ADHD: Gifted and Creative
Tess April 30th, 2007
I was in India in 1993 to help manage a community for orphans and blind children on behalf of a German charity. During the monsoon season, the week of the big Hyderabad earthquake, I took an all-day train ride almost all the way across the subcontinent (from Bombay through Hyderabad to Rajamundri) to visit an obscure town near the Bay of Bengal. In the train compartment with me were several Indian businessmen and a physician, and we had plenty of time to talk as the countryside flew by from sunrise to sunset.

What causes airborne allergies, hayfever and allergic rhinitis?

Many of these particles are filtered and removed by the nose and respiratory system, while others enter the body. If the Immune System is strong and healthy, it can ward off infection against pollutants, viruses and other harmful airborne substances that may enter the body.

A case for and against natural hormone for hypothyroid
Tess April 26th, 2007
Thyroid hormone is used either to replicate the function of a thyroid that is not functioning properly or to prevent further growth of thyroid tissue. These therapies are called replacement therapy and suppression therapy respectively.
Thyroid treatment for hormone replacement is required in cases where the thyroid does not produce enough hormones for healthy functioning of the body organs. This condition is known as hypothyroidism. In such cases the goal of thyroid medications is to replace hormones and this can be in shape of either synthetic hormone pills or natural hormones.
