A DRUG is not always the FIX ALL

America has been a "drugged nation" for so long that the public thinks it is a natural thing to do. The effects of all the prescription drugs on the human body is like a double edge sword. Many people are over medicated, and even more people have died from the negative side effects of the prescription drugs.

At this point in time the WHO, has weighed in on the over use of antibiotics. It does not look good.
Here is some of the information from their meeting.

Again, it looks like we really need to boost our immune systems more now than ever.
There are way to many drugs on the market that have serious long term negative side effects. There has to be a better way for us to live and be healthy without assaulting our liver, kidneys, thyroid, intestines and body with drug after drug. We must be proactive about our health.

Common infections and minor scratches could soon kill because antibiotics are becoming useless against new superbugs, World Health Organization warns.

A child’s scratched knee from falling off their bike, common bladder infections among the elderly in care homes and routine surgery to replace broken hips could all become fatal as antibiotics are becoming increasingly useless, the World Health Organization has said.

The crisis is bigger and more urgent than the Aids epidemic of the 1980s, it was warned.

UK experts said the ‘era of safe medicine is coming to an end’ and government funds must be pumped into the production of new drugs.

In the foreword to the report Dr Keiji Fukuda, WHO’s Assistant Director-General for Health Security, wrote: “A post-antibiotic era — in which common infections and minor injuries can kill — far from being an apocalyptic fantasy, is instead a very real possibility for the 21st century.”

He said: “Unless we take significant actions to improve efforts to prevent infections and also change how we produce, prescribe and use antibiotics, the world will lose more and more of these global public health goods and the implications will be devastating.”

He said modern medicine, from the treatment of urinary tract infections and pneumonia in babies to chemotherapy and kidney dialysis are under threat.

 “What do we do when we have infections we cannot treat or when we lose the ability to protect people when having chemotherapy? I think there are very concrete implications, ” he said. 

Heart Disease Factor

As a Naturopathic doctor I caution my clients in regards to their nutrition. The foods you eat play a very important role in your health and healing process.

For years I have told my clients to reduce their red meat consumtion. It takes a lot of digestive energy to digest red meat. I was also concerned that those animals the meat came from had been exposed to unhealthy chemicals, hormone and living conditions.

Through the years I noticed that people who ate red meat daily seem to have more aches and pain of various kinds and locations. My suggestion to them was to limit the red meat to 6 oz. no more than twice weekly and to increase their veggie and water intake.Their aches and pains started to decreased within two weeks.

When this study came out I was not surprized. Your first step to better health is better nutrition.

A type of iron found only in red meat is associated with an increase in the risk of heart disease, a new review finds.

Researchers analyzed 21 studies that included more than 292,000 people who were followed for an average of 10 years. They found a link between consuming heme iron  which is only in red meat -- and a 57 percent increased risk of heart disease.

In contrast, consuming non-heme iron -- found in vegetables, other non-meat sources and iron supplements -- was not associated with the risk of heart disease, according to the researchers at the Indiana University School of Public Health at Bloomington.

"Heme iron is absorbed at a much greater rate in comparison to non-heme iron [37 percent vs. 5 percent]," the researchers said in a university news release. "Once absorbed, it may contribute as a catalyst in the oxidation of [bad cholesterol], causing tissue-damaging inflammation." This inflammation is a potential risk factor for heart disease.

The study was recently published online ahead of print in the Journal of Nutrition.

So, with this information in mind, think about what your put in your body, how much of it you put in your body, and why you are putting it in your body.

Irritated? Reach for a glass of water!

Happy Earth Day, everyone! It’s April, full of showers because the Earth’s living things need water and that includes you! Because schedules can be very hectic in the 21^st century, people forget to drink enough water.  You don’t want that to be the case as the days get warmer. Now, there is an argument out there about whether people are predominantly dehydrated or not. However, many nutritionists, dietitians, doctors and others feel that most Americans are, indeed, dehydrated and you need to be hydrated for your cells to work efficiently. Your body is mostly water which gets depleted when you sweat , breathe, urinate, defecate, enter a dry environment, get sick, are exposed to toxins and forget to hydrate --- all those things that happen all the time! Everyone now knows that more water is needed when urine is yellow; but, you might also just need to drink some water when you feel irritable, tired or foggy because just a little dehydration can cause these effects.  Ah, having water at business meetings may be more important than we previously knew!

Yes, your body can get water out of non-water drinks; but, that’s going to require more processing than if you just drank the water in its more readily available form.  If you’re on the go, stay away from plastic water bottles that are not BPA (bisphenol-a) FREE because research suggests that this chemical is linked to cancer, diabetes and birth defects (some canned food linings have also contained BPA).

How much water do you need? It varies from person to person and is also related to whether one has a health challenge, is pregnant, in a warm climate or in athletic training. However, here are quick ways to get a baseline estimate of how many ounces you might need:

·         The standard 8 x 8 rule (eight 8-ounce glasses per day).

·         The Institute of Medicine’s Adequate Intake (AI)

o   for women (2.2 liters: about nine 8-ounce glasses)

o   for men (3 liters: about thirteen 8-ounce glasses)

Other factors affecting suggested water intake:

·         Exercise

o   less than an hour (add 13 – 20 extra ounces)

o   more than an hour (include drink with sodium)

·         Motherhood

o   pregnancy (ten 8-ounce glasses per day)

o   breastfeeding (thirteen 8-ounce glasses per day)

Happy Hydrating!

CDC Statistics on your health

Their have been many studies done in the past few years that claim America is an unhealthy country. We have super-sized just about every bad food out there. Many of us have very sedimentary life styles. Our desk jobs, non-active retirement, poor nutrition and health issues have made us an unhealthy nation.

In the USA 75% of our health care cost goes towards chronic health conditions. There are many chronic health conditions brought on by poor nutrition, lack of exercise and low immune functions. There are many chronic ailments that can be corrected or improved just by making a few positive changes in our lifestyles.

At some point we must take responsibility for our health and healing process. I know change is hard for some people but, living  life with a chronic disease, having this disease rob YOU of quality of life, is far harder that change.



The CDC Statistics : 

In 2005, 133 million Americans – almost 1 out of every 2 adults – had at least one chronic illness.

 Obesity has become a major health concern. 1 in every 3 adults is obese and almost 1 in 5 youth between the ages of 6 and 19 is obese

Arthritis is the most common cause of disability, with nearly 19 million Americans reporting activity limitations.

Excessive alcohol consumption is the third leading preventable cause of death in the U.S., behind diet and physical activity and tobacco 

More than one-third of all adults do not meet recommendations for aerobic physical activity based on the 2008 Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans, and 23% report no leisure-time physical activity at all in the preceding month

7.1 million (9.5%) U.S. children have asthma 

In 2009, 211,731 women were diagnosed with breast cancer in the U.S. 

40,676 cancer deaths occurred in the U.S. in 2009 

26.5 million (11.5%) adults have heart disease in the United States

597,689 annual deaths are due to heart disease in the U.S

These are just a few of the statistics facing our population. These are just a few of our nations health issues.

We must be Proactive about OUR HEALTH!

DISEASE IS EASIER TO PREVENT THAN IT IS TO CURE!

Doctor Comments on Chemotherapy

From Health Freedom Aliance Reportwww.healingconcepts.info

According to Dr. John Diamond, M.D., “A study of over 10,000 patients shows clearly that chemo’s supposedly strong track record with Hodgkin’s disease (lymphoma) is actually a lie. Patients who underwent chemo were 14 times more likely to develop leukemia and 6 times more likely to develop cancers of the bones, joints, and soft tissues than those patients who did not undergo chemotherapy.”

Dr. Glenn Warner, who died in 2000, was one of the most highly qualified cancer specialists in the United States. He used alternative treatments on his cancer patients with great success. On the treatment of cancer in this country he said: “We have a multi-billion dollar industry that is killing people, right and left, just for financial gain. Their idea of research is to see whether two doses of this poison is better than three doses of that poison.”

Dr. Alan C. Nixon, past president of the American Chemical Society writes, “As a chemist trained to interpret data, it is incomprehensible to me that physicians can ignore the clear evidence that chemotherapy does much, much more harm than good.” And according to Dr. Charles Mathe, French cancer specialist, “…if I contracted cancer, I would never go to a standard cancer treatment centre. Only cancer victims who live far from such centres have a chance.”

Dr. Allen Levin stated: “Most cancer patients in this country die of chemotherapy. Chemotherapy does not eliminate breast, colon, or lung cancers. This fact has been documented for over a decade, yet doctors still use chemotherapy for these tumors.” In his book, The Topic of Cancer: When the Killing Has to Stop, Dick Richards cites a number of autopsy studies which have shown that cancer patients actually died from conventional treatments before the tumor had a chance to kill them.

Cancer - Hospital still forcing chemo on children

This is the world we live in, a world where you are forced to poison your childs body.

Amish Girl Bails on Chemo, Recovers on Natural Therapy

Submitted by Alice on November 6, 2013 – 5:13 pm

You may recall the story of young Sarah Hershberger, whose parents fought an Ohio hospital for the right to cease chemotherapy treatment. Early October 2013, the hospital sought custody of the child in an attempt to force the child to continue in their treatment protocol. By that time, however, the parents had fled the U.S. to find alternative treatments that would help their child.

The parents now report their child is fully recovered, and that the three foreign doctors have taken tests in triplicate to prove it. Both Cat scans and blood tests show that the leukemia the hospital claimed would kill her within a few months is gone. The foreign doctors used natural, biochemical protocol using nutrition, supplements and plant extracts to care for the child and restore her to health.

The Ohio hospital involved may have another comeuppance. Apparently, the parents were not informed that the chemotherapy being used on their child was experimental, with many severe side effects. The parents also never signed off on the treatment, their 10 year old daughter was presented with papers to sign, instead. The hospital also violated the privacy of the family by releasing the child’s medical info to the media as part of their campaign to get control over the child’s health decisions.

Friends of the Hershberger family have started a Pledge campaign to raise the funds needed for the family to come back to the United States and retain their health independence. Unbelievably, the hospital is still trying to take the family to court and wrest their health freedom from them.

Alternative Cancer Therapy 2

In my practice 90% of my clients are cancer patients. Some refused chemo, some have been poisoned with chemo, but all of them come to my office because they want to improve the quality of their health.

In the USA, the medical community tells us we all carry cancer cells inside of us. So, why doesn't the whole world have active cancer?

As a Naturopathic doctor my objective is to help my cancer clients understand that their immune system is their first line of defense against all disease. It is extremely important to maintain your immune system!
The alternative therapy we provide focuses on rebuilding what has been damaged or weakened and to provide a natural detoxification process for the exit of toxic waste that is causing a severe imbalance.
Alternative therapy has always stated that our immune system was the top priority when fighting cancer.
Yet, mainstream medicine would only except what they could control the high cost of (chem, radiation and surgery) for cancer patients and other chronicly ill people. So, now the drug companies are testing a new drug (?) that will enhance your immune system.

By Deena Beasley

Mar 3 (Reuters) - A drug that uses the body's own immune system to kill cancer cells has produced lasting remissions - some as long as two years - in patients with melanoma that had spread to other parts of the body, according to data published on Monday.

Follow-up from an early-stage, 107-patient trial of the drug, Bristol-Myers Squibb's nivolumab, found that a year after treatment, 62 percent of patients were alive. After two years, 43 percent were alive.

Patients with advanced melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer, have a median life expectancy of around a year, said Dr. F. Stephen Hodi, director of the Melanoma Treatment Center at Boston's Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and one of the studies senior authors.

Patients in the Phase 1 trial, whose cancer had worsened despite prior treatment with standard drugs, were given intravenous infusions of nivolumab every other week for up to 96 weeks.

Side effects of the drug included fatigue, rash, and diarrhea.
There are specific natural formulas that can rebuild your immune system, and aide your body against cancer and other chronic diseases. All things are not for all people. If you want to take a more natural approach to improve your health and healing process, you might want to talk to a Naturopathic doctor and find out all of your options for our health issues. It's your health, it's your choice. www.healingconcepts.info
