Where To Shop For Healthy Food



I took a poll regarding what people struggled most with. The majority said that they struggled the most with eating healthy. Sometimes it does take one a little while to change one's bad habits. Until, one can become strong enough to resist the foods that are not good for them they must put themselves in an environment where they can make better food choices. Eating and shopping is no different.

When you know better you have to do better. So, where can you shop to make better food and health choices?

Health food stores are a great place to shop. They are small and it's easy to find what you need and you don't get so overwhelmed. I believe that you will also be more likely to try out different foods that you might of not thought of to try which are better for your health.

Here are some name's of health food stores:

1. The Natural Food Patch
2. Trader Joe's
3. Whole Foods Market
4. Wild Oats
5. The Better Health Food Store

Another store that is not a health food store but in my opinion is making an effort to give their customers better food choices is Meijer's.

Eating locally is good for your health too. You should eat foods in your locale because they contain the cure and antidote for all the little viruses, bugs, and special bacterial strains that occur in your area. Today, we are getting food from all over the world, and we don't know what kinds of chemicals they are using to treat them or what's in them.

A prime example is the salmonella problem we are now having. They don't know where the problem is coming from. That is another disadvantage of having food coming from everywhere. They don't know who is doing what.

To find out where you can buy your food locally go to: Local Harvest.
A way that you can tell if your food is grown locally is to look on the package and it will tell you if that fruit or vegetable is grown in your state. Randazzo's sells a lot of Michigan produce and they also have honey from there too. You should be able to know where your food is coming from and this is a way that you can.





Do You Know Your Body?


I believe that it is very important for everyone to get to know their bodies. It's your body, and who better to know it than you. Your body is like a good friend. If you treat it well, it will treat you well. If you treat it badly, it will treat you badly. By knowing your body; I mean you should pay attention to it. You should know your body better than your doctor, not vice versa. Sometimes, the solution to your health problems is simple. If you take care of your body and learn what your body needs you can solve some of the problems you may be having yourself.

However, if you feel that you really don't know what the health problem is than, you should go to the doctor. I'm not against going to the doctor, I just don't believe in taking medication just because you sneezed. I believe in healing the body naturally.
You too, can start to get to know your body. Read my " Getting To Know My Body" article.
If you have a getting to know your body story. Please tell me about them because I would really love to hear about it.

Beauty products

I have discovered a lotion and soap that is very good on your skin and it has organic and natural ingredients in them. I found it at Target (I love Target).

I don't usually, use soap on my face because it dries my face out, but I can use these soaps, and I don't have any problems with it drying out.

The lotion is so light and so gentle on your skin. It smells heavenly. I was already a fan of shea butter. These products have shea butter in them. So, if you're like me than, you will really enjoy them. The lotion gives your skin the right amount of moisture. It's not greasy at all.

Besides, natural products are so much better. When you know what the ingredients are you feel much better about using it (I know I do).

I know that you will enjoy these products. They are excellent for your skin. I just love it when I find something that is so good. If you think that you would like to try these products (and I know you will) go to the website SheaMoisture.com and have a look around.

Staying Cool In The Summer Heat



Summer is in full force. It's hot, humid, and everyone is trying to beat the heat. The most common ways to stay cool are: drinking lots of cold water, running the air conditioner or fan, going swimming, eating ice-cream, and sitting under a large tree for shade.

It's so hot and the blazing sun is beating down everywhere you turn. How do you stay cool? What else can you do?

Wear long loose-fitting clothes. Clothes that allow your skin to breathe. When the wind blows you can really feel it. Fabrics like: silk, rayon, georgette, cotton, linen, cotton gauze are great to work or relax in. Wearing long loose-fitting clothes not only keeps you cooler longer and faster it is also a protection from germs for your skin. If you are sitting at a public bench at a store or park. You don't know how many people have sat there before you. It's hot, and people have been sweating all over the seats. You don't want other people's sweat on your skin?

Long loose-fitting clothes is a protection from the sun and germs. Your skin doesn't have to pay the price. This way you can save money too, because you won't have to buy sunscreen, because your body will be covered and not exposed to the sun.

Leave Your Shoes At The Front Door

Leave your shoes


Leave your shoes at the front door, because you don't want to track dirt, dust, feces, chemicals and pesticides throughout your house. If you are wearing your shoes in the house those are just some of the things that are on your carpets and floors. You might say to yourself," I have my carpet cleaned", or "I wash my floors". You cannot do that enough, because you are continually walking through your home with your shoes on spreading that filth around daily. You would have to clean your carpet and wash your floors every single day. Who has time to do that?

We are fighting germs every single day. No one wants these things in their homes. Removing your shoes is a great way to keep those things right where they belong. Outside!

Wearing shoes in the house has become convenient, because people don't want to take the time even to remove their shoes. Doing things, because they are convenient aren't always good reasons to do them. As we have learned with our eating habits.

If you just have to wear shoes in the house get some house shoes or slippers that you only wear in the house and not outside. Ask people who visit your home also, to remove their shoes. If they ask you why. Give them the above reasons. You may also want to have a sign made and post it on a wall right beside the door. That way a person cannot miss it.

Antidepressants



Antidepressants would significant efficacy versus placebo in severe depression, according to a new analysis involving six large studies that included more than 700 patients with all levels of disease severity. Published in the Journal of the American Medical Association dated Wednesday, it also indicates that the effectiveness of these treatments would be "minimal or nonexistent" in the mild to moderate depression.

"Antidepressant drugs have shown superiority over placebo in thousands of controlled clinical trials during the past five decades," recalled Jay Fournier University of Philadelphia (Pennsylvania) and colleagues. But they stress that the tests were usually conducted in severe depression, to maximize the demonstration of efficacy compared to placebo. Furthermore, most studies began with a period of "washout" during which all patients received placebo and those were quickly relieved by the fake drug were excluded, biasing the assessment part of the true placebo effect, they note. However, in practice, approximately 70% of patients prescribed an antidepressant have a mild to moderate depression.

Of the 718 patients in six studies, 180 had a mild form of the disease, a form called 255 moderate and 283 suffered from severe depression. Researchers have shown that for less serious cases - mild to moderate - the results were just below the limit to say that a drug has at least a small effect. "Prescribers, policymakers and consumers may not know that the effectiveness of these drugs has been established primarily based on studies that included only people with more severe depressions," note the authors. "This important fact is not reflected by the implicit messages of marketing these products to clinicians and the public." The authors of the analysis therefore request clarification of information.

Smoking cessation - A drug given to stop smoking is linked to serious accidents and deaths

A drug manufactured by Pfizer, Chantix, administered for smoking cessation, and known in France under the name Champix (active ingredient: varenicline) has been implicated in the onset of many serious injuries due to cardiac events and losses motor control. More than 1,000 incidents involving Chantix consumers, as well as 50 deaths have been reported in the first quarter of this year, exceeding the number of adverse events related to prescription drug.

The new report highlights this anomaly has been published in the U.S. by ISMP (Institute for Safe Medication Practices) nonprofit organization dedicated to the study of drug safety. The information is based on the databases of the FDA collected across the United Etas referring fifteen events and reactions related to traffic accidents and 52 cases involving various types of ailments.

The retrospective analysis by ISMP quarterly data since 2004 and annual surveys of the 1990s revealed that the FDA has received nearly 21 000 reports of serious drug reactions, including over 4,800 deaths.

In a statement, Pfizer has questioned the conclusions of the report, saying, "We believe that the ISMP report is based solely on accounting for adverse events occurred after placing on the market," according to the company, " These reports are often unverifiable and medical information are not sufficient to draw conclusions. "As a further argument, the pharmaceutical company argued that the ISMP report itself acknowledges that adverse event reports are not enough to prove that the drug has a side effect.

Pfizer had added a warning more severe on the label of Chantix last year, after the use of this drug has been linked to psychiatric side effects such as depression and suicidal behavior. After conducting their own investigation, the FDA issued a Public Health Alert about side effects in May this year.
In addition, the initial report from the ISMP on possible links with the accident, also issued in May 2008, prompted the Ministry of Transportation, the Federal Administration of Aviation and the Department of Defense to limit the use of Chantix. Pilots and controllers of the air traffic have been instructed to immediately stop using Chantix.

In response to the ISMP report, Pfizer launched a public relations campaign and has published full page advertisements in major newspapers refuting the ISMP findings.

Pfizer and the ISMP have jointly said that negative publicity regarding the psychiatric side effects of Chantix may have contributed to increasing the number of adverse reports submitted to the FDA this year. Pfizer also noted that another factor to consider is that "Chantix patients undergoing nicotine withdrawal, itself responsible for behavioral changes such as irritability and depressed mood."

In 2007 sales of Chantix totaled $ 883 million of turnover. By cons, comparative sales for the third quarter of 2008 with figures for the third quarter of last year shows a decline in turnover of 49% in the United States from 186 million dollars, only 96 million.

The company still maintains that the benefits of Chantix outweigh unverified risks. In the statement, Pfizer, the company says "Based on this data set, we remain convinced of the efficacy and safety of Chantix. When used as prescribed, this drug is a therapeutic option important to help patients quit smoking. "

The FDA has received a copy of the report 'lISMP a week before it is released. and it has not made any comments about it.

Effects of Smoking - Quitting smoking improves the natural sleep

NicoNot Natural Tablets that help to stop smoking

The stimulant effects of nicotine would prevent them from falling asleep quickly. Moreover, throughout the night, a slight feeling of lack is also disrupt the sleep of smoking, which tends to make its somewhat foggy mornings.

These discoveries are the result of a study conducted by Dr. Naresh M. Punjabi, Faculty of Medicine, "Johns Hopkins' Baltimore, Maryland.

His team was initially interested in a group of 6441 volunteers in a national study on cardiovascular health. The researchers targeted only smokers in good health, ie not suffering from emphysema, heart failure, lung cancer, diabetes, or any other pathology. The task proved difficult on the entire group, only 40 individuals met these criteria.

These volunteers, who smoked on average 25 cigarettes per day were combined with 40 non-smokers in good health. All have returned home with special equipment, which, among others, could measure and transcribe the changes in brain activity during sleep.

Scientists have discovered that these changes were more frequent and more rapid in smokers. These symptoms are associated with poor sleep quality. In contrast, the results showed periods of deep, restorative sleep longer in non-smokers and this type of sleep that stimulates growth hormone secretion and promotes healing, in other words, which guarantees a good night.

Questions: "Did you sleep well? "And" Do you feel rested? "Only 5% of smokers responded positively, against 23% of non smokers.

The study highlighted the fact that the smoker is deprived of the restorative effects of sleep, which is another reason to encourage him to stop. Dr. Punjabi cares, and, continuing his research will pave the way for the manufacture of new products to help smokers to sleep well. He knows that in times of smoking cessation, waking up tired every morning makes the effort more difficult.

Daze, blackout, heart attack or cerebral vascular accident could follow.

The Krill Oil Health Benefits and Why Fish Oils are a Better Choice

The krill oil health benefits

have been much publicized in recent years even though only a handful of clinical studies have been carried out compared to thousands on fish oil. Once you learn the facts, you will understand the true benefits of fish oil compared to krill oil.

Now don't get me wrong, the health benefits of krill oil are there and are certainly better than taking nothing at all, especially as krill tends to be less contaminated than average fish oil as it comes from the pristine Antarctic oceans.

The problem is the amount of helpful omega 3 fatty acids it contains, as this is where most of the krill oil health benefits come from. When I am comparing krill oil, I am not doing so to an average fish oil but to a quality one.

There are way too many poor quality fish oils on the market and only a few that will offer you the full benefits they have to offer.

The two main fatty acids are DHA and EPA with DHA being the main one and responsible for providing most of the health benefits.

Krill oil contains an average of just 9% DHA per serving or 45mg per capsule while a quality fish oil contains 28% or 560mg per serving! That is a big difference and at only 9% DHA you will be robbed of the many health rewards.

The health benefits include prevention of heart disease, lower blood pressure, prevention of some cancers, improved immune system and lower bad or LDL cholesterol to name just a few.

Although the health benefits of krill oil include these, they are much reduced due to the low levels of omega 3.

Another claim is the high amount of antioxidants present in krill but although that is true, they are mainly used to preserve the oil rather than help your body

, so take care when reading some of the claims.

The type of fish oil supplement I am referring to in this article is one with high levels of DHA, at least 280mg per 1000mg capsule, about half that amount of EPA and extremely pure having been molecularly distilled to remove all contamination.

You can get oils like these for under $20 a month unlike the corresponding krill oil which is much more expensive and comes from potentially unsustainable sources.

I hope you can see that while the krill oil health benefits are present, they are very small in comparison to the right fish oil.

Herbal Medicine is an Indispensable and Significant Part of Chinese Medicine

Acupuncture SF

In the brains of most that don't recognize anything about acupuncture they stir up this tough view of expecting needles suck in in multiple sites over the body. Although there is, a small truth to this it is not near as fearful as what is thought. Numerous individuals are getting to revel acupuncture sf in not exclusively the Mission district but besides other regions of San Francisco itself.

Very fine needles produced of steel are inserted into the skin but there is very slender discomfort linked with this. It in truth didn't grow something that was of any interesting in the countries until around the 1970s. Then there was a hustle of interest and activity in regards to acupuncture when there was an article that appeared about an individual that had his appendix withdrawn while visiting in China. Although during the process the patient was addressed with the same anesthetic agent that would usually be practiced in any character of surgical procedure, acupuncture was employed to free the pain and uncomfortableness after the operation. As this individual was so propelled with the alleviation that he gone through that, he spoke about this when returning home and an article was published about this in the New York Times. Acupuncture sf is growing more frequent because it is an substitute to pain medicinal drug.

As time moved on there was the first national Association made in the United States pertaining acupuncture. This added more popularity and noes is to the states itself through their seminars and their demonstrations on inquiry.

At Last, the beginning acupuncture painfulness clinic numbered to be in 1972 and this was acknowledged as the first sanctioned clinic and as such was organized in a medical school arranging. At this time, though it was not classified as a medical expense but in 1973 that converted. From there the interesting in acupuncture retained to develop. Straightaway one can find acupuncture in SF crosswise the state.

Similar anything there have been swindles relating acupuncture, which applies a bad penchant to Galore people that peradventure were getting down to warm to the conception. For exercise in 2006, there was a bigger stir of news program about a heart patient that has undergone open-heart surgery exclusively with the employ of acupuncture as an anesthetic. After an investigation into this claim, it was determined that the patient had been committed some dilute miscellanea of anesthetics when unified in concert had a much more vehement event .This regrettably assigned a profound brand on acupuncture for a period of time

One of the absorbing matters to note about acupuncture now is that there is in reality handling deriving out for cosmetic acupuncture this is being practiced in order to aid contract truckles and age lines and may be a very standard replacement for Bot-ox injections for example.

There is no question that as one encounters the function of acupuncture raising for cosmetic purposes that there will be more and more localizations unfolding up such acupuncture in SF that propose this eccentric of treatment. The esthetically industry is one of a gigantic magnitude and how they will receive the hypothesis of cosmetic acupuncture should be quite an fascinating.

Women’s Health Information for the Heart

When you think of heart disease, you probably think of a risk of death for men. However, since 1984 more women have died from cardiovascular disease than men. While more men are at a greater risk of having a heart attack than women, women are only half as likely to survive a heart attack as a man. The risk factors and symptoms of heart disease may be different for women. That’s why women’s health information on the topic of heart disease is so important.

Risks and Symptoms

For anyone, smoking is makes heart disease more likely. While women’s health information shows that premenopausal women have some protection against artherosclerosis because of the presence of estrogen, that protection isn’t enough to cover the added risk of smoking or diabetes. Atherosclerosis is a condition in which blood vessels become clogged and narrowed because of the buildup of fatty substances.

The resulting decrease of blood flow causes the symptoms of coronary heart disease. High levels of cholesterol are a risk for heart disease. Especially bad are high levels of LDL cholesterol. Diabetes is as great a risk for a heart attack as heart disease is. A woman with diabetes has the same risk of heart attack as a woman with heart disease.

According to the best women’s health information, diabetic women should manage their blood sugar and get aggressive treatment with LDL cholesterol lowering drugs. The leading cause of death for women with diabetes is cardiovascular disease.

A woman’s risk of atherosclerosis rises over the age of 55. Family history can be a risk factor if a woman has a brother or father diagnosed with atherosclerosis before the age of 55 or if she has a sister or mother diagnosed before the age of 65. The latest women’s health information shows that obesity makes a woman much more likely to develop heart health problems.

Problems linked to obesity include coronary heart disease, stroke, congestive heart failure and heart disease related death. According to women’s health information, metabolic syndrome is the combination of abdominal obesity, high blood pressure, pre-diabetes and high cholesterol. Metabolic syndrome is associated with an increased risk of heart disease.

When a woman is the strong one in the family, she may be less likely to complain about small aches and pains. This can lead to missing early signs of heart disease. According to the best women’s health information, silent ischemia is a result of atherosclerosis that doesn’t cause pain or any specific symptoms.

A woman who is at risk of heart disease should have an EKG to rule this out. Women need to look to women’s health information to learn about their risk of that man’s disease – cardiovascular disease.

Leukemia and Chemotherapy

Leukemia is a disease that affects your blood and bone marrow. It is not a very common disease, but leukemia can be a very serious and severe condition. This disease can lead to death and treating your leukemia case may be painful and hard.

In almost all leukemia cases, the first treatment phase is through induction chemotherapy. This particular leukemia chemotherapy has the role of bringing leukemia into remission. This mean that your blood counts go back to normal and the number of leukemia cells decrease considerably. This first leukemia treatment phase is can be very intense and it lasts about one week. Three weeks after this induction chemotherapy, the patient must take certain drugs in order to recover. Some of the leukemia patients can also be given extra medication, depending on what type of leukemia they suffer from and how they have reacted to treatment. The first time a leukemia patient has this chemotherapy may not always turn out to be successful. The treatment may have to be repeated a couple of times over. After this induction chemotherapy, almost eighty percent of leukemia patients that are under 60 will be cured. The number drops at about 50 percent of all leukemia patients when it comes to people over 60. If children suffer from leukemia, then after this treatments more than 90 percent will be cured.

If not all leukemia cells are destroyed after the first chemotherapy phase, then consolidation chemotherapy is next. This second phase has as goal destroying the leukemia cells that are left. Large doses of cytarabine are given to the leukemia patient. This drug may be given in three cycles, sometimes even more. Many of the people that suffer from leukemia and get to this point of treatment will eventually be cured.

If neither one of these types of chemotherapy bring remission to the leukemia patient, than transplant may be his/ her chance. However, a bone marrow transplant presents some major risks and can have serious side effects. So, this way of treating leukemia is not used in all patients and it is only used when chemotherapy shows no effect whatsoever. Autogeneic or autologous transplant are some other methods used in cases of leukemia. Both have their risks, but when they are the only chance left, risk may mean the life of the leukemia patient. It may also turn out difficult to find a donor in cases of leukemia.

Remedy For Hemorrhoids - Great Tips For Prevention Instead of Cure

Although there is a remedy for hemorrhoids, or perhaps remedies, you need to identify what increases your risk of contacting the said condition. Hemorrhoids are very painful and not helpful, at all. You can certainly buy medications and all that but your hemorrhoids will just recur if you do not have any idea what may have caused it. Knowing the root cause will help you make better decisions and find the right remedy for hemorrhoids. As always said, prevention can do you more good than cure. You do not have to spend anything to prevent something. But to cure something, you do not only waste money but also energy and time.

There are several factors that you need to consider such as bowel movement, physical activities, and diet. Bad bowel movement, either diarrhea or constipation, causes strain in the rectal area and this leads to the development of hemorrhoids. If you are consistently being constipated, ensure that you see a doctor and that medication is issued to you if it is a necessity. The same applies for diarrhea.

Being overweight is also a factor. The body mass will strain the pelvic region and may start a hemorrhoid. One remedy for hemorrhoids is to reduce weight to an ideal number. If the cause of the condition, the hemorrhoid, is genetic, perhaps there is no other way to prevent it. Pregnancy, on the other hand, is also a leading cause of hemorrhoids. What you need to do if you are pregnant is to avoid prolonged sitting. You should also sleep on your side to prevent blood flow to your pelvic area.

Another remedy for hemorrhoids is diet. Water is the best thing to drink to control bowel movement. Green vegetables are also on the top of recommended foods next to those foods rich in fiber. Taking these food groups will ensure that you are going to have a balanced diet and that your bowel movement will be balanced.

What About Aura & Migraine Pain?

Migraine without aura is a common migraine without aura but exhibits the same symptoms as a classic migraine except that it does not exhibit any aura.

People who primarily suffer from migraine with aura may also have attacks of migraine without aura. Headache with the features of "migraine without aura" usually follows the aura symptoms. Less commonly, the aura may occur without a subsequent headache or the headache may be non-migrainous in type.

Migraine with aura is a classical migraine preceded by an aura before the attack. The aura occurs for about 10-30 minutes and then is usually followed by a headache. It is quite similar to a common migraine except in the aspect of the aura.

About 15% of migraine sufferers have a early warning that the headache is coming on. This change in brain function is called an "aura". It is usually a visual symptom, such as an arc of sparkling(scintillating) zig-zag lines or a blotting out of vision or both. The aura is due to changes that take place in the cortex, the outer layer of the brain. This slowly spreading depression of nerve cell activity is believed to account for the pattern of development of the typical aura.

Auras set in about 20-30 minutes before the migraine attack. Some patients also describe the presence of a strange odor, before the onset of a migraine. They also experience a tingling sensation in an arm or leg.

In the classic migraine aura, symptoms build up gradually and move slowly from one visual region or one part of the body to another. For example, the migraine aura sufferer may first notice a black spot in the field of vision. This black spot is often surrounded by flashing lights or bright zig-zag lines as mentioned.

What starts this sequence of events that leads to the aura and migraine? The answers to this question are not fully understood. Migraine sufferers have an inborn susceptibility to factors that normally do not trigger headaches.

In people with migraines, changes in body chemistry, such as menstruation, certain foods, and dozens of environmental influences, such as a change in weather, may trigger a migraine attack. A migraine trigger is any factor that, on exposure or withdrawal, leads to the development of an acute migraine headache. Triggers may be categorized as behavioral, environmental, infectious, dietary, chemical, or hormonal. In medical literature, these factors are known as 'precipitants.'

Neither type of migraine denotes a life-threatening disorder but, they can be chronic and recurrent, thus interfering with a person's daily lifestyle.

Both migraine types have the usual pain, nausea, vomiting and intolerance to light and sound, which is worsened by any physical activity.

Treatment? The treatment for migraines begins with simple painkillers for headache and anti-emetics for nausea, and avoidance of triggers if present. Specific anti-migraine drugs can be used to treat migraine. Homeopathic Drugs and Special all natural ingredient products such as those at the Centre for Pain Relief in Burlington, New Jersey have proven effective. If the migraine condition is severe and frequent enough, preventative drugs might be considered. The most commonly used "reversal" medicines are triptans. Triptans work by boosting the effects of the brain chemical serotonin, which reduces the severity and duration of an attack. Propranolol, a beta blocker, and Topiramate have proven effective for migraine sufferers as well.

When it comes to treatment however, "Migraine is the most misunderstood, misdiagnosed, and mistreated condition in medical practice," states Dr. Seymour Diamond, M.D., who is the executive chairman for the National Headache Foundation and director of the Diamond Headache Clinic in Chicago.

As always, talk to your doctor about whether or not you have with Aura or without Aura to find the medication that works best for you.

Do I Have Neuropathy In My Feet?

Often, I see patients in our office concerned about strange feelings to their feet. Many are found to have neuropathy (or peripheral neuropathy). Neuropathy is the poor functioning of nerves and can lead to significant abnormalities in the feet and legs. Do you have neuropathy? Some simple questions are:
  • Are your feet numb or do your feet feel dead?
  • When you injure your feet, do you feel pain?
  • When walking on your feet, do you have difficulty feeling the feet or do you trip regularly because you can't feel your feet?
  • Can you feel heat or cold in my feet or hands?
  • Do your feet tingle?
  • Do you have regular "pins and needles" sensation to your feet?
  • Do you have burning, stabbing, shooting or electrical shock pains in your feet?
  • Are your feet overly sensitive to touch, including pain from bed sheets or other items that shouldn't hurt?
  • Do you feel like there is cotton, leather, or sock on your foot, even when there isn't?
  • Do your feet hurt significantly at night and keep you awake?

An abnormal answer to any of these questions usually indicates neuropathy. Neuropathy can be a complex problem with multiple possible causes including diabetes, AIDS or HIV, toxins and metallic poisons, certain chemicals, alcoholism, vitamin deficiencies or nutritional imbalances, it may also occur from systemic diseases (kidney failure, liver disease, rheumatoid arthritis, abnormal blood proteins, cancer especially with chemotherapy, leukemia and shingles). Entrapment may also lead to the symptoms of neuropathy. Diabetes is the most common, however in the United States.

There are multiple theories on the cause of neuropathy, but the most common theories included blood flow interruption to the nerves or nerve fiber damage (or a combination of these). Therefore, for many years it was thought nothing could be done to improve neuropathy. You may have been told this about your discomfort. That is no longer the case. Many new treatments are coming that may help neuropathy.

The most common natural substances to improve neuropathy are B complex vitamins: B1 (thiamine), B6, B12 and folic acid. Many of the over-the-counter vitamins that contain these products, however, are in a form that are not as easily absorbed or utilized by the body. In our research, we have found two products that provide the vitamins in a form that are beneficial and easily utilized by the body.

  1. Metanx - A prescription item that contains L-methoylfolate, Pyridoxal 5'-phosphate and Methylcobalamin (all natural forms of folic acid, B6 and B12 respectively). These products work together to produce increased blood flow to the nerves and assist in nerve repair. Many people are finding not just decreased symptoms but improvment of the neuropathy over time. It usually will require treatment for at least 4-6 months to insure it has sufficient time to help repair nerves.
  2. Neuremedy - A over-the-counter item that contains a form of B1 (benfotiamine) that is absorbed and modified by the body to the active form of B1 (thiamine). Most forms of this vitamin fail to be absorbed in the body, but the benfotiamine of Neuremedy is easily absorbed and utilized by the body. It has been shown to nourish dysfunctional nerves and allow them to conduct impulses more normally. It has been used effectively in Asia and Europe since the 1960s on thousands of patients.

So, neuropathy although a common problem doesn't need to continue to cause problems in your life. It can be treated often very effectively through the use of one of these two options. Many other options are also in the works.

Cancer; One Of The Top Killing Diseases In The World

It's sad, but very true. Variations such as prostate cancer, ovarian cancer, skin cancer, and bladder cancer have widely become "top killers" amongst people all over the world. One of the reasons for this is because of the way people eat. I know that might sound really far-fetched, but if you do a little research you soon find out that this is actually a very true fact. Fatty foods, candy, junk food, etc can possibly turn your body into an infestation of not only fat, but also some other scary diseases such as cancer.

For men, the two top diseases as far as malignant neoplasm goes is prostate and pancreatic. For women, its ovarian, skin and breast cancer. Obviously as far as skin cancer goes - this doesn't really have much to do with your diet. But the other ones listed above very much do. It seems that a lot of people simply eat what they eat because they aren't sure what kind of diet they should be ingesting. Thankfully for us, there are several million websites and books on this subject, however, this can become quite time consuming.

One of the best things I can suggest to you is to find a website that is specifically designed in selling natural treatments for cancer books. These are going to be books that you can buy, download and read at your own leisure. They are going to teach you things like:

- The 2 ingredient diet about which an oncologist said; "this diet is far and away the most successful anti-cancer diet in the world". He further claimed that the inventor of the diet (a six-time Nobel Prize nominee) "demonstrated to my initial disbelief, but lately, to my complete satisfaction in my practice is: cancer is curable, the treatment is dietary/lifestyle, the response is immediate; the cancer cell is weak and vulnerable..."

- The nutritional supplement for which physicians are reporting complete remission of aggressive, stage IV cancers that have metastasized, as well as continued positive responses in other patients with previously chemo-resistant cancers. One treatment center has noted a 70% positive response rate in Stage IV cancer patients with most taking eight teaspoons of the supplement per day. One Stage IV breast cancer patient who refused chemo and radiation and was given two weeks to live by Hospice, got better with the help of this supplement. This supplement has also been shown to reduce the negative side-effects of chemotherapy and radiation.

- The unique device that is reported to reduce pain, raise energy levels, and increase survival. Apparently, many physicians are recommending it to their patients. This device increases the levels of negative ions of oxygen in the body's fluids and tissues, exactly as Nature produces. As two-time Nobel Prize winner Dr. Otto Warburg said "Cancer cannot survive in an oxygen-rich environment". Additionally, the device utilizes specific frequencies that may enhance your immune system and eradicate bacteria and viruses linked to your cancer.

- The gentle, inexpensive DIY treatment for when you need to carry on as normal with a 50-60% estimated success rate. This London biochemist has been trying to get authorities to check out his treatment for 20 years. It apparently knocks out the mitochondria or 'energy centres' in cancer cells whilst leaving normal cells unharmed. It is backed up by over 50 research papers, and apparently has succeeded for breast cancer, colon cancer, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, glioblastoma, pancreatic cancer, etc. A low cost source is identified for the 3 25mg tablets that need to be taken each day - working out around 60 cents a day!

From the info stated above you can see that some of these books are literally going to answer all of your questions and concerns, but they are also going to teach you step-by-step procedures and methods on how to get rid of cancer the healthy way, how to eat better, and what other methods you can use in order to keep away painful side effects that cancer can often bring to the table (depending on the disease) such as chronic pain, nausea, fatigue, dizziness, wheezing, abdominal swelling, etc.

Natural therapies ARE the way to go. And if you aren't sure if this IS the best thing for you I have to say to you; what do you have to lose? Nothing. You only have to gain from trying new things out which may in fact either cure you or make you at least feel and look better!

Doctors warned dangers of soy

Doctors warned dangers of soy
Although soybeans have been consumed in Asian countries for thousands of years, they did not pique the interest of Europe until the 17th century, and at a snail’s pace, they made it to America during the early 20th century. Americans have the boll weevil to thank for the popularity of soybeans, because they destroyed the supply of cottonseeds that were used to make cooking oil. To the dismay of the cooking oil industry, processing cooking oil was halted until it was discovered that soybeans would be a good substitute.




Fast forward almost 100 years later and soybeans are used to replace every food imaginable; and moreover, they are held in high ranks as one of the healthiest foods on the planet. Many health conscious women consume it daily to replace their milk, cheese, meat and even to replace the breast milk for their babies. With all of the loud praises being doled out about soy products, it’s not surprising that soy lovers can’t hear the steadily rising murmurs of those who think soy is a lot of things- except healthy.

While American women have been told that soy protects against breast cancer, heart disease, colon cancer, memory loss, and weight gain, etc… There are critics on the other side of the fence that say soy actually promotes the medical conditions that it is supposed to reduce.


Dr. Mercola of Mercola.com, states that soy based infant formula have high levels of manganese, which can lead to brain damage in babies and altered behavior in adolescents. Dr. Ruchi Mathur, a medical doctor at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Canada, says that when babies have hypothyroidism at birth and require replacement therapy, they have to increase the amount of replacement therapy if the infant is fed a soy based formula. This could be an indication that soy inhibits the function of the goiter.


Furthermore, Dr. Mercola says that soy products such as tofu wreaks havoc on your brain and actually causes memory loss, and also puts women at an increased risk of developing breast cancer, thyroid damage, and kidney stones. Dr. Brent Ridge, Martha Stewart’s Vice President of Healthy Living, says that he asks his patients who are at a high risk for breast cancer to eliminate soy products from their diets. This recommendation is based on the fact that soy has a high concentration of phytoestrogen, which mimics estrogen in the body, and increased estrogen levels are linked to breast cancer.


So what should women do about eating soy or feeding soy based formulas to their infants? Like everything else, eat it in moderation if you are healthy, avoid it if you are at a high risk of developing breast cancer, and avoid giving it to your infant. Healthier alternatives to soy milk are rice and almond milk, and goat milk might be a better choice for babies who are allergic to cow’s milk. However, please note that goat milk lacks vitamin B12 and folic acid; therefore, you must fortify it with these two supplements . . . . ♥

Types Of Herpes And Newest Treatments

Herpes is one of the common forms of viral diseases. If you want to defeat the herpes infection you must know everything about its background and symptoms.
The herpes simplex virus may be of two forms: Herpes Simplex Type 1 and Herpes Simplex Type 2. Both of them have similar symptoms: red skin, fever and discomfort. Herpes Simplex Type 1 may breed the Herpes Simplex Type 2 virus and vice versa.
Herpes Simplex Type 1 targets the oral area (mouth) both inside and outside. The most typical symptoms of oral herpes are cold scores or blisters and red spots on the lips, tongue and other areas of the mouth. All these visible symptoms of herpes may be accompanied by pain, headache, itching, tingling, burning sensations and fever. Oral herpes is a very annoying disease; it hinders the intake of food and drink as they cause skin irritation in the affected area. The disease¡¯s duration and cure varies from person to person.
The Herpes Simplex Type 2 virus targets the genital area and is considered to be a sexually transmitted disease. Once you are infected with herpes, the virus remains in your body for a long time. The symptoms are the same: blisters on or around the genitals. The worst thing about this type of herpes is that genital herpes symptoms are not always visible and may be absent.
Both genital and oral herpes are contagious and any contact may bring about the spreading of the virus. Intimate contacts and sexual relationships are not encouraged at all. Once the virus enters your body, it remains there for a rather long period. Herpes may have a deceiving impression: the symptoms may disappear but the virus may stay and reactivate from time to time.
Some factors and circumstances can aggravate any disease including herpes. Stress, overworking and lack of sleep or rest can trigger the outbreak of cold scores.
Researchers at Duke University Medical Center have now figured out how the HSV1 manages to hide out. Apparently they lie dormant in the trigeminal nerve of the face until they are triggered by excessive sunlight, a fever or other stresses.
Well now that scientists are beginning to understand how the virus switches back and forth from dormant to active phase, and this could lead to a cure. When the virus gets stimulated it creates new molecular material (RNA) and replicates and then goes out on its so-called "new mission"-hence the cold sores. If scientists can create a drug that binds to the RNA and stimulates the replication you essentially activate the virus and then kill the virus by having the patient take acyclovir. You would then have a situation where a virus was eradicated for good.
Acyclovir (Zovirax), valacyclovir (Valtrex) and famciclovir (Famvir)--the anti-viral pills used to treat genital herpes--can also treat the cold sores associated with oral herpes. In addition, acyclovir is available in topical form, as is penciclovir (a related drug).
Penciclovir (Denavir) heals HSV-1 sores on average about half a day faster than without treatment, stops viral shedding and reduces the duration of pain. Ideally the patient should apply the cream within the first hour of symptoms although benefits have also been noted with later application. It is continued for 4 consecutive days and should be reapplied every 2 hours while awake.
Acyclovir cream (Zovirax) works best when applied early on (at the first sign of pain or tingling).
Docosanol cream (Abreva) is the only FDA-approved non-prescription ointment for oral herpes. It is applied five times a day, beginning at the first sign of tingling or pain.
Over-the-counter topical anesthetics may provide modest relief. They include Anbesol gel, Blistex lip ointment, Campho-phenique, Herpecin-L, Viractin, and Zilactin.
These ointments or creams help shorten healing time and duration of symptoms. However, none are truly effective in eliminating outbreaks. Drug trials to begin developing medicinal antiviral plant extracts are now in the works. Studies of these antiviral extracts demonstrate that many of these compounds exhibit significant anti-herpetic activity. Several actually inactivate HSV with great effectiveness. These antiviral extracts represent new effective treatment options for therapeutic use as virucidal agents for recurring herpes infections.
We know that the extracts in OutbreakBalm-Rx have a direct action to eliminate viruses. A clinical study performed in 1999 with the extracts in OutbreakBalm-Rx and their components in vivo against the herpes virus type 2 showed the extracts effectively killed the life span of the herpes virus upon exposure.
