A Happy New Year to You All
I hope you had a very
happy and peaceful Christmas. I have
been wanting to create a suitable logo for this blog. When I did the Christmas one with the symbolic
star and holly it inspired me to use the star with lettering. Stella is the Latin word for 'star'.
The Virgin Mary was formerly given the byname 'Stella Maris', meaning 'star of
the sea'. My name is Stella Mary! So now
we have a logo. Suggestions are always
welcome for improvement.
I wasn’t sure whether I would be able to produce an eNews
this week, but I have gathered a number of things together, so here goes:-

Multivitamins:
So Many Types, So Many Labels
By MELINDA BECK
Your mother made you take them. Many doctors agree. Even the
Flintstones seem to endorse them. But do you really need a multivitamin?
How do you know if you
need a multivitamin? And how do you choose which one? Melinda Beck explains.
The answer is ... probably
not, although much depends on your age, gender, diet and health. One thing is
certain: A one-size-fits-all multivitamin can't precisely meet everyone's
needs. People over 50 need extra vitamin B-12, but not as much iron as many
multivitamins contain. Children who take adult multivitamins may be getting too
much vitamin A. And many women need a separate supplement to get extra calcium,
since it's too bulky to fit into a multivitamin.

Men with fibromyalgia
often go undiagnosed, Mayo Clinic study suggests
Association of
monoamine-synthesizing genes with the depression tendency in chronic fatigue
syndrome patients.
Evidence for overlap

neuropathic pain and fibromyalgia in adults.

Fibromyalgia
causes millions of people all over the world to suffer, and while there is
finally new research into this disease, many questions remain unanswered. For
instance fibromyalgia was labeled as fibrositis, (First labeled by Gowers in
1904), and later rheumatism, etc, until the American College of Rheumatology
agreed in 1990 to diagnostic criteria, (11 or more specific tender points
throughout body.)
What causes fibromyalgia? The history of fibromyalgia is very old has only recently received the attention needed to find the cause.

Drug Induced Nutritional Deficiencies and Gluten Sensitivity
Many Medications Rob Your
Already Malnourished Body of Nutrients
Drug induced nutrient loss
is a common yet often ignored side effect of prescription medications. Often
times, gluten sensitive patients who are chronically ill, are prescribed
medicines for their symptoms. Unfortunately, their physicians never sit down
with them to explain this problem.

N.B. I would
like to point out to you that the information in my eNews blog is passed on to you mainly from other
sources. Links are given to the
original articles. I take no
responsibility for their accuracy but freely give them publicity if I think
they might be of interest to my readership.
Sites I refer you to are for
information only. They might conflict in their opinions, they might not
even be medically sound, but I merely offer them for you to peruse and make
your own judgements, accept or reject as you will. Only by reading widely
can we get an overall picture of fibromyalgia syndrome and how we can deal with
its symptoms, learn to cope with them and still have a life. Any advice or recommendation of a medical or
legal nature should always be discussed with a qualified professional.
I also include
various awareness items, benefits issues, as well as general health
considerations. Anyone wishing to
reproduce any of the included items in printed form should seek permission from
