Head Lice
Head Lice are tiny insects that live on the scalp. They lay eggs, called nits which stick to their hair very close to the scalp. Head lice do not spread disease. Having lice does not mean you are unclean. Head lice are vey common among children, especially girls due to close contact. Daycares, schools are more likely to be infested, but Lice can affect persons of any age or socioeconomic group. Head lice affect‘s 1.5 million Canadian children per year. Cases of human louse infestations have steadily increased since the 1960’s affecting hundreds of millions of people worldwide. Head lice are not a health hazard and do not contribute to the spread of disease. Head lice are spread through direct contact, or indirectly on items such as hats, combs, brushes or headphones. They can’t fly or hop, but can crawl very quickly. Head lice can’t live on pets such as cats or dogs. Head lice can live up to three days off the scalp. Although the eggs can survive for up to three days, they need a very warm environment to develop and very unlikely to hatch at room temperature. The head louse is about the size of a sesame seed, wingless, elongated and flat. It has short antennae and six legs that are capable of grasping hairs In order to crawl quickly. Narrow sucking mouthparts are hidden inside the head structure and are used to suck blood from the human scalp every 3-6 hours while injecting saliva. The life cycle of the head louse has three stages.
Stage 1/ eggs
• Oval, usually white in clour, may be mistaken for dandruff, are firmly attached to a hair shaft, close to the scalp
• Take about I week to hatch
Stage 2/ baby louse
• Lives on scalp and feed off human blood
• Matures in I week into an adult louse
• If a nymph falls off a person it usually survives only one day
Stage 3 / Adult Louse
• Size of a sesame seed, has 6 legs and is tan to grayish-white
• Females lay nits, they are usually larger than males
• Can live up to 30 days on a persons head
• Feeds on human blood
• If falls off a person, it may survive up to two days
What to look for
• One of the first signs is itching and scratching the head
• Lice are hard to see, good lighting is essential
• Nits are easier to see
• Nits are firmly attached to the hair close to the scalp, they may look like dandruff, but can’t be flicked off.
Treatment
There are very effective treatments for head lice, all treatment contain an insecticide. You must wash in hot soapy water, all hats, scarf’s, hairbrushes, combs, hair ribbons, pillowcases, towels, bed linens and machine wash all stuffed toys and coats. Wash all items after first and second treatments. Items that can not be machine washed should be dry cleaned or placed in an airtight bag for 10 days to two weeks. Excessive house cleaning is not necessary but vacuum surfaces where heads may have rested, sofas, seats of cars, ect.

Candida;
Candidiasis is an infection caused by an overgrowth of Candida fungi especially Candida albicans. These fungi are found almost anywhere in the environment, and some may live harmlessly alongside with the abundant native species of bacteria that normally colonize in the mouth, the gastrointestinal tract and vagina. In these situations the overgrowth of Candida is prevented by the presence of the native bacteria and by the body’s immune defenses. If the population of the native bacteria is decreased, Candida fungi can multiply enough to cause symptoms.
Conditions caused by Candida;
• Oral
• Intertrigo ( inflammatory skin disease involving body folds)
• Vulvovaginitis
• Diaper rahes
• Paronychia
• Chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis
Some of the most frequent Candida symptoms:
• Abdominal gas
• Headaches
• Migraines
• Excessive fatigue
• Cravings for alcohol
• Anxiety
• Vaginitis
• Rectal itching
• Cravings for sweets
• Inability to think clearly or concentrate
• Hyperactivity
• Mood swings
• Diarrhea
• Constipation
• Itching
• Acne
• Eczema
• PMS
• Ear aches
• Thrush
• Sore throat
• Acid reflux
• Athletes foot
There is a variety of causes of Candida but the two leading contributors are a diet high in refined foods and the overuse of antibiotics. Taking acidophilus on a daily basis is one of the best defenses against yeast overgrowth and a healthy colon. During any treatment people may experience a temporary worsening of symptoms as the fungi die off. This is a normal part of the healing process. Candia is a really an insidious tricky yeast and once you have overgrowth it can be extremely difficult to get under control. It takes a lot of patience education and persistence.

Laryngitis;
Laryngitis is an inflammation of the larynx. It causes hoarse voice or complete loss of the voice because of irritation to the vocal folds (vocal cords). Laryngitis is acute and usually only lasts for a few days; it is categorized as chronic if it lasts for more, and can last up to and over 3 weeks. Causes can be colds or the flu; this is the most common cause. Acid reflux, also know as gastroesophagael reflux disease (GERD) can also cause Laryngitis, this type is also referred to as reflux laryngitis. Over use of your voice can also be a cause as also irritation such as from allergies, smoke and alcohol use.
What are the symptoms?
• Hoarseness or raspy voice
• Dry, sore throat
• Coughing or a factor causing
• Difficulty swallowing
• Sensation of swelling in the area of the larynx
• Cold or flu-like symptoms
• Swollen lymph glands in the throat, chest or face.
• Fever
Treatment:
In most cases the symptoms accompanying laryngitis are more directly linked to the causative factor, such as infection. Laryngitis is often a symptom of some other health problem, so finding out its root cause is the first step to treating laryngitis. In most cases it is caused by overuse of the voice, symptoms other than vocal impairment may be absent. If laryngitis lasts more than 2 weeks it may signal a voice disorder and should be followed-up by a voice pathologist or laryngologist.
• If caused by gastroesophageal relux, patient may be instructed to take medication for periods of 4-6 weeks.
• If due to bacterial or fungal infection, patient may be prescribed a course of antibiotics or anti-fungal medication.
• If persistent hoarseness or loss of voice, a physician may recommend treatment that may include surgical procedure or speech therapy.
• Reduction of high-impact stress to the vocal cords can also be recommended.

Laryngitis is acute and usually only lasts for a few days; it is categorized as chronic if it lasts for more, and can last up to and over 3 weeks. Causes can be colds or the flu; this is the most common cause. Acid reflux, also know as gastroesophagael reflux disease (GERD) can also cause Laryngitis, this type is also referred to as reflux laryngitis. Over use of your voice can also be a cause as also irritation such as from allergies, smoke and alcohol use.
What are the symptoms?
• Hoarseness or raspy voice
• Dry, sore throat
• Coughing or a factor causing
• Difficulty swallowing
• Sensation of swelling in the area of the larynx
• Cold or flu-like symptoms
• Swollen lymph glands in the throat, chest or face.
• Fever
Treatment:
In most cases the symptoms accompanying laryngitis are more directly linked to the causative factor, such as infection. Laryngitis is often a symptom of some other health problem, so finding out its root cause is the first step to treating laryngitis. In most cases it is caused by overuse of the voice, symptoms other than vocal impairment may be absent. If laryngitis lasts more than 2 weeks it may signal a voice disorder and should be followed-up by a voice pathologist or laryngologist.
• If caused by gastroesophageal relux, patient may be instructed to take medication for periods of 4-6 weeks.
• If due to bacterial or fungal infection, patient may be prescribed a course of antibiotics or anti-fungal medication.
• If persistent hoarseness or loss of voice, a physician may recommend treatment that may include surgical procedure or speech therapy.
• Reduction of high-impact stress to the vocal cords can also be recommended.

Seasonal Allergies;
Surveys have shown that one-quarter of the Canadian population, eight million, will wheeze and sneeze through the coming months and the numbers have increased in the past two decades. The first step on getting a handle on allergies is finding out what is triggering them. Seasonal Allergies usually occur in the Spring and Fall, but you can get seasonal allergies at any time of the year, it just depends what you are allergic to. If its dust or mould, then you are most likely to first experience symptoms in the Fall when the furnace is first turned on and the windows are closed and then easing in the spring you the opposite is done. Most people think of allergies as starting in the Spring and often run through to the first frost. This is when people who are allergic to grasses and pollens have a really bad time. The symptoms of nasal congestion (rhinitis), itchy watery eyes (conjunctivitis) are more than some people can bear. Perhaps the worst system is extreme fatigue that accompanies these symptoms. Allergies occur when the immune system overreacts to a harmful substance. Your body is trying to defend itself against a foreign invader, much as it would against a bacteria or virus that could cause you an infection. Thus it is an “immune response” rallying the forces against a harmful invader. Since you are continually breathing in the substance, your loyal body continually tries to defend against it. When allergies occur the body releases histamine, causing increased secretions and inflammation which cause the symptoms that make you feel so miserable. Drugs that prevent histamine release are called anti-histamines and there are many on the market. They can reduce your systems, but can’t cure the problem. They can also produce nasty side-effects such as drowsiness and more fatigue than you already have. The newer anti-histamines on the market are less apt to cause these side effects, but not in all people. There are natural approaches you can try to reduce histamine release which may help.
• Vitamin C – 1000mg, three times daily taken through the day with meals. ( time release variety are not recommended for this purpose)
• Pantothenic Acid – one of the B Vitamins, in a dose of 250mg twice with meals ( this is often sold as Calcium Pantothenate)
• Citrus Bioflavinoids – in a dose of 500 mg three times a day with meals
All the above tend to stabilize the mast cells, those cells that react when the allergen is inhaled and produce histamine. You will need to take all of these through the whole season in which you usually get your symptoms.
