Nearly everyone in the world has suffered with a headache at least once in their lifetime some more than the others. Headaches can be mild, severe and disabling.

There are several types of headaches with different causes here are some of them:

1. Cheese especially aged cheeses; it is an amino acid tyrosine in it which can trigger migraine. Keeping a migraine notebook can help you identify the triggers.
   
2. Strong Odours can lead to Migraine such as perfumes, chemicals, paint, bleach, fried foods, and smoke.
   
3. Ponytail headache syndrome especially in people suffering from Fibromyalgia as their skin can be very sensitive to pain.
   
4. Alcohol: sometimes half an hour after taking it or the day after the hangover, leading to cluster headaches and can be a frequent trigger of migraine.
   
5. Skipping a meal or if you are dieting or fasting, when your body glucose becomes low.
   
6. Eye strain, especially if you have vision problems or if you have been looking at your computer screen or phone screen for prolonged periods. If that seems to be a trigger for your headaches, then it’s time to visit your optician or doctor and get your eyes tested.

Micro-immunotherapy can be successfully used as a supportive therapy for diseases which are the consequence of imbalance in our immune system.

The main object is to restore and correct the functioning of our immune system. Using Serology and other blood tests one can monitor the progress of the treatment.

Here are some examples of the applications of Micro-immunotherapy medications:

1. Auto-immune diseases – Rheumatoid arthritis, Fibromyalgia, Hashimoto thyroiditis
   
2. Infections - Viral infections (CMV, EBV, Viral Hepatitis, Herpes Simplex), Bacterial infections, Parasitic infections, Fungal infections.  Micro-immunotherapy can help the immune system detect these infective agents and help control their multiplication within the body.
   
3. Disorders of bones and joints – Arthrosis, Inflammatory conditions, Periodontitis, Osteoporosis
   
4. Neurological disorders - Age-related memory disorders, Parkinsons, Chronic stress, Depression.  Micro-immunotherapy seeks to regulate the immune response and optimally modulate the inflammation and contributes to correcting the function of the nervous system.
   
5. Allergies: Allergies are an exaggerated reaction of our immune system triggered by substances such as dust, pollen etc. that for the majority of the population are harmless. Micro-immunotherapy seeks to reduce and help correct the exaggerated response, and helps the individual to better tolerate the allergens.

Micro-immunotherapy medicines are in capsule form and numbered for convenience and compliance and they are compatible with other medicines. The usual dose is once daily before breakfast.

Psoriasis is caused when skin cells multiply 10 times faster than normal, and these cells, when they reach the surface of the skin and die, give the typical white scaly appearance of this condition. There are several types of Psoriasis, depending on the signs and symptoms, from Plaque Psoriasis to Pustular, Guttate, Inverse and Erythrodermic.

It can spread to fingernails and toenails, and also affect the joints which is appropriately called Psoriatic Arthritis and up to 30% of people with Psoriasis could have joint involvement.

Psoriasis is an uncomfortable and irritating disease which can be difficult to treat, it can come and go in crops or cycles over the lifetime and is not contagious.  There are medications and remedies to clear up the red patches and scales but there is no permanent cure. Some of the medications are not without side effects.

Some causes of Psoriasis and flare-ups:

• Emotional or physical trauma in about 80% of cases
  
• Chronic stress or acute stress such as death in the family/new job
  
• Strep infection
  
• Injury, especially to skin
  
• Certain medications such as some anti inflammatories like Ibuprofen, B.P. medicine
  
• Can run in families
  

Although Psoriasis is irritating and embarrassing, help is available.

Dr Bhatti introduces for the very first time in Ireland Micro-immunotherapy for treating psoriasis and many other immunity related conditions.

According to the American Institute of Cancer Research, your plate should contain two thirds plant-based foods and one third animal protein as a cancer-fighting tool.

Here are some foods which contain some cancer-fighting nutrients:

• Fruits and vegetables, the more colourful the better they are at preventing and fighting this disease.
  
• Whole grains, breakfast cereals fortified with B vitamins.
  
• Folate and carotenoid-rich foods such as beans, asparagus, eggs, spinach, sunflower seeds, lettuce, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, Brussels sprouts, kale.
  
• Tomatoes, the fresher the better, but even the processed tomato sauce and tomato juice may help fight cancer.
  
• Green tea is a strong contender but further research is ongoing.
  
• Purple and red grapes contain an antioxidant called Resveratrol with some inflammation-fighting properties. Some scientists believe that inflammation might be a trigger for cancer, however, this remains inconclusive.
  
• Other fruits such as oranges, melons, blueberries and strawberries are a good source of vitamins and folate.
  
• Water may protect you against bladder cancer as it may help dilute the concentration of cancer-causing substances in the bladder.
  
• Turmeric is an exotic Indian spice with curcumin as a main ingredient with a potential to fight cancer, research is ongoing.
  
• Other foods and spices with health-giving properties such as ginger, garlic, cinnamon, nuts, flaxseed, olive oil, fish, peas, beans, lentils, squash and whole foods.
