Ultram Story: Keeping Pain Control Under Control
When Aspirin Isn’t Enough It’s surprising how clearly we can recall getting hurt. Years later, we can recount our first fall from a too-tempting tree, a bee-sting, the birth of a child. We can even tell humorous stories about those events because the pain was transient – it passed. But many illnesses and conditions can make pain a daily visitor, interfering with our jobs, family lives, even sleep. Even ancient people tried to relieve the devastation of chronic pain using surgeries and medicinal herbs. By the 1800s, people started using narcotics (drugs like opium) to redu ...

Why Do You Have Asthma?
Asthma is an inflammatory condition where your bronchiales constrict causing breathing difficulties. Your bronchioles become inflamed for a variety of physical, emotional and environmental reasons. It is not contagious so, you cannot catch it from another person.
But what is the real cause asthma? Why do some people develop asthma and why is asthma more common in the western world?
Inheriting Asthma
However, you can inherit the asthma tendency from your parents, although people with asthma should not worry about their future children on this score.

Scientists Link Genetic Pathway to Development of Hearing
(HealthNewsDigest.com).. ATLANTA--Scientists are one step closer to understanding the genetic pathway involved in the development of hearing. New research findings, published online this week in the journal Nature Genetics, detail how sensory hair cells in the ear -- the cells largely responsible for hearing -- develop unique shapes that enable the perception of sound.

Brian Schutzius, 4, Dies; Boy Had Genetic Anomaly
Brian Henry Schutzius, a 4-year-old boy who could neither walk nor speak because of a rare genetic anomaly and who became the subject of medical studies across the country, died of complications from an infection Nov. 13 at Inova Fairfax Hospital.
Study Links Genetic Diseases to Intelligence
FleaPlus writes "The Economist, Sun-Sentinel, and FuturePundit report on a controversial study by Gregory Cochran and others which proposes a link between certain genetic conditions and above-average intelligence in Ashkenazi Jews. The 40-page study, published in the Journal of Biosocial Science, analyzes data on unusual patterns of genetic disease and relates it to a number of intelligence metrics. Although the intelligence data have traditionally been attributed to cultural factors, Cochran proposes that due to the unusual selection pressures the Ashkenazi faced between 800 and 1600AD certain genes developed which promote intelligence as single copies, but lead to particular diseases when somebody inherits two copies. According to Harvard cognitive scientist Steven Pinker, "It would be hard to overstate how politically incorrect this paper is... [though] it's certainly a thorough and well-argued paper, not one that can easily be dismissed outright.""

What Is Cancer, Anyway?
Cancer is not some foreign invader which has to be cut, burned
or poisoned in hopes that it will die before the patient dies.
No, cancer is simply a temporoary malfunction in your normal
cell division process.
Each of has about 75 trillion cells in our body. Virtually all
of them replace themselves many times during our lifetimes. How
many cells? Well, it's 75,000,000,000,000. That's a lot. They
have various life cycles, but in about 7 years, they have all
been regenerated. Amazing? I'll say!
So, on an average day, about 29 billion cells in your body

The Shoemaker And The Elves
Remember the story of the Shoemaker and The Elves?
The shoemaker would go to sleep and the elves would finish
any shoes he hadn't gotten around to.
Our minds function in much the same way, Our conscious,
logical mind is the shoemaker. Our subconscious is the
elves.
Give your conscious mind a goal, gather all the facts and
let the elves do their work.
Many of our greatest inventions and discoveries have come
after the scientist or researcher had given up and the
elves took over.
The structure of DNA had baffled researchers for years.

The Tibetan and Chinese health Secret: If you read one health report a year, this should be it!
It seems as if the health of America is failing. One million Americans will die of circulatory disease this year. Six hundred thousand lives will be cut short by cancer as well. How did we get in such a mess? I’m not sure. But there is a way out that is starting to generate a real buzz! Since CNN and the gang won’t talk about it I decided to write is article. Dear readers, I want to introduce you to the most nutrient dense food on the earth; wolfberries, or more specifically Lycium Barbarum. The western scientific community have verified what Chinese and Tibetan health practitio ...
