Autopsy studies of the brain of Alzheimer patients showed decreased numbers of synapses in the brain of patients with the most severe mental symptoms. The number of synapses increase as mental activity increases. Dermatologists suggest that itch sufferers bathe without the use of soap, or use a cold-cream based soap. Water should be only tepid, not hot, and drying should be done in a patting rather than rubbing motion. This detergent may contain chlorine, which you may ingest when you eat or drink from the dishes or glasses.
Many people report increased numbers of migraine headaches occurring over the weekend.
A study from London suggests that these people may be suffering from caffeine-withdrawal migraines, as they consume less caffeine than during the week. They observe that women who took estrogen also practiced a number of other good health practices, which may actually be responsible for the benefits attributed to the use of estrogen. A study of over 1,000 women revealed that estrogen users were more likely to have adopted a diet lower in fat, reduced salt intake, increased exercise levels, and had their cholesterol levels monitored. They were more likely to have undergone pap smears, mammograms, and had rectal exams than were non-estrogen users. In order to reduce expenses, and because of a temporary shortage of rubber gloves, some health professionals have begun the practice of washing their gloved hands between patients, rather than changing and discarding the gloves.
