Autoimmune Thrombocytopenia
I guessed at my own autoimmune disorder, caused by none other than 22q, my genetic disability, just this year, only because I was wondering what it was. I pestered my endocrinologist about it, and she finally came out and said I had autoimmune thrombocytopenia which is low blood platelets in plain English, a medical condition where the white and red blood cell count is low. There are nowhere near enough books to read about this condition. Apparently not enough blood platelets are made in the bone marrow, they breakdown more in the bloodstream, and in the spleen or liver. What scares me the most about this condition is that it means shaking off viruses is hard, although I have not had a cold or flu in two years since the last one, which lasted a week?

A complete guide to Panchakarma cleansing therapy
Today, Ayurveda is becoming a way of living because of the many benefits that it offers. It has taken the shape of a modern-day movement that transforms how we treat our bodies and mind. Ayurveda helps sharpen our sense of self-awareness and inner sensitivity by making us listen to our bodies and minds and responding to them through the tools of nature. This practice, through the use of herbs, oils, roots, and plants for the prevention and treatment of various illnesses, has created its own loyal group of practitioners and followers. Also considered as the oldest system of healing, the term Ayurveda in Sanskrit means ‘The science of life’. This ancient knowledge originated in the Indian subcontinent around 5000 years ago. With the advent of globalization, this science of healing has spread far and wide. And today, everyone from all over has benefited from Ayurvedic practice.

Eye Health No No's
Eye health is a part of health in general just as dental health. Many people ignore it as I once did. If you don’t take care of yourself you are prone to develop issues of any kind. In my particular case it involves the lack of regard or care for my eyes.
