Wondering About Symptoms You Can't Explain?
For many
people, the side effects from the drugs you are taking are not a serious
problem. Introducing another chemical into your body is not part of the
body's original composition and the body has ways of getting rid of
things it doesn't like or reacting to things it can't get rid of.
This may cause unusual symptoms that can be very frightening. This
article attempts to explain some of these interactions and what you
should be doing if this is happening to you.

want to add must be in "sync" with its needs. Chemicals can easily enter
your body via the mouth, nose, ears, skin, and eyes, even your
hair shaft. But they are still entering your body.

Disease ...Why?

Why Do
We Have To Be Healthy?
I received this unusual question a while ago and though
it might make an interested in this thought-provoking idea as well as
being an interesting article. Why should we be healthy? What
is the opposite or alternative? The word “health” encompasses several
parts of your being: physical, mental, social. Lives change, and
so does your thinking when you face illness with a close family member.
Suddenly you realize they have “become” sick. That’s an action word: not
just a thing. And this is happening, right now and you wish you could
stop it. But you don’t have any idea where to start. Our medical
community is still not inclined to teach prevention as opposed to
treatment.
Hormones and How
They Work Within the Human Body
Hormones are chemical messengers. Most go directly into your
bloodstream. Their job is to regulate your body’s activities and its
chemistry: hence the messenger role term. It is important to remember
that all of these hormones work in unison and interact. Nothing in your
body works in isolation.
