Having a risk factor for Chronic Illness makes the chances of getting a condition higher but does not always lead to Chronic Illness. Also, the absence of any risk factors or having a protective factor does not necessarily guard you against getting Chronic Illness.

    Extractions: NewsWithViews.com How much raw foods can accomplish in treating chronic illnesses is well illustrated by the immigrant Russian, Igor Boutenko’s family. Son Sergie age 9 was a heavy consumer of dairy products who had become obese and developed juvenile diabetes with blood sugars ranging from 200 to 400. His mother was encouraged to have him stop the use of dairy products and cooked foods and eat only raw foods. He initially balked but when confronted with the prospect of a life full of insulin injections decided to give the diet a try (high intake of dairy products is known to produce juvenile diabetes). Within two weeks he felt so much better he asked his mother if he could continue the raw food diet. Five months later his blood sugars had returned to normal. He remains in good health at age 20. Father Igor at age 38 had developed hyperthyroidism with white hair, insomnia, fatigue, heart rate of 150 and a progressing arthritis. He was advised to have radioiodine therapy. Igor began the raw food diet and in a few months

    Extractions: S tudying with a disability or chronic illness O ne of the findings of the DSW's (German National Association for Student Affairs) 15th Social Survey showed that 13 % of all students in Germany are either disabled or chronically ill. 2 % of the students are disabled, 11 % are chronically ill. By far the greatest proportion have allergies and respiratory tract illnesses. Besides these, the following illnesses and diseases are responsible for chronic illnesses on the part of students, albeit that these are less widely spread: chronic metabolic disorders, skin diseases, diseases of the internal organs, and psychological disabilities. T his high proportion of disabled and chronically ill students not only underlines the need to give greater consideration than has previously been the case to the circumstances of such students in higher education and the need to adopt appropriate measures to improve the conditions, which, unfortunately, are still inadequate in many areas. U niversity studies will prove to be far less straightforward for chronically ill and disabled students than for their fellow students who do not face serious health problems. For example, the proportion of students who chose to change their degree course (subject) midway is higher. Moreover, disabled or chronically ill students interrupt their studies more often than other students.

    Extractions: By Cynthia Perkins on Mar 31 2004 08:16:11 Managing your illness means to take responsibility for the actions that are necessary for you to cope and live life as optimally as possible within the limits you are faced with. It empowers you to improve the quality of your life, reduces helplessness and hopelessness and promotes self-confidence and self-esteem. There are many steps one can take to manage their illness, and these steps may vary greatly from week to week or from individual to individual. But, there are several essentials that are fundamental to any health care path regardless of your diagnosis. You are what you eat. What you eat has a profound impact on your mental and physical health. Eating a healthy diet is essential for optimal functioning and healing. Depending on your particular illness, this may include incorporating new foods into your diet or eliminating some favorites. At the very least you should be eliminating things such as sugar, caffeine, refined foods and unhealthy fats and replacing these with whole foods such as vegetables, whole grains, nuts and seeds, fruits and fresh or frozen meat and poultry. Preferably your diet should be free of chemicals and toxins found in the average diet such as pesticides, herbicides, additives, dyes and preservatives. Healing can't take place in a body fed with unhealthy foods and neither can maximum functioning. 2. Exercise

You need to understand your condition well enough to take some responsibility for its management. You can and should be involved in decisions about your treatment. Traditionally, the doctor's role has been to diagnose and prescribe, while the patient's role has been to comply with the doctor's orders. This approach may still work for acute problems, but is far less effective in dealing with a chronic disease. Effective management of a chronic disease requires a partnership between you and your doctor.

    Extractions: James Mobb Immune Enhancement, Harare, Zimbabwe We have found that chronic illness patients undergoing therapy, including those with chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, hepatitis, diabetes, coronary diseases, inflammatory bowel diseases, autoimmune diseases, Gulf War illness, HIV/AIDS, among other chronic illnesses, usually have poor diets that hamper effective treatment. Furthermore, we have found that most of these patients have multiple chronic infections that contribute to their morbidity. If such patients refuse to change their dietary habits, they generally do not recover from their conditions, irrespective of the treatments used for their illnesses. Thus we consider that diet is extremely important in the treatment of chronic illnesses, and patients must follow some simple procedures to correct their dysfunctional immune systems and gastrointestinal tracts and restore proper nutrition to their bodies.

    Extractions: 132 Josiah Chinamano Ave., Harare, Zimbabwe General Nutritional Considerations for Chronic Illness Patients Chronic illness patients are often immunosuppressed or have dysfunctional immune systems and are susceptible to opportunistic infections, so proper nutrition is extremely important. Patients should not smoke or drink alcohol or caffeinated products, and should drink as much fresh fluids as possible, such as vegetable juices and pure water. High sugar and high fat foods, such as military (MRE) or other fast foods and acid forming, allergen-prone and system-stressing foods and especially high sugar/fat junk foods should be avoided. Increased intake of fresh vegetables, some low-sugar fruits and grains, and decrease intake of saturated fats are useful. Note that simple or refined sugars can suppress the immune system.

Despite an impressive growth in biological knowledge and biotechnology, health care costs continue to grow, cancer incidence remains high, bacteria continue to develop antibiotic resistance, HIV and other viral illnesses continue to spread, environmental degradation continues, the weather changes erratically, and the wellness quotient of the average world citizen deteriorates. Many believe that the practice of medicine perches on revolutionary threshold as we develop insights into the molecular mechanisms controlling our biological function. The new medicine is fascinated with genetics, molecular biology, manufactured molecular probes and controller molecules. However, our activities alter the environment that sustains us. We spoil our own nest and then pretend that everything is fine. As the new biology gains momentum in research facilities, our biological and social environments deteriorate, bringing us closer to catastrophes that no vials of magic potions will resolve. We live in a civilization that can produce illness faster and on a grander scale than it can ever hope to solve.

Food Allergy in Children Advanced Study Immunology Despite medical advances, more than 150 million people in the USA and Canada are not well and receive little or no help from modern medicine. The least understood illness patterns are ill-defined and chronic. Our theory is that immune responses to food proteins cause some of this suffering and can be corrected with diet revision. We believe that these delayed patterns of food allergy may afflict more than 100 million people in the USA alone. This may seem to be an outrageous assertion, but if you examine the lengthening list of ill-defined and immune-mediated diseases, you have to be interested in this theory. For many years I saw patients who complained of being sick-all-over. They often apologized for having so many symptoms and were grateful when I did not label them "hypochondriacs". The majority of these patients who complied with my instructions improved with diet revision and remained in better health as long as they stayed with a "safe core diet. I developed a standard method of diet revision, now called the Alpha Nutrition Program. Anyone who is sick-all-over can follow this program and, with a little luck and lot of determination, can restore more normal feeling and function.

    Extractions: Learn How to Protect Your Baby We all want our children to be vibrantly healthy and happy. Children will inevitably get sick at times, but some children are dealing with infections on a continual basis. Unfortunately, an increasing number of children are burdened with chronic illnesses or disorders that can make their lives pretty challenging. The current system of conventional health care can be enormously frustrating and lacking in real answers for children diagnosed with asthma, autism, multiple allergies, attention deficit disorder, recurring infections, or other chronic health problems. Visits to the doctor may result in drug prescriptions with which you may not feel comfortable. The medication may keep the symptoms in check, but what you really want is for your child to completely heal and reclaim health and vitality. The holistic approach to health does not reject conventional medicine, but is a sensible, complete form of healing that considers your child’s entire picture of health and uses the best and most appropriate options for healing. It is a process of strengthening every system of the mind-body and allowing your child’s natural healing potential to flourish. Many of the chronic health problems that affect children will respond best when addressed from a holistic point of view. Holistic is defined as pertaining to all aspects of human nature – physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual. To approach health holistically is to consider the mind, emotions, spirit, and entire body when addressing the health of a person, not just the area that is manifesting the symptoms. The underlying foundation and prerequisite for true healing is compassion for the patient, and consideration of all aspects of the patient’s nature, including the family, culture and community. Taking all this into consideration, holistic practitioners choose therapies that are most appropriate for the individual child.

    http://news-service.stanford.edu/news/2005/march16/med-anemia-031605.html
    
    Extractions: BY MITZI BAKER In an article published Thursday in the New England Journal of Medicine, Goodnough details a particular area of concern in the lack of anemia diagnoses: the prevalence and severity of anemia as a side effect of such chronic diseases as rheumatoid arthritis, cardiovascular disease, cancer and diabetes. The paper, which was co-authored with Guenter Weiss, MD, of the Medical University of Innsbruck, grew in part from Goodnough's research on how the inflammation that occurs during these chronic diseases contributes to anemia by interfering with the production of erythropoietin, the hormone that stimulates red blood cell production in the bone marrow. Anemia is also caused by a dietary deficiency of iron, folate or vitamin B12, all of which are needed to produce healthy red blood cells. Iron deficiency is the most common cause of nutritional anemia. In people over the age of 75 the rate of anemia approaches 30 percent. One-third of the cases in the elderly are due to heart, kidney and other chronic inflammatory diseases. It is critical to identify and treat anemia in the elderly, said Goodnough, as it has been shown that there is a direct relationship between anemia and loss of day-to-day functioning in this group. "Once an elderly person becomes progressively more sedentary, it becomes this downward spiral going from independence to dependence," Goodnough said. Small studies have shown that treating anemia can reverse this spiral.
