Nail Fungus
An infection of nail fungus occurs when fungi infect one or more of your nails. A nail fungal infection may begin as a white or yellow spot under the tip of your fingernail or toenail. As the nail fungus spreads deeper into your nail, it may cause your nail to discolor, thicken and develop crumbling edges, an unsightly and potentially painful problem. These infections usually develop on nails continually exposed to warm, moist environments, such as sweaty shoes or shower floors. Nail fungus isn’t the same as athlete’s foot, which primarily affects the skin of the feet, but at times the two may coexist and can be caused by the same type of fungus. An infection with nail fungus may be difficult to treat, and infections may recur. But medications are available to help clear up nail fungus.

Stress, Anxiety and Depression

Depression: Some Good News
By: Malcolm Campbell, Thu Mar 15th, 2007
As rated by American doctors, the most frequent medical problem is depression. It seems patients make appointments because of other symptoms (stomach trouble, sleep problems, allergies), and then the reason for the symptoms turns out to be depression. Typically, doctors then will prescribe anti-depressants - even though the patients come in about other symptoms - and after a few weeks, the symptoms fade and the patient feels more or less okay. Because the doctor is usually a General practice or Internal Medicine physician, he or she will have neither time nor training for much else. As a consequence, drugs are by far the most frequent method for dealing with depression.

By: William Roberts, Tue Feb 6th, 2007

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is one of the most common ailments of the bowel (intestines) and affects an estimated 15% of persons in the US. The term, irritable bowel, is not a particularly good one since it implies that the bowel is responding irritably to normal stimuli, and this may or may not be the case. The several names for IBS, including spastic colon, spastic colitis, and mucous colitis, attest to the difficulty of getting a descriptive handle on the ailment. Moreover, each of the other names is itself as problematic as the term IBS.

With taking the kids to school, soccer practice, doctor’s appointments, shopping for groceries, keeping the house clean, and trying to fix good, nutritious meals for the family, most active mothers do not want or need something like irritable bowel syndrome to inhibit their activity and make things for difficult.
