TRAVEL SICKNESS

Travel sickness is a problem that many of us have had to cope with especially if we have children. Children are quite often sick in the car, or in the boat, or in the plane, or any time that they are subject to motion.
When children get travel sickness or motion sickness there are quite a few things you can do and one of the most important is to keep them busy and occupied. Word games are a good idea as they have to keep looking out of the window and so they are not looking at things within the car. Reading while driving is not a good idea as it can upset their balance and cause them to be sick. Encourage them to look at the scenery and point out things as they are going along. Most effective is to put the sick child in the front seat.
Don't let them eat greasy foods and fill them up with foods that are going to make them nauseous. What you should be looking at is to give the children wholesome foods the night before and a small breakfast before travelling as it is very import­ant that they do have something to eat and drink.
One of the things that I have used successfully is ginger. Ginger is often used in cooking, but to take ginger before you go on the trip and during the trip, can really make a difference in the prevention of motion sickness. It does not have the harsh side effects of some antihistamines and other travel-sickness medica­tions. Ginger is gentle to the stomach, helps with flatulence, and also helps the digestive system.

TOO MANY MALE HORMONES

TAKING ESTROGEN

With the onset of menopause, many women suffer from hot flashes and night sweats. Arlene March, 56, a Los Angeles psychotherapist, says she started getting hot flashes 5 years ago. “I’d be working,” she recalls, “and suddenly feel intense heat all over my body. I’d break out in a sweat. I’d have to stop work. Then Dr. Mishell prescribed estrogen pills, and I’ve not had a day of discomfort.”
Some women experience a drying and thinning of vaginal tissues in the absence of estrogen, making sex painful. They also might suffer urinary tract infections and incontinence. Estrogen therapy often helps.
Among the physicians consulted, the most cautious was Dr. Morris Notelovitz, founder of the nation’s first Menopause Center, at the University of Florida, and head of the Women’s Medical and Diagnostic Center in Gainesville, Florida. He says each symptom needs a different treatment and advises that genital tract problems be given estrogen treatment for a couple of years at most. He also urges special measurements of the bones before prescribing estrogen therapy for osteoporosis.

ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION SYMPTOMS

Most patients have a combination of two or more of these problems. They are usually first given a thorough medical history and examination to determine the extent of the prob­lem and to hopefully pinpoint a cause. I want to briefly outline the nature of these four symptoms so that your problem will make more sense to you as a patient if you are experiencing any of them.

PRESCRIBED DRUGS

Taking prescribed medications with most vitamins is safe as is taking herbal complexes that are available through health food stores. However, you should always check with your doctor, your pharmacist or your naturopath. They are all trained to know what can go with what.

Weight loss

Overweight is most commonly a result of overeating and lack of exercise. Overweight and fluid retention often go together with people who have glandular problems or under-active thyroids. In such cases an iodine and phosporous deficiency may be the cause.
