In a special supplement I emailed in October I listed a number of things you can do naturally to prevent the flu or even stop it once it's started.
Here's something else you can add to defend you. It's called Colostrum and it's a nutrient-rich substance secreted by mammals just after giving birth that gives your immune system a tremendous boost.
You can get bovine colostrum in a health food store; just take it as directed.
Nurses who had one drink a day had a 24% greater chance of getting breast cancer.
However, the nurses who also got 600 micrograms of folate per day cut their risk in half.
So if you're going to have a drink per day make sure you take a folate supplement.
There's a traditional African flu remedy that reduces the flu's impact.
It's called Jamaican Sorrel and is meant to be brewed as a tea. In studies with rats, it's also been shown to stop skin cancer, as well as, preventing healthy cells from becoming cancerous in the first place. Finally, it's even been found to lower blood pressure.
Tea, anyone? Just make sure it's Jamaican sorrel. You can call Vital Botanicals at 800 609-4326 to order some.
If you want to use a natural approach to skin care, here are a number of options for you.
1. Acne - use tea tree oil. Use a solution that is 15% or stronger. Do a patch test on your skin first to make sure you are not allergic.
2. Dermatitis - Use chamomile. You can get Camo-Care Soothing Cream from 800 783-2286.
3. Cold Sores - Use lemon balm. It may cut the life span of a cold sore in half. You can get Herpilyn from 800 783-2286.
4. Fungal Nail Infections - Use tea tree oil.
5. Athlete's Foot Use tea tree oil.
6. Dandruff - Use tea tree oil.
Chronic stress causes the body to create fat deposits around our stomach area. Scientists reported in Nature Medicine that mice that are experiencing stress activate a hormone, neuropeptide Y, which leads to fat accumulation.
This study sheds some light on why we may gain weight when we are under stress. Scientists are now beginning to study how to turn off this hormonal response. Stay tuned for more information.
Dr. Flint Beal from Cornell University reported on a sixteen-month trial that had patients taking 300 to 600 mg per day of CoQ10.
This resulted in a 25% decrease in the rate of disease progression while those patients given 1,200 mg per day experienced a 44% decrease.
Even the highest amounts were well tolerated, and studies are currently evaluating the effect of higher doses.
So... if someone you know has Parkinson, they can take at least 1,200 mg of CoQ10 every day.
Autism is reaching epidemic proportions in this country. In Australia there are some doctors that are exploring new treatments for autistic children. These doctors are approaching autism as a physical disorder rather than just a behavioral one. One researcher has found a high rate of intestinal disorders. Harvard University researchers studied 500 autistic children and found more than half had treatable gut and bowel disorders.
The doctors in Australia (and Britain) have been recommending the following approach: introduce the child to a dairy-free and gluten-free diet; test for other food allergies and eliminate offending foods, test for vitamin and mineral deficiencies and supplement as needed (this is usually zinc, calcium, magnesium, vitamin A, C and some B vitamins), test stools for parasitic organisms such as yeast and bacteria.
Dr. Anthony Underwood has actually found a few of his patients have recovered from autism. While most don't fully recover, he has seen improvements in most of the 80 autistic children he has worked with.
The beauty of this approach is that there is absolutely no damage done if this approach does not work.
