It seems only MALES are afflicted with this.
Article from THE PHILIPPINE STAR:
The reported cause of actor Rico Yan's death is nightmare or bangungot. Medical investigators in China, Japan and several Asian countries who performed autopsies on persons who died from "acute hemorrhagic pancreatitis" found out that the majority of them had eaten NOODLES as their supper. This was a startling finding.
However, it wasn't the noodles that caused nightmares but DEHYDRATION. Imbibing even with a few drinks of alcohol or just eating noodles immediately before bedtime compound this on an empty stomach will trigger an electrolyte imbalance and other factors that causes a person to dehydrate or lose water.
It is therefore advisable for a person to take several glasses of water before bedtime if he had a few or several alcoholic drinks. Avoid eating noodles before bedtime, but if you can not avoid it, allow at least two hours for the body to digest the noodles before hitting the sack and drink plenty of water.
The most important thing is, never go thirsty when going to bed and be sure you have plenty of water during your 8-hour rest.
DRINK WATER ON EMPTY STOMACH
It is popular in Japan today to drink water immediately after waking up every morning. Furthermore, scientific tests have proven its value. We publish below a description of use of water for our readers. For old and serious diseases as well as modern illnesses the water treatment had been found successful by a Japanese medical society as a 100% cure for the following diseases: Headache, body ache, heart system, arthritis, fast heart beat, epilepsy, excess fatness, bronchitis asthma, TB, meningitis, kidney and urine diseases, vomiting, gastritis, diarrhea, piles, diabetes, constipation, all eye diseases, womb, cancer and menstrual disorders, ear nose and throat diseases.

breast cancer: prevention: no bras
Re: Breast Cancer, Prevention
Fr: fwd email fr dandount@hotmail.com. “Bra & Health.” 2008 Jan 24 (undercore mine)
… For years, a lot of articles with regard to the causes of breast cancer point to an unhealthy diet and lack of exercise as the major links to this disease which happens to be the biggest killer among women during these last two decades.
These studies would have been most credible if it were not for the fact that several women including Linda McCartney who have been religious vegetarians and exercise-freaks have also been unfortunate in suffering breast cancer.
Perhaps the most convincing article I have ever read with regard to this matter is one which links breast cancer to the wearing of bras.
In the "Bra and Breast Cancer Study" in the United States, it was discovered that women with breast cancer had a history of sporting tighter and longer bra-wearing than did the women who had not (yet) developed the disease.
In fact, virtually the entire cancer group wore bras over 12 hours.
When a woman wears a tight bra, she subjects her breasts to pressure, closing off the lymphatic pathway from the breast to the nodes.
This causes fluid built-up swelling, tenderness and cyst formation.
Toxins must be flushed out via the lymphatic pathway.
However, a bra-constricted breast cannot adequately perform this cleansing process, resulting in toxin accumulation in the breast.
Truthfully, bras are creating droopy, weak breasts......the breast relies on the bras for artificial support; the body loses its ability to support the breast by itself.
This is why many women feel uncomfortable without the bra.
What is the solution to breast cancer then?
DON'T WEAR A TIGHT BRA!
And maybe sleep without them.
There is a remarkable success rate for recovery from fibrocystic breast disease within 10 days to two weeks of going bra-free.
Many women have tried going bra-less and recorded a miraculous improvement in their health!...

medicines for colds and cough: caution
Re: Colds and Cough, Treatment in Children; Caution
Fr: Excerpted from Associated Press (2008 Jan 17). “FDA: Cold medicines too risky for tots.” http://news.yahoo.com/sap/20080117/ap_on_re_me /cold_ medicines (underscore mine)
• WHAT
“Washington – Parents should not give sniffing babies and toddlers over-the-counter cough and cold medicines – they’re too risky for tots so small, the government will declare Thursday.
“… the Food and Drug Administration [FDA] is issuing a public health advisory on Thursday to warn parents to avoid these drugs for children under age 2 ‘because serious and potentially life-threatening side effects can occur.’
“… last October…. the FDA’s own scientific advisers voted that the drugs don’t even work in small children and shouldn’t be used in preschoolers, either – anyone under age 6.
“… the FDA is asking an even bigger question: are over-the-counter cold remedies safe and effective for children under 12? The agency’s advisers last fall stopped short of recommending no use by children ages 6 to 11, but they did call for more research….
• WHY
“… decades ago,… scientists thought that what worked in adults would automatically work in children. Scientists today know that is not always the case.
“There’s no evidence that these oral drugs actually ease cold symptoms in children so young – some studies suggest they do no good at all. And while serious side effects are fairly rare, they do occur. Indeed, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention last year reported that more than 1,500 babies and toddlers wound up in emergency rooms over a 2-year period because of the drugs.
• WHAT NOW
Give lots of liquids to them.
“Meantime, the FDA’s advice for children over 2:
-- If you use these drugs, carefully follow label directions.
-- If you give two medicines that have the same or similar ingredients, a child could overdose.
-- Understand that these drugs only treat symptoms. Colds are viruses, and the drugs will not make them go away any faster….”
