Orthodox 'Modern' Medicine still teaches the doctors of ophthalmology and optometry that vision cannot improve, that the misshapen eyeball has 'grown' that way and that the only solution for defective vision is corrective lenses or surgery. It can be amazingly difficult to change the mind of a person who has a vested interest in the status quo; the eyes cannot be open to seeing if the mind is closed.

Asthma is a disease that affects the airways (tubes) in your lungs. Those tubes allow air to travel in and out of your lungs. When someone has an asthma “attack,” the inside of the airways swell and become smaller. The airways will produce mucus when they become swollen and irritated, making breathing even more difficult. There are also muscles on the outside of the airway that will constrict and make the airway smaller. These reactions generally occur from an allergic reaction.

Has your doctor told you about acupuncture (?000 B.C.) and chiropractic (1870)? These are two examples of non-drug, non-medical, completely proven, yet semi-accepted approaches to wellness. The question, "Is there sufficient proof?" is a criterion biased toward drug therapy. The more relevant question is "What is the best available technology?" Neurofeedback wins that question decisively.

PMFC is relatively new to North America and because it is not a medical device your doctor may not know about it.

Problems associated with a hole in the eardrum (eardrum or tympanic membrane perforation) will vary from one person to the next.

Everyone with an eardrum perforation will need to be careful to not get water in the ear.

Because your doctor was taught in medical school that menopause (ovarian failure) is normal and inevitable for women over 40. Therefore, it probably doesn't even occur to your doctor to help you protect your ovaries from damaging medications, or to help you extend the life of your ovaries. Ovarian failure (menopause) causes an unhealthy medical condition called hypogonadism. During the entire adult lifespan, hypogonadism is never considered normal.

Your lender certainly isn't going to tell you how to take money out of their pocket. Your accountant and lawyer don't stand to benefit if you save money on your mortgage so they don't have any motivation to tell you. Only educated advisors who specialize in services like this will tell you.

In terms of the environment, removing a "trigger" from the child's environment can often do wonders. For example, even though a child can survive the presence of a cat by inhaling steroids to control asthma, he or she would be far better off if the cat went to another home. Generally speaking, the more "triggers" you can remove, and the less medicine your child has to take as a result, the better he or she will be.

Keep in mind that all doctors are not alike. If your doctor has no training in nutritional science, he/she is not looking for the same things that a doctor trained in clinical nutrition is looking for. Any licensed physician can order these tests but they must establish an account with the lab.

If you are seeing a specialist, the plan must cover your care for the lesser of 90 days or through the current course of treatment.

I had waffles for breakfast, pasta salad with my lunch, and fettuccine alfredo for supper, and I didn’t feel sick all day.

It doesn’t mean that carbohydrates make you sick.

He/she probably does not yet know about the Buteyko Method. Some doctors do tell their patients about the Buteyko Method, and others will tell you that the method "will do no harm".

A: Your son's asthma is a serious problem, and needs to be taken seriously by the whole family. Cigarette smoke is very irritating to the lungs of a child with asthma, and may even cause permanent damage. Is your husband ready to quit? That's the best way to keep your son healthy. If your husband will not, or more likely, can't quit, then you need to ask him to go outside every time he smokes. Make sure your home is always a smoke-free place so your son can breathe easily.

Patients may benefit from a cardiac stress test during which exercise or a chemical substance is used to stress the heart and to help identify or rule out underlying cardiac disease. There are different types of "stress tests". A treadmill stress test consists of a patient exercising on the treadmill while his/her blood pressure and heart rhythm is monitored by the exercise technician or physician.

ldquo;Insulin resistance” is a deceptively simple sounding term. At the most basic level, the term describes a condition in which a person does not respond to insulin as well as a healthy person is expected to do. Usually, the implication is that blood glucose values are normal, but that insulin levels are driven higher than would normally be seen in a healthy individual in order to maintain control over carbohydrate metabolism.

Many doctors recommend this program for their patients because of our high success rate. You have nothing to lose but your habit - so give it a try. Do you remember when Oprah Winfrey lost all her weight the first time and was thin for about 10 minutes? That time she lost all her weight by going on a fast, instead of learning to change her eating habits. Now she looks fabulous and has kept the weight off for quite some time because she finally changed her behaviors.

There could be one of two reasons. The first is the most obvious: I've not had time to update the cast page. The second reason may be they haven't shown up enough times. A character is only added to the cast page if they've shown up at least three times and I think there's a possibility to re-use them in the future.

Asthma is a disease of the respiratory system. Asthma is a chronic state of hyper-responsiveness (when muscles in the airways constrict and narrow excessively in response to inhaled allergens or other irritants). Asthma is characterized by coughing, chest tightness, shortness of breath and wheezing. Asthma may be triggered by allergens or other, non-allergic stimuli, such as cold air or tobacco smoke.

Some doctors are not aware that it is important to use inhaled steroids and long acting medications to treat asthma. You may want to suggest that they review the newer guidelines on asthma treatment.

The reasons could be numerous. Many family doctors are not aware of this therapy, or the benefits of Magnetic Field Therapy. Others may not feel that they have access to it, as not all hospitals have this technology. Although there has been much scientific study of magnetic field therapy (see Expert Reports), some still regard it as an alternative medicine or homeopathic treatment method, and thus not falling within the realm of orthodox medicine.
