- Cranial
Electrotherapy Stimulation as a Proven Effective Treatment for
Fibromyalgia
by Daniel L. Kirsch, PhD, DAAPM, FAIS
Pain messages originate in the brain
and are exacerbated by emotional disturbances. Given this, the
author argues that the most effective treatment for fibromyalgia,
which is characterized by systemic pain, mood, sleep, and cognitive
disorders, may be one that directly addresses the sourcepoint:
the brain.
- Increasing
Human Body Size and Its Physical and Environmental Ramifications
by Thomas T. Samaras and Jonn Desnoes,
OMD, MD, PhD
Bigger is better, right? Maybe not.
Authors Samaras and Desnoes debunk the belief that burgeoning
human size is a sign of better worldwide human health and increased
longevity. On the contrary, the authors argue, increasing birthweight
and growth rates are harbingers of pervasive obesity, greater
incidence of illness, shorter life spans, and rapidly diminishing
resources.

- Healing
with Electromedicine and Sound Therapies
by Nenah Sylver, PhD
In Part One of this highly informative
and cogent article, Dr. Nenah Sylver offers a primer on electromedicine.
She reviews its role throughout history, explains the science
behind the electromagnetic (EM) spectrum and its parallel to sound
frequency, and investigates both the harmful and healing effects
of EM radiation and EM fields. A vital introduction to a controversial
treatment modality, this article will continue next month with
an in-depth discussion of specific EM therapies.
Part Two is also online.

Intracellular Bacterial Infections (Mycoplasma, Chlamydia, Borrelia
species) in Neurodegenerative (Multiple Sclerosis, Amyotrophic
Lateral Sclerosis, Alzheimer's) and Behavioral (Autistic Spectrum
Disorders) Diseases
by Prof. Garth L. Nicolson
Professor Garth Nicolson reports on
research that reveals and underscores the significant presence
of systemic bacterial, viral, and/or fungal infections in causing
and perpetuating neurodegenerative diseases and behavioral neurological
conditions, such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, multiple sclerosis,
Alzheimer's disease, autistic spectrum disorders, and Lyme disease.
In his extensive review, the author investigates the roles Mycoplasma
species, Chlamydia pneumoniae, Brucella species, Borrelia burgdorferi,
and other infections play in specific disease states, and he calls
for an integrative, long-term treatment approach.
