A symptom (from Greek s?µpt?µa, "accident, misfortune, that which befalls" [1], from s?µp?pt?, "I befall", from s??- "together, with" + p?pt?, "I fall") is a departure from normal function or feeling which is noticed by a patient, indicating the presence of disease or abnormality. A symptom is subjective, [2] observed by the patient, [3] and not measured. [4]Symptoms may be chronic, relapsing or remitting. They also may progressively worsen or progressively become better (convalescence). Conditions may also be classified as symptomatic (present and demonstrating symptoms) or asymptomatic (present but without symptoms). Asymptomatic conditions and asymptomatic infections can exist for many years undiagnosed and may only be found upon medical testing (such as high blood pressure). Constitutional or general symptoms are those that are related to the systemic effects of a disease (e.g., fever, malaise, anorexia, weight loss). They affect the entire body rather than a specific organ or location. The terms "chief complaint", "presenting symptom", or "presenting complaint" are used to describe the initial concern which brings a patient to a doctor. The symptom that ultimately leads to a diagnosis is called a "cardinal symptom".

2. Lactose Intolerance is More than Milk Intolerance
March 19, 2010
Although lactose intolerance and milk allergy sound as if they are very similar conditions, the truth is that they are really quite different. What both have in common, however, is that sufferers are afflicted by various symptoms whenever they consume products containing cow's milk - which, in today's society, can cause something of a problem for many people. While it is possible to enjoy a perfectly satisfying and healthy diet without the use of dairy products, many people take pleasure in consuming meals and snacks that include milk, cheese and yogurt. However, those with lactose intoler... (read more)

4. Eczema Cures: Do They Work?
March 17, 2010
You've heard it all before: "There is no cure for eczema." Or, "This super pill will cure your eczema." Or, "Use this lotion and your eczema will be gone." Or, "Change your diet and you will end your eczema forever." Are any of these statements true? What is reality, what is myth, and what are lies?

7. Homeopathy is child-friendly and gentle therapy
March 21, 2010
Children’s illnesses are far more complex than what may appear on the surface. So, notwithstanding phenomenal scientific advance, most of the time, nobody knows for sure what goes on inside their mind/body.
For conventional medicine, a ‘cure’ means suppression of symptoms of a given illness. Homeopathy understands the consequences of suppression. Suppression only allows an illness to spread its roots deep inside and become chronic. Homeopathy says that a skin disease like eczema and a respiratory illness like asthma, for example, are connected. Conventional medicine too accepts that... (read more)
