's Integrative Medicine Newsletter. Interested parents may want to share this research with their physicians

FEATURED ISSUE

Is chronic Lyme disease real or medical myth?

Are you aware of the dramatically opposing camps in the medical field regarding whether there is a real condition called chronic Lyme disease or if it is "all in your head." On one hand, the International Lyme And Associated Diseases Society reports that "a preponderance of evidence indicates that active ongoing spirochetal infection with or without other tick-borne co-infections is the cause of the persistent symptoms in Chronic Lyme Disease." On the other hand, the Infectious Disease Society of America insists that there is "no convincing biologic evidence for the existence of symptomatic chronic B. burgdorferi infection [the pathologic agent in Lyme disease]..." This latter view is accepted by the Centers for Disease Control.

Those experiencing the painful and debilitation symptoms of Lyme disease will tell you the symptoms are real. They will also tell how difficult it is to find medical professionals who can figure out what is wrong and how to help them.

The following articles have been selected to help you get better informed about chronic Lyme disease:
