Aloe To The Rescue

Sometime in May 2014, my son had an accident with a metal chair.  

 Apparently, a fellow classmate placed the chair over a doorway and it fell and hit him on his head as he was passing through. 

To cut a long story short – when he got home and told me that the school nurse had cleaned it for him and stopped the bleeding, I immediately thought of my trusted aloe. 

I cut a piece of aloe, removed the clear gel and cut a piece just wide enough to cover the cut area. He spent the rest of the evening with this on his head. The only time it was removed was to replace the dried out section with a fresh piece. It only took about a week and a half for the cut to heal properly so that he could get a haircut! 

Before it was normally a headache to get him to use the aloe on his face but after witnessing its performance on his head, I can hardly keep up with him now. Every day he wants to put aloe on this, aloe on that! Talk about aloe mania!

I've been teaching him how to cut the aloe and remove the gel. Now he's adding it to his juices.

Dear old aloe vera, just cannot do without it.  Thanks Nature!

Bulimia & Anorexia Nervosa

I bumped into a friend the other day and she told me how she went on a diet and fitness programme and lost weight. She said that she was extremely fearful of putting the weight back on so she was avoiding snacks and sweets, among a long list of other things. 

To cut a long story short, this is not someone I normally spend a lot of time with so a few years later when I saw her again, I was a bit shocked! She looked so skinny and sickly that I hardly recognized her. I wondered if she had a problem…..

Bulimia nervosa and anorexia nervosa as I understand it are eating disorders.

Bulimia nervosa is when someone consumes a lot of food like a starving person, and then finds a way to remove it from their body before it can be processed.

Anorexia nervosa – it seems that these persons have a different view of their appearance. Even when they are seriously underweight, they still believe that they need to lose weight. They eat tiny amounts of food and basically starve their bodies because they are afraid of gaining weight.

This to me is saying that they don’t like the body they have and they don’t care about living. Because how can the body survive if it never gets a chance to extract all the nutrients it needs from the food? How can the body survive without sufficient food?

I love food and I absolutely detest throwing up or otherwise. Now I am nowhere near slim but I don’t think I could love myself if I did not have a little meat on my bones. I know that I could lose about 25-lbs but I have decided to just eat healthy. More fruits and vegetables and less carbohydrates, basically a little of everything and try my best to stick to my daily exercises.  

We are all born unique; some of us are slim and wish we could put on weight while some of us are constantly dieting and making ourselves ill in the process.

I feel for anyone who is bulimic or anorexic and I hope that in time they can find courage; courage to love life and love themselves for who they really are and remember that their true friends are the ones who will accept them for who they are.  

If you or anyone you know is suffering with bulimia and/or anorexia nervosa, please get some help or help them to get help. You can never change until you see yourself as you really are.

Candida Yeast Infection And The Metal Toxicity Connection

The intense existence of harmful chemicals and toxic metals in our environment, in the medicines that we take, in the food that we eat and even in our dental fillings, creates a huge challenge for our body to effectively rid itself from these toxins resulting in a vicious cycle that manifests itself in a variety of symptoms and health problems, among them is candida albicans overgrowth that causes the symptoms of yeast infection to appear.

Chemical and toxic metal build up inside the body can also lead to hormonal imbalance, genetic alterations, immune system failure, poor elimination, slower healing process, skin problems, allergies and nerve and brain damage.

The presence of heavy metals in the body (led, silver, mercury) coming from food, the air that we breath, medicines and dental fillings (contain 50% amalgam), create an acidic and anaerobic (lacks oxygen) environment I that encourages candida yeast overgrowth.

When there is toxic metal overload in the intestine, the intestinal lining produces extra mucus to block metals from being absorbed into the blood stream. The problem is that this mucus creates an environment, which lacks oxygen, thus encourages bacteria and fungi like organisms such as candida yeast to grow out of control.

Moreover, candida binds to heavy metals (even in your amalgam fillings) and overgrows as the body performs a desperate attempt to protect itself against heavy metal poisoning.

A deep metal detoxification combined with the gradual removal of amalgam dental filling and replacing them with safer white fillings is one of the most important and fundamentals steps in battling candida yeast infection and restoring the body back into balance.

Yeast Infection Knowledge - The Truth Behind Your Yeast Infection

Educating yourself about your candida infection is the first and most important step in curing this painful, annoying and relatively dangerous chronic condition and taking responsibility over your health and well-being.

Although yeast infection (known by the names of Candida, Monilia or Thrush) is in fact a very common condition, (as three out of four women develop it at some point in their lifetimes), it is little discussed. Most people regard candida infection as a ‘on the surface’ problem that should be treated with creams and antibiotics whereas few are aware of its potentially risky complications.

Yeast Infection is first and foremost an internal problem. Like most chronic conditions, there is never one cause for this fungal problem and thus yeast infection cannot be permanently eliminated using medications or creams that work superficially and fail to tackle the root factors that trigger the formation of candida infection in the first place.

The problem is that the majority of yeast infection sufferers choose to leave it in the hands of others: Doctors, pharmacists, drug and over the counter industries. They willingly choose NOT to take responsibility for their candida condition, for their health and for their own body.

If you suffer from yeast infection then you must have experienced the confusion stemmed from conflicting advice and from information overload. Honest information about vaginal yeast infection or any other type of candida infection is harder to come by than ever before, and nearly everyone has been misled at one time or another. I know I have. I wasted literally thousands of dollars on candida treatment programs that didn’t “work out” and anti-yeast infection products that didn’t do anything.

Furthermore, to successfully navigate through today’s jungle of misleading, dishonest and conflicting information, you're going to have to become a very shrewd and discriminating consumer.

There are in fact, alternative, cheap, safe, natural and holistic health practices and methods necessary to permanently eliminate the symptoms of this disease and cure the root internal cause of yeast infection regardless of its type, location, or level of severity.

To effectively overcome candida infection, you need to be aware of the real cause of yeast infection and be able to identify its symptoms. You need to know how to self-test and diagnose your candida condition, learn about the dietary principals needed to maintain a candida free environment and about the complimentary treatments that will help you battle against the negative effects and complications of your yeast infection.

By educating yourself about the steps you need to take in order to deal with your candida infection condition and help your body heal itself and control the fungal overgrowth from the inside out you can and will eliminate the pain, annoyance, humiliation and frustration associated with this condition and feel more in control. Additionally, as a side benefits you’ll feel more energized, healthier and vibrant. You will enjoy improved digestion, enhanced vision, and healthier hair, skin and nails.

Knowledge is power. Embrace it. Share it and apply it and you will be yeast infection free.

Controlling Intestinal Gas Naturally

Intestinal gas, flatulence, farting or breaking wind is a natural part of the digestive process. This odorless gas, although at times embarrassing, is the result of good digestion. Every day our body produces one to three pints of gas that is ultimately passed. Intestinal gas is made up of oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen, carbon dioxide and methane. If we notice an unpleasant smell, it is because the gas contains other compounds, including hydrogen sulfide and ammonia.

Bacterium that lives in our intestinal tract is what produces most intestinal gas. It digests the food we eat; primarily sugars, starches and cellulose. When ingested sugars are not been properly broken down, they can ferment and produce gas as they pass through the small intestine. Contractions of the small intestine propel this gas through the large intestine, where it is expelled out the rectum. This prevents gas from accumulating in the body, which can cause cramping.

Certain foods produce more gas then others. Some healthy foods such as fruits, vegetables, oatmeal, beans and peas often are the worst offenders. These foods are high in soluble fiber. Fiber slows the digestion of starches in the small intestine, thus promoting increased gas. Fiber, however, has many benefits including promoting a healthy digestive tract, regulating our blood sugar and maintaining normal cholesterol levels.

Normally we pass gas about fourteen times a day. Intestinal gas is only considered excessive if it is being passed over twenty times per day. If someone complains of excessive gas, but isn't passing it over twenty times a day, then something else may be going on. Perhaps the real concern is the foul odor to their gas, an inability to hold gas back, or even a problem with soiling their undergarments when gas is being passed. Thankfully there are a number of natural, alternative health remedies we can try which may help to reduce or eliminate the embarrassment of intestinal gas from our lives.

Recommendations For Wellness

• Avoid foods such as beans, broccoli, cabbage, asparagus, coffee, eggs, fish, prunes, radishes, dates, figs - or artificial sweeteners like sorbitol - which can promote gas production.
• Limit high fat foods. Fats slow the digestion of foods through the stomach and small intestine.
• Avoid milk and milk products, especially if you suspect you are lactose intolerant.
• Try taking a digestive enzyme or digestive bitter tonic before meals to help improve carbohydrate digestion.
• Activated charcoal tablets, when taken before a meal, have been shown to greatly reduce gas formation.
• Ginger, either fresh or in tablet form, is useful in relieving flatulence.
• Catnip and fennel are herbs that are often used to ease bloating and reduce intestinal gas.
• Nature's Sunshine's Anti-Gas Formula contains a blend of herbs that assist the body's efforts to expel gas.
• Supplementation with probiotics such as a cidophilus and b ifidophilus supports healthy bacteria in the digestive tract and keeps gas-producing bacteria in check.
