Birmingham, England College Student Resolves his Geographic Tongue Problem After Internet search
(ContentDesk) October 21, 2005 -- Jon Askill a college student from Birmingham, England had suffered from Geographic Tongue for many years. Geographic Tongue is a disease that afflicts 194 million people worldwide. It generally causes bald patches with white rings on the tongue and can occasionally be painful.The medical establishment has generally washed their hands of the condition by classifying it as benign and saying that no treatment is necessary . Even the official medical
name Benign Migratory Glossitis tends to send researchers looking for more serious conditions to investigate.NORD the National Organization for Rare Diseases has classified Geographic Tongue as an Orphan disease meaning that there is very little (if any) research being done on this disease.Unfortunately, the name belies the suffering that individuals like Jon go through with this disease. In addition to the pain, there is social stigma as others are reluctant to become intimate with someone whose tongue looks so disgusting.
There is also mental anguish as sufferers wonder if there really is something seriously wrong with them. Many AIDS sufferers also have Geographic Tongue so people with Geographic Tongue may mistakenly believe that they are getting AIDS.Jon was relieved when he discovered a website at www.HealthyTongueSecrets.com that appeared to have the answer. Healthy Tongue Secrets contends that it is not a disease at all but a simple vitamin deficiency which explains why the medical establishment is having such difficulty finding a pathogen or other external cause for the problem.If Geographic Tongue truly is nutritional (rather than simply cosmetic as the medical establishment believes) it is important that it be resolved before major health issues arise from the deficiencies.Jon Askill and many others including Healthy Tongue Secrets founder Tim McMahon have found relief using simple vitamin therapy.

Alpha Lipoic Acid Lotion

A body exposed to free radicals becomes more susceptible to diseases such as diabetes and liver damage.

Although ALA is a naturally occuring anti-oxidant in the body, it is also gleaned and made from plant foods like tomatoes, spinach and brocolli, as well as beef, yeast, and kidneys. As is the case with many nutirents available on the market, ALA is not only a health supplement; it is also a cosmetic supplement.

Getting The Most Out of Dark Circle Cover-ups
There are many good things that can be said about the new crop of cosmetics that are match more closely the skin tone of people of varying skin tones and shades.
Yet, even with sophisticated cosmetics helping to keep us looking natural in the most severe light, it is still important to use foundation and concealers wisely. Concealers and foundations both work by covering up imperfections of the skin that we don't want people to see.
The difference between concealers and foundations is really a matter of degrees.
Foundations are designed to give all-over coverage while concealers are designed for use in small targeted areas, such as under the eyes or along the bridge of the nose.
The color of concealer one should pick is really a counter-intuitive process. We would tend to think that, as with foundation, we should pick a color of concealer
that is the same, or close to the color of your skin.
