By Jasmine Sufi HBSc, BHSc, D.Ac  Pregnancy is a time filled with many emotions. With the prospect of a
new addition to the family, comes hope and anticipation for the
incredible changes that are about to happen, anxiety at the changes
taking place within your own body, and of course concern for the health
of your new baby. When a pregnancy results in miscarriage however, the
family is often left completely devastated. According to the American
College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), miscarriage is the
most common type of pregnancy loss. Studies have shown that 10-25% of
all clinically recognized pregnancies will end in miscarriage. The most
common causes of miscarriage include chromosomal errors, the improper
implementation of the egg within the uterus, and/or structural
deformities in an embryo that prevent its further development.

The
word Aloe (meaning “bitter and shiny substance”) is derived from the
Arabic word Alloeh. There are over 240 different species of Aloe,
growing mainly in the dry regions of Africa, Asia, Europe and America.
Although Aloe Vera is a member of the Lily family, it is very
cactus-like in its characteristics. This unique plant also belongs to a
larger plant family called "Xeroids." Of the 240+ species of Aloe, only
four are recognized as being of nutritional value to humans and animals. |

When
you have shakes and tremors, it may not always be Parkinson’s disease.
It really depends on what factors are present. Typical symptoms
associated with Parkinson’s are finger tremors, unsteadiness, facial
muscle weakness, muscle stiffness, and slow movement. But there are many
other conditions that can cause tremors such as: brain infection,
injury, tumor, thyroid conditions, psychiatric disorders, Alzheimer’s
disease, hereditary, heavy metals, chronic alcohol abuse leading to
liver disease.
