Non illustré. Mises à jour gratuites en ligne. Extrait : La nutrition Seignalet est un régime alimentaire promu par le D Jean Seignalet (1936-2003), qui estimait qu'il avait une action préventive ou bénéfique dans un grand nombre de maladies. Il préconise un retour à une nutrition de type ancestral. Son régime repose sur une approche essentiellement qualitative de la diététique, il écarte des aliments qu'il considère potentiellement nocifs pour l'organisme humain : les aliments cuits à haute température et aussi, entre autres, le blé et les produits laitiers, et privilégie les aliments biologiques. Cette méthode nutritionnelle est indifféremment appelée par l'auteur « régime ancestral », « régime hypotoxique » ou « alimentation de type originel ». Ce régime est inspiré de la diète paléolithique, de l'instinctothérapie et du régime Kousmine. Les mécanismes d'action proposés par l'auteur pour expliquer les pathogénies liées à certains aliments et l'efficacité de leur suppression ne sont pas prouvés scientifiquement. Jean Seignalet, pionnier de la transplantation rénale en Languedoc-Roussillon fut orienté vers la nutrition par ses recherches en immunologie. Il élabora des théories sur les relations entre l'alimentation et l'apparition de diverses pathologies. Dans sa pratique clinique, il a testé ces théories sur ses patients en leur proposant un modèle nutritionnel qu'il qualifie d'hypotoxique. Après 230 publications en langues française et anglaise, dont 78 internationales pour ses travaux sur l'histocompatibilité et un premier livre sur "Le...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ... Read more

Excerpt: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS or spastic colon) is a diagnosis of exclusion. It is a functional bowel disorder characterized by chronic abdominal pain, discomfort, bloating, and alteration of bowel habits in the absence of any detectable organic cause. In some cases, the symptoms are relieved by bowel movements. Diarrhea or constipation may predominate, or they may alternate (classified as IBS-D, IBS-C or IBS-A, respectively). IBS may begin after an infection (post-infectious, IBS-PI), a stressful life event, or onset of maturity without any other medical indicators. Although there is no cure for IBS, there are treatments that attempt to relieve symptoms, including dietary adjustments, medication and psychological interventions. Patient education and a good doctor-patient relationship are also important. Several conditions may present as IBS including celiac disease, Fructose malabsorption, mild infections, parasitic infections like giardiasis, several inflammatory bowel diseases, functional chronic constipation, and chronic functional abdominal pain. In IBS, routine...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=210596 ... Read more

Excerpt: Milk is an opaque white liquid produced by the mammary glands of mammals. It provides the primary source of nutrition for young mammals before they are able to digest other types of food.
