My husband Mike suffers from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), and various other major health concerns, but we solved one of them this week!
He has had stomach problems for the past few years and no doc could figure it out. He basically had NO APPETITE EVER and general gut uncomfortableness. Last week he stopped drinking milk and switched to lactose-free products.
Voila! No more stomach problems, a lot better mental state, and his hunger is slowly coming back. He cannot even believe the positive difference!
So, for those of you with CFS symptoms, try taking away the dairy products for a few days and see if it helps!

They have found two genes, which are passed from parent to child, that greatly increase the risk of a tumour forming.
The study, published in Nature Genetics, analysed DNA from 20 people with a strong family history. These findings could be used to develop a test to judge someone’s risk of the disease.

December 5, 2012 on 10:38 am | In Aging well, Boomer Health Issues, Chronic illness, Colon cancer, Death and dying, Diabetes, Fort Collins writer, Improvements in health care, Learning from our elders, Preventative screenings | Comments OffScientists say they have developed a breath-test that can accurately tell if a person has bowel cancer. The test, which looks for exhaled chemicals linked to tumour activity, was able to identify a majority of patients with the disease. The British Journal of Surgery reported an overall accuracy of 76%.
Scientists are working on breath-tests for a host of other diseases, including several types of cancer, TB and diabetes. These technologies show a great deal of promise. If diagnosed and treated early, the chances of stopping cancer can be good, but there is often little or no outward sign of the disease until it has progressed significantly.
