Causes Severe vitamin D deficiency can make a person more susceptible to skin problems and infections. Other internal factors include low immunity, fungal or yeast infestation, bacterial or viral infection, digestive problems, poor diet, inadequate liver function and drinking alcohol. External factors include exposure to toxic chemicals and metals through cosmetics, cleaning products, detergents and […]

Causes  Scleroderma is an autoimmune condition, where the immune system attacks the connective tissue beneath the skin and in other parts of the body. Fibrosis, the thickening and scarring of connective tissue, which is a primary characteristic, is caused by inflammation. The circulation problem, Raynaud’s, can lead on to this disease developing. Having a close […]

Causes  This condition sometimes runs in families, indicating that certain combinations of genes may make a person more susceptible to being affected. Symptoms of Schizophrenia can be induced temporarily by taking the hallucinogenic drug Lysergic Acid Diethylamide (LSD). Consuming wheat can contribute towards neurological problems because the gluten it contains can damage the bowel and […]

Causes  Some people may be more likely to suffer from rheumatic diseases because of a genetic link and family history of the condition. Alternatively, they may have simply subjected the affected joint to too much wear and tear. Infection, injury and excess weight can contribute to the strain on the joints. Hormonal imbalance or an […]

Causes  Pyroluria, or pyrrole disorder, occurs when many chemicals called pyrroles are produced in the body and attach themselves to nutrients such as zinc, manganese and vitamin B-6, preventing these vital substances from being used by the body. In time, this can result in severe deficiencies. This disorder is also referred to as haemopyrollactamuria (HPU). […]

Causes  Parkinson’s Disease occurs as a result of the cells that produce the neurotransmitter dopamine being destroyed. Some people may be more likely to develop this condition because of their genetics, as it can sometimes run in families. Damage to the brain occurs when a person has a stroke or another condition affecting the brain. […]

Causes  Temporary pain may occur as a result of an illness or injury, while lasting pain tends to be a symptom of a long-term health condition. Dysfunctions in the nervous system may cause people to suffer from extreme and sometimes unexplained pain. Central Pain Syndrome can develop even years after an injury or other damage […]

Causes  Nervous diseases may have been triggered by a variety of factors such as poor nutrition, injury or infection. Certain conditions may have a genetic link and be caused by mutated genes. Some come about due to the way that the nervous system develops; cerebral palsy occurs when there has been some form of damage […]

Causes  Muscular dystrophy is triggered by a genetic mutation that affects muscle fibres and compromises the proper function of the muscles. The condition is often inherited from one or both parents who either have or are carriers of the gene. Sometimes, muscular diseases seem to develop without there being any family history of myopathy. Endocrine […]

Causes  Multiple sclerosis is an inflammatory autoimmune disease where the immune system destroys the myelin sheath, which is a protective tissue around the nerves in the central nervous system, compromising nerve function. When antigens have a similar structure to healthy proteins in the body, the immune system can trigger a response against the invading proteins […]
