Why Natural Pest Control #39;s Better: Biodefense
When you see a bug in your home, the first thing you #39;ll typically do is grab a can of the bug spray and call the pest control company to come and spray your home. However, the chemicals used in these sprays can be damaging to your family and pets health. A growing body of evidence links pesticides to neurological disorders such as ADHD, Parkinson #39;s disease, multiple sclerosis (MS), epilepsy, Alzheimer #39;s and progressive diseases like cancer. Because Pesticide use is so common, many people think it must be safe to use, however this is not the case. Even after the spray dries, the chemicals do not break down, leaving the chemicals around your home and in the air. This causes your family and pets to inhale the chemicals in the air, ingest them and absorb them through your skin when you come in contact with these chemicals. Many companies will even claim their products are organic because they come from chrysanthemum flowers, but these are neurotoxic POISONS that cause serious health problems. Even an EPA registration of a pesticide does not mean that it is safe. In fact, many pesticides with EPA registration are categorized as "Toxin, known carcinogen, mutagen, reproductive toxin, developmental toxin, immune system toxin, and endocrine disruptor". And for those with children: Using pesticides in the home is linked to: -Learning disabilities, with pesticides effecting a children #39;s overall development causing them to be diagnosed with diseases such as ADD and ADHD at an ...

Multiple Sclerosis and Sleep | Symptoms Affecting Sleep
http://www.sleepresourcecenter.org - Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a disorder in which the body #39;s immune system attacks and destroys myelin, a membrane that covers axons in the brain and spinal cord. Myelin serves both to protect axons and to speed the conduction of electrical impulses along nerve fibers. The destruction of myelin results in scarring and loss of nerve cells and can lead to a whole host of symptoms for MS patients, including paralysis, depression, loss of memory, fatigue and problems with vision, balance, bladder and bowel control. However, because it is a disease that progresses slowly, MS can be very mild for some patients and many people with MS are able to lead full and active lives. According to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke at the National Institutes of Health, MS is more common in women than men and is more than twice as likely to affect whites as other races. Also, the prevalence of MS among people in the more northerly climate zone is five times higher than for people in the tropics. The cause of MS is unknown but environmental, viral and genetic causes may play a role. MS is not fatal or contagious, although severe symptoms may lead to a shortened or decreased quality of life for some people. Fatigue, one of the most common symptoms of MS, can be profoundly disabling. The cause of fatigue in MS is not well understood but some researchers believe that the degree of fatigue felt by MS patients is an indication of how far along ...From:SleepResourceCenterViews:0 0ratingsTime:01:02More inEducation

Health Check: Woman with MS prepares for ‘Commitment Day’ – Video

Health Check: Woman with MS prepares for #39;Commitment Day #39;
Kelli Merritt takes great pride in being a massage therapist at Life Time Fitness. It #39;s a job she #39;s had for six years, providing comfort for anyone who needs it. "It #39;s very gratifying to be able to give that to people," Merritt said. She chose the career at the urging of her mother, who had breast cancer. "And the only thing that seemed to help her was giving her massages and massaging her head," Merritt said. "So she asked me to go back to massage school, and I did." However, earlier this year, Merritt began experiencing health problems of her own. "I was having trouble walking. I lost function on my right side, muscle-wise. By the time I ended up in the ER, I wasn #39;t able to lift my right leg off the bed," she said. Doctors diagnosed her with multiple sclerosis. "Each day is a new learning experience. It #39;s a new fight," she said. A fight that #39;s limited her mobility, but not her determination. Every week, Merritt works with personal trainer Dan Larson to prepare for "Commitment Day" mdash; a 5K run/walk that starts at the Metrodome on New Year #39;s Day. "With Kelli it #39;s just been great kind of seeing her progress," Larson said. "And with Commitment Day coming up, that #39;s gonna be a huge part of it. And that will kind of be like the culmination to kind of kick off the new year and just to keep the pace moving forward, and then keep her progress moving in the direction that it has been." One of Merritt #39;s biggest supporters is her co--worker, Mollie Juntunen, who acts as both a ...From:twelvedottvViews:83 1ratingsTime:02:16More inNews Politics
