What are Probiotics? 2008-04-05 05:03:20 Probiotics
are live microbial organisms that are naturally present in the digestive tract and vagina.Probiotics are considered beneficial and are sometimes referred to as "friendly" bacteria. Some of the ways they are thought to promote health include suppressing the growth of potentially harmful bacteria, improving immune function, enhancing the protective barrier of the digestive tract, and helping to produce vitamin K.There are over 400 species of microorganisms in the human digestive tract, including Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium.A number of medical, diet, and lifestyle factors are believed to disturb the balance in the colon. This imbalance is called dysbiosis. Factors include:Inadequate dietary fiber Oral antibiotic therapy Infant formula feeding Ingestion of environmental toxin
What are yeasts? 2008-04-05 04:43:50 Yeast are unicellular fungi. The precise classification is a field that uses the characteristics of the cell, ascospore and colony. Physiological characteristics are also used to identify species. One of the more well known characteristics is the ability to ferment sugars for the production of ethanol. Budding yeasts are true fungi of the phylum Ascomycetes, class Saccharomycetes (also called Hemiascomycetes). The true yeasts are separated into one main order Saccharomycetales.Yeasts are characterized by a wide dispersion of natural habitats. Common on plant leaves and flowers, soil and salt water. Yeasts are also found on the skin surfaces and in the intestinal tracts of warm-blooded animals, where they may live symbiotically or as parasites. The common "yeast infection" is typically Cand

Dr Whiting on Systemic Candida and Yeast Infections 2008-04-02 02:04:21 There is probably more misinformation about yeast infections and candida albicans than almost any health topic. Yeast
diets, candida diets, along with special herbal formulas for combating yeast and candida infections abound. Yet after 30 years in the nutrition field, we have found very few of these to be effective.Research shows that women, following yeast diets and candida diets, obtain some relief from their symptoms, yet as soon as they go off the restricted diet, their yeast infection and candida symptoms return almost immediately. The only substance ever shown to actually destroy the candida and yeast organism on contact is oxygen. Oral oxygen has proven to be very effective in eliminating yeast infections and candida. Candida diets do not eliminate candida or yeast.Candida diets hel Read more:Infections
Nail fungal infection (onychomycosis) 2008-04-02 02:03:25 A fungal infection
of the nail (onychomycosis) occurs when fungi infect oneor more of your nails. Onychomycosis usually begins as a white or yellow spot under the tip of your fingernail or toenail. As the fungal infection spreads deeper into your nail, it may cause your nail to discolor, thicken and develop crumbling edges - an unsightly and potentially painful problem.Nail fungal infections account for about half of all nail disorders. They usually develop on nails continually exposed to warm, moist environments, such as sweaty shoes or shower floors. The infection isn't the same as athlete's foot, which primarily affects the skin of the feet.Nail fungal infections may be difficult to treat, and they may recur. But medications are available to help clear up a nail fungal infection permane
Athlete's foot - (tinea pedis) 2008-04-02 02:03:25 Athlete's foot (tinea pedis) is a common persistent infection of the foot caused by a microscopic fungus that lives on dead tissue of the hair, toenails, and outer skin layers (dermatophyte). These fungi thrive in warm, moist environments such as shoes, stockings, and the floors of public showers, locker rooms, and swimming pools.Athlete's foot is transmitted through contact with a cut or abrasion on the bottom (plantar surface) of the foot. In rare cases, the fungus is transmitted from infected animals to humans.Athlete's foot is a common fungal infection in developed countries, affecting many people at some time in their lives. The condition easily spreads in public places such as communal showers, locker rooms and fitness centers.more information: Athlete's foot

Oral thrush - infection of yeast fungus, Candida albicans 2008-04-02 02:03:25 Oral thrush is an infection
of yeast fungus, Candida albicans, in the mucous membranes of the mouth. Like most healthy people, you probably have small amounts of the fungus Candida albicans in your mouth and digestive tract and on your skin.You can't see the fungus and normally won't know it's there - Candida usually doesn't cause problems because normal bacteria (flora) in your body keep its growth in check. But when this balance is disturbed - by medications, stress or illness - Candida can grow out of control, leading to problems such as diaper rash, vaginal yeast infections and a mouth infection called oral thrush. Oral thrush causes creamy white lesions, usually on your tongue or inner cheeks. The lesions can be painful and may bleed slightly when you scrape them or brush your teeth.

Candida Yeast Protection Program 2008-03-31 11:34:04 In Part I of the Candida YeastProtectionProgram
we covered the symptoms of yeast overgrowth that afflict close to 80 million Americans each year.This month we outline a five-phase treatment program designed to free the body of Candida and prevent future recurrences. Phase I deals with starving Candida through dietary modification.Foods to avoid and foods to eat freely will be discussed in detail. Phase II deals with killing Candida with fatty acids, herbal concentrates and antifungal drugs. Phase III involves counteracting the toxic reactions to dying yeast cells with fluids, fiber, activated charcoal, digestive aids and nutritional supplements. Phase IV involves reinoculating the bioculture of the bowel, and Phase V is a list of recommendations for lifestyle changes to prevent future re
Fungus Sheds Light on Development of Human Genders 2008-03-31 11:25:37 (HealthDay News) -- One of the oldest known types of fungus seems to contain clues to gender development in humans.Duke University researchers report on the unusual linkage in the Jan. 10 issue of Nature.In research with Phycomyces blakesleeanus, the Duke team isolated two versions of a gene that regulates mating. They named these versions sexM (sex minus) and sexP (sex plus). Both encode for a single protein called a high mobility group (HMG)-domain protein that leads to sex differentiation through an unknown process.This protein is similar to the one encoded by the human Y chromosome, called SRY. When SRY is turned on, a developing fetus develops male characteristics.The similarity suggests HMG-domain proteins may mark the evolutionary beginnings of sex determination in fungi and humans, Read more:Fungus

Soaking Potatoes Before Frying Cuts Suspected Carcinogen 2008-03-06 21:57:07 (HealthDay News) -- Soaking potatoes in water before frying cuts down on the formation of the suspected carcinogen acrylamide, says a a new, British study.Acrylamide is created when starch-rich foods are cooked at high temperatures, such as frying, baking, grilling or roasting, according to background information in the study. Some research has suggested that acrylamide, which is found in a wide range of foods, may be harmful to health and may cause cancer in animals.In this study, researchers found that simply soaking potatoes before frying can significantly reduce the formation of acrylamide and any health risks it may pose.The researchers tried three different approaches. They washed raw French fries, soaked them for 30 minutes, and soaked them for two hours. This reduced acrylamide lev Read more:Frying
Vaccine Protects Monkeys from Ebola, Marburg Viruses 2008-02-28 04:09:49 (HealthDay News) -- An experimental combination vaccine that uses so-called virus-like particles (VLPs) fully protected monkeys against the deadly Ebola and Marburg viruses, U.S. researchers say.Ebola and Marburg are viral hemorrhagic fevers, the only two known members of the filovirus family of viruses, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. These often fatal infections have triggered highly publicized outbreaks in Africa over the past few decades."VLPs are one of the most promising candidates for protecting humans against Ebola and Marburg virus infections," and could be safer than other vaccine candidates, researcher Dr. Kelly Warfield, of the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases, said in a prepared statement.Traditional vaccines against Read more:Monkeys

Obesity Raises Cancer Risk 2008-02-16 00:52:21 (HealthDay News) -- The more weight you carry on your body, the greater your odds of developing cancer, British researchers report.This is true not only of fairly common cancers such as colon and breast, but also of lesser known varieties, including gallbladder. Moreover, the degree of risk differs between men and women and among different ethnic groups, report the authors of a comprehensive new paper appearing in this week's issue of The Lancet."This is a profoundly important issue. Obviously, the obesity epidemic is a huge problem itself, and the relationship to cancer is only one of the many adverse health effects of being overweight and obese," said Dr. Michael Thun, head of epidemiological research at the American Cancer
Society. "The evidence has been accumulating now for over 10 yea
Muscle Fatigue Drug May Fight Heart Failure 2008-02-13 07:43:37 (HealthDay News) -- An experimental drug may help fatigued athletes and patients weakened by heart failure regain their energy, say physiologists at Columbia University Medical Center.Tests on mice and humans found that, after extreme exercise regimens, tiny leaks of calcium continuously enter the muscle cells, according to the study published online in the Feb. 11 issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The leak weakens the force produced by the muscle and also turns on a protein-digesting enzyme that damages the muscle fibers, leading to the overall feeling of exhaustion for days or weeks afterward.This same leak was previously discovered by Columbia researchers in the muscles of animals with heart failure.The researchers then developed an experimental drug to plug Read more:Heart

Birth Problems Linked to Teenage Fathers 2008-02-08 01:54:08 (HealthDay News) -- In a finding that seems to turn conventional wisdom on its head, researchers report that babies of teenage fathers are more likely to be born with health problems than babies born to men over 40."We found that being a teenage father was associated with an increased risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes, including preterm birth, low birth weight and neonatal deaths," said Dr. Shi Wu Wen, an associate professor at the University of Ottawa Department of Epidemiology & Community Medicine.In the study, Wen's team used data from the National Center for Health Statistics to collect information on 2,614,966 births in the United States between 1995 and 2000. To isolate the effects of the teen fathers' age on the outcome of pregnancy, the researchers compensated for the mother's Read more:Fathers

Health Tip: Understanding an Aneurysm 2008-01-30 22:05:08 (Health
Day News) - An aneurysm occurs when a weakened portion of a blood vessel balloons or widens abnormally. There may be a throbbing or swelling sensation at the site, or no obvious symptoms.The expanded portion of the vessel could be at risk of bursting, making immediate evaluation and treatment essential.Here is additional information about aneurysms, courtesy of the U.S. National Library of Medicine:Aneurysms most frequently occur in or near the heart, brain, legs and intestines. It's unclear exactly what causes most aneurysms, but cholesterol buildup in the arteries is thought to play a role. High blood pressure also may contribute to aneurysms. If the blood vessel ruptures, low blood pressure, high heart rate and lightheadedness may result. The likelihood of death after a rupture i Read more:Understanding
Health Tip: Coping With Urinary Incontinence 2008-01-28 08:19:11 (Health
Day News) - Urinary incontinence affects millions of women, commonly after childbirth.The National Women's Health Information Center lists these non-surgical options to help control urinary incontinence:Perform Kegel exercises designed to make your pelvic muscles stronger. Set a schedule for emptying your bladder, instead of waiting until you have to go. Slowly increase the amount of time between trips to the bathroom. Maintain a healthy body weight, as excess weight can strain the bladder and surrounding muscles. Limit or avoid beverages that contain caffeine or alcohol. Biofeedback may help you learn to better control the bladder and surrounding muscles. Prescription medication may help control some types of incontinence.

New Proteins That Help HIV Grow Identified 2008-01-15 22:21:28 (HealthDay News) -- Harvard researchers have identified almost 300 human proteins that help HIV propagate, creating hope for new treatments to combat the virus that causes AIDS.Using a technique called RNA interference to screen thousands of genes, the team identified 273 human proteins, according to the study published online Jan. 10 in Science Express. These proteins could provide a way to help people with HIV when the virus develops resistance to current antiviral drugs."Antiviral drugs are currently doing a good job of keeping people alive, but these therapeutics all suffer from the same problem, which is that you can get resistance, so we decided to take a different approach centered on the human proteins exploited by the virus.

Fighting a Fungus That Thrives on Tomatoes 2008-05-10 07:28:16 (HealthDay News) -- A molecular-based approach to helping tomatoes fight a fungus that causes wilt has been identified by Dutch scientists.In agriculture, there's an ongoing battle against the ability of plant pathogens to co-evolve along with their host plant's immune system, according to background information in the study. One way to increase protection is through disease resistance genes that strengthen a plant's immune system.In this study, the researchers looked at tomatoes and the fungal pathogen Fusarium oxysporum, which causes fusarium wilt disease.The University of Amsterdam team found that a suppressor protein secreted by some strains of the fungus enables it to overcome two of the tomato plant's disease resistance genes. However, a third resistance gene specifically targets the Read more:Fighting
