What is Osteopathy?
Osteopathy is initially only bone conditions, but other than a bony prefix nothing with the always brought with it in the context of osteoporosis together. Osteopathy is a manual medicine concept consisting of a holistic diagnosis and treatment structure. This means that people judged as a complete living being, with its three components body, mind and soul and is treated not its symptoms. This is the first and most important principle of osteopathic all other superior is. Osteopathy stating that life is the same movement: Movement of joints and muscles, liquids and gases within the body, such as blood, lymph, urine, intestinal contents, bile, cell fluid and breathing and digestive gases. Basically osteopathy manual techniques that are intended to move and tension of the treated tissue to restore operated. The idea is that you the flow of blood, lymph,...

Herpes virus and parvovirus B19 in patients with a chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Human herpesvirus-6 (HHV-6), Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and the Parvovirus B19 have been proposed as etiological agent of chronic fatigue syndrome, but none of these viruses has been consistently demonstrated in all patients. However, active viral infection can be localized in specific tissues, and are therefore difficult to detect. The aim of this study was to investigate the presence of HHV-6, HHV-7, EBV and parvovirus B19 in the gastrointestinal tract of CFS patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS: With real-time PCR, viral THEN loads in gastrointestinal biopsies from 48 CFS patients were quantified with 35 control subjects. RESULTS: A large proportion of herpes virus-7 DNA was detected in most CFS and control biopsies. Epstein-Barr virus and herpesvirus 6 were detected in 15-30% of all biopsies. Parvovirus B19 DNA of patients compared to less than 15% in the control group was observed in...

Gluten can cause brain problems
An interesting paper, published in September 2008 in the “Annals of Neurology”, described a “new science” of an enzyme that causes your brain problems caused by the reactivity to gluten, and also independent of other celiac symptoms. Most doctors know that the open Gluten-reactivity with celiac disease and the classic constellation of symptoms and signs of characterization is the malabsorption syndrome, easy to recognize and is classified as a manifestation of “celiac disease”. Malabsorption symptoms are steatorrhea, weight loss or failure to thrive, bloating and flatulence, with still other deficiencies. More often, however, difficult to detect the others are diverse ways in which the celiac hides. Celiac disease can mimic many common clinical manifestations. These atypical forms include: Deficits of individual micronutrients Non specific gastrointestinal complaints such as bloating, abdominal pain, diarrhea, constipation, secondary lactose intolerance and dyspepsia (indigestion)...

Artificial food additives
Countless food additives such as preservatives, artificial sweeteners, flavors and colors are administered our food and make it thus, at best, useless and dangerous in the long term for our health. A natural, real food is, paradoxically, to procure increasingly rare and difficult in the era of food industry. She is one of the main principles of sustainable health. Nevertheless grasp sometimes processed foods? Then reading the label of great value to your health. Below we present some of the food additives that you may encounter while and before that you should keep your body as far as possible. Experiments have shown that sweet taste, regardless of the calorie content, promotes appetite and looking like consumption of sweet foods triggers , which logically leads to weight gain. The artificial sweetener aspartame is the strongest effect attributed. Other strong artificial...

Effect of physical activity on the brain
Research has shown that exercise promotes neurogenesis, a process in the brain, which can be adapted and grow faster the brain cells, and this regardless of age! Responsible for this positive effect a so-called specific protein. Brain-derived neurotrophic factor, which is released during the movement, protects the brain cells against damage and give the possibility of a new neuron growth. How are physical activity and mental health interact together? Physical activity triggers the body of biochemical changes that affect not only the body but also the brain and this especially in the regions that are associated with memory and learning. Above all, it is about the hippocampus, which is particularly susceptible to the growth of new neurons. This is the conclusion researchers have come by means of observation that movement stimulates the production of a protein called FNDC5. The...
