		<title>SENILITY IS DEMENTIA: SYMPTOMS</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The medical term for senility is dementia. Dementia refers to a set of symptoms, not a single illness &#8211; a generally progressive, irreversible decline in memory, reasoning, thinking. A number of diseases produce this inexorable intellectual deterioration. Though it has now become the popular catchword for everything, Alzheimer&#8217;s disease is only the most common of [...]]]></description>

		<title>AGING AND DISEASES: DEMENTIA</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The person whose mind I have always envied most, my brilliant childhood friend who became a historian, has Alzheimer&#8217;s disease. Several years ago she began noticing changes in her teaching. She had trouble finding the right word for what she wanted to say. Sometimes she would pause in the middle of a sentence and begin [...]]]></description>

		<title>STRESSES AND CHANGES IN A CHILD’S LIFE: SHYNESS</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There is a great deal of individual variation in the way that children interact with others. Some seem to have boundless curiosity and confidence, while others are hesitant and literally cling to mother&#8217;s skirts. Shyness has been the subject of a great deal of study by researchers in recent times. Many have been concerned with [...]]]></description>

		<title>DEFINITIONS OF SOME EXPRESSIONS YOUR DOCTOR MAY USE &#8211; POSSIBLE SIDE EFFECTS OF PAINKILLERS (PAINKILLERS AND CONSTIPATION)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[By the way, almost all painkillers cause constipation, so changing painkillers is not a good way of dealing with this problem. You will probably need to take laxatives regularly. Read pages 130-31 for other suggestions. Aim for the balance between pain relief and side effects that&#8217;s best for you. You may prefer to be completely [...]]]></description>

		<title>WARTS &#8211; TREATMENT</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There is some scientific evidence to suggest that some warts respond to treatment with a tranquillising drug. All these treatments where success has been claimed are probably part of a placebo effect. Local applications are effective and those prescribed by doctors and chemists contain either salicylic acid or podophyllin or both. Where the local application [...]]]></description>

		<title>FEET – GENERAL INFORMATION</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Placing a wedge of rubber between the first and second toes may help but this needs a wide shoe to accommodate it. At operation, the bunion is removed, the bony overgrowths are shaved off and the joint is realigned. The toe becomes straight again and the joint is either fixed or floppy but this doesn&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

		<title>CYSTITIS &#8211; TREATMENT</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Once the sample is collected, treatment can be started. Potassium citrate is used to render the urine alkaline. This can be given as Citralka, or as one of the newer tablets or powders that dissolve in water to form a pleasant fizzy drink. Like the old-fashioned barley water, these relieve the symptoms but do not [...]]]></description>

		<title>HOW MAJOR IMPROVEMENTS IN CHEMOTHERAPY HAVE COME ABOUT &#8211; DRAMATIC AND OBVIOUS IMPROVEMENTS IN TREATMENT</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Unfortunately, dramatic and obvious improvements in treatment like these are rare. After the results in Hodgkin&#8217;s disease were published, the principle of using high dose combinations was applied to other types of cancer. A few types showed a similarly dramatic improvement in results but for many it was much less spectacular or nonexistent. For example, [...]]]></description>

		<title>THE G.I. FACTOR: ANSWERED QUESTIONS</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Has the G.I. factor been tested in long-term studies? At least twelve studies to date have looked at the G.L factor in the diet in relation to long-term diabetes control. Some of these studies have been five weeks long, others, including ours, up to three months. All but one showed a clear benefit in improving [...]]]></description>

		<title>FAT LOSS: FIXED FACTORS</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Genetics. Where there is good reason to suspect a genetic influence on obesity, it is reasonable to suspect that the fat loss response to exercise will be blunted in comparison with the non-obese. Generic influences probably mean a reduced level of fat utilisation at a given exercise intensity meaning that a greater total amount, and [...]]]></description>
