Researchers Identify Virus and Two Types of Bacteria as Major Causes of Alzheimer’s A worldwide team of senior scientists and clinicians have come together to produce an editorial which indicates that certain microbes – a specific virus and two specific types of bacteria – are major causes of Alzheimer’s Disease. Their paper, which has beenContinue reading “Researchers Identify Virus and Two Types of Bacteria as Major Causes of Alzheimer’s”

FAR OUT! WORMS MAY DOSE MICE WITH CANNABINOIDS TO KILL THE PAIN ELENA LACEY THE NEXT TIME you’ve got something to complain about, consider the plight of the intestinal worm. It not only has to figure out how to eat and breed in the confines of another creature, it has to prevent that creature’s body fromContinue reading “Worms may does mice with cannabinoids to kill the pain”

Study examines cannabis’ effects on brain neurochemistry Summary: Study evaluates the effects of regular cannabis use on cortical dopamine function in youth at high risk of psychosis. Source: Wiley A new Addiction Biology study provides the first evidence of a blunted response to stress-induced dopamine signaling in the brain’s prefrontal cortex in individuals at high risk for psychosis whoContinue reading “Study examines cannabis’ effects on brain neurochemistry”

Worms: A remarkably reasonable treatment option for psoriasis … https://www.psoriasis.org/files/…/FORUM-FALL-2013-worms-reasonable-treatment.p… by J Greb – ‎Related articles Epidemiological, experimental, and clinical evidence suggest that Trichuris Suis therapy may be both applicable and advantageous in the treatment of psoriasis. Epidemiologically, the de-worming of developed nations has been correlated with the increased prevalence of immune-mediated disease such as psoriasis. ParasiticContinue reading “De-worming and Psoriasis”

The home care industry is bracing itself for a host of new or amended federal, state and/or local obligations. At the same time, agencies are struggling to recruit and retain care workers. Agencies are at a bind with caregivers wanting to be paid more and clients wanted to pay less. Motherhealth bay area caregivers careContinue reading “Caregivers providing non medical home care wants to be paid more”

Pregnant women may pass on the effects of stress to their fetus by way of bacterial changes in their vagina, suggests a study in mice. It may affect how well their baby’s brain is equipped to deal with stress in adulthood. The bacteria in our body outnumber our own cells by about 10 to 1,Continue reading “Stress in pregnant moms and offspring affected 20 genes with decreased in Lactobacillus and new neurons”

The earliest evidence that the gut might be involved in Parkinson’s emerged more than 200 years ago. In 1817, the English surgeon James Parkinson reported that some patients with a condition he termed “shaking palsy” experienced constipation. In one of the six cases he described, treating the gastrointestinal complaints appeared to alleviate the movement-related problems associated withContinue reading “Neurodegenerative disease links gastrointestinal tract – Parkinson’s”

Eggplant and apple cider vinegar for skin cancer MEDICATIONS TO AVOID that worse PD (Parkinson’s disease) High altitude and low oxygen change the intestinal microbiome Non pasteurized beers have more health benefits Sex hormones control the immune response via circadian rhythm Stress adjusts gut bacteria in mice What to eat during the 8-hour feeding windowContinue reading “Top health hacks 8-6-2019”

This experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of exposure to high altitude and low oxygen on intestinal microbial communities using mice as an animal model. Fecal microbiota from mice housed in a control environment representing 2,200 meters (NC group) above sea level with 16% Oxygen and mice that were placed in a hypobaric chamberContinue reading “High altitude and low oxygen change the intestinal microbiome”

Females and males differ in the energy consumption and nutritional requirements which are based on the interactions between environmental factors and sex hormones. The studies in early 1940s ascertained that females have enhanced capability of producing antibodies. This enhanced immune reactivity in females helps mount an effective resistance to infection and therefore females are lessContinue reading “Sex hormones control the immune response via circadian rhythm”

Stress adjusts gut bacteria in mice Researchers found that the social pressure/stressed group had more Bilophila and Dehalobacterium than the controls.   Researchers have also discovered more elevated amounts of these gut bacteria in individuals with MS (multiple sclerosis). Researchers discovered that there is a chain of occasions whereby stress introduction (1), changes to gutContinue reading “Stress adjusts gut bacteria in mice “
