Everyone has yeast somewhere in their body---it’s a natural situation. It is present in the large intestine, and often as a thin white layer at the back of the tongue. A strong immune system and “friendly” bacteria inside our gut act to keep yeast levels in check. A malfunctioning immune system or overgrowth of "bad" bacteria can result in yeast overgrowth. What Causes MigrainesMigraine headaches have at one time or another affected over 15% of men and almost 30% of women. Over 20 million Americans suffer from either migraine or cluster headaches. For women, many migraine headaches are tied to their menstrual cycle. Migraine headaches usually affect women, while cluster headaches usually affect men. Strengthening the Immune SystemThe immune system is an amazing collection of cells, proteins, and organs in the body. It is responsible for protecting us against infection by outside organisms, as well as toxins and certain other substances. All parts of the immune system need to work together for optimal defense against outside invaders. When parts of the immune system are compromise or damaged, illness can and will result. Prostate Gland ProblemsProstate gland problems are a very common problem among men. An enlargement of the prostate gland is known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The majority of men over fifty years old have either been diagnosed with BPH or at least have significant prostate enlargement. Symptoms of an enlarged prostate can include: frequent and/or painful urination, weak urine stream, difficulty urinating, blood in urine, pain in the lower back, and chills. Sleeping Problems - InsomniaSleeping occupies about 1/3 of our entire lifetime, and so it is obviously important for that reason alone. Sleep also helps repair and renew our bodies when we are in a resting state. When proper sleep occurs, we awaken refreshed and ready to start the day. However, many people do not get a good night’s sleep, and then do not wake up with the energy and vitality they should have. When insomnia symptoms start affecting the rest of someone’s life, it’s time to think about treatment options. Premenstrual SyndromePremenstrual Syndrome (PMS) is a very common problem among women between the ages of twenty and fifty. The reasons for PMS are many, but the main physiological reason is that there are significant hormone level changes between the middle of a woman’s menstrual cycle and her period. Memory LossLoss of memory can be devastating, both to the person who has lost part of their memory, and also to their friends, relatives, and other acquaintances, like co-workers. There can be many underlying reasons for why someone loses their memory, including purely psychological reasons. However, memory loss often has a biochemical basis, and thus can be helped in a number of different ways. Headaches - Causes and TreatmentHeadaches are one of the most common complaints that people have. Over 40 million Americans have chronic headaches, and over 20 million Americans suffer from either migraine or cluster headaches, either occasionally or chronically. However, about 90% of all headaches are the common tension headache. There are at least 21 different subtypes of headaches. Bone Joint Pain and OsteoarthritisArthritis is the most common disability in America. There are actually over 100 different types of arthritis, depending on the cause of the illness and the location in the body. The most common types are osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and gout. Adrenal Fatigue / Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Symptoms and TreatmentsChronic fatigue syndrome, or CFS, was not even officially considered an illness until 1988. It is a complex illness that has a vague combination of symptoms and unknown cause. CFS symptoms can include: fatigue that returns for at least six months, fever, muscle and joint pain, sore throat, swollen lymph nodes, headaches, memory loss, and inability to concentrate.
