Health Tips

A page of Health Tips & suggestions on using natural products, including healthy eating tips and natural weight loss tips.

1. When using natural remedies in large amounts, you can have elimination symptoms that make you feel something is wrong. This is normal - for example if you use our product "Super Viragon" to eliminate candida (yeast) the large amount of yeast organisms dying off can result in weak and nauseous feelings.

This is normal since the yeast is being eliminated from your body and when it is carried thru the bloodstream for elimination, you can have such symptoms.

2. One of the best oils for cooking is pure, virgin coconut oil (not the regular supermarket variety) usually available at health food markets. It is the only oil we know of that does not lose it's exceptional health properties with normal heating temperatures. ****This is also a great aid for weight loss. Most supermarket oils are very hard for the body to process (thus putting on weight) and also have chemical residue from processing, since they are processed with chemicals.

This is one of the most important health tips of all regarding the so called modern diet - all the indigestible junk oils that people consume without realizing what they are doing. Remember all the trans fat talk a while ago - well that's the category most cooking oils belong in!

Most supermarket oils have next to no nutritional value because they are processed at very high temperatures killing off any nutritional benefit.

3. Many allergies and sensitivities arise from the chemicals used to process our food and also the overprocessing of food. For example: Many people have milk allergies but if they tried raw cow's milk many of these people would not have a problem. Heating the milk for pasteurizing neutralizes many of the good ingredients making them hard for the body to process.

4. If you have a chronic problem with your mouth or throat, it is likely an indication that something is wrong in your digestive system - same with constipation or hemorrhoids, your digestion is faulty and it may be as simple as changing your diet, but if it has been a problem for quite a while, there may be more than just dietary changes needed. See a good, natural practitioner.

5. An excellent oil for helping to heal the digestive tract is raw, unprocessed sea-buckthorn oil. This oil is also good for healing canker sores very quickly.

6. An excellent remedy for healing sore/infected gums is oil of oregano, available at health food stores. Just put a drop or two on your tongue and swish around in your mouth. Caution: It tastes fairly strong, so you may want to dilute in water.

7. Yeast test: A very accurate way to test yourself for yeast is to put a glass (clear) of water on your nightstand and when you wake in the morning, before eating or drinking anything, work up a mouthful of saliva and spit into the glass. Let stand 15-20 minutes.

If there are strings hanging down like icicles from the water surface, you likely have a serious yeast problem. If the water is cloudy and there are particles floating throughout the water, or the saliva settles to the bottom, you likely have a yeast problem. Healthy saliva should float on top of the water!

8. Here's a great health tip for new mothers. Before baby is born, it has a sterile system and no bacteria are introduced until the baby is born. Mother's milk introduces ingredients to help develop the immune system and friendly bacteria into baby's digestive system. Without these ingredients, the baby's digestive system and immune system is compromised and this can set the stage for future problems such as infections, allergies, etc.

Many studies over the years have shown a connection between children who weren't breastfed and increased problems in childhood and on into adulthood. Children who were breastfed had notably fewer problems throughout their lives.

9. As people age, many are bothered by hair growing where it shouldn't. One of the causes of excess hair, for example old ladies with noticeable moustaches, is an indication that the digestive system is not functioning at a very high level of efficiency.

10. Did you know that E.Coli is normally found in the digestive tract of all animals and humans? The E.Coli that have been making people sick and even causing death in recent years are mutant E.coli and they are suspected to have developed thru constantly feeding antibiotics to animals in their feed.

11. For occasional stomach aches, apple cider vinegar (available from local health food stores) works well. Take a tablespoon or two with some water. Make sure to shake since the sediment in apple cider vinegar is an important part of its effectiveness.

Apple cider Vinegar can also help a lot in cases of food poisoning.

Also, the supermarket versions of Apple Cider Vinegar are usually too refined and are not as effective.

12. Many times chronic problems can be due to hormone imbalance. Usually thought of as a female issue, men can have many problems related to hormone balance also. A lot of hormonal problems are due to the overabundance of synthetic hormones in our environment - synthetic hormones used in the cattle and dairy industry for growth & production and also in the packaging industry in the form of plastic food wrap.

This is also the reason for many female type problems such as early menopause symptoms, menopause problems, PMS, low energy and sex drive in males and females, etc.

13. Many times digestive problems can be overcome by eating a healthier diet and for some sensitive people, food combining is necessary to eliminate indigestion symptoms. This includes gas, bloating, gerd, acid indigestion and colon problems.

The best way to bring digestion back to normal is to do a colon cleanse to allow good bacteria to proliferate and also to take a good probiotic to help reestablish the proper bacteria balance.

Just changing to a healthier diet may not do it 100%, since the digestive system needs a chance to heal to work at maximum efficiency and the digestive system cannot heal completely without the proper good/bad bacteria balance.

IMPORTANT NOTE: After 60 years of damaging millions of women, JAMA, the Official Journal of the American Medical Association, Recently Declared Hormone Replacement Therapy or HRT UNSAFE. Natural Progesterone reduces the symptoms and discomfort of Menopause, PMS and Pre-menopause without the terrible side effects often associated with synthetic hormone replacement therapy but the drug companies aren't interested in promoting progesterone because it is natural, therefore it can't be patented to make millions of dollars.

13. The liver is directly involved in hormone balance and poor liver function can result in male breasts - fatty deposits due to hormone imbalance and poor diet can make it worse. Doing a liver cleanse and taking bioidentical hormones can reverse this.
