 Also known as Hughes' syndrome, APS is also a risk factor for recurrent miscarriages. In fact, it's responsible for about 20% of recurrent miscarriages.
MOTTLED SKIN (Livedo Reticularis) warning sign
People with livedo, whether or not they have APS, are at increased risk of recurrent miscarriages. If you have these purple skin patterns and are pregnant or have had a history of miscarriage, mention it to your doctor. |

 And in June 2005, bisphenol-A was linked to recurrent miscarriages among young women.21 Scientists in Japan said a small sample study published in Human Reproduction indicated a link between recurrent miscarriages and bisphenol-A Such studies could potentially expose the companies or their clients to lawsuits from consumers who may have been harmed by the chemicals. The latest study showed that women with a history of miscarriages were found to have higher levels of BPA in their bodies. |

 But when you examine her carefully, it turns out that she has recurrent vaginal yeast infections, some bloating, some gas and indigestion, and she has taken antibiotics: a classic profile of a Candida patient, which is all too common. In a place like Florida, where the weather is so humid and molds and yeasts grow so readily, problems associated with recurrent yeast infections are almost an epidemic."

Canker Sores Are Associated with Milk and Gluten Sensitivity
Canker sores are single or clustered shallow, painful ulcers found anywhere in the oral cavity. recurrent canker sores {aphthous stomatitis is the medical term) are a common condition that affects about 20 percent of the U.S. population. Although not a serious medical condition, recurrent canker sores are quite bothersome.
Based on studies of initiating factors, many cases of recurrent canker sores appear to be related to food sensitivities, especially to milk and gluten. |

Dark Patches
If you have dark patches on your body rather than your face and they're thicker or more velvety than normal skin, it may signal a type of hyperpig-mentation medically known as acanthosis nigricans (AN). |

| Based on studies of initiating factors, many cases of recurrent canker sores appear to be related to food sensitivities, especially to milk and gluten.19 The mouth is, obviously, the first site of contact for ingested allergens. The simple measure of eliminating gluten from the diet results in complete remission of recurrent canker sores in many patients. Given the known association of milk and gluten with initiating factors in type 1 diabetes, we would like to see research demonstrating how common recurrent canker sores are in patients with type 1 diabetes. |

 She experienced continual, total body pain, overwhelming fatigue, horrible allergies, and recurrent sinus and lung infections.
Finally, after testing and evaluation, Liz's doctors diagnosed her problem as fibromyalgia. This medical condition involves an array of symptoms—the worst being chronic pain and fatigue.
In years past fibromyalgia was called psychosomatic rheumatism, and doctors believed the disease was all in the patient's head. We have since learned that fibromyalgia is a true, miserable disease—which I can vouch for after watching my wife suffer. |

 Eleven patients with recurrent intestinal polyps of the colon, believed to be precancerous growths, were given 2 milligrams (2,000 micrograms) of folic acid per day for three months. The usual dietary intake of folic acid is around 200 micrograms, so this represented a 10-fold increase over their diet. In just 12 weeks researchers were able to measure significant reductions in abnormal cells. [Gut 51: 195-99, 2002] Colon cancer is supposed to arise as the result of a series of genetic mutations, progressing gradually in steps from abnormal cells to polyps and then invasive cancer. |

Rheumatoid Arthritis and Food Allergy/Sensitivity
Up to twenty percent of RA sufferers get better, while the rest have recurrent problems for the rest of their lives. If you or someone you care about is coping with RA, take note that there is a diet that is very helpful in relieving symptoms. (The same may be true for OA; more on this later.)
Research suggests that people susceptible to RA suffer from "leaky gut." Due to infection or some other problem, the intestinal lining literally develops tiny gaps between the cells, rather than the normally tightly packed cells. |

| Severe or recurrent episodes of hypoglycemia can result in permanent brain damage.5
With the scientific definition behind us, we can simplify the victims' commonality this way:
• Type 1 IDDM requires insulin for the sustenance of life. Diabetics must have insulin to balance the effects of HYPERglycemia (high blood sugar) —the defining characteristic of the disease.
• Insulin periodically causes HYPOglycemia (low blood sugar). The severity and frequency of hypoglycemic episodes determine the amount of brain dysfunction and concomitant effect on the diabetic. |

 Erin had no idea she felt that way, but this subconscious belief led to her recurrent miscarriages.
The second reason is that what we believe may or may not be an accurate reflection of reality. What we believe is simply a product of our experience and education, our conditioned habits of thought, our general level of awareness, and the workings of our brains—all of which are highly subjective. One of the first things I do for my patients who have serious health problems is to challenge what they hold dear. I help them deconstruct and then reconstruct their belief systems. |

Chemopreventive Effects: Eugenol a component of clove oil, was found to be antimutagenic in the Ames Salmonella assay system against tobacco extract (Sukumaran & Kuttan, 1995). In a separate study, methanol extracts from clove inhibited cell growth and induced differentiation of myeloid leukemia cell lines into macrophages. The active ingredients were found to be oleanolic acid and crategolic acid. Both displayed optimum activity at a concentration of 20 micromolar. |

 Widespread rockfall and geotechnical problems with human infrastructure are likely to be recurrent consequences of warming permafrost in rock walls due to predicted climatic changes,' Haeberli and his colleagues warn. 'The extreme summer of 2003 and its impact on mountain permafrost may be seen as a first manifestation of these projections.'
As mountain slopes thaw out and fail, whole towns and villages will be at risk of destruction in the Alps and other mountain regions. |

| Modest benefits of fish and/or fish oil consumption also have been observed in regard to nonfatal MI, delayed progression of atherosclerosis, recurrent ventricular tachyarrhythmias, and postangioplasty restenosis [102].
Several large epidemiologic studies have demonstrated EPA and DHA intakes of 250-500 mg/day yield significant reductions in CHD mortality and sudden death [102]. Researchers have suggested that there is a threshold of effect where intakes above 900 mg/day do not elicit a greater decrease in risk [93, 102, 103]. |

 Phenol: Sometimes, for recurrent ingrown toenail or for infections, after the nail is clipped a chemical, phenol, is applied to kill the nail bed so that the nail never regrows.
See a specialist: Your doctor may refer you to a specialist for treatment of an ingrown toenail if you have peripheral vascular disease, compromised wound healing such as occurs in diabetes, or a condition that requires blood-thinning medication.
Anti-inflammatories: Complications of the procedure are very rare, but these may include mild pain within the first 24 hours. |
| Since this condition falls into a chronic rather than acute category (vitiligo is subject to recurrent flare-ups that do not resolve themselves and is a progressive problem), it is more appropriate to seek treatment from a homeopathic practitioner rather than attempting to manage the situation yourself with homeopathic self-help measures. Your practitioner will be able to prescribe at what is called a constitutional level, which involves much more than simply treating your skin condition in isolation. |

| If you have recurrent attacks, it is important to isolate the trigger. Triggers and irritants can include a foreign body in the eye, such as a piece of grit, dirt, or dust, an allergy or hayfever, an intolerance to dairy products or other food, or chlorine in swimming pools. Antibiotic drops or ointment, or antihistamines if the conjunctivitis is an allergic reaction, are usually prescribed. |
| A more established tendency to recurrent bouts of moderate to severe conjunctivitis will require treatment from a trained homeopathic practitioner.
Prevention: Avoid spreading the infection by keeping your wash cloth, towel, and makeup separate. Also make a point of washing your hands every time you touch your eyes.
Belladonna: Use this remedy at the first sign of inflammation, heat, and redness. When this remedy is appropriate, symptoms always develop quickly and dramatically. Pains feel throbbing and pounding, while the affected eye feels hot and dry. |
| Styes can spread easily from eye to eye, and they are often recurrent. It is also common to get several styes at once because of cross infection. If you develop a stye it is important not to touch your eyes, especially if you haven't washed your hands, as there is a risk of spreading the condition. There is no obvious reason for people to get styes, but triggers include being rundown and having a depressed immune system, which lowers your body's resistance to infection. Some people are more susceptible to styes than others, and repeated flare-ups may sometimes indicate diabetes. |
