Parkinson ’ s Patients Get More Mobility And Better Balance With Whole Body Vibration Therapy
I’ve always believed that with a little coaxing, your body can self-heal – and the same is true for your brain.
Conventional doctors will never tell you this. For them, being a physician means managing symptoms with Big Pharma meds.
But for years, I’ve been helping patients recover using dietary changes, lasers, stem cells, and hyperbaric oxygen (HBOT). These therapies help your body heal itself.
No Big Pharma drug can do this.
But I recently began researching another natural therapy – called Whole Body Vibration, or WBV – that can help Parkinson’s patients regain their mobility and balance.
WBV isn’t new. It...

Extreme Heat Is Endangering America ’ s Workers —And Its Economy

7 A.M.: COPELAND FARMS—ROCHELLE, GA
Just after dawn on a recent July day in Rochelle, Ga., Silvia Moreno Ayala steps into a pair of sturdy work pants, slips on a long-sleeved shirt, and slathers her face and hands with sunscreen. She drapes a flowered scarf over her wide-brimmed hat to protect her neck and back from the punishing rays of the sun. There isn’t much she can do about the humidity, however. Morning is supposed to be the coolest part of the day, but sweat is already pooling in her rubber boots.

How COVID-19 Changes the Heart —Even After the Virus Is Gone
While COVID-19’s effects on the lungs and respiratory system are well known, there is growing research suggesting that the virus is also affecting the heart, with potentially lasting effects.
In a presentation at the annual meeting of the Biophysical Society, an international biophysics scientific group, Dr. Andrew Marks, chair of the department of physiology at Columbia University, and his colleagues reported on changes in the heart tissue of COVID-19 patients who had died from the disease, some of whom also had a history of heart conditions. The team conducted autopsy analyses and found a range of abnormalities, pa...

Africa: Dormant Shingles Virus in Your Neurons Can Increase Risk of Stroke - New Research Identified a Potential Culprit
[The Conversation Africa] Over 90% of the world population has the virus that causes chickenpox lying dormant in their nervous system. Most people contract the varicella zoster virus, or VZV, when they get chickenpox as children. For around a third of these people, this same virus will reactivate years later and cause shingles, also called herpes zoster.

What It ’s Like to Live With Stiff Person Syndrome
twIn an emotional social-media video posted Dec. 8, singer Celine Dion informed fans that she has been diagnosed with a rare neurological disease called stiff person syndrome. A diagnosis wasn’t easy or straightforward. “I’ve been dealing with problems with my health for a long time…we now know this is what’s been causing all of the spasms that I’ve been having,” said Dion, who is 54.
Here’s what to know about the condition and what it feels like.
What is stiff person syndrome?
According to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, stiff person syndrome has...

Can you learn to cough after having a stroke?
A strong cough, requires powerful coordinated contraction of expiratory (abdominal) muscles. The expiratory muscles contract to build up high positive intrapleural and intra-airway pressures for development of peak expiratory Flow rates. Expiratory muscle strength training (EMST) has been shown to improve parameters related to pulmonary function, speech, and cough.However, no one has investigated what changes occur in the activation of abdominal muscles after training. The aim of this study is to clarify which role plays the coordination of abdominal muscles in expiratory flows. The null hypothesis was that stroke patients...

Cold Weather Can Be Dangerous for the Human Body. This Winter Worries Experts
A particularly nasty trifecta of influenza, COVID-19, and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is already portending a rough winter. But there’s another factor contributing to a potentially tough season for health: a colder-than-average season, which is forecast in the northern U.S. and the U.K.
Even an ordinary cold season can pose a threat to human health and safety. One 2015 study published in the Lancet analyzed over 74 million deaths around the world found that more than 7% of deaths were attributed to exposure to cold temperatures. “There is conclusive evidence that there is increased risk for many health ou...

Hospital Closures Pose Challenges to Care
Empty beds in a hospital room.
When 10-bed Nye Regional Medical Center, in west-central Nevada, closed abruptly in 2015, it meant that the residents of the former gold-mining town of Tonopah would have to drive about two hours across a hundred miles of desert roads to get to the nearest hospital.
The hospital’s CEO, Wayne Allen, didn’t sugar-coat it.
“This is a decision that will ultimately jeopardize the health and well-being of our community and surrounding areas,” he said.
Hospital closures over the last decade—most notably in rural areas and in pediatrics, but urban closures as well—have left patients wi...

Magnetic Nanobubble Mechanical Stress Induces the Piezo1 ‐Ca2+‐BMP2/Smad Pathway to Modulate Neural Stem Cell Fate and MRI/Ultrasound Dual Imaging Surveillance for Ischemic Stroke
Magnetic nanobubbles (MNBs) assembled from magnetic nanoparticles are fabricated. When interacting with neural stem cells (NSCs), these MNB nanostructures can contract and expand with volumetric oscillation, leading to a change in intramembrane mechanical properties. Therefore, MNBs can serve as acoustic sensors to transduce Piezo1-Ca2+- triggered BMP2/Smad signals regulating NSC development and can be tracked using magnetic resonance and ultrasound dual imaging. AbstractNeural stem cells (NSCs) are used to treat various nervous system diseases because of their self-renewal ability and multidirectional differentiation pote...

Targeting brain-spleen crosstalk after stroke: new insights into stroke pathology and treatment
Curr Neuropharmacol. 2021 Mar 15. doi: 10.2174/1570159X19666210316092225. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe immune response following acute stroke has received great attention. The spleen is an important immune organ, and more and more studies have shown that brain-spleen crosstalk after stroke plays an important role in its development and prognosis. There are many mechanisms of spleen activation after stroke, including activation of the sympathetic nervous system, the production of chemokines, and antigen presentation in the damaged brain. The changes in the spleen after stroke are mainly reflected in morphology, changes...
