Q. some one told me, so i get conscious cause I take a bath every night. I just want to confirm if what he said is true?
ok genuis, im waiting for your answers.

A. Tell your mate that they're full of shit.
They probably just don't want to have a bath everynight because they don't have the same regard for personal hygiene and comfort that you do.
I love taking baths - it feels so good after a long day.
Anaemia is caused by poor Iron levels in your blood.
It can be caused by hormonal changes, notably an excess of the hormones, such as Prolactin, that causes women's breasts to grow and lactate (but this can be a symptom too... It can cause lumps, which should always be attended to as soon as possible and the excess hormones can also be caused by stress, which can also be a symptom, so it's a tough one...) and certain vitamin deficiencies, notably B vitamins.
Unless it is due to hormones, it is usually linked to diet and is predominantly found in women as they need extra Iron for menstruating and the fact that there are more vegatarian and vegan women than men.
Not enough Spinach...
Bet Popeye wasn't anaemic, but Olive Oil certainly looked like she was.
I wouldn't've wanted to ask Popeye to share his spinach with me, though... He'd probably of...
Anyway.
Anaemia is NOT caused by relaxing and washing in a bath every night.
If you *are* worried about it, you can alter your diet or take the Vitamin B and Iron complex available from most health food shops to top you up. (Though that's never a good substitute for a poor diet)
So now you can keep enjoying your bathing without worrying that you are going to become anaemic and relax into the pleasure of taking a bath.
And have the pleasure of telling your friend that they are very, very wrong.
Genius.

56 year old man unable to lift up left leg. Also has Type Two Diabetes which is under control.?
Q. Unable to lift leg independently but can do so using his hands to lift it up. One doctor diagnosed it as "muscle Dystrophy" or said it might have something to do with degenerating nerves.
Any help on the diagnosis and remedy would be very much appreciated.
Any help on the diagnosis and remedy would be very much appreciated.
A. Muscle weakness has been associated with a vitamin D deficiency. Nerve degeneration is associated with a vitamin B12 deficiency.
"Researchers found that 40% of type 2 diabetes patients using metformin had vitamin B12 deficiency or were in the low-normal range for the essential vitamin. And 77% of metformin users with vitamin B12 deficiency also had peripheral neuropathy, a common form of nerve damage associated with type 2 diabetes."
"Peripheral neuropathy is a type of nerve damage most often characterized by pain, tingling, and numbness in the hands and feet."
"Because peripheral neuropathy is such a major complication of diabetes, researchers say the results suggest that people using metformin be screened for vitamin B12 deficiency or supplemented with vitamin B12. Also, anyone already diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy who uses metformin should be screened for vitamin B12 deficiency."
I used 30,000 mcg (30mg) per day methylcobalamin for ten days, then 10,000 mcg (10mg) per day. It took a couple of months, but all symptoms of peripheral neuropathy are gone.
"Poor muscle strength and weakness may be associated with vitamin D deficiency, which is common among elderly people".

What causes cramps all over in a man 65, hands,chest, stomock, legs? good health, no medicine, light work?
Q.
A. Provided there are no neurological or neurodegenerative causes such as multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, stroke, or spinal cord injury - extra calcium is usually the solution for muscle spasms or muscle cramps in many nocturnal cases. The extra requirements for calcium may be a result of high protein or phosphate levels (kidney disease, poor diet), hormonal diseases or imbalances, nutritional imbalances
(high Mg/Ca ratio, low pantothenic acid), celiac disease or other intestinal conditions that interfere with calcium absorption, prescribed medications that promote calcium loss, random self-supplementation of the wrong vitamins and minerals,
Consuming foods or beverages containing lactic acid is another acidifying strategy to reduce muscle cramps when working out, despite the buildup of lactic acid in muscle tissue during strenuous exercise being actually a common cause of muscle spasms or cramps. This happens from insufficient oxygen not being able to oxidize lactic acid, which would otherwise get rid of it from muscle. Inosine and
creatin supplements also help to reduce the buildup of lactic acid in muscle.
Vitamin E might be a good choice for its blood-thinning and
vasodilating properties. Gingko biloba also provides a blood-thinning effect and may be considered.
Sodium and/or potassium imbalances tend to become more of a problem during, or after physical activity, but less so during rest, so for exercise-induced leg cramps or muscle spasms, their addition in the form of a sports drink, or through extra Sodium / Potassium supplementation in tablet form may be a consideration. However, sufficient hydration (taking in enough fluid) is equally important before,during, and after a workout!
Since low calcium and/or low magnesium-induced muscle spasms or cramps go hand in hand with
disturbances of bone mineral metabolism, it may be worthwhile to consult a medical practitioner and be evaluated for other possible medical problems such as osteopenia or osteoporosis, whereby additional supplements such as Vitamin D, or other dietary adjustments may be indicated.
Those suffering from leg cramps that are due to insufficient potassium intake should be aware of - or at least use their symptoms as a warning sign - that ongoing low potassium levels increase the risk for cardiovascular disease and/or stroke.
Acute muscle spasms in the back are oftentimes triggered as a result of injuries, but chronic attacks
can also result from curvature of the spine (scoliosis), age-related degenerative disk disease, and/or
spinal alignment problems. Osteopathic / chiropractic adjustments, physiotherapy, muscle relaxants,
needle acupuncture, needle-less electro-acupuncture or electro therapy are common treatment options, depending on the type of medical system one is most comfortable with.
Nutritional imbalances, i.e. abnormal Mineral Ratios are also capable of affecting spinal alignment, or they can even lead to scoliosis over time (and subsequent muscle cramps and spasms), in which case drug therapy or frequent visits to a chiropractor, physiotherapist, or acupuncturist can become
frustrating, since the therapy won't last. However, once a nutritional balance is re-established, the spine
is less likely to go out of alignment and trigger muscle spasms, cramps, and/or other health problems.
There are some known medical conditions associated with myoclonus, including brain or spinal cord injury, Parkinson's disease, Tourette syndrome, multiple sclerosis, stroke, epilepsy, drug or chemical poisoning, organ damage, and others, however "sleep starts" is considered to be a type of 'Periodic Limb Movement Disorder' that as of yet lacks a specific medical cause or has a known relationship to a specific medical condition common cause of persistent muscle ache and cramps is mineral deficiency and/or dehydration. Minerals that may be deficient include potassium, sodium (as found in common salt), chlorine (as found in common salt), magnesium or calcium. Of course, over-exercise (or unaccustomed exercise) is a common cause of transient muscle pain and cramping.

what are the symptoms to osteoporosis?
Q. my doctor has also given me a blood test for a vitiman d defishensy so if at all possible I would like to know if this would be related to the symptoms for osteoporosis. Or would that be something totally another direction of health care?
A. Osteoporosis is a thinning of the bone density, and usually occurs in women around menopause age, but can also affect men. The insidious thing about this disease, is that it doesn't usually have symptoms in the beginning, and is generally not diagnosed until a bone density test is taken, which will show a thinning of the bones, making them vulnerable to fracture. Generally it affects the spine, hip and wrist bones. When the spine is involved, it can cause minute fractures, that are not felt, but results in the stooped posture and lack of height that older women experience.
Calcium intake is the common treatment for osteo, either with pills or dietary intake. However, the body does not absorb calcium very well unless it is taken with vitamin D. That's probably why your doctor is testing you for vitamin D deficiency. Along with calcium supplements, doctors also stress a diet rich in calcium, such as that found in dairy products, salmon, broccoli and other foods. There are other pills that are prescribed, such as Actonel and Fosamax, and you've probably seen ads for those on TV. Micalcin or its generic equivalent, Fortical are nasal sprays that are absorbed directly into the bloodstream and bypass the digestive acids that render a lot of pills ineffective. Your doctor will no doubt prescribe treatment for your osteo when he or she gets your vitamin D levels in your blood.
Exercise is also essential for building strong bones, especially weight-bearing exercise, such as running or walking. Therefore, it's essential to stay active.
You may be wondering how I know so much about it. I am also being treated for osteoporosis discovered at my first bone scan. I was treated for two years with calcitonin, the ingredient in the nose spray I told you about, and when I had the second test, my bone density had increased seven points, which is considered excellent. People with stomach trouble like me, cannot tolerate Fosamax or Actonel. So I use the spray, take calcium with vit. D and magnesium, eat lots of dairy, and keep as active as possible. Good luck! Follow your doc's instructions and walk tall for a long time to come.
