Should You Ignore Symptoms?
2008-04-12 00:45:00
The body has one method of telling us that something is wrong ? it creates symptoms. In many cases, we take medicines that stop our bodies from giving us the message that something is wrong, or cleaning out the offending virus or toxin. A runny nose, itching skin, sensitivity, weak nails can all signal toxins and a digestive symptom breakdown that can lead to disease. Weight gain, acne and thinning hair, which are all common symptoms of Glucose allergies. Women may suffer from lack of libido, a deep voice, low mood - Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome PCOS which can be controlled by reducing Glucose in our food. Chewing ice, or a craving for ice, may signal the need for calcium. Binging may signal the onset of Type 2 Diabetes. The point is, you should pay attention to things that change in your body and health. They could be symptoms that something is wrong with your system. Pay attention. Don?t listen to people who say ?don?t worry.? Instead, research the symptoms and try to find what...

Death Starts In The Colon - Don't Buy a Product
2008-04-10 23:37:00
Below is an excerpt from Tissue Cleansing Through Bowel Management, 1980, by Dr. Bernard Jensen, DC, ND, Ph.D."The heavy mucus coating in the colon thickens and becomes a host of putrefaction. The blood capillaries to the colon begin to pick up the toxins, poisons and noxious debris as it seeps through the bowel wall. All tissues and organs of the body are now taking on toxic substances. Here is the beginning of true auto-intoxication on a physiological level. This accumulation can have the consistency of truck tire rubber. It's that hard and black." A healthy colon is a healthy individual, according to the Royal Society of Medicine in the U.K.. They believe that 90% of all chronic diseases are caused by infections of the gastrointestinal tract.Over 100 million Americans have a digestive disorder1 in 17 will develop colorectal cancer1 in 6 individuals carries a parasite (Chicago Tribune)5 - 10 pounds of fecal matter may be stored in the colonI know this is a rather disgusting topic...

Top Detox Foods: Greens Can Save Your Life
2008-04-10 23:28:00
Green Leafy Vegetables The healing ingredient is chlorophyll. This is nature?s household cleaner, removing environmental toxins that include heavy metals, pesticides, and air pollutants. It also protects the liver.There are commercial chlorophyll products that you can buy, but I wouldn?t unless you like the taste of liquid grass. The problem arises when you can?t get fresh picked. It may be a better idea to buy top quality ?flash frozen? than week old greens that have been stuffed into a transport truck for several days and ?sprayed? to keep them looking fresh.Head Lettuce has the least value of the green vegetables. The general rule is ?the darker the better.? But it is reported to help against yeast infections.Spinach strengthens weak blood and reduces the severity of bleeding conditions. It includes a blood cleansing or detoxifying agent. It helps with constipation and urinary tract difficulties. Do not eat large amounts of spinach if you suffer from loose stools or urinary incon...

Its high level of vitamin C, labeled the detox vitamin, helps make toxins water-soluble so they flushed away easily. Humans are the only mammals that do not produce vitamin C in the liver. During Detox or colon cleansing the body needs higher levels of vitamin C than normal.Getting high concentrates of vitamin C from lemons is difficult as the vitamin levels decrease with storage.However, do not drink the processed lemon in bottles.The following is a list of fruits and their vitamin C levels per100 mg fleshJujube 500Apple 6Barbados Cherry 1,678Blackcurrant 155+Blueberry 1 ? 16%Grapefruit 34Kiwi 99 ? 180Lemon Juice 46Logan 84Mango 28Cantaloupe 42Orange 53Papaya 62Plum 10Raspberry 25Red currant 58Rosehip 1000+Tangerine 31Tomato 19Watermelon 1099 Foods With the Highest Vitamin C LevelsThe health guides state tha...

I Found QRay on YouTube

I am often looking for alternative healing and symptom reducing items that can make life better for my husband. He has arthritis and is in pain. I liked the QRay youtube video. It doesn't promise to feel better as much as it says the bracellet can help anyone feel better. This is one of the things people overlook.Anything like mineral and ionization should be sold as a balance for everyone, not just healing. The medical industry should stop focusing on healing problems but keeping people from being sick in the first place.We've proven that metals and minerals can make us sick. We should also understand that metals and minerals can heal.Life Just Keep Getting Better And Better

Dangerous Relationships
2008-04-09 10:36:00
Most of us whove survived a first marriage become familiar with the term sooner or later. Some of us make sure we don't repeat the pattern. Others leave one bad relationship and land in another.The problem stems from society's believe that people should get together because of passion and lust, not friendship and trust. This makes women vulnerable to predators. Our upbringing make us more suseptable.Remember the 'love at first sight?' A classic 'red flag' for a codependent preditor.Remember the romance stories where a couple's eyes meet across a room? Or, worse yet, the man who showed no affection but the woman fawned over him because he was 'so' strong and dominant.More on codependencyWomen become trapped because the man really does love them, in a perverted way. In truth, he needs them to fulfill his abusive/controlling ideals of a relationship. The woman sees this as love. This traps her. She sees her strong man as having a weakness that he can't control. He appears to ...

You Are What You Think
2008-04-09 10:36:00
Life can become hectic. Most of us can control the voices in our heads. We can control the thoughts. If we think something that is unreasonable, we don't react with emotions, we just dismiss the idea.People with emotional and mood disorders did not learn this skill. Something in their past sent the wrong messages. Their warped reality and cognitive skills, or lack of them, prevented them from learning to function as a part of society. It is easy to tell if you have a problem: 1. Do you treat your family the same way you treat your boss?2. Do you act the same way at church as you do at home?3. Would you treat your boss, a stranger, someone at the golf course the way you treat your spouse and children?4. Do you act differently in your home than you act in public?5. Do you feel like a bad person6. Do you feel like you don't ever need a self help program - you have 'all' the answers. You only need to say yes to three of these.There are some ways to start healing:1. Any statement th...

Can You Control Your Mood?
2008-04-09 10:08:00
The word emotion is the a combination of feeling and motion...actions taken based on a feeling. For many people their 'feelings' and 'emotions' ruin their lives. They feel bad so they abuse, argue, don't show affection, put others down, don't work hard at their job, withdraw from the world and leave others to carry their burden, or cause damage to themselves and others.Most of us can recognize an abusive person. Everyone but the abusive person sees their behavior as wrong. The abusive person feels like they are fully justified because they were driven by 'emotions.' Few of us recognize the passive version. The person who feels bad so they guilt others into doing things for them. These people may shop until their family is in debt. OR, guilt others into buying things to make them feel better. These people can even do worse, invite an alcoholic out to dinner and then drink in front of them - offering them some, or take an overweight person to a restaurant and manipulate them ...

Safe Fun For Children Online
2008-04-09 06:43:00
I like to blog about things for children to do. Most young parents don't have time to go looking for fun things for their children. One great virtual world for kids is DizzywoodEverything is geared toward children between eight and twelve in this 'safe' activity-oriented world. There is a chat area that is moderated. This is not another learning site trying to pose as a fun site. Think 'social networking' for children. They can create their own avatar, and play Internet based games without their parents worrying aobut what they are doing or who is online with them. This site caught my attention when I read their parent's guide and found out they have both 'filters' and live monitors protecting the children. The site also asks for MY email address, not one of my childrens. If you are looking for something safe and fun to let your grandchildren know about, or to set up for those babysitting days, then check out Dizzywood.Life Just Keep Getting Better And Better

Managing Panic Attacks
2008-04-07 21:12:00
The Art of RelaxationThere are may ways to help your body control a panic attack. Learning to meditate, TAI CHI, Yoga, muscle relaxation, breathing exercises and visualization techniques will all help. These all sound like things you can learn to do on your own, but they are not. They are all part of Operand Conditioning. This type of conditioning trains the body to act in a certain way when it receives certain signals. If the exercise is learned well enough, it may override the signals that are causing the panic attack and bring it under control. Relaxation techniques help lessen the duration and symptoms: headaches, anxiety, high blood pressure, trouble sleeping, hyperventilation, and clenching or grinding teeth. The techniques can also help the sufferer bring themselves back out of their 'dark place' and into reality. These steps can help you relax:Sit or lie in a comfortable positionClose Your eyesStart at your feet and relax all the muscles until the whole body feels heavy ...

Panic Attacks in Women

Women need to understand that panic disorder is a common condition. The person may feel uncomfortable, fear, anxiety. The attack may start unexpectedly.

What is Shift Work Disorder
2008-04-04 00:46:00
The graveyard shift has been associated with everything from depression to cancer. Shift work disorder, applies to people who suffer insomnia and sleepiness from working nights. It has been blamed for ulcers and heart disease. "It's not surprising," said Dr. Louis Ptacek, a UCSF neurologist studying sleep behaviors. "We evolved on a planet that is rotating every 24 hours. Our internal clock is more than just when we sleep and wake. It's related to cell division and it regulates our immune systems. When we battle our internal clock, that has complications." 15 million people, 15 percent Americans, work a night shift, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. Studies show that 10 - 20 percent of shift workers have trouble with insomnia and feeling sleepy on the job.People who are sleep-deprived can succumb to "microsleeps," where they fall asleep for a few seconds and don't realize it, said Dr. Clete Kushida, director of the Stanford University Center for Human Sleep Research."Pro...

Over Sleeping Can Cause Weight Gain
2008-04-03 23:46:00
A Canadian study, published today in the medical journal Sleep, tested 276 adults between 21 and 64 years of age. They tested short and long duration sleepers. They found that 35 per cent and 25 per cent are more likely to gain 5kg (11lb) compared with average duration sleepers who maintained 7 hours sleep. Short sleepers gained 1.98kg (4.3lb) while long sleepers gained 1.58kg (3.4lb). The risk of developing obesity increases more than 27 percent for over sleepers. Previous research suggested that sleep loss could disturb the production of hormones that control the desire for calorie rich foods. The level of ghrelin, the hormone released by the stomach to signal hunger, was 15 per cent higher in people who sleep five hours compared to those getting eight hours. Lack of sleep leads to tiredness during the day, which reduces the level of physical activity.The alarming statistics are for those who lack sleep. People who sleep five or fewer face a 70 per cent risk of dying from all c...

Why Health Food Stores Can Be Bad
2008-04-03 23:45:00
I went into a health food store a few years ago with the objective of testing the ?specially trained technitain.? I asked what medical ingredients were in willow bark. I was assured that their willow bard was 100% organic and there was no medical chemicals added.I took another step and asked if there were any medical ?properties? and was again assured that there are not. I finally asked why willow was good for my allergies. They assured me it was because natural things interact naturally with other natural things to help them work better ? I left feeling uneasy. The fact is that most of our medicines contain these ?natural? elements that are a part of our herbs and natural plants. Each of the properties that heal are ? indeed ? medical in definition. They are medicinal ingredients. When a health store misrepresents this, they down play the importance of making sure there is no reaction between the medical properties in natural products and the pills that you are currently taking....

Myth About Weight Loss
2008-04-02 03:42:00
I've been doing a lot of web surfing this spring. I am glad to see that bloggers are spreading the word. You don't need to kill yourself to get ready for spring. I've read many blogs that states you should just move - any way you can.One of the most over looked aspects of getting your body moving is water intake. As your body moves, it needs water. If you don't give it enough water, you'll suffer leg and arm cramps. You also want to cut back on the salt. Both of these will help your body grow accustomed to the extra movement after a winter of watching television or driving to work.You may feel groggy and slow. Your skin's glow is gone, and skin becomes itchy and sensitive. The soft creams and aromatherapy will wake the soul and lighten the skin. A body scrub and aromatic massage will open pours and help your body cleanse.Ingredients such as eucalyptus and lemongrass have an energizing effect on the skin.

Exercising for Spring
2008-04-02 03:33:00
A few easy to complete exercises can make the difference between a healthy happy spring and pain and strain. My father use to burn out every spring. He would get out, work all day, walk for miles, and within 2 weeks be back inside the house in front of the television. It is no wonder he is heading toward his second heart operation. Here are some good tips for getting your spring training off the ground.First, weights are important. The best 'step one' is to start with a couple of soup cans. Hold one in each hand and lift them gently. Don't worry too much about making it hurt. Instead, you want to gently get as many repetitions as possible. Second, you want to prevent raising weights above your shoulders. You want to work your arms and legs first - then your heart. Remember, this exercise is not designed to lose weight or build a tight stomach. Your goal should be to prepare your body to get outside and enjoy the spring work.Life Just Keep Getting Better And Better

Break Outside After a Long Winter
2008-04-02 03:16:00
I've been chatting lately on the steps needed to get outside. If you over do it, then you'll burn out and hurt yourself. I've been focusing on this a lot because I've already hurt myself. In fact - I even broke my nose because I was trying to work harder than my body would allow.Even if you have muscle, it is not toned. Your heart isn't toned. You can hurt muscles, put strain on internal organs, and take all the fun out of spring unless you prepare.Step 1Stretching is the first step. This is the time to start TAI CHI or Yoga. Stretch your body. Work slow, and keep moving until you feel your lungs start expanding. Step 2Start slow. The first steps should be visiting garden centers and taking a look at what is new for this year. Don't go out and rake the yard. In fact, maybe you should leave the hard work to a few teens who will gladly rake your yard for $20.00. Step 3Don't look at the work. Look at the final result. All the garden centers have catalogues.

Focus on Spring
2008-04-02 03:09:00
You need to treat spring as an event. The winter takes a serious tole on your emotions and your health. It is important to see spring as a chance to restore and rejuvenate. The weather is changing. Things are beginning to grow. It may not be time to step outside and do some growing, but that doesn't mean you cannot get started.Mistake #1Spring should not be seen as a chore. Do not make a to do list of all the chores that need to be done before you can enjoy the yard. Spring should not be seen as an expense. Most people spend most of their spring shopping for new tools and products. This takes all the fun out of it. Instead, go looking for a theme. Once you have colors and textures in mind. Think about planning the summer for a perfect picture that you can post on the wall. Then, go looking for products that will make it happen.Mistake #2The spring shouldn't be seen as fix-it time. Your body and your mind are not ready for this much work. You need to break into the outdoor life ...

Spring is coming. Along with it comes all those chores. Right now, I need to look for different cushions for my outdoor table and chairs. At one time it was easy. We just went to town and bought a new set.Now we have so many different chairs, benches, and lounges that finding a place to buy cushions that fit all is almost impossible. I haven't even tried to look locally this year. I've been looking online at sites like Outdoor Chair Cushions. The problem isn't so much finding something that fits all the furniture styles I have. I also want something that I can leave outside without worrying that it will become covered in mould, or start to smell. This means that I need a fabric that will breathe, and a stuffing that dries quickly.It all comes down to whether you want to be able to buy everything at one place, select the cushion styles you want, and then order them all in the same patter, or if you want to drive around and save money.

Answering these questions will tell you what type of work at home business you will succeed at, and whether you are predestined to run your own business, or work with an organization.

The ability to succeed is based in our ability to take an honest look at ourselves and prevent our weak personality traits from sabotaging our success. 1. I don?t read self help books, or I read self help books but they don?t help. If your marriage is on the rocks, then you try to fix what is wrong with your spouse.

Growing Older with Diabetes

Most people don't realize that diabetes becomes harder to manage as you grow older. Our bodies start to metabolise food differently, our needs for calories decreases, and our vitamin needs change.When it comes to managing diabetes, a small change makes a big difference.Currently the diabetic epidemic affects 2 million Canadians, and costs $13.2 billion a year. Earlier prevention, earlier diagnosis, and aggressive treatment of diabetes that controls blood glucose levels, blood pressure, and lipid (i.e. cholesterol) levels are proven to prevent the damage caused by diabetes.One of the problems is caused by binging at holidays.

Why do I promote the use of Cookies . First, a cookie can be made any size. The ones we make are about 4" across, and thick. This makes them a quick meal for me, and a filling snack for the teens.2 c. quick oats2 1/2 tsp. baking powder2/3 c. Dark corn syrup or sorghum molasses (not blackstrap molasses)2 c. flour1/4 tsp. salt2 egg whites or 1/2 c. Second Nature2 tsp. vanilla1 1/3 c. sugar2 c. raisins or dried fruitBake 350 degrees 8 to 12 minutes or until set. Cool. The secret to good cookies is NOT waiting until they look cooked, or the timer is up. Stay by the stove. As soon as they smell good...they are done. They may still be soft, don't worry, they will harden on the counter.It is important to use quick oats. While they have larger deposits of Nickle than normal oats, they soften faster and are more filling.

Make Your Own Wall Art
2008-03-27 03:29:00
A new trend in art started a decade ago. I was attracted to it because of the low cost. In the magazine world, a photo on canvas 36x48 would cost $800 - $1500. When you use a service for ?home art? you can buy the same picture for under $300.Instead of filling your house with someone else's example of artistic expression people are adding their art to their walls. One of the most striking 'art' forms I ever saw was a child's painting. The child painted a picture when they were five. There was so much joy and expression in the colors and brush strokes.Today's technology makes it easy to turn photos into art. Not just making the photo large enough to cover a full sized canvas. Creating canvas photos for the back of your couch can be as easy as choosing the size, choosing the art style from several styles, pop, graphic, Lichtenstein, che or illustration.I prefer graphic art.

Israel-based Rosetta Genomics (ROSG.O: Quote, Profile, Research) said its test, uses microRNAs, a genetic material that regulates genes that are involved in cancer.Most cancers are named for the place they first develop:breast, lung cancer, or colon cancer. Even if they cancers spread, they are still identified by their primary origin."But there is a group of patients who have tumors that appear in a metastatic site which, with the best imaging, you can't find a primary tumor," said Dr. Martin Raber of the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston."It either acquired the ability to metastasize so early in development that primary didn't develop. Or the primary never existed," added ...
