Immunomodulators, a Stop to Infections?

In case we cannot achieve this by natural stimulation through a diet rich in vitamins, we can easily turn to immunomodulators, agents that modify and influence the functions of the immune system. Infections of various types are usually the one that require special care and fortification of the immune system in order to resume a normal health condition. One natural immunomodulator, said to work even for HIV infections is bitter melon or Momordica charantia. Widely grown in India, China and Africa, bitter melon is...

Women, Nutrition & Life Work Together!
Women today are busier than ever before. Their stress is exacerbated by today's fast paced, pre-packaged, convenience based society and the toxins that come from antibiotics and household cleaners.

Diagnosis of HIV DISEASE-- What is ELISA test for HIV ?-- Whenever any organism enters the body, the immune system produces antibodies to it. Hence presence of these antibodies is an indirect evidence of the infection. ELISA test for HIV is a test that detects the antibodies to HIV. A positive ELISA test is therefore an indirect evidence of HIV infection. However the body takes 6 weeks to 3 months to produce antibodies. Thus even after infection the test becomes positive only after 6 weeks to 3 months. This period is called as the window period. During this period the patient is infective but the test is negative. Should a single ELISA test positive report be taken as an evidence of HIV infection...

Retail Giants Working to Increase Chlamydia Testing
In a US county, an unlikely group is helping in the fight to increase Chlamydia testing: both Wal-Mart and McDonald's are helping health authorities in NC increase the rate of testing for Chlamydia.

The recently enacted Health Care Reform may raise insurance premiums, or eliminate benefits for many couples with existing infertility treatment coverage. The new law contains an excise tax provision of 40% for so called "Cadillac" insurance plans: high cost employer-sponsored health plans.

Couples trying to conceive should consider their current payroll deductions, state of employment, and union membership, to get a sense of what holds for their future. The health care reform calls for a 40% excise tax...

How to Control Herpes With a Lysine Rich Diet
Both L-Lysine and L-Arginine play a distinctive role in the reproduction of the herpes simplex virus. The sole purpose of the herpes virus is to make millions of copies of itself. Nothing more, nothing less. After infecting a human host, the virus retreats down the nerve fibers to the nearest neural junction or 'ganglion'. Once there, they lie dormant until conditions favor viral replication. Every so often, a scouting party is sent to the site of the original invasion. The scouts invade a few cells and check for the needed conditions and supplies in order to set up a new cellular "manufacturing plant". (This is where the human victim detects prodromal symptoms). This consists of: - A weakened...
