Botulinum Toxin Not Effective for Headaches?

by

New guidelines developed by the American Academy of Neurology confirm that the drug botulinum toxin is safe and effective for treating cervical dystonia, a condition of involuntary head tilt or neck movement, spasticity and other forms of muscle overactivity that interfere with movement in adults and children with an upper motor neuron syndrome, and excessive sweating of the armpits and hands. Botulinum toxin may also be used in hemifacial spasm, blepharospasm, some voice disorders , focal limb dystonias, essential tremor and some forms of spastic bladder disorders. This guidelines project was chaired by David M. Simpson, MD. To develop the guidelines, the authors reviewed and analyzed systematically all available scientific studies on the topic. Since its introduction 28 years ago, botulinum toxin has become the most effective treatment for numerous movement disorders associated with increased muscle contraction. The drug is … Read more

Promoting TeethRemoval.com

Hey guys, I just wanted to share a quick update of how this website has been fairing as far as people visiting go. It has gradually been increasing each month through my promotion and SEO efforts. Hopefully I can keep the trend going throughout the summer. I have a few more ideas in mind to increase visibility in primarily Google as I do not rank as well in Google as I do in MSN and Yahoo. However, Google makes up the most of the people who find my site. Here is a chart to help illustrate the site’s growth. Thanks to everyone for visiting!

Reader Email

I wanted to talk briefly about the reader email i have been receiving. Thank you all for sending me email. I appreciate it and I wish you all well in your health. A common theme that appears is people emailing me saying something along the lines of “I wish I would have found your site before…”. I am aware that many people often will go and have their wisdom teeth removed and not think hard and long about the quality of life that could be diminished and impacted after the procedure. People may fail to do research online, or not do as much research as they should, or fail to find my site. I have been promoting my site hard through the use of SEO techniques and have been reading up heavily on blogs such as Winning the Web and … Read more

1.5 Telsa versus 3.0 Telsa MRI

by

Over the past few years in an effort to find a source that is causing my constant headache since I had all 4 of my wisdom teeth out I have had some MRI’s done. I became aware earlier this year that the MRI’s had done of my brain before were all on 1.5 Telsa machines. These means that the quality and resolution of the image is not as good. When I learned that there were better scanners that produced images with more quality and resolution, I wanted to have an MRI done on one of these machines. There are actually even better MRI scanners out there up to 11 Telsa. These are currently only used on animals. The FDA has approved human use up to 7.0 Telsa, but clinically you will not find one over 3.0 Telsa. Part of the … Read more

Licorice – Liquorice

by

Recently a neurologist I saw told me about adaptogens that can be used to regulate the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis or HPA axis. The term adaptogen is used by herbalists to refer to a natural herb product that is proposed to increase the body’s resistance to stress, trauma, anxiety and fatigue. One such adaptogen is licorice. I am sure many of you have had licorice before and likely think of red Twizzlers. Some of you may not like the taste of it that much. This is because it does not contain sugar as in most candies. However, recently I have been eating licorice that is better and tastes better than Twizzlers. I found some australian licorice at World Market. Licorice has a lot of medicinal uses and if you are depressed eating some each day might help you feel better. To learn … Read more
