Henoch-Schonlein Purpura is a disease that inflames small blood vessels and causes a spotty rash on your skin. It is an autoimmune disease that causes inflammation of blood vessels in the skin, bowel, kidneys and joints that causes blood vessels to leak. The disease is also named IgA Vasculitis as the IgA antibody causes small blood vessels to bleed. The complications of Henoch-Schonlein Purpura include raised purplish rash on lower legs and buttocks, abdominal pain, bowel obstruction and joint pain. The kidney may be damage in rare cases. Although the disease may happen at any age, children (2-6 years) are more susceptible to this disease. The recovery of this disease is easy in children while it tends to be more severe in adults. The condition usually makes full recovery within a few weeks on its own. A small percentage of patients may develop kidney disease.

Causes 

Henoch-Schonlein Purpura is caused when some of the body's small blood vessels become inflamed. But the reason for this is still unknown. Some researchers claim that it may happen when the body's immune system acts improperly in the body. However, the malfunction of the immune system can be triggered by some infections or other factors. More than half of the patients who developed the disease had upper respiratory infections such as cold or flu. Other triggers may -

• Allergies 

• Chickenpox

• Measles 

• Insects bite

• Certain vaccines 

• Certain food reaction 

• Genetic predisposition 

Symptoms 

The most common symptom of the disease is rash (purpura). But one may have some other symptoms like joint pain, belly pain, muscle aches, and headache and anyone who has kidney disease may have symptoms like blood in urine.

Some common symptoms are- 

• Purpura (rash)

• Arthritis 

• Belly pain

• Blood in urine 

• Persistent kidney disease 

• Bloody stool

• Joint pain and swelling 

• Proteinuria 

• Fever 

• headache 

• Scrotal edema in the body

• Anemia in prolonged case

• Systemic inflammation.

Why Diet Plan?

A well-balanced diet can manage the symptoms of the disease. An unhealthy diet may trigger infections. So a patient should be aware of taking a healthy diet to manage the disease well and should adopt a balanced diet.

Haily-Haily Disease was first described by the Haily brothers in 1939. It is also called benign chronic pemphigus. Pemphigus is a general term that is used to describe a broad group of rare autoimmune disorders. Autoimmune disorders are those that occur when the body's immune system attacks its body parts or tissues mistakenly. However, Haily-Haily disease is not an autoimmune disease. It is a genetic disorder and usually appears in early adulthood. The gene variant responsible for this disease is ATP2C1.

What Causes The Disease?

Haily-Haily disease is caused by a mutation in the ATP2C1 gene. The gene contains information for producing protein (hSPCA1) that appears to be particularly important for functioning keratinocytes. The hSPCA1 protein also acts as a calcium (Ca++) pump in the cell. Calcium ion helps cells to stick together. When the calcium pump does not act properly, the stickiness of cells gets broken and cells become unable to keep foreign invaders out of the body. As a result, affected cells cause the epidermis to become fragile and it can't tolerate minor trauma. The skin becomes damaged with blisters and erosions. The reason behind the mutation of the protein is still unclear. However, it is understood that the mutation of the protein causes limitation to store adequate calcium. The absence of calcium ions in the affected area is the reason behind the disease. Recent studies state that Haily-Haily disease and Grover's disease show effects in a similar structural system. 

Who Is At The Risk?

Both men and women can be affected equally by Haily-Haily disease. About 1 out of 50,000 people are affected in the general population.

Treatment 

Haily-Haily disease is a chronic disease with no cure. Current therapeutic strategies aim to settle disease flares, manage symptoms and improve patient's condition. When medication is required, a combination of systemic and topical medications is incorporated. Topical and systemic medications can be employed to help:

• Reduce inflammation and itching

• Fight against bacterial and fungal infections 

• Reduce skin lesions 

• Reduce flaming at the affected skin

Natural Treatments For Haily-Haily Disease 

An important consideration about Haily-Haily disease is that there is no known cure for this disease. So natural treatment focuses on preventing further complications, managing symptoms and improving patient's condition. Some treatment ideas are given to experience physical improvement:

- Use Aloe vera Oil on the affected area. This will reduce your inflammation and irritation by giving you a soothing effect. 

- Apply Coconut Oil on the affected skin. It has antibacterial and antifungal properties that will save you from infections. Besides, it works as a moisturizing agent that keeps your affected skin smooth.

- Lose extra Fats.

Follow the doctor's advice to have more control over the disease. 

Dercum's disease, also known as Adiposis Dolorosa, is a rare disorder characterized by the development of painful subcutaneous adipose tissue (Lipomas). This fatty growth appears under the skin with different size, multiplicity and may appear in various localizations all over the body. The formation of fatty growth generally localized at the upper and lower portion of the body, mostly on neck, face, scalp, upper arms and upper legs. The lumps may cause severe pain and weakness.

Who Is At The Risk?

Doctors found no strong evidence of what causes Decrum's disease. However, some researchers believe that it might be an autoimmune disorder. Possibly, the disease can be gained genetically. Children are less susceptible to this disease. Mid-aged (age 40-60) persons show up this disease in most of the cases. Statistics show that women are affected 20-30 times more by this disease.

Common Symptoms 

Symptoms typically varies depending upon the severity of the disease. Symptoms revolves according to the type of the disease. Generally, the disease can be characterized by four types or stages. These include -

• Type 1- also known as generalized diffusion form

• Type 2- also known as generalized nodular form

• Type 3- also known as localized nodular form

• Type 4- also known as Juxta-articular form

As the disease causes extra weight gain, fatigue and weakness are two prominent symptom of the disease. Some more symptoms include: 

• Obesity 

• Pain

• Mental disturbance 

• Fatty masses

• Tiredness 

• Headache 

• Depression 

How To Get Rid The Disease 

There is no particular treatment method of this disease. But the doctor may suggest -

1. Surgery: Surgery may help one to lose some extra masses by removing fatty growths. But the fatty growth may develop further after the surgery.

2. Medications: Some medications may help to prevent extra water deposition in the affected area. Painkillers might be induced to reduce pain.

3. Regular Exercise: Regular Exercise helps to maintain a sound body and helps to keep us energetic. It can help the patients to keep away from depression and fatigue.

4. Healthy Diet: Maintaining a healthy diet helps the patients to have more control over the disease. Natural sources of nutrients can be a good option to tackle the disease. 

Diet Plan For Dercum's Disease 

A good diet may not fully erase the disease, but it can prevent the disease from getting worsen.

Food's To Avoid

- Processed Food: Processed food containing excess carbohydrates, starches, fats.

- Alcohol 

- Sugar product and sugary drinks 

- Junk food

Other sources are eggs, yogurt, milk, cod liver oil, kiwi fruit, papaya, avocados, orange etc. Omega-3 Fatty Acids play a role in the reduction of inflammation.

- Fermented Foods: Fermented foods can be taken for anti-inflammatory benefits.

- Green Leafy Vegetables: These are highly nutritious rich in antioxidants that may help maintain overall health and reduce inflammation.

- Green Tea: Can burn fat that may help to limit lipoma growth 

- Antioxidant Rich Foods: Some highly antioxidant containing foods are barries, nuts and seeds, whole grains, sea food, liver, broccoli, spinach, carrots etc. These can help promote lymph flow and reduce water retention in the affected site.

- Foods Containing Vitamin B: They can be essential to improve mood and physical activity by keeping body energy level stable.

- Protein Rich Products: Lean meat & eggs are grat source of protein. Proteins are responsible for muscle building and can reduce extra fat.

- Non Starchy Vegetables, Herbs

- Whole Grains

- Caffeine 

- Healthy Fats

- Low Glycemic Fruits like Barries, Apple, Pears, Grapefruit, Apricots, Plums etc.

The diet plan mentioned above can play a great role to help manage symptoms associated with Dercum's disease. It can help maintain overall health and reduce the disease to become worse. It can be essential to tackle the disease properly.

Fever Celiac Disease is not a disease in fact. Generally, Fever is not a symptom of celiac disease but it may occur as an obscure manifestation of celiac disease. 

How Can Fever Be e a Symptom of a Disease?

Fever itself is not a disease but a temporary rise in body temperature than normal. Fever may usually occur because of any abnormal internal body changes. This might be because of inflammation, autoimmune disease or maybe when the body is fighting off viral or bacterial infections. Besides, fever may also occur because of vaccination. Even it may arise as a reaction to certain medications. Whenever the human body notices these situations, it raises the body temperature and signals our nervous system to take particular actions. Our normal body temperature is 98.4°F.

Symptoms of Fever

• Body shivering and feeling cold

• Headache 

• Feeling exhausted 

• Bitter taste 

• Sweating 

• Muscle aches

Celiac Disease 

Celiac disease is a genetically gained autoimmune disease. It occurs due to the ingestion of gluten products. Generally, some ready meals like cakes, bread and pasta are common sources of gluten. It's a barely curable disease. However, only 25-30% of people can manage to diagnose this disease. The complexity is, that the disease may develop new & severe stages if not diagnosed earlier. 

Common Symptoms Include 

• Diarrhoea 

• Stomach aches

• Constipation 

• Fatigue 

• Nausea and vomiting 

• Abdominal pain

• Gas 

How Fever Manifests the Celiac Disease?

As mentioned earlier, celiac disease is an autoimmune disease. An autoimmune disease is a condition where the body's immune system can not recognize a foreign particle properly and mistakenly attacks the body's healthy, functioning parts or tissues. In the case of celiac disease, the body immune system mistakenly finds the gluten as a foreign particle and attacks it which causes inflammation and eruption in the small intestine. The reason for this behavior of the immune system is unknown but it is a genetically gained disfunction. However, as many autoimmune attack causes inflammation, sweating and heat generation in the affected area most of the time, it may also increase the body temperature leading to fever as the indication of a disease. Similarly, celiac disease also may cause fever as an indication of the disease.

Iselin's Disease 

Iselin's disease is often referred to as Iselin's osteochondritis of the foot. The disease usually affects growing adolescents(from 8 to 14) who are physically active. The disease manifests as inflammation or irritation that attacks the growth plate of the fifth metatarsal bone of the foot. Iselin's disease can cause the bone to become swollen, inflamed, or even baked. The fifth metatarsal bone is a large bone on the outermost side of the foot that plays an important role in weight bearing and balance. As a result, people affected by this disease suffer from problems in carrying or balancing the body weight. Adults can also be affected by this disease.

If affected by the disease, it recovers on its own. It is not a long-term illness and does not require surgery. However, it can cause a lot of suffering if the disease occurs.

Causes of Iselin's Disease 

There are no specific causes behind Iselin's disease. However, the disease can occur during the rapid growth spurt of puberty. This disease can also occur due to excessive pressure on the foot, especially on the fifth metatarsal bone. This can be caused by repetitive stress on the foot while playing sports. Some biomechanical factors such as defective bone formation in the foot can cause this disease. The disease can also be genetic. After all, the disease is a multifactorial disease.

Symptoms 

There are not many specific symptoms of the disease. However, some common signs that indicate the disease have been mentioned. There may be pain in the affected area, tenderness to touch, swelling of the affected area, discomfort during weight bearing or heavy activities, tightness of the affected area, difficulty in moving the legs, etc.

Diagnosis

 is a combination of clinical evaluation. In this case the doctor will check the patient's past medical history and genetic history. Moreover, the type of disease will be diagnosed by considering the swelling, tenderness, pain of the affected area, especially around the fifth metatarsal bone. In some cases, the doctor may suggest an X-ray, but the X-ray may not fully reveal the origin and exact cause of the pain.

Treatment

Treatment of this disease can usually be done at home. Usually no surgery or medication is needed. In this case, it is possible to eliminate the severity and symptoms of this disease with adequate care and maintenance. Some common methods that can be followed to get relief from this disease are discussed.

This disease can be cured by taking adequate rest and avoiding weight bearing work. This will reduce the pressure on the metatarsal bone of the foot and allow the affected bone to recover faster. Compression bands can be used to relieve bone swelling problems. Applying ice to the affected area will relieve pain and inflammation. Ice should be used for short periods of time, especially after physical activity. Elevating the foot in the rest time will reduce the swelling and relax the affected area. Comfortable and loose shoes should be worn for the feet so that no extra pressure is felt on the feet. Some OTC drugs such as acetaminophen or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) may also be prescribed. If these approaches are followed properly, the disease can be easily cured.

Hape, sometimes referred to as Rape, is a form of sacred traditional medicine found in South America, particularly in the Amazon rainforest. It is the significant bearer and bearer of the traditions and culture of some ethnic groups. This medicine is still part of the traditions of   Katukina, Yawanawa, Kaxinawa, Nukini, Kuntanawa, Apurinã, Ashaninka and many other ethnic groups. There are various opinions on the use of Hapa medicine. However, there is evidence to support its consumption.

Preparation of Hape Medicine 

Its preparation is prepared by skilled tribals following certain procedures in a long process. Its preparation methods may vary from tribe to tribe, but general preparation methods are discussed here.

First, the necessary leaves, bark, other necessary parts of the tree are collected. Wood ash and some other ingredients are added to these ingredients as required. After all the ingredients are collected they are allowed to dry in the sun and dried. Once all the ingredients are dried they are crushed. They are crushed into a perfectly uniform shape by a special type of crushing machine.

When all are evenly powdered, a certain amount of tobacco is mixed with them. This tobacco is not like the tobacco available in the market. They are cultivated and cared separately for the purpose of making hape medicine. When tobacco is mixed, other necessary ingredients are added to it. Sometimes fragrances are also added to make the mixture more attractive and useful.The tribal people pray to their deity during preparation to make the mixture of excellent quality. They believe their prayer will make the medicine more energetic, more resistant to disease and of better quality.

Prepared mixtures are stored in proper containers to avoid exposure to moisture and other harmful substances.

How To Take Hape Medicine 

This medicinal mixture is taken through a tube with two ends, which looks a bit like a V shape. According to the traditional rules, one supplies these medicine powders at one end of the pipe and the consumer takes the powders. These medicinal powders are consumed by inhalation through the nostrils. But in this case some rules are followed. Since tobacco is also part of the mixture, it should be taken in controlled and proper amounts. However, its consumption method may be different depending on the tribe.

Benefits

Its health benefits are largely theoretical and mostly based on tribal beliefs. There are many positive and negative theories about this medicine. However, it is good to keep in mind that there are some scientific limitations to its health benefits. Its usage and beliefs vary from tribe to tribe. However, here are some of the common health benefits of hape medicine discussed:

• Some of the herbal ingredients in Hape Medicine provide respiratory support. 

• Certain plant ingredients are believed to have antimicrobial properties. 

• This medicine is believed to have analgesic properties. 

• This drug is believed to have a relaxing role, used to reduce stress.
