HUNTINGTONS – HOPE
This site is about educating and informing. Huntington’s disease is a progressive, degenerative disease that causes certain nerve cells in your brain to waste away. As a result, you may experience uncontrolled movements, emotional disturbances and mental deterioration. Huntington’s disease is an inherited disease. Signs and symptoms usually develop in middle age. Younger people with Huntington’s disease often have a more severe case, and their symptoms may progress more quickly. Rarely, children may develop this condition. Also called Huntington’s chorea, Huntington’s disease was documented in 1872 by American physician George Huntington. The name "chorea" comes from the Greek word for "dance" and refers to the incessant quick, jerky, involuntary movements that are characteristic of this condition. Medications are available to help manage the signs and symptoms of Huntington’s disease, but treatments can’t prevent the physical and mental decline associated with the condition. Continue reading

SUPER FOODS – EASY CHOICES
SuperFoods are far more than just “supplements” like vitamins and minerals. They are foods that provide health benefits far beyond their recognized nutritional value. They help us to embrace health instead of fighting disease. When you increase your SuperFoods consumption the inevitable result is a more nutrient dense, lower calorie, health promoting diet. And the best thing is that SuperFoods make creating health fun and pleasurable. Remember, Mother Nature is nutritionally complex so that we don’t have to be. Continue reading

STATIN DRUGS – KNOW THE DANGERS
If you use any drug with the word statin in it then you need to read this material and make up your own mind. The question should be “are they effective in reducing heart disease”?
In very simple terms the pharmaceutical companies produced statin type drugs to respond to the belief that you can reduce the incidence of heart attacks by reducing the level of cholesterol in the blood.
The basis for the belief and use of statins comes from the call to adopt low fat/low cholesterol diets of the late 1980s and 1990s.
Maybe, just maybe, its not a sound decision. Continue reading

Acid Reflux | GERD | Heart Burn
I suffered for 27 years with Acid reflux and for all that time suffered both chronic and acute pain. I was being sick, couldn’t sleep properly. I remember one time that even driving around a roundabout i had to stop because I felt so ill. Sometimes the acute pain feels like a heart attack and other times it feels like your stomach is in a vice.
Well it needn’t be like that. The solutions are relatively easy and simple.
About 7% of people experience this problem daily
a further 14% have heartburn once a week or more
and 20% percent will experience it once a year or less frequently Continue reading

SICKLE CELL – A PARENTS GUIDE
Get your complementary Parents Guide to Sickle Cell Sickle Cell was very poorly understood as recently as 1960. It existed we just didn’t understand it. Today we understand sickle cell (often referred to as sickle cell anaemia, sickle-cell or sicklecell) but as yet there is no cure. There is a hope of a cure based upon stem cells but so far Sickle Cell is essentially incurable. Pharmaceutical drugs don’t work well with Sickle Cell in the long term and our focus has been on management of the condition. So we work to help parents and adults help their children and themselves to live full and productive lives. Continue reading

ARTIFICIAL SWEETENERS – WHY USE THEM
The human body is a remarkable thing but strangely it can get addicted to things. All addictions are harmful in some way but we have become so sensitised to food being sweet that a huge number of people are effectively addicted to sucrose or glucose or artificial sweeteners – e.g.. sucralose, splenda, Nutrasweet. If we use sucrose or glucose we pile on the pounds and we crave sugar with everything. This addiction is at the root of the epidemics of obesity, diabetes, dental decay and so much more. By listening to chemical and food companies who substitute sugar with artificial sweeteners we are storing up equally serious problems.
Chocoholics that includes you too.
We need to try to get back to a diet that contains far less sucrose and avoid artificial sweeteners like the plague. Continue reading

Healthy Sugars – Are There Any
We’ve been told by countless people over countless years that Sugar is bad for us and we’ve believed it to be a true statement. Sugar is the common name for sucrose and there are few people who would disagree that too much sucrose or sugar is bad for you. Notice that too much is the operative phrase. It might surprise you that sucrose is vital for the brain to work correctly – without it it doesn’t work well. For the brain to work well sucrose is necessary. There are many other sugars that are both necessary and healthy.

join me on squidoo
Ok what is this squidoo thing all about? Read on a little and I’ll attempt to give you an overview. The internet is growing so fast that it is difficult to find the information you are looking for quickly even if you are a skilled researcher it might take you hours to find the right information about a specific item you are looking for and that might require you to search through several thousands of pages.
The future of the internet is in breaking down the information into very small niche subject areas and that’s where squidoo comes into its own.
Each squidoo page is a small site all on it’s own which should talk about a very narrow subject or niche. The narrower you make it the better it is in my opinion. You should position yourself as the expert in your chosen niche. Continue reading
