Never mind that stomach acid in your stomach is healthy and necessary. When you take an antacid, you reduce your stomach acid, which can make digestion more difficult. This can lead to, well, indigestion.

Basically antacids provide temporary relief to a problem they can make worse over time.

SATURDAY, June 11 (HealthDay News) -- Men age 45 and older with diabetes may be more than twice as likely as non-diabetic men to have low testosterone levels, U.S. researchers report.

The multi-center study, involving more than 2,100 men in 26 states, also found that sexual dysfunction was the most common symptom experienced by men with diabetes and low testosterone.

How many times have you tried to diet and managed successfully for a few days or even weeks - and then found that your eating has spun out of control and you have piled all the weight on again? Does your weight fluctuate like a yo-yo? Have you tried every diet in the book and spent a fortune, only to find yourself back at square one (or worse) every time?

This is a problem shared by many people. Society tells us that we are not attractive or lovable unless our bodies are 'perfect'. Poor self-esteem causes us to desperately struggle to achieve that 'model figure'.

The major ingredient missing from most diets is an understanding of how our bodies 'think' and the role that food and eating (or overeating!) play in our emotional functioning. Without this knowledge, you can diet, starve, fast, exercise all you like - and even lose weight drastically, but you will be almost guaranteed to put it all on again - and then some!

Help Yourself to Overcome Panic Attacks

Many people who suffer from panic attacks would be surprised to hear that this is a relatively common condition. Some people experience panic, or anxiety attacks once or twice during times of stress, while others have a full blown Panic Disorder, experiencing panic attacks a few times a week, or even on a daily basis. A Panic Disorder will be diagnosed if there are at least three panic attacks within a three-week period in reaction to situations that are not life threatening and which are not associated with physical exertion.

Panic attacks can occur at any time of the day or night and are so disturbing that many people have been rushed to emergency medical centers with suspected heart attacks or seizures, only to be told "It's only a panic attack".

Candida is a type of fungus (also called yeast), and is only one of a huge number of micro-organisms that exist in a human body. Normally, in a healthy body, Candida does not cause any problem. However, when the bio-balance is upset by factors such as unhealthy lifestyle, stress, excessive consumption of sugar and refined carbohydrate, chronic use of medications such as anti-biotics, cortisone, the pill, etc, then one finds an overgrowth of Candida in the body.

This can result in toxins being released into the bloodstream and can have many adverse effects on the functioning of the body. The immune system is unable to cope with the continuous release of toxins into the body, leading to dis-ease. Symptoms can include depression, mood swings, sinusitis, headaches, chronic fatigue, joint pain, stomach pain, indigestion, vaginal thrush and other fungal infections, skin rashes and eczema, etc.

Treating Depression and Anxiety the Natural Way

Prescription Anti-Depressants, Tranquillizers and Sleeping Tablets are regularly prescribed by doctors to treat anything from bereavement to postnatal depression. While there are many responsible and caring doctors out there, there are also many who over prescribe. This may sometimes be due to lack of time, lack of adequate training in emotional problems and mood disorders or sometimes just pure indifference towards the patient's problems! Sad, but unfortunately true!

In my opinion, the above drugs should only be used as a very last resort to treat depression, anxiety, or insomnia which is severe and chronic, i.e. when the person's day to day functioning is badly affected and where the problem is not responsive to any other forms of treatment. Many times, however, prescription drugs are the first line of treatment and this often becomes an obstacle in the patient's road to health and empowerment. In the extreme, it can lead to addiction and more problems than the patient started out with.

I have counseled couples who have everything going for them. They have all the money they need and more. They have lovely children. They have beautiful homes, successful careers, supportive families - everything that they need! Yet because of poor communication skills, their marriage is failing. Conversely, I have counseled couples who are going through very hard times. This could be due to financial difficulties, illness, problems with children or even infidelity. Despite the difficulties that they experience, couples who can communicate clearly with each other have a much better chance of overcoming problems and staying together.

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder Strategies - Help With ADHD

Although there is some controversy regarding the diagnosis of ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) as a psychiatric disorder, most children who are 'diagnosed' with ADHD share similar features. What I am going to do in this eBooklet is to briefly discuss those features and their possible causes - and explore various methods of helping your child (and yourself!) to avoid pitfalls and to allow potential to be maximized.

General characteristics of children with ADHD

So first - what are the features that many ADHD children share? Here I am going to speak moreabout my observations of ADHD, rather than what the textbooks say. Every parent will identify with this! Over the years, I have seen many children with ADHD type problems in my practice and, quite frankly, the parents and the children have often taught me more than the textbooks have! Obviously, not all children show exactly the same symptoms and these may or may not apply to your child.

More than 80% of chronic prostatitis patients who took a proprietary formulation of quercetin, a natural dietary supplement, significantly reduced pain and improved their quality of life, according to a new study published in the December issue of Urology. This marks the first time any tested therapy for chronic prostatitis has produced such demonstrative results.

The prostate is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system. The gland is made of two lobes, or regions, enclosed by an outer layer of tissue. As the diagrams show, the prostate is located in front of the rectum and just below the bladder, where urine is stored. The prostate also surrounds the urethra, the canal through which urine passes out of the body.
