I am very much a believer in natural health. I was just wondering if any of you feel the way I do.
It makes a lot of sense. God didn't provide fast food or caffeine for Adam and Eve, it was the fruits and vegetables! I believe that too. Eat healthy, exercise, drink lots of water, and stay away from all that stuff that we know is bad for us. Look at Jack Lelane. He is I think over 90 years old. He juices all the time. We need to think more about what we put in our bodies.
My husbands doctor said to stay away from canned foods. He says it causes cancer. I think fresh is the way to go.
~JJ~ You know someone that cured cancer naturally? Could you share your story?

i very much believe in healing the body as a whole and resolving a persons ailments from the source and not simply bandaiding the symptoms with prescription and over the counter medications ………… how fantastic that you are willing to take responsibility for your own health and nuture your body with natural remedies & whole clean foods ……. good luck on your journey of knowledge mate…. ;0)

More on The Best Hangover Cure to regain your health

INTRODUCTION

This article introduces deer velvet antler, its origins and use, but more importantly velvet's beneficial clinical effects. The report combines traditional knowledge with modern science and describes velvet's use in a way that today's consumers can make informed decisions on the benefits of velvet for them.

HISTORICAL

The Chinese has used velvet antler for over 2000 years for its powerful health promoting properties. The first documented evidence of the use of deer antler velvet in China, as a health tonic has been dated back 168BC. Traditional Asian usage has been for the promotion of well being and prevention of illness.

WHAT IS DEER VELVET ANTLER?

Velvet antler is the growing stage of the horns borne on the heads of male members of the deer family. They are called velvet antlers during the phase of rapid growth and development because of the velvet-like covering of skin.

Velvet antler is living tissue that grows at a very fast rate of up to 2cm/day in some species. This means that cartilage, bone, and support tissues such as nerves, blood vessels and hair follicles must grow at this phenomenal pace. Velvet antler is the only mammalian organ that regenerates like this. This may be the reason for its powerful health benefits.

A RENEWABLE RESOURCE

Deer velvet antler is unique in that it grows each spring is cast in the late winter and is replaced the following spring by the same natural process. So velvet antler is not only a product unique in the animal kingdom but it can be considered as a renewable resource.

VELVET IN THE NEW AGE

From the growing antlers of deer comes a natural product with the potency and flexibility to safely benefit a great many people throughout the world. Although velvet antler's extraordinary properties were originally recognised in Asia, particularly China, its relevance to the lifestyle needs of the 21st century are becoming apparent. These needs transcend the barriers that separate Eastern from Western medicine. Perhaps it is better to use the words `lifestyle choices' rather than `lifestyles needs'. `Choices' implies a level of individual responsibility to conduct life in a manner that is self-directed. Lifestyle choice carries the further meaning of expressing individual preference on how to maintain and advance quality of life. Velvet antler can impact at several levels of quality of life. Research evidence supports treatment, restorative and protective roles. In addition, consumption of velvet antler can not only provide an immediate benefit, but also amplify and enhance long-term benefits.

Velvet antler is the health-promoting tonic that is right for our times.

It is easy to become confused by the many purported – and substantiated – benefits of taking velvet antler. It seems too good to be true, in Westerners eyes that a single product could benefit in so many different ways. It may be useful to simplify the many benefits and state what velvet doesn't appear to do. We have no evidence of anti-bacterial, anti-viral or anti-fungal activities of velvet. Velvet cannot `cure' by destroying active pathogens.

The actions of velvet are consistent with:

• restoration of normal body processes,

• strengthening of the body, possibly leading to mental and physical performance increases, and

• protection of the body.

In Asia these functions are considered as `tonics', but tonic is not an easy word to define in English and hence may have limited value. The benefits of velvet do not overlap with Western medicine but in many respects can be thought of as complementary. A good example is the use of velvet antler extract to mitigate the damaging side effects of anti-cancer drugs, while at the same time helping their effectiveness.

Product safety is another key issue for our times. Velvet antler has been consumed for at least 2000 years and no general toxicity or negative side effects are known. The fact that velvet has been used safely by young and old male and female alike for some 2000 years is evidence that velvet is a relatively safe preparation.

This is important because people conscious of their quality of life need this information to weigh up costs and benefits.

Velvet antler is a win-win product; safe to take yet known to be effective. It is a product in transition from an Asian medicine enshrouded in mystery to a functional supplement of benefit to East and West alike. Exciting possibilities for this product can eagerly be awaited – the current applications are but a glimmer of the future of velvet antler.

TRADITIONAL USE

The benefits of velvet that we are rediscovering were well known to the Chinese. It is unlikely that in even earlier times the shaman cultures of North Asia were familiar with medicinal plants and animals. So although the concept of medicinal animals may seem odd, given that we accept medicinal plants, historically medicinal animals have held an important place. In Europe, for example, bee venom was used as a treatment for arthritis until relatively recently. The development of velvet antler as a traditional medium has been greatest in China and there are many references in Chinese literature to the benefits of velvet.

The functions of velvet antler are many but all fall into the major categories of:

• general body strengthening,

• healing,

• promoting blood cell growth

• improving the immune system, and

• Influences cardiovascular function.

Recent research in China, Russian and New Zealand and Canada has added to this list and has provided modern research support for the traditional knowledge.

Traditional Chinese Medicine, while having curative functions, focuses on promoting wellness as a medical goal in itself. In both Chinese and Korean medicine velvet antler can be regarded as an effective promoter of health. This may be because the substances that promote rapid growth and regeneration of velvet are responsible for the tonic actions. Western medicine lacks a formal understanding of a tonic, but it is important for a potential user of velvet antler to accept the context in which to seek the benefits of velvet. In keeping with Chinese and Korean use of velvet these are overall strengthening of the body, healing and improving tissue function. View velvet antler as a powerful restorer and strengthener not a curative in itself. The mechanisms for this true tonic activity are as yet only poorly understood. In the future this list of benefits may lengthen.

Are you unsatisfied with your quality of sleep? Do you feel tired and un-refreshed on waking in the morning? Do you stay that way throughout the day or lack energy and have difficulty concentrating?

The World Health Organization says that one-third of the world's population experience insomnia at some stage in their lives, with approximately five per cent needing medical treatment.

To avoid medical intervention, try these natural techniques and remedies, and help put your insomnia to rest.

- Relaxation

Relax before going to bed. Do some deep breathing, listen to soft music. According to Dr. Timothy Sharp from Sydney University, avoiding caffeine, alcohol and nicotine will also help.

- Bedtime routine

Develop a bedtime routine so your body knows it's time to go to sleep. By winding down your physical activities and following a set routine prior to bed, your body will start to associate some of these actions with going to sleep. Start with a cup of hot milk. Milk contains a protein called tryptophan, which helps to promote sleep. This can be substituted with chamomile tea, which is known to calm the nerves. Follow this with a hot bath or shower, the heat will help to lower your internal body temperature, again telling your body to go to sleep.

- For sleeping only

Make your bedroom your sleep-room. Turn the lights off as soon as you get into bed. Don't read, eat or watch television in your bedroom, or do any activity that is not sleep related. Make sure the room is dark and cozy; include extra pillows on the bed and even some teddy bears. Make your bedroom into a sleep sanctuary, a room that you will instantly feel secure and comfortable in, and best of all, a room that you will crave to sleep in.

- Clear your mind

Clear your mind of the day's activities or things that are due to be done tomorrow. Write a 'to do' list for the following day. Organize uniforms, lunches, etc … the night before. Make arrangements earlier than usual so you don't worry.

- Mind demons

Kill all the mind demons from yesteryear. Many of us have issues or events from the past that may still affect our daily lives. These issues can also mess up our sleeping patterns. Whatever these issues may be, now might be a good time to finally set things straight; forgive that person, give back that item, start talking to that family member again (or even make that appointment to see a psychologist if necessary).

- Give time back to yourself

Allow time to sleep. Instead of trying to cram as much as you can into the day then find you haven't left much time to sleep, try to find short cuts or solutions to give a little time back to yourself. Make a double casserole and freeze half for another night. Spot clean the house as you go. Have more barbecues, using paper plates (less washing-up). Offer to pay the kids, or the neighbour's kids, to do some extra chores.

- Check your diet

A balanced diet helps to make a balanced mind. If you're lacking in essential vitamins and minerals your body cannot operate at its best. Throw out the junk food and fizzy drinks, and make a new start to good physical and mental health. Add in some regular exercise and watch your body respond with some improved sleep.

- Get up

Don't lie in bed if you can't sleep. If you don't feel sleepy enough to drift off, your mind will probably anguish over the fact that you can't get to sleep. This will only make it harder to get to sleep each time you experience this. Get out of bed and go into a different room. Do something to distract yourself until you do start to feel sleepy and then try to sleep again later.

- Medications to watch

Medications may interfere with your sleep. It has been shown that some of the medications below may cause sleep problems. Check with your doctor if you are experiencing insomnia and are also taking any of these medications - amphetamines (diet pills), antidepressants, beta blockers (heart and blood pressure), cimetidine (ulcers), clonidine (blood pressure), cortisone, diuretics (fluid), levodopa (parkinsons), methyldopa (blood pressure) and ventolin (asthma).

Above all, de-stress. Sharp says that stress is the worst cause of insomnia. Use some of the techniques above and try to remove as much stress out of your life as possible, and finally put your insomnia to rest.

My 17 month old son has a bad case of eczema, we are currently using hydrocortozone cream along with other cream to help. They are helping a little, but when I look and see his poor body all red and dry it hurt me and I would like to do more to help. We saw the doctor and they said use the hydro- cream and cut out alot of bath. If you have any other suggestions or natural health cures for eczema please let me know. Thank you

Aww poor baby. Eczema sucks!

Try Aveeno's line, I believe they have baby products as well. It's more natural than other products, and it's very soothing and moisturizing. They make bath products, lotions, everything.

Did you ask the Dr. about foods he is eating? Certain foods flare up my Eczema. Oh, and if you live in a colder climate and the heat is on right now, get him a humidifier. The dry hot air makes me dry and itchy.

Good luck.. poor sweetie!

Imagine a cheap, natural compound that has the potential to make you feel better, improve concentration and is showing huge promise with a number of medical conditions including:

Depression, Alzheimer's & Parkinson's disease, Schizophrenia, Obesity, Depression and even some cancers.

The fact this natural compound is potentially so healthy may surprise you as it is:

Nicotine!

Nicotine has had a bad reputation simply because it is consumed is cigarette smoking, yet it is not nicotine that causes disease or death, it is some of the other 4,000 compounds in cigarette smoking that are the killers – NOT Nicotine.

Nicotine is safe and non toxic

Nicotine in its natural state is safe, non toxic and is actually part of the natural food chain.

In fact, it is present in numerous common foods we all eat everyday:

As confirmed in the New England Journal of Medicine,

"Nicotine is a naturally occurring compound. Trace elements are found in common foods and vegetables such as potatoes, tomatoes, bell peppers, cauliflower, eggplant, chili peppers, and some teas."

Nicotine's affect On Moods & Concentration

Nicotine has long been associated with better concentration and is also known to promote feelings of wellbeing.

According to Dr Dan McGhee, of the University of Chicago, nicotine is known to switch on receptors on the surface of cells in certain parts of the brain.

This causes these neurons to release the dopamine, a chemical that is associated with feelings of wellbeing and pleasure.

Smoking and medical conditions

This influence on our moods via it's affect on neurotransmitters in the brain, is leading to intense research in a number of diseases that require chemical balances within the brain to be kept in balance these include:

Depression, Alzheimer's & Parkinson's disease, Attention disorders and Schizophrenia.

By stimulating the release of specific neurotransmitters that include, Serotonin, Dopamine ( mentioned above) and Norepinephrine, Nicotine maybe able to correct imbalances in the brains functions, that make suffers of the above diseases feel better, as well as improving concentration and attention.

While much research is at an early stage, it is clear research so far does indicate that nicotine does have a positive affect on sufferers.

Research is on going and many pharmaceutical companies are looking at producing medication around Nicotine, with the express purpose of treating the above conditions.

Companies have already looked at water as a delivery method. Nicotine in simply water, with no added chemicals is already available and more products look set to come to the market in the near future.

Nicotine is it about to have an image change?

Nicotine health benefits have been under valued and this really is down to public perception of it being bad because it is associated with cigarette smoking.

That is like saying drinking wine can kill you so grapes must be bad!

Of course, we all know grapes do you good it's the delivery method that can kill you.

It's not nicotine that's bad for you its taking it with other harmful chemicals that is, 4,000 odd ones in smoking many of them poisons such as arsenic and carbon monoxide.

Take nicotine out of cigarettes however, and you have a safe, non toxic compound, that's simply part of the natural food chain. As we have seen above many of us take nicotine in everyday foods.

With on going research and as we learn more about the benefits of nicotine, expect this natural compound to get greater public acceptance for its health benefits rather than its connection with smoking.

Now days the teens are getting attracted to many beauty products to look themselves more beautiful and attractive. But they are unknown that these products are worth at the cancer risk. Many think that this cancer occurs only to the people of elderly age not to the teenagers. This skin cancer has become a serious problem as every year the number of cases is increasing and many people are getting diagnosed with this cancer.

Skin cancer can be cured when it is found in the early stage. But it should be treated by a physician and the precautions are to be followed for its cure. So we should be careful enough and take care of our skin than to suffer when it is attacked.

The skin cancer is classified into three types. They are:
basal cell carcinomas
squamous cell
malignant melanoma

The first two cancers are not at high risk and they can be treated at its initial stage as they are slow growing cancers. But the malignant melanoma cancer is the one which is dangerous as it grows faster and spreads very quickly.

The people who are at risk are the fair skin people, with light eyes, red hair, lots of moles or freckles. The people who have a family history of skin cancer and also who are more exposed to the ultra violent rays of the sun in younger age are at higher risk of skin cancer. The main cause for this cancer is the exposure of the skin more to the ultraviolet radiations. These ultra violet radiations which in short called as UV rays damage the DNA it also causes sunburn and sun tan on the skin. When this sunburn happens then the skin looks prematurely old and wrinkled. So, to protect from the UV rays of the sun you must cultivate the habit of wearing sunglasses, hats or clothing with the habit of having sunscreen lotion. This can control and safe treated by natural and herbal supplements

This skin cancer can cause to any one but the person who is above fifty with fair skin is more at the risk. It also can cause to the younger or the dark skinned people who are more exposed to the UV rays of the sun are at higher risk of getting this cancer. This cancer takes the form of a sore or pimple that does not heal. It is a cancer which is usually painless. The indications of this cancer are new growth on the skin, change in existing skin growth and a sore that does not heal. But the changes cannot be called as the symptom for skin cancer. So, we can have the self examine of this skin cancer, that is after a shower or bath to check the skin in front of a full length mirror in a well lighted room and see check the skin. Other than the birth marks, moles on our body we have to check that are there any other new marks on the body and is there any change in their growth, size, colour and also should observe whether it is itching, scaliness, bleeding, tenderness or pain.

This cancer survival rate is five years that is if the person is diagnosed for the first time after the survival of the skin cancer. It also depends on the factors that include the early diagnosing of the disease makes the cure of the skin cancer effectively treated. It is an urge need to know the signs and symptoms of the skin cancer as the factors of its occurring are more and this is more developing in the recent years.

People who are treated with skin cancer should have a regular follow up visits to check the tumor site and make sure that the cancer may not come back in the same place or its reoccurrence. If it is found then the additional treatment is needed. They should be regular medical checkups, examine their skin regularly and take the sun exposure precautions.

Preventing the skin cancer is preferable than treating it. So this treatment of the skin cancer depends on some of the reasons that are the thickness of the cancer, level of the cancer, your age and general health and other aspects. So it is an urge need that you must take care of your skin by preventing it from the UV rays and having frequent check to prevent it by using the medications which increases the sensitivity to sunlight and reduces the greater risk for sunburn.
