Healthy Living Blog Narcolepsy Treatments May 25, 2006 - Linknet Health Brand Name Prescription Drugs - FDA approved Viagra, Cialis. by Sandra K. Adams Most commonly, Narcolepsy presents itself as an illness called EDS - Excessive Daytime Sleepiness. This is the persistent feeling being tired, lacking real energy and wanting to sleep. The sufferer has to make concerted efforts to remain awake, but even if he or she is able to do so, it is often only to achieve a semi-wakeful state that onlookers often describe as ‘trance like’ or as if the individual is 'on auto pilot.' At unfortunate moments, the feeling can be so strong that it appears to anyone looking on that the sufferer may be drunk. Dieting Can Be Unhealthy Apr 6, 2006 - Linknet Health - by askafriend - All to often, people associate a "diet" with a short term change in eating habits to lose weight. Rather, a diet is what you eat: plain and simple. Quite often people will abruptly change their diet in hopes of shedding a few pounds. This is only a short-term solution, and can be harmful to your long-term health. == Lap Band Surgery - Treat obesity with lap band surgery == The word "diet" used to refer to your everyday food and drink intake. The FDA has a guideline for what constitutes a “healthy diet†which includes fruits and vegetables, grains, lean meats and low-fat dairy products. But these days, a “diet†has taken on a whole different meaning. == Organic Snacks - All natural and organic snacks == Quite often, new books are written about recently “discovered†diets that will help you shed weight quickly and effortlessly.

Rise in Type II Diabetes Leading to Supplement Sales Increases May 30, 2006 - Linknet Health News Vitamin Supplements - Read about vitamins and herbs and their uses. "Type II diabetics are generally not reliant on insulin injections; in fact, the pancreas is secreting more insulin than necessary. Due to constantly high levels of insulin in the blood, the cell is no longer able to receive adequate glucose, the body’s primary fuel. This causes symptoms such as fatigue, hunger, thirst, increased frequency of urination and unintended weight loss. The body responds by stimulating the pancreas to secrete even more insulin, perpetuating a vicious cycle and exhausting the organ. If glucose is not carefully regulated, the body loses its ability to make insulin and must rely on insulin injections." This has led to an increase in demand for supplements that target blood sugar control. Among these are chromium, glucomannan, bitter melon and cinammon. Supplement sales, according to these writers, have increased by an average of 30% over the past year when the natural and conventional channels are considered.

Junk Food Bans in Schools - Practical Problems Apr 4, 2006 - Linknet Health News - by Rick Hendershot - A growing number of state and regional legislatures are passing laws that prohibit the sale of junk foods in school vending machines and cafeterias. == Health Snacks for Healthy Vending == The good intentions behind these regulations are not always easy to implement.

Read the rest of The Practical Side of Junk Food Bans in Schools Man with 10 Year Erection Wins Law Suit Aug 6 - Linknet Health - Man with 10 Year Erection Wins Law Suit - Viagra, Cialis FDA Approved - no cheap imitations According to an AP story at MSNBC, a man who received a penile implant more than 10 years ago has been awarded a $400,000 judgement by the Rhode Island Supreme Court. The implant involved removing some tissue from the man's penis and replacing it with a plastic and wire device that was supposed to simulate an erection. But the man claimed it malfunctioned and would not allow his penis to move to the non-erect position. The result was a 10 year old erection which just wouldn't go away, and all kinds of discomfort and embarrassment. The man, now 68, could not have it removed because of a weak heart and because tissue in his penis had been removed to make way for the implant. The implant was done two years before Viagra hit the market. Since then, the company, Dacomed, has gone into bankruptcy. Help for Sugar Cravings May 17, 2006 - Linknet House and Home Natural Snacks - All natural and organic snacks - all natural jerky, real fruit snacks, peanut free products and more. by Jonni Good Many people have asked me what foods they should eat in order to cut down on the sugar cravings. And in the past I've always had to say "I don't know." Now, maybe I can actually offer something more hopeful. Kicking a sugar habit is no easy chore, especially since we're surrounded by the stuff. Almost every packaged food or convenience product is made from sugar, (or white flour, which is about the same thing). We struggle to overcome the initial reluctance to change, then we live through the two weeks of mild withdrawal symptoms, and then we have to worry about relapse when we let down our guard on a stressful day. Sometimes it just doesn't seem fair. Vitamin C - The Most Common Health Food Supplement June 13, 2006 - Linknet Health Lose weight while you sleep - Lose weight the natural way.

Drug Plan Insurers Give Inaccurate Information July 11, 2006 - Linknet Health News Nursing Career Resources - Nursing continuing education courses, online nursing degrees, job listings. A recent survey of Medicare drug plan insurers in the U.S. by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) showed that most people who call into these insurers get inaccurate information about prescription drugs covered by their plan. Information obtained was only accurate about 1/3 of the time. GAO investigators made 900 calls to 10 of the largest drug plan insurers. They found that overall accuracy and completeness of the answers obtained ranged from 20 percent to 60 percent. Only one out of the 10 largest insurer call centers provided proper, full answers more than 50 percent of the time. In the U.S. 43 million people are eligible for Medicare drug coverage. Their primary source of information are these call centers. Representatives of the drug program questioned the GAO testing methods calling them "inaccurate, incomplete and subjective." British Doctors Warn of Mobile Phone Lightning Risks June 26, 2006 - Linknet Health News Healthy Vending - All natural and organic snacks. British Doctors Warn of Mobile Phone Lightning Risks British doctors and health officials are warning against the outdoor use of the devices during storms. In a very rare incident a 15-year-old girl was struck by lightning while using her cell phone in a London park last year. Because she suffered cardiac arrest when struck the girl has no memory of the incident. She survived the strike, but is confined to a wheelchair, has lost some hearing in the ear she was holding the phone to, and suffers a variety of physical, cognitive and emotional problems. Three British doctors writing in the British Medical Journal warned of cell phone use during lightning storms. "This rare phenomenon is a public health issue, and education is necessary to highlight the risk of using mobile phones outdoors during stormy weather to prevent future fatal consequences from lightning-strike injuries related to mobile phones." But other experts dispute these conclusions, pointing to other variables that may have caused the incident. John Drengenberg manager of consumer affairs at Underwriters Laboratories Inc., said "I am not aware of any research on a cell phone being a particular attractor of lightning. There's nothing that would indicate they would attract lightning other than the fact that this girl with her cell phone and antenna would be something that would be the only thing that lightning would go to in that area." Those who warn of the dangers suggest that the proximity of the conductive materials in the phone would disrupt the "flashover" effect caused by the skin in normal lightning strikes. A person's skin is quite resistant to electrical conductivity and usually prevents serious damage to the interior of the body. But "flashover" is partially disrupted when the phone is held on the ear, presumably giving the current a path inside the body. And, according to this theory, the result is greater damage and more deaths. In spite of this convincing sounding theory, the group could find only three other instances where death or serious injury resulted from a lightning strike while using a cell phone. Experts generally warn against using any electrical appliance during a thunderstorm, including landline phones and household appliances. Vitamins and Their Role in Our Lives Mar 29, 2006 - Linknet Health - by Charlene J. Nuble - Vitamins, like minerals, are an essential part of the function and health of the body system.
