Podcasts about ulcers

We're talking about toxicity today.I've been seeing several cases lately where toxicity plays a role, so I thought it was time to revisit the topic. In episode 53, I covered the definition of toxicity and what it means for your horse, so you can go back and listen to it after this episode for more details. Stay tuned as I share the signs to look out for.Understanding Toxicity in HorsesToxicity in horses often develops slowly and subtly through accumulated exposure to feed contaminants, environmental chemicals, medications, or poor-quality diets. Unlike sudden poisoning, this buildup can take years to show outwardly. Younger horses may appear healthy despite ongoing exposure, but as they age, resilience drops and health issues surface, usually from around age 12 onward.Early Warning SignsSubtle behavioral and physical changes often signal toxicity. These can include fatigue, dull eyes, reduced social engagement, depression, or anxiety. Appetite changes are also key clues- horses that suddenly become picky or disinterested in food may be reacting to gut irritation or inflammation. Paying attention to these small shifts helps catch toxicity before it escalates.Behavior and the Nervous SystemToxicity can impact the nervous system, leading to high anxiety and nervousness. While horsemanship helps build horses' confidence, chronic anxiety can point to underlying health issues or an internal imbalance. Ulcers and overactive immunity often accompany this state, as pain and inflammation trigger more stress in a self-perpetuating cycle.Inflammation Inflammation is one of the most common consequences of toxicity. It often presents as laminitis or joint stiffness, even when blood work looks normal. Laminitis is particularly revealing as hoof tissues react early to systemic inflammation. Many arthritic horses may actually be struggling with toxic buildup rather than structural degeneration, and they often improve after detoxification.The LiverThe liver detoxifies all chemicals entering the body, but chronic overload eventually leads to fatigue and dysfunction. As detoxification slows, toxins accumulate, affecting hormone balance, immune strength, and overall vitality. So, even when liver enzymes appear normal, the liver may still be under strain.The Gut–Toxicity ConnectionGut health is often the first to suffer. Long-term exposure to irritants, sugars, or intolerant feeds leads to inflammation, leaky gut, and cecal acidosis. A damaged intestinal lining allows toxins to circulate through the body, causing hives, laminitis, or chronic infections. Gut inflammation also prevents nutrient absorption.Nutrient DeficiencyToxicity compounds over time. Horses with chronic gut irritation or sugar-heavy diets often experience nutrient depletion because their inflamed intestines cannot absorb key minerals and vitamins. Common Physical SignsVisible indicators include dull or coarse coats, cracking or separating hooves, weepy eyes (often linked to liver dysfunction), nasal discharge, and reduced energy. These may seem mild or age-related, but they could reflect systemic imbalance from long-term toxicity.Reversing the EffectsImprovement begins with removing toxins from feed, water, and the environment. Cleaning up the diet allows the liver, kidneys, and gut to recover. Even older horses can regain their vitality after reducing their toxicity and with good nutrition.Long-Term PreventionReducing toxicity is one of the most effective ways to prevent disease. By being mindful of feed quality, ingredient lists, and exposure sources, owners can dramatically improve their horses' health spans and overall...

It's a common misconception that stomach ulcers are caused by emotional upset, psychological distress, or spicy food. Yet no convincing study has ever demonstrated that these factors directly cause ulcer disease. So what does cause stomach ulcers? Rusha Modi explains how one doctor's famous (and dangerous) experiment led us to the answer.

Was this a replay of last night's Dodgers/Reds game? Dominant starting pitching, this time from Yoshinobu Yamamoto. Ulcer-inducing relief pitching, this time mostly at the hands of Emmet Sheehan. And an offensive explosion, this time fueled by Mookie Betts and his four hits. Oh, and a reliever who has struggled at times this year looked great closing out the game, this time Roki Sasaki. And just like last night, Los Angeles doubled the Reds' score, winning 8-4 to sweep the Wild Card Series and set up a date in Philadelphia with the A.L. East champion Phillies.

This week, we are diving into skin problems with horses. Skin problems are hard to ignore. They are right in your face, so they grab your attention instantly. Types of Skin Problems in HorsesSkin issues range from dry, flaky skin to severe allergic reactions. Horses may suffer from hives, sweet itch, infections like rain rot or mud fever, and chronic itchy skin. These conditions may appear as sudden, alarming outbreaks or develop into persistent, long-term struggles.Why Skin Problems Demand AttentionUnlike hidden health issues, skin problems are visible and alarming, often pushing owners to act quickly. Acute flare-ups can appear to be emergencies, and chronic flare-ups may frustrate owners when topical treatments and medications only provide temporary relief.Beyond the SurfaceThe skin is an organ and part of the immune system. When reactions occur externally, it is a sign of deeper imbalances, such as inflammation, immune dysfunction, or a toxin overload that can also affect internal systems.Digestive ProblemsDigestive problems often correlate with skin flare-ups. Ulcers, leaky gut, and poor liver function can raise histamine levels, leading to hives, itching, and chronic skin irritation. When the liver and gut cannot properly eliminate toxins, issues frequently surface in the skin.The Role of HistaminesHistamine release is a natural immune response that can cause symptoms like swelling, itching, and hives. Horses with gut issues often produce excess histamine, making them more prone to skin outbreaks. Treating your horse only with antihistamines can suppress symptoms, but that does not solve the root cause.Diet and AllergensSome feeds can trigger skin reactions. Allergies or intolerances (such as to alfalfa) may take years to appear as acute symptoms. Long-term toxic buildup from feed, medication, or supplements can overload detox pathways and weaken skin health.Liver HealthThe liver plays a central role in detoxification. Over time, medications, poor nutrition, or stress can overwhelm the liver, leading to chronic skin problems. Supporting liver health is the key to sustainable recovery.TriggersHormone imbalances and stress can affect skin health. Stress-related cortisol and adrenaline spikes increase histamine production, sometimes also triggering ulcers and hives. Managing stress is critical for restoring balance.Long-Term SolutionsQuick fixes rarely last. Holistic management focuses on supporting digestion, detox pathways, nutrient balance, and emotional well-being. Owners may need to experiment and make gradual adjustments to find lasting solutions.Key TakeawaysSkin health reflects whole-body health. A methodical approach that addresses gut health, liver function, diet, hormones, and stress will lead to lasting improvements, whereas symptom-only treatments will keep horses stuck in recurring cycles.Links and resources:Connect with Elisha Edwards on her website Join my email list to be notified about new podcast releases and upcoming webinars.Free Webinar Masterclass: Four Steps to Solving Equine Metabolic Syndrome NaturallyRegister for my self-paced course, Resolving Equine Metabolic Syndrome...

Unfortunately, Roo has corneal ulcers again. Today's episode is an open and raw sharing of the thoughts and feelings of being a bunmom in situations like this. Even a problem as seemingly "minor" (compared to other health issues) can cause such a torrent of emotions. And seemingly "small" problems can still throw a wrench into the daily routine. It's not always easy being a bunparent. This is a glimpse into the deeper worries, anxieties, and reflections that I've been having - like a journal entry. It's also about the small joys, the tiny rays of sunshine - the little moments that are actually not so little at all. Perhaps you're going through something similar, perhaps you're anticipating something similar happening, or perhaps you're just curious. All are welcome into this open-hearted episode. We hope this episode is meaningful for you. Thank you, as always, for your love and support.

In this raw and honest episode of Man on Fire, host David explores the terrifying question that keeps many high‑performing men stuck: “If I change, what will I lose?” He shares his own journey from selling copy machines to becoming a chiropractor and later a men's mentor, exposing the ulcers and emptiness he felt when he stayed in roles that were safe but soulless. He discusses trading 150 friendships for 13 intimate ones, the difference between fear of failure and fear of success, and why playing small doesn't serve anyone. The conversation invites listeners to face the fire of transformation and ask themselves what they might lose—and whether that loss is real.

1. Although benign, skin tags are common in people with diabetes or prediabetes. Reverse diabetes by decreasing carbohydrates and increasing high-quality protein. 2. Itchy private parts are often caused by fungal overgrowth. Take vitamin D to strengthen your immune system and stop the itching. 3. Nighttime restlessness is related to vitamin B1 deficiency, typically caused by a high-carb diet. 4. Tingling or numbness in the toes or bottoms of the feet is a nerve problem. Benfotiamine, taken four times daily, can help correct this problem. 5. Bleeding gums are related to vitamin C deficiency.6. Chronic cough can be caused by a calcium deficiency or acid coming up the esophagus. 7. Carpal tunnel syndrome is often related to a vitamin B6 deficiency.8. Brittle nails are usually caused by a biotin deficiency. 9. Cold feet and hands signify that you need more iodine.10. Early morning problems such as leg cramps, migraines, and chest pain are related to magnesium deficiency. Take magnesium glycinate before bed as a remedy.11. Ulcers and gastritis result from zinc deficiency. Zinc carnosine is the best form of zinc for this problem.12. Nose bleeds are sometimes caused by high blood pressure, but can also be caused by a vitamin K1 or vitamin C deficiency.13. Chest pain or pain down the left arm or shoulder is related to a vitamin E deficiency. Tocotrienols are the best remedy for these symptoms.14. Raised bumps on the back of the arms are a classic vitamin A deficiency. Retinol, the active form of vitamin A, is only found in animal products such as liver, egg yolk, cheese, and cod liver oil.15. Sodium deficiency can cause fatigue, insomnia, and weak muscles. Increase your salt intake if you're experiencing these symptoms.16. Decreased libido is often caused by a zinc deficiency. Take 50 mg of zinc a few times daily to solve this problem.17. Dry, scaly skin is typically caused by too much omega-6 fat and not enough omega-3 fat. Increase your intake of cod liver oil, fish oil, and wild-caught sardines or salmon. 18. White dots on the nails are often caused by a zinc deficiency.

Sophie Auster is a singer-songwriter and released her first album at the age of sixteen. It featured her own lyrics and poems set to music by her father, Paul Auster. Sophie is his and Siri Hustvedt's only daughter and for a long time she struggled with the writer couple's fame and the fact that many people projected things on her. Yet with her warm, expressive voice and her melancholic and tender songs, she has long been a household name on the international indie music scene. Her song “Little Bird” won her the top prize at the John Lennon Songwriting Contest, and in Spain she was named “Singer of the Year” by Cosmopolitan Magazine in 2017. She attracted attention as an actress starting as a child, and most recently appearing in “The Zurich Affair”. She is currently on tour in Europe with her latest album “Milk for Ulcers”. For FREIHEIT DELUXE, Sophie and Jagoda met in the studio the day after Sophie's Barcelona concert - their encounter resulted in an unusually intimate conversation. Sophie talks about the memory of her father, the “ultimate defender of the family” and how much it means to be part of the “Blue Team” - in other words, to be one of the people who are where they are needed. Together with Jagoda, she reflects on how she has learned to embrace her family history instead of constantly separating herself from it. However, the great love of her parents and their inspiring relationship could not save her from some of the dangers she had to face alone as an adolescent. And finally, she describes to Jagoda in honest words what has been bothering her since the “Orange Man” returned to power in the United States… Here you can hear, how Sophie Auster finds freedom on stage (4:43) what kind of difficulties she faced during adolescence (12.16) what it feels like to have a baby and losing someone at the same time (29:37) which song she wrote for her dad (38:17) how she feels about being labelled “Indie” (47:44) the way she thinks artists should take a political stand (54:44) how come she picked music as her choice to become an artist (1:07:50) Sophie's revelation about her mysterious album title “Milk for Ulcers” (1:14:55) FREEDOM DELUXE with Jagoda Marinić is a Hessischer Rundfunk production in cooperation with the German Publishers and Booksellers Association.

Sophie Auster ist Singer-Songwriterin und veröffentlichte schon mit sechzehn ihr erstes Album. Darauf waren ihre eigenen Lyrics zu hören und vertonte Gedichte ihres Vaters: Paul Auster. Sophie ist seine und Siri Hustvedts einzige Tochter und sie haderte lange mit den großen Schatten des Schriftstellerpaares. Dabei ist sie mit ihrer warmen, ausdrucksstarken Stimme und ihren melancholisch-zarten Songs längst eine feste Größe in der internationalen Indie-Musikszene. Für ihren Song „Little Bird“ erhielt sie den Hauptpreis beim John Lennon Songwriting Contest, in Spanien wurde 2017 sie vom Cosmopolitan Magazine als „Singer of the year“ ausgezeichnet. Als Schauspielerin machte sie schon als Kind auf sich aufmerksam, zuletzt zu sehen war sie in „The Zurich Affair“. Derzeit ist sie auf Europa-Tour mit ihrem aktuellen Album „Milk for Ulcers“. Für FREIHEIT DELUXE trafen sich Sophie und Jagoda am Tag nach Sophies Barcelona-Konzert im Studio - aus ihrer Begegnung entstand ein ungewöhnlich intimes Gespräch. Sophie erzählt von der Erinnerung an ihren Vater, den „ultimativen Beschützer der Familie“ und davon, wieviel es bedeutet, im „Blue Team“ zu sein - also zu den Menschen zu gehören die dort sind, wo sie gebraucht werden. Gemeinsam mit Jagoda reflektiert sie, wie sie gelernt hat, frei von ihrer Familiengeschichte zu erzählen, statt sich permanent davon abzugrenzen. Doch die große Liebe ihrer Eltern und ihre inspirierende Beziehung konnte sie dennoch nicht vor einigen Gefahren bewahren, denen sie sich als Heranwachsende allein stellen musste und von denen sie in diesem Podcast erzählt. Sophie spricht außerdem über die Herausforderung, Mutter und Künstlerin zu sein. Und schließlich beschreibt sie Jagoda mit ehrlichen Worten, was sie umtreibt, seit der „Orange Man“ in den USA wieder an der Macht ist… Hier hört ihr, wie Sophie Auster auf der Bühne Freiheit findet (4:43) welche Schwierigkeiten sie in der Pubertät hatte (12:16) wie es sich anfühlt, ein Baby zu bekommen und gleichzeitig jemanden zu verlieren (29:37) welches Lied sie für ihren Vater geschrieben hat (38:17) wie sie sich mit dem „Indie“-Nische fühlt (47:44) ob Künstler ihrer Meinung nach politisch Stellung beziehen sollten (54:44) wie sie sich für die Musik als künstlerische Ausdrucksform entschied (1:07:50) Sophies Enthüllung über ihren mysteriösen Albumtitel „Milk for Ulcers“ (1:14:55) FREIHEIT DELUXE mit Jagoda Marinić ist eine Produktion des Hessischen Rundfunks in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Börsenverein des deutschen Buchhandels.

This week, we are taking a closer look at equine sarcoids. Equine sarcoids are a common issue that can be concerning for horse owners. These skin growths are neither serious nor life-threatening, but they can be unsightly and sometimes tricky to manage. They tend to vary in appearance and location, and in some cases, can go unnoticed until they become more visibly pronounced.What Are Equine Sarcoids?Sarcoids are skin tumors that account for 36 to 40% of equine tumors. They can be flat, raised, crusty, weepy, or ulcerated, and can grow and spread at different rates. There are two main types: dry sarcoids and ulcerated (weepy and inflamed) sarcoids. They are generally benign and don't spread to internal organs, but they can cause serious problems if they obstruct bodily functions like urination or defecation.Conventional vs. Holistic ApproachesWith traditional veterinary treatments, which include cutting, freezing, or surgically removing sarcoids, recurrence is common. Holistic practitioners aim to understand why the sarcoids appeared in the first place. Removing growths will not solve the internal imbalance that allowed them to develop.Potential Causes and TriggersSarcoids, which may originate from the bovine papillomavirus, behave like viruses, flaring up with stress, toxicity, and nutritional deficiencies. Horses with compromised immune systems due to anxiety, malnutrition, or chronic stress are more prone to developing sarcoids. Events like moving farms, losing a herd mate, accidents, poor-quality hay, or vaccines can act as triggers.Chemical Toxicity and VaccinesSarcoids could result from exposure to chemicals. Sprays on hay, some feeds, and vaccines can attack horses' immune systems. When their immune system is under strain, dormant viruses can activate, allowing sarcoids to spread rapidly. Sarcoids often tend to appear soon after vaccinations, especially in compromised horses.Skin as an Elimination OrganThe skin acts as a pathway for the body to release toxins and reflect internal imbalances. When sarcoids appear on the skin, they are often signs of an internal issue.Malabsorption and Nutritional GapsA horse may seem to be getting good nutrition, yet still be malnourished if it does not absorb nutrients properly. Ulcers or chronic nervous system stress can interfere with their nutrient uptake and contribute to a weakened immune system.Environmental and Age FactorsAt around 15, horses often start showing signs of conditions that have been building silently for years. Chronic stress, aging, and accumulated exposure to harmful substances can contribute to immune dysfunction and tumor development.The Role of Detoxification and the LiverThe liver detoxifies chemicals, medications, and environmental toxins. If it is overburdened, the immune system suffers. Many horses show signs of liver strain if they have been on long-term medication or exposed to repeated vaccinations and chemical-laden feeds.Immune System and Pathogen LoadChronic issues like thrush, scratches, or recurrent parasite infections indicate a compromised immune system. Parasites, bacteria, viruses, mold, and fungi often coexist, increasing the toxic load and making it harder for horses to maintain internal balance.Using Nutritional TherapyNutritional therapy is a preferred holistic strategy. It involves using single nutrients in specific doses to clean up toxicity, correct imbalances, and support immune health. Antioxidants like selenium and vitamin C can help to detoxify chemicals and support liver function.Links and resources:Connect with Elisha Edwards on her

In this cutting-edge episode of Impact Theory, Tom Bilyeu takes center stage to confront one of the biggest questions of our era: can we actually trust the so-called "experts"? Drawing on riveting examples from history and his own journey as an entrepreneur, Tom dissects how expertise has been weaponized by elites, resulting in societal conformity—even when the experts turn out to be wrong. From the smoking doctors of the past to today's battles over pandemics, politics, and public policy, Tom lays out a provocative argument for why blind faith in authority is more hazardous than most realize. Tom invites listeners into a historical deep dive, exposing powerful stories like the persecution of Socrates and Galileo, the belittling of Linus Pauling, and the revolution started by Barry Marshall's rogue experiment.

Vaginal, penile, and other words that make Elliot laugh.

BUFFALO, NY - February 25, 2025 – A new #research paper was #published in Oncotarget, Volume 16, on February 18, 2025, titled “Leukopenia, weight loss and oral mucositis induced by 5-Fluorouracil in hamsters' model: A regenerative approach using electrospun poly(Lactic-co-Glycolic Acid) membrane." Researchers from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro and Brazilian Center for Research in Physics have investigated a novel approach to treating oral mucositis, a painful and debilitating side effect of chemotherapy. Led by first author and corresponding author Ana Chor, the study examined the effectiveness of an electrospun poly (Lactic-co-Glycolic Acid) (PLGA) membrane in promoting tissue regeneration in an animal model of chemotherapy-induced oral mucositis. The findings suggest that PLGA membranes, particularly when combined with the body's own healing cells, significantly accelerate the recovery process and reduce inflammation. This promising discovery could lead the way for improved treatments for cancer patients experiencing severe mouth ulcers during chemotherapy. Oral mucositis affects many cancer patients undergoing 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) chemotherapy, often leading to difficulty in eating, drinking, and speaking. Despite its prevalence, effective treatments remain limited. In this study, researchers applied electrospun PLGA membranes to 5-FU-induced ulcers in hamsters. Some of these membranes were infused with autologous mesenchymal cells—cells taken from the animal itself—to enhance the healing process. The study showed significant results, as ulcers treated with PLGA membranes containing autologous cells healed completely within six days, along with reduced inflammation and the formation of new blood vessels essential for tissue repair. While PLGA membranes without added cells also contributed to healing, the recovery process was slower. "This innovative approach holds significant therapeutic potential, as it utilizes the host's mesenchymal cells and nanotechnology tools to design a scaffold that mimics the organism's microenvironment." These findings highlight the potential of using bioengineered materials to treat chemotherapy-induced oral lesions. While further research is necessary before this approach can be tested in clinical settings, the study provides a strong foundation for future investigations. If successfully translated to human treatment, this technique could significantly improve the quality of life for cancer patients by offering a more effective solution for managing chemotherapy-related mouth ulcers.

Is it to be wondered at, that God should be disposed severely to punish that which earnestly wishes him not to be God, and strives to accomplish this with all its might? Sin opposes the divine nature and existence; it is enmity against God, and is not an idle enemy; it has even engaged in a mortal war with all the attributes of God.

Today, we're going to discuss the connection between your feet and health. The foot receives oxygen and nutrition from the heart through tiny capillaries. The following feet symptoms are also potential signs of diseases. 1. Peripheral neuropathy This shows up as numbness or burning in the feet due to low vitamin B1 (thiamine). Benfotiamine, a fat-soluble form of vitamin B1, may help. 2. Fingers or toes turn blue This can be related to an overactive sympathetic nervous system. This is often treated medically with calcium channel blockers. Magnesium is a natural calcium channel blocker and the primary regulator of calcium inside the cells. Magnesium glycinate is the most absorbable form of magnesium. 3. Foot cramps Foot cramps and charlie horses in the calves are among the earliest signs of magnesium deficiency. Try taking 400 to 800 mg of magnesium glycinate for several weeks to alleviate foot cramps. 4. Swollen feet Swelling of feet typically involves diabetes and excess sugar in the blood, which causes sodium and water retention. The solution is to remove sugar from the diet. 5. Discoloration of lower legs and feet This is often caused by a circulation problem. Deep vein thrombosis is a condition where you develop clots in the veins of the lower legs. This can cause fluid retention and discoloration of the lower legs and feet. 6. Big toe pain Pain in the big toe is usually a symptom of gout caused by too much uric acid. Decreasing oxalates in the diet can sometimes solve this problem. Magnesium can also help decrease oxalates. Ulcers on the foot can be caused by diabetes. Benfotiamine and a low-carb diet can help mitigate a diabetic or high blood sugar problem. Fungus or jaundice can cause discoloration around the nail bed. Splitting or curving toenails indicate nutritional deficiencies.

In this episode, we review the recommendations from the 2024 SCCM/ASHP stress ulcer prophylaxis guidelines and highlight three of the more recent landmark critical care trials investigating the role of stress ulcer prophylaxis. Key Concepts After 25 years, the stress ulcer prophylaxis guidelines have been updated by SCCM and ASHP. These guidelines make 13 recommendations in a PICO format. Three large, landmark randomized controlled trials (SUP-ICU, PEPTIC, and REVISE) have significantly contributed to the body of literature regarding stress ulcer prophylaxis. The SCCM/ASHP guidelines recommend stress ulcer prophylaxis in patients with coagulopathy, shock, chronic liver disease, and possibly in neurocritical care patients. They do not specifically recommend prophylaxis in mechanically ventilated patients; this is a controversial recommendation. The SCCM/ASHP guidelines equally prefer proton pump inhibitor (PPI) and histamine-2 receptor antagonists (H2RA) drug therapies given either intravenously or orally. The prophylaxis regimen should be continued until the indication for prophylaxis has resolved or the patient leaves the ICU. References MacLaren R, Dionne JC, Granholm A, et al.
