Instructions for a Gall Bladder Flush</h1>

<img align="left" alt="gallbladder.jpg" border="0" height="300" hspace="10" src="https://www.treelite.com/articles/images/gallbladder.jpg" title="gallbladder.jpg" width="195" />The
gall bladder flush is a therapy that has been around a long time. It is
controversial, even in the natural health community. Many herbalists I
know don't believe its beneficial. However, I have done it a few times
myself and used it with others and have seen it provide tremendous
benefits.<br />
It definitely increases bile flow, causing the gall bladder to empty
its contents. This seems to ease gall bladder pain and may help to
dissolve and/or pass gallstones. However, it has not been proven to do
so. Even still, I've known a number of people who have stopped severe
gallbladder pain and avoided surgery using the proceedure.<br />
People have thought this proceedure passed gallstones because people
who use it will typically pass small greenish-grey balls about the size
of peas. These are not stones. They are composed of soap, which is
created by an alkali interacting with fat. In this case, the large
quantity of olive oil used in the cleanse mixes with a large quantity of
bile to saponify (i.e. turn into soap) the fatty acids. Normally,
enzymes would break this down to absorb the fatty acids, but it appears
that the extremely large quanitity of oil is more than the body can
assimilate, so they are passed intact.<br />
A medical doctor told me that the large amount of oil causes the
gallbladder to go into spasm and completely empty its contents and that
this could theoretically cause a large stone to get lodged in a bile
duct. This would require surgery for removal. I have had one person tell
me that this happened to them when they did this proceedure, so the
risk is real. However, I've also used this proceedure for myself and
clients many times, as well as talked to others who have used it safely
with hundreds of people. So, I believe the risk is very small, and since
surgery is the primary medical treatment for gallstones, the proceedure
just hastened the need for it.<br />
As I mentioned, I tried this proccedure several times when I was
younger. Later, I used some of the herbs mentioned here to assist my
gallbladder, which I knew had problems. Then, during a very intense
period of stress in my life I had a gallbladder attack so servere that
it made it difficult to breathe. I think that had I not been under so
much pressure at the time that I would have tried this proceedure before
having surgery. However, I submitted to the surgery because I was just
so overwhelmed.<br />
As I've seen happen to other people who have had their gallbladder
removed, I have side effects as a result of the surgery. My colon does
not move as well as it used to (bile is a natural laxative). I also have
a harder time digesting fats. However, I understand that over time the
bile ducts enlarge slightly to try to store more bile, so this problem
appears to be easing as time passes.<br />
So, I would encourage people to at least try this therapy before
submitting to surgery. If it works, great. If not, have the surgery.<br />
<h3>
Other Uses for the Flush</h3>
In addition to being used for a sluggish gallbladder or for gall
stones, there are some other situations where this proceedure may be
helpful. My friend Thomas Easley uses it for people who need to bring
their cholesterol down before medical testing. As some of you know, the
medical establishment has lowered the normal ranges for cholesterol in
the mistaken belief that this will prevent heart disease. The normal
range should actually be about 175-275 with 200-250 being optimal.
People within this actual normal range are being encouraged to take
drugs to lower their cholesterol.<br />
The problem is, that you can lose your insurance for failing to
comply with doctor's orders, so if you can reduce your cholesterol
naturally, you can avoid having the doctor prescribe the drugs. This can
also help with medical testing for insurance purposes, as a lower
cholesterol level may earn you a better insurance rate.<br />
The reason this proceedure works for this purpose is that bile is
mostly composed of cholesterol. In fact, 50-60% of the cholesterol
manufactured by the liver is used to make bile. This is why low fat
diets can actually increase cholesterol. Monounsatured fats, like those
found in olive oil, appear to be very good at helping to lower
cholesterol by encouraging bile production.<br />
By increasing bile flow, this proceedure could aslo improve digestion
and metabolism of fats. Theoretically, it could also be beneficial in
fatty liver disease or in clearing fatty tumors and deposits (along with
other remedies).<br />
<h3>
Instructions</h3>
<img align="right" alt="Olive Oil2.jpg" border="0" height="300" hspace="10" src="https://www.treelite.com/articles/images/Olive Oil2.jpg" title="Olive Oil2.jpg" width="200" />Here’s
the standard way to do a gall bladder flush. Start by fasting for 24
to 48 hours on fresh, raw apple juice. Do not use bottled or frozen
juice. Malic acid, an ingredient in the apple juice, is reported to
soften the stones. Edward Shook claims this in his <em>Advanced Treatise in Herbology</em>.
If you can't fast, try eating very lightly and taking an herbal
laxative (like LBS II or cascara sagrada) to clear the colon. You could
also take Fibralgia, which contains malic acid and magnesium, for a
similar effect.<br />
Just before going to bed at the close of the fast, drink 1/2 cup of
olive oil and 1/2 cup of lemon juice (you can also use grapefruit
juice). Mix these together thoroughly like you would shake up a salad
dressing. The lemon juice cuts the olive oil and makes it more
palatable. It sounds and smells worse than it tastes. Next, lie on your
right side for a half hour before going to sleep. In the morning, if you
don’t have a bowel movement, take an enema. This procedure may need to
be repeated 2 days in a row.<br />
Generally, you will pass some dark black or green objects that look
like shriveled peas the day after drinking the olive oil and lemon
juice. This may not happen. Remember that these objects are not
gallstones. Chemical analysis has shown they are little balls of
saponified fatty acids (soap). Besides, objects that large could not get
through the bile ducts. Only a stone that is 2 millimeters in diameter
or smaller could be actually be passed.<br />
Even if this proceedure does not pass any stones, it usually eases
the pain and discomfort and allows the problem to become asymptomatic
again. You see, most people with gallstones don’t know they have them,
because they cause no symptoms unless the gallbladder becomes irritated
or inflammed. So, this proceedure appears to eases gall bladder
inflammation (and therefore the pain) and allows the person to resume a
normal life without surgery.<br />
<h3>
Variations on the Proccedure</h3>
I had one practitioner report to me that it worked equally well to
take three Tablespoons of lemon juice mixed with three tablespoons of
olive oil every night for 30 days. A midwife friend of mine recommended
taking a dose of Epsom salt about two or three hours prior to taking the
olive oil and lemon juice. Follow the directions on the container of
Epsom salt as per the dosage.<br />
There are also herbs that can help, especially if you want to work
with this problem more long term. For instance, NSP's Gall Bladder
Formula has been helpful for some. Hydrangea has been helpful for
others. I'll explain more about these remedies next.<br />
<h3>
Can You Dissolve Gallstones?</h3>
I have no documented evidence that herbs or nutrients can dissolve
gallstones. However, there is some antecdotal evidence that they might.
To understand what remedies one might use for long term care of the
gallbladder and for dealing with stones, we need to know that gallstones
come in two basic varieties.<br />
<img align="left" alt="Gallstones.jpg" border="0" height="152" hspace="10" src="https://www.treelite.com/articles/images/Gallstones.jpg" title="Emmanuelm at en.wikipedia [CC-BY-3.0 (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0)], via Wikimedia Commons" width="250" />The
most common are gallstones made from cholesterol. About 80% of stones
are this type. The other 20% are composed of pigments, bilirubin and
calcium (usually calcium carbonate, the same kind of calcium found in
urinary stones). In the picture on the left which I got from Wikipedia
(Emmanuelm at en.wikipedia) you can see a gallbladder filled with
stones. According the caption, the large yellowish colored ones are the
cholesterol stones. The smaller greenish ones are calcium stones.<br />
<a href="https://www.treelite.com/articles/articles/hydrangea-%28hydrangea-arborescens%29.html">Hydrangea</a>
could help to dissolve the calcium based stones. It works well for
kidney stones and some people have reported to me it worked for
gallstones, too. Magnesium helps with urinary stones (including helping
to prevent them from forming) so it may help with gallstones, too. This
may also explain the benefit of Epsom salt in the proceedure.<br />
According to Shook, the malic acid in apple juice helps with the
cholesterol stones. It's possible the olive oil does, too. At least some
natural healers think this is the case. <a href="https://www.treelite.com/articles/articles/fibralgia.html">Fibralgia</a> contains both malic acid and magnesium and might be helpful for gallstones when taken regularly.<br />
Dehydration is part of what causes these stones. Water is needed to
keep the components of bile in solution, so drinking plenty of water is
important for keeping your gallbladder healthy.<br />
Herbs called cholagogues increase the flow of bile. This can be
helpful, along with water, to increase bile flow, which may help to
dissolve stones slowly over a period of weeks and months. Herbs that
have this property include Oregon grape, dandelion root, artichoke,
barberry bark, yellow dock root, fringetree bark, turmeric and
celandine. Any of these can be taken before attempting the gallbladder
flush to increase its effectiveness, or afterwards to continue improving
gallbladder function.<br />
I do not know if CurcuminBP would work in place of turmeric for
increasing bile flow. But, it can help with the inflammation (and pain)
of the gallbladder attack. <a href="https://www.treelite.com/articles/articles/gallbladder-formula.html">Gall Bladder Formula</a>
can be helpful, too. It's not a very strong cholagogue, but it does
have anti-inflammatory and anti-spasmodic properties. The wild yam in it
is particularly good for relaxing the gallbladder and easing the
inflammation.<br />
Of course, if these procedures do not bring relief, medical help should be sought. <br /><br />Donnahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15012486034037019996noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5720402479541076630.post-80745450943118920752019-09-12T13:57:00.002-07:002019-09-12T13:57:36.791-07:00DON'T GET SCHOOLED BY GERMS!!!<div class="publish-container">

kids head back to school they bring home more than homework! They bring
back lots of germs. Those germs wreak havoc on immune systems and cause
runny noses, coughs, colds, and flu. If germs are the villain then who
is our hero? How can we stop the nefarious germs from beating down our
immune systems?? There is a super power that we all have and that super
power is super easy...proper hand washing and boosting our immunity!
Hand washing is one of the best ways to keep yourself healthy and to
minimize your exposure to the germs that can make you sick. </span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', 'Comic Sans', 'Chalkboard SE', sans-serif; font-size: 11px; font-weight: bold;">WAIT! -</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', 'Comic Sans', 'Chalkboard SE', sans-serif; font-size: 11px;">

This ends up weakening our immune systems by killing off the good
bacteria, which leaves us exposed to sickness—what we were trying to
avoid in the first place! In order to avoid you or your kiddo's from
getting sick, as everyone heads back to school, boosting immunity is
essential. About 70% of your immune system resides in your gut. This
means that the state of your gut directly impacts the state of your
immune system. Other factors besides germs can also weaken the immune
systems of you and your children. Poor diet, stress, lack of sleep, and
even genetics play a role in the condition of your gut, which also
changes the condition of your immune system. Probiotics play a crucial
role in helping you maintain gut health by flooding your gut with good
bacteria to help control the bad bacteria. </span>

- The human body relies on a healthy level of probiotics for numerous
functions, including metabolizing foods, absorbing nutrients and
maintaining a proper balance of intestinal flora. Probiotic microbes
have a symbiotic relationship with their human hosts—both the probiotics
and the humans benefit from their relationship. It is estimated that
over 400 different types of normal flora inhabit the human
gastrointestinal and genitourinary tracts. Studies have shown that
children age 1 to 6 years old who attended day care centers and were
given milk containing Lactobacillus rhamnosus missed fewer days of day
care than children not receiving the probiotic. Studies have also shown
that a healthy intestinal bacterial colonization may reduce the risk of
food allergies in infants. Researchers have also found that probiotics
aid digestion.

If your goal is to boost immunity, then increasing your fruits and
veggie intake will help. One way is by increasing Vitamin C, which gives
your immune system a huge boost, while also helping to ward off any
existing colds or sickness. Did you know that Vitamin C is an
antioxidant? This makes it beneficial in detoxifying the body to remove
harmful toxins that can disrupt your gut health. Vitamin C is primarily
known for its immune-boosting benefits, but it also helps relieve stress
and boost skin health. There are so many reasons to increase your
Vitamin C!</span>

We “Google” it! It’s such a popular and trusted search engine that we’ve
even turned the noun (Google) into a verb. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 13px;">So
how is our ZYTO BALANCE technology similar to Google’s? Well, in terms
of their search engine, you might say that the only major difference is
scope. With Google, you can find information about anything and
everything from a number of different sources. But with ZYTO, you
discover a wealth of information directly from YOUR body.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-size: 13px;">While
Google scans through trillions of web pages during an internet search,
similarly ZYTO scans through the body for reactions to a specific group
of digital signatures that may be balancers or stressors to the body.
While each “search term” is introduced to the body, ZYTO’s algorithm
analyzes the body’s galvanic skin response for fluctuations then
determines the coherence to each digital signature.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 13px;">After
a scan, the ZYTO BALANCE creates a personalized report which
prioritizes your responses according to their relevance. The first part
of the ZYTO report is set up similarly to a search engine results page
with the most coherent items listed at the top, and from there you can
dive deeper to discover more information. And the great part is your
results will always be an accurate picture of the body’s response in
real time. You’ll not only have the ability to know what immediate
adjustments you should make…but you can also track your progress!</span></div>

which nutritional products and other wellness items you can use to help

<b><i><span style="border: none windowtext 1.0pt; mso-border-alt: none windowtext 0in; padding: 0in;">Diva Steam</span></i></b> is done much like a facial, except that
in this case, steam rises opening the pores of the skin and the beneficial
compounds in the herbs are absorbed through the open pores of the pelvic floor.
These tissues are exceptionally porous and absorbent, and the warmth of the
steam helps to soften and open them. The herbs medicinal properties, including
their oils, are released (due to the special steeping process) and carried to
the surface of your skin, and inside , where they are absorbed into the bloodstream
and into to the uterus. The herbal steam increases circulation, thins mucus,
and cleanses the entire reproductive system, allowing it to shed unnecessary
membranes and build-up. The results are varied, and amazing.</span></div>

These are individual-sized pies made in little glass jars that can go
straight from your freezer to your oven to your mouth. SO cute. You can make
these with store-bought crust and canned filling or jazz it up with homemade
like we do. And just for added cuteness we teamed up with crafting
expert <a href="http://www.lollychops.com/">Lolly</a> for some personalized
tags. These are just about the best little gift from the kitchen you
could share with someone!<br />

<br />
<b>Here’s the basic recipe (for 4 pies)</b><br />
2 C prepared fruit (pitted, diced, peeled, etc.)<br />
2 T sugar- brown or white (use more or less depending on sweetness of fruit)<br />
2 T flour- (again, more if your fruit is super juicy like cherries, less if
it’s pretty dry)<br />
1 T butter (divided between the pies)<br />
Seasonings/flavorings- cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla and almond extract, citrus
zest etc)<br />
Play around with it and come up with something yummy! When your filling is
all combined, divide it between the jars and dot a pat of butter on top (about
1/4 T)<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: 15.5pt;">Step 4: Top it off</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: 15.5pt;">Step 5: Freeze ’em!</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: 15.5pt;">Step 6: Bake ’em</span></b><br />
<br />
<b><i>Remove lids from jars and place jars on a baking sheet. Place baking
sheet in a COLD oven. Then turn the oven to 375. That will give the jars a
chance to warm up slowly as the oven preheats.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span></i></b>Bake for about 50-60 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown
and the middles are bubbly. If you’re baking them fresh and not frozen they
take about 45 minutes.Donnahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15012486034037019996noreply@blogger.com6Gastonia, NC 28054, USA35.2528422 -81.1526976000000135.1491162 -81.314059100000009 35.356568200000005 -80.991336100000012tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5720402479541076630.post-43054912981516720242017-05-08T09:15:00.000-07:002017-05-08T09:15:35.536-07:00DIY Sunscreen Bar <!--[if !mso]>

<strong><span style="font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt;">Sunscreen Bar
Instructions:</span></strong><span style="color: black;"></span></h3>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: 11.0pt;">1.<span style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;">
</span>Combine all ingredients (except zinc oxide and essential oils if using)
in a double boiler, or a glass bowl over a smaller saucepan with 1 inch of
water in it.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: 11.0pt;">2.<span style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;">
</span>Turn the burner on and bring water to a boil. Stir ingredients
constantly until they are melted and smooth:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: 11.0pt;">3.<span style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;">
</span>Remove from heat and add the zinc oxide powder and essential oils.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: 11.0pt;">4.<span style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;">
</span>Gently stir by hand until essential oils are incorporated.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: 11.0pt;">5.<span style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;">
</span>Carefully pour into molds or whatever you will be allowing the lotion
bars to harden in. I used these silicon baking cups, though any mold would
work. This recipe exactly filled 12 silicon baking cups when I made it.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: 11.0pt;">6.<span style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;">
</span>Allow the lotion bars to cool completely before attempting to pop out of
molds. These could be made in different shaped molds for different holiday
gifts (hearts for valentines, flowers for Mother's day, etc.) or made in a
square baking pan and then cut into actual bars.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: 11.0pt;">7.<span style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;">
</span>They can be stored at room temperature or in the fridge or freezer for
longer term storage. Keep below 80 degrees or they will melt! Adjust coverage
to your needs and be careful not to burn while determining how long you can
spend in the sun with these.</span></div>

<h1>
Vitamin D Is More Effective Than Flu Vaccine, Study Says </h1>

<figure class="op-interactive">
</figure>Conventional health authorities claim getting a flu shot each year is
the best way to ward off influenza. But where's the actual science backing up
that claim?
If you've repeatedly fallen for this annual propaganda campaign, you may be
surprised to find the medical literature suggests vitamin D may actually be a
FAR more effective strategy, and the evidence for this goes back at least a
decade. <br />
Dr. John Cannell, founder of the <a href="https://www.naturessunshine.com/us/product/vitamin-d3-60-tabs/1155/?sponser=1802869" target="_blank">Vitamin D</a> Council, was one of the first to
introduce the idea that vitamin D deficiency may actually be an underlying
CAUSE of influenza. <br />
His hypothesis<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_ednref1"></a><a href="http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2017/02/27/vitamin-d-better-than-flu-vaccine.aspx#_edn1"><span style="mso-bookmark: _ednref1;"><sup><span style="font-size: 7.5pt;">1</span></sup></span><span style="mso-bookmark: _ednref1;"></span></a><span style="mso-bookmark: _ednref1;"></span>
was initially published in the journal Epidemiology and Infection in 2006.<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_ednref2"></a><a href="http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2017/02/27/vitamin-d-better-than-flu-vaccine.aspx#_edn2"><span style="mso-bookmark: _ednref2;"><sup><span style="font-size: 7.5pt;">2</span></sup></span><span style="mso-bookmark: _ednref2;"></span></a><span style="mso-bookmark: _ednref2;"></span>
It was subsequently followed up with another study published in the Virology
Journal in 2008.<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_ednref3"></a><a href="http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2017/02/27/vitamin-d-better-than-flu-vaccine.aspx#_edn3"><span style="mso-bookmark: _ednref3;"><sup><span style="font-size: 7.5pt;">3</span></sup></span><span style="mso-bookmark: _ednref3;"></span></a><span style="mso-bookmark: _ednref3;"></span>
<br />
The following year, the largest nationally representative study<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_ednref4"></a><a href="http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2017/02/27/vitamin-d-better-than-flu-vaccine.aspx#_edn4"><span style="mso-bookmark: _ednref4;"><sup><span style="font-size: 7.5pt;">4</span></sup></span><span style="mso-bookmark: _ednref4;"></span></a><span style="mso-bookmark: _ednref4;"></span>
of its kind to date discovered that people with the lowest vitamin D levels
indeed reported having significantly more colds or cases of the flu. In
conclusion, lead author Dr. Adit Ginde stated: <br />
<i>"The findings of our study support an important role for vitamin D
in prevention of common respiratory infections, such as colds and the flu.
Individuals with common lung diseases, such as asthma or emphysema, may be
particularly susceptible to respiratory infections from vitamin D
deficiency."</i> <br />

Since then, a number of studies have come to similar conclusions. Most
recently, a scientific review<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_ednref5"></a><a href="http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2017/02/27/vitamin-d-better-than-flu-vaccine.aspx#_edn5"><span style="mso-bookmark: _ednref5;"><sup><span style="font-size: 7.5pt;">5</span></sup></span><span style="mso-bookmark: _ednref5;"></span></a><span style="mso-bookmark: _ednref5;"></span><sup><span style="font-size: 7.5pt;">,<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_ednref6"></a><a href="http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2017/02/27/vitamin-d-better-than-flu-vaccine.aspx#_edn6"><span style="mso-bookmark: _ednref6;">6</span><span style="mso-bookmark: _ednref6;"></span></a></span></sup><span style="mso-bookmark: _ednref6;"></span> of 25 randomized controlled trials
confirmed that vitamin D supplementation boosts immunity and cuts rates of cold
and flu. <br />
Overall, the studies included nearly 11,000 individuals from more than a
dozen countries. As reported by Time Magazine:<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_ednref7"></a><a href="http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2017/02/27/vitamin-d-better-than-flu-vaccine.aspx#_edn7"><span style="mso-bookmark: _ednref7;"><sup><span style="font-size: 7.5pt;">7</span></sup></span><span style="mso-bookmark: _ednref7;"></span></a><span style="mso-bookmark: _ednref7;"></span><br />
<i>"… [P]eople who took daily or weekly vitamin D supplements were
less likely to report acute respiratory infections, like influenza or the
common cold, than those who did not … </i><br />
<i>For people with the most significant vitamin D deficiencies (blood
levels below 10 [ng/mL]), taking a supplement cut their risk of respiratory
infection in half.</i><br />
<i>People with higher vitamin D levels also saw a small reduction in risk:
about 10 percent, which is about equal to the protective effect of the
injectable flu vaccine, the researchers say." </i><br />
Like Cannell before them, the researchers believe vitamin D offers
protection by increasing antimicrobial peptides in your lungs, and that
"[t]his may be one reason why colds and flus are most common in the
winter, when sunlight exposure (and therefore the body's natural vitamin D
production) is at its lowest …"<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_ednref8"></a><a href="http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2017/02/27/vitamin-d-better-than-flu-vaccine.aspx#_edn8"><span style="mso-bookmark: _ednref8;"><sup><span style="font-size: 7.5pt;">8</span></sup></span><span style="mso-bookmark: _ednref8;"></span></a><span style="mso-bookmark: _ednref8;"></span><br />
According to this international research team, vitamin D supplementation
could prevent more than 3.25 million cases of cold and flu each year in the U.K. alone.<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_ednref9"></a><a href="http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2017/02/27/vitamin-d-better-than-flu-vaccine.aspx#_edn9"><span style="mso-bookmark: _ednref9;"><sup><span style="font-size: 7.5pt;">9</span></sup></span><span style="mso-bookmark: _ednref9;"></span></a><span style="mso-bookmark: _ednref9;"></span>
Another statistic showing vitamin D is a more effective strategy than flu
vaccine is the "number needed to treat" (NNT).<br />
Overall, one person would be spared from influenza for every 33 people
taking a vitamin D supplement (NNT = 33), whereas 40 people have to receive the
flu vaccine in order to prevent one case of the flu (NNT = 40). <br />
Among those with severe vitamin D deficiency at baseline, the NNT was 4. In
other words, if you're vitamin D deficient to begin with, vitamin D
supplementation is 10 times more effective than the flu vaccine.<br />
<h2>
Optimizing <a href="https://www.naturessunshine.com/us/product/vitamin-d3-60-tabs/1155/?sponser=1802869" target="_blank">Vitamin D</a> May Be Your Best Defense Against Influenza </h2>
In my view, optimizing your vitamin D levels is one of the absolute best
flu-prevention and optimal health strategies available. Your diet also plays a
significant role of course, as it lays the foundation for good immune function.<br />
A high-sugar diet is a sure-fire way to diminish your body's innate ability
to fight off infections of all kinds by radically impairing the functioning of
your immune system.<br />
However, I do not agree that fortifying more processed foods with vitamin D
is the best solution, although I realize it could potentially have a more
widespread impact among people who remain unaware of the beneficial health
effects of sunlight in general.<br />
I believe sensible sun exposure is the ideal way to optimize your vitamin D.
Taking a vitamin D3 supplement is only recommended in cases when you simply
cannot obtain sufficient amounts of sensible sun exposure. <br />
It's also important to point out that, contrary to what's reported by most
mainstream media, including NPR report above, most people cannot optimize their
vitamin D levels by getting the recommended 600 IUs of vitamin D from fortified
foods. The dose you need really depends on your current blood level of vitamin
D.<br />
If it's very low, you may need 8,000 to 10,000 IUs of vitamin D3 per day in
order to reach and maintain a clinically relevant level of 45 to 60 nanograms
per milliliter (ng/mL). The only way to know how much you need is to get tested
at least once or twice each year. <br />
If you've been supplementing for some time and your levels are still below
45 ng/mL, you then know you have to increase your dose further. If using an
oral supplement, also make sure to boost your vitamin K2 and magnesium intake,
as these nutrients help optimize vitamin D levels. <br />

Other Studies Supporting Link Between <a href="https://www.naturessunshine.com/us/product/vitamin-d3-60-tabs/1155/?sponser=1802869" target="_blank">Vitamin D</a> Deficiency and Influenza </h2>
In a study published in 2010,<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_ednref10"></a><a href="http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2017/02/27/vitamin-d-better-than-flu-vaccine.aspx#_edn10"><span style="mso-bookmark: _ednref10;"><sup><span style="font-size: 7.5pt;">10</span></sup></span><span style="mso-bookmark: _ednref10;"></span></a><span style="mso-bookmark: _ednref10;"></span>
researchers investigated the effect of vitamin D on the incidence of seasonal
influenza A in schoolchildren. The randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled
study included 430 children, half of which were given 1,200 IUs of vitamin D3
per day while the other half received a placebo. <br />
Overall, children in the treatment group were 42 percent less likely to come
down with the flu. According to the authors: <i>"This study suggests that
vitamin D3 supplementation during the winter may reduce the incidence of
influenza A, especially in specific subgroups of schoolchildren."</i> <br />
Another study<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_ednref11"></a><a href="http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2017/02/27/vitamin-d-better-than-flu-vaccine.aspx#_edn11"><span style="mso-bookmark: _ednref11;"><sup><span style="font-size: 7.5pt;">11</span></sup></span><span style="mso-bookmark: _ednref11;"></span></a><span style="mso-bookmark: _ednref11;"></span>
published that same year concluded that infection-fighting T-cells need help
from vitamin D in order to activate. This is yet another mechanism that helps
explain why vitamin D is so effective against infections. <br />
When a T cell recognizes foreign invaders like bacteria or viruses, it sends
activating signals to the vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene. <br />
The VDR gene then starts producing a protein that binds vitamin D in the T
cell. A downstream effect of this is PLC-gamma1 protein production, which
subsequently enables the T cell to fight the infection. At the time, lead researcher
Carsten Geisler told Food Consumer:<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_ednref12"></a><a href="http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2017/02/27/vitamin-d-better-than-flu-vaccine.aspx#_edn12"><span style="mso-bookmark: _ednref12;"><sup><span style="font-size: 7.5pt;">12</span></sup></span><span style="mso-bookmark: _ednref12;"></span></a><span style="mso-bookmark: _ednref12;"></span><br />
<i>"When a T cell is exposed to a foreign pathogen, it extends a
signaling device or "antenna" known as a vitamin D receptor, with
which it searches for vitamin D. This means the T cell must have vitamin D or
activation of the cell will cease. If the T cells cannot find enough vitamin D
in the blood, they won't even begin to mobilize."</i><br />
With that understanding, it's no wonder flu shots don't work. Flu vaccines
do absolutely nothing to address the underlying problem of vitamin D deficiency,
which is effectively hindering your immune system from working properly.<br />
In fact, flu vaccines tend to deteriorate your immune function, and their
side effects can be significant.<br />
<h2>
'Gold Standard' Studies Ignored by Mainstream Media </h2>
The gold standard of scientific analysis, the so-called Cochrane Database
Review, has also issued several reports between 2006 and 2012, all of which
decimate the claim that flu vaccinations are the most effective prevention
method available. In 2010, Cochrane published the following bombshell
conclusion, which was completely ignored by mainstream media:<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_ednref13"></a><a href="http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2017/02/27/vitamin-d-better-than-flu-vaccine.aspx#_edn13"><span style="mso-bookmark: _ednref13;"><sup><span style="font-size: 7.5pt;">13</span></sup></span><span style="mso-bookmark: _ednref13;"></span></a><span style="mso-bookmark: _ednref13;"></span>
<br />
<i>"Influenza vaccines have a modest effect in reducing influenza
symptoms and working days lost. There is no evidence that they affect
complications, such as pneumonia, or transmission. WARNING: This review
includes 15 out of 36 trials funded by industry (four had no funding
declaration). </i><br />
<i>An earlier systematic review of 274 influenza vaccine studies published
up to 2007 found industry funded studies were published in more prestigious
journals and cited more than other studies independently from methodological
quality and size. Studies funded from public sources were significantly less
likely to report conclusions favorable to the vaccines …"</i><br />
So, despite the fact that 15 of the 36 studies included were biased by
industry interests, they still couldn't come up with evidence supporting the
conventional claim that flu vaccines are the best and most effective prevention
available against influenza! <br />
<h2>
Scientific Reviews Show Vaccinating Children and Elderly Is Ineffective</h2>
Cochrane has issued several reports addressing the effectiveness of flu
vaccines on infants and the elderly — two groups that tend to be the most
targeted by flu vaccine advertising — and all have had negative findings. For
children:<br />
<span class="bullet">1. </span>A large-scale, systematic review<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_ednref14"></a><a href="http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2017/02/27/vitamin-d-better-than-flu-vaccine.aspx#_edn14"><span style="mso-bookmark: _ednref14;"><sup><span style="font-size: 7.5pt;">14</span></sup></span><span style="mso-bookmark: _ednref14;"></span></a><span style="mso-bookmark: _ednref14;"></span>
of 51 studies, published in the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews in
2006, found no evidence that the flu vaccine is any more effective than a
placebo in children under two. The studies involved 260,000 children, age 6 to
23 months. <br />
<span class="bullet">2. </span>In 2008, another Cochrane review<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_ednref15"></a><a href="http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2017/02/27/vitamin-d-better-than-flu-vaccine.aspx#_edn15"><span style="mso-bookmark: _ednref15;"><sup><span style="font-size: 7.5pt;">15</span></sup></span><span style="mso-bookmark: _ednref15;"></span></a><span style="mso-bookmark: _ednref15;"></span>
again concluded that "little evidence is available" that the flu
vaccine is effective for children under the age of two. Even more disturbingly,
the authors stated that: <br />
<i>"It was surprising to find only one study of inactivated vaccine in
children under two years, given current recommendations to vaccinate healthy
children from six months old in the USA
and Canada.
If immunization in children is to be recommended as a public health policy,
large-scale studies assessing important outcomes and directly comparing vaccine
types are urgently required."</i><br />
<span class="bullet">3. </span>In a 2012 review,<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_ednref16"></a><a href="http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2017/02/27/vitamin-d-better-than-flu-vaccine.aspx#_edn16"><span style="mso-bookmark: _ednref16;"><sup><span style="font-size: 7.5pt;">16</span></sup></span><span style="mso-bookmark: _ednref16;"></span></a><span style="mso-bookmark: _ednref16;"></span>
Cochrane concluded that "in children aged from two years, nasal spray
vaccines made from weakened influenza viruses were better at preventing illness
caused by the influenza virus than injected vaccines made from the killed
virus. Neither type was particularly good at preventing "flu-like
illness" caused by other types of viruses. In children under the age of
two, the efficacy of inactivated vaccine was similar to placebo."<br />
The available evidence with regards to protecting the elderly is equally
abysmal. <br />
<span class="bullet">4. </span>In 2010, Cochrane concluded that:<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_ednref17"></a><a href="http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2017/02/27/vitamin-d-better-than-flu-vaccine.aspx#_edn17"><span style="mso-bookmark: _ednref17;"><sup><span style="font-size: 7.5pt;">17</span></sup></span><span style="mso-bookmark: _ednref17;"></span></a><span style="mso-bookmark: _ednref17;"></span>
"The available evidence is of poor quality and provides no guidance
regarding the safety, efficacy or effectiveness of influenza vaccines for
people aged 65 years or older."<br />
<span class="bullet">5. </span>Cochrane also reviewed whether or not
vaccinating health care workers can help protect the elderly patients with whom
they work. In conclusion, the authors stated that:<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_ednref18"></a><a href="http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2017/02/27/vitamin-d-better-than-flu-vaccine.aspx#_edn18"><span style="mso-bookmark: _ednref18;"><sup><span style="font-size: 7.5pt;">18</span></sup></span><span style="mso-bookmark: _ednref18;"></span></a><span style="mso-bookmark: _ednref18;"></span>
"[T]here is no evidence that vaccinating health care workers prevents
influenza in elderly residents in long-term care facilities." <br />

Annual Flu Vaccinations May
Raise Risk of More Serious Infections </h2>
Other recent studies have shown that with each successive annual flu
vaccination, the protection afforded by the vaccine appears to diminish.<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_ednref19"></a><a href="http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2017/02/27/vitamin-d-better-than-flu-vaccine.aspx#_edn19"><span style="mso-bookmark: _ednref19;"><sup><span style="font-size: 7.5pt;">19</span></sup></span><span style="mso-bookmark: _ednref19;"></span></a><span style="mso-bookmark: _ednref19;"></span><sup><span style="font-size: 7.5pt;">,<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_ednref20"></a><a href="http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2017/02/27/vitamin-d-better-than-flu-vaccine.aspx#_edn20"><span style="mso-bookmark: _ednref20;"> 20</span><span style="mso-bookmark: _ednref20;"></span></a></span></sup><span style="mso-bookmark: _ednref20;"></span> Research published in 2014 concluded

Besides vitamin D, there are a number of other foods and supplements that
can be beneficial for colds and influenza, including the following:<br />
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" class="MsoNormalTable" style="mso-cellspacing: 1.5pt;">

<tr style="mso-yfti-firstrow: yes; mso-yfti-irow: 0;">
<td style="padding: .75pt .75pt .75pt .75pt;"><b>Garlic:</b><a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_ednref31"></a><a href="http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2017/02/27/vitamin-d-better-than-flu-vaccine.aspx#_edn31"><span style="mso-bookmark: _ednref31;"><sup><span style="font-size: 7.5pt;">31</span></sup></span><span style="mso-bookmark: _ednref31;"></span></a> Garlic has natural antiviral,
antibiotic and antifungal activity and has long been hailed for its immune
boosting effects. <br />
The Cochrane Database, which has repeatedly demonstrated that the science
in support of the flu vaccine is flimsy at best, has also reviewed studies on
alternatives, including garlic.<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_ednref32"></a><a href="http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2017/02/27/vitamin-d-better-than-flu-vaccine.aspx#_edn32"><span style="mso-bookmark: _ednref32;"><sup><span style="font-size: 7.5pt;">32</span></sup></span><span style="mso-bookmark: _ednref32;"></span></a> <br />
Unfortunately, such research is harder to come by, as there's no financial
incentive driving it. <br />
Still, in the singular study identified by the Cochrane group, those who
took garlic daily for three months had fewer colds than those who took a
placebo, and, when they did come down with a cold, the duration of illness
was shorter — an average of 4.5 days compared to 5.5 days for the placebo
group. <br />
While this may not seem overly impressive, it's still better than the
results achieved by the flu drug Tamiflu! </td>
<td style="padding: .75pt .75pt .75pt .75pt;"><b>Zinc:</b> A Cochrane Database Review of the medical research
on <a href="http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2011/03/03/is-zinc-really-good-for-a-cold.aspx">zinc</a>
found that when taken within one day of the first symptoms, zinc can cut down
the time you have a cold by about 24 hours. <br />
Zinc was also found to greatly reduce the severity of symptoms. Zinc was
not recommended for anyone with an underlying health condition, like lowered
immune function, asthma or chronic illness.<br />
I do not recommend taking more than 50 mg a day, and I do not recommend
taking zinc on a daily basis for preventive purposes as you could easily
develop a copper imbalance that way.<b> </b></td>

<h1>
Surprise Findings Regarding Childhood Respiratory Allergies</h1>
</header>
Some
think that allergies are only passed genetically. There are actually
several factors that determine whether or not children will have food,
respiratory, or skin allergies. Some of these findings regarding
childhood respiratory allergies may surprise you. According to the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the region of the country a
child lives in, the years of schooling a child’s parents have, the
amount of money their parents make, and the child’s gender
potentially play a role in determining a child’s likelihood of
showing symptoms of allergies.<br />

<h2>
Region</h2>
As you can see by viewing the infographic above, there are some
slight differences in respiratory and hay fever percentages by region.
The South takes the prize for the highest percentage of children with
respiratory allergies and hay fever symptoms.<br />
<h2>
Gender</h2>
The child’s gender is also a factor. In every region, boys (between
the ages of zero and seventeen) showed a higher percentage of hay
fever/respiratory allergy symptoms than girls. In the most recent study,
2011 – 2013, boys in the Northeast showed symptoms of hay fever and
respiratory allergies 15.7% of the time while girls showed symptoms
13.8% of the time. The gap of approximately two percent takes place in
every region.<br />
<h2>
Other Factors</h2>
According to the CDC, race, family income level, and a parent’s educational are all factors when it comes to allergies.<br />
<blockquote>
<em>“Hispanic children had a lower prevalence of food
allergy, skin allergy, and respiratory allergy compared with children of
other race or ethnicities. Non-Hispanic black children were more likely
to have skin allergies and less likely to have respiratory allergies
compared with non-Hispanic white children.</em><br />
<br />
<em>Food and respiratory allergy prevalence increased with income
level. Children with family income equal to or greater than 200% of the
poverty level had the highest prevalence rates. White children were more
likely to have had hay fever (9%) than black children (7%). + Black
children were more likely to have had skin allergies (19%) than Asian
children (11%) or white children (10%).</em><br />
<br />
<em>Children with a parent who had education beyond a high school
diploma were more likely to have had hay fever, respiratory allergies,
food allergies, and skin allergies than children with a parent who had
less than a high school diploma.</em><br />
<br />
<em>Overall health is also a factor when it comes to allergies.
“Children in fair or poor health were two to three times as likely to
have had respiratory allergies (30%), food allergies (18%), and skin
allergies (28%) as children in excellent or very good health (9%, 5%,
and 11%).”</em></blockquote>
<h2>
Allergy Types</h2>
Of the three major allergy types (food, skin, and respiratory), the
most common is respiratory. Nearly one in 5 children from the age of 10 –
17 reported a respiratory allergy condition within a one-year period.<br />

working with clients who are victims of emotional imbalances that
include, but are limited to, anxiety, panic, and depression, we work
together to help them balance Wholistically: body, mind and spirit.<br />
<br />
Science has demonstrated the importance of cultivating a healthy
intestinal ecology known as the – microbiota – those health-enhancing
microorganisms in our <span style="color: #8080ff;">digestive health - critical inhabitants to achieve wellness. </span><br />
<br />
Research has now validated that the bacteria in your gut can directly
affect your behavior, emotions and everything from the ability to lose
excess weight to our immune responses. This might be surprising for
many, however it’s a critical, and often overlooked factor in treating
anxiety. Healing and restoring balance to one’s digestive tract, ideally
with the help of a nutritionally-aware health professional like a
certified practitioner, can make a huge difference
in alleviating symptoms and overcoming imbalances...<br />
<br />
Your digestive tract can be damaged by chronic stress, medication use
(prescription and over-the-counter), exposure to foods that aren’t
“real” food and have been chemically-altered, toxic environmental
exposure, toxic dental products/restorations, etc., to name a few. In
addition to the biological factors, other factors such as being in an
unhealthy relationship, suffering from low self-esteem, struggling with
panic attacks over needless worry about little things, all affect your
intestinal ecology and therefore manifest throughout your body and mind.<br />
<br />
No matter what the underlying issues of your anxiety, panic attacks
or depression, experiencing it leaves you feeling isolated, down-right
scared and mentally exhausted. When it comes to treating emotional
distress, utilizing multiple agents of change is the most beneficial way
to experience relief. For example, when treating anxiety, it’s
extremely beneficial not only to receive therapy, but also to change
your diet, exercise, use positive patterns of self-talk, self-discipline
for self-care, introduction of relaxation techniques, and
unconditionally understanding that <em>we are what we eat</em>!Donnahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15012486034037019996noreply@blogger.com11308 E Garrison Blvd, Gastonia, NC 28054, USA35.2527601 -81.16248735.2527096 -81.162566 35.252810600000004 -81.162408tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5720402479541076630.post-51220720726079516252017-02-04T06:59:00.000-08:002017-02-04T06:59:42.282-08:00Signs Your Body is TOO ACIDIC...AND...the Health Consequences...<h1 align="left" style="clear: both; color: black; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 24px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.3em; margin-top: 0.3em; margin: 0; padding: 0.3em 0.3em 0.3em 0; text-decoration: none;" width="100%">

and monitoring your urine pH (potential hydrogen) is vital to good
health. A pH level that is below the healthy range means your body is
not doing a good job of ridding your system of acid, therefore, creating
the perfect breeding ground for health-depleting microorganisms to
flourish like viruses, bacteria, yeast, fungus’ and, yes, cancer cells.</span><br />
<span style="color: #8000ff;"><strong>The following are common symptoms that indicate your body is too acidic:</strong></span><br />
<ul><ul>
<li><span style="color: #8000ff;">Inability to lose excess weight –
regardless of dieting or exercise. This occurs because excess waste
product in the form of acid stay stored within the body. It is not being
eliminated because the organs of detoxification/elimination – colon,
kidneys, lymphatics and skin – are not able to do their job of
eliminating toxins. Many of my fibromyalgia clients don’t realize until
we consult that the excess acid is being pushed back into the fat
tissues and causes the “invisible” pain they experience. In addition,
the acidic pH retards weight loss because the acidity acts like a magnet
and keeps toxins in fat cells.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #8000ff;">An acidic body will compensate by
pulling minerals from your tissues and other organs. One of these
minerals is calcium that is necessary for strength and bone health. A
low urine pH causes weak bones as their supply of calcium is depleted;
fractures occur easily, the reason patients with osteoporosis and
osteopenia are asked to avoid acidic foods that deplete calcium
(especially beef, caffeine and soft drinks).</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #8000ff;"><em>Your bones store calcium, the same
as your teeth. A study in the Int’l Journal of Chemical Engineering
showed low pH in the mouth caused demineralization of tooth enamel and
cause mouth bacteria to escalate production of lactic acid that results
in cavities. Also, an acidic mouth may cause sensitivity to foods and
drink temperatures as well as gum disorders/diseases like recession that
leads to periodontitis and gingivitis.</em></span></li>
</ul>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #8000ff;"><em>An acid body allows hordes of
microorganism to invade and multiply therefore triggering the immune
responses and creating chronic fatigue – inhibiting your body’s ability
to absorb essential nutrients. Poor nutrient absorption affects the
body’s abilities to produce hormones and enzymes that produce energy.</em></span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #8000ff;">Your skin is the largest organ of
absorption AND elimination AND one of the detoxifying organs. When the
body is too acidic it becomes prone for bacteria and toxin overload.
When this occurs it is usually a result of the liver not being able to
eliminate the acidic toxic substances and the skin then compensates by
flushing some of them out. When detoxification in this form occurs, it
manifests as acne, clogged pores, allergies, rashes and eczema.</span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #8000ff;">Excessive mucus production is the body’s
natural defense mechanism against acid buildup – its attempting to
flush the body through nasal passages. If you are a victim of frequent
mucus build-up, your body is overloaded with acid. Chronic mucus
buildup, and the irritation it creates, often results in excessive
coughing, clearing of throat, wheezing, sinus infections, breathing
problems, chest pain and sinus headaches.</span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #8000ff;">An acidic body causes the muscles to
constrict – further obstructing the oxygen-carrying blood capillaries
running through the muscles and, therefore, causes strain and oxygen
deprivation. In addition, it obstructs absorption of nutrients and
vitamins from the blood that are necessary for proper function. When
this occurs, the deprived muscles over-exert themselves to continue
function, resulting in soreness and pain. If you experience muscle pain
along with fatigue, without other natural causes like over-exertion,
it’s a clear sign your body is overly acidic.</span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #8000ff;">Inability to get restorative sleep can
also result from a low urine pH. If your body is needing sleep yet you
struggle to get to, or stay, asleep you should check your pH. If your
body is acidic and leaching calcium from your bones to neutralize it, it
can lead to sleeplessness or un-restorative sleep.</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="color: #8000ff;"><strong>Getting Your Body Alkaline…</strong></span><br />
<ul>
<li><strong>Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate – important to keep acids and all
fluids moving and aid in their elimination via the digestive tract. Any
efforts to achieve wellness or overcome an illness will fail if your
body is not receiving adequate hydration. The rule of thumb is to drink
half your weight in ounces (minimum daily). Therefore, if you weigh 150
lbs. you need a minimum of 75 ounces. Any drink that does not have forms
of sugar or caffeine counts as water (Stevia and Lakanto can be used
unlimited). I get tired of plain water so I make herbal teas (hot and
iced) as well as fruit-infused waters.</strong></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><strong>Begin your day with Dr. Gloria’s Hot Lemonade – Yes, lemon
is an acidic fruit but the difference is it’s only acidic outside the
body; when inside it transforms to alkaline and raises your urine pH
level. For an educational flier on the health benefits of Hot Lemonade

</ul>
<ul>
<li>Limit caffeine consumption – organic coffee is actually healthy but
limit it to no more than two cups daily. If you love coffee, like I do,
use organic water-processed decaf to satisfy that craving…and…it won’t

</ul>
<ul>
<li>AVOID – alcohol, soft drinks, processed meats, processed foods and artificial sugars.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Supplement your diet with calcium and magnesium – low pH starves
your body of these minerals by leaching them out of your bones and
tissues – see list of green leafy vegetables below, they are rich in
calcium and magnesium as are organic dairy products. Mackerel and salmon
are rich sources of calcium and magnesium, just watch the source for a
healthy terrain in which they reside and AVOID any farm-raised fish.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Consume plenty of green leafy vegetables and avoid the nightshades
known to accelerate inflammation. The following are the most alkaline:
Kale, broccoli, cucumber, spinach, arugula, collards, chard, lettuce,
zucchini, celery and green asparagus (white asparagus is
acid-producing). Better yet, juice the alkalizing veggies of your choice
into a healthy, green juice and drink it with breakfast.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Be sure to eat organic – genetically-modified food typically contains chemicals and other health-depleting additives.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<strong>NOTE: Be sure to buy those little pH urine testing strips and
check your urine once a week first void of the morning and make a note
of it for reference. The goal should be to have a consistent pH of about
7.3 – 7.5.</strong></div>

Reading
labels is a tricky business.<br />
Consumers are more health-conscious than ever, so food manufacturers use
misleading tricks to convince people to buy their products.<br />
They often do this even when the food is highly processed and unhealthy.<br />
The regulations behind food labeling are complex, so it’s not surprising
that the average consumer has a hard time understanding them.<br />
This article briefly explains how to read food labels, and how to sort out
the junk from the truly healthy foods.<br />
<h2>
Don’t Be Duped By the Claims on The Front</h2>
One of the best tips may be to completely ignore the labels on front of the
packaging.<br />
Front labels try to lure you into purchasing products by making health
claims. Manufacturers want to make you believe that their product is healthier
than other, similar options.<br />
This has actually been studied. Research shows that adding health claims to
front labels affects people’s choices. It makes them believe a product is
healthier than the same product that doesn’t list health claims.<br />
Manufacturers are often dishonest in the way they use these labels. They
tend to use health claims that are misleading, and in some cases downright
false.<br />
Examples include many high-sugar breakfast cereals, like “whole grain” Cocoa
Puffs. Despite the label, these products are not healthy.<br />
This makes it hard for consumers to choose healthy options without a
thorough inspection of the ingredients list.<br />
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<b>Bottom Line:</b> Front labels are often used to lure people
into buying products. However, most of these labels are highly misleading or
downright false.<br />
<h2>
Look At the Ingredients List</h2>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<h2>
</h2>
<br />
Product ingredients are listed by quantity, from highest to lowest amount.<br />
That means that the first listed ingredient is what the manufacturer used
the most of.<br />
A good rule of thumb is to scan the first three ingredients, because they
are the largest part of what you’re eating.<br />
If the first ingredients include refined grains, some sort of sugar or
hydrogenated oils, you can be pretty sure that the product is unhealthy.<br />
Instead, try to choose items that have whole foods listed as the first three
ingredients.<br />
Another good rule of thumb is if the ingredients list is longer than 2–3
lines, you can assume that the product is highly processed.<br />
<b>Bottom Line:</b> Ingredients are listed by quantity, from
highest to lowest. Try looking for products that list whole foods as the first
three ingredients, and be skeptical of foods with long lists of ingredients.Donnahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15012486034037019996noreply@blogger.com0717 N New Hope Rd, Gastonia, NC 28054, USA35.2763832 -81.149273835.2761807 -81.1495888 35.2765857 -81.1489588tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5720402479541076630.post-50505457893066918882016-03-09T08:36:00.002-08:002016-03-09T08:36:25.984-08:00Super ORAC Antioxidant Super ORAC Antioxidant (90 caps)Stock Number: 808-3<br />

<br />Green tea contains polyphenols, which are potent<br />antioxidants. EGCG is considered the most active<br />polyphenol. It appears to help protect brain cells from damage. Mangosteen xanthones are<br />potent antioxidants with a special affinity for supporting the circulatory system. One such<br />xanthone, mangostin, helps the body battle the oxidation of LDL cholesterol. Resveratrol protects<br />both the nervous system and the cardiovascular system. Turmeric contains curcumin, a<br />polyphenol with wonderful health benefits for the immune, circulatory and glandular systems. In<br />studies, curcumin has been shown to inhibit oxidative DNA damage. The açai berry contains<br />powerful anthocyanins—water-soluble compounds with potent antioxidant actions. This fruit also<br />helps protect against superoxide and peroxyl radicals. Other ingredients offer similar antioxidant<br />benefits. All in all, Super ORAC plays an important part in your battle plan for achieving health,<br />vitality and longevity.<br />

And, the number of people suffering from thyroid disorders continues to
rise each year. But the bigger problem is that nearly 60 percent of
these people are completely unaware of their condition—let alone how to
heal it.Millions of people are suffering—trying all kinds of diets,
pills, and treatments to clear their mental fog, to boost energy and
lose weight. Unfortunately, <b>they will all fail unless they learn how to heal the underlying thyroid issues. </b><br />
<br />
Every cell in the body has receptors for thyroid hormone. These
hormones are responsible for the most basic aspects of body function,
impacting all major systems of the body. You can think of the thyroid as
the central gear in a sophisticated engine. If that gear breaks, the
entire engine goes down with it.<br />

Most
people know that thyroid disorders can cause weight gain, digestive
problems, and fatigue. But did you know they can also cause symptoms
like brain fog, depression, dementia, dry skin, hair loss, cold
intolerance, hoarse voice, irregular menstruation, and even infertility?<br />
Thyroid
hormone directly acts on the brain, the G.I. tract, the cardiovascular
system, bone metabolism, red blood cell metabolism, gall bladder and
liver function, steroid hormone production, glucose metabolism, lipid
and cholesterol metabolism, protein metabolism and body temperature
regulation. For starters.<br />

<b>The Gluten-Thyroid Connection</b></h2>
<h3>
<b>After suffering from Thyroid problems for 30 years I finally went Gluten Free and within two weeks my hair has stopped falling out and I am losing weight without even trying. If you have these issues please read this article. </b></h3>
<header class="entry-header"><br /></header><img alt="wheat" class="alignright wp-post-image" height="240" src="http://33q47o1cmnk34cvwth15pbvt120l.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/wheat.jpg" width="240" /><em>This article is part of a special report on Thyroid Disorders. To see the other articles in this series, <a href="http://chriskresser.com/thyroid">click here</a>.</em><br />
<br />
In the <a href="http://chriskresser.com/the-most-important-thing-you-may-not-know-about-hypothyroidism">first article</a>
in this series, I showed that hypothyroidism is an autoimmune disease
in 90% of cases. In this article we’re going to discuss the connection
between autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD) and gluten intolerance.<br />
<br />
Several studies show a strong link between AITD (both Hashimoto’s and Graves’) and gluten intolerance. [<a href="http://www.eje-online.org/cgi/content/abstract/130/2/137">1</a>, <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15244201">2</a>, <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9872614">3</a>, <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12919165">4</a>, <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11768252">5</a>] The link is so well-established that researchers <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9872614">suggest</a> all people with AITD be screened for gluten intolerance, and vice versa.<br />
<br />
What
explains the connection? It’s a case of mistaken identity. The
molecular structure of gliadin, the protein portion of gluten, closely
resembles that of the thyroid gland. When gliadin breaches the
protective barrier of the gut, and enters the bloodstream, the immune
system tags it for destruction. These antibodies to gliadin also cause
the body to attack thyroid tissue. This means if you have AITD and you
eat foods containing gluten, your immune system will attack your
thyroid.<br />
<br />
Even worse, the immune response to gluten can last <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12192201">up to 6 months</a> each time you eat it. This explains why it is <strong>critical</strong>
to eliminate gluten completely from your diet if you have AITD. There’s
no “80/20” rule when it comes to gluten. Being “mostly” gluten-free
isn’t going to cut it. If you’re gluten intolerant, you have to be <strong>100% gluten-free</strong> to prevent immune destruction of your thyroid.<br />
<br />
So
how do you find out if you’re gluten intolerant? Unfortunately,
standard lab tests aren’t very accurate. They test for antibodies to
gluten in the bloodstream. But antibodies in the blood will only be
found in cases where the gut has become so permeable that gluten can
pass through. This is a relatively advanced stage of disease. Blood
tests will miss the many milder cases of gluten intolerance that haven’t
yet progressed to that stage.<br />
<br />
Stool analysis is far more
sensitive, because it detects antibodies produced in the digestive tract
that aren’t yet escaping into the bloodstream. Using this method at <a href="https://www.enterolab.com/">Entero Lab</a>, Dr. Kenneth Fine, a pioneer in the field, has found that <a href="https://www.enterolab.com/StaticPages/EarlyDiagnosis.aspx">up to 35%</a> of Americans are gluten intolerant.<br />
<br />
In
addition to the stool analysis, Dr. Fine’s lab uses a cheek swab to
test for the genes connected with gluten intolerance and celiac disease.
People with HLA DQ genes are <a href="https://www.enterolab.com/StaticPages/EarlyDiagnosis.aspx">more likely</a> than the general population to have autoimmune disease, celiac disease and gluten intolerance. Dr. Fine’s research shows that <a href="https://www.enterolab.com/StaticPages/EarlyDiagnosis.aspx">more than 80%</a> of Americans have one of these gene types.<br />
<br />
When I first read Dr. Fine’s research, I was astounded by the implications. It suggests that <strong>1 in 3 Americans</strong> are gluten intolerant, and that<strong> 8 in 10</strong>
are genetically predisposed to gluten intolerance. This is nothing
short of a public health catastrophe in a nation where the #1 source of
calories is refined flour. But while most are at least aware of the
dangers of sugar, trans-fat and other unhealthy foods, <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18184122">fewer than 1 in 8 people</a>
with celiac disease are aware of their condition. I would guess that an
even lower proportion of people are aware they are gluten intolerant.<br />
<br />
One
reason gluten intolerance goes undetected in so many cases is that both
doctors and patients mistakenly believe it only causes digestive
problems. But gluten intolerance can also present with inflammation in
the joints, skin, respiratory tract and brain – without any obvious gut
symptoms.<br />
<br />
As much improved as Dr. Fine’s methods are, they aren’t
perfect. In some patients with autoimmune disease, their immune system
is so worn out they can no longer produce many antibodies.<br />
Hashmioto’s,
the most common autoimmune thyroid condition, is primarily a Th1
dominant condition. I’ll explain what this means in further detail in a
future article. For now, what you need to understand is that in
Th1-dominant conditions, the Th2 system is suppressed. The Th2 system is
the part of the immune system responsible for producing antibodies.
When the Th2 system is severely depressed, the body’s ability to produce
antibodies is impaired. The levels may be so low that they won’t show
up on a test. So, even if you have gluten intolerance, your test for
gluten antibodies may be falsely negative if you have Th1-dominant
Hashimoto’s.<br />
<br />
This is why I recommend that you avoid gluten if you
have AITD, regardless of whether tests show an active antibody response.
This is especially true if you have one of the genes (HLA DQ1,2, or 3)
that predisposes you to developing gluten intolerance. In my opinion
continuing to eat gluten when you have a confirmed autoimmune condition
simply isn’t worth risking the immune destruction it could cause.<br />
<br />
In
fact, the more I learn about gluten and its effects on the body, the
more I think we’d all probably be better off not eating it. Mark Sisson
has written extensively about the dangers of <a href="http://www.marksdailyapple.com/gluten-celiac-disease/">gluten</a> and <a href="http://www.marksdailyapple.com/why-grains-are-unhealthy/">gluten-containing grains</a>,
so head over there and have a look if this is new to you. The short
version: foods that contain gluten (both whole grains and flours)
contain substances that inhibit nutrient absorption, damage our
intestinal lining, and – as I’ve described in this article – activate a
potentially destructive autoimmune response. What’s more, there are no
nutrients in gluten-containing foods that you can’t get more easily and
efficiently from foods that don’t contain gluten.<br />
<br />
The good news is
that if you have AITD and are gluten intolerant removing gluten
completely from your diet will dramatically improve your health. It’s
not easy, but it’s worth it.<br />

CrockPot Recipe for Sweet and Spicy Ground Turkey and Sweet Potato Stew with Coconut Milk
</h3>
<div class="post-header">
</div>
Makes 4-6 servings; recipe inspired by Sweet and Spicy Asian Pork Shoulder from Real Simple Magazine.<br />
<br />
Ingredients:<br />
1 - 1 1/4 lbs. ground turkey (I use ground turkey with 7% fat, but not turkey breast)<br />
2 tsp. + 1 tsp. olive oil<br />
1 onion, chopped in pieces about 1/2 inch<br />
2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into pieces about 1 inch<br />
1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce1/2 cup chicken stock<br />
1/3 cup sugar, Splenda, or Stevia granulated (I used Stevia; use Splenda or Stevia for South Beach Diet)<br />
2 T brown sugar (or use 2 T more of the sweetener of your choice)<br />
2-3 T Chili Garlic Sauce (I used 2 T, which was plenty spicy for me!)<br />
2 tsp. minced ginger (I used minced ginger from a jar)<br />
2 tsp. minced garlic<br />
1 can light coconut milk<br />
1/2 cup green onions sliced in 1 inch pieces + more thinly sliced green onion for garnish if desired<br />
cooked white or brown rice for serving, optional<br />
<br />
Instructions:<br />
Spray CrockPot with non-stick spray. I used a 3.5 quart CrockPot for this recipe.<br />
<br />
Heat 2 tsp. olive oil in a heavy frying pan and brown the ground turkey,
breaking it up with the turner as it cooks. This may take 7-8 minutes
but don't rush the browning step. Put browned meat into the CrockPot.
Add 1 tsp. more olive oil if you need it and saute the onions until they
are soft and lightly browned, about 4-5 minutes. Add onions to the
CrockPot. Peel the sweet potatoes and cut into pieces about 1 inch
square. Add sweet potatoes to the CrockPot.<br />
<br />
Mix together the soy sauce, chicken stock, sweetener of your choice,
brown sugar (or more sweetener), Chili Garlic Sauce, minced ginger, and
minced garlic and pour over ingredients in the CrockPot. Cook on high
for 2 1/2 to 3 hours, or until the sweet potatoes are done and starting
to fall apart just a little. (I stirred it a couple of times, but it's
not essential.)<br />
<br />
When the sweet potatoes are done, add the can of light coconut milk and
the green onion pieces, turn heat to low, and cook 30 minutes more.
Serve hot, with brown or white rice and garnished with thinly sliced
green onions if desired.<br />
<br />
To Make with Leftover Turkey:<br />
Add the leftover chopped turkey about 10-15 minutes before you add the coconut milk. <span _mce_style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span></li>

what is going into your garden. Many homemade sprays have been used with good
results to control harmful insects. They usually involve noxious (but
non-toxic) ingredients such as garlic, cayenne, stinging nettles or horsetail
which are diluted in water and blended to be sprayed on the plants. Here are a

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For lawn or garden
grubs, there is a natural remedy called milky spore. The granules are spread on
the soil and cause the grubs to contract a disease that kills them. This
natural control affects only the grubs, leaving the beneficial organisms
unharmed. Milky spore multiplies over time and will sit inactive, waiting for
grubs to infect. One treatment is said to last 40 years. The grubs are actually
the larvae of Japanese beetles. So, when you kill the grubs you kill the
beetle.</div>

<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Lime sulfur and
dormant oil, available at nurseries and garden centers, can be sprayed on the
trunk and branches of dormant fruit trees. This concoction will suffocate
insect egg cases. Because the oily spray is heavy compared to the other
water-based sprays, you'll need a pump sprayer. These are fairly inexpensive,
and are available to rent from some nurseries. Only use this method while the
tree is dormant, however, or it can kill the tree.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Commercial dormant
oils may contain petroleum oil or kerosene. A less toxic method is to make your
own. Mix 1 cup vegetable oil and 2 tbsp liquid soap in one gallon (4 liters)
water. Mix the soap and oil first, then add the water. Shake often during use.</div>

Caution: Sprays which kill harmful insects will also kill
beneficial insects. Use these homemade remedies selectively, only spraying the
infected plants. Apply them early in the morning or just before dark. Re-apply
after a rain. Wear protective clothing when spraying insecticides.</div>

Cancer is the 2nd leading cause of cancer death and yet early detection can
increase the odds of survival significantly</strong><span style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 17px;">.
So why are so many people avoiding early detection (e.g. a
colonoscopy)? </span></div>

detect cancer, precancerous growths or other abnormalities. And yet, a
successful colonoscopy depends on having a clear colon to allow for an
unobstructed view of the colon wall. Without proper pre-cleansing, the results
won't be accurate. <span>Many people resist having a colonoscopy because they do
not want to take the harsh chemical laxatives recommended to prepare for the
exam. Others find the side effects of these drugs, such as diarrhea, abdominal
cramping, nausea and vomiting, to be so unpleasant that they won't return for a
follow up.</span></span></div>

When
stress is at its peak, it's hard to stop and regroup. Try to prevent stress and
depression in the first place, especially if the holidays have taken an
emotional toll on you in the past.</div>
<ol style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">
<li class="ecxMsoNormal" style="color: #6e6e70; font-family: Calibri,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><b>Identify with your feelings.</b> If someone
close to you has recently passed or you can't be with loved ones, realize that
it's normal to feel sadness and grief. It's OK to take time to cry or express
your feelings. You can't force yourself to be happy just because it's the
holiday season.
</li>
<li class="ecxMsoNormal" style="color: #6e6e70; font-family: Calibri,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><b>Step outside the box.</b> If you feel lonely or
isolated, seek out community, religious or other social events. They can offer
support and companionship. Volunteering your time to help others also is a good
way to lift your spirits and broaden your friendships.
</li>
<li class="ecxMsoNormal" style="color: #6e6e70; font-family: Calibri,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><b>Don't set unrealistic expectations.</b> The
holidays don't have to be perfect or "just like last year." As families change
and grow, traditions and rituals often change as well. Choose a few to hold on
to, and be open to creating new ones. For example, if your adult children can't
come to your house, find new ways to celebrate together, such as sharing
pictures, emails, videos or have everyone get together, via web access, such as
<i>Skype</i> or <i>Google Hangouts</i>.
</li>
<li class="ecxMsoNormal" style="color: #6e6e70; font-family: Calibri,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><b>Enjoy others and be accepting.</b> Try to accept
family members and friends as they are, even if they don't live up to all of
your expectations. Set aside grievances until a more appropriate time for
discussion. And be understanding if others get upset or distressed when
something goes awry. Chances are they're feeling the effects of holiday stress
and depression, too.</li>
</ol>
<div style="color: #6e6e70; font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; margin-left: 30px;">
<div>
5.<b> Know your budget.</b> Before you go gift and food shopping,
decide how much money you can afford to spend. Then stick to your
budget. </div>
<br />
<div>
<b>6</b>. <b>Remember why we give gifts.</b> Don't try
to buy happiness or "one-up" others with an avalanche of gifts. Be creative,
personalize gifts to each individual and it will make them feel special. Don't
go out of your way to buy gifts for every living relative or every kid in your
child's class. If you must provide gifts for people you're not close to, stick
with the basics and your budget. <a href="http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001VgUvVofwb6g4q9mYh9Q7K_LlgP5yJsJoltTNaTw1p9sT-cC2RfFG7OTG99lUcjRMZEAsGNVKFBuWu00JP6Fq205E9ql3riypeubFp-tIU9hKVhbERom1OL4UZMppJ58y7J-zwbMNuECQV3ngeCSbLh1MeqiE628R17qp9OiQFmNlRomuJNn3RQ==" shape="rect" style="color: blue; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank" title="http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001VgUvVofwb6g4q9mYh9Q7K_LlgP5yJsJoltTNaTw1p9sT-cC2RfFG7OTG99lUcjRMZEAsGNVKFBuWu00JP6Fq205E9ql3riypeubFp-tIU9hKVhbERom1OL4UZMppJ58y7J-zwbMNuECQV3ngeCSbLh1MeqiE628R17qp9OiQFmNlRomuJNn3RQ=="><span style="color: blue; text-decoration: underline;" title="http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001VgUvVofwb6g4q9mYh9Q7K_LlgP5yJsJoltTNaTw1p9sT-cC2RfFG7OTG99lUcjRMZEAsGNVKFBuWu00JP6Fq205E9ql3riypeubFp-tIU9hKVhbERom1OL4UZMppJ58y7J-zwbMNuECQV3ngeCSbLh1MeqiE628R17qp9OiQFmNlRomuJNn3RQ==">Gif</span>t

this.<br />
<br />
<b> 7. Plan ahead.</b> Set aside specific days for
shopping, baking, visiting friends and other activities. Plan your menus and
then make your shopping list. That'll help prevent last-minute scrambling to buy
forgotten ingredients. And make sure to line up help for party prep and
cleanup.<br />
<br />
<b>8. Learn to say no.</b> Saying yes when you should
say no can leave you feeling resentful and overwhelmed. Friends and colleagues
will understand if you can't participate in every project or activity. If it's
not possible to say no when your boss asks you to work overtime, try to remove
something else from your agenda to make up for the lost
time.</div>

<b>Give of Yourself.</b> Sometimes your time and attention is the best
possible gift. During this time it's easy to be distracted and ignore others.
Set aside time for each of your kids, your spouse, your dearest friend,
etc. <span style="background-color: white; color: #6e6e70; font-family: Calibri, ' Helvetica', ' Arial', ' sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">Donating

time for yourself. Spending just 15 minutes alone, without distractions, may
refresh you enough to handle everything you need to do. Find something that
reduces stress by clearing your mind, slowing your breathing and restoring inner
calm.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">
<b>12</b><span style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">. <b>Let It

times we ignore them because YOU have to do everything -OR- "they just wont do
it the right way". Create a list of the important tasks that only you can truly
handle and delegate the remaining to others. Remember, no one is perfect...and
stressing yourself out will only show this. People want to help this time of
year, often they feel uncomfortable if they cant (especially if their guests).
So help these folks out, stress less and learn to let go!</span></div>

Don't
let the holidays become something you dread. Instead, take steps to prevent the
stress and depression that can descend during the holidays. Learn to recognize
your holiday triggers, such as financial pressures or personal demands, so you
can combat them before they lead to a meltdown. With a little planning and some
positive thinking, you can find peace and joy during the holidays.</div>

<br />
When most of us think of parasites hideous images come to mind, such as ten foot tape worms being coaxed out of human hosts-or starving children in third world countries with swollen bellies. But, not all parasites are giant worms, many are microscopic, single-celled organisms. Furthermore, parasites aren't limited to people living in third-world countries. Many people in North American also have problems with parasites and don't realize it.<br />
<br />
People can pick up parasites from food, water or pets, or through the skin or mucus membranes. Fortunately, where clean food and water are the norm, odds are very small that people will have a serious parasite problem. However, as more and more food is coming out of third-world countries, parasite problems are on the rise.<br />
<br />
Furthermore, if you have pets or animals with parasites, there is a high probability that you have them, too. It's also easy to pick up parasites while traveling in foreign countries. So, if you've experienced a change in your health after traveling, parasites may be the reason.<br />
<br />
<b>Diagnosing Parasite Problems</b><br />
<br />
Once parasites are in the body, they can be very hard to diagnose. A stool analysis mayor may not reveal their presence because a particular sample may not contain them. In fact, parasite problems are often so evasive to standard medical investigation that no one can accurately estimate how much of the population may be afflicted.<br />
<br />
Fortunately, they leave telltale signs, including chronic fatigue, anemia, an illness that won't go away, nervousness, teeth grinding, diarrhea, ulcers or digestive pain, nausea or diarrhea, extremes of appetite, weight loss or gain, itching (especially in the rectal area), aches and pains that move from place to place, chronic foul breath, furred tongue, liver jaundice, wide mood swings, fever, colitis, insomnia, and lowered immune response. Just because you have these symptoms doesn't mean that you have parasites, but if you do have a lot of these symptoms and other therapies you've tried aren't working, a parasite cleanse may be useful.<br />
<br />
In the pages that follow we'll discuss a few of the major parasites people can be affected by and some of the herbs and nutrients one can use to get rid of them. The good thing about herbal remedies for parasites is that they have low toxicity, which means that if you do a parasite cleanse and you don't have parasites, it isn't going to hurt you. So, if you suspect that parasites may be a problem, try doing a parasite cleanse and see if your health improves. If it doesn't, you've ruled out parasites as a possible cause of your health problems.<br />
<br />
<b>Know Your Enemy</b><br />
<br />
There are many types of parasites that can use your body as a host. Besides various worms (like tapeworms and ringworms), there are microscopic, single-celled organisms like giardia, H pylori, candida and amoebas which can all be considered parasites. In fact, there are over 1,000 organisms that are known to playa parasitic role in human beings.<br />
<br />
If we count these single-celled organisms as being parasitic in humans, between 70-90% of us have at least one form of parasite. These parasites mayor may not adversely affect our health, because in some cases we may have a symbiotic relationship with them. Others, however, are downright detrimental to human health, and some of the more common ones in this category include the following.<br />
<br />
<b>Nematodes (worms)</b><br />
<br />
Nematodes are tiny worms such a pinworms (Enterobius uermicularis), whipworms (Trichuris trichiura) and hookworms (Ancylostoma duodenale and Necator americanus). The most prevalent of these are pin-worms, which are common in school children. They are highly contagious and easily passed around the family.<br />
<br />
Pin-worm eggs can contaminate clothing, bed linens and toilet scats. When the eggs are ingested, the worms hatch in the intestines and their eggs are passed from the rectum. Pin-worms can also infect the vulva, uterus and fallopian tubes in women.<br />
Fortunately, pin-worms are one of the easier parasites to detect because they cause rectal itching. If one examines the rectal area at night with a flashlight, the worms appear as white threads at the anal opening. Other symptoms include: nervousness, inability to concentrate, lack of appetite and unusual dark circles around the eyes.<br />
Take precautions to prevent pin-worms from spreading by washing bed linens, bed clothes and underwear of the entire family, having the infected child take daily morning showers to remove eggs deposited in the rectal region during the night, disinfecting toilet seats, bathtubs, sinks and door handles daily, and being sure everybody washes their hands (and fingernails) before meals. Clean cat litter boxes daily. Also, avoid a diet high in sugar and other junk food, which gives parasites more to feed on.<br />
<br />
Whip-worms and hookworms are less common, but pose a more serious threat to human health. Whip-worms inject a fluid which, liquefies colon tissue so the worms can ingest it. This creates severe nutritional deficiencies and infections.<br />
<br />
Hookworms bite and suck on the intestinal wall, causing bleeding and destroying tissue. This can be severe enough to cause<br />
death. Since they consume iron, they cause severe anemia, which can help in detecting them.<br />
<br />
Natural therapies for nematodes include garlic enemas or suppositories, Para-Cleanse, Artemesia Combination, High Potency Protease and Herbal Pumpkin.<br />
<br />
<b>Tapeworms</b><br />
<br />
Other parasites may actually be more dangerous to one's health, but tapeworms (Taenia saginata-beef tapeworm and T.<br />
solium-pork tapeworm) are emotionally disturbing because of their size. Tapeworms require an intermediate host, so they are usually ingested by eating improperly cooked beef, pork or fish. Tapeworms are composed of 3,000 to 4,000 segments per worm. New segments are formed near the head, and the ones on the end are cast off with egg packets. When passed, these segments look like grains of uncooked rice or cucumber seeds. This is one of the ways they can be diagnosed. Other symptoms of tapeworms include diarrhea or constipation-or alternating diarrhea and constipation. Some people lose weight with tapeworms, but it is more common for the host to be overweight and retaining water. Tapeworms raise blood sugar levels, cause anemia and interfere with vitamin B12 uptake.<br />
Natural therapies for tapeworms include Para-Cleanse, Herbal Pumpkin, Artemesia Combination and High Potency Protease. Fasting on raw pineapple has helped in destroying them. Raw fig juice and pumpkin seeds have also proven helpful.<br />
<br />
<b>Giardia lamblia</b><br />
<br />
This single celled organism is the most common cause of waterborne disease in the United States. It is picked up by drinking or swallowing contaminated water. Because giardia forms cysts that are not destroyed by chlorination, they must be filtered from water.<br />
<br />
Symptoms of giardia include diarrhea, gas, upset stomach or stomach cramps, nausea and/or greasy stools that tend to float. Symptoms usually appear 7-14 days after exposure. Goldenseal and Activated Charcoal are helpful natural remedies for giardia.<br />
<br />
<b>Yeast and Fungus</b><br />
<br />
Various strains of yeast and fungus (such as Candidaalbicans) can be considered parasites because they weaken intestinal membranes and make them more permeable. They also weaken the immune system. Yeast overgrowth is very common after a person has had several rounds of antibiotics. It can also occur from chemotherapy and other drugs, which damage friendly bacteria in the intestines. Candida Clear, Yeast/Fungal Detox, Caprylimune, High Potency Garlic and pau d'arco are good remedies for fungal infections. Probiotics, such as Probiotic Eleven or Bifidophilus Flora Force help prevent both yeast and bacterial infections.<br />
<br />
<b>Bacteria</b><br />
<br />
We don't usually think of bacteria as parasites, but strains such as H pylori can function as parasites because they are involved in the development of ulcers. The balance of bacteria in the intestines also plays a role in keeping the gut from being susceptible to invasion from other parasites. Probiotics help keep harmful bacteria in check in the intestines and High Potency Garlic, GastroHealth and Goldenseal/Echinacea are good remedies for getting rid of harmful bacteria in the intestinal tract.<br />
<br />
<b>Evict Those Unwanted Dinner Guests</b><br />
<br />
If you or your doctor determines that you have parasites, you should waste no time in evicting them. Even if you haven't been diagnosed with parasites, it may be helpful to do a periodic parasite cleanse-especially if you have pets or animals, recently traveled to a foreign country, or have a chronic illness that seems to linger no matter what you do. Here are some options.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Para-Cleanse is a convenient and effective parasite cleansing program. It contains Herbal Pumpkin Combination, Paw Paw Cell-Reg, Black Walnut ATC Concentrate and Artemesia Combination. Para-Cleanse can help to remove worms, yeast, bacteria and other parasites from the intestinal tract.<br />
Para-Cleanse is a 10-day program. To use it, take the contents of one packet (6 capsules) 15 minutes before breakfast and 15 minutes before dinner daily for 10 days. Drink one glass (8 ounces) of water with each pack.<br />
<b>After consuming one box of Para-Cleanse, wait seven days, then do a second round of the program.</b><br />
<br />
The idea behind this is that the first cleanse removes the parasites and the break in-between allows any eggs to hatch so that the second cleanse removes any newly-hatched parasites. Cleansing for longer than this is not recommended and it is a good idea to follow up with a round of probiotics after the cleanse to help repopulate the friendly intestinal flora. Para-Cleanse is not recommended for children under the age of 12 or for pregnant women or nursing mothers.<br />
<br />
You can also use the individual components of Para-Cleanse for specific parasite problems. Several of these remedies can be taken over longer periods of time and are safe for pregnant women, nursing mothers and younger children.<br />
<br />
<b>Herbal Pumpkin</b><br />
<br />
This traditional parasite cleansing formula utilizes two gentle antiparasitic remedies: pumpkin seeds and black walnut. This formula helps get rid of worms and has a soothing effect on the digestive tract. It can also be helpful for prostate problems. It is safe for children, pets, pregnant women and nursing mothers. The normal dosage is 2 capsules one to three times per day.<br />
<br />
<b>Artemesia Combination</b><br />
<br />
This is a more potent antiparasitic formula because it contains wormwood and mugwort. These powerful antiparasitic herbs are not recommended for children, pregnant women or nursing mothers. Arternesia Combination also contains elecampane, clove buds, garlic, ginger, turmeric root and olive leaf. It can be helpful for nematodes, yeast and bacteria and even for tapeworms when taken in higher doses. The normal dosage is also 2 capsules three times per day. For tapeworms you may have to double the dose.<br />
<br />
<b>Yeast/Fungal Detox</b><br />
<br />
This blend is targeted at yeast, but it also helps knock down infectious bacteria and has a mild antiparasitic effect. It makes the intestinal environment less friendly for other parasites. The ingredients are caprylic acid, sodium propionate, sorbic acid, Echinacea purpurea root, oregano, garlic, pau d' arco, selenium and zinc. Many of these ingredients also build general immunity.<br />
<br />
<b>Paw Paw Cell-Reg</b><br />
<br />
This is a standardized extract of acetogenins from the American paw paw tree. Acetogenins are very effective antiparasitic remedies because they destroy the ability of bacteria, viruses, yeast and other organisms to reproduce. They do this by depriving them of the energy they require for replication. The inclusion of Paw Paw Cell-Reg in the Para-Cleanse program is what makes it one of the strongest natural antiparasitic programs in the marketplace. Paw Paw Cell-Reg is also used for cancer. It should be used with with professional supervision with pregnant women, nursing mothers or children under the age of 12.<br />
<br />
<b>Black Walnut</b><br />
<br />
Black Walnut is frequently used for parasites, as it is believed to help kill their eggs. Its high iodine content may be part of the reason it is effective against a variety of microbes and parasites. It is one of the best antiparasitic remedies for children and is available in liquid form. Black Walnut is also a good remedy for parasites in pets. It can be safely taken for long periods of time.<br />
<br />
Other Anti-Parasitic Remedies<br />
<br />
In addition to the Para-Cleanse and its ingredients, here are some other useful antiparasitic remedies.<br />
<br />
<b>Gastro Health</b><br />
<br />
This blend contains pau d' arco, cloves, elecampane and licorice, which were tested and proven effective against H pylori bacteria believed to be responsible for ulcers. Gastro Health not only helps ulcerations to heal, it also helps to rid the GI tract of other parasites and bacteria. It encourages the growth of friendly bacteria, which help protect against parasites, too.<br />
<br />
<b>Candida Clear</b><br />
<br />
Like the Para-Cleanse, Candida Clear is a pre-packaged program that helps to rid the body of yeast and fungal parasites. It can also be helpful for bacteria and other invaders as well. It contains pau d' arco, Caprylic Acid Combination, Yeast Fungal Detox and special enzymes which are taken between meals. These enzymes are very helpful in getting rid of other parasites besides yeast.<br />
<br />
<b>Single Herbs</b><br />
<br />
In addition to black walnut, two orher herbs are very helpful for evicting parasites. Goldenseal is recognized in the Materia Medica of many countries as an effective remedy for giardia. The required dose is high-lO grams per day (about 20 capsules) for ten days.<br />
<br />
Activated Charcoal can also be helpful for dealing with diarrhea. Raw garlic is a potent antiparasitic agent and also works on intestinal fungal and bacterial infections. It is used for worms (pinworms, roundworms, hookworms, and tapeworms), giardia, amoebic dysentery and yeast. A garlic enema is an effective way to get rid of worms. High Potency Garlic can also be used as a suppository.<br />
<br />
Other antiparasitic herbs include cloves, pumpkin seeds, watermelon seeds and horsetail. Raw almonds (with skins), raw carrots, raw onions, raw papaya, figs, cucumbers and lemon water are other helpful remedies for parasites, especially in children.<br />
<br />
<b>Additional Tips</b><br />
<br />
During any parasite cleansing program, it is helpful to avoid simple sugars, alcohol and caffeine. Enzymes such as High Potency Protease and an herbal laxative like LBS II may also prove helpful in flushing out parasites. Always drink plenty of water, too. Since family members unwittingly share parasites with each other, best results are obtained when all family members do a parasite cleanse at the same time. If you have pets, it may be a good idea for you to do a parasite cleanse for both your pets and your family once or twice a year.<br />

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Is your Liver Working
Properly?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Did you know that without
water your liver can not flush toxins out of the body?</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We are 70% water and most people do not consume the correct
amount of water on a daily basis.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
recommended amount is half your body weight, in other words a 180 lbs person
should drink 90 <i><span style="font-style: normal; mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">ounce</span></i>s
of water every day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Your liver “bags up” environmental toxins, like bagging up
the trash, in a two-phase system of enzymes:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Phase One: consists of 50 enzymes that oxidize or reduce
toxins.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That is, these enzymes either
add electrons or remove electrons from toxins to give them an electrical
charge.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Phase Two: consists of six different enzymes pathways that
conjugate toxins to various organic compounds.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>That simply means that these enzymes attach or join (conjugate) the
electrically-charged toxin which another compound.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This makes the toxin water soluble so it can
be flushed from the body via the kidneys or the colon. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is why a good supply of water is helpful
to the liver.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Foods to Enhance
Liver Detoxification</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In order to do this job properly these enzymes systems
require a wide variety of nutrients, including vitamins, minerals, amino acids
and fatty acids.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So, if you’re feeding
your warrior liver a diet of refined and processed foods, don’t be surprised if
it wimps out on you when you need protection from chemical toxins.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It’s also important that your liver gets adequate amount of
antioxidants.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is important because
the detoxification process produces free radicals that can damage the liver if
there aren’t enough antioxidants to protect it while doing its job.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Sour foods are said to tonify the liver. Such as,
unsweetened lemon water, black cherry juice, wolfberry and mangosteen.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Thai Go contains many sour fruits that can
tonify your liver and provide the antioxidants it requires.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Dark, green leafy vegetables and onions, garlic and
cruciferous vegetables are also great liver foods.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Constipation and your
liver</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Believed to affect 25 percent of the population at any given
time, constipation is different for each individual.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It has to do with the hardness of the stool
(bowel movement) rather than how often one is passed. In a healthy individual
one or more movement per day is desirable. The quicker toxins are eliminated
from our body the less time they have to either ferment or cause other
problems.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
Mostly constipation is due to poor dietary habits, or by not going to the
toilet when nature calls! This results in the bowel reabsorbing water and
therefore making the stool hard.<br />
<br />
Over a period of time, a layer of toxic waste products may build up on the
lining of the sluggish bowel. This build-up can cause inflammation in the
bowel, and the toxins are absorbed from the bowel and travel back to the liver
via the portal vein. The liver has to work much harder to break down these
internally produced toxins and symptoms of liver dysfunction may result. Thus
constipation can lead to headaches, abdominal bloating, fatigue, allergies and
skin problems.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is called <i>autointoxication
</i>or “<span class="ssens">a state of being poisoned by toxic substances
produced within the body”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I like to
call it “Living in your own toxic soup”!</span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Colon</b><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"> Hydrotherapy and the Liver</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
You can’t clean your liver unless first you clean your colon.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Pathways must be open to dump the toxic
sludge removed from the liver.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you
are planning to do a liver flush it is absolutely essential to make sure that
one does colon hydrotherapy before and after each liver flush. It is extremely
important to remove any stones that remain in the colon because once these
stones disintegrate or decompose; a lot of toxins are released from these
stones and also by the decomposing bacteria.<br />
<br />
Not only will colon hydrotherapy open the pathways to allow the waste to be
removed but it hydrates the body as well as allowing the colon wall to heal
from years of abuse.<br />
<br />
<i>Combining Colon Hydrotherapy, adequate intake of pure clean water and diet
changes can and has make dramatic changes toward having a Happy Healthy Liver.</i><br />
