July-Juvenile Arthritis Month

July is Juvenile Arthritis Awareness Month and the Arthritis Foundation is focusing on heightening awareness of early signs and symptoms and the resources available for families.
Often a child complaining of achy joints is diagnosed as having “growing pains,” a phenomenon believed to be the result of the natural growth process. Now it’s known that joint pain, stiffness and swelling in or around the joint may be early signs of a serious, inflammatory rheumatic disease, according to a news release from the Arthritis Foundation.
 “Parents should be aware that juvenile arthritis is not rare. If a child is limping on a regular basis, or having pain and swelling of any joint, it would be important to get evaluated by a doctor. It is also important to note that lab values can be normal, and that still doesn’t rule out juvenile arthritis,” says Pediatric Rheumatologist Dr. Ankur Kamdar, assistant professor of pediatrics at The University of Texas Health Science Center (UTHealth). “Early medical treatment of juvenile arthritis can prevent serious, permanent damage to young joints and enable your child to live an active, full childhood.”

 The announcement continues: “Contrary to general belief, infants, children and teenagers can get arthritis. Approximately 300,000 children are affected by juvenile arthritis. While there is no known cure, there has never been a more optimistic outlook for children with juvenile arthritis. Advances in research have produced new treatments that moderate and even stop the effects of juvenile arthritis, preventing significant disability in later years.”When joint cartilage wears away, bone rubs against bone, causing osteoarthritis. Sounds painful? It is.

Osteoarthritis seriously impairs the quality of life for 27 million Americans. Given that osteoarthritis is so disabling, painful, and common, lots of quack “cures” are out there, from shark cartilage to copper jewelry to snake venom.

But here are 13 natural remedies that research suggests may actually help ease arthritis pain.http://www.health.com/health/gallery/0,,20443624,00.html

Sodium Lauryl Sulfate= Detergent in your toothpaste.

You are seduced on a daily basis by the intoxicating aromas, flashy packaging, and enticing promises of everlasting youth these products offer. But what is the real cost of applying these products to your body? If I were to tell you that your personal care products could be putting you at risk for hair and skin damage, immunological problems, damage to your eyes, and possibly even cancer, would you pay a little more attention to their ingredients? The growing awareness of chemicals in the foods you eat has led many of you to begin reading labels. If you are doing this as part of your regular shopping routine, I commend you, and you will likely live longer for it. But what about the products you are smearing all over yourself? Eye makeup can be absorbed by your highly sensitive mucous membranes. Hair sprays, perfumes and powders can be inhaled, irritating your lungs. Lipstick is licked off and swallowed. Sunscreen and lotions are...

As a result, the fact that you can incorporate natural ingredients and avoid hazardous chemical substances although generating your personal place fresheners at residence helps make this thought far more attractive.

Glycol Propylene-Hazardous to your Health. It's in EVERYTHING!

Image
What is propylene glycol? It is is a chemical found in personal care products that acts as a penetration enhancer that keeps products from melting in heat and/or freezing when it is cold. It is found in items such as shampoo, conditioner, soap, acne treatment, moisturizer, toothpaste, deodorant, nail polish, mascara; basically anything you could possibly use on your body, propylene glycol is in it.  Why should you avoid propylene glycol? For starters it alters the structure of the skin by allowing chemicals to penetrate deep beneath it while increasing their ability to reach the blood stream. Sounds lovely, right? So even if propylene glycol was good for you, it’s main job is to help any other chemicals you come in contact with reach your bloodstream. Who wants to use a chemical designed to help other chemicals penetrate even deeper into your skin? Not me. However, there is even more to it than just that… How Toxic...
