Pharmaceutical CorporationsVS YOU-Natural Remedies

Filed under: Dieting and Health Resources — Admin @ 9:06 pm

  Pharmaceutical companies are not in the business for “curing” anything, but they are in the business to create “treatments” that patient will have to take for life, such is the case of diabetes, arthritis, lupus, just to name a few.

The majority of us only go to the doctor when something hurts… so then, doctor will do what traditional medicine protocols say, which usually is to order you to take prescription medicine, which stops the symptoms right there on the spot. Is this great? Or is this ignorant dependancy rather destructive? With so much information at our fingertips, we have options now. It is your responsibility and it is in your best interest to also research as much about your condition as possible, not just take the pill and swallow.

Does a severe condition develops overnight? No it does not.. I can even challenge to say it NEVER happens overnight, in most cases there is always a pre-disposition. But why don’t they study these pre-dispositions first, what has been causing them for all the accumulated years to then show in a painful way? Usually, it will have to do with our genetic-hereditary traits and in a major way also our lifestyles. Rather than waiting on a disease to develop to then put the patient on presciption drugs, one should be treated early with preventive measures, by being instructed to take rigurous diets, adopting corrective habits, such as eating healthy, exercise, etc. But we all now this is very difficult at least in most cultures. Traditional medicine has not done much to advance in this route, because everyone would be healthy and then they would go out of business. Starting the year 2010 we will perceive dramatical changes in conventional medicine. Wellness has become an industry in itself and is pulling others to follow what will grow to be the new tendency in the entire healthcare industry which is: focusing on preventive medicine.

You have a pain? Take these painkillers, they will take your pain away and you will feel better.

Next thing you know, you are taking painkillers sufficient to put down an elephant… what about the side effects? All of those chemically engineered medicines are simple invaders in our bodies, our very own immune system will create defense to just about everything that is alien to our normal cells.

Taking a painkiller to end the pain… this can be compared to when your residence is on flames and you simply take the batteries out of your alarm so it doesn’t go off. If you have a pain and you take painkillers that is exactly what you are doing. Your body is on flames, telling you something is wrong and you simply decide to overlook it.

In most cases, regular headaches could be simply an accumulation of certain substances and/or the lack of some nutrients in your body. This could be corrected through cleansing / detoxifying your gastro-intestinal tract and digestive system and a meticulous healthy diet. Yes it is worth it, your life depends on this.

Transfer factors, are one of the most significant discoveries in the last century in the wellness industry, and for certain, the most important discovery in what preventive medicine is concerned as many respectable doctors have appointed such as Rob Robertson.

Transfer factors are molecules have been around since the very existence of mammals. We transport transfer these molecules from a mother to a child through milk. These are molecules that store the information that will be absorbed by our immune system to help us boost up your immunity levels to be able to grow stronger, more effective and efficient, hence, making you a healthier person. Have you heard of stories where a child is born fragile in mother nature? Chances are, it did not obtain mother’s first milk which contains colostrum.

Transfer factor molecules are extracted from colostrum since the transfer factor itself are the ones that carry the vital information that will be absorbed by the immune system. Taking transfer factors, are like giving to your immune system an total index along with preparation on how to fight against virus, infections, diseases, illnesses and uphold your immunity levels at its peak performance|top performance}, while keeping a beneficial equilibrium.

Some medicines are created with chemicals that irritate some of our organs to “simulate” certain substances that your body requires, such as the natural insulin produced by the pancreas. Rather than this chemicals and/or artificial insulin, one should be ordered to keep a diet to promote the very pancreas to regain its strength and stimulate it to produce natural insulin again, aided with the support of glucoach oriented products such as targeted transfer factor glucoach. Diabetes is an auto-immune disorder in which is the very immune system that starts eliminating the substances and/or cells that suppress the sugars in the foods, and eventually makes the pancreas stop functioning properly. Well, this product is directed to the immune system specifically to those molecules that are destroying good cells and helps them absorb and store information to be able to identify what is good again.

Same as the transfer factor glucoach, there are many other targeted transfer factors that are specialized for each system in our body.

Transfer Factor Belle Vie (Femenine systems & organs)

Transfer Factor Cardio (Cardio vascular systems)

Transfer Factor Glucoach (supports healthy glucose levels and the metabolic and endocrine systems)

Transfer Factor Malepro (Masculine systems & organs)

Transfer factor Recall (Brain Support)

Natural Health Treatment alternative medicine discovery for better health and youthfulness

By Joe Rideout

  I am seventy years-old. My health discovery is that:

1. Modern lifestyles and diets cause our bodies to become too acidic. This means that the pH (pH measures acidity) is too low.
2. When acids build up in the body, things go haywire. Your blood carries the acids. Then the acids prevent your blood from performing its normal and essential duties of supplying food and oxygen to the cells of your body.
3. The resulting mayhem results in degenerative diseases and tiredness and pains that we associate with “normal aging”. But it is not aging. It is overacidification.
4. There are 150 specific diseases and health conditions that are caused by this overacidification condition. Cancer, arthritis, diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, are just a few of these conditions.
5. I have discovered a natural and inexpensive therapy that will rid your body of its acidic condition and bring you back to a state of health and vigor. Read on for a full explanation.
Background:
I had arthritis. My body had slowly stiffened up with arthritis pain. I had reached the point that I could not pick up anything that fell on the floor. That was a frustrating feeling. Plus, many normal recreational and hobby pursuits were no longer possible. I could not even put my shoes on my feet without pain. I tried herbs, and all of the natural herbal remedies, alternate treatments, and every alternative medicine remedy that I could find, all to no avail.
I have an avid interest in holistic alternate medicine and natural herbal healing. For years I read everything that I could find about arthritis. I tried numerous remedies. My research on arthritis and the interactions of the human body that cause such affliction became an insatiable quest. I learned why arthritis and 150 other associated diseases, such as cancer, arthritis, heart disease, diabetes and high blood pressure, are worse today than ever before.
As with many great truths, the secret of how I cured my arthritis is very simple.
And what I discovered is that this remedy is also the key to treating those 150 degenerative diseases, including my arthritis, diabetes, heart disease, and also cancer. Once you read and understand my discovery, you will understand how it works, and how you can use this discovery to maintain your health and well-being. But that is not all. In the course of curing my arthritis, I also got the weight loss that had stubbornly evaded me for years. What a delightful bonus this was for me. And my energy levels and overall vitality rebounded. I discovered that the principles of health that we all need to maintain our health also create conditions in a person’s body so that youthful vitality and permanent weight loss can be maintained. Now this natural therapy is an essential part of my alternative medicine herbal remedy therapies

Italian Scientists Conclude there is a Rational Basis for Aromatherapy

By Erica Allen

  Aromatherapy usually conjures up pleasant smelling day spa treatments, or some frivolous aromatic application. While it’s been the case for some time that researchers have been investigating many medical uses of essential oils: anti-viral, anticancer etc, there are very few studies that look at the effects of inhaling essential oils. There’s a few showing lowered aggression and stress in mice, and almost nothing with humans.

This research was done to actually validate that smelling an essential oil does cause a measurable change in the brain. Makes sense that they do as the olfactory sense is the one most closely connected to the brain. In fact, some scientist consider some the sensors are actually brain cells that extend into the sinus cavity, and the other end of those is completely intimate with our emotional and motivational center.

Italian researchers have just published a study shedding light on the neurological process that occurs when inhaling bergamot essential oil. By using brain wave data, behavioral response data and changes in messenger chemicals, they were able to deduce that the stress-reduction action is a result of not allowing to make certain neuron connections stronger, so stress does not increase from repeated exposure to it.

If you think about the way stress works, its not a one time thing. It’s the same thing happening again and again — the feeling of stress builds over time because the circuit in your brain is getting stroger.. Inhaling bergamot essential oil interferes this building up process, and has an uplifting affect at the same time — quite a bonus.

Bergamot essential oil is used for it’s anti-stress effects, as well as it’s ability to lessen the perceived intensity of pain. And the researchers note that because the mechanism is understood, bergamot it should be used in complementary medicine, alongside conventional medical techniques.

So what to do about the rest of aromatherapy? It’d be fantastic to see essential oils at all at your doctor’s office, and the doctor would actually have a collection of good medicines on their hands. Our physicians would have so much more to work with if they were able to tap into natural-source medicines as well, and hopefully as the body of research grows, along with it will be actual usage protocols — instructions if you will, just like the Physician’s Desk Reference, but for oils!

With all the published research that’s available, it’s likely we will see more essential oils given the okay for complementary status. A great place to have a look at all the available data is pubmed.gov — just search for “essential oils” and start scrolling through the pages. You’ll see tons of papers regarding the antimicrobial actions of so many oils on so many microbes. There’s research that shows immune system function being boosted at the same time. Then there’s the very promising anti cancer research that’s just getting underway. It may not be long for essential oils to finally be used for the wonderful medicines they are.

Feel Better Now with Helichrysum Essential Oil

Filed under: Dieting and Health Resources — Admin @ 9:04 pm

By Erica Allen

  The essential oil distilled from the small yellow flowers of the Helichrysum plant is quickly becoming one of the most popular essential oils used in aroma-medicine (perhaps the more appropriate term than ‘aromatherapy’ for the growing medicinal use of volatile plant extracts in the United States). Other monikers for this important oil include Everlasting and Immortelle — they all refer specifically to Helichrysum italicum — one of more than 500 known Helichrysum species. What’s making this oil so popular? It’s not due to its somewhat medicinal aroma — Rose or Jasmine it is not (though many people do love the scent). It has to do with its fantastic healing potential. Helichrysum has an array of therapeutic effects, all supported by the science in its natural chemical makeup. Here’s a look at the marvel of healing found in the chemistry of Helichrysum…

Healing Muscles, Joints and Connective Tissue

Reducing pain and healing of the tissues of the body require several concurrent actions for the best results. No other oil manages to do so much all at once: Reduce inflammation, loosen stiff muscles and connective tissue, relieve pain and stimulate healing. Helichrysum italicum does it all; and while proponents of conventional medicine still claim the oil to be unproven, this doesn’t prevent one from experimenting, and reaching their own conclusions about its efficacy. The oil is considered one of the safest in aromatherapy — it is listed as ‘non-toxic, non-irritating and non-sensitizing’. The only known contraindication for the oil is refraining from use if one is using wafarin or similar blood thinners, as Helichrysum has anti-coagulant properties. Now here’s a review of what the aroma-scientists know about this exceptional essential oil.

Soothing Inflammation

A great many drugs today, including the most popular over-the-counter pharmaceutical medicines, are made to specifically reduce inflammation. Swollen, irritated tissue will tend to both HURT, and cause MORE INFLAMMATION — which of course HURTS MORE! And that’s just the surface of it — inflammation not only causes pain, but ages our body more quickly. Inflammation has been targeted by pain relieving drugs as well as anti-aging medicines. Curcumin, the extract of the spice Turmeric, has become a very popular dietary supplement to treat inflammation. Helichrysum essential oil is high in a related compounds also with strong anti-inflammatory activity: alpha-, beta- and gamma- curcumene. The essential oil can be made up of 10-25% curcumenes, depending on the region where the plant is grown (Serbian and Croatian varieties may have the highest values of curcumenes). One of the oil’s most important uses is the application during the initial stages of physical trauma, greatly reducing slow-healing hematomas from forming.

Getting Muscles to Let Go

The first place where the ’serotinum’ sub species shines is in the area of relieving tight muscles. Much back and neck pain, for example, is the result of the muscles being chronically cramped. Helicrysum contains a natural chemical called ‘neryl acetate’ which acts to relax these cramped muscles. Helichryum italicum essential oils contain in the range of 5% to 50% neryl acetate. This natural chemical is from a group of compounds called Esters, found in a great many relaxing essential oils — most notably that of Lavender, the most widely-studied and highly revered ‘relaxing’ essential oil.

The ’serotinum’ sub-species is nearly all grown on the island of Corsica (the island is well-known for its bounty of many high quality, therapeutic essential oils). The Corsican variety has the highest neryl acetate levels of all, in the range of 25-50%. Some aromatherapists believe this makes this Helichrysum type the most valuable for its more esoteric applications, that of relieving deep emotional wounds. And this may have a solid foundation, in that many therapies, such as yoga and massage, acknowledge that emotional trauma is often ‘held’ in the physical body. Releasing muscle and connective tissue tension (which can happen even on the smallest, cellular levels) is crucial to the healing process, as it allows the movement of damaged material OUT, and new healthy material IN.

Regenerative Effects

Helichrysum contains molecules regarded for their ability to signal our cells to heal and regenerate. These compound are called ‘di-ketones’, of which Helichrysum specifically contains several Italidiones. You’ll find the essential oil an ingredient in nearly every wound healing and scar reducing formula in aromatherapy. (It should not be used on open wounds due to its anticoagulant effects, but is suitable once an injury is no longer likely to bleed). These same regenerative di-ketones make the oil an excellent choice for all sorts of skin-care recipes; the regenerative action can be complemented by a carrier oil like Rosehip seed, whose carotene content also supports skin healing — these two oils together form the foundation of many anti-aging skin care blends.

Taking Care of Bruising

Helichrysum essential oil is called for at 100% strength in one particular use: preventing the formation of bruises and hematomas. When an impact injury occurs, one of the first physiological responses is the filling of the damaged tissues with fluid, and the blocking of further blood flow through the area. Blood already in the area will stagnate and turn dark, resulting in a bruise. This is a natural response to prevent us from causing further damage. However, it also slows the healing process. One ore more applications of the essential oil will prevent the initial swelling from occurring, and limit the formation of a bruise. This typically gets one ‘back into the game’ much more quickly, as many avid users who are also fitness addicts will attest to. Twist an ankle, apply some oil. Bump your head, do the same. Works every time!

Anecdotal Experiences Count!

The use of Helichrysum essential oil on the world stage of medicine has been very brief. While use in aromatherapy has been significant, the cross over into the greater world of natural health is only just happening. As a result, formal testing of its efficacy is limited. However, because the oil is so safe, its really worth a try to see if it works for you. The critics of natural health say over and over that so many plant medicines are ‘unproven’ — we counter that so many ‘proven’ medicines are actually dangerous, lack truly unbiased scientific backing, and don’t actually result in healing, but rather a temporary cessation of symptoms. A fairly small amount of Helichrysum essential oil will either give you the results you’re looking for or it won’t. MANY users HAVE reported excellent results: profound relief from back pain, neck pain, joint pain scar tissue tightness. Extreme sports enthusiasts have called it ‘the magic oil’ for its quick pain relief. If Helichrysum sounds like it may help you, there’s every reason to give this wonderful, effective, organic natural medicine a try!
