Treating Bipolar Disorder with Omega-3 Fatty Acids

Omega-3 fatty acids, otherwise known as fish oil, have been shown to stabilize the mood of people suffering from bipolar disorder. Yes, that’s right, fish oil.

Researchers at Harvard University back in 1999 made a very amazing discovery. During a research study involving omega-3s and people with bipolar disorder it was discovered that those taking fatty acid supplements made such striking progress in regards to mood stabilization that the experiment was stopped after 4 months so that the control patients, those taking placebos, could start taking fish oil. All of the people in the study suffered from bipolar disorder.

The study was initially setup with 35 test subjects. During the test they continued to take their normal bipolar medication. Among the 15 that took the fatty acids 11 of them improved after 4 months and 2 of those suffered eventual relapses. The control group of 20 was given olive oil and of those only 6 of the 20 showed any improvement and 11 experienced a relapse. The patients taking the omega-3 fatty acids had longer periods of remission and when their symptoms did reappear they were less severe.

In fact some of the patients were able to stop taking their prescription medications and remain symptom free on the supplements alone. While there were some side affects such as nausea, belching, fishy taste and loose stools, these were minor compared to the side affects of more powerful bipolar drugs and easily controlled.

Because of the relative short amount of time since this study was done the long term benefits or detriments of using fish oil to treat bipolar disorder are not known. What is interesting about this study is it shows that dietary therapy can be as effective for a major illness as prescription drugs.

So how do omega-3 fatty acids help with bipolar disorder? No one really knows. Fish oil is made up of omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3s tend to concentrate in the eyes and brain, where they are present in cell membranes. It may be that eating fish oil increases the concentration of omega-3s in neuronal membranes, and thereby slows nerve signaling, which in turn may stabilize mood.

There is some evidence that omega-6 fatty acids such as found in vegetable oils, margarine, and mayonnaise may negate the beneficial effects of omega-3s. Accordingly, patients taking fish oil for their bipolar disorder should probably decrease their intake of omega-6s.

Although fish oil has shown great promise in the treatment of bipolar disorder it is important that anyone suffering from this disease not treat themselves and use omega-3s under the care of their doctor or therapist.

Discover Autism – A Wide Range Of Therapy Programs

Sadly, a definitive cure for autism, a disabling neurological disorder, has yet to be found. Affected children can grow up suffering from speech impairment, difficulties in social interaction, abnormal learning and an inability to enjoy many of life’s experiences which we all take for granted. It has been shown that early diagnosis and intervention can help to minimize the problem and therapies can give the unfortunate patient a certain measure of independence and show him or her how to cope.

Numerous options are available within a wide variety of therapy programs. Treatment is very much dependent on an individual’s needs and most professionals agree that it is best started no later than the age of two. Sometimes a combination of treatments and programs will yield the best results, but it should be known that the condition generally requires treatment for the life of the patient and the caregiver should maintain flexibility of approach.

Generally speaking, treatments and therapy programs can be broken down into four distinct areas – behavioral, supplemental, dietary and medical. Some of these represent established programs, whilst others are experimental and it is important to remember that there are a lot of avenues to explore as the chase for the definitive cure goes on.

Behavioral therapies deal with modification techniques, to assist the patient to gain job skills and to enable them to function in their environment. For example, Applied Behavior Analysis, or ABA, entails the teaching of skill oriented activities. Patients are rewarded as they learn fun skills and their behavior skills develop. This is a highly structured program, with intensive one-on-one interaction between a child and a therapist. This form of treatment is generally suggested to be the most effective, but many critics think that the approach is somewhat “robotic” and does not encourage the child to be spontaneous in adapting to the real world.

As opposed to applied behavior analysis, pivotal response therapy is considered to be more natural, taking place in a more relaxed environment, and supporters of this method believe that this approach can trigger a ripple effect to other behaviors, achieving a better all round result.

When it comes to supplemental therapies, many people with autism respond favorably to sensory stimulation. Patients are encouraged to hold objects with various textures or listen to music, for example. The Tomatis method entails the playing of a loop of music to a child for several hours a day with the goal of improving attention and concentration.

Language programs are of the utmost importance. Sometimes a program is introduced enabling patients to interact through the use of visual stimulants, such as pictures, enabling the child to communicate wants and needs through image exchange.

When it comes to dietary therapies, some professionals advocate that children with autism should be placed on special diets, basically casein or gluten free. Studies have shown that a high percentage of children with the affliction suffer from chronic gastrointestinal issues. Gluten, found in wheat products, and casein, found in milk products, are the culprits. Whilst this form of treatment calls for significant dietary control, many other experts caution against its’ effectiveness.

Medical treatments for autism include the use of vaccines and some more, particularly controversial therapies, including chelation, which involves the injection of a form of acid into the blood to remove or improve metabolic functioning. Others advocate the use of antidepressant drugs such as Prozac to treat certain behavior problems associated with autism, such as obsessive-compulsive disorder or to help in controlling tantrums.

Autism is diagnosed in approximately one out of every 150 children. It is generally accepted that early diagnosis and intervention is crucial to enable the child to gain social skills, behavior skills and experience a release from isolation.

Interstitial Cystitis: A Cause of Chronic Pelvic Pain

If you think your ongoing pelvic pain is due to a chronic bladder infection – you might want to think again. Don’t let these symptoms go untreated and undiagnosed.

Interstitial Cystitis is one of the least understood and miss diagnosed causes of chronic pelvic pain. This mysterious condition which consists of sever inflammation of the bladder walls often takes up to four years to identify from the onset of symptoms because diagnosis main consists of ruling out other possible causes such as STIs, bladder cancer and bladder infection.

Symptoms include chronic pelvic pain defined as pain below the belly button which lasts for six months or more. Chronic pelvic pain can be caused by many things which is why IC is often one of the last conditions ruled out. Pain during intercourse can also be caused by IC. Urinary symptoms, which often lead to confusion for doctors and patients include discomfort, frequency (up to 60 times a day in sever cases) and urinary urgency. Because these symptoms can be caused by bladder infection or bladder cancer, Interstitial Cystitis can go undiagnosed until these concerns are ruled out.

If you are presenting with chronic pelvic pain and your doctor is beginning to suspect CI there are a number of diagnostic test they may recommend.

• Bladder biopsy – where a small sample of the bladder tissue is take for lab exams.
• Cystoscopy (endoscopy of bladder) – where a tiny camera is inserted into the bladder to visually examine the bladder walls.
• Urine analysis – a chemical analysis to make sure that signs of infection are diagnosed and treated.
• Urine culture – which is where a sample of urine is placed in a medium and bacteria are allowed to grow to show signs of bacterial infections needing treatment.
• Urine cytology – where a sample of urine is examined under a microscope to identify if abnormal cells are present.
• Video urodynamics (shows how much urine must be in the bladder before you feel the need to urinate)
Unfortunately there is no cure of Interstitial Cystitis – but there are treatments which can lesson your discomfort and improve your life.
Elmiron is the only medication taken by mouth that is specifically approved for treating IC. This medicine coats the bladder like Pepto-Bismol coats the stomach.
Other medicines which are sometimes prescribed to help with symptoms of IC are:
• Opioid painkillers for severe pain
• Tricyclic antidepressants such as Elavil (amitriptyline) to relieve pain and urinary frequency
• Vistaril (hydroxyzine pamoate), an antihistamine that causes sedation, helps reduce urinary frequency
Sometimes medication can be used in combination with dietary changes which reduce inflammation and irritation to the bladder – reducing symptoms and greatly improving your quality of life.
Dietary modifications include avoiding the following:
• Aged cheeses
• Alcohol
• Artificial sweeteners
• Chocolate
• Citrus juices
• Coffee
• Cranberry juice (Note: Although cranberry juice is often recommended for urinary tract infections, it can make IC symptoms worse.)
• Fava and lima beans
• Meats that are cured, processed, smoked, canned, aged, or that contain nitrites
• Most fruits except blueberries, honeydew melon, and pears
• Nuts except almonds, cashews, and pine nuts
• Onions
• Rye bread
• Seasonings that contain MSG
• Sour cream
• Sourdough bread
• Soy
• Tea
• Tofu
• Tomatoes
• Yogurt
Experts suggest that you do not stop eating all of these foods at one time. Instead, try eliminating one at a time to see if that helps relieve your symptoms.
Other more invasive treatments include :
• Bladder hydrodistention (expanding the bladder by over filling it with fluid while under general anesthesia)
• Bladder training (using relaxation techniques to train the bladder to go only at specific times)
• Instilled medications – medicines are placed directly into the bladder. Medicines that are given this way include dimethyl sulfoxide (DMS), heparin, Clorpactin, lidocaine, doxorubicin, or bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) vaccine.
• Physical therapy and biofeedback (may help relieve pelvic floor muscle spasms)
• Surgery, ranging from cystoscopic manipulation to bladder removal (cystectomy)
Often treatment is a combination medications, behavior modification and possibly surgery. However, it is worth the effort to find a way to reduce your symptoms and elevate your pain.

A Better Solution For Dealing With Panic Attacks

If you’ve been suffering from panic and anxiety for any length of time you’ve probably scoured the net searching for effective ways to cope. More than likely, you’ve read about coping techniques, various types of panic medication and alternative supplements like St. John’s Wort, Kava or Passion Flower. I’ve discovered a much better way to deal with my panic attacks, that doesn’t involve outdated coping techniques or pills of any kind.

You see, nine years ago, when I was 16, I had my first panic attack and from that day on my life really changed. For the worse. I ended up being medicated just so I could feel like I was able to function properly again. I missed half a year of school, stopped going out with friends, and lost a lot of my remaining teenage years trapped in my house by my fear.

The problem with panic medication is that most come with a rather generous list of nasty side-effects and can be quite expensive. As well, they act mostly as a band-aid; covering the problem, but not really solving it. Other solutions, such as coping techniques, tend not to work for most people. Especially if your anxiety has to do with your breathing. Breathing techniques tell you to focus on your breathing, and for a lot of people being aware of their breathing is what causes panic attacks in the first place!

Therapy is great and can really help you to solve your mental anguishes but again, sessions are very expensive, and they often take much more than just one to alleviate your panic.

So what’s the alternative? I recently discovered an inexpensive resource on-line that really helped me to fight the panic naturally. This program uses a technique that takes a different approach to panic attacks than any other method I’ve tried. It’s explained best by thinking of anxiety as a circle. Panic attacks lead to fear of panic attacks which leads to more panic attacks. The “One Move” focuses on helping you break the cycle by removing the fear of actually having a panic attack. It’s an amazing concept that really helped me to overcome my panic.

Alzheimers Medications: Administration Suggestions, Adverse Effects, Purposes

An illness called Alzheimer’s disease is something that occurs in some people 60 years old and beyond. This disease is a type of dementia, which is when brain function is lost. This disease usually gets worse over time. Memory, thinking, and behavior, are the areas that are affected by it. On a positive note, Alzheimers medications exist on the market. These medicines have the potential to fix and eliminate many of the symptoms of this disease. People who are giving this medicine need to be aware of the side effects so that patients are safe.

People who are taking or giving this medication need to be careful. Many people who take this medication are very ill. As a result, they usually take other prescription drugs. When patients are taking different types of medicines, things can become very confusing and difficult. To ensure the safety of an individual, instructions and agendas must be followed when administering these types of prescription drugs.

Caregivers are required to give the proper dosage of the medication to a patient. Giving the dosage at the proper time is also important. When the patient is taking multiple medicines at once, it can be harmful for a person if too many are mixed together.

Medicines for this illness, just like any other medicine, may have side effects. Vomiting, nausea, loss of appetite, weakness of muscle, and or weight loss may occur in patients who are taking prescription drugs for this disease.

Even though the side effects of different prescription drugs can sometimes be a diverse, medicines are very beneficial for people with this illness. One important thing to keep in mind is that different medicines will work on different people.

Caregivers also must know which medicines a client is taking. They also need to research and understand the side effects and the purposes of each medicine. When health care aides are educated about the condition of an ill person, they will be able to provide better care.

Another great thing that a caregiver can do is to communicate with the client’s doctors. Sometimes, patients have more than one doctor. Unfortunately, the doctors do not always communicate with each other. This can be a problem, especially if there’s multiple medications involved.

It’s important for the aid to know about the medications. Getting in touch with doctors is a great way for a caregiver to educate himself or herself about the disease and the medications. Fortunately, the client will receive the best possible care from an aide who is aware of the medicines and schedules. In conjunction with a knowledgeable caregiver, Alzheimers medications can be a great option for sufferers of this disease.

Dieting & Sugar Cravings

If you read labels, you’re probably not surprised that sugar is added to nearly everything. Most of the foods you consider most healthy probably have added sugar. We have been trained from childhood to add sugar to all our food. For most people starting the Atkins diet, they have severe sugar cravings in the first few weeks of the Atkins diet, even though the think they never eat sweets. Many of these people are lying to themselves, but some are suffering sugar withdrawals because so many normal foods contain quite a bit of sugar.

Your blood sugar is closely linked to your energy levels and your overall health. When your blood sugar drops, you will feel severe cravings. High blood sugar is by an over-consumption of sugary snacks and meals. Eating concentrated sugar causes your blood sugar levels to spike sharply. Because of this, the pancreas tries to fix the problem by secreting insulin to lower the blood sugar. When this happens repeatedly, pre-diabetic conditions develop in the body as the pancreas becomes wears out and eventually cannot produce enough insulin.

If you want to put a stop to this vicious cycle, the Atkins died will do just that. Don’t expect the sugar cravings to go away easily. Sugar has a strong pull and won’t go away without a fight.

The best way to minimize these sugar cravings is through proper planning. You can reduce your sugar cravings by ingesting small, but regular meals several times a day, usually 5 works best for most people. You don’t want to go too long between meals. The trick is to keep your blood sugar levels stable. You can most easily do this by keeping healthy snacks handy so those cravings never develop to overwhelm you. By snacks, I mean hard boiled eggs, cheese, or even a few nuts.

Sometimes these cravings are a sign of a nutritional deficiency. If you are lacking magnesium, you may crave chocolate. Getting the necessary amounts of the trace minerals, zinc and chromium can also prevent sugar cravings. While on any diet it’s a good idea to take a daily vitamin and mineral supplement. This will go a long way in helping you fight off these cravings.

Eating protein regularly and taking a multivitamin daily will go a long way toward eliminating these cravings. For some, brushing the teeth or using Listerine helps with cravings. Also, a couple large glasses of water will do wonders to help eliminate cravings.

Sometimes the best thing you can do is just remove any tempting snacks from the home until you can get over the cravings. Alternatively, there are low-carb versions of many of your favorite snacks. You won’t feel quite so deprived if you have low carb versions of some of your favorite snacks. But I cannot stress enough, that those cravings will diminish if you feed your body regularly with satisfying real food containing quality protein.

Dieting is hard, especially if you’re trying to break a sugar addiction. These methods will help you succeed if you will only give them a chance.

Specialists create the plan for treatment given that they have elected intensive homework and identified what extremely will cause it. Up against the frame of mind of many, ADHD does not have any relationship on overindulging food additives, sugar, even allergies or immunizations. The treatment will more than likely match two differing people, and it’ll match the custom strategy to each person.

The therapy should have a long-term strategy and checking. In addition to this, the information about the disease should be accompanied. Family interaction from parents, educators or mentor, medical professionals and as well as the kid is also essential in the treatment method. The long run plan’s substantial because this is a disorder that will follow the little one into adulthood. The environment of the school plays a very important function in the treatment; the school should have the proper tools for the children who have got ADHD. Understanding the emotions and condition of the children who have ADHD might be a excellent and natural adhd cure.

Foods that help relieve anxiety

Foods that help relieve anxiety
With Adrian Whitworth

Foods that help relieve anxiety work in a certain way that give our bodies a boost. These foods are known as Super Foods and they have a high ratio of nutrition per calorie when compared to foods that are not so good for us, such as fried foods. Generally, when people get anxious they reach for high calorie snacks which tend to be fried fast food. The body finds it very difficult to break down and digest. They are also low in nutritional content.

Kick the fried food
Foods that help relieve anxiety can be used to replace fried foods. Once we do this we will feel an improvement and our bodies will also begin to run more smoothly. What i would like to do now is give you some examples of some Super foods and what benefits they have for us.

Super Foods
 Chocolate! Don’t get too excited. Raw chocolate is rich in magnesium which is what approximately half of adults are lacking in. A lack of magnesium is what causes mood swings and sluggishness. To get true benefits of chocolate we need the highest cocoa percentages possible and chocolate that has been processed very little. Dark chocolate contains anandamide,. It also raises serotonin, endorphins and dopamine.

 Peaches. These are one of the best super foods for us. They contain phytonutrients which help fight cancer and give you healthier skin. Peaches contain a natural sedative which can help reduce anxiety.

 Blueberries. These are a great super food that can find their way into our breakfasts, pies and even muffins. These can help improve our moods and there are even studies going on today that are looking how blueberries can help Alzheimer’s disease. Blueberries can help restore brain function. As blueberries are so easy to add to other foods, they make a great accompaniment to cereals and yoghurt.

 Almonds. If you want to find a super food that is not sweet then almonds are for you. As almonds are rich in vitamin B12 they will help enhance your mood. If you are struggling to get iron into your diet and you are feeling tired as a result. Then almonds that are good for iron levels will help give you that all important energy boost.

 Omega 3 rich fish. Fish contains protein which keeps us focused and alert. Smaller fish is a better choice than bigger fish. This is because magnesium levels rise in bigger fish. Omega 3 fatty acids are excellent for brain chemistry and have great benefits such as reducing depression.

 Leafy green vegetables such as broccoli, grean beans, peppers and spinach. Colourful vegetables help fight diseases and strengthen our immune system. Brocolli, cabbage and cauliflower help balance hormones .

Have you noticed that when we get anxious or worried we tend to reach for something sweet?

Sugar triggers insulin and this, in turn, releases serotonin which is a feel good hormone. We can get rid of too many sweets and get our serotonin shot from a walk in the sunshine.

Foods that help relieve anxiety can have great benefits to us over time. The use of Super foods like the ones discussed can replace the fast food snacks and give us natural boosters and natural well being.
