Why neuropathy can feel worse during the holiday season
I often hear people tell me that their physical problems are worse around the holidays. That often evokes a lot of people to start talkng about holiday blues, etc. etc.
Well, there is a real reason for this - what do you eat?
Sugar in the form of Christmas cookies. Other deserts at parties and lots of other food that is fancied up for Thanksgiving, Christmas & New Year's - not to mention the alcohol that freely flows at this time of the year.
Sugar, sugar substitutes (except Stevia) and alcohol, will deplete the body of B vitamins. Carbohydrates will burn up B1.
B Vitamins are the most important vitamins for nerve health, and thus anything that depletes the body of B vitamins can make things worse when you have neuropathy.
Why do the nerves need B vitamins? Here is an article on Nerve Health and what the various vitamins do for the nerves. Nerve Health
What to Do After Taking Antibiotics?
Revitalize Your Gut Terrain
The gut terrain is likely not something many people think about on a regular basis, but it is an important aspect of health. Particularly as gut health relates to fungal and yeast problems. With antibiotics, the balance has been compromised.

All Calories are Not Alike - New Study Reveals Low-Carb Diets Burn More Calories
Most people regain the weight they lose from dieting within one or two years as the body adapts by slowing metabolism and burning fewer calories. A meticulous new study at Boston Children’s Hospital now reports that eating fewer carbohydrates helps to increase the number of calories burned. The findings, published in BMJ, suggest that low-carb diets can help people maintain weight loss.
The study, known as the Framingham State Food Study, carefully controlled what people ate by providing them with fully prepared meals for a 20-week period. Researchers carefully tracked participants’ weight and measured insulin secretion, metabolic hormones and total energy expenditure (calories burned).
“This is the largest and longest feeding study to test the ‘Carbohydrate-Insulin Model,’ which provides a new way to think about and treat obesity,” said principal investigator David Ludwig, MD.
The researchers enrolled 234 overweight adults (ages 18 to 65, with a body mass index of 25 or higher) in an initial weight-loss program lasting 10 weeks. Of these, 164 achieved the goal of losing 10 to 14 percent of their body weight and went on to the study’s maintenance phase.
These participants were then randomized to follow a high-, moderate- or low-carbohydrate diet for an additional 20 weeks. The diets contained carbs comprising 60, 40 and 20 percent of total calories, respectively. The carbohydrates provided to all three groups were of high quality, conforming to guidelines for minimizing sugar and using whole rather than highly processed grains.
In all three groups, total calorie intake was adjusted to maintain weight loss, so participants’ weight did not change notably. During this phase, the goal was to compare energy expenditure – how the different groups burned calories at the same weight.
“If this difference persists – and we saw no drop-off during the 20 weeks of our study – the effect would translate into about a 20-pound weight loss after three years, with no change in calorie intake,” says Ebbeling.
In people with the highest insulin secretion at baseline, the difference in calorie expenditure between the low- and high-carb diets was even greater, about 400 kilocalories per day, consistent with what the Carbohydrate-Insulin Model would predict. Ghrelin, a hormone thought to reduce calorie burning, was significantly lower on the low- versus high-carb diet.
Ludwig and Ebbeling recently launched another clinical trial involving 125 obese adults. Participants are being randomized to one of three diets: very-low-carb, high carb/low sugar or high carb/high sugar diets, with their calorie intakes individually matched to their energy expenditure. Results are expected in 2021.

Essential Mist? - are essential oils about the fragrance (smell) or its properties?
I saw a commerical for AirWick. They have something called "Essential Mist". And it comes in Seasonal smells.
Hmm. I thought it was bad enough to call essential oils "aromotherapy". Somehow in aromotherapy the smell was supposed to calm you down, or pick you up, but the smell is usually not natural but sweet and perfumey.
So what is the difference between "Essential Mist" and true "Essential Oils".
