In a new trial funded through UABs urgent COVID-19 research program, investigators are comparing the widely available steroid methylprednisolone with dexamethasone, which lowered risk of dying by one-third in a U.K. trial this summer.

Early results from the United Kingdom's RECOVERY trial this summer were a welcome piece of good news in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. Critically ill patients on ventilators who received dexamethasone, a corticosteroid drug, were at a one-third lower risk of dying than those who did not receive the drug. Patients receiving oxygen therapy, but not on ventilators, had a 20% lower risk of dying. Nature, the scientific journal, called it a"coronavirus breakthrough."

Better yet, as Nature noted, dexamethasone is both cheap and commonly used. The trouble is, "dexamethasone is already in short supply," said Randy Cron, M.D., Ph.D., professor of pediatrics and medicine at UAB. So Cron and Winn Chatham, M.D., professor of medicine at UAB, are conducting a pilot study of another corticosteroid, methylprednisolone. Outside of COVID-19, oncologists often use dexamethasone to treat hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis, a cytokine storm syndrome seen in patients with blood cancers such as leukemias and lymphomas. Rheumatologists such as Cron treat cytokine storm syndrome (where it is commonly called macrophage activation syndrome) in patients with lupus and rheumatoid arthritis using methylprednisolone.

"Methylprednisolone is more readily available than dexamethasone," Cron said. "The thought is if both are equally effective, then physicians can use what is available to them to treat COVID-19 cytokine storm syndrome." And, "by implication, other glucocorticoids will likely be equally effective at the glucocorticoid equivalent dosing."

UAB urgent research grants against COVID-19

This study is one of10 pilot projectsrecently funded by $402,000 in donations as part of the second round of UAB's urgent, high-impact COVID-19 grant initiative. This follows 14 projects funded in the first round of urgent, high-impact COVID-19 grants.

Cron is a leading expert on cytokine storm syndrome, a potentially life-threatening overreaction by inflammatory immune proteins known as cytokines. (In 2019, he published thefirst textbook on cytokine storm syndrome.) "Cytokines are there to fight off infections and ward off cancers," Cron said. "But when they are out of control, they can make you very ill."

Anyone battling a serious infection, regardless of cause, may experience a cytokine storm, Cron said. In addition to blood cancers and rheumatic diseases, cytokine storm syndrome is seen in herpes virus family member infections, and case reports have noted nearly 100 different infectious agents that can cause cytokine storms. In patients with COVID-19, clinicians increasingly see cytokine storm syndrome as a major factor in poor outcomes. Cytokine storm syndrome develops in a large percentage of COVID-19 patients who are ill enough to require hospitalization, Cron said.

Glucocorticoids, such as dexamethasone and methylprednisolone, are both "used to calm the cytokine storm," Cron said. "They have very broad-ranging effects on the immune system," including decreasing production of pro-inflammatory proteins and "decreasing function of multiple immune cell types."

In a pilot project that was one of10 recently fundedby UAB's urgent, high-impact COVID-19 grant initiative, Cron and Chatham, plan to enroll at least 30 patients hospitalized with COVID-19 pneumonia who have features of cytokine storm syndrome.

The World Health Organization initially recommended against use of glucocorticoids in treating COVID-19 because studies of their effectiveness when used against coronaviruses in SARS and MERS outbreaks had varying results, and glucocorticoids increase the risk of secondary infection in patients. "Nevertheless, out of desperation, many overwhelmed centers have resorted to glucocorticoids in treating COVID-19 cytokine storm syndrome," Cron and Chatham wrote in their project proposal, and early reports "have shown promising results." These drugs' effectiveness at calming cytokine storms means the benefits of short-term use outweigh concerns about secondary infections, Cron said. "They can be tapered over time to keep the cytokine storm syndrome under control while the patient improves clinically and by lab markers of disease," he said.

Patients in the study will be randomized to receive either 6mg daily of dexamethasone or 32mg daily of methylprednisolone. The goal is to reduce the need for invasive mechanical ventilation and ICU care. "We believe methylprednisolone will minimize ICU admissions and enhance survival," wrote Cron and Chatham in their project proposal.

Methylprednisolone and dexamethasone have similar side-effect profiles, "but are often used at different glucocorticoid equivalent dosing" methylprednisolone tends to be used at higher doses "and they have different pharmacokinetics, which has implications for tapering dosing when patients are recovering," Cron said.

Patients will receive the drugs at the doses listed above for seven days or until they show stable improvement in oxygen saturation and lower levels of markers of cytokine storm syndrome, including serum ferritin, D-dimer and C-reactive protein.

Genetic signatures for cytokine storm syndrome in COVID-19?

"Methylprednisolone is more readily available than dexamethasone. The thought is if both are equally effective, then physicians can use what is available to them to treat COVID-19 cytokine storm syndrome. And, by implication, other glucocorticoids will likely be equally effective at the glucocorticoid equivalent dosing."

The researchers also plan to explore genetic risk factors that may be shared by COVID-19 patients who develop cytokine storm syndrome. Cron and colleagues have identified genetic risk factors in other cytokine storm syndromes, including thosetriggered by H1N1 influenza. This earlier work suggests that as much as 15% of the general population carries genetic mutations putting them at higher risk for developing cytokine storm syndrome. Finding such risk factors in COVID-19 patients would allow clinicians to target treatments to patients with the highest potential for success on those therapies.

Cron and Chatham are co-principal investigators on the methylprednisolone study, which also includes Devin Absher, Ph.D., of the HudsonAlpha Institute of Biotechnology, where whole genome-sequencing of patients will be done.

Studying an alternative steroid treatment to calm cytokine storms in COVID-19 - The Mix

A new study overseen by the Oxford Internet Institute (OII) claims that privacy-preserving browsers such as DuckDuckGo return more health misinformation such as anti-vaccine sites than Google.

The study, published in Frontiers in Medicine, analysed the first 30 webpages returned for the search term vaccines autism, to gauge the volume of anti-vax information that came up. It found that alternative search engines (Duckduckgo, Ecosia, Qwant, Swisscows, and Mojeek) and other commercial engines (Bing, Yahoo) returned between 10-53 per cent anti-vaccine pages, while Google returned 0 per cent.

Google has attracted growing criticism in recent years over the vast amount of personal data it hoovers up. This has led to privacy-focused rivals such as DuckDuckGo popping up, which have gained a vocal support base in a short period of time.

DuckDuckGo expressly avoids personalising users search results to negate the filter bubble effect. It collates search results from more than 400 sources, but none from Google. Its website indicates that traffic has continually risen from its inception in 2013 reaching more than 55 million searches in a day this month. However, Google still massively dominates accounting for more than 90 per cent of the search market.

The authors of the study, which was overseen by the OIIs Professor Luciano Floridi and included contributions from research students across Europe, argue that their findings indicate a trade-off between a browsers privacy and information quality. But its not clear whether different approaches to privacy actually explains the differences in the respective browsers search results.

Googles search results are determined by a number of different algorithms that take into account various factors including words of your query, relevance and usability of pages, expertise of sources and your location and settings, according to its site.

Google proactively rates and ranks pages based on quality. In a Google document that provides guidelines to its search quality evaluators, it says that pages that potentially spread hate, cause harm, or misinform or deceive users, should receive the Lowest rating. This can include content such as demonstrably inaccurate content or debunked or unsubstantiated conspiracy theories.

Googles algorithmic tweaks are notorious among websites for resulting in sudden dips in traffic. There have even been allegations that Google maintains a blacklist of both right-wing and left-wing sites, but this has been denied by the company.

The new research was carried out as part of student projects and wasnt explicitly funded, although the OII has received funding from Google for other work this year. In March 2019, Floridi was also appointed to Googles short-lived Advanced Technology External Advisory Council, having previously advised it on the right to be forgotten. In 2015, he was described as the companys in-house philosopher.

The report argues that the greater volume of anti-vax content turned up by other search engines is an indictment of their search algorithms, and that mechanisms should be developed to test search engines from the perspective of information quality [] before they can be deemed trustworthy providers of public health information.

Read next: How did 5G conspiracy theorists become arsonists?

However, this betrays a somewhat twisted understanding of search engines, given that they are not considered trusted providers of information neither legally nor in terms of user expectations. (The raft of illegal and otherwise vile or offensive content hosted on internet search engines, means that if they were liable for the content that appeared on them, theyd all be shut down tomorrow.) The purpose of search engines is to index content on the internet. They perform the role of displaying and, to different degrees, curating, the available content on the web.

The World Health Organisation lists vaccine hesitancy as one of the top 10 threats to global health in 2019. However, its not clear that attempting to expunge or hide anti-vax information from the web would affect these attitudes. Its extremely hard to separate out the effect of online misinformation on behaviour primarily because people come into contact with a range of external stimuli all of which have an incremental effects on their eventual beliefs and actions.

Covid-19 has provided a useful test case for examining this hypothesis, and so far evidence that online misinformation has a serious and widespread effect on health outcomes is not conclusive. For example, a recent study published in the American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene mentioned that online Covid-19 misinformation was linked to thousands of deaths, but the sources it referred to all concerned people in Iran drinking ethanol in the misguided belief that it would cure the virus.

Iran is very different to countries in the west in terms of both its internet ecosystem, which is subject to a high degree of censorship, and health education. A World Health Organisation study published in 2019 found that 46 per cent of Iranian adults had inadequate health literacy. A BBC article notes that the number of deaths in Iran attributed to Covid-19 misinformation is itself uncertain because alcohol is banned in the country and the bootleg moonshine is often contaminated.

Floridis study itself didnt investigate material harms that have resulted primarily because of online misinformation, but it does highlight a couple of examples. It mentions a case in China where a cancer patient died by following an alternative therapy that they discovered online. The report notes that in response, Chinese authorities issued new rules that require search engines to provide objective, fair, and authoritative results appearing somewhat strangely to endorse the countrys censorious approach to the web.

However, most of the scare-mongering about the impact on fake news or misinformation on health behaviours is based on anecdotal and one-off cases, as opposed to rigorous academic research. In fact, a working paper by Ciara M. Greene and Gillian Murphy of Irelands University College Dublin and University College Cork, found that casual exposure to a fake news story was unlikely to have significant effects on future behaviour, concluding that at present, there is no empirical data that supports the assumption that fake news has a grave impact on health.

Greene told the Nieman Lab that the authors suspect that real-world behavioural effects will mostly emerge in contexts where individuals seek out many stories all advocating the same position, and which are congenial to the individuals existing views; anti-vax or climate change denial networks would be a good example of this.

Read next: Does Americas clean network initiative mean the end of the open web?

Indeed, studies indicate that people who hold anti-vaccination beliefs are very likely to be plugged into a conspiratorial worldview that dictates the populace is being lied to by mainstream politicians, institutions and media. A 2016 study (PDF) found that new adoptees are already predisposed to the beliefs through government distrust and general paranoia.

As such, theres not much good evidence that hiding or removing misinformation from the internet actually dampens beliefs. In some cases, removing or demoting this kind of content can even feed into this paranoid worldview, where the individual believes that companies such as Google are colluding with the government to restrict certain information not because its bogus, but because its dangerously true.

Studies have found that those with less education (as well as older and more conservative people) are more likely to share misinformation. But many factors can come into play. A 2015 study published in Plos One, found that educational level and thinking style did not predict vaccination rejection, but psychosocial factors such as preferring alternative medicine and the endorsement of spirituality as a source of knowledge did lead to vaccine-negative attitudes.

The OII study argues that this presents a double jeopardy, in that those who hold anti-authoritarian views and an interest in alternative medicine are more likely to use alternative search providers because of privacy concerns. The report argues that therefore, while the alternative providers might reach a proportionally smaller audience they are reaching an audience that is already more receptive to anti-vaccine information and therefore more vulnerable to its effects.

However, these are also the very people likely to be more predisposed to believe that demoting search results is a result of the information being true. An emphasis on education and digital literacy might equip people to better deal with misinformation, as opposed to demoting search results. Even better, an analysis of why people are prone to mistrust of governments and experts could inform a more successful means of intervention.

Impact Of Covid-19 on Alternative Therapies Market By Top Key Players Helio USA Inc., Herb Pharm, Yoga Tree, Quantum Touch Inc. - The PRNews Pulse

Magnetic seizure therapy (MST) appears to be a viable alternative to electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) in reducing suicide risk in patients with treatment resistant depression (TRD), early research suggests.

In a single-center, open-label study, MST produced complete remission from suicidality in almost half of the patients who received the treatment.

"The results are promising," lead author Cory R. Weissman, MD, Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, University of Toronto, Toronto, Canada, told Medscape Medical News.

"The field needs new ways of approaching suicidality because it's becoming a bigger issue and a major concern, especially now with COVID. These are early but promising results that need to be followed up," Weissman said.

The study was published online August 18 in JAMA Network Open.

MST is similar to electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), which is an effective treatment for suicidality in mood disorders. However, ECT is underutilized fewer than 1% of patients with TRD receive the treatment because of stigma and/or a perceived risk of cognitive adverse effects, he said.

"MST is a focal magnetic pulse that leads to discharge or depolarization within the frontal lobe of the brain with the goal of inducing a seizure. It works quite similarly to ECT, which we know is quite a good anti-suicidal treatment, especially in depression," Weissman explained

However, MST has fewer side effects, particularly on cognition, and less stigma compared to ECT. It also has a different mechanism of action, with a "more focal treatment target in the brain than ECT to induce seizures," Weissman said.

The Toronto group has been studying MST in various mood disorders for several years. As previously reported by Medscape Medical News, MST is effective in reducing suicidal thoughts in treatment-resistant bipolar disorder.

The current study is a post hoc secondary analysis of data from the group's original trial of MST as a treatment for treatment resistant depression in patients initially referred for ECT. The trial ran from February 2012 through June 2019 and with a post-treatment 6-month follow-up.

The secondary analysis was performed from January 2019 to November 2019.

The secondary analysis included 67 patients who underwent MST 2 to 3 times per week until they achieved remission from a depressive episode or until they reached a maximum of 24 sessions. All had baseline suicidality, as defined by a score greater than 0 on the Beck Scale for Suicidal Ideation (Beck SSI).

MST was administered using the MagPro MST device with Twin Coil-XS (MagVenture) applied over the frontal cortex at 100% machine output with low (25 Hz), moderate (50 or 60 Hz), or high (100 Hz) frequency.

"It's very similar to ECT. The actual seizure lasts about a minute or two, and patients recover in about 10 to 15 minutes and they go home afterwards," Weissman said.

The main outcome was remission from suicidality as measured by an end-point score of 0 on the Beck SSI. Of the 67 patients, 32 (47.8%) achieved remission from suicidality.

Low and moderate frequencies appeared to be more effective for suicidality; 16 of 29 patients (55.2%) receiving low frequency MST achieved remission, as did 12 of 22 patients (54.5%) receiving moderate frequency MST. Four of 16 patients (25%) who received high frequency MST achieved remission from suicidality.

Commenting on the findings for Medscape Medical News, Manish K. Jha, MD, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City, said there is an urgent need to develop safe and effective treatment for patients with treatment-resistant depression (TRD).

"The Sequenced Treatment Alternative to Relieve Depression (STAR*D) trial showed that after inadequate improvement with 2 antidepressants, the likelihood of improvement with a third or fourth antidepressanttrial was very low. Therefore, we need effective treatment for TRD," noted Jha, who was not involved in the research.

The current study represents a "valuable contribution, as it shows improvement in suicidal ideation with magnetic seizure therapy," he added.

The study's findings suggest that MST may offer a "viable new treatment" for patients with TRD. He added that the upcoming results of anongoingclinical trial testing MST against ECT are of "great interest to the field."

Although the findings are compelling, Jha also noted the study had several limitations, include a relatively "modest" sample size and no sham or active comparator.

In addition, he said, the level of suicidality in this study was limited because of eligibility restrictions, such as exclusion of individuals who had attempted suicide in the prior 6 months.

"While authors use a broad term of 'suicidality,' their study is focused on suicidal ideation. Future studies that target suicide behavior are urgently needed. This may mean that we need to study individuals with recent suicide attempts in settings such as emergency rooms and inpatient units," said Jha.

The study had no specific funding. Weissman has disclosed no relevant financial relationships. Several other study authors reported relationships with industry. The full list can be found with the original article.

Jha has received contract research grants from Acadia Pharmaceuticals and Janssen Research & Development, and honoraria for CME presentations from North American Center for Continuing Medical Education and Global Medical Education.

Complementary And Alternative Medicine Market Set to Witness Adamant Growth and Forecast 2020-2028 - StartupNG

Ive started listening to podcasts during my morning workouts. One of my favorites has been Michelle Obamas. This week, I tuned in to the second episode, where she shares how shes experiencing a form of low grade depression, which she believes is a result of the pandemic and the racial unrest that continues to exist in this country. Low grade depression. Is that what I had been experiencing earlier in the pandemic? I asked myself. As someone who occasionally struggles with anxiety but doesnt normally experience depression, Ive found the COVID-19 pandemic to be particularly taxing on my mind and spirit, and thats why Ive been making sure to prioritize my mental health.

To say Americans are more stressed and anxious than usual right now would be the biggest understatement of the year. Data shows that were suffering from increased levels of mental distress as a result of the pandemic. Not only is there a paralyzing fear surrounding the virus itself, but many of usmyself includedhave lost our jobs. Some of us have had to move out of our homes or back in with family, and some have even lost loved ones to this terrifying disease. The self-isolation and lack of personal interaction alone are enough to get the perkiest and most hopeful people down. According to a new poll from the Kaiser Family Foundation, more than half of Americans report that the coronavirus pandemic is taking a toll on their mental health. Pretty much everybody I know is struggling with some degree of anxiety or depression right noweven if they havent gotten the virus, lost loved ones, or lost their jobs or homes.

I barely slept the first few months after the stay-at-home order was enacted in New York in late March. Ive never struggled with sleep before. My mother often says I sleep like a rock. But for months I couldnt sleep at all, not even with the help of light-blocking curtains and melatonin gummies. (I wasnt alone; insomnia has become quite common during the pandemic.) It didnt help that I was no longer working with my therapist.

When I lost my job in late March, I also lost my health insurance and, with it, the therapist I had been seeing for more than a year. Fortunately, I qualified for Medicaid, but the process of trying to find a therapist who accepted my new health coverage and was a woman of colorpreferably Latina like myselfwas so taxing that it triggered even more anxiety. So, I paused my search and tried to distract myself with other activities. My roommates and I threw fancy dinner parties for one another. I began to pick up freelance writing jobs while I looked for a full-time position. I read a ton of booksnovels mostly. And I continued to work out every morning, not just to remain in good shape but to help with my mental health.

But then evening would come, Id hit the bed, and my worries would take over. Things got worse when I learned that our landlord wouldnt let me and my two roommates renew our lease (all three of us were unemployed) and I was going to have to move in with my folks. Sometimes I was able to cry myself to sleep. Other times, Id experienced what felt like mini panic attacks.

Then, in May, I got a call from my friend Yaqui Rodriguez, a spiritual practitioner who specializes in reiki therapy and is the founder of Wave of Healing. She told me that she was offering free reiki sessions to people who had lost their jobs as a result of the pandemic and were in need of psychological and spiritual support. Because I have always trusted her intentions and her energy, I said yes. But I had no idea what to expect.

Reiki is a form of energy healing that is believed to have originated in Japan. (The form thats the basis of many U.S.-based Reiki practitioners dates back to the 1920s, though some say different types of Reiki healing date back earlier.) Like other alternative therapies, including acupuncture, its thought to work by improving the bodys energy flow and removing blocks that can lead to pain or distress. Some practitioners place their hands on their patients, while others just lay their palms close to their patients bodies. Even though the treatments are normally done in person, certain practitioners, like Rodriguez, have the ability to do whats referred to as distance reiki, where they send the energy remotely.

Soon after we first spoke, we had our first session via FaceTime. Rodriguez asked me how I was doing, and I let her know that I was overwhelmed with anxiety and worry. We fell into a discussion that felt a lot like the talk therapy I used to do with my therapist. Rodriguez isnt a psychologist or licensed therapist, so she refers to this as coaching. The call eventually progressed into a type of guided meditation. I shared a lot and cried a lot. But by the end, I felt like she helped me let go of fears that may have taken years to address in talk therapy.

The flow of our sessions is never the same. During some calls, Rodriguez asks me to sit with her in silence while she works on my energy. When that happens, I close my eyes and often feel a sense of peace. But Ive also had colors appear in my minds eye. In one of our first sessions I experienced the color green as Rodriguez worked, and she said it meant that growth, safety, and harmony were on the way. Sometimes she can even tell if Im experiencing pain or discomfort in certain areas of my body, like my stomach.

Rodriguez says she feels these imbalances in my energy, even over the phone, and then she works with me to resolve them. Energy work is where we move the misplaced or absorbed energy, she explains. Misplaced energy can have its origin from many different sources, ancestral lineage, childhood trauma, negative thought forms or life experienceslike trauma.

Misplaced energy can have its origin from many different sources, ancestral lineage, childhood trauma, negative thought forms or life experienceslike trauma Yaqui Rodriguez

Some sessions, Rodriguez adds in activities like dance therapy, where shell put on some ambient music and well put our phones down and just dance in our rooms, using movement to process whatever feelings arise. Other times its like shes guiding me on a journey of self-discovery. As we talk, she coaches me to be more introspective, and often leads me to useful conclusions. One thing that came up during our sessions was how Ive often associated my value with my work, and I realized I was struggling to feel worthy while being unemployed. But Rodriguez helped me discover that I have so much to offer the world beyond the scope of my career.

Since our first session, weve been working together every other week and Ive noticed a drastic difference in my mood. Ive been living with my folks for a little over a month and I havent experienced any anxiety or insomnia so far. I find it hard to believe, but Rodriguez is not surprised by my improvements. She says she often does reiki healing for people who struggle with anxiety, and many of them experience a decrease or complete shift in symptoms. Still, she encourages everyone she works with to seek professional help or medical assistance if they need it.

Although Reiki is an alternative therapy, many hospitals are embracing energy healing as a complement to traditional allopathic medicine. And these types of practices are becoming more mainstream, too. According to a 2017 study by Pew Research Center, half of Americans report having tried some form of alternative medicine, like herbal remedies, acupuncture, chiropractic treatment, or energy therapies, at some point in their lives. And these therapies that address whole-body health are not new: Many cultures have healers that work simultaneously on physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual wellness to help individuals and restore wholeness, Rodriguez explains.

Reiki may be replacing my therapist for now, but that doesnt mean Im done with traditional talk therapy for good. If anything, my sessions with Rodriguez have inspired me to look into how I can combine traditional Western medicine with alternative forms of healing moving forward. Even when I do go back to seeing a therapistwhenever that may beI plan to make reiki and guided meditation a part of my life and my regular self-care practice. They dont necessarily have to be competing things. Instead they can work in conjunction to ensure my mind, body, and spirit are all healthy and aligned.

Im Working With a Reiki Healer Instead of a Therapist and Its Doing Wonders for My Mental Health - Well+Good

After a 3-hour Zoom interview with Dr Batra, the comparison seems to hold good on many counts. He is easily the best-known, most commercially successful homoeopath from India. His network, spanning six countries, is managed by a team of 400 doctors across 225 clinics. In FY18, his company reported 225 crore in revenue. Like the actor, Dr Batras full head of hair defies his age69. But it would be strange if it didnt. After all, his company built a fortune mainly on the back of hair- and skin-care treatments.

In person, Dr Batra is all wit and charm. Think of (our business) as papad," he says. Lots of housewives made papad in India. Then Lijjat came and institutionalized it." Thats what he did with homoeopathy in India, he says: We formalized and corporatized it."

The chat took place over two sittings, with an hours break at lunchtime. Considerable time was spent discussing the efficacy of his treatments. For, homoeopathy hasnt found acceptance amongst the scientific community. Some go so far as to describe it as hokum, offering hope when there isnt any. Over the past decade, regulatory bodies in several countries have declared their reservations. France has announced it will stop reimbursing citizens for homoeopathic treatment expenses from 2021, theres a growing demand in the UK to follow suit. In 2015, a landmark Australian study analysing over 1,800 papers on homoeopathy concluded there was no good quality evidence to support the claim that homoeopathy is effective in treating health conditions".

Dr Batra, however, has a ready retort. A lot of these studies are biased and we shouldnt get carried away by them," he says. Homoeopathy does have its limitations, he accepts: There isnt much it can do for a gunshot wound, for example. But in many chronic psychosomatic cases, it plays a very good role."

But then, he adds, hes used to sceptics. Back in the 1980s, when I would go to a party and say I am a doctor, people would say, Oh very good. When I would tell them I am a homoeopath, they would do a namaste and then say their bye-byes and thank yous."

In recent years though, homoeopathy has found greater public acceptance and political backing in India. And after the covid-19 outbreak in January, the Union ministry of Ayush (Ayurveda, Yoga & Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha and Homoeopathy) recommended Arsenicum Album 30 as an immunity booster". In the following weeks, Dr Batras network, like numerous politicians, businessmen and members of civil society, distributed the pills in large numbers. There are no clinical trials proving its efficacy against covid-19, Dr Batra agrees. But if a proper trial is done, he adds, you can give the world scientific evidence on the basis of which homoeopathy works for various diseases".

In a normal world, it would have been possible to meet Dr Batra at his clinic off Chowpatty in Mumbai. Its a small office behind Wilson College, where he set up his first clinic with the first electronic medical software in the world". But concessions have to be made for the pandemic.

So, one afternoon, my laptop lit up to the living room of a 150-year-old Portuguese mansion in Aldona, Goa. Dr Batra was sitting on a wooden chair, wearing a cool blue polo-neck. A vintage dining set formed the backdrop, a chandelier suspended above it.

His family had flown to Goa in March for a break from the city, Dr Batra says, agreeing that its not a bad place to be stuck in. Plus, we have a mango tree, so we get the best local mangoes. They are not Alphonsos but they are fabulous."

Dr Batra retired from active practice five years ago. His son Akshay, also a homoeopath, runs the day-to-day operations now. Dr Batra continues to be the face of the brand but more as the chairman emeritus". Meaning, I give advice when asked. If not asked, I keep my mouth shut." Lately, he has been spending time in charity work, photography and on penning his biography.

The story begins in Lucknow. Dr Batras parents were doctors. His father, a homoeopath, was the principal at a local college and mother, an allopath, worked as the deputy health secretary with the Uttar Pradesh government. My parents were busy people," he says. I experienced how medicine was all-consuming and decided that I wont become a doctor at all."

In the late 1950s, Dr Batras father landed a job as the principal of the Bombay Homoeopathy College in Vile Parle, now known as Smt Chandaben Mohanbhai Patel Homoeopathic Medical College. He was just 7 when they moved to Mumbai. After he finished high school, a trustee from his fathers college offered him a seat at the institution. He told me homoeopathy was growing, it will be good for you.... I thought, some people mortgage their land and jewellery with the ambition that their child would become a doctor. Here, I was getting an invitation." Was there no entrance exam? It was a relatively new college, says Dr Batra. They wanted people from good homes."

He didnt start off as a serious" student. But he soon had a change of heart. During my college days, I had developed 28 warts on my face. I had the annual day coming up and was supposed to go up on stage for an address." At his fathers suggestion, he used homoeopathic medicines.Within two days, he says, the warts fell off. There were no scars. It was magical."

After a bachelors degree in homoeopathy, he got another in psychology from Pune University. His first job was at a charitable hospital in Malabar Hill, at age 23. Within a few years, he had gained a reputation as a hard-working, enterprising doctor. In 1982, he set up his first clinic, at Chowpatty.

The next decade was a blur. Between consulting patients, paying off loans and raising two children with his now ex-wife Nalini, he was heading for a burn-out. In 1996, he decided to turn his general practice into a super-speciality. He hired a market research agency, surveyed his patients and identified 14 segments where his treatments had shown good results. Once he stopped general consultation, his patient load fell from 150 to two a day. He had more time to research and spend on each diagnosis. Two years on, he rebranded Positive Health Clinic" to Dr Batras Positive Health Clinic".

It was around this time that Dr Batras association with hair loss and skincare treatment began. He hadnt planned on it, he says. The Drugs and Cosmetics Act has a list of diseases one cant advertise for. Hair and skin are an open category. So we started advertising." Later, Akshay, who also became president of the The Trichological Society, UK, drove a targeted outreach for Dr Batras hair-related treatments. Today, says Dr Batra, over 45% of their 80,000 patients are seeking treatment for hair loss.

In business, he says, he followed the Raj Kapoor model: If his movie did well, put the money in a new one." Soon, he set up a second clinic in Bengaluru. Once successful, he set up more, hiring and training a fleet of doctors, expanding to more cities and later, countries. It has only been onward and upwards since.

For all his success, Dr Batra hasnt escaped bad press. Quora and Reddit threads are littered with criticism of him, trashing the 96.6% treatment success rate" he advertises. One of the most commented threads reads, How big a scam is Dr Batras?"

It pains me a lot to see it happening," he says. But its usually the unhappy customers talking about it, not the happy ones."

Between 2013-18, the Advertising Standards Council of India, an independent watchdog, pulled up Dr Batras several times for misleading advertisements and exaggerated claims. In 2014, it was for claiming to have won an award for being Indias only trusted brand in homoeopathy". In 2017, it was for advertising cures for diseases in violation of the Drugs and Cosmetics Act and Drugs and Magic Remedies (Objectionable Advertisements) Act. In 2018, for advertising a certain gene-targeted therapy that could predict and prevent diseases 15-20 years before they show up".

Dr Batra is convinced it boils down to competition, jealousies". Beyond a point, you cant argue. Its a quasi (judicial) body, not legal. So should I waste my time in controversies or get on with my life?" Dr Batras, he adds, is governed by the food and drugs administration (FDA) and the Central Council of Homoeopathy. We have had no complaints so far."

Asked about the resistance to homoeopathy in the West, he says: The (British) royal family uses homoeopathy. I can send a list of important people in the world who do too."

Popular isnt necessarily effective, is it?

The way homoeopathy medicine is administered in the West differs from India, says Dr Batra. There are more than 300 double-blinded randomized control trials (RCTs) done on asthma, arthritis, etc," he adds. While Mint couldnt independently confirm this claim, several reviews of RCTs in homoeopathy have questioned the procedural rigour and quality of evidence. Dr Batra does agree that for homoeopathy to be established as a scientific system, many more trials are needed.

Today, people are looking at holistic healing. The side effects of allopathy are making a move.... And we have government support too, which we didnt have for so many years. As these things keep evolving, you will see the benefit more and more. And just like we took yoga to the world, we will take homoeopathy too."

Global Complementary and Alternative Medicine Market 2020-2026 | Industry Applications, Products and Key Players Columbia Nutritional, Herb Pharm,...

When it comes to treating certain conditions or symptoms that we face, its actually incredibly common for people to rely on alternative remedies and therapies instead of blindly taking medicine. There are actually a number of reasons why people do this and its not because people dont trust medicine. In fact, most people are more than willing to take a pill to help them get better, but there comes a point where someone might decide to look for other methods and heres why.

Photo, Annie Spratt.

1. Lots of alternative remedies and therapies might have fewer side effects: Side effects are more common than you might think with medication. Side effects can vary depending on the person and the medication taken but its also important to remember that theres a small chance that you could experience a side effect that nobody has documented. Adverse and unwanted effects can be a huge problem for traditional medicine and the symptoms can range from being a minor nuisance to severely damaging.

For those that want to avoid any kind of side effects or even the possibility of it, alternative remedies and therapies can be more enticing. Of course, its important to remember that some alternative medicines can also come with side effects, so its best to consult your doctor before you take anything.

2. In some cases, there arent other options that are easily available: There are often some conditions, especially life-threatening ones, where treatment isnt readily available or easy to find. It could be prohibitively expensive or it could involve surgery which the patient wants to avoid. In a situation like this, there may be an alternative remedy or therapy that could prove to be more helpful or practical.

While there arent many situations like this where alternative therapies and medicines can be more helpful, its usually something that your doctor will let you know. Theyll likely mention the options you have for treating a specific kind of condition and theyll tell you about the pros and cons of different approaches. In some cases, they might recommend some form of therapy or alternative medicine that could give better results than any scientifically-established method.

3. Some people prefer natural and healing therapies that take a holistic approach: One of the big advantages of alternative remedies and therapies is that they usually take a holistic approach to improve your health. For instance, chronic pain can often be cured by regularly exercising and focusing on the areas that you experience pain. This can help you improve the flexibility of specific joints and muscles which could deal with certain types of pain.

Photo, Sarah Gualtieri.

This holistic approach to wellbeing is extremely popular since it can both protect you from future conditions while also healing your current problems. If you want to focus on improving your whole body health, then these alternative remedies and therapies can be extremely helpful.

4. Alternative remedies are becoming more popular due to their availability: The number of alternative remedies and therapies becoming available these days is extremely varied. More research is going into different types of medication and theyre starting to become widely available in stores and online. For example, CBD gummies are now available online, giving people easy access to cannabidiol products without the need to smoke marijuana. It removes the psychoactive THC compounds which give marijuana its distinct high, leaving just the CBD which is known for its positive health effects.

While alternative remedies and therapies used to be fairly difficult to obtain or experience, were starting to see a greater level of acceptance than ever before. This has opened up the way for many different types of treatment, some of which are even recommended by doctors around the world.

Photo, Christin Hume.

5. The focus on prevention is often appreciated more than reactive medicine: Lastly, its good to remember that alternative remedies and therapies often focus on prevention rather than reacting to your condition. This is seen in the holistic approach that alternative medicine takes to some conditions. Its all about building up your bodys defences and being prepared for a situation where your body suffers a specific condition.

Many people believe that taking preventative measures is the best way to deal with some type of conditions that either doesnt have a cure or lack effective treatment options. This is why compounds such as CBD are becoming incredibly popular for their supposed ability to defend the body against certain types of conditions and also deal with issues like chronic pain.

After college, Renfrow had stints on five NFL teams: the Arizona Cardinals, Seattle Seahawks, San Francisco 49ers and Buffalo Bills. He has been in the CFL since 2017.

Renfrow has been quarantining back home in Philly as the CFL season remains postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The league is currently considering a shortened 2020 season in a bubble environment in Winnipeg, some 200 miles north of the North Dakota border. In his spare time, Renfrow has been working on his clothing brand, JR Football, and building on his partnerships and advocacy through Athletes for Care, an organization of former pro athletes that advocates for healthy lifestyles and alternative medicines, such as using cannabis and CBD for pain relief.

On the protests for social justice . . .

Being in Canada for the last three years, I was surprised to realize how bad the racial problem had been here in the U.S. My mom and I went to the grocery store and Im noticing how rude people are; and its simple things, like someone pushing my mother. Seeing that after being gone so long and my mom telling me that things have gotten worse since I left. I thought she was making more out of the situation than it was, but when I came back I saw what she was sayingit was true.

For me, it has been an eye-opening situation. Im glad protesting led to the arrest of George Floyds killer. I know people need to be out there for George. But Im also very worried about the protesting and the fact that COVID was so bad here in the U.S. Im scared to see whats going to happen and worry there might be a big wave of sickness.

On why its so different in the U.S. . . .

I saw someone say recently that its a learned behavior, that its passed down. Thats definitely trueit is a learned behavior. Youve got this handful of cops that keep doing this, but theres a whole bunch of cops that are good and are doing good. I have close friends that are cops. My mentor in Calgary when I played for Stampeders was a retired New Jersey cop. There are good cops out there. But those handful [of bad cops], they got taught somewhere along the way to act like that. And we talk about it in football how when your peers are the ones that talk to you or discipline you, it means more than anybody else. And then I think about how the other cops, the ones that are supposed to be good, have just sat back and not said anything. I think if the other cops start talking, itll change things a great deal.

On the Athletes for Care initiatives . . .

After playing through the season with some significant injuries and only using CBD creams, instead of painkillers, it was life-changing for me. It helped my body, and it opened me up to a whole other world of medicine and ways to heal my body. I got back into yoga.

That also led to me becoming a spokesperson and using my platform to talk about many different things. I was already a spokesperson for the Boys & Girls Club, Big Brothers Big Sisters, and I feed the homeless once a week. In Calgary, I was also coaching two youth football teams. So I was already used to doing this kind of thing, but this is extending the realm and use of my platform. And I feel its important to use this platform for CBD because of the reason I switched over to it from painkillers: on the way to a football game one day, my body had a full rejection because Id been pumped with too many pills. From then on I started using alternatives and its been going well.

Everyone is going to be done with football someday, and we want to have a body to be able to live forward, and to play with our kids. I was playing on injuries for four months and that really can put you in a great deal of pain. I only just finished recovering. Now Im back running fully and I havent used painkillers.

On working with kids . . .

I try to do it in places where theres not the best area for a kid to grow up. Being able to motivate kids to keep going and to excel and to also tell them to chase their dreams. Thats a big thing that I tell every kid: they can do things. I think thats important to hear.

My parents told me and still encourage me to do all my passions, including volunteering. Ive been able to donate to different organizations during COVID; have been feeding a family for a month. And Im doing that through my clothing line that my parents said, Go ahead and start and do the mission you choose. Im also showing kids by example, which helps them receive the message. A lot of kids reach out to me after the fact and I try to answer as many messages as I can. I think it makes a big difference. I try to impact every community I play in.

On his clothing line . . .

Its inspired by the things I like to wear when Im training and working out, and theres also some loungewear stuff. Every month we have special programs. This month were doing a maska Justin Renfrow maskwhere a dollar from every sale is donated to one of the major Black Lives Matter organizations to try and help protestors. Its always been a dream of mine but it really started because I wanted a way to raise money to be able to help these kids I was working with. This is the third year Ive been doing it but I kind of wish I had started it earlier.

On daily routinesduringthe pandemic . . .

I have the iPad, iPhone and computer pretty much going all day everydayespecially with the company stuff. Im accessing Shopify on one phone, email on another, working on the computer at the same time. I hopped on a Zoom career day in the middle of the day, Im doing FaceTime live interviews, Zoom calls for potential new business, or businesses I want to work with. Everything all the time is technology.

And I still find time to play Xbox with my son.

On his favorite games . . .

I used to be a huge PUBG guy; was playing so many hours and became friends with some of the guys. We still to this day talk on Instagram once in a while and check in with each other. Ill go on and just broadcast and see them play while I play or while Im typing an invoice. I definitely miss the hours to be able to give as much as I used to. COVID brought some time, so I got into Call of Duty: Warzone. But my son and I really bonded over NBA 2K because hes loving basketball and I really am glad hes getting into basketball because I dont want him to play football. Well, Im wishing that secretly.

Seeing him get better at 2K has been really good. It has given us so much time to just bond and has given him a break between doing his school work. Once he goes to bed, I get a little bit of Warzone in. I might have to get into Twitch soon.

On athletes using their platforms . . .

Im seeing a lot of people out protesting. The big thing is: I want to see the people still be there in a couple weeks, or even a month or two from now. I want all this energy to stay there.

Remember when Colin Kaepernick was kneeling and people said, Oh, you monkeys just like to play football? They were saying all that stuff and booing and telling us to stop kneeling. But this is what he was kneeling for! And its what, three or four years later? Thats what I think people need to think of and what athletes need to start conveying. Athletes have these big platforms. Ive been trying to help people understand: When I [was a kid, I would] go to the field to play and it starts being 8 p.m., my mom would call or text me that I need to bring my butt home so the cops dont bother me after dark. She texted me that!

Thats how athletes can use their platform: tell how it really is.

I got pulled over while being black three years ago 10 minutes from my house in Philly. They said I didnt have insurance, but I did have insurance. And while Im calling Geico, theyre standing there with their gunstraps unlooped. Youve got to be careful.

That was something my dad educated me on: how to be with a police officer, saying yes sir, no sir. As a black person, your parents have to educate you. In the fourth grade when kids call you the N-word, you have to get educated. I was getting punched in the genitals and called the N-word as a sixth-grade running back. But that just motivated me; I still ran for three touchdowns that game. You learn from that stuff.

When I was growing up, we moved out of the city to the suburbs and my friends from the city would be like, Oh, you live in the nice houses or Oh, you live in the suburbs. And Id be like, I wish I lived where you guys do! I wouldnt have people calling me the N-word and teachers telling me I wouldnt amount to anything. A lot of times it sucked being the only black kid in the school and a lot of people didnt understand that growing up. But it makes you better for the long run and prepares you for real life.

On his hopes for sports leadership going forward . . .

This isnt a united nation, this is far from it. Everybody isnt treated equally here. When you look at the national anthem, or what it says, its a lie. America is still the same place that the original Declaration of Independence was written for: the white male that owned land. And now its for the white male that has a lot of moneyits still the same damn place. We havent really improved anything from our ancestors in terms of equality; all weve done is advance technology.

Now, youll go introduce the first-round draft pick but you wont go make a live Instagram video denouncing social injustice against black people? You can go on Instagram and in a minute say that same one paragraph you had typed up and posted on IG. You can say that yourself and record it with your camerathats what we need from our sports leaders. It has to actually matter to you; and if it does, you want to express it to people. It mattered during the NFL draft for them to get on TV during COVID. So I ask again: When is the life of an African-American person going to matter enough?

The CFL's Justin Renfrow: Athletes Need to Tell It Like It Really Is - SportTechie

Dr. Antoine J. Al-Achi, professor of Pharmaceutical Sciences, joined the Campbell University family in 1989. He has been teaching botanicals and alternative medicine since 1999. Dr. Al-Achi recently published his third book entitled A Concise Treatise on Natural Remedies,which was published byCambridge Scholars Publishing.

Al-Achi holds a PhD degree from Northeastern University in Biomedical Sciences/Pharmacokinetics. He did his post-doctoral training at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute/Harvard Medical School in Boston, Massachusetts. He has authored three books, several book chapters, and more than 220 other publications, including reviews, posters and presentations. In addition to his teaching responsibilities for various programs, he routinely oversees master level student research projects.

Cambridge Scholars described the new volume as, a means to examining the use of natural remedies in health and disease, blending scientific findings known to operate in the alternative and complementary medicine modalities with those utilized in folklore medicine. It points toward a unified theory that links the development of chronic degenerative diseases with inflammation, and considers how natural health modalities can alter or halt the progression of chronic diseases through their beneficial actions on inflammation.

A Concise Treatise on Natural Remedies blends folklore medicine ideas and scientific findings to present an integrated view of the use of these natural components in health and disease. The book will serve as an educational tool for individuals who desire a thorough understanding of this area of alternative health practices. Al-Achi indicated that, students and healthcare practitioners who desire to enhance their knowledge in this area, may find the information in this book very useful.

As a valued member of the CPHS community, Al-Achi is well respected and admired by students, faculty, and staff alike. He has taught this material at the undergraduate, graduate, and professional levels. He shared that this book was an extension of his previous publication and that his aim was to try to link chronic inflammation to the development of degenerative diseases (such as Alzheimers Disease and Parkinsons Disease) and to present scientific evidence on plants actions in halting the inflammatory process.

The book was officially released on August 1, 2020.

CPHS faculty member expands his publishing career with a new textbook | News - Campbell University News

Fifteen years ago, Yael Elishs daughter, who was then seven, was suffering from a chronic ailment. We saw several doctors and alternative therapists, but nothing worked. It wasnt life-threatening, but every chronic condition is a nightmare for the family and the sick person, she says.

The Elish family is entrepreneurial by nature, and they decided to do something.

For years I scoured the internet every night, because I assumed there must be something that would help her. After about two years of searching, I came across a blog that described the exact same problem we had and explained how it was being treated. After that, I easily found a place in Israel offering the same treatment. We tried it, and after three weeks the problem was resolved. Because its a chronic illness, I cant say she is cured the professional term is remission, like a dormant volcano.

A few years later, Elish came to the aid of a friend whose 5-year-old son was suffering from a chronic illness. Investigating over the internet, Elish discovered treatments that the doctors in Israel werent familiar with. She connected the friend with an overseas doctor who was prepared to work with an Israeli colleague.

That was just before they were going to begin an aggressive treatment and only because the doctor here had hardly ever seen a similar case. I realized that there are good treatments available out there, but for all kinds of reasons they dont reach the patient: Either the doctor doesnt know about the treatment, or youve got the wrong doctor, or the health maintenance organization doesnt provide the treatment. Sometimes it happens that the doctor understands medicine but not surgery, or he doesnt understand alternative medicine, says Elish.

As the former head of product for Waze, the navigation software app that was acquired by Google, Elish had been part of one of the greatest Israeli high-tech success stories. She started thinking about how to use the same crowd wisdom that Waze is built on and how to apply it to chronic illness by helping sufferers find treatments doctors sometimes miss.

She started small. I said, Lets collect the information systematically. I did a kind of test. I went into a chronic illness Facebook group and created a 20-item questionnaire, something very basic in Google format. The questions were: Who are you? What treatments have you tried so far? Was the treatment effective? What were the attacks like before and after?

I started to analyze the information and draw basic conclusions for example: 60% experienced whatever treatment they undertook as successful. I started to release graphs showing the information Id collected. People in my circle said, But what will happen if all kinds of people who dont have a clue contaminate the data so it isnt accurate? But people took the questions very seriously and cooperated.

Even when I lengthened the questionnaire and added new questions, people didnt stop. They answered, and they were also able to answer better than the medical world tends to think. Theres a certain disdain of patients and their stories. Theyre considered anecdotes. But its people who know how to describe their illness best.

From that, Elish created the startup StuffThatWorks two years ago. Its aim is to transform patients anecdotes into a coherent picture of an illness and the treatments that exist for it precise and up-to-date information based on a broad sample.

We've got more newsletters we think you'll find interesting.

Please try again later.

The email address you have provided is already registered.

Elish says there are some 10,000 recognized chronic illnesses and about 500 treatments for each of them, ranging from medications to lifestyle changes to supplements. Most of the research is directed toward the most common illnesses, which number between 20 and 40.

Are you saying the medical profession doesnt monitor the success of a treatment or a medicine?

A great deal of money is invested in pharma, but the pharmaceutical companies conduct most of their clinical studies before the treatment is put on the market. Once its out and you can get whats known as real-world evidence, little research is done. The reason is cost. One patient in a study of that kind costs the pharmaceutical company $10,000 and represents a single case, so large numbers are needed to measure effectiveness. When you get down to the subgroups of an illness and the number of possible treatments, you realize that because of the insane costs, the only way to achieve mapping is by mobilizing people to do it together.

Elish drew on her Waze experience: Waze mapped the world from scratch; as people traveled, they drew a map of the worlds roads. Its classic crowdsourcing take a big problem thats dealt with ponderously today, with plenty of survey companies in the middle and manual data feed and the like, and provide a crowdsourcing-based solution, she says.

Elish founded StuffThatWorks together with Yossi Synett and Ron Held. Synett, a physicist by training, is the companys head of data science; Held, the chief technology officer, is a mathematician with 10 years experience in a secret Israeli army unit. Elish, who has a degree in international relations, is highly respected in the Israeli tech industry. As to the logic behind the startup, Elish notes that 8% of all internet searches are health-related and half of all Facebook groups deal with the topic. But the information is scattered all over the place and its hard to find your way, she says.

Held elaborates: The dialogue on the web is strongly tilted toward the most vociferous writers, those who express their opinion vigorously. Theres also no specific reference to the patients background. Thats the problem the company is trying to address.

Elish, 52, joined Waze in 2008, after her previous startup, eSnips, was sold. Waze was a tiny startup that compromised the founders and five developers. Elish was in charge of user experience and branding. She says: We made decisions that were revolutionary at the time, such as free text searches, in contrast to the usual format that existed then in the world of mapping, of click on city, street, street number. We put an emphasis on the cuteness of the products look and its game quality. That proved to be critical.

The Waze team debated whether a cute product would be perceived as credible. It turned out that it could, and shes now out to replicate that style with STW.

We have a wonderful designer and illustrator, Maya Shleifer, whos illustrated several childrens books and an interface thats pleasing to the eye. Our name, StuffThatWorks, is not right in any branding sense, but it represents people, information that comes from people. Theres some sort of apprehension that if youre not called Med-something or Health-something, and your company logo doesnt have a serpent, youre not serious. But we say the product will be cute and it will be serious.

Until a couple of weeks ago, STW was operating under the radar, but the whispers about it in the tech industry grew loud. In July 2018, the company raised seed capital of $3.5 million from leading VC funds 83North and Bessemer Venture Partners, for which investing in a new startup is unusual. A year later, Ofek Ventures put in another $5 million. On July 23 the site launched worldwide, for now only in English.

The platform has more than 180,000 active users, meaning that they are not only registered but also share information. Another thousand join every day. There are currently 105 chronic illnesses mapped on the platform. We call them research communities, Elish says. Everyone can open a new community and invite people to fill in a questionnaire and share. Once there are 30 active participants in a community, it opens officially. At the moment we have 200 of them in waiting.

Participants write posts about their experiences and add questions. The system informs users about others who have a similar condition, so they can communicate privately. STW utilizes natural language processing to obtain an in-depth understanding of what people are saying. Theres a difference between my head hurts and my head feels like its going to explode, Held explains. A sentence like that can be compared to the way a person expresses himself in general or describes other symptoms. You can find biases in the language, for example, for or against alternative treatments, even detect deceptions, like someone whos there to sell something.

Like every crowd wisdom startup, STW also faces the hurdle of harnessing people for the community before the product adds value, like the first users of Waze, who helped map Israel before Waze could provide navigation. You have to persuade people to invest in the vision, so the user feels its heading to a cool place and says, I want to be part of that, she says. There will always be someone with the vision to get a community off the ground and induce people to respond. We view those people as part of the company.

Held notes that STW employs a wider definition of health than doctors conventionally do: Medicine takes note mainly of clinical indices, so sometimes it will deem you healthy, even though youre depressed, cant bring yourself to leave the house or arent functioning sexually. The cancer didnt recur? Then thats that. With chronic illnesses the most important measure is quality of life, along with the clinical measures.

Sometimes we dont understand what the patient wants to solve. Some of the female patients in a particular group were upset because they put on weight and others, about possible damage to fertility. If an infant suffers from reflux, as far as the doctors are concerned theres no illness as long as the baby is gaining weight; but from the parents viewpoint the child isnt able to sleep and its impossible to go anywhere in the car. Our data respond to a far larger range of patients wishes than the world of traditional medicine.

I can imagine the doctors are saying that what youre doing isnt serious or that its fake news that will adversely affect public health.

Every doctor weve shown it to thinks its great. ... They love us, because they readily admit that this is a blind spot for them. For them, every small research study takes half a year we already have 10 million data points.

The company is only just starting to see success. If you look at depression, Synett says, youll see that the treatment thats ranked 25th in use is in second place in the effectiveness ranking. And that treatment, by the way, was developed for a different psychiatric condition. Apparently a psychiatrist prescribed it for a patient who suffers from both, saw that it helps and started to try it on other patients.

According to Held, there have cases in which STW identified a particular treatment as effective shortly after it came on the market, a year before medical studies began corroborating the evidence. Crowd wisdom can be ahead of research, indicate new treatments as effective relatively early, even help set a direction for future research, he says.

For the users, the information is provided free of charge and will stay that way. Most information on the site can be accessed via Google, without registering. Academic bodies and scientists will also get access to the raw data for free. But the company intends to commercialize the information (in the aggregate and only statistically, to ensure privacy) and sell it to clinics, hospitals, insurers and pharmaceutical companies so they can recommend better treatment and save insurance costs, for example.

When the coronavirus broke out, six STW employees and their families, as well as a few singles, came to live on a farm deep in the Negev desert; other employees would come and go as they pleased, Elish says. We were on cloud nine. In the morning, the children went to the goats and we started to work. ... It was good for the adults, too, without the pressure of having to take the kids to preschool with traffic jams. It was a wild period for the whole company, not only for those who worked from the farm.

STW is thinking about a future between city and desert. Now were thinking seriously about some sort of hybrid model between the center and the desert, and we already have one employee who moved to the region, says Elish. Before the pandemic, we were going to sign for a new office space at five times the cost of the present office in Tel Avivs Old North. That wont happen.

A typical Nepali kitchen cannot operate without ginger. It is used as an essential spice in most of Nepali households. Also in many other parts of the world, ginger rhizomes in any form, be it fresh or dry or pickled or crystalised or powered, are consumed as a spice for adding its pungent cum sweet taste, flavour and strong aroma in any foods and beverages.

Not only used as a prominent spice in many cuisines, but it has also been used as a home remedy. Unani, Chinese, and Ayurvedic medicine systems use ginger for alleviating various ailments like nausea, vomiting, cold and flu, menstrual cramps, digestive problems, and many more for ages.

Ginger consists of an abundance of gingerols, oily phenolic compounds that are proven to have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Various healing properties of ginger are accreditated to the presence of gingerols in it. Ginger aka Zingiber officinale falls on the family Zingiberaceae that also includes spices like turmeric and cardamom.

Ginger offers a plethora of health benefits. Here, lets unfold some of them.

Ginger is believed to treat digestive disorders by stimulating a digestive fire to break down the food we consume and easily assimilate nutrients.In a study report titled Effect of ginger on gastric motility and symptoms of functional dyspepsia, published in 2011, it was concluded that ginger stimulated gastric emptying and antral contractions in patients with functional dyspepsia.

Ginger has been recommended and used for relieving nausea (seasickness) and vomiting since antiquity. This usage of ginger as an antinausea agent is the most common and deep-rooted one.

In a 2018 systematic review that is based on the current evidence on the effect of consumption of ginger in gastrointestinal problems, it was concluded that ginger might be the safest and most effective alternative medicine for alleviating the symptoms of nausea and vomiting during pregnancy.

Also, studies suggest that it might ease postoperative nausea and vomiting, and nausea induced by chemotherapy.

It is viewed that the consumption of ginger may help in reducing the risk of chronic cardiovascular diseases.A 2015 study concluded that ginger may help in reducing the risk of some chronic complications of diabetes by significantly lowering the levels of fasting blood sugar, haemoglobin A1c, apolipoprotein B, apolipoprotein B/apolipoprotein A-I and malondialdehyde in type 2 diabetic patients.

Also, a 2019 review mentioned that ginger has shown cardiovascular protective properties by increasing the level of high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (the good cholesterol), decreasing the levels of total cholesterols, triglyceride and very low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol and LDL concentrations. It is also found in the same review that ginger can reduce the levels of blood lipids and blood pressure, all acting as armour against coronary heart disease.

Ginger has been traditionally used as a home remedy for easing common cold and flu infections by many people.

In a 2013 research study, it was tested whether the fresh ginger has anti-viral activity against the human respiratory syncytial virus in respiratory tract cells. And, this study concluded that fresh ginger showed efficacy against HRSV-induced plague formation in respiratory tract cell lines.

Relieving pain and reducing inflammation is one of the traditional uses of ginger. Several studies have proven that ginger can ease various forms of pains including menstrual pain (dysmenorrhea), pain induced by eccentric exercise, and can combat inflammation.

In a meta-analysis, clinical efficacy and safety of oral ginger treatment in osteoarthritis patients were evaluated, and this study concluded that ginger intake by mouth was effective and safe for the treatment of pain and inflammation induced by osteoarthritis.

Also, a review published in 2017 that studied 16 trails showed compelling evidence for gingers anti-inflammatory properties and potential use as a treatment for a variety of inflammatory diseases that plague industrialized nations.

A 2014 review reported that ginger has anti-cancer properties and these properties of ginger are credited to the presence of an abundance of 6-gingerols in it.

Also, in a pilot trial conducted in 2013, either 2 gram of ginger or a placebo was given to 20 participants who had an increased risk of developing colorectal cancer for 28 days.And, this study suggested that ginger might reduce proliferation in the normal-appearing colorectal epithelium and increase apoptosis and differentiation relative to proliferation. The result of this pilot trial signifies that ginger may help in reducing the risk of developing colorectal cancer.

6 reasons why ginger is not only a spice, but a medicine too - Online Khabar (English)

Brett Favre is no stranger to pain

Jonathan Daniel/Getty

This is Life After Football, an ongoing series that examines how current and former NFL players, coaches and executives are building a legacy beyond the gridiron.

After making an NFL-record 297 consecutive starts over 19 seasons while playing for the Green Bay Packers, New York Jets and Minnesota Vikings, Brett Favre certainly knows the toll that playing professional football can take on the human body. A three-time MVP who went to 11 Pro Bowls, won a Super Bowl in 2006 and was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame, Favre is also well aware of the havoc that treating that pain can wreak.

Two years ago, the 50-year-old toldSports Illustrated he took as many as 14 Vicodin at once during the 1995 season, when he won the first of his three MVP awards, and that he had to make three separate trips to rehabilitation centers during his career to fight off his dependence on painkillers and alcohol. Given his struggles with addiction, the retired quarterback no longer turns to painkillers to deal with the routine aches and pains he still experiences from a life in football.

Thats what compelled Favre decided to start using CBD, the currently booming alternative medicine thats derived from cannabis but contains no THC and vitally for Favre isnt habit-forming.

Brett Favre uses CBD to help him with his aches and pains.

Green Eagle

I had a bad experience with pain meds and was addicted like no one else. I mean, I was about as hooked as you could get, Favre tells InsideHook. I dont want to take anything I can get addicted to and I dont. When the product was presented to me, my first thought was, Well, I dont want to be involved in this. So I tried the product. It works and its non-THC, which is important. Some people probably could care less, but most probably are like me.

Favre, who was impressed enough with the product to partner with nascent brand Green Eagle as a spokesman, now uses CBD on a semi-regular basis, and says he absolutely would have used CBD during his playing days if it was available and allowed by the NFL.

I wish it would have been around way back when, he says. There was a time when there was a product called DMSO. Its banned now, but my first five to eight years, that product was available. It looked like olive oil and you would rub it on. I had numerous sprained ankles in my career, bad sprains, and when youd rub this oil or cream on, there was no doubt it worked. You could feel it. It had a sensation and it reeked. It came out of your pores and breath and just reeked of rotten oysters or something. But Id rub it on, and within 20 or 30 minutes, I was practicing like there was nothing bothering me. I came to find out it was used in horse racing. If a horse was sore, they would rub it on them prior to a race. Theres no doubt there was stuff in it a doctor today would cringe at, thinking a person used that. I wonder what long-term effect thats going to have on me, because something that strong that worked that well cant be good for you. Fast forward to CBD. I hope it gets in the mainstream American lifestyle soon. Not to help me, because my days of playing are over, but for present players. I absolutely would recommend it for general aches and pains.

For Favre, who had been approached about endorsing CBD products in the past, it is important to let people know there are alternatives to dealing with pain in the way that he did.

Im not qualified in a lot of things, but I think this is one where I certainly qualify, as far as giving a testimonial. Theres no doubt, he says. I have no problems talking about my past, because I know Ive helped so many people by raising awareness. It can happen to anyone, and its better to not take something or drink something. Find an alternative. There probably were alternatives in 1992 when I started taking pain pills, but there are certainly way more safe alternatives today. The least likely of people to be addicted to something have become addicted to painkillers, because its just that dangerous and strong.

Favre rolling some Green Eagle on his throwing hand.

Green Eagle

Favre is optimistic the NFL, which has dragged its feet about making non-traditional painkillers legal within the league but did make some concessions within the latest CBA agreement, will be forced to prioritize player health as the league attempts to play its season in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.

More so than any other time in NFL history will the health of the player is being scrutinized, he says. The NFL is very, very reluctant to venture out of their realm of how they think things should be done. I know that firsthand because of the concussions. They do not want to acknowledge that concussions are a problem. You and I both know, like everyone else, concussions are a major problem. But they dont really want to hear anything about treatments or anything like that, which is crazy. Who knows what theyll do with this product, but Im hoping theyll give it a try.

That said, Favre cautions not to expect miracles from Green Eagle or any other CBD product.

There are some days I feel great. Other days, a shoulder may bother me or a calf, just general stuff. It sucks getting old, by the way, he says. Thats when I use it. Its not an everyday thing because I dont need it every day. If youve got a fractured vertebra, this roll-on pain cream is not going to work. But if you have tendonitis in your elbow that flares up from time to time, I absolutely would tell you to use it, and think without a shadow of a doubt it would work on it.

Why NFL Ironman Brett Favre Has Turned to CBD to Ease His Pain - InsideHook

Nausea refers to feelings of queasiness often with the urge to vomit. Symptoms of nausea include sweating, a rush of saliva in the mouth, fatigue, and loss of appetite.

While it's often associated with acid reflux and over-eating, nausea can also occur during pregnancy, with motion sickness, or as a side effect of other medical disorders or common illnesses.

There are many anti-nausea medications that can help with severe or persistent nausea. But if your nausea is mild or occasional, there are also a number of effective home remedies that can help relieve your symptoms naturally.

Ginger is an effective remedy for nausea, says Daniel Devine, MD, internal medicine doctor and geriatrician at Devine Concierge Medicine, a primary care practice in Philadelphia.

That's because ginger has anti-inflammatory properties, which can support digestion, and its compounds are also thought to speed up the process of stomach contents moving into the small intestine, which can reduce symptoms of nausea.

A 2014 analysis of six different studies published in the Journal of the American Board of Family Medicine examining the use of ginger in pregnancy found that taking about one gram of ginger once a day for at least five days decreased symptoms of nausea and vomiting in early pregnancy. Studies have also found that ginger can be effective in managing nausea and vomiting symptoms for chemotherapy patients.

Ginger can be taken as a supplement, sold as capsules. You can also add pieces of whole, fresh ginger to your tea, or include it as a spice or seasoning in your food.

Peppermint has long been regarded as a traditional remedy for nausea, though the scientific evidence on its efficacy is not as robust as it is for ginger, Devine says. Still, many people swear by its calming properties.

The main ingredient in peppermint, menthol, is thought to relax the stomach, which can alleviate cramping and nausea.

One small study from 2014 published in the Journal of Perianesthesia Nursing suggested that even the scent of peppermint oil can alleviate nausea, but more research is needed to determine whether it is an effective remedy.

However, if you experience both nausea and vomiting, peppermint may not be very effective, since it is primarily used to treat nausea and not episodes of vomiting.

If you want to give peppermint a try, you can buy it as a tea or diffuse peppermint essential oil for aromatherapy by adding two to three drops of peppermint oil to a diffuser filled with water.

Eating too much can cause nausea, Devine says. That's because when you eat too much, it stretches the stomach, resulting in bloating, heartburn, and excessive digestive movement all of which can lead to nausea.

Eating small, frequent meals and consuming a bland diet without strong flavors can be helpful in reducing episodes of nausea, Devine says. Bland foods are easy to digest and can help settle your stomach.

Bland foods that can help with nausea include:

If you're feeling queasy, you should avoid spicy food and acidic beverages like soda, juice, or alcohol all of which can exacerbate nausea symptoms. You may even want to consider trying the BRAT diet when you feel nauseous.

It may be hard to eat or drink anything when you have nausea including water. But according to Devine, dehydration will only make your nausea worse.

This can be especially important if you're experiencing nausea as a result of extreme heat or humidity. In fact, nausea and vomiting are some of the main symptoms of heat exhaustion and heatstroke.

Overheating causes your blood vessels to dilate as your body tries to cool itself down and this change in blood pressure can manifest as nausea or dizziness. But if you drink lots of water and stay hydrated, it will help you cool down and return to a normal body temperature.

If drinking water is a challenge for you with nausea, you should take small sips throughout the day or try a soothing beverage like warm peppermint tea.

For more information, read about how much water you should be drinking each day to stay hydrated.

When you feel queasy, you might be tempted to lay down, but this actually isn't the best idea. Lying flat while nauseous could lead to vomiting, Devine says.

"It is important to use gravity to your advantage and keep your head inclined above your stomach," Devine says.

By staying upright, gravity helps keep your stomach contents down. Sitting down in an upright position or lying down with your head propped up on a couple pillows is the best choice if you're hoping to relieve nausea.

Acupressure is an alternative medicine practice of applying pressure to certain points on the body, known as meridians. The idea is that by putting pressure on these places, you send a message to the body to turn on its self-healing mechanisms, which may alleviate pain or nausea.

A 2006 review of more than 40 trials published in the journal Autonomic Neuroscience found that acupressure can reduce some symptoms of nausea.

One of the main pressure points for nausea is called the Pericardium 6, or Neiguan, located near your wrist. This pressure point is thought to alleviate nausea because the meridian pathway of this point travels up the arm, into the chest and upper abdomen, near the stomach.

Here's how to locate P6 and use this pressure point:

If nausea is associated with frequent episodes of vomiting, chest pain, or comes with dark stools or dark vomit, you should reach out to your doctor, Devine says. And if nausea persists for more than a couple days, or if the symptoms are quickly worsening, that could also be a sign that something more serious is going on.

For example, conditions like pancreatitis, bowel obstructions, or even a heart attack can cause nausea and will require medical attention.

Some people are also more prone to nausea due to certain conditions. These include:

Nausea can feel uncomfortable, but it is generally very manageable with the right approach. If you can't get rid of nausea with these natural home remedies, check in with your doctor, who can work with you to develop a treatment plan.
