Natural approaches to epilepsy.

This article reviews research on the use of diet, nutritional supplements, and hormones in the treatment of epilepsy. Potentially beneficial dietary interventions include identifying and treating blood glucose dysregulation, identifying and avoiding allergenic foods, and avoiding suspected triggering agents such as alcohol, aspartame, and monosodium glutamate. The ketogenic diet may be consider...

Bioinformatics Approaches in Food Sciences

Food plays an important role in regulating the various processes within the body. With the continued progression of the “omics” era, bioinformatics curates and interprets biological data by computational means and therefore it has seen widespread integration across every discipline of life sciences including food sciences. Bioinformatics can be used for efficiently access to all genomics, prote...

Emergence in Exact Natural Sciences

The context of an operational description is given by the distinction between what we consider as relevant and what as irrelevant for a particular experiment or observation. A rigorous description of a context in terms of a mathematically formulated context-independent fundamental theory is possible by the restriction of the domain of the basic theory and the introduction of a new coarser topol...

Natural Approaches to Relieving Endometriosis

Endometriosis is a common gynecologic condition in which endometrial tissue grows in ectopic locations. It is estimated that 5 million women of reproductive age, or 10 percent of women, in the United States, are affected by this disease.1 Approximately 20 percent of women with chronic pelvic pain and 30–45 percent of women with infertility have endometriosis.2 Endometrial tissue outside the ute...

Natural Approaches to Stroke Prevention

Vitamin B Cocktail A daily vitamin B cocktail (vitamin B6, vitamin B12 and folic acid) is among the most important supplements that an afibber, or anyone else for that matter, can take. The vitamin B cocktail effectively lowers the level of homocysteine in the blood. High levels of homocysteine, a sulfurcontaining amino acid, is associated with an increased risk of stroke and is also involved i...
