Cause of Acidosis

Cause of Acidosis

Acidosis is the breeding ground for most diseases. Nepthritis or Bright's disease, rheumatism, premature old age, arteriosclerosis, high blood pressure, skin disorders, and various degenerative diseases are traceable to this condition. It seriously interferes with the functions of the glands and organs of the body. It also lowers the vitality of the system, thereby increasing the danger of infectious diseases.
The main cause of acidosis or hypo-alkalinity of the blood is faulty diet, in which too many acid
forming foods have been consumed. In the normal process of metabolism or converting the food
into energy by the body, various acids are formed in the system and in addition, other acids are
introduced in food. Whenever there is substantial increase in the formation of acids in the
system and these acids are not properly eliminated through the lungs, the kidneys and the
bowels, the alkalinity of the blood is reduced, resulting in acidosis.
Other causes of acidosis are depletion of alkali reserve due to diarrhoea, dysentery, cholera etc.,

Laryngitis Home Remedies

Laryngitis Home Remedies

Laryngitis is an inflammation of the larynx, which basically means an inflammation of the vocal chords. You know you have it when you lose your voice.
What Causes Inflammation Of The Vocal Chords?
Inflammation can be caused by overuse of your voice - or by infection or in very rare cases by a growth on the chords. You will usually know if you have been shouting, laughing or singing a great deal - at a rock concert for example or perhaps a football game - or even a birthday party or comedy show - its likely you have over strained your vocal chords and caused them to swell up.
On the other hand if you feel unwell or have an upper respiratory tract infection (a cold) then its likely the inflammation is caused by the same infection.
What's The Best Treatment For Laryngitis?
The first step is to rest your vocal chords completely by not speaking at all or by whispering when you need to communicate rather than speaking out loud.
Next, nearly all infectious cases of laryngitis are caused viruses rather than by bacteria. So taking antibiotics is not only a waste of time and money - since antibiotics only kill bacteria - but could also be harmful to your body.

Symptoms and Causes of Hyperthyroidism

Symptoms and Causes of Hyperthyroidism

The thyroid hormone acts as the pace-keeper of the body's processes and the pace itself is referred to as metabolism. Thus a subsequent rise in the thyroid hormone speeds up the functions of the body. The thyroid gland is also instrumental in regulating body temperature. It secretes two different hormones that determine the speed at which the body burns calories and releases energy. If the hormone production is high then the condition is hyperthyroidism but when it is low, the resultant condition is hypothyroidism.
There are a varied number of symptoms and most of which are in response to stimuli.
Acute weight loss coupled with a huge appetite, intolerance to harsh weather, weakness, fatigue, irritability, depression, apathy, polyuria and sweating are all part and parcel of the symptoms of hyperthyroidism. There may be seemingly alternate symptoms as well wherein patients may experience palpitations, or arrhythmias, possibly atrial fibrillation, dyspnea, nausea, vomiting and loss of libido. Older people might only show symptoms of fatigue and signs of weight loss which result in apathetic hyperthyroidism.
There could also be neurological manifestations such as myopathy, chorea, tremor or even periodic paralysis. A cardio embolic stroke may also occur due to atrial fibrillation and this is a rather serious complication of hyperthyroidism

Graves Disease Causes and Cures

Graves Disease Causes and Cures

It was perhaps even tougher for me, as I'm a holistic doctor that not only believes that there is a cause for every condition, but in most cases there also is a cure. And while there isn't a magic pill or supplement to cure Graves Disease, for many people it is possible to restore one's health through a natural treatment protocol. I'll briefly discuss this later in this article.
But first, here are some of the different Graves Disease causes:
Graves Disease Cause #1: inability to handle stress. Although most people know that stress can cause a lot of problems, most don't truly understand the impact that chronic stress can have on one's health over a period of many months or years. Our bodies were designed to handle acute stress situations, but not with chronic stress. As a result, a person who deals with chronic stress and does a poor job of managing it will most likely develop adrenal issues, which in turn can affect immunity, and over a period of time can lead to the development of an autoimmune condition.
Obviously it is not possible to completely eliminate the stress from your life. But most of us can do a much better job of handling stress. In fact, for anyone with Graves' Disease looking to restore their health, stress management is a key component.
Graves Disease Cause #2: Nutritional deficiencies. Having one or more nutritional deficiencies can cause or contribute to Graves Disease. There are many different nutritional deficiencies one can have, but two of the more common ones are iodine and Vitamin D. Many people wrongly assume that people with Graves' Disease have an excess of iodine, but this usually isn't the case. For more information on the importance of iodine and why most people are deficient in it, I highly recommend reading the book "Iodine, Why You Need It, Why You Can't Live Without It".
Vitamin D is another important nutrient when it comes to immunity. One of the big reasons many people are deficient in vitamin D is because they avoid the sun, and/or put sunscreen on every time they go outside. For more information about vitamin D, visit the website vitamindcouncil.
