To Test or Not to Test: Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Encephalopathy/Chronic Fatique Syndrome

by Aurametrix

A number of medical conditions is associated with altered body odor. Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Encephalopathy/Chronic Fatique Syndrome may be one of them. Hydrogen Sulfide Urine Test was developed and is available for at-home use. Most people, however, prefer to use their nose instead, pointing that I also note that Prof. Kenny de Meirleir's work on testing was not published in a Peer Reviewed Journal.

And what abut Candida overgrowth that usually is not associated with excess hydrogen sulfide?

Biomed diagnostics offers inexpensive tests for Candida species.
Their InTrayTM ColorexTM Screen also detects E.coli, Proteus mirabilis, Enterococcus sp., Klebsiella pneumnaiae, Staphylococcus aureus bacteria
and Dermatophytes fungi.

Many tests are available for urinary tract infections and various metabolites in urine.

Fun Ways to Learn about Food & Foodborne diseases

Mirrored from Aurametrix

Let me introduce E.coli (on the left) and Salmonella (on the right), pictured by GaintMicrobes company.

You can get acquainted with these guys even closer if you (or the food manufacturer) do not follow the safety rules.

You can learn more about it and from these fun games, some of which were presented at the 5th annual Games for Change Festival. and mentioned in the Mission to Learn blog.

Browser-based, Free Learning Games

Safe Food Park

Hey, hop on! The Food Safety Mobile is about to take a ride through SAFE FOOD PARK. Learn about invisible enemies that are always ready so strike If you are not careful when handling and preparing food it could make you and your family sick

Food Detectives Fight BAC

“The Food Detectives Fight BAC!® game gives kids a fun way to learn about foodborne illness. More and more, foodborne illness is making news headlines. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), foodborne illnesses in the United States affect millions of people and cause thousands of deaths every year. The CDC says 300,000 people are hospitalized every year.” From New Mexico State University.

The Incredible Adventures of the Amazing Food Detectives

“There has been a mysterious outbreak of unhealthy habits hitting too many boys and girls. If we don’t solve these cases, and fast, kids might not make the right food and exercise choices as they grow, and that could be trouble! All junior food detectives will get secret training on how to eat right and exercise. You can investigate fun games like Whack A Snack, Soccer, and Zap the TV. Plus you can print out classified clues on ways to be healthy, then share them with your parents, teachers, and pals.” From Kaiser Permanente. Teacher resources available.

Desktop/Free Learning Games

All of the following are free, though in most instances donations are encouraged.

Food Force
“As team rookie you have six missions to complete. Each mission represents a part of the process of delivering food aid to an area in crisis. The final mission shows you how food aid can help people rebuild their lives in the years following a disaster.” United Nations World Food Programme. Multiple languages. Teacher resources available.

Fatworld
“FATWORLD is a video game about the politics of nutrition. It explores the relationships between obesity, nutrition, and socioeconomics in the contemporary U.S. The game’s goal is not to tell people what to eat or how to exercise, but to demonstrate the complex, interwoven relationships between nutrition and factors like budgets, the physical world, subsidies, and regulations. Existing approaches to nutrition advocacy fail to communicate the aggregate effect of everyday health practices. It’s one thing to explain that daily exercise and nutrition are important, but people, young and old, have a very hard time wrapping their heads around outcomes five, 10, 50 years away.”

Immune Attack
This game teaches immunology in a fun and engaging way that is different from the traditional classroom setting. For example, you can train monocytes to transmigrate out of the blood vessel network and pass into the connective tissue, train the macrophage to follow the chemical trail of C3as leading to the site of infection (the Pseudomonas bacteria), activate receptors to recognize enemies and watch the macrophage eat them.

Scoliosis

Mirrored from Aurametrix

According to the National Scoliosis Foundation, scoliosis, a condition that causes an abnormal curvature of the spine, affects approximately 3% of the U.S. population, which roughly equals 6 million people.

Scoliosis impacts infants, adolescents, and adults of all races and socio-economic status. The primary age of onset for scoliosis is 10-15 years old, occurring equally among both genders. However, females are eight times more likely to progress to a curve magnitude that requires treatment.

Scoliosis can impact the quality of life with limited activity, pain, reduced respiratory function, or diminished self-esteem.

The vast majority of people with this condition (if they are still growing and the severity of spinal curvature is less than 25 degrees) are not expected to require treatment. Observation is also the preferred option for moderate curvature (less than 40 to 45 degrees) in people who have finished growing. In some cases, the observed curve is temporary, resulting from inflammation, muscle spasms or having one leg that is longer than the other. Patients who are diagnosed with scoliosis, however, should be examined regularly, about every four to six months, to make sure that the curvature hasn’t worsened.

Exercise can reduce the symptoms. Significant curve reduction due to specialized strength training was reported by a spine clinic in San Diego. A study from the University of Athens on aerobic training for patients with idiopathic scoliosis showed that the ability to perform perform aerobic work increased 48.1% in the training group, while it decreased 9.2% in the control group.

New treatments are also emerging. The SpineCorporation LTD, developer of the SpineCor brace for adolescent Scoliosis, recently released the first Dynamic Flexible Adult Scoliosis Brace (shown on the left).

Scoliosis is closely linked to low bone densities, yet we know that bone densities are influenced by a wide variety of overlapping factors that includes genes, estrogen levels, nutrition, exercise levels and drugs. We still do not know who will get it, why they get it, which will progress, or how far they will progress. In animal studies, scoliosis is known to be caused by a wide variety of conditions including lack of physical activity, pesticide exposure and nutritional deficiencies. Some of these are the same conditions, especially the lack of exercise and nutritional deficiencies, that are known to lower bone densities in humans.

Scoliosis has been induced in a variety of animals through the creation of nutritional deficits and imbalances.

Scoliosis is a multifactorial disorder, which requires multidisciplinary research and treatment.

Microbes we live with


Mirrored from Aurametrix

Just a few hours after birth, every human being is colonized by more microbes than there are cells in the body. We are home to thousands of species of bacteria, protists, algae, fungi, molds and viruses.

Some of these microbes help us to develop blood vessels in the gut, digest our food and train our immune system. Others make us sick, contributing to skin diseases, body odor, malabsorption, gastrointestinal problems, ear infections and more. Some of such bacteria can be even found in bottled water.

The composition and distribution of microbial populations depend on the age, diet, fitness, genetics, hygiene, and overall state of health of their hosts.

Dr. Bonnie Bassler, of Princeton University, gives an estimate of how many bacteria live on us in her Ted talk, at the 2009 TED Conference. Number of human cells in the average adult = 1 trillion. Number of bacteria cells in association with the average adult = 10 trillion. Even more intriguing, is the number of genes that humans have is about 30,000. How many different bacteria genes are associated with us? 300,000! So, are we human or are we bacteria?

Aurametrix has one the most complete databases of species found on human body and in human food.
