As research into the etiology (origin & cause) of mental illness continues and the rate of such illness continues to rise, studies like this one are linking various factors together to explain the growing epidemic. As with many health conditions, more than one trigger is needed to get the symptom train moving. Prior research had…
Searching for the root causes of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease requires a researcher to keep an open mind, including the possibility that a virus could be behind such disabling diseases. Researchers suspect from recent studies that head trauma could be waking up viruses like herpes simplex type 1 and varicella zoster (chickenpox…
While there was once a time long ago when smoking was promoted for everyone, eventually tobacco cigarettes were linked with adverse health outcomes for babies born to smoking moms.
