Three Alternative Natural Remedies to Better Your Health

Posted by admin on Nov 30, 2008

Day in and day out we often find ourselves complaining about how tired we get throughout the day. One thing is for certain, if we don’t take action on anything nothing will ever change. The way most of our nine to fives lives work it is no wonder we have tendencies to stress and fatigue. It seems as though out diets have been getting worse and worse as the need for quick eating at cheap prices have helped fast food companies flourish in today’s world. So what can we do to sustain our energy levels, sleep better, live better and improve our general well-being? Well, the answer isn’t so simple however we can improve peices of our help through basic steps.

Along with exercise when the time allows, it is important to maintain a healthy diet. Here is a list of some simple and natural remedies to help with the fatigue of life.

1. Stop drinking soda or atleast drink healthier soda. Often times these carbonated beverages are filled with sugars, preservatives and caffiene all of which are bad for the human body and promote stress and fatigue. Many do not realize this but drinking soda can lead to tooth decay, breakdown the interior walls of the stomach, increase the chance of diabeties, increase stress and lessen the quality of sleep you get.

To provide a healthy alternative, try drinking a tonic call Kombucha Tea. Kombucha is a natural tonic that has been known as a healing tonic in the East. Kombucha is flavorful and quite the healthy alternative to caffinated beverages such as soda. Kombucha is also known for its versatile and healing properties. It is also possible to brew kombucha from home with the right know-how.

2. Another way to fight fatigue is to dump that coffee. Coffee can be a great way to wake in the morning but because of its high caffiene content, an individual is almost certain to have a caffiene crash by mid day and be sluggish until bed time. Coffee can promote stained teeth and bad breathe as well as increase stress levels due to the high level of caffiene. All in all there is not much nutritional value in such a drink, in fact, it can strip away nutrients in your body as well as dehydrate you.

A suggestion for a healthy replacement of coffee would be a tea known as Yerba Mate. Yerba Mate Tea is grown sustainabley in the rainforests of South America and has been known for its various healthy aspects. Yerba Mate itself carries a plethora of nutrients and minerals all of which are needed to sustain healthy living. Yerba Mate Tea, like Kombucha and Tahitian Noni Juice have been known to aide in numerous ailements. Yerba Matte has also been known to provide a huge burst of healthy, non-irratible energy that lasts throughout the day!

A supplement also found to be quite helpful in reducing fatigue is called Noni Juice. Noni Juice has been revered for centuries to provide good health for many who have taken the juice. Many have claimed that Tahitian Noni Juice has helped them with joint discomfort, arthritis, bad sleep, low energy levels and so forth.

These are just some basic concepts in finding alternatives to common unhealthy habits we as a society have deemed the norm. By looking outside the box there are many healthful opportunities that we commonly miss out on. By changing a few aspects of our diet we can reduce stress, reduce fatigue, improve our comfort, think clearer, act smarter, do more, live better and lead more active lives.

Common problems can occur however when we don’t research the supplements we take and we don’t actively take part in our health. It is important to be health-wise and to take an active role in learning and discovering ways to change your life for the better. It is truly amazing how such minor day to day changes can make all the difference in our health and general well being. Listening to your body more often is the key to great health and wellness and the ability to create more energy in your life.



Mysterious Instant Stomach Troubles

Posted by admin on Nov 29, 2008

Going to be as brief as possible: 21, male, healthy. Large build 230, 6′2. Drank wine a bit consistently for 5-6 months, no problems. Drank other hard liquor in the past, no problems. Tried Gin on June 6th, half a bottle (Seagram’s Extra Dry mixed with lemon juice and ginger ale..I don’t usually mix, was doing so for fun). Immediately noticed I had to keep taking deep breaths/out of breath sensation, stopped. Not sure if the Japanese food (sushi etc.) could’ve had an impact. Drank Jack Daniels and rot gut vodka before, so it was not a matter of tolerance or alcohol exposure.

Next day woke up to a feeling below the throat, felt like a constant need to cough. Went to the doctor…EKG, Chest X-Ray, Barium Swallow, Spirometer/Flow Meter (lung test), Gallbladder Liver scan, all negative. Endoscopy showed a very very small 3-4 cm sliding hiatal hernia, deemed asymptomatic (does not produce symptoms) as it was so small it didn’t even show on the Barium Swallow X-ray. Endoscopy showed no irritation, irregularities or inflammation. Allergy tests showed nothing, Clarinex did nothing.

Symptoms are: Constant cough/irritation between collar bones, murky/powdery stools (as if you were to flush powder from the bottom of the toilet bowl and it billows up), sinus congestion, excessive burping, extreme fatigue, minor heart palpitations, yellow/white coated tongue, hurts to take a deep breath. Spaced out/tired after eating, worse than the “after turkey meal feeling”. Excessive salivation/sweet tasting salivation. Hear an intermittent sound like gas escaping through my esophagus to my neck when I lie down. No heartburn whatsoever. Odd sour taste at back of mouth.

No history of any problems, no history of hypochondria, not psychological (Ativan and other sedatives did nothing). Antibiotics did nothing.

A homeopath suggested Nux Vomica, did nothing but calm me mentally.

Acid reflux/GERD was suggested, took Prilosec, Zantac, Pepcid AC, no effect. Moved to PPI’s (strongest stuff they got), Protonix/Aciphex/Zegerid, did nothing.

It has been 2 months, the symptoms persist despite diet changes. Suggestions regarding a decrease in weight were made. Factors of environment include mold under my water bed that has grown over the years due to frequent popping of the tubes. A plan to replace the bed is underway. It has been suggested that the mold is causing this, or perhaps a Candida Albicans yeast overgrowth, however, the reaction to the Gin was sudden, instant, and very acute. I felt no symptoms whatsoever prior to consumption.

5 doctors, a gastroenterologist, a pulmonary specialist, 10 health coach’s/nurses from the insurance company, a renowned medical researcher, and a famous health expert who exposed a pharmaceutical scam had no clue whatsoever, and were completely baffled.

I have gotten some guidance from a Chinese medicine woman/acupuncturist and am undergoing treatment through TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine).

Nevertheless, I am asking for your opinions. Do not tell me I have “GERD” or “acid reflux disease”, those ailments are not diseases, and my symptoms/tests defy such a diagnosis. I am more knowledgeable about Acid Reflux/GERD than most doctors at this point, and I know I don’t have it. I know every test used to detect it, and every “health tip” recommended for it, so don’t waste my time or yours by spamming it.

I am looking for alternative causes.

Thank you
Looking for more answers

I am in no way a medical professional, but I have to respond because I have twice in my life had conditions that could not be diagnosed. Both eventually were, but what a horror show until then.

My first thought on reading as far as your instant reaction to the gin potion was allergy. Short of a pre-existing condition, I can’t think of anything, other than a poison, that could act that fast.

As I read further, I was going to mention mold but then you did. Mold is insidious. Mold can cause hundreds of nasty symptoms. That you had been sleeping on it for god knows how long means that you were breathing it in all that time even though you didn’t know it was there. I don’t know if there is a medical specialty in mycology but it might be a place to start.

Also, consider that what’s going on may have been caused by more than one condition or more than one allergen or mold or … If the gin event was an allergy, maybe it triggered nasty mold spores that had been hidden in your larynx.. I mean, I’m just throwing out ideas here, but it could be two or three different maladies.

In any case, don’t give up. There is a doctor who knows what it is and has at least an idea how to cure it.

Good luck.



Are there job opportunities for Holistic Health Professionals?

Posted by admin on Nov 29, 2008

I'm am trying to find resources for jobs in the field of alternative medicine (non MD/RN types of jobs). Any ideas?

Hi — There is a nice resource book written by Rosemary Jones called "Educational and Career Opportunities in Alterantiave Medicine". It was written in 1998, but has addresses and contact information for the various professional associations and the description of the career. It includes such things as income projection, edcuation requirements, etc.



What's the name of the Alternative Healing Therapy that uses "hot spots" on the earth to heal people?

Posted by admin on Nov 29, 2008


I was intrigued by your question, as I have never heard of this before. All I could find on Google was a link about a book by Tyberonn. It does mention the hotspots and apparently I live near one!

Is there anybody else here who thinks Dr Frank needs to get over his fear of Alternative Medicine/ Therapies?

Posted by admin on Nov 29, 2008

If he objects so much to them why does he continue to answer questions in this section by trying to put off those who are genuinely seeking help or guidance. There are some things conventional medicine can't help with and that is why we are here?! Personally I think Dr Frank needs EFT or Hypnotherapy to help with his irrational thoughts and fears of Alternative therapies. What you think guys?
It amuses me how Dr Frank refers to Alternative medicine/ therapies as 'voodoo mumbo jumbo'. For those who don't know alot about it, I would just like to clarify that we do not stand over our patients chanting or performing bizarre rituals on them in any way. We are merely treating them in respect of their lifestyle, physical, emotional and psychological well being.. And like GP's, we too must have a high degree of knowlege on conventional/ homeopathic medicines and anatomy and physiology.

dr frank says he is a gp for more years than he cares to remember..this means he obviously cant conform to any change to the medical profession..he is afraid that maybe someday people will go to alternative and complementary therapists before they go down the conventional medicine route..and i agree that he keeps putting these therapies down every chance he gets and its getting quite boring at this stage..i am a nurse and complementary therapist so i have seen both sides of it..and both are welcome in my opinion..you cant knock something untill u have tried it..



Are there any apprenticeship programs in alternative medicine?

Posted by admin on Nov 29, 2008

Looking to enter into the alternative medical field and would like to do an apprenticeship. I don't have experience or a degree in a related field, but thought doing an apprenticeship would be a good way to get into the field. Thoughts on this?

when you mention alternative medicine the first thing that comes to my mind is herbs. I recommend checking out American Herbal Academy online. Mirah Mc Cain has several courses and her school is the only one that is approved by the US to grant a certification by mail for a course on Nautropathic doctrine, aromatherapy, herbalist, acupuncture, reflexology, flower essence and well…the list goes on and on. This way you can decide if it's the way you want to go without spending alot of money and time freviouly. Best of luck!
PS: you can do alot of research online about herbs and etc. so you can start there. Pick a favorite herb, mine is Dandelion and that's pretty much were I got started a long time ago. Besides, the information you learn you will always use and it's easy to remember.



Aromatherapy Candle

Posted by admin on Nov 29, 2008

Aromatherapy candles help you feel great. They offer you wonderful scents to help you relax and feel calm. Placing aromatherapy candles in your bathroom while you relax in the warm water will allow you to breath calmly and feel the tension leave your body from head to toe. You will need to select an aromatherapy candle for your specific need as they are designed to alter your mental state for the better. Some aromatherapy candles help you relax, others rejuvenate your energy. I love the ones that help you fall asleep, of course I have to make sure the candle is out before I am!

Charka are aromatherapy candles that are believed to have a metaphysical energy about them. They are made from natural herbs and waxes. These candles are often used during body massage sessions to help the customer relax and let the massage work out the stress and anxiety from the body. All types of aromatherapy candles can have a positive affect on your state of mind and your surroundings.

While it is common to choose candles based on their smell, it is important to choose aromatherapy candles based on what your physical and mental needs are. To create a sexy, sensual environment choose a Jasmine candle. For someone who is often tired or ran down, go for a rejuvenating or invigorating candle such as Spearmint or Peppermint. Orange and Grapefruit will help you stay focused and feel less frazzled and distracted.
Cintronella aromatherapy candles help reduce headaches, Chamomille helps you get a good night of sleep.

You want to choose an aromatherapy candle that has all natural ingredients. Some retailers add artificial ingredients to make the candle more appealing but it won’t provide you with the same benefits. You are encouraged to purchase soy aromatherapy candles instead of those made from paraffin wax. Soy candles are non-toxic, biodegradable, burn for hours, and they don’t produce smoke that can get into your lungs. Beeswax is a good choice too.

If you feel creative and adventurous you can make your own aromatherapy candles in your kitchen. You can make them for yourself or as great gifts for your friends and family. You can make the candle from aromatherapy oils that fit the personality of the person you plan to give it to. They will appreciate the personal touch as well as the benefits the candles provide them. For best results use soy wax or bees wax. You can purchase wicks, jars, color, aromatherapy oils, and wax online or at a craft store.

Melt your wax in a double boiler. When it completely melted add coloring and aromatherapy oil. Immediately pour the mixture into your candle jars. Place a wick in the center of the jar. Wrap it around a pencil at the top and lay it across the mouth of the jar. As your candles cool, make sure the wick is centered. Allow your candles to completely cool. This is a wonderful way for you to enjoy the best aromatherapy candles.



Mercury Detox For Your Autistic Child

Posted by admin on Nov 29, 2008

Are you seeing odd behavioural patterns and habits in your preschool child? Is your child having difficulty with speech such as difficulty in forming short phrases or/and with plenty of babbling? Is he having problems interacting socially with the other kids? These are possible signs that your child may just be autistic.

Autism is a neurological brain disorder. Some experts say that autism may be caused by mercury found in the body. Mercury is known to cause neurological disorders as it mainly triggers brain dysfunction. Mercury is likely to be absorbed by the body if it is presented as ethyl mercury that are usually used in thimerosal, preservatives, and additives and even in pediatric vaccines.

Hence to get rid of the mercury, it appears that it is necessary to do a mercury detox. Mercury detox is a process where chelating agents aid the body into excreting heavy metals by bonding with the toxic materials and make them less active. Mercury detox is in progress when hazardous metals are absorbed by the bloodstream and is excreted safely by the liver or kidney.

There are a lot of medications that can aid in mercury detox. DMSA is one of the most common FDA-approved drugs to treat individuals who need heavy metal detox. It contains mixed disulfide and cysteine that forms a water-soluble chelating agent that can effectively excrete lead content through urination.

DMSA may be deemed as an effective heavy metal detox agent but there are known side effects that move a lot of physicians not to recommend it to autistic children. Some of the reported side effects of DMSA are self-stimming, seizures and some dysfunction of the central nervous system.

Individuals with autism may or may not show these side effects because as mentioned earlier, it’s always a case-to-case basis.

Another option for heavy metal detox is the intake of DMPS. This is the next alternative for DMSA. DMPS may be a little pricey, but it is recommended to be taken only once a month. This is generally cheaper compared to DMSA because you have to take them 28 times on a monthly basis.

There are also other options that you can consider for your child for a much gentler way of detoxification. For instance, taking certain herbal supplements known to aid in detoxification as well as homeopathy.

It is important that you first get your child tested for mercury or heavy metals. If the tests indicate the high presence of these toxic materials, consult your health care provider on what your options are.



How to Give a Great Massage

Posted by admin on Nov 29, 2008

 

There is nothing more relaxing than having a massage and it would be interesting to figure out how to give a fine massage. After a long hard week at work, a massage is a terrific way to unwind and relax. Just imagine your partners surprise if you offered him/her a massage.

Remember that giving a massage incorrectly can often cause more stress and soreness than they had before so a little bit of practice is necessary. Dimming the lights and playing soft, soothing music helps to relax the person getting the massage.

A persons lower back can be sore from falling, muscle spasms, twisting the incorrect way or hundreds of other reasons. It is the part of the back most often injured and sore. If you figure out how to give a wonderful massage on the lower back, it can often reduce some of the stress and soreness.

Here are a few tips on lower back massage. Sit to the side of the person getting the massage, move your hands along both sides of the spine using your index and pinky fingers, using a small rhythmical motion while moving one hand over top of the other.

Mimic this by applying massage oil to the spine base and going up and down the outside of the spine, massaging the oil in. Imitate this with rubbing from the rib cage to the bottom of the spine.

Finally, make large gliding circular motions over the lower back, spine and hips. Never rub hard directly on the backbone. Be smooth and go slowly as this is all part of how to give a great massage.

Different schools and colleges offer night courses on how to give a great massage for personal use. Couples often take these classes so that they can give each other a relaxing, soothing massage at home. Learning how to give a great massage can spice up any couples life.
