Kidney Stones, Kidney Health

May 20, 2013 by

By cleaning your blood, your kidneys keep you alive. Most of the time, we pay little attention to this crucial function; the common way most people finally learn about their kidneys is by experiencing kidney stones. That’s a painful way to become aware of an important part of the body. Nephrolithiasis: Kidney Stones Kidney stones affect about 9 percent of Americans at some point in their lifetimes. And they occur twice as often in men than women and twice as often in people who are obese. [1] Fortunately, most kidney stones pass out of the body on their own, but not without inflicting great pain. When a stone is large enough (usually 3 mm diameter), it causes symptoms of severe...
When your intestinal tract is afflicted with a serious condition like ulcerative colitis, your health suffers immeasurably. Luckily, the right supplements and lifestyle changes can ease the dysfunction and allow your digestive system to heal. Here’s how to reap the benefits of natural improvement.

Natural Ways To Reverse Ulcerative Colitis

May 13, 2013 by

Dietary supplements can be a great help for healing ulcerative colitis. In addition, a particular therapy that might make your skin crawl when I tell you about it (worm therapy) is also surprisingly useful. Nutrient Supplements For Ulcerative Colitis Previously, I discussed the importance of optimal nutrition and using digestive enzymes and probiotics for colitis. One caveat: Probiotics are not advised during a colitis flare-up. You can become sensitized to these bacteria during this time of most inflammation. But it is important to re-colonize the intestinal lining with probiotics in the post-flare period. It is known that colitis patients have lower serum levels of beta carotene,...

Reversing Ulcerative Colitis With Food

May 06, 2013 by

When you eat foods that are high in micronutrients while also being low in sugar, you feed your cells for healthy growth and you lower inflammation. When you try to figure out a nutrient-dense, whole foods diet that can help ease colitis, first you must identify the “killer foods” that worsen your problems. You may have to avoid sodas, fried foods, beer, red wine and spicy meats. You may find that you can’t eat certain high-fiber foods raw, including fruits, beans, cabbage, broccoli and other vegetables. So you have to steam, bake or stew them. Bread, sweet desserts and milk may also cause you problems. Avoid the following foods because they are inflammatory or worsen bowel...
When your digestive system breaks down with a problem like ulcerative colitis, it can ruin your life. Mainstream doctors offer little in the way of satisfactory treatment. But, by using natural methods, you can deal with this problem, enjoy improved digestion and start shedding intestinal stress.

Digestive Health: Reversing Ulcerative Colitis

Apr 29, 2013 by

In my previous articles I discussed some factors that contribute to the immune hypersensitivity behind chronic illnesses in general. In this article my focus is on ulcerative colitis. This disease is considered incurable with the prescription medications that mainstream doctors use. But I can offer you natural approaches that are the best available today and that offer a sensible approach to healing. Defining Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) Ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease are intestinal inflammatory diseases that cause abdominal pain, often bloody diarrhea and, eventually, malnutrition. Ulcerative colitis involves the large intestine, while Crohn’s disease can involve any...
Springtime awakens many people’s allergies. Other folks suffer year-round. Problem is, our chemical-filled environment is driving the human immune system bonkers.

Allergy And Chronic Disease

Apr 22, 2013 by

Allergy has many symptoms. Dry cough, skin rash, itchy eyes or a stuffy/runny nose are only the more obvious signs of allergy. Allergy also underlies autoimmune disorders. However, even these are just the tip of the iceberg. Almost all chronic inflammatory conditions have allergic hypersensitivity as their root cause. In this report I’ll help you understand why allergy is the cause of so much chronic illness so you can see how to correct it -- without prescription drugs. Your Immune And Acute Hypersensitivity Reactions In the simplest form of an acute allergic reaction, you rapidly get allergy symptoms. The process is this: You first come into contact with an allergen. These...

Natural Treatments For Arthritis

Apr 15, 2013 by

If you suffer from arthritis, you should know about an effective treatment called prolotherapy. Equally vital is a knowledge of the nutritional supplements that may help with the condition. Prolotherapy The treatment goal of “prolotherapy” is to induce proliferation of new cells in chronically painful joints, ligaments and tendons. The treatment involves periodic injections of dextrose (sterile sugar water solution) into the joint or its tendon/ligament insertions. The dextrose acts as an irritant to attract white blood cells that initiate growth of these connective tissue cells and subsequently reduces pain. Unfortunately, this therapy is largely ignored by U.S. medical...
Arthritis can be a source of intractable pain. But you can help your body heal if you naturally improve the health of your digestive system and tap into your body’s regenerative processes. The happy result: The hurt may go away.

The Pain Of Arthritis (Part 2)

Apr 08, 2013 by

The pathophysiology of arthritis is well described in the medical textbooks. However, these textbooks don't discuss causes for arthritis. In this article I'll discuss what's really behind arthritis and what you can do to reverse it and control pain without resorting to prescription drugs. How Arthritis Begins In U.S. medicine we call arthritis an idiopathic illness. (It has an unknown cause.) Some reports blame infectious agents such as viruses, bacteria and fungi for the condition. However, the cause of this inflammation lies with our very own lifestyles. We know that smoking tobacco increases rheumatoid arthritis risk. But there is much more to the arthritis story. The...
Arthritis afflicts millions of Americans. This scourge can make every movement hurt and drain the joy out of everyday living. If you’re suffering, you know that mainstream medicine doesn’t offer treatments that get to the root of the problem.

When Arthritis Starts To Hurt

Apr 01, 2013 by

The pain of arthritis plagues Americans as we grow older, despite advances in medical science. It doesn’t seem fair that pain should increase with advancing age, when we deserve more happiness and comfort, not less. In this report I’ll discuss the process of arthritis and what conventional medicine has to offer for treatment. In a future article I’ll explore the root causes of arthritis and what you can do about it other than prescription medications to control the pain. Autoimmune Arthritis The cause of arthritis is considered to be idiopathic (unknown) according to conventional medical belief. Yet rheumatologists look for and treat approximately 100 forms of arthritis. These...

Lower Your Cholesterol Naturally

Mar 25, 2013 by

Many people find elevated cholesterol levels to be worrisome. They’ve been convinced that having a high cholesterol level means having an increased heart attack risk. I want you to understand why you need cholesterol for your health. You should also know the truth behind the cholesterol-heart disease theory. I can also share some natural ways to lower your cholesterol. Why You Need Cholesterol The liver produces about 80 percent of the cholesterol in your body. You must have sufficient cholesterol in your diet to make sufficient amounts of these critically important hormones: Progesterone and estrogens (for women). Aldosterone. Cortisol. DHEA...
Your liver works hard every day to detox your body. Here are the natural supplements everyone needs to help the liver in its endless task of dispelling toxins.

Help Your Liver Detox Your Body

Mar 18, 2013 by

To a medical professional, the term "toxin" refers to an acute, life-threatening chemical like arsenic or strychnine. That’s why I used to mock people’s references to toxic molecules from food or from our environment. What modern medicine fails to recognize is that toxins can be anything that clearly wears down your health or contributes in a significant way to aging or illness. It is obvious that cigarette smoke, insecticides, herbicides, fungicides and many other xenobiotic chemicals from our environment are significant toxins. In this article I’ll give you some important details about supplements to protect and cleanse your liver. First however, here’s a quick review of...
