Parkinson’s disease is a kind of paralysis, especially of old people in which the muscles become stiff and the limbs continually shake. It is also a chronic, degenerative disorder of the nervous system, in which voluntary movement is impaired or lost. Although it may come to affect the entire body, it most noticeably weakens the ability to control motions categorized as semi-voluntary. Parkinson’s disease is caused by insecticides, pesticides and herbicides, heavy metals, carbon-monoxide poisoning, inflammatory brain disorder, free radicals, poor nutrition, and food allergies.

Its symptoms are tremors, rigid or heavy-feeling arms and legs, a “pill-rolling” motion of the hand and the thumb, constipation, difficulty speaking, a huffing gait, with the arms close to the body.

Other symptoms are stooped posture, masklike facial expression, drooling (eventually, an inability to perform most voluntary and semi voluntary movements.

The diet for Parkinson’s disease: Eat raw foods (fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds) because they are high in fibre which will keep you regular and contain antioxidants that fight free radical damage.

Follow a diet that is composed of 50-75% raw and organic foods. If you can not find organic foods products, make sure to wash everything in clean water before eating. When you eat protein, focus on beans, legumes, soy products or fish (from a clean water source).

Use cold-dressed oils in salad dressing. They are high in vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant that is important in the prevention and the treatment of Parkinson’s disease. Drink a glass of clean water but not tap water every after two working hours. This will flush toxins and other impurities from your body and will also lend general support to every your body system.

Food poisoning is an acute intestinal illness that results from eating food that contains harmful chemicals some of which are bacterial and others viral.

Our food can be contaminated at any stage, be it harvesting, production, processing, storage and or cooking, as Dr. George Wamuyu, the Child Health and Nutrition adviser at the Regional Centre for Quality Health Care says. Dr. Wamuyu says that food poisoning may come as a result of under-cooked meat, eating raw vegetables, taking unboiled water, and or non-pasteurised milk.

Even if one cooks the food properly, food poisoning may occur if the food is placed on dirty utensils or cutting boards. Note that all foods contain bacteria. Even food itself may produce high levels of poisonous chemicals that trigger food poisoning.

The Symptoms of food poisoning depend on the type of toxins. These include nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea. Children, pregnant women, people with chronic diseases are prone to food poisoning. The condition can be treated, according to Dr. Wamuyu, by antibiotics, and it is advisable to avoid dairy products  when suffering from food poisoning.

Symptoms of osteomyelitis are many. They develop and stay for over a relatively some period. Acute osteomyelitis is difficult to determine because people relate it to trauma or a child falling down.

The major signs of osteomyelitis include: pain in the affected bone, tenderness to pressure and arise in temperature over the infected area.

One can also get muscle spasms in the inflamed area, fever and chills which resolve in about 3 days but recur with the swelling. Pus is also produced within the bone resulting in a foul-smelling discharge.

The thigh bone (also called the femur), the lower leg (tibia) or the bone of the upper arm (read humerus) is the most likely sites of infection. This is because in children these bones have particular high blood circulation, making them more susceptible to bacteria invasion.
