I was watching a program last night on UK television called “Rescue Dog to Super Dog”. It was a show where abandoned dogs were being paired up with people who need help with their disabilities or health conditions. One of the recipients of a trained rescue dog had a condition called ‘narcolepsy’. I do not know anyone who has this problem but remember suffering with one of the symptoms in the past, known as ‘sleep paralysis’. Continue reading Narcolepsy cure?

What exactly is preeclampsia?
Carrying on from part 1 of pregnancy health info, I want to explain what preeclampsia is
and how to avoid it. Preeclampsia is also known as toxaemia and only affects pregnant women. Those who have suffered it before are more prone to the condition with subsequent pregnancies.
Preeclampsia occurs in 7% of all pregnancies around the world and is one of the major causes of maternal deaths. 10 million women worldwide contract preeclampsia (often referred to as pregnancy-induced hypertension) each year. The yearly maternal death rate from this illness is 76,000. Also there are approximately 500,000 infant deaths per year because of this condition. Continue reading Pregnancy Health Info – Part 2

Part 1 of 2
Are you pregnant? If so I want you to read this article on pregnancy health info., because it could actually save your life. That does sound a little dramatic in this day and age but there is a condition that is induced by pregnancy that can be a danger to both mother and child.
Going through a pregnancy should be a stirring, emotional and moving experience. For your body to cope with the extra burden and stress which it has to deal with, you need to be in the best of health. An expectant mum should be glowing, happy and excited about her forthcoming event. She is bringing new life into the world and that is a momentous occassion. If you do all the right things ie. eat healthily (no junk food), don’t smoke, don’t drink sodas, don’t drink alcohol, don’t take drugs, exercise gently but regularly, you should go through your pregnancy with no problems and produce a healthy child.

What is an SEM?
I asked my husband Andrew, to explain exactly what is an SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope) and how does it work. I thought it would be of interest to those of you out there who are a bit technical and curious. The SEM is a very much used tool, especially in the realms of research. Without it research work would be very limited and we would not be as far forward in knowledge as we are today.
So here’s a list of the main types of microscopes that are out there:
- LM (Light Microscope) which uses light.
- SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope) using electrons
- TEM (transmission electron microscope) using electrons.
- CFM (Confocal Microscope) which uses laser light.
- STM (Scanning Tunneling Microscope) using atomic forces.
- ATM (Atomic Force Microscope) also using atomic forces.

Questions and Answers.
In my last post, I posed some questions about why we are being misled and deceived about many issues of health but particularly the vital importance of keeping Magnesium (Mg) levels replete and at the same time, not overdosing on Calcium (Ca).
I will answer those questions below. Perhaps you will not agree with my answers but then you do have the opportunity of putting your thoughts in writing by commenting on this post! Or perhaps you have your own questions? We’d love to hear from you! Continue reading Calcium Side Effects
