The mummy, who was estimated to be between 40 and 50 years old when he died, showed signs of both arthritis and a buildup of calcium along blood vessel walls, an indication of heart disease. Both of these conditions are common among humans today. Researchers believe the Iceman was either killed or died as the result of an accident because of an arrowhead found in his shoulder.

YOUR SOURCE FOR INFORMATION ABOUT: Of Interest: HOME Info About This Site Rhymes and Reasons Read an excerpt from Pamela Rice Hahn's book, subtitled Thoughts on Coping with Chronic Illness , CFS, FM, MCS, and Other Stuff Excerpt from: 10 Natural Remedies That Can Save Your Life by James F. Balch (Doubleday, April 1999) GARLIC : No one is neutral about garlic, just as no one is neutral about skunks. Some people love the look of a skunk's soft, furry body, its quizzical face, its seemingly gentle demeanor. Others bluntly say that a skunk stinks, and they want nothing to do with it. And then there's garlic. Some cuisines seem to start with garlic, the other ingredients, like tomatoes, herbs, and shellfish, serving as mere afterthoughts. There are gourmets, bon vivants, and, if truth be told, gluttons who all speak of garlic the way wine connoisseurs speak of their favorite vintage and cheese lovers talk of the subtle distinctions in flavor of one variety over another. The garlic haters, on the other hand, say it smells terrible. They can't stand the way it comes out on the breath, the way the odor seems to ooze through the pores of the eater. They even joke that garlic is an excellent method of birth control; if one lover eats garlic, the other will maintain a distance of at least ten feet. For some people, garlic is even mildly toxic, upsetting their stomachs. Garlic and alcohol are substances that are not metabolized. They are absorbed through the stomach lining, which is why they leave the telltale odor. And it's why some people are sick to the stomach after ingesting them.

The Cheyenne Mountain Operations Center tracks every manmade object that enters North American airspace or that orbits the earth. It is the heart of the nation’s early warning system. It can detect the firing of a long-range missile, anywhere in the world, before that missile has left the launch pad. This futuristic military base inside a mountain has the capability to be self-sustaining for at least one month. Its generators can produce enough electricity to power a city the size of Tampa, Florida. Its underground reservoirs hold millions of gallons of water; workers sometimes traverse them in rowboats. The complex has its own underground fitness center, a medical clinic, a dentist’s office, a barbershop, a chapel, and a cafeteria. When the men and women stationed at Cheyenne Mountain get tired of the food in the cafeteria, they often send somebody over to the Burger King at Fort Carson, a nearby army base. Or they call Domino’s.

We hope this information is helpful to you in gathering information about your adrenal disorder. Coping with Prednisone and other cortisone-related medicines by Eugenia Zukerman and Julie R. Ingelfinger, MD Book Review by Emma Lou LaForge This is a book written to help people on megadoses of prednisone cope with the side effects encountered with this medicine. In this instance the patient took prednisone for ten months and was able to get off medication. Since her dosage was megadoses, (ten times the normal Addison dosage) her side effects were extremely elevated. She was a professional musician, middle-aged and absolutely determined not to gain weight or become moon faced, both associated with high dose prednisone treatments. Her concern for this and her mood changes and emotional turmoil seemed to out weigh the seriousness of eosinophilic pneumonitis, a rare lung disease. Her sister (the doctor) took a more stable outlook. Of course, she was only a "bystander" and trying to help in a professional, yet personal way.

Chronic Disease and Your Health Managing Your Chronic Illness General Resources Specific Diseases Asthma Congestive Heart Failure Chronic Kidney Disease Diabetes ... CDSMP - Patient Education Program Managing Your Chronic Illness: Information for Patients Active involvement in your own care is critical. You need to understand your condition well enough to take some responsibility for its management. You can and should be involved in decisions about your treatment. Traditionally, the doctor's role has been to diagnose and prescribe, while the patient's role has been to comply with the doctor's orders. This approach may still work for acute problems, but is far less effective in dealing with a chronic disease. Effective management of a chronic disease requires a partnership between you and your doctor. Your doctor's role in this partnership is to provide medical advice, offer treatment options and recommend resources. (See "Working with Your Doctor" under Specific Diseases.) Your role is to monitor your symptoms, report them accurately, and manage the disease on a day-to-day basis.

Caring for Children with Special Needs: Chronic Illnesses Doreen B. Greenstein, Ph.D. Developmental Psychologist Cornell University Extension Service Chronic illness is an "umbrella" term. It is not equivalent to a physical disability because, for example, children with cerebral palsy can be ill or well, independent of their disability. While it is likely that children will have a variety of health problems during infancy and childhood, these problems for most children are relatively mild and intermittent, and do not interfere with their development. For some children, however, chronic health conditions affect their everyday lives throughout their childhood. These children's parents and child care providers must also deal with the child's ongoing health problems on a daily basis. Chronic illness may limit a child's activities a lot or a little, and the limitations may come and go. It is impossible to determine a child's special care needs just from the name of an illness or diagnosis. Some factors perhaps are more important for children with chronic illnesses than for others because illness can interfere with their developmental needs. As one example, chronic illness can affect preschoolers as they become more aware of their bodies and mastery of the environment. A medical condition may necessitate parental control beyond the time when "typical" preschoolers are assuming part of the control.

Report on Chronic Illness Table of Contents Colorado HealthSite's View on Chronic Conditions. JAMA Article: "Persons with Chronic Conditions: Their Prevalence and Costs" Colorado HealthSite's View on Chronic Conditions. The Board of Directors and staff of Colorado HealthSite believe that studies on chronic conditions, such as the one recently reported on in JAMA (abstracted below) are very important. They not only tell us where the majority of our health care dollars go, but also where our health care system is failing. For example, the JAMA study identified several serious problems including: Most of our health care dollars go to the care of those that have chronic conditions, yet our health care delivery system is geared toward acute and episodic care. Attempts to manage chronic conditions by providing community-based services instead of institutional care has not decreased health care costs. Rather, this strategy has generally raised health care costs because reductions in institutional care have been more than offset by the increased use of community-based care. We at Colorado HealthSite are not surprised that the top-down strategies for managing chronic conditions have resulted in increased costs. Such strategies encourage patients to be passive consumers of health care services. In contrast, our philosophy is that:

COPING WITH IRRITABLE BOWEL SYNDROME © Saundra T. Gaines, 1998 Last Updated: GMT Change Your Diet :Many people have been able to keep their IBS more or less under control by changing their diet. It is a good idea to keep a journal listing foods eaten and symptoms, to try to learn what may exacerbate the IBS, as different foods aggravate the condition in different people. Some modifications will probably need to be made on a daily basis, and more stringent measures employed during a flare. It may be helpful to consult a registered dietitian or certified nutritionist to help make the changes. Eliminate Dairy, Sugar, Fat: Dairy products cause abdominal distress in most, if not all, IBS patients. An individual may be able to eat a small amount, or to use lactase tablets (One brand name is LactAid) or lactase free milk, which is now available at some grocery stores. In a flare, all milk products except yogurt should be avoided altogether. If foregoing dairy products, the patient should be sure to consume adequate amounts of calcium from other sources. Sugar and fat also provoke symptoms, and an effort should be made to keep them to a minimum. This also applies to fructose and the artificial sweetener sorbitol, found in many sugar-free gums and candies. A small amount of honey may be tolerated by some. The caffeine in coffee, tea, cola drinks, and chocolate causes these to be irritants, and the use of them should likewise be eliminated or at least controlled. Increase Fiber: A high-fiber diet is will lessen the severity of the symptoms in most cases. Whole grain breads and cereals, beans, fruits, and vegetables are good sources of fiber. A doctor may recommend that you also use an over-the-counter fiber supplement. High-fiber diets keep the colon mildly distended, and may help prevent spasms. If you are not used to such a program you may have increased amounts of flatulence for a few days or weeks, but will improve as the body becomes used to the new regimen. It is helpful in these cases to increase the amount of fiber gradually, in order to prevent excessive gas and pain while introducing the new program.

Seeking the assistance of a therapist can be a difficult process ... WHAT TO DO IF YOU OR SOMEONE YOU LOVE HAS CHRONIC FATIGUE SYNDROME Barbara Pino, BA, MA, MFCC Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) is an illness that is on the rise. It is so prevalent that the Center for Disease Control has a menu of pre-recorded information about CFS available on its info-line. Among private insurers, CFS has been the fastest rising cause of disability in both men and women since 1989. A presentation at the last Chronic Fatigue Syndrome conference by the U.S. Assistant Secretary for Health reflected the government's increasing attention to CFS as a real public health concern. If you believe you have CFS, receiving a diagnosis as early as possible can be most helpful. Finding a physician who is familiar with CFS and sensitive to the problems associated with it can be a task, but patients agree it is worth the effort. Most CFS associations and support groups have lists of doctors who are supportive. Frequently, patients find that a combination of traditional and holistic approaches is most effective in supporting the immune system. Almost all find that a changes in diet and lifestyle are essential elements to feeling better. Because CFS is a chronic illness, it is important to have coping mechanisms and lifestyle patterns which work for the long haul.

Primer on Aging Choose Font Size Normal Large Extra Large The Web helps those with chronic illness THE WEB HELPS THOSE WITH CHRONIC ILLNESS The Web helps those with chronic illness Reported by Susan Aldridge, PhD, medical journalist A web-based support program was found to be of value to patients with diabetes. People who have a chronic illness like diabetes have many needs - a good doctor-patient relationship, up-to-date information and advice on how to manage their condition in the long term. Researchers at the University of Washington have been investigating how the Internet can help support these needs. They developed a web-based diabetes support program for their patients which included access to their medical records, secure email to their service providers, and interactive disease management tools. Patients were interviewed before and after they used the program. The patients said they felt more valued and less limited in the care they were seeking after using the program. They also liked the access to their personal health information. But some said the program did not fulfil their expectations - perhaps because it felt too different to a visit to the doctor. This is a challenge that those developing such programs need to address. There is, say the researchers, great potential in using the internet in this way to help people manage a chronic disease.

Coping with Loss Caused by Chronic Illness by Cynthia Perkins It is no wonder that many people facing these multiple losses and the grief that naturally ensues find themselves experiencing high levels of anger, fear, helplessness, hopelessness, resentment, depression and damaged self-esteem. Coping with all these issues can be very overwhelming. There are several things we can do to help get though these difficulties and to cope better: Establish a good relationship with a supportive health care provider. Allow yourself to feel and express your feelings. Allow yourself to grieve for what you have lost. Find support, such as a support group, friends, counselor, etc. Recognize the limits in your life and set reasonable goals. Be realistic about what to expect from yourself. Learn to adapt, make substitutions and modifications so that you can still participate in fulfilling life activities. Do something fun! Learn to value your own company, become your own best friend and find your self worth based on inner strengths rather than on what you do. Take care of your body by following a healthy diet, mild exercise, and appropriate rest. Listen to your body. It will tell you what it needs. Pamper and nurture yourself with things that are enjoyable for you.

58. Chronic Illness - Consciously Pacing Your Days Is your doctor recommending exercise or a better diet? Make time to carefor your health. With chronic illness we don t fit into that mold. http://www.womenfolk.com/transcend/pacing.htm

Transcending Chronic Illness consciously pacing your days learning to slow down and live fully within your limitations We live in a stressful high speed culture. Employers expect top intensity of production out of their workers. Employees put up with this pressure because they want the money they are earning to buy those things they feel they've got to own. Even our children tend to be involved in too many activities. Many kids barely have time for home and family. Once we know our health is threatened we began to realize we must start taking better care of ourselves; quite a challenge in this frantic environment. It's not just a matter of outside pressures, we have internalized impossible expectations for ourselves as well. Many chronic disabilities come on gradually. Perhaps you have known for some time that things aren't right but you've ignored the warnings. Often it takes a frightening low before we are jarred into realizing we must make changes. Once we know how serious our health problems are we need to rethink how we are going to spend our days. We simply cannot continue our catapult toward destruction. I suggest sitting back and looking at your typical day. Write down the things that must be done and those that could be dropped. Then consider ways the "must do" items could be done by someone else. Do you have family members who could help out? Is it possible you could cut back on work hours if you are still able to work? Keep this list on hand then look back at it in a few days. Perhaps you will find you can let go of even more or you might discover creative ways to make some tasks easier. Be patient with yourself, it takes time to think this through and perseverance to carry it out.

Chronic Illness Impact and Response by Dr Freda Newcombe Honorary Consultant Neuropsychologist Serious chronic illness surely qualifies to be regarded as a critical life event. Does it differ, quantitatively or qualitatively, from "normal" phenomena - the experience of ageing, for example? Lupus and ageing have some features in common. Both "conditions", in the present state of knowledge, are irreversible; they tend to diminish the individual - physically and mentally. But ageing is inevitable; a process which the sentient human must anticipate and prepare for. Lupus is no respecter of age. Understandable, its sudden diagnosis - in the young and old - can evoke feelings of anger ("why me?"), depression associated with the variable and often unpredictable physical handicaps, and anxiety about the future. described in general terms as a multisystem connective disorder, the specific cause is unknown. Treatment tends to be palliative. Thus, the problem is one of management. In practice, how can patient and family learn to come to terms with the illness and find strategies to alleviate or even bypass some of its characteristic symptoms? In this context, sustained and committed professional attention is not always available. Voluntary support groups, therefore, play a crucial role - analogous to that adopted by HEADWAY for people who have incurred a head injury and their families. Associated with a courageous acceptance of the impact of Lupus, which can only be achieved over a period of time and with considerable psychological effort, is the central concept of control. Initially, this is vested in medical attention, advice and medication. In the long-terms, there is an inevitable shift as patients and families accept the need to play a major role in the management of the disorder of daily life. the taking over of decision-making and control - however simple and partial - is a crucial factor in the process of adjustment and learning.

It empowers you to improve the quality of your life, reduces helplessness and hopelessness and promotes self-confidence and self-esteem. There are many steps one can take to manage their illness, and these steps may vary greatly from week to week or from individual to individual. But, there are several essentials that are fundamental to any health care path regardless of your diagnosis. These essentials are: Proper Nutrition You are what you eat. What you eat has a profound impact on your mental and physical health. Eating a healthy diet is essential for optimal functioning and healing. Depending on your particular illness, this may include incorporating new foods into your diet or eliminating some favorites. At the very least you should be eliminating things such as sugar, caffeine, refined foods and unhealthy fats and replacing these with whole foods such as vegetables, whole grains, nuts and seeds, fruits and fresh or frozen meat and poultry. Preferably your diet should be free of chemicals and toxins found in the average diet such as pesticides, herbicides, additives, dyes and preservatives. Healing can't take place in a body fed with unhealthy foods and neither can maximum functioning.
