WELCOME TO Chronic Fatigue Research France, INC. NEWSLETTER OUR MISSION: Chronic Fatigue Research France Inc. is a non-profit organization maintained by sufferers of Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Our mission is to improve the quality of life for fellow sufferers, while increasing public, governmental and medical awareness of these diseases, through education. *************************************************************** A CHAT WITH THE EDITOR: Just for fun…. October is National Popcorn Poppin’ Month. From the Popcorn Board, Chicago Popcorn History – Anthropologists found popcorn kernels more than 3,000 years old that still popped. English colonists were introduced to popcorn at the first Thanksgiving feast. In the 1920’s, popcorn was banned at most movie theaters because it was considered too noisy. According to American movie theaters, more popcorn is sold during the showing of scary movies. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* On the health front- Popcorn is a source of carbohydrate energy and fiber. Carbohydrate is the best source of body fuel. Fiber is not used for energy, but is an important health factor, which is insufficient in most American diets. Soluble fiber plays a role in regulating hunger, cholesterol and blood sugar and insoluble is important in gastrointestinal health. Health and medical groups feel popcorn has nutritive value too! Popcorn is a wholesome, fun food, which aids digestion by providing necessary roughage. Health and medical associations regard popcorn as an excellent mealtime complement-sugar free, fat-free and low in calories. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Plain popcorn itself is a healthy, low-calorie, whole grain food with four grams of fiber per three cups. Air-popped corn has only 20 calories per cup so you can scarf down five guilt-free cups for only 100 calories. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Nurses have been given an insight into living as an elderly person. With popcorn in their shoes to simulate bunions and mobility problems the hospital staff at Delancey Hospital in Cheltenham have been learning first hand the difficulties of old age. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Heavenly Hash Popcorn 1 serving 1/4 cup butter 1 cup pecans, toasted 1 cup chocolate chips 6 cups popcorn, popped 4 cups miniature marshmallows In a heavy saucepan, put the butter, chocolate and pecans. For variations, you may wish to substitute butterscotch morsels or use bitter chocolate. White chocolate pieces in place of chips make a pretty white candy which can be colored and molded into shaped cake pans. Yogurt candy coating can also be used for a more piquant flavor. Happy Popping! Michelle, Editor If anyone would like a copy of the last issue, please email M32764@aol.com and put "last issue" in the Subject line.

**Fibromyalgia and Growth Hormone Study We are presently conducting a study on treatment of Fibromyalgia patients with human growth hormone.

** Chronic Insomnia Shown to be a Medical Condition, Not Just Loss of Sleep Bethesda, MD, August 10, 2001 - New research shows that insomnia, the most commonly encountered sleep disorder, may be the results of a physiological problem, rather than just sleep loss. A study published in the August issue of the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism reveals that insomniacs suffer from a specific medical condition, http://www.endo-society.org/pubrelations/pressReleases/august_jcem_insomnia.cfm
** We may be prescribed drugs for our Fibromyalgia and/or CFS which could, in reality, worsen our symptoms by interfering with Stage IV (delta wave) sleep. Stage IV is that part of the sleep cycle when the brain helps repair the daily wear and tear of the body. If it is disturbed (and therefore shortened), we awake stiff, sore, and/or without feeling refreshed. Most of the Fibromyalgia research indicates that Stage IV sleep is implicated in causing and/or influencing our symptoms. http://web.tampabay.rr.com/lymecfs/drugs.htm

********************************************************************** A client brought a litter of golden retriever puppies to my veterinary "I didn't know they had to be baptized, too." ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* The Washington Post published a contest for readers in which they were asked to supply alternate meanings for various words. The following were some of the winning entries: ********************************************************************** In the past when treating a fibromyalgia client, both of us ended up frustrated and disappointed. Nothing they or I did provided a lasting, positive effect. At best, modalities such as hot packs, ultrasound and massage provided only temporary relief. When the client went into the gym and exercised, it would often turn out to be a one-time event. Afterward the client would go home to bed for two or three days to recover from the well-intentioned exercise therapy. When I began working with these clients in the aquatic environment, I hoped they could exercise without incurring the adverse reactions experienced on land. That did not happen. So began the problem solving … how to meaningfully intervene in an aquatic setting with the fibromyalgia client? http://www.atri.org/Fibroexcpt.htm ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Study Finds Aquatic Physical Therapy Viable Treatment for FM *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Why does Aquatic Physical Therapy work?
