Gerd Natural Remedies

Do you struggle with Ulcerative Colitis? Crohn's Disease? Irritible Bowel Syndrome (IBS)? Organic Aloe Vera can works to restore your digestive health. Using only the highest quality Certified Organic Aloe Vera, you want to find a company that stabilizes and extracts the aloe mucilaginous polysaccharides, the healing molecules from the Aloe Vera plant, discarding the irritants, enzymes and mineral salts which can irritate the digestive tract. Aloe Elite is one such product - it contains only the powerful, soothing ingredient your body needs, in the strongest concentration available.

You might ask, is organic aloe vera really that much different than traditional? You want to find a product that is Medicinal Grade, preferably organic. It will not be cheap most likely, however, at what price do you pay for your health -- and better yet, how much do you pay for perscription drugs that only have a 30-40% efficacy rate at best! When I was going to school a 30% on a test was FAILING. So then you must ask the question, why are you paying for a product or medication made from synthetic chemicals that hasn't been proven to do much of anything?

Many studies suggest a link between disease and chemical toxins and pesticide loads -- especially in children's fragile systems. If you or a loved one is suffering from Acid Reflux, GERD, IBS or Chron's Disease symptoms, most likely you are also suffering from nutrient deficiencies like Calcium, Magnesium and Potassium. Long term effects can be catastrophic for both your esophagus as well as your digestive tract.

Hundreds of thousands of people have used the aloe mucilaginous polysaccharides with great success. A renowned natural healer, Aloe Vera has been utilized externally for thousands of years on burns, cuts and scrapes. Recently, researchers have found that the aloe mucilaginous polysaccharides can be stabilized and extracted from the raw plant, through a careful freeze-drying process, which discards the irritants, enzymes and mineral salts found in the raw Aloe Vera plant. Through this technique, the benefits extend far beyond its previous skin-healing properties. People with severe digestive disorders are relieving symptoms in a way they never believed possible - without drugs and their dangerous and painful side effects. The aloe mucilaginous polysaccharide molecules heal internally. This product is all natural, organic and even safe and effective for children.

Make Up Health

So after many months of researching make up and health, I was trying to evaluate what to replace my current make up with... my trusty advisor and green mentor said it best, "if you can't eat it, don't put it on your skin!" Words I am trying to live by. I dumped most everything from my bathroom make up cabinet and decided to start over. This isn't the best advice -- as I believe in order to make a lasting change, moving slowly is better than impulsively. However, in this case, after reading about how many unhealthy chemicals go into most make-up, I was enraged that manufacturers are even allowed to sell this and make a profit off of us. To me, it is no better than tobacco companies adding chemicals to cigarettes.

To that end, my parents always said, "when you know better, you do better" and that is what I hope to offer my readers... health and make-up should go hand in hand, just like eating organic when you can. Feed yourself and your body real food, free of chemicals and synthetic, processed additives. You will feel better, sleep better and eliminate the every day toxins much better as well.

Here is a list of what we call the "Dirty Dozen" -- a list of 12 hazardous chemicals that have been linked to many severe health ailments and diseases. These are in most commonly manufactured make ups including pharmacy and boutiques alike. Don't let the price tag fool you either -- these hazards can be found in everything from Cover Girl to Lancome.

(1) Antibacterials
(2) Hydroquinone
(3) Coal tar colors: FD&C Blue 1, Green 3
(4) Diethanolamine (DEA)
(5) Formaldehyde (diazolidinyl urea, imidazolidinyl urea and quaterniumcompounds)
(6) Fragrance (containing phthalates)
(7) Petroleum distillates -- anything that starts with Petrol
(8) Lead and mercury
(9) Nanoparticles
(10) 1,4-Dioxane
(11) Parabens (methyl-, propyl-, butyl-, ethyl-, isobutyl-)
(12) p-Phenylenediamine (PPD)


I does take a bit longer to read labels and figure out what is really bad for your skin, however your skin is the largest and most porous (has lots of holes) organ on the entire human body. Your 3 layers of skin interface with your surroundings -- and it plays the most important role in protecting (the body) against pathogens. Its other main functions are insulation and temperature regulation, sensation, and synthesis of vitamin D and the protection of vitamin B folates. If you use lotions and make up that infiltrate the body with chemicals, you are essentially breaking down its ability to keep you healthy and full of the nutrients you need to survive and stay optimally functioning.

Tomorrow I'll post a review of some good organic and natural or mineral based make up choices.

Antioxidant Vitamin Supplement and Free Radicals

Understanding Free Radicals & Antioxidants

Remember the days of chemistry and biology? You probably remember the topic of molecules. A molecule has a nucleus at the center and then a certain number of electrons that orbit around the nucleus. Normally, the molecules that make up your
body are balanced in that they have an even number of electrons. A free
radical is a molecule that has lost one of its electrons leaving it
with an odd number.

These unbalanced free radical molecules attempt to stabilize
themselves by "stealing" an electron from another healthy molecule.
When this process takes place, the cells that are involved can be injured. The cell at the molecular level may become dysfuctional causing disease or even become
malignant resulting in cancer. Research also suggests that free
radicals are one of the main causes of aging and wrinkles.

The body produces free radicals through normal metabolic pathways
such as extracting energy from the food we eat. Exposure to the
toxins in junk food or polluted air, for example, can also be
sources of free radical production. In short, we are exposed to
potential sources of free radical pollution every day of our lives.

Antioxidants are nutritional compounds in whole foods (and higher in raw whole foods) that have extra electrons. When an antioxidant comes in contact with a free
radical - the antioxidant "donates" an electron to the free
radical. This way, the free radical doesn't have to "steal" an
electron from another healthy molecule and avoid the damage normally
caused by the free radical. The antioxidant
nutrients themselves do not become free radicals when they "donate"
an electron because they are stable in either form.

The human body is capable of producing antioxidants naturally, but
under conditions of a poor diet, toxicity, physical stress or
emotional stress this antioxidant production can be severely
impaired. Do you know someone who eats a poor diet, has high
levels of toxicity and is stressed out much of the time? This is
why they may appear older than they actually are.

Eating a healthy whole food diet and drinking plenty of water are
two of the best ways to protect your body from the damage of free
radicals. Fruits and vegetables provide an excellent source of
natural antioxidants to help your body stabilize the free radicals
and ward off the damage that they cause.


So for starters, try to introduce at least 5 servings of fruit and 5 servings of
vegetables every day. If you are having a hard time fitting that in each day, Juice Plus is a convenient and inexpensive way to accomplish this:

Whole Grain Diet

Understanding Whole Grain Nutrition

Whole Grains are the seeds of plants that belong to the grass
family. This seed, also known as the kernel, is made up of three
key parts: the bran, the germ, and the endosperm.

A whole grain can be a single food, such as oatmeal, brown rice,
barley, or popcorn, or an ingredient in another food such as bread
or cereal. Whole grains include whole wheat, whole oats/oatmeal,
whole-grain corn, popcorn, brown rice, whole rye, whole-grain
barley, wild rice, buckwheat, bulgur (cracked wheat), millet,
quinoa, and sorghum. Other less common whole grains include
amaranth, emmer, farro, grano (lightly pearled wheat), spelt, and
wheat berries.

Recent research reported in the May 2007 issue of the online
journal Nutrition, Metabolism & Cardiovascular Diseases, shows that
Americans should eat more whole grains like oatmeal, barley and
brown rice to help lower their risk of clogged arteries, heart
attacks and strokes, according to researchers. The study's lead
author, Dr. Philip B Mellen, of Wake Forest University in
Winston-Salem, North Carolina commented: "Many consumers and health
professionals are not aware of the health benefits of whole
grains".

In a review of seven major studies, the researchers found that
higher whole grain intake was consistently linked to a lower risk
of heart disease and stroke. On average, adults who ate 2.5
servings of whole grains per day were nearly one-quarter less
likely to develop cardiovascular disease than their peers who
rarely consumed whole grains. Whole grains are believed to
benefit the heart in a number of ways. The fiber and other
nutrients in whole grains may help lower cholesterol, blood sugar
and insulin levels, as well as improve blood vessel functioning and
reduce inflammation in the circulatory system. Yet, surveys show
that few Americans get the recommended three servings of whole
grains per day, according to the authors of the new study. More
than 40 percent of U.S. adults say they eat no whole grains at all.

So I want all of you to eat more whole grains every day -- organic if you can afford it. Start slowly by adding a few more to your diet, and this way you will make a lasting change.

Most of us cannot fit that much food into our diet each day even if we sat and ate nutritious food all day. Whole food nutrition comes in a convenient capsule - Juice Plus. I recommend this to my clients as a way to get reach the 9-13 suggested daily servings.

Bumble Bee Sting-Treat Bee Stings

How to Treat Bee Stings - Natural Remedy




* Before sharing my story, if a person is known to be allergic to bee stings, seek medical help immediately. Also, if the sting site becomes infected or painful/worse over 24 hours, seek help from a medical professional.

A couple of weeks ago I was unfortunate enough to get stung by both a bee and hornet while working in the garden.

My arm swelled up so off to the doctor I went. The clinic gave me cream and an antihistamine. The next day the swelling was getting progressively worse
so off to my regular doctor I went. Infected arm - needed medication :( What was interesting is what the Dr. told me. The next time you get stung put a penny on the bite for 15 minutes. I thought, wow next time (if there ever is one) I will try it.


Well that night Shelley's niece got stung by two bees. When she came over to swim I looked at the bite and it had already started to swell. So off I went to get my money. Taped a penny to her arm for 15 minutes. The next morning, there was no sign of a bite. Wow were we surprised. Her niece, we decided, just wasn't allergic to the sting.

Well guess what happened again on Saturday night. I was helping my friend
deadhead her flowers and guess what? You are right I got stung again two times
by a hornet on my left hand. Was I ticked. I thought, here I go again having
to go to the doctor for yet another remedy. Well I promptly went into the house, again got my pennies, and taped two of them to my bites -- I then sat and sulked for 15 minutes. The penny took the sting out of the bite immediately. I still wasn't sure what was going to happen. The next morning I could only see the spot where he had stung me. No redness, no swelling.

Just wanted to share the marvelous information in case any of you are experiencing the same problem at home. The Dr. said some how the copper in the penny counteracts the bite.


After a bee or hornet sting, you should:
* Remove the stinger as soon as possible by scraping it horizontally. This can easily be done with a credit card. Do not pull it out with the fingers, as this will squeeze the venom out of the sac and into the body.
* Apply cool compresses on the sting.
* Tape copper penny to the sting site for 15 minutes.
* Use a paste of baking soda and water over the sting to help decrease itching.

So remember this little bit of bee sting natural first aid when you're cultivating your organic gardens and pass it on to your friends, children, grandchildren, and pets.
