Individuals vary greatly, and some more affected than others by these energies. See similar questions...

With some, the condition first weakens and disables muscles in the arms or legs; with others, symptoms first appear in the throat area. See similar questions...

Benzodiazepines are general central nervous system (CNS) depressants. They are all very similar chemically. All benzodiazepines act by enhancing the actions of a natural brain chemical, GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid). GABA is a neurotransmitter, an agent which transmits messages from one brain cell (neuron) to another. The message that GABA transmits is an inhibitory one: it tells the neurons that it contacts to slow down or stop firing. See similar questions...

It is sometimes caused by a lack of copper in the diet. It is more likely a result of genetic problems or from consuming too much zinc. See similar questions...
