People Who Snore Loudly at Risk of Heart Disease

hassel — Sat, 12 Mar 2011 00:53:43 +0000

People who snore loudly, have difficulty falling asleep, or often wake up feeling tired may also be at increased risk of developing heart disease and other health problems say researchers at the University of Pittsburgh.

They asked more than 800 people between the ages of 45 and 74 about the quality of their sleep. Three years later, the people who reported snoring loudly were more than twice as likely to have metabolic syndrome — a cluster of risk factors for heart disease, diabetes, and stroke that includes high blood pressure, high blood sugar, low “good” cholesterol, high triglycerides, and excess belly fat.

Overall, 14 percent of the study participants developed metabolic syndrome. African Americans were more susceptible than whites, as were sedentary people.

The findings, which appear in the journal Sleep is said to be the first study to follow people with sleep problems over time to see if they develop metabolic syndrome.

Virend Somers, M.D., a professor of medicine at the Mayo Clinic, in Rochester, Minnesota, says that sleep deprivation is an “epidemic” that is “almost in parallel” with the obesity epidemic and the widespread rise of risk factors for heart disease and diabetes.

Hormoz Ashtyani, M.D., medical director of the Institute for Sleep-Wake Disorders at Hackensack University Medical Center, in New Jersey, says that doctors should begin asking patients about their sleep quality in order to gauge their risk for heart disease and diabetes.

Gerson Therapy – Tape 4_clip4.flv

hassel — Sun, 09 Jan 2011 21:59:22 +0000

Gerson Therapy – a new “old” way to fight human diseases including terminal ones. This method relies on the detoxification by naturally grown food, lowering fat and meat consumption to strengthen and improve the individual’s immune system – the only way to cure and prevent development and spreading a human targeting diseases into the body systems. That’s the only way to improve the one’s quality of life too.

Australian man with an unbearable genetic disease, Erythropoietic Protoporphyria (EPP)

Adrian was diagnosed with the genetic disease Erythropoietic Protoporphyria (EPP) when he was 5. Exposure to light causes him excruciating pain. He has absolute light intolerance.

EPP is characterised by the accumulation of toxic compounds in the body of patients. Exposing an EPP patients skin to light, particularly blue light, causes excruciating pain: intense burning, stinging heat. Adrian describes EPP as similar to having badly sunburnt skin scrubbed with a wire brush. Swelling and blistering can also form after extended time exposure. Even artificial lights, such as those in supermarkets and laptop screens can cause acute pain.

EPP is a lifelong disorder presenting in early childhood. The onset of the disease is traumatic for both children and parents.

Sun avoidance is the mainstay of treatment for EPP: patients are often forced to remain indoors, severely affecting their quality of life. Eventually a nocturnal existence is the only way of life for many porphyria patients.

Currently, there is no proven effective treatment or prevention method for EPP.

★★★ Narcolepsy ★★★

hassel — Mon, 05 Jul 2010 16:33:07 +0000

-Narcolepsy is a chronic sleep disorder (a dyssomnia) characterized by overwhelming drowsiness and sudden attacks of sleep. The condition is most characterized by excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS), in which a person experiences extreme tiredness and possibly falls asleep during inappropriate times, such as at work or school. A narcoleptic will most probably experience disturbed nocturnal sleep, which is often confused with insomnia, and disorder of REM or rapid eye movement sleep.
Cataplexy, a sudden muscular weakness brought on by strong emotions, is a medical condition which may also affect narcoleptics. Often manifesting as muscular weaknesses ranging from a barely perceptible slackening of the facial muscles to the dropping of the jaw or head, weakness at the knees, or a total collapse. Usually only speech is slurred, vision is impaired (double vision, inability to focus), but hearing and awareness remain normal. In some rare cases, an individual’s body becomes paralyzed and muscles will become stiff.
The term narcolepsy derives from the French word narcolepsie created by the French physician Jean-Baptiste-Édouard Gélineau by combining the Greek narke numbness, stupor and lepsis attack, seizure.

Clinuvel, improving quality of life. Photodynamic Therapy (PDT)

hassel — Fri, 04 Jun 2010 16:17:12 +0000

SCENESSE® (afamelanotide) holds promise as a preventative pharmaceutical treatment, improving quality of life for patients with advanced stage bile duct cancer, who are eligible to undergo Photodynamic Therapy (PDT).

Clinuvel is committed to caring for patients who do not receive medical attention for light and UV related diseases. We believe strongly in prevention and we are aware of the importance of quality of life.

In 1993 the US NCI provided the seed funding to research a molecule for the prevention of skin cancer. Clinuvel spent 9 years to commercially develop this molecule into a viable preventative product to treat severe light and UV related skin disorders.

Through study of preventative applications we have uncovered afamelanotide’s potential as a treatment for cancer patients undergoing PDT.

In PDT, similar phototoxic reactions are observed in patients, as the skin reactions seen in Erythropoietic Protoporphyria (EPP). EPP is one of the foci of Clinuvel Pharmaceuticals.
