Health Alternatives and natural self healing

ADHD natural remedies are gaining in popularity.? Why? Adults and children who take psychostimulants such as Ritalin and Adderall for ADHD experience mixed results and troubling side effects. As a result, there is an ongoing search for techniques or treatments that are effective, safe and life-changing. It is well documented that people who take prescription drugs for ADHD see some improvement but many experience ongoing side effects such as abdominal pain, insomnia, weight loss, headaches and depression. In addition, the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) issued warnings about additional side effects, including psychiatric problems and stunted growth. Given these concerns and the fact that popular ADHD drugs do not address the root cause of the problem, it is important to consider natural ways to treat ADHD. A natural holistic approach is focused on identifying the cause of the problem and then combining nutritional and behavorial therapies to improve the behavior. Pharmaceutical me...

What is endometriosis? The endometrium is a special type of tissue that usually lines the inner walls of a woman’s uterus. Sometimes endometrium migrates and becomes implanted in other areas within the pelvis. In women with endometriosis there may be endometrial tissue on the fallopian tubes, the ovaries or anywhere else on the lining of the pelvis- these are all places endometrial tissue is not meant to be. During a woman’s normal menstrual cycle the endometrium within the uterus becomes thickened and prepared for the possibility of conception and pregnancy. This occurs under the influence of hormones in the blood stream. If conception does not occur, the hormone levels decrease and the endometrium comes away from the wall of the uterus and is shed through the vagina – what we know as menstruation or our monthly period. In women with endometriosis the same process occurs but the extra endometrial tissue in various sites around the pelvis reacts in the same way to hormonal changes in ...

I have talked to many people over the years about how they feel about aging and related issues. Every single person eventually came to a similar conclusion. They didn’t mind getting older, so much, they just didn’t want to look and feel old! Psychic healing techniques have made some wonderful strides in the last ten years or so, particularly in the area of aging, and while I cannot offer anyone immortality yet, these techniques can help almost everyone look and feel younger. Receiving healing treatments from a professional can be of great benefit to you in your anti-aging efforts, but a consistent personal practice is needed too. As with most forms of healing, the real changes have to come from within the individual. If you...

The disease is a systemic disease that causes inflammation, which targets the synovial joint liners. This is where back pain starts. Rheumatoid arthritis may link to genetic transmissions or autoimmune illnesses according to etiology aspects. Physically speaking Rheumatoid arthritis inflames the synovial membranes, which often affects the pannus. This action causes destruction in the ligaments, bones, and the cartilages. Once the pannus is hit, fibrotic tissues start to replace the pannus. Calcification also replaces the pannus, which results in joint subluxation conditions. Calcification is abnormal hardening, which causes swelling and joint stiffness. Symptoms: Once potentia...

By Erin Legg Beverage World Magazine recently unveiled its 2010 beverage awards, and topping the list of Best Functional Beverage was Bean and Body’s Coffee Energy: Bean of Renewal . This gold winning beverage is described as “coffee re-imagined for health conscious consumers.” But Bean and Body is more than just a beverage company: they’re about promoting health and consciousness, environmental sustainability, and social programs. The idea behind Bean and Body is truly what led the company to have a gold winning beverage. The company took note in the common present day focus on fission, or the division of things in order to create energy. This idea did not seem sustainable for the company for the long run, so Bean and Body decided to focus on fusion, or the union of different elements in order to create energy. The elements they unite? Coffee and health. There are other ingredients to their success—awareness, sustainability, and nourishment to name a few—but what started it all was t...

If you suffer from PMS and have actually discussed the condition with your doctor, the odds are good that you were urged to increase your intake of certain dietary supplements, such as magnesium, calcium, vitamins E and D, and maybe even some evening primrose oil.

This most likely leaves you wondering what to do when dietary supplements for PMS do not work. Fortunately, there are still plenty of answers. * It is clinically proven that PMS is caused by hormonal changes and imbalances which occur during the time in the menstrual cycle immediately preceding menstruation....

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is designed to regulate the medications and food products in America. By testing and regulating these consumable goods, the FDA controls which products enter the marketplace and which pharmaceuticals doctors can prescribe for patients. Originally designed to help protect the health of the consumer base, the FDA has become a larger entity in a federal government heavily influenced by large, wealthy corporations who constantly lobby government officials to protect their interests. Since the FDA regulates pharmaceuticals, one of the most profitable products in America, drug companies have spent millions of dollars to push their products into the marketplace. Since the FDA can only regulate drugs and cures that originate from controlled areas (and not nature), they have passed into law a statement that only drugs and surgery can prevent and cure disease. As stated in the book Natural Cures by Kevin Trudeau, by attempting to control the consumption ...

Let's face it, alternative health care supplements are a growing trend and rightly so when you think of the options: chemically laden drugs that have many side effects. If you select carefully, there are some incredible natural ingredients that can really boost your health and help you stay healthy for the long term too. The best type of health care in my opinion is preventative, going back to the ways of Chinese medicine to find natural cures. It is said that taking a daily supplement can be one of the most important changes anyone could make to their diets. Using alternative health care supplements to avoid many of today's common diseases makes total sense, but finding the right one amongst the thousands out there can prove to be a considerable challenge. When you consider that a normal course of antibiotics will reduce your immune system functioning for up to six months, you can see just how strong and bad for the body many of today's medicines are. A good supplement ...

Consulting experts such as doctors is very costly and not all can afford the fees required. Doctors are just human beings capable of accidentally committing mistakes. However, they are the most expert and intellectual when it comes to health issues but there are still mysteries in the world of health that even doctors with the highest degree of intelligence cannot explain.

A lot of people are a bit iffy about alternative health care, but what they do not know is that it is quite effective. Some doctors even recommend it. Also known as holistic medicine or naturopathy, alternative health care has been used since ancient times. Methods like acupuncture or the inserting of needles in pressure points have been used by the Chinese for centuries and it has still been being practiced up to today. It has even helped Paula Abdul when she broke her leg or ankle. What holistic medicine aims for is not just treating the physical ailment alone but the individual as a whole. This means including the patient's emotional, spiritual and mental well being. It focuses on the cause of the symptoms rather than providing quick fixes or temporary reliefs for the symptoms. Holistic doctors see these symptoms as proof of imbalance in the system and aims to correct that. Holistic doctors also believe that the body has the ability to heal itself.

Pain management medicine in the conventional health-care system has been verified by stringent scientific study, experimentation through which it has been proven.
