Uterine contraction can be a side effect of feverfew (which is why it's not a good idea for pregnant women to use it), and increased bleeding has been linked in some instances to use of feverfew. Of course there are other causes of increased menstrual bleeding that may have to be considered. It doesn't appear that there's good agreement on what dosage of feverfew is best for migraine prevention. I've seen figures ranging from 6.25 to 300 mg recommended, up to several times a day (or a few fresh leaves daily). See this site for more info. Migraines have a bunch of different triggers in different people, and while there are dietary and lifestyle alterations that are effective in many people, others don't respond well. The same goes for various vitamins and other supplements that have been the subject of encouraging reports in the literature. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is just one of these interventions, that has been looked at in a handful of small studies and has not been sufficiently validated as an effective therapy.

Aspergers & Autism were mentioned; IMO we've always had it; it's just that they can diagnose a name now. My friends son is diagnosed; I bet a million dollars her deaf hub has it too & it's more apparent now that the world has gotten so fast paced. They were able to function back in the day because life was simpler. As technology has grown; her hub has gotten more withdrawn. Schooling has changed as well. Kindergarten is nothing like it used to be; they're thrown into a new way of life & expected to be able to sit & work. Schools make it hard to not medicate an ADHD kid & depending on the school & child; they may also be on antipsychotics which will come with their own risks as the child grows. As for cancer & other things; I don't doubt environment plays a part. I've suspected dental xrays for a while. I think with some cancers; their better at diagnosing earlier; such as the leukemias. They also know that HPV causes many cancers. We eat foods grown with who knows what; then there is the employees that harvest said crop (or foods).. Some use contract crews; meaning workers here with green cards; they could be in the fields peeing on the blueberry bushes. I worked with them for a plant nursery; things they do in their country are still done here... I know my dads Leukemia was caused by the chemicals at our gas station. We used to get the chemicals all over us. We'd spray our hands down with it to get the grease off. I've had the gas pump give me showers; had oil drip all over me; same with antifreeze. Then there is Oxygenated gasoline which has always scared the heck out of me. I hated to breathe it; used to give me headaches. I will not be surprised if it bites me in the rear one day. Some of us used to slather baby oil & go lay out; of course this comes with a price too. They're seeing people with lung issues from it. The skin is porous; anything we touch; or use- lotions; baby oil; hair dye; even makeup- it's absorbed by the skin. Mineral Oil - Good For Skin ? then there is Petroleum Jelly on Your Face? - Think about these things with newborn babies & if you want to make yourself even crazier; what is in disposable diapers that gels up when wet? Does it make more sense that younger people are being diagnosed with cancers? I also feel that some are genetics; even when it did not run in families; it's possible that 2 people carrying dormant genes had kids that will have issues; like the Ehlors Danlos. I'm pretty sure both my parents had it; but it did not affect them the way it is me & my daughter.

I'm not a dog whisperer, but that is very interesting. Did the dog act like this around your Dad before he was diagnosed? Has she always acted like this around him? If the answer to either of those questions is no, my guess is that she knows there is something going on with him. Dogs seem to know things that we humans don't. I've seen TV specials where they've shown dogs (and cats) that assist people with special type needs. I saw one about a pet that could predict epileptic seizures a few minutes before they hit the owner. The owner knew that when the pet acted a certain way, she needed to call for help, of if no one was available, position herself where she was unlikely to hurt herself during a seizure. It could be that the dog knows your Dad is ill, but that doesn't mean that she knows something you don't know and it doesn't mean that she knows your Dad is dying, if that's what you mean by knowing something that you don't know. Maybe she just knows something is wrong and does want to take care of him.
