		<description><![CDATA[Migraine is complex.
At least migraine seems complex &#8211; because we don&#8217;t know what causes it.
But we&#8217;re making progress. There is an emerging consensus about what&#8217;s important in migraine &#8211; and what&#8217;s not important. So in this brief summary we&#8217;ll stick to what most experts think are the important parts.

		<description><![CDATA[Inflammation can be good or bad &#8211; appropriate or excessive. Unless otherwise indicated, when used here the word “inflammation” means bad or excess inflammation – the kind that results in disease – not the kind that protects us from infections and assists in healing.

		<description><![CDATA[Let's take a look at a recent publication that briefly reviews curcumin for autoimmune disease.

We'll see that curcumin (an active ingredient in turmeric,) is recognized as safe, and that it has recently been shown to be effective against several serious conditions in human and/or animal studies. 

That sounds promising. But your doctor will never have a chance to prescribe it for you. Why might that be? ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The origins of aspirin date back over 3500 years. The Eberus papyrus (a collection of medicinal recipes dating back to the middle of the second millennium BC) describes an infusion of dried myrtle leaves used to ease the pain of rheumatism and for back problems. Juice extracted from the bark of willow trees was later used by Hippocrates, the celebrated ‘father of medicine', in the fifth century BC to ease pain and fevers. Both of these preparations contain salicylic acid, the precursor of modern aspirin.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You probably know, or at least once knew, that "scurvy" is the name given to the disease caused by vitamin C deficiency.  You might even have heard the story of how a ship's surgeon performed "the first clinical trial" as a means of discovering that, yes, scurvy results from a lack of fresh fruits - and we'll get to that in a moment. But before we do, I need to convince you just how bad - how really, really bad scurvy was.]]></description>

A number of your troops are beginning to show signs of illness. Some are losing their teeth. Many have bright red patches on different parts of their bodies. What little hair they have left shows a distinct 'corkscrew' pattern. Many are too weak to get out of bed. One disease or many?]]></description>
