The glycogen storage disease is the abnormal storage of glycogen in the body tissues. Glucose being major source of energy; it is stored in the form of glycogen and later released in the form of glucose with the help of enzymes, the process known as gluconeogenesis. Glycogen is a complex material composed of glucose molecules linked together in long chains with many branches off the chains. Glycogen is found mainly in liver and muscle cells, while the kidneys and intestines are minor storage sites.
It is an inborn error of metabolism that belongs to lysosomal storage disorders. Every cell in our body contains vesicles called lysosomes those digest the waste products of the cell.
The phosphorylase enzyme plays a vital role in the breakdown of glycogen into glucose. In the absence of phosphorylase in muscles, glucose can not be released from the glycogen stored in skeletal muscles to create energy. People with Type V GSD experience problems performing and completing most exercises, especially anaerobic exercises. Because they lack the enzyme to metabolize glycogen, which is the main source of energy for anaerobic activity, their body struggles to find other sources of energy to complete a given activity or exercise.
The phosphofructokinase enzyme is needed to facilitate the breakdown of glycogen into energy in muscle. Patients with this type of GSD have a deficient amount of this enzyme in their muscle tissue. With this deficiency, effective glycogen breakdown (glycolysis) during muscle stress cannot be accomplished, resulting in pain, weakness, and cramping in the exercising muscle.
In today’s time many children even infants are suffering from Childhood Asthma, and are put on Inhalers & Nebulizers . It is increasing at alarming rate whereas a proper care with appropriate Homoeopathic Treatment can Cure many youngsters and enable them breath normally without the aid of Puffs, Pumps and Nebulizers.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is the leading cause of disability among adults. As the population ages, increased intervention efforts are vital to controlling the individual and public health toll of this chronic, crippling joint disease.
A condition involving abnormally high levels of androgens (steroid hormones) known in medical circles as “hyperandrogenemia” starts early in obese children, a study shows, possibly placing them at increased risk for the metabolic syndrome — a cluster of conditions such as high blood pressure and high blood sugar levels that raise the risk of heart disease and diabetes.
