What causes nausea and how can you avoid/treat it at home? You feel nauseous when your stomach either stops contracting or... Ever wonder why you feel so uneasy while driving across a rough, bumpy road? How does nervousness lead to nausea? Patients with nausea make up 6.7% of all cases treated...

Today was an exceptionally bright day. At least the morning. The rest of the day was marred by Kate throwing up on me nonstop. She felt a strong sensation of nausea and dizziness. But why does she eat at that weird Mexican place when she knows it makes her stomach sick? Every time she goes there, she feels a gut-wrenching, stomach-turning urge to release all that her belly holds. I mean, the stomach is an elastic bag made of muscular walls containing acid. We read that in science once. But why does Kate's stomach hold a serious grudge against Mexican food?

This study, small pilot, showed that they were able to lower inflammation in those suffering from RA, through high dose vitamin C IV therapy. This study stopped at 25 gms. The vitamin C is a scavenger of ROS and ROS stimulates inflammation through NF-kappaB. This is how vitamin C can reduce inflammation.

Exercise is not only safe in pregnancy, it is good for the pregnancy and the baby. This idea that pregnancy is a disease or a condition has got to stop; science continues to prove that is not the case.

higher cholesterol levels associated with a decreased dementia risk in the elderly population.  Stop the press!!  Yes, basic physiology tells us this. The brain loves cholesterol, cholesterol is needed. The question is: what will be the impact of "neurodegenerative diseases" by the overzealous use of statins?

This study looked at a small number of men with low T.  Therapy was abruptly stopped and the effects were followed.  Insulin function declined.  There was a trend to increased glucose and IL-6.

Study of 209 men > 65 on Testosterone therapy was stopped early due to increase cardiovascular adverse events  The likely reason was the amazingly high dosing.  The men in this study were just doped.  The dosing was 100 mg + which is in stark contrast to the 5-10 mg daily production of a young man at 22.

study that found Testosterone therapy increased cardiovascular side effects was stopped due to massive, massive overdosing.

Dr Jennifer Martinick describes how hair loss causes a feeling of isloation, depression and poor self esteem. People are so deeply depressed about their hair loss that they stop socialising and taking part in any activities that will put them in the spotlight.

Again, Testosterone and here Estradiol are merely there for libido and sex.  What tunnel vision?!  What about hsCRP?  What about fibrinogen?  What about IL-1beta?  What about TNF-alpha?  These inflammatory cytokines have all been reported to elevate as a result of estrogen production in men.   And PSA?  No mention of it here.   This linear, tunnel vision thinking on hormones has got to stop! The study points out that all clients were using AIs and SERMs irregardless of whether they had elevated estrogens or not.  That is not a well designed study.  One group should have had AI's if elevated estrogens were present and another group should not--this would compare the effects of aromatase activity.  Second, this was simply a retrospective chart review.  Third, a 50% conversion of 34,000 + men is very high when you look at the literature.  Fourth, they point to gynecomastia as a means of negative?  The cardiovascular implications are more significant.  These studies just seem to focus on superficial things.  Fifth, did libido problems exist before?  What were the free levels?   This falls in the paucity of data (2 studies) that point to excessive lowering of estradiol effecting libido and sexual performance.
