It may be a symptom of nerve damage
Diabetic neuropathies are nerve disorders caused by diabetes. The conditions lead to numbness and sometimes pain and weakness, commonly in the hands, arms, feet, and legs. The U.S. National Diabetes Information Clearinghouse says the longer a person has diabetes, the greater his or her risk of developing a form of neuropathy. Doctors can use a number of tests to diagnose diabetic neuropathies, including a comprehensive foot exam, a nerve conduction study, or a nerve or skin biopsy. The best way to prevent this form of nerve damage is to keep blood glucose levels as close to normal as possible with a healthy diet, exercise, and medication, the agency says.

Coffee Protects Against Blinding Eyelid Disorder Caffeine may limit the problem in the same way it eases Parkinson's, experts say A daily dose of java may help prevent a form of severe eyelid spasm that can cause a person to become "blind," a new study suggests. In people with primary late onset blepharospasm, the eyelid muscles contract uncontrollably and cause involuntary blinking. In extreme cases, people are unable to prevent their eyelids from clamping shut and, despite having healthy eyes, they become functionally blind, according to background information in the study. The new study included 166 Italian patients with primary late onset blepharospasm and two control groups -- 187 people who were relatives of the patients and 228 people with another kind of facial spasm disorder -- who were asked about their coffee consumption. A team at the University of Bari found that just one to two cups of coffee a day helped protect against late onset blepharospasm and that increased coffee consumption also delayed onset of the condition -- 1.7 years for each additional cup of coffee per day. The study authors noted that previous research has suggested that caffeine may help prevent Parkinson's disease by blocking adenosine receptors, and the same mechanism may play a role in coffee's protective effect against primary late onset blepharospasm. "Considering that the caffeine content of a cup of Italian coffee (60-120 milligrams) is similar to the average content of a cup of American coffee (95-125 milligrams), the protective effect on the development of blepharospasm may be exerted at caffeine doses greater than 120-240 milligrams, comparable with the caffeine doses suggested to be protective against Parkinson's disease," the study authors wrote. Their findings were published online June 19 in the Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery and Psychiatry. Previous studies have suggested that smoking helps protect against blepharospasm, but the authors said they found no evidence to support that theory. More information The U.S. National Eye Institute has more about blepharospasm. -- Robert Preidt SOURCE: BMJ Specialist Journals, news release, June 19, 2007

In reading this month's issue of The Douglas Report I read about the issue of mammograms being responsible for spreading breast cancer. ---This is an excerpt from that article: You'd be hard pressed to find a woman in this country (USA) who hasn't been conned into geting a routine mammogram. And yes, I mean conned, Mammograms are touted as the best form of early detection for breast cancer. But in reality, getting one actually increases the risk of spreading the cancer if its present. Back in 1994, The Lancetpublished a study saying that breast compression "could cause small tumors to burst open and thus spread the cancer throughout the body." Don't American doctors read The Lancet? Its only the best medical journal in the world! ---End of excerpt Now, I have always felt that mammograms were barbaric to say the least, and now we know that they are also dangerous! The routine mammogram is just another scare tactic to get as many women as possible to buy into the system, thus lining the pockets of the prescribers, hospitals, mammogram machine makers and anyone else down the line. In using the "raise breast cancer awareness" tactic, they keep thinking up ways to keep an impressionable public pouring money into the "System". On top of this finding, the danger of radiation expsoure is tremendous, take a look at the article found on this website: it will really get you to thinking about the TRUE dangers associated with mammograms. Here you will be presented with several articles pertaining to breast cancer and mammography and some alternatives. I for one don't EVER plan on getting a mammogram again! I just want YOU to be aware of the facts and dangers.
