Ginkgo biloba …what is it good for? - (USA)
look at this in detail. There is at present no Cochrane review on its use for menopausal symptoms (though a protocol has been published this year). However, there have been trials. These have been of mixed quality; though a high quality trail was published in December 2006 (to be fair, this was after the RCN published this guidance). Newton et al. concluded that, “Black cohosh used in isolation, or as part of a multibotanical regimen, shows little potential as an important therapy for relief

Busting the Myths About Sleep? - (USA)
Pages: 1 2 Next » Single Page You probably can’t get through a single year without reading one article or watching one news segment on TV about the detriments the lack of sleep has on people. The blame is usually cast on modern society’s fast pace of life and there being so much to do. And, in fact, sometimes a lack of sleep can be a sign or symptom of other problems (such as this article notes in teens). The average adult gets between 7 to 7 1/2 hours of sleep per night, and the aver

Mulligan, Ph.D., Canadian Family Physician, 2002Last week, the Massachusetts’ state commission proposed a radical restructuring of how doctors, hospitals and healthcare providers will be paid in an effort to keep the state’s model universal coverage program from bankruptcy. Their proposals give us even more disturbing insights on what is being envisioned for all of us with health care reform. If you are older (or think you might

Spring Forward, Fall Back - should you watch out tomorrow morning? - (USA)
If you live in (most places in) the United States as well as many other countries, you have reset your clocks back by one hour last night (or last week). How will that affect you and other people? One possibility is that you are less likely to suffer a heart attack tomorrow morning than on any other Monday of the year. Why? Let me try to explain in as simple way as possible (hoping that oversimplification will not lead to intolerable degrees of inaccuracy). Almost all biochemical, physiologic

Health, Does Exercise Help In Managing Stress - (USA)
There is a great deal of ignorance about exercise being the most effective approach to stress management. Not only does it cost nothing in terms of money, but it also does not take up much time.

Money, Research, Recruitment - (USA)
It's been a rather hectic few days in my brain. Bear with me while I fill you in on a few thoughts.When Michael J. Fox revealed he had been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, one of the statements he made was that support of research into Parkinson's was also support for MS, Alzheimer's, and other illnesses affecting the brain. So true. Every little nugget of info we can learn about the brain helps us in our understanding of MS. It is dysfunction that enables us to discover how the brain works.
