AID$: The Unheard Voices!

Millions of pounds are being plowed into the campaign against "AID$". In the battle against the so called disease, medical research has been almost exclusively devoted to defeating the infamous H-I-V /virus but this dispatch listens to the previously unheard voices of medical science which say HIV is not the cause AIDS. If the HIV theory is misguided both research effort and money are being channeled away from the real cause of the disease and the villification of thousands of people who are "HIV Positive" is not only unjust but cruely wrong.

New Clinical Research Treatment for Amblylopia, Strabismus, Lazy Eye!

Have adult amblyopia, strabismus, or both? Watch my video for a new research technique to help improve your vision. Amblyopia means that visual stimulation either fails to transmit or is poorly transmitted through the optic nerve to the brain for a continuous period of time. It can also occur when the brain "turns off" the visual processing of one eye, to prevent double-vision, for example in strabismus (crossed-eyes). It often occurs during early childhood, resulting in poor or blurry vision. Amblyopia normally affects only one eye in most patients. However, it is possible, though rare, to be amblyopic in both eyes, if both fail to receive clear visual images. Detecting the condition in early childhood increases the chance of successful treatment, especially if detected before the age of five. The earlier it is detected, and the underlying cause corrected with spectacles and/or surgery, the more successful the treatment in equalizing vision between the two eyes.

Can You Eat Healthy At Burger King?

BK's ingredients look like a chemistry experiment, not food. Bryan Marcel shows how to make eating at Burker King healthier. This is the 4th video in his seven part series on fast food. Is Burger King healthy? Is Burger King good for you? Is any fast food actually good for you? The focus of the American diet is calories and fat, when it should be on simple carbohydrates, sugar, HFCS and processed food (lots of chemicals and preservatives). In most cases fast food, such as Burger King is the same low quality processed food that you can buy at a regular grocery store. Burger king food is very highly processed. Burger King uses 55 ingredients, chemicals and additives including artificial flavor to make their grilled chicken patty. It never should take 55 ingredients to make a grilled chicken patty. Most of Burker King's food is highly processed in the same manner. Thank you for visiting Medicine Men. Link freely but please credit original content.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Exercises!

One of the most dehabilitating conditions in the modern era, carpal tunnel syndrome has made lives miserable for men and women alike. Champion Fitness Physical Therapists Jeff Schade and Michael Bennington explain the background of the condition and ways to deal with the problems it may cause, including exercises that anybody can do at home or work. Take some time to look at the secrets behind carpal tunnel.

Carpal tunnel syndrome is a disease of the hand characterized by numbness, tingling, pain, and weakness. The disease typically affects the thumb, index, and middle fingers and is often particularly troublesome at night. A major nerve, specifically the median nerve, travels down the arm and enters the hand through the carpal tunnel, which is located in the central part of the wrist. In people with carpal tunnel syndrome, pressure in the carpal tunnel is higher than in unaffected people, and median nerve irritation occurs. Thank you for visiting Medicine Men.

Blood-sucking Insects Cause AIDS-like Epidemic!

Chagas is a tropical disease and has been called the "disease of the poor." It is transmitted through insects nicknamed kissing bugs due to their tendency to infect victims on the lips. Chagas is like AIDS by incubation, treatment and by blood or mother-to-child transmission. About 300 thousand people in the Unites States have been diagnosed with Chagas - which produces parasites in the bloodstream. Parasites that can find their way to the heart and eventually cause heart failure. For many victims of the disease, by the time heart problems show up - it is generally too late. If discovered early, Chagas can be treated with an aggressive 3-month application of moderately expensive drugs. But some feel because the disease only affects the poor there is little incentive for drug companies to find alternative treatments or even a cure. Thank you for visiting Medicine Men.

Demand for camel meat in Egypt on the rise amid foot and mouth disease fears!

Egypt's largest camel market located just outside Giza is receiving nationwide attention as cattle across the country suffer from spreading foot and mouth disease. Camel traders flock to Birqash Camel Market with their camel cargoes, as the demand for camel meat is on the rise due to the fear of beef consumption. Camel meat was traditionally seen as a healthier altern ative to beef, due to its low levels of fat and cholesterol, but people are now choosing camel meat for safety rather than health measures. "Now we totally fear cow and cattle meat. So we switched to camel meat. Our cooking and our minced meat and everything is from pure camel meat. We have changed to camel meat after the media's continuous warnings to stop eating meat. I even have heard that the fresh milk is also contaminated with foot and mouth disease." The Birqash camel market opens early in the morning to ensure sales before it gets too hot during the day. The traders import the camels from Sudan, Somalia, Ethiopia and Uganda.
