NATURAL REMEDIES

Many people feel strongly that the hormones and antibiotics given to cattle and chickens are passed down to the end user ... PEOPLE. That's why most of us are on medications in our later years because of what those horomones slowly deteriorated in our body. The human body is an incredibly complex system of systems all working in harmony. Pain is our warning system letting us know that something in our body is out of balance ... medications such as pain relievers don't correct the problem, they just bypass the warning system. Most of the time the body can heal itself but often takes a little longer. We are too spoiled to the "quick fix" of medications. But even the medications have unwanted effects on the human body. Have you noticed how long the list of disclaimers in commercials for many prescription medications are? Listen to them next time you see one on TV.

Vaccines and antibiotics are weakened LIVE bacteria that actually help our body heal itself by giving our white blood cells a wake up call. But most all other medications just make the symptom go away (by disconnecting the warning light)... and they don't actually correct the real problem.

Acid Indigestion occurs when the stomach has an overabundance of acid from foods mixing with the stomach acids our body naturally produces to digest our food. We all learned in 6th grade health that an acid and a base will neutralize one another. One of the most common household bases is found in almost every kitchen... Baking Soda. About a teaspoon of baking soda in a 6oz. glass of Water will usually remedy the indigestion in about 30 seconds. It will produce an air pocket inside the stomach but once it is released (a belch) the indigestion should be gone. If it persists, another dose may be necessary.

What is lactobacillus acidophilus? Lactobacillus acidophilus is a bacteria that exists naturally in the body, primarily in the intestines and the vagina. Lactobacillus acidophilus helps maintain an acidic environment in the body, which can prevent the growth of harmful bacteria. Lactobacillus acidophilus has been used to treat or prevent vaginal yeast infections, yeast infections of the mouth, diarrhea caused by taking antibiotics, and urinary tract infections. Lactobacillus acidophilus may work by helping the body maintain normal consistency of bacteria in the stomach, intestines, and vagina. (Read More...)

An alkaline diet for cancer involves eating a special diet high in alkaline foods and low in acidic foods. This is suggested by advocates as a method of preventing cancer, slowing the growth of tumors and aiding in cancer treatments. Advocates believe that eating certain foods will alter the pH balance of the body, thus making the environment less hospitable to tumors, but these beliefs are not endorsed by the medical community. Please check the video presentations on the Right for a better understanding of Alkaline foods in our diet.

An Alkaline Diet is a diet high in alkaline foods and low in acidic foods. It is important to try to eat ORGANIC fruit and vegetables whenever possible.
Alkaline foods include, squash, green and red leaf lettuce, tomatoes, celery, carrots, onions, chick peas, spinach, cucumber, basil, parsley, olive oil, lemons, limes and watermelons, among others.
Acidic foods include caffeine, tobacco, sugar, meat, pasta and white rice, just to name a few.

Proponents of an alkaline diet believe that altering the eating habits and eating a high alkaline, low acidity diet, can actually alter the pH balance of the body. They believe tumors grow more quickly in acidic environments, so they argue that if you create an alkaline environment, tumor growth will be slowed or stopped.

Doctors at Bringham and Women's Hospital, a teaching hospital affiliated with Harvard Medical School, dispute the claims made by advocates of an alkaline diet. Doctors suggest that the body has a number of mechanisms of regulating pH, including the pace of breathing and the ability to excrete high levels of alkaline. Thus, doctors believe that an alkaline diet can't significantly alter the pH balance of the body for any meaningful length of time.

Test tube studies have demonstrated a link between acidity and tumor growth. Tumors in test tubes grow more rapidly in acidic environment, and chemotherapy is more effective at killing tumors if the area around the tumor is more alkaline. However, doctors caution that this result will not necessarily translate to human beings, and that no human studies have demonstrated this connection. Furthermore, there is no evidence that an appropriately high level of alkaline pH could be achieved in the body as a result of the alkaline diet to have these effects, even if the link was proven in humans.

Alkaline diets exclude certain foods that have been proven to be helpful in aiding cancer treatments. For example, alkaline diets suggest refraining from dairy products, which are an important source of Vitamin D that has been shown to increase cancer survival rates. Protein is also important for chemotherapy patients, and many sources of protein are restricted on alkaline diets.

Yes, Fruit should be eaten on an empty stomach or as an Appetitizer, meaning BEFORE your meal. When you do this you allow the body to purify and expell the toxins which are causing your body harm. Eating fruit after your food causes it to be turned into more acid in the stomach.

While there are some Doctors who don't agree with it, there are Many who do. (Read More...)
