Alternative Medicine - The Blog

I am interested in learning about health benefits from herbal medical therapy. Do you have any experience in healing through alternative medicines?
Thanks, but I am not talking about marijuana. I am talking about legitimate health resources.

To often folks think that when you are talking about alternative medicine, they think about a witch doctor or a Charmin. What is today considered alternative medicine is tomorrows general medicine. An example of this is aspirin, this was derived from the aspen trees by American Indians, ergo a witch doctor and now I can't think of what it must have been like before the use of it. Camille tea is used today for a number of different ailments and yet no one wants to call it by it's name. My son and daughter in-law are both medical doctors and they ask my wife what to do for their colicky, my wife's advise use some Camille tea, I should have pointed out that both my son and his wife are children's doctors. This is a great question so I think that the real answer is most folks do even when they don't know that they are using alternative medicine

My grandma would like to work with a doctor that believes in alternative medicine - particularly nutrition. She has several health issues.

Go to Dr. Siegried - he is a close personal friend of mine and a great alternative Doctor. Best.

I have a friend that wants to know if there are any alternatives to heparin. She keeps having miscarriages. The only time she was able to carry a pregnancy to term was when she was on heparin. However, her doctors seem to think it is unrelated and will not put her back on heparin.
She believes it was the heparin that allowed her to have her first child. She has had many, many miscarriages. I believe the number is over 25 at least. When she was taking the heparin, she was able to not abort. I don't know if is a coincidence or not.

Yes, there are alternatives that are natural. She should check with a naturopath or her nearest good health foods store that sells herbs and suppliments.

She also needs to make sure she is not eating unhealthy and exercising and if she is over weight, she needs to lose the extra weight.

I'm sick of taking so many pills for diabetes and heart disease. I would like to hear from someone that has used all natural remedies with excellant results.

Diabetes cannot be cured with chemical drugs. U are bombarded with so many drugs making U more sick than ever.

Did U ever think that diabetes is just a complication of dehydration? Yes it is!!! Here's the explanation.

The brain is the most vital organ of the human body. It gets 85% of its energy from water. It is for this reason that the brain is immersed in water called the cerebrospinal fluid.

When there is shortage of water causing dehydration, the alternative energy source of the brain is the sugar called glucose. Dehydration occurs when there is daily lack of water intake or if water is replaced with other fluids that contain caffeine like coffee, tea, sodas, alcoholic beverages and chocolates. These are dehydrating fluids and aggravates dehydration further.

With dehydration taking place, the brain shifts to glucose. Since the brain is located at the top most part of the body, it will need more blood to get glucose to it. The brain being the most vital organ, also gets priority in having glucose in the blood. To do so, the brain prevents the pancreas from secreting insulin. This hormone causes the glucose to get into the different tissues of the body and so lessens the amt of glucose getting to the brain and also lowers the glucose concentration in the blood. Without insulin, the bulk of glucose goes to the brain. Of all the organs in the body, only the brain can utilize glucose without the aid of insulin. So as long as the water demands of the brain is not adequately supplied, glucose will be utilized and so this explains why the blood glucose level remains constantly high. If the water demand is still not met, the brain will eventually destroy the insulin producing cells and it is during this period that doctors start injecting their patients insulin. This will further worsen the condition.

So to correct diabetes, the first and foremost method shld be to rehydrate ur body sufficiently. Take adequate amt of water everyday. How? Dissolve 1/4 tsp of sea salt to 1 quart of water. Take this salted water as follows: Depending on ur weight, take 16-24 ounces upon waking up in the morning and also at bedtime, take 8-16 ounces half hr before meals and also 2 and a half hrs after meals, take 8 ounces everytime U urinate to replace the lost water. Salt holds water and this will help U hydrate ur body more efficiently. When U develop swelling on ur feet, stop the salt for 2 days then resume salt when the swelling subsides. Do not fear salt. It does so many wonders for the body.

If possible, avoid rice, root crops, pasta, pastries, flour and wheat products and sweetened foods. Take lots of leafy veggies.

Add abt 350 mg of magnesium daily as supplement. Magnesium will help correct ur carbohydrate metabolism and will also decrease the risk of U having the complications of diabetes like heart problems, retinopathy and cataract.

Try this. These treatment uses only the natural elements that are part of the human body. No chemical is present. No fear of adverse effects and no problem of toxicity from overdosage.

Hope this helps.
