Home Remedies for common health issues

Bad Breath No other natural remedy freshens bad breath as well as parsley, says David Orlarsh, N.D., a naturopath in Plymouth, N.H. This herbal food garnish is rich in chlorophyll, a green plant compound that kills the bacteria that cause bad odor. Nibble on a sprig after eating raw onions or garlic or whenever your breath smells sour. 2 Blemishes To clear zits quickly, keep a small sealed jar of this natural topical remedy on hand (it keeps for a few months): Combine 2 tablespoons of green clay, 1 tablespoon of goldenseal powder (Hydratis canadensis), 2 to 3 drops of tea tree oil (Melaleuca alternifolia), and enough water to form a paste. Apply the paste to your blemish at bedtime and leave it on all […] Read More

Do Soy Foods Negatively Affect Your Thyroid?

A Look at the Downsides of Soy by Mary Shomon It seems that there’s isn’t a newspaper, magazine or news program that hasn’t recently featured a story on the amazing health benefits of soy food products and soy/isoflavone supplements. Soy is promoted as a healthy alternative to estrogen replacement for some women, as a possibly way to reduce the risk of breast cancer, as a way to minimize menopause symptoms, and as a healthier, low-fat protein alternative for meats and poultry. But what all the positive stories fail to mention is that there is a very real — but very overlooked — downside to the heavy or long-term use of soy products. Soy products increase the risk of thyroid disease. And this danger is particularly […] Read More

Excitotoxins and You

by Reenie L. Mahon After reading a book entitled Excitotoxins the Taste that Kills, by Dr. Russell L. Blaylock, I was immediately off to my kitchen to check labels to be sure there were no “excitotoxic entrees” destined for my family’s consumption. My reading made me aware of the widespread use of these dangerous food additives, however, I was not prepared for the large bag of items to be culled from my cabinet. Practically every package of soup broth, sauce mix, snack crackers, and chips, some soy products, bread crumbs, tuna and even the fresh bakery bread contained one or more of these powerful brain toxins. That experience prompted me to write this article for the busy, health conscious consumers who may not have this […] Read More

Herbs & Cancer

There are probably more varieties of cytotoxic herbs than thare are chemotherapeutic drugs. Research has already been accomplished spanning 5,000 years and 2,500,000 (2.5 million) herbs. Of all these, at least 3,000 possess some type of anti-cancer properties. The U.S. Dept. of Agriculture uses this same figure. The way each herb interacts with Arthitis, Cancer, Cholesterol, Diabetes, Heart Disease, or any other conditin is different with each plant. Also it is very important that the condition of the individuals body be analyzed as this may have some impact on the dosage recommended. Finding the particular combinatin that works best for a particular person is NOT really a matter of trial and error. For example: 1 teaspoon of EZ-AK tea may be sufficient for one person […] Read More

History of Herbal Treatment for Cancer

External Treatment for Cancer The external treatment of cancer with escharotic salves actually seeks out and destroys cancer cells. Escharotic pastes and salves are caustic compounds that are applied externally on the skin. These are directly applied over the affected area and will erode the tissue to eventually destroy and remove the underlying tumor. The direct application of herbs and herbal juices to tumors has been practiced in many different traditions and cultures far back into antiquity. It is known that the Native Americans commonly applied poultices of roasted onions and bloodroot as well as other substances, which eroded the skin to draw out cancers, tumors and other undesirable materials. Straight garlic poultice will also cause blistering and open the skin but, like onions, it […] Read More

BIOLOGICAL DENTISTRY

The following was originally published in: Health & Happines: A Newsletter for Better Living Volume 4: No. 2 By Gerald H. Smith, D.D.S. – Langhorne, Pennsylvania, USA A new era in dentistry is rapidly emerging as a result of the process of intelligent evolution. The transition between the purely mechanical phase (drill and fill) to the highly evolved biologic phase of dentistry has occurred slowly (over the past 150 plus years). As dentistry moves into the 21st century, it is providing a coupling of high tech materials, integration of techniques, and diagnostics with scientifically based research.   Dentistry logo (Photo credit: Wikipedia) Biologic dentists are focusing on biocompatible materials and their influence on the immune system, nutritional support for maintaining oral health, focal oral infections […] Read More

1998: AMERICA! OVERDOSED ON FLUORIDE

by Lynn Landes, ZeroWasteAmerica.com (215) 493-1070 and MariaBechis, updated July 1998 The widespread and uncontrolled use of fluoride in our water, food, juices, beverages, and dental products is causing widespread overexposure to fluoride in the U.S. For three consecutive years, The Journal of the American Dental Association (see JADA’s Dec. 1995, July1996, July 1997) has published studies reporting on pervasive overexposure to fluoride due to “the widespread use of fluoridated water, fluoride dentifrice, dietary fluoride supplements and other forms of fluoride…{There is} an increased prevalence of dental fluorosis, ranging from about 15% to 65% in fluoridated areas and 5% to 40% in non-fluoridated areas in NorthAmerica.” In February of 1997, The Academy of General Dentistry (AGD) warned parents to limit their children’s intake of juices […] Read More

Yoga on the Go: Moon Salutation

  There is definitely a specific pleasure in taking a public yoga class: listening to the wisdom of the teacher, exploring new postures, and simply being in the studio space with the instant community created. You just can’t replace that experience. However, there are times in life when you need yoga and a drop-in class is not a possibility—situations where just a little bit of movement can make a really big difference, and you may not even have a yoga mat at your disposal. Perhaps you crave a break during a long-distance cycling trip, or need to get out of your head and step away from your desk on a busy workday, or maybe you were too busy to get to class and want to […] Read More
