Many gastroenterologists refer to microscopic colitis as a nuisance disease with a benign course. Some doctors seem to confuse it with IBS and they try to treat it as though it were IBS. For many patients though, the disease proves to be debilitating and life-altering, and the treatment options offered by ones doctor may not provide effective relief. Because there is a lot of truth in the observation that microscopic colitis can only be truly understood by someone who actually has the disease, one can learn vital information from others who have discovered ways to live with it, and control it, without a need for medications, in many cases.This book covers the history of the disease and how it is diagnosed, all of the commonly-prescribed treatment methods, and some of the most successful treatment methods that are generally unknown in the mainstream medical community. It discusses current research that shows promise for the development of future treatments, and it includes the authors theory of how inflammatory bowel disease and autoimmune disease actually develops, supported by numerous medical research articles.Though there are no easy solutions, patients can definitely can get their life back if they are willing to learn more about the disease, and use that knowledge to fine tune their treatment program. This book is a common sense guide for understanding, controlling, and living with microscopic colitis, and it provides insight into ways to help avoid the development of additional autoimmune diseases.

This is a description of how I used a new brain-enhancing supplement to gain additional stroke recovery improvements after my normal recovery had stopped. The details of my stroke and the series of neurological events that led up to it are discussed. The book describes my recovery, and how I managed to make additional recovery progress after my normal recovery seemed to plateau, by using a unique new supplement thats not advertised for this purpose.Ive found that when I stop taking the supplement, my balance, coordination, memory, and other abilities revert back to where they were before I started taking the supplement, so I continue to take it today.Theres also information on silent strokes and mini-strokes, and my personal experiences and insight regarding them. Medical references to validate certain facts are listed wherever theyre appropriate. The material also offers my insight and opinion on how to maximize recovery. Theres a brief discussion of post-stroke depression, and how depression can interfere with normal stroke recovery. My thoughts on how to prevent post-stroke depression from interfering with your recovery are included.

This book uses medical research to show you exactly why you need to keep your vitamin D level within an ideal range to prevent autoimmune diseases from getting past your immune system. You can use the information in this book to stop autoimmune diseases before they can get started. Hint: It's not the vitamin D level that your doctor recommends.Researchers are discovering more and more evidence that vitamin D deficiency is associated with virtually all of the most serious disease risks that we face today. Recently, compelling evidence has been found that the current epidemic of autoimmune diseases is also associated with vitamin D deficiency. Furthermore, researchers have shown that while the official published guidelines for vitamin D are adequate for preventing rickets, higher vitamin D levels are associated with a significantly reduced risk of developing many other diseases. This book describes the details of how autoimmune disease can develop by exploiting certain features of our immune system. And it explores the role that vitamin D plays in assisting our immune system in preventing the genetic alterations that can lead to autoimmune disease, cancer, and other life-altering issues. The information in this book can be used to learn more about how our immune system relies on vitamin D to function properly and to help safeguard our future health, and to assist in determining an optimum vitamin D level to meet our own personal needs.

Even though magnesium deficiency is associated with every known disease, and many authorities believe that approximately 80 % of the population is magnesium deficient, doctors traditionally never measure magnesium reserves in their patients to determine if they are adequate. Instead, they check serum levels, which are carefully regulated by the body in a relatively narrow range. The body keeps the blood level of magnesium constant, because magnesium is a vital electrolyte which helps to regulate vital functions such as heart rate, blood pressure, body temperature, breathing, and other important processes. So testing the serum level is a good idea for someone in the Emergency Room, But everywhere else, it's a pointless test because it provides no indication of whether your magnesium reserves are adequate to keep your body performing properly for a week, or whether you might run dangerously low in a few hours.Ever wonder where all the medical issues come from as you get older? They come from a weakened immune sustem caused by low magnesium reserves, year after year. decade after decade. This book describes the reasons for the problem, backed up by plenty of published medical research. And it offers guidelines so that you can begin to manage your magnesium levels properly, to insure that you can live a long and healthy life.
