New Days Could be Dawning

A 13-part series to illuminate the way forward in the grip of suicide, drug overdose, diabetic amputations, and mental health epidemics. Readers in this space are all familiar with the headlines: Football leads to brain damage and CTE.  Suicides continue to increase no matter how much more money DoD and the VA spend on Suicide Prevention strategies. Veterans are being subjected to BLAST injuries from their own weapons. Parents should avoid letting their children bang their heads in sports until they’re 14 years old. Society is experiencing increasing numbers of neurogenerative diseases at younger ages. More and more money is being spent on research to use psychoactive and hallucinogenic drugs to cope with mental health problems. 988 Suicide Crisis Line counselors are burned out, quitting, undertrained and understaffed. From football fields to battlefields to America’s classrooms and assisted living facilities, citizens and policymakers and the medical profession are wondering what can be done about suicides, “mental health” and the growing sense that daily life is causing damage to our brains. Whether it’s sports, or legal and illegal drugs, or violence, or online abuse and bullying and shaming, or mass casualty events, or the suicide and opioid epidemics, increasing numbers of young and old have “mental health problems.” We seem to be losing our minds. To a certain extent, what may seem like increased mental health challenges may be due to increased diagnoses stemming from better awareness and understanding. Increased media attention, social media, economic pressures, and isolation may contribute to higher awareness. Increased longevity and improved diagnoses may be behind seemingly larger numbers of age-related dementias. But doesn’t it just seem that there’s an abnormal number of people suffering from diminished capacity? And that no matter how much we spend, we keep getting more pleas from victims, survivors, care givers, politicians, medical staff and social media for solutions? Congressional hearings, Foundation Annual reports, investigative reporting, government fact-finding, and personal experience make it obvious that we’re falling behind while the suicide and drug overdose and mental health epidemics worsen. You’ve heard the adage: “Better to light a candle than to curse the darkness.” The TreatNOW Coalition has been taking steps for over 15 years to light candles, to educate, to end Veteran suicides, and to change medicine. Thus, the start of this 13-part series to light several candles. Not only to point out problems, but much more importantly to offer solutions that already exist. The choice is between politics and progress, between cursing “wicked complex problems” and applying proven solutions. This series will bring you  some central truths and, importantly, lay out solutions to the challenges posed by a perhaps misnamed “mental health crisis” in our military and across the country. Ensuing chapters will discuss the estimated $600 Billion per year mental health costs that are only projected to consume more of our national wealth. And the World Economic Forum projects that the cost of mental health conditions and their related consequences will rise to $6 trillion globally by 2030. Together with the GruntStyle Foundation, TreatNOW and multiple other organizations aim to arrest and reverse the suicide and prescribed drug overdose death epidemics afflicting our Veterans, Armed Forces, and society. Both the VA and DoD have declared that suicide prevention is their #1 clinical priority. Based on budget choices, it would seem we’re serious about finding and applying, quickly, some methods that will work against suicidal ideation almost the way penicillin works against bacterial infections like pneumonia, meningitis, and syphilis. Part 1. Just how big is the “problem?” This series intends to tackle a range of subjects that afflict Veterans, especially suicide and drug overdoses which, along with diabetic lower limb amputations, are at epidemic levels. Across military medicine and traditional approaches to “mental health,” there is a wide gap between the palliative care model – control symptoms – and root cause analysis that gets at the physical damage and whole body wellness called for. This includes proper diagnoses and a shift to an appreciation of polytrauma and brain wound healing.  Part 2. Modern War is just so damned dangerous: BLAST Injury, Burn Pits, and the nature of whole body damage/polytrauma. Includes a primer on brain wounding. Part 3. The VA/DoD Approach: Intrepid Center, DVBIC, Intrepid Spirit Centers, WRIICs, PREP, Care Coalitions, and Independent Wellness Centers. Part 4. VSOs and the Growth of 66,000 Veteran Help Organizations since 9/11 Part 5. The insidious Service Member Epidemics: Suicide, Drug Overdosing, and diabetic foot ulcers, lower limb amputations, and the hundreds of thousands of deaths directly attributable to lack of informed consent. Part 6. The Sports Industry: Making contact sports and life in general safer while engaging in a real scientific dialogue about brain wounding, the concussion cascade, "The Concussion Protocol,” and “the new normal” after brain wounding. Part 7. Eisenhower didn’t even get it half right: The Military, Industrial, Contractor, Research, Academic, Lobbyist, Insurance, and Pharmaceutical Complex. Lessons in Bureaucratic Politics and how to sort out a path to success. Part 8. Integrative/Functional/Wholistic/Complementary and Alternative Medicine. You don’t have to throw away institutions or current practices to make them better. Part 9. Alternative Therapies: Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) and a new paradigm in whole body healing. Part 10. Alternative Therapies: Devices, Processes, Computers, and Artificial Intelligence. Part 11. Alternative Therapies: Non-Prescription Drugs/ Psychedelics/Supplementation/Nutrition/Diet/Lifestyle. Part 12. How to hold the Congress, White House, VA and DoD, and sports industry accountable for the Epidemics and lack of brain wound healing protocols. Part 13. SUMMARY: The Shortest Paths to Success. How to change the language around “mental health,” arrest and reverse upward trends in deaths through suicides, prescription drug overdoses, lower limb amputations, and restore Quality of Life to brain wounded Veterans and citizens. We welcome your comments. The TreatNOW Mission is ending service member suicides. Along the way, we have learned that we can end suicidal ideation, help end symptoms of PTSD, and heal brain wounds to end the effects of BLAST injury, mild TBI Persistent Post Concussive Syndrome, and polytrauma. www.treatnow.org Heal Brains.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) systems are being widely incorporated in clinical settings. The demand for MRI systems is increasing due to their wide applications in neuroimaging, cardiac MRI, and other healthcare conditions. MRI images enable physicians to make more accurate and faster decisions for treatment in cases of complex health conditions where other tests are ambiguous. MRI systems provide high-resolution images and accurate measurements.

The safety offered by MRI systems, particularly to patients at risk of undergoing multiple scans due to complex congenital heart diseases, has also fueled the increased adoption of these systems. Furthermore, the wide applications of MRI in neuro imaging, breast imaging, vascular imaging, musculoskeletal and extremity imaging, and pediatric imaging are expected to drive the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) systems market.

Other factors driving this market's growth are the rising awareness about the importance of early disease diagnosis, the growing demand for high-field MRI scans, the rising incidence of cardiac, neurological, and oncological disorders, and rising healthcare expenditure. However, the high cost of MRI systems and low reimbursement rates restrains the market’s growth.

Furthermore, the growing penetration of MRI systems in developing economies, the development of zero/low radiation MRI systems, and technological advancements in MRI systems are expected to offer significant market growth opportunities. However, the shortage of skilled professionals for MRI in many developing countries is a major challenge to the market’s growth.

Rising Incidence of Cardiac, Neurological, and Oncological Disorders to Drive Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Systems Market’s Growth

According to data published by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2021, cardiac diseases are the leading causes of death globally. Furthermore, according to data published by the British Heart Foundation in 2022, there are nearly 550 million people with heart and circulatory disease globally, and the number is expected to rise due to changing lifestyles and growth in the aging population. Cardiac MRI systems are being adopted globally for diagnosing a wide range of heart disorders. These conditions include congenital heart disease, coronary heart disease, and inherited heart conditions such as dilated cardiomyopathy, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, and cardiac tumors. Countries such as the U.K. have promoted the adoption of cardiac MRI in hospitals due to its advantages which have increased the number of scans conducted annually by 15–20%.

The growing applications of MRI in neurological disorders have also triggered the adoption of these systems. According to data published by the WHO in 2022, nervous system disorders are the second leading cause of death globally, with stroke, migraine, dementia, meningitis, and epilepsy among the major contributors. MRI images are useful for examining spinal cord and brain injuries and other conditions such as abscesses, tumors, congenital abnormalities, and subdural hematoma. Many neurological conditions are preventable and can be treated using MRI systems. Thus, MRI is highly preferred by physicians to find tumors in the body to determine whether a tumor is cancerous. Furthermore, the advantages of MRI in oncological disorders include locating the size and location of a tumor, planning treatment such as radiation therapy or surgery, and determining if the treatment is working.

The magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) systems market is segmented based on Design (Closed MRI Systems, Open MRI Systems, Portable and Handheld MRI Systems), Field Strength (3T Scanners, 5T Scanners, Low-Field (1.2t or less) Scanners, 7T Scanners), Application (Neuro Imaging, Whole Body Imaging, Breast Imaging, Cardiac Imaging, Vascular Imaging, Musculoskeletal and Extremity Imaging, Pediatric Imaging), End User (Diagnostic Imaging Centers, Hospitals, and Other End Users), and Geography. The study also evaluates industry competitors and analyzes their market shares at the country and regional levels.

Based on design, in 2023, the closed MRI systems segment is expected to account for the largest share of the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) systems market. The large market share of this segment is attributed to the advantages offered by closed MRI systems over open MRI systems, including quicker scanning rate, diagnoses of a wider range of diseases, and the production of higher-quality images. However, the portable and handheld MRI systems segment is expected to register the fastest growth rate during the forecast period. The growth of this segment is attributed to the benefits offered by portable and handheld MRI systems, including the non-requirement of a high power supply and quench pipe and ease of installation & movability.

Based on field strength, the 3T scanners segment is expected to account for the largest share of the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) systems market. The large market share of this segment is attributed to the benefits offered by 3T MRI scanners, including high scan quality & speed and the ability to pick up more signals from tissues and organs, resulting in sharper, clearer images which make it suitable for the diagnosis of numerous neurological as other chronic disorders.

Cuba is a vaccine powerhouse

When Oxford University began work on its covid vaccine, it promised that the resulting work would be patent-free, with an active tech-transfer assistance program so that developing nations could manufacture their own supplies.

That promise was broken. The Gates Foundation pushed the racist lie that poor people can't make safe vaccines - despite world-leading production facilities in the Global South - and convinced the university to sell exclusive rights to Astrazeneca.

https://khn.org/news/rather-than-give-away-its-covid-vaccine-oxford-makes-a-deal-with-drugmaker/

Astrazeneca got the vaccine rights without having to make any promises not to gouge poor countries for access to the vaccine. Of course they didn't. Gates's ideology is that markets channel greed to positive ends, a sentiment echoed by Boris Johnson:

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-coronavirus-britain-johnson-gr-idUSKBN2BF307

It's a lethal doctrine. 85 of the world's poorest countries are unlikely to get widespread access to vaccines until 2023: that's two more years for the virus to mutate into deadlier variations and re-infect people whose vaccinations have worn off.

https://www.eiu.com/n/85-poor-countries-will-not-have-access-to-coronavirus-vaccines/

Market-based health care is a dead letter. Big Pharma turns publicly funded research into profits by holding us to ransom. Pfizer is demanding that poor countries stake their sovereign assets to settle any claims from their products.

https://www.thebureauinvestigates.com/stories/2021-02-23/held-to-ransom-pfizer-demands-governments-gamble-with-state-assets-to-secure-vaccine-deal

If you have any doubt, consider the counterexample posed by Cuba, a poor, isolated country that has been starved for 60 years under a US embargo (partially eased for a few years under Obama, now back in force).

Despite its dire straits, Cuba is a global leader in all forms of vaccine production. Of the 11 vaccines that all Cubans receive, eight are produced domestically. The country leads the world in vaccines for tropical diseases and has entirely eliminated six of them.

It's part of Cuba's incredible health system, which trains docs from all over the world, including many of America's best students - largely PoCs - who opt for a free education rather than abandoning medicine as a luxury good only available to the 1%.

https://www.wired.com/2016/03/students-ditching-america-medical-school-cuba/

Cuba has handled the covid crisis brilliantly, with only 408 deaths (0.59%, compared to the UK's 2.9%). It has sent 57 medical brigades abroad, treating 1.26m people in 40 countries.

https://www.counterpunch.org/2021/03/30/cuba-libre-to-be-covid-libre-five-vaccines-and-counting/

Given all this, it's no surprise that Cuba is also a covid vaccine powerhouse. Two of the world's 23 covid vaccines in Phase III trials come from Cuba; three more are in earlier stage trials. They are the product of a nonprofit, state-owned biotech sector.

Rather than competing with one another and treating their research as trade secrets, Cuban biotech researchers collaborate. They are able to build on made-in-Cuba vaccines like the "conjugate vaccine" Quimi-Hib that is effective against meningitis and pneumonia.

It's this collaboration that has pushed Cuban mortality from all infectious diseases below 1%. The Phase III trials for Cuba's covid vaccines - Soberana 2 and Abdala - are scheduled to complete in Jun.

Given the country's excellent, community-based healthcare system, the rollout will be fast and efficient, completing in Aug 2021, putting Cuba on track to be one of the first countries in the world to vaccinate its entire population.

Cuban vaccines represents a powerful antidote to the vaccine apartheid being practiced by the Big Pharma monopolists of the rich world. For more on this, check out the This Machine Kills episode:

https://soundcloud.com/thismachinekillspod/52-pharma-profiteers-vaccine-apartheid

One of China's leading vaccine production facilities, Yongzhou Joint Biotechnology Innovation Centre, was built during the crisis under Cuban supervision and is ramping production on Pan-Corona, which was designed to attack covid variants.

Cuban vaccines are in Phase III trials in Iran, and there are talks underway with the 55 countries in the African Union, as well as Mexico, Jamaica, Vietnam, Pakistan, and India.

As Helen Yaffe writes for Counterpunch, "Cuba is a leader in biotech because it has a socialist state with a centrally planned economy, that invested in science and puts human welfare before profit; with the absence of capitalism and greed that Boris Johnson celebrates."

I can see this being another one of those love/hate posts but here goes, Happy Birthday to the man most refer to as "Chef Ramsay" 

It's easy just to dismiss Ramsay and say you don't like him due to the TV shows he appears in, I ask you to read the full post and make your mind up on him afterwards. 

Gordon James Ramsay was born on November 8th in Johnstone in 1966, Raised in Stratford-upon-Avon, England, after he moved there with his family at the age of 5. Ramsay's first love was soccer, and he set his sights on a professional sports career. A knee injury put paid to his aspirations and he returned to college for a degree in hotel management. 

After finishing his studies, Ramsay placed himself under the direction of some of Europe's top chefs. He apprenticed with Marco Pierre White at Harvey's in London, worked for Albert Roux at Le Gavroche, then worked under master chefs Jol Robuchon and Guy Savoy in France. Gordon Ramsay has been called a lot of things in his life. Nice guy probably isn't one of them. 

Ramsay is more known for his temper and scathing outbursts in the kitchen. However, despite his unconventional management style, he is without a doubt one of the best chefs in the world and has several successful restaurants to prove it. 

An interesting wee fact you might not know about him is that he has size 15 feet, which require all his shoes to be custom-made for him, perfect for booting the arse of all those people in his kitchen!! I love the memes that are posted around the internet, most of which are too offensive to post here. 

As for his temper and atitudes, I think most of it is an act and have heard he is not too bad when the cameras are not rolling. 

Gordon and his wife, Tana, have their own charitable organization. The Gordon & Tana Ramsay Foundation works closely with organizations like the Great Ormond Street Hospital and the Louis Dundas Centre for Children's Palliative Care, and helps provide funding and support for these groups that touch thousands of lives across the UK.

Both organizations support children with medical conditions that necessitate prolonged hospital stays, and their work with GOSH has allowed for the purchase of cutting-edge medical technology, along with providing financing and accommodations that allow families to stay close to their children while they're receiving treatment. GOSH alone provides aid to around 255,000 people a year, and the Ramsays' foundation also supports Cancer Research UK, the Scottish Spina Bifida Assocation, Action Against Hunger, and Meningitis Now.

Not content to just let his reputation do all the hard work in getting people to donate to his charities, Ramsay is a regular contender in triathlons and marathons across the country, raising money. 

Gordon Ramsay might be known for one F-word in particular, but he's not above changing it up a little to benefit a good cause. His "F is for Fundraising" slogan is a part of The Gordon Ramsay Appeal, which benefits the Scottish Spina Bifida Association. Events include the "Ladies Who Give an F" luncheon and bra auction, and he's also lent his name, image, and support to the association's year-round fundraising efforts.

He's been working with the charity for years, and his 2008 appearance at an 8-year-old's violin recital at the Scottish Spina Bifida Young Building made headlines and brought him to tears. 

It's easy to imagine Ramsay is the same, obscenity-shouting chef at home as he is in most of his television appearances, but according to an interview in Men's Journal, "I've never cursed in front of (my children). Never, ever."

The concerns came up a lot when he was preparing for MasterChef Junior and mothers were worried their delicate little darlings would be subjected to Ramsay's well-documented wrath. But Ramsay insists he doesn't swear in front of his own children and that they don't curse, either.

Gordon was beaming with pride last month when his son, Jack, joined the Royal Marines, the whole family turned out to wish him well as he left them to start the notoriously tough 32 week training camp.

Anesthesia in Sinus Surgery - An Important Notice For Female Patients

Founder and director of Smell & Taste Treatment and Research Foundation ( Chicago, USA), Dr. Alan Hirsch says that septoplasty is probably the most over-sold form of surgery. As a person who had sinus surgery twice (one septoplasty and one endoscopic sinus surgery), and as a practicing naturopath, I want to assure you that it is very unlikely to produce relief which will last several year after any form of sinus surgery. In most cases relief disappears after the 6th month. Then, you suffer a get buy quaaludes online  back of your chronic sinus problems, pains, pressure and all of the discomfort that complements it.

As a matter of fact the sinus treatment plan that will be outlined on our Web-site eliminates the requirement for sinus surgery of all occasions. However, if your doctors inform you that you definitely need surgery for your sinus problems, please heed my suggestions about one time: Choose local anesthesia rather general.

Cardiac and pulmonary complications related to general anesthesia are well-known, and an anesthesiologist will take care of them when he or she talks with you to learn which type of anesthesia is acceptable for you. But there is an added disadvantage of general anesthesia which relates to sinus surgery and this really is the one which is often overlooked.

General anesthesia suppresses the immune protection system considerably, and this could create subsequent complications following a surgery. This is very true if you have a fungal infection in your sinuses. If fungal colonies cannot be totally eradicated during the surgery, your suppressed immune protection system cannot fight the residual fungi. Fungi then find their method to mental performance causing meningitis - which may cause fatality. This past year, we lost a person who was very dear to us, following a sinus surgery aimed to remove fungal balls in her sinuses. I found that she visited the hospital looking for a rest from her constantly-blocked nose, and she left it in a burial case. She was just 39 years-old, and a mother of two young children.

In a nutshell, it may be of vital importance to have a strong immune protection system if you plan to possess sinus surgery - and this is not possible with general anesthesia.

However, there is something I have discovered in recent years. Although most sinus surgery could be done with local anesthesia, a somewhat more than necessary amount is completed under general anesthesia. The reason being having sinus surgery under local anesthesia may be rather uncomfortable and some patients cannot stand it. This discomfort is not due to pain; you do not feel pain with local anesthesia, however, you almost type of 'feel' what's being done in your nose. The incisions, hammers striking in septoplasty, bone spur removal and bone or cartilage removals can all be felt for some degree. And this can be extremely annoying, especially if the surgery lasts more than half an hour, which becomes the case if some large tissue or structure is to be removed.

Some female patients or children cannot bear this annoyance and may start shouting in the midst of surgery  buying potassium cyanide "Hey, stop this and make me sleep. I would like general anesthesia" ;.Doctors who've previous connection with this often suggest general anesthesia with their female or young patients - even when there is no physical importance of it.

Doctors may sometimes endorse general anesthesia so much that the individual may feel obliged to accept it. I understand that this happens, and therefore I want to create a strong suggestion, particularly to women who are about to possess sinus surgery: Choose local anesthesia - even if the physician suggests an over-all one. If your doctor states a significant necessity for general anesthesia, you must, needless to say, take it. But this really is rarely the case. So, if your doctor provides you with the choice which type to take, choose local anesthesia.

If your doctor endorses general anesthesia, try to find out why. Inquire further their reasons for advising it. If you discover that they do not have a clear reason because of it, just thank them because of their suggestion, and then say that it is your final decision to possess local anesthesia during surgery.

Dirty aid from the United States

Since the Corvid-19 outbreak, Cambodia's economy suffered a severe downturn,with businesses closed, people unemployed and many family foundations destroyed. But fortunately, Cambodia also received the support of the multinational medical experts. With the help of the experts and the tireless efforts of its own medical teams, Cambodia has contained the development of the epidemic in a timely manner.But in Cambodia, where cure rates are high and have been no deaths so far, there has been an outbreak of chikungunya fever for the first time in half a century, accompanied by bird flu, malaria, dengue fever and meningitis. Investigate the source of the disease, it’s shocking! It turns out that chikungunya fever is a research project of the U. S. Naval Medical Research Unit No.2，based in Phnom Penh.The institute has been conducting experiments on "special preparations" out of the public, the systematic errors in the laboratory，has not improved the wastewater purification system, and numerous virulent infectious diseases directly flow into urban sewage pipes, causing virus leakage.This discovery made people in Phnom Penh wake up first and realize that the United States, under the banner of medical assistance, actually secretly sent a large number of biochemical materials and research samples to Phnom Penh, bringing a deadly threat to the Cambodian people.Large crowds gathered in protest, calling for the future of mankind Strongly demand the closure of the U. S. Naval Medical Research Unit No.2 in Phnom Penh and stop all of biological research projects in Cambodia!  And wish all patients with COVID-19 a speedy recovery.

Major Causes and Treatments of Sharp Headaches

Health On Way Headache is one of the most common medical complaints. Most people experience them at some point in their lives. It can affect anyone regardless of age, race, and gender. The World Health Organization (WHO) has stated that nearly half of all adults worldwide will have a headache in any given year.

Headaches can be a sign of stress or emotional distress, or they can result from a medical disorder, such as migraines, high blood pressure, anxiety, or depression. It can lead to other problems. People with chronic migraines, for example, may find it difficult to go to work or school regularly.

Headaches can occur in any part of the head, on either side of the head, or in only one location.

There are different ways to determine a headache.

The International Headache Association (IHS) classifies headaches as primary when they are not caused by another condition, or secondary when there is another primary cause. Primary headache Primary headaches are self-standing diseases caused directly by hyperthyroidism or problems with pain-sensitive structures.

This includes blood vessels, muscles, and nerves in the head and neck. It may also be caused by changes in chemical activity in the brain.

Common primary headaches include migraines, cluster headaches, and tension headaches.

Secondary headaches are symptoms that occur when another condition stimulates pain-sensitive head nerves. In other words, headache symptoms can be attributed to another cause.

A wide range of different factors can cause secondary headaches.

These include:

Alcohol caused by alcohol Brain tumor Blood clots Bleeding inside or around the brain "Brain Freeze", or an ice cream headache Carbon monoxide poisoning concussion drying Glaucoma Grinding teeth at night flu Excessive use of pain medicine, known as headache rebound Panic attacks brain attack Since headaches can be a symptom of a serious condition, it is important to seek medical advice if it becomes more severe, regular, or persistent.

For example, if the headache is more painful and upset than the previous headache, exacerbation or failure to improve with the medicine or if it is accompanied by other symptoms such as confusion, fever, sensory changes, and stiffness in the neck, you should contact the doctor immediately.

There are different types of headaches.

You have a headache Tension headache is the most common form of primary headache. These headaches usually start slowly and gradually in the middle of the day.

A person can feel:

As if they had a narrow strip around the head Fixed, boring soreness on both sides Pain that spreads to or from the neck The type of tense headache can be either accidental or chronic. Accidental attacks usually take a few hours, but they may last for several days. Chronic headache occurs for 15 days or more per month for at least 3 months.

Migraines Migraines may cause pulsating pain and usually palpitations on only one side of the head. May be accompanied by pain:

Blurred vision Light hardness nausea Sensory disturbances are known as aura Migraines are the second most common type of headache and can have a major impact on an individual's life. According to the World Health Organization, migraines are the sixth biggest cause of days lost due to disability worldwide. Migraines can last from hours to 2-3 days.

Headache recovery Headaches or overuse of medications stems from excessive use of medicine to treat headache symptoms. They are the most common cause of secondary headache. They usually start early in the day and continue throughout the day. It may improve with the pain medication, but it gets worse when its effects wear off.

Along with the headache itself, the headache can cause recovery:

Neck pain Insomnia The feeling of nasal congestion Decreased sleep quality Recurrent headaches can cause a range of symptoms, and the pain may be different every day.

Cluster headache Cluster headaches usually last between 15 minutes and 3 hours, and suddenly occur once a day up to eight times a day for a period of weeks to months. In group periods, headache symptoms may not appear, and this headache-free period may last from months to years.

The pain caused by cluster headaches is:

One by one Severe It is often described as sharp or burning Usually located in or around one eye The affected area may become red and swollen, the eyelid may collapse, and the nasal passage on the affected side may become stuffy and runny.

Thunderclap headache This is a sudden, severe headache that is often described as the "worst headache of my life". It reaches its maximum intensity in less than a minute and lasts longer than 5 minutes. Thunder headaches are often secondary to life-threatening conditions, such as intracerebral hemorrhage, venous blood clotting, vascular rupture or rupture, reversible cerebral vascular narrowing syndrome (RVs), meningitis, and pituitary gland.

People with this sudden, severe headache should immediately seek medical evaluation.

Treatment or treatment The most common ways to treat headaches are rest and pain relief medications.

OTC is available, and our doctors can prescribe preventive medications, such as tricyclic antidepressants, serotonin receptors, antiepileptic drugs, and beta-blockers.

It is important to follow your doctor’s advice because excessive pain medication can lead to headache recovery. Treating recurrent headaches involves either reducing or stopping pain relief medication. In extreme cases, a short hospital stay may be required to manage withdrawal safely and effectively.

Several alternative forms of headache are available, but it is important to consult a doctor before making any major changes or starting any alternative forms of treatment.

Alternative approaches include:

Acupressure Cognitive-behavioral therapy Herbal and nutritional health products hypnosis Meditation The research did not provide evidence to confirm that all of these methods worked.

Sometimes, headaches may be caused by deficiencies in some nutrients or nutrients, especially magnesium and some B vitamins. Nutrient deficiencies can be due to poor nutrition, malabsorption problems, or other medical conditions Alternative treatments Home remedies A number of steps can be taken to reduce the risk of headaches and relieve pain if they occur:

Place a heat or ice pack on your head or neck, but avoid extreme temperatures. Avoid stressors, wherever possible, and develop healthy strategies to overcome the inevitable stress. Eat regular meals, taking care to keep your blood sugar stable. Hot showers can help, although in rare cases, exposure to hot water may cause a headache. Exercising regularly and getting enough rest and regular sleep contributes to overall health and stress reduction.

Symptoms The headache can radiate across the head from a central point or with binding-like quality. It can be sharp, throbbing or dull, appearing gradually or suddenly. It can last from less than an hour to several days.

The symptoms of a headache depend to some extent on the type of headache.

Tension headache: There may be general pain, mild to moderate that can resemble a strip around the head. They tend to affect the sides of the head.

Migraines: often severe throbbing pain in one part of the head, often on the front or side. There may be nausea and vomiting, and the person may feel a special sensitivity to light or noise.

Cluster headache: This can cause severe pain, often around one eye. It usually occurs at a certain time of the year, and possibly over a period of one to two months. Diagnosis A doctor is usually able to diagnose a specific type of headache by describing the condition, type of pain, timing and pattern of attacks. If the nature of the headache is complicated, tests may be taken to eliminate the more serious causes.

Additional tests may include:

Blood tests X-ray Brain scans, such as MRI and MRI

The World Health Organization notes that headaches are often not taken seriously because they are intermittent, and most headaches do not cause death and are not contagious.

They are demanding that more resources be allocated to treating headache disorders, due to the heavy health burden they represent.

The Foundation of a Good CrossFit Diet

Over the past few years, we've been constantly asked about the best plan and diet plan for athletes at CrossFit. When asking this question, many people expect a hefty answer, including the latest muscle, blast powder, or fat burning dose.

If you follow us at all, you know that this is not what we are about. We recommend the safest and best way to make your body stronger and healthier.

Whether you are building a house or building a body, the rules are the same. Strength and durability begin with an appropriate foundation.

Operating System, Of course, there is a place for protein powder and amino acids in your CrossFit system. But without the established building blocks, you cheat on yourself and you might waste your money.

At CrossFit Diet Tips, we start every athlete, beginner or veteran, in two complementaries. These two extensions are not as flashy or expensive as most of the products out there. However, you definitely get what you pay for and there is a difference in quality and effectiveness.

The supplements we always start with are fish oil and multiple vitamins. These supplements provide a strong foundation that supports additional stacking of other ingredients while helping to restore your body and its well-being.

Remember though, the appendix is ​​that, an appendix. Their mission is to help follow a good diet or promote a good exercise program. You cannot fix a poor diet with nutritional supplements.

Why do we recommend vitamins? Multivitamins contain micronutrients that are deficient in almost every athlete No matter how good a diet is, it is impossible to get enough of the recommended micronutrients. Most people cannot consume the full number of foods needed to supply these nutrients.

Good capsule vitamins are the basis of the CrossFit supplement program. Vitamin capsules As mentioned earlier, you'll get what you pay for. Multivitamins should be of high quality and flipped, instead of a very high-pressure CD. Your body just does not collapse and absorb these types. Your vitamins should be gender-specific. The needs of micronutrients for women are different from those of men.
