Candida Vaginitis is a typical problem caused by Candidiasis, which is characterized by inflammation of the female genitalia. Candidiasis is a fungal infection caused by Candida albicans, a parasitic fungus that can infect the mouth, skin, intestines or the vagina. The fungus is normally present in each one of us in its yeast form and its growth is controlled by friendly bacterium like acidophilus, commonly found in yoghurt cultures. An imbalance in the intestinal flora where good bacteria are killed due to excessive use of antibiotics, unhealthy lifestyles and a weak immune system usually cause growth of yeast and it transformation into its fungal avatar. If not checked in time, Candidiasis can manifest in nearl...

If you have ever looked into alternative health medicine in the past, you are probably well aware that it is becoming quite popular. Although alternative medicine is probably never going to overtake standard medicine, the number of people using this method is on the rise. As you can imagine, more and more people are looking into alternative health medicine for a reason. For people who have tried standard medicine, with no success, alternative medicine is the next thing in line for them to try. So what is alternative medicine? Generally speaking, this is anything that is not a standard medical practice. For instance, oncologists have a standard procedure that they follow when treating cancer patients. Of course, they may deviate from this a bit, but all in all they have a standard protocol that they follow through with. If you are not interested in trying these standard practices, alternative medicine is the next best thing for you. Believe it or not, there are many people who will o...

The University of Maryland School of Medicine conducted more than one research study lead by Dr. Michael Miller on the merits of laughter for stimulating healthy heart function. In one study the group of researchers examined the body’s endothelium, or the lining of blood vessels. They documented how laughter caused the endothelium to generate an increase in blood flow which helps to stimulate improved heart health. Another of Dr. Miller’s studies also concluded laughter could help prevent heart disease. In fact, they found people who had heart disease had more serious temperaments and were less likely to laugh compared to those of same age who were free from heart disease. It is becoming more apparent everyday that daily stress leads to disease so it makes sense that laughter would simulate health. If you find you are having a serious day, or need to improve your laugh-ability you will find some help below. Learning to Laugh If you find you are in a bad mood, stop and think who your me...

I love pomegranates and eat them every winter; in fact, when other fruits disappear until the following summer, I know pomegranates will be there to satisfy that craving for something other than oranges, apples, and bananas. Punicalagins are found in pomegranates and are a tannic acid. Tannic acid is found in tea where everyone expects it to be, however, it is also found in many other foods and is good for many things. Punicalagins are hydrolysable tannins, which simply means that they react with water to form other compounds. They are large poly phenol compounds and have high bio availability. They are known to hydrolyze into smaller poly phenols such as ellagic acid in vivo, once they are inside you they do this, where they can then hydrolyze across the mitochondrial membrane of a human colon cell. Very impressive stuff, because both of these poly phenols have properties in human health that are truly beneficial. Phenols are the backbone, so to speak, of most of the antioxidants foun...

My brother and I grew up with two body building, life guarding parents, raised on health foods and we were shown the power of diet and supplements on humans and pets. The beginning of Femlogic, Inc. started when a friend gave me a tiny jar of incredibly expensive skin cream made by a major manufacturer. I was amazed at the price tag and decided to research the ingredient list to see what all these unrecognizable chemicals were. Then came the shock as I discovered a list of toxins, skin irritants, cancer causing substances and such that made up the ingredient list! Until this point in time, I was under the misnomer as so very many others, that the price tag of a product and fancy packaging had a direct impact on quality and product effectiveness. More research led me to believe that I could in fact do better with my knowledge of herbs, rain-forest elements, and vitamins and minerals. This realization launched Femlogic and the Essential Potions brand. Creating Alternatives – Essential Po...

Dr. Leia’s answer: Anemia or a low red blood cell count during pregnancy is common and can be caused by several factors. Vegetarians and dieters are especially at risk. Lack of iron, folic acid, and Vitamin B12 in the diet can cause anemia. Your doctor should monitor you for iron stores in the body by way of a ferritin blood test, serum iron level, and hemoglobin and hematocrit blood tests, and also check your folic acid levels and vitamin B12 levels. It is not wise to stop eating meat when you have a low iron count. Meat actually contains more iron than grains, although grain contains iron also. Meat is also needed by the body to produce vitamin B12, which can also be monitored by a blood test and can cause a form of anemia. Vegetarians do not produce vitamin B12 and should always supplement with B12 in order to prevent this deficiency. Pregnancy is not a time to diet or to limit the intake of food because the need for iron and other nutrients is increased at this time. Sometimes stom...

There are tens of thousands of people who are affected by asthma in their lives. Because of the large number of people who are affected there are also a large number of that are urban legends. Is it fact or is fiction? You may be surprised by the answers. Myth about asthma number one: Asthma is all in your head. FALSE!

Congestive heart failure is a chronic medical condition that affects the strength of the heart muscle and the ability of the muscle to pump oxygenated blood around the body. In the past 40 years the number of individuals who suffer from congestive heart failure has grown significantly and today nearly 5 million Americans suffer from this condition. Because of advancements in technology and medical research new treatment methodologies have enabled patients to increase their life expectancy and decrease the number of side effects they suffer. Among those treatment methodologies are alternatives to traditional medicine therapy which are gaining popularity, though with holistic medicine practitioners and some traditional Western medicine physicians. Congestive heart failure is the end product of a number of cardiovascular diseases that decrease the ability of the heart to pump efficiently.

The picture shows wild Agave growing in Mexico. The Agave plant that is grown for harvesting resembles a cactus or yucca with its spiky, succulent leaves. In the midst of all of the leaves sits the core known as the pina. A full grown “pina” contains the sap of the plant, and typically weighs over fifty pounds. Harvesters remove the Agave sap from the plant in order to produce the popular sweetening agent. The native people of the central Mexican region traditionally used the Agave plant for a number of different purposes including food, skin salves, and even the liquor known as tequila. The Agave’s extraction process closely resembles that of the maple tree for syrup. In fact, the Agave nectar’s nutritional properties, texture, and even taste closely coincide with those of pure maple syrup. The extracted raw Agave juice embarks upon a filtration process undertaken at a very low heat which keeps its beneficial properties alive. Throughout the procedure, the carbohydrates naturally occu...
