Hopefully that will work for you. As for coffee, it's overrated... just get enough sleep each night. Coffee doesn't wake me up, it just makes me urinate a lot; as a result, I've been forced to do without it. Despite that, I still outdo many of my coffee-toting peers for energy and endurance. You don't need it.

As far as I'm aware, Crohn (and a few others) had a mutation affecting the expression of CCR5, which is used in cell signaling and trafficking. HIV uses the receptor to gain entry into cells. We have anti-HIV drugs that work by blocking the virus' binding to CCR5, however there are strains of HIV that use another receptor (CXCR4) to gain entry into cells. Obviously, the CCR5-blocking drugs are ineffective against those strains, although at the moment those strains seem to be in the minority.

It's been about 3 weeks, going to 4 weeks since I've been on Protonix with a slightly modified diet. It's helped out a LOT with the nausea and bloated feeling. First 2 weeks was totally rough. I actually avoided fast food and greasy food, AND SODA, something which is nearly impossible in my household/culture haha, but I really wanted to get better. I mainly stuck to the basics of food really, light cereal for breakfast, PBJ for lunch, and broiled chicken and veggies for dinner or soup for dinner with fruits as snack. Super tough the first 2 weeks, but in the nauseated/bloated feeling went away a good amount of the time. After that, I started to slowly ease back into "regular" diet, but now I definitely still do not eat hardcore like I used too. The good thing is I lost about 3lbs since I started, doesn't seem much but I can kind of tell on my face/stomach. I definitely cannot eat as much as before, even if I want to, I can't simply because I feel full which is kind of good I guess haha; helps me cut back on eating. I still get the nauseated feeling, especially very early in the morning since I have to wake up around 5am for school. That's when the nauseated feeling is the worse, but as long as I'm chewing something the first couple hours of the morning (like gum), I'll be fine throughout the day. I also have to watch out when I eat out with friends since sometimes certain things just irritate my stomach and I can't finish eating (like ranch dressing...but I did eat a lot of it this one time haha)

Why We Need to Think Differently About Our Genomes:
"In a wonderful feature for the New York Times, Carl Zimmer explains that scientists across the world are discovering that many of us contain more than one genome. Now that genome sequencing is much cheaper—thousands of dollars as opposed to millions—researchers are noticing that chimeras are far more common than they thought. Some of us have mutated cells within isolated parts of our bodies, for instance, while other are riddled with genomes that came from other people."

Scientists Create a Blueprint For the First Universal Flu Vaccine:
"A team of British scientists just took a major stride forward in the quest to develop a universal flu vaccine. Using data gathered after the 2009 swine flu outbreak, the team from the Imperial College London have a game plan to develop a vaccine that stands to save as many as half a million lives every year. The key to the latest flu research can be found in immune cells known as CD8 T cells. Research showed those of the 341 subjects in the swine flu study, those who had more CD8 T cells in their blood experienced less severe symptoms or no symptoms at all. A new vaccine would simply instruct the body to produce more of these types of cells." See: http://gizmodo.com/scientists-have-f...ive-1370978469 |

Dentists May Start Covering Teeth in Growth-Stimulating Diamond Dust:
"Looks like there's a new candidate for most awesome supermaterial in town. Dentists may soon start fighting bone loss by covering our teeth in itty bitty nanodiamonds, making repairing teeth quicker, cheaper, and much less painful." See: http://gizmodo.com/dentists-may-star...ing-1370861423 |

There was an important typographical error in that article, I believe it's anesthesia. Anyway, the procedure wasn't new but the blood clot in terms of how big it is is amazingly something I've heard for the first time.

The breast cancer shot? Cleveland doctor develops a vaccine:
"Vincent Tuohy, an immunologist at the Cleveland Clinic, has a vaccine. But even now, three years later, there remains a big catch: It’s so far been tested only on mice, and it isn't likely to be available to women for another 10 years. And that’s only if it passes a rigorous Food and Drug Administration approval process." See: http://news.yahoo.com/the-breast-can...113000843.html |
