Please consult with your health care practitioner before you start a new health care regimen. Even though many of the products listed below are naturally formulated, they can have powerful effects on the body and some products, supplements, herbs, etc. could potentially have adverse interactions with prescription medications. The URL links listed may have changed in some cases. Also, please note that we do not sell any supplements or remedies. Be sure to scroll through this entire page to find the health tips you need. Topics are presented in a basic alphabetical order. Dental Plaque - there is a highly effective product called - WOW - that contains ingredients that bind with dental, bacteria, film, plaque & stains to remove them from the teeth. Just chew a couple of tablets each day and swish around your teeth and gums for 1 to 2 min. WOW can be ordered from Carson Laboratories at http://www.woworalcare.com or call (800)342-2414 Depression - there are numerous underlying causes for depression. There are many natural products that can help. Consult with your doctor before using any of these formulas, especially if you are presently taking prescription anti-depressants. Many of these natural products have been proven in clinical testing to be as effective or better than pharmaceutical drugs in treating mild to moderate depression. For Example, St. John's Wort is widely prescribed by medical doctors in Germany. Getting moderate amounts of daily exercise is one of the best and least expensive tools in fighting depression. Exercise boosts your body's natural serotonin and dopamine levels. Simply taking a pill, whether prescription or natural, may not solve depression without also addressing other underlying factors that may include: life-style situations, heavy metal toxicity, environmental toxins, allergies, endocrine system imbalances (adrenal exhaustion), side effects of various medications, poor strategies for dealing with grief, loss, stress, and many other possible factors. Don't overlook the fact that in some cases, temporary depression is the normal response to a life crisis, such as a death of a loved one, etc. In these cases, time and short term therapy / counseling or just talking to supportive friends may help you get past the depression without reliance on potentially addictive drugs.Psychiatric Drug Side-Effects - understand the dangers and possible side effects of the anti-anxiety, anti-depressants, ADHD drugs - http://www.cchrint.org/psychdrugdangers Did you know ....taking SSRI (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors - Prozac, Paxil, Seroxat, Zoloft, Luvox, Effexor)) anti-depressants along with NSAID (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as aspirin or ibuprofen or COX-2 inhibitors) increases the risk of dangerous gastro-intestinal bleeding by 600%. These findings were reported by researchers at Wake Forest University School of Medicine. Depression Resource website - Fighting Depression - articles and resources for fighting depression - scientific explanations of the chemical mechanisms of depression and the action of alternative treatments including: Tryptophan, 5HTP, L-Deprenyl, NADH, SAMe, Gerovital (GH3), St. John's Wort and much more. http://www.fightingdepression.co.uk/Beating%5Fdepression/ 5-HTP - Serotonin precurser - Supplier - http://www.lifelinknet.com/siteResources/ProductPages/HTP.asp Lithium Orotate or Aspartate - a brain anti-aging element. Used in depression and mood disorders. Helps rehabilitate the brain in recovering alcoholics. Over the counter supplement found in most health food stores contain small dosage tablets of 5 mg. or so (usually taken 3x per day) Mainstream Lithium Carbonate, prescribed by doctors for bi-polar condition is usually given in doses of up to 300mg. per day. The small amounts in the health food store brands should not cause any type of side effects. St. John's Wort - shown to be as effective as the prescription PAXIL in patients with moderate to severe depression. Reported in the British Medical Journal, 2005. The suggested dosage is 300mg three times per day. St. John's Wort lessens the effects of some drugs and should not be taken with Statins, Digoxin, Oral Contraceptives, Coumadin or Prilosec. Check with your doctor for other potential drug interactions before taking St. John's Wort. The product used in the Paxil study is called - Perika - by Nature's Way. SAMe - is a natural amino acid metabolite found in the body in nearly every cell. SAMe produces significant improvements in mood, similar to anti-depressants, but without the major side-effects. It also works much faster than drugs (within one week, compared to six to eight weeks for prescription drugs). Suggested Dosage is 200-400mg. twice a day on an empty stomach. It should not be taken by anyone who is suicidal or has bi-polar disorder. L-Tryptophan - this is a precuresor for serotonin. Some medical authorities suggest starting with 3 to 5 grams per day and perhaps gradually reducing the dosage if the symptoms are brought under control. DHEA - a National Institute of Mental Health study found DHEA to be an effective treatment for midlife-onset depression. Although DHEA is available as an over the counter supplement in health food stores, keep in mind that this is a hormone normally produced by the body. Ideally, one should have their hormone levels checked for any imbalances prior to taking DHEA supplements. Suggested Dosage: 25 mg per day for women and 50 mg per day for men. Have your blood levels tested before beginning supplementation or increasing the dose for DHEA. Adrafinil - brand name - Olmifon - stimulant / anti-depressant that also enhances mental clarity, alertness and awareness Omega 3 Fatty Acids - flax oil and fish oils (EPA and DHA) - cell membranes require a lot of omega 3 essential fatty acids. This is especially true of the brain. Omega 3 fats fight depression by increasing the neurotransmitter production of Serotonin and Dopamine. Use of Omega 6 oils - found in sunflower oil, safflower oil, soy and corn oil has largely replace the more beneficial Omega 3 oils found in flax and fish. The heavy imbalance of Omega 6 oils over Omega 3 in the Western diet contributes to depression, suicide and aggression. Remember, that the brain is composed of about 60% fat. The medical and pharmaceutical establishment, with their much discredited crusade against fats and cholesterol are doing untold damge to millions of people. There are numerous sources for good quality organic plant oils and fish oils. Here is a suggestion for a company with a wide range of products - http://bulknaturaloils.com/index.html Rubidium Padma Seacure (fish peptides) GH-3 Essential Amino Acids Diabetes
/ Neuropathy Supplements and Therapies There are a number of other supplements that will reduce the destructive AGE's in the body. These include: Resveratrol, Curcumin(Turmeric), L-Carnosine, Quercetin, Green and White Tea. Water as a Treatment for Diabetes - surprisingly, chronic water dehydration could be a cause of diabetes in some individuals. This can often be improved and in some cases, reversed by drinking 8 glasses of water per day and engaging in daily moderate exercise, such as walking. This simple formula has been advanced by Dr. F. Batmanghelidj, M.D., Author of the book - Your Body's Many Cries for Water. Published by - Global Health Solutions, Inc. P.O. Box 3189. Falls Church, VA. 22043. Tel. (703) 848-2333 ISBN 0-9629942-5-1. Dr. B. is now deceased, but a website with his information is located at - http://www.phenomenews.com/nov2005/archive_set.htm Recommendation is to drink 8 to 10 (8-ounce) glasses of water per day (and 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt in the daily diet). Soft drinks, coffee, tea, juices, alcholol do not count as water. Diamaxol - all natural remedy to regulate blood sugar & insulin. Partial list of ingredients: Banaba, Guggle, Bitter Melon, Licorice extract, Cinnamon herb powder, Gymnema Sylvestre, Yarrow, Cayenne, Juniper Berries, Huckleberry, Vanadyl Sulfate. Diamaxol claims the following: Diamaxol, along with a healthy lifestyle, is claimed to be 99% effective for Type 2 and 64% effective for Type 1 at reversing the root cause of diabetes, based on clinical studies. Supplier: http://www.techmedica.com/diabeticine.html or http://www.micronutra.com/diamaxol.html?kbid=1200&sub=211713_[cell%20diabetes%20cure]_ Salacia Oblinga - from India is an herb that has a long history of use in Ayurvedic medicine. Claims to safely reduce blood insulin levels by 29 percent and the post-meal rise in blood sugar by 23 percent. These results are comparable to prescription diabetes medications. Salacia works by binding with certain enzymes and preventing them from turning carbohydrates into free glucose, thus, reducing the need for insulin. Also increases the beneficial HDL cholesterol, while lowering total cholesterol and triglycerides. As a bonus, Salacia helps prevent the conversion of glucose into fats that lead to obesity.

that help lower blood sugar glucose levels and reduce diabetic complications Chromium Picolinate - 400 mcg Vanadyl sulfate - 100mg Cinnamon/Clove - combination formulas available at health food stores - look for the variety of cinnamon called - cinnamomum cassia. Cinnamon - 1/2 - 1 teaspoon daily reduces blood sugar levels and cholesterol. 1/4 teaspoon, twice daily has been shown to lower blood sugar levels 18 to 29 percent, triglycerides as much as 30 percent, and total cholesterol 12 to 26 percent - after just 40 days. One source recommends mixing cinnamon powder into foods, shakes, etc. while another authority states that saliva de-activates the active ingredient in cinnamon. He recommends taking a capsule form. One of the medical sources we researched claims that only a particular form of Cinnamon, called - Cinnamomum cassia - was the most effective in lowering blood sugar levels. The nutrient found in cinnamon that mimics insulin, is called - methylhydroxychalcone (or MHCP). There may be some combination formulas incorporate cinnamon or MHCP so look for these at your health food store. Cloves - 1/2 teaspoon daily reduces blood sugar levels and cholesterol. May be mixed with cinnamon as suggested above. According to a study by Dr. Alam Khan of Pakistan, 36 individuals with type 2 diabetes had the following results: individuals took either 0, 1, 2, or 3 grams of cloves for a period of 30 days. All of those taking cloves had significant improvements. Those who took no cloves showed no improvements. Those on cloves had an average decrease in glucose from 225 to 150 mg/dL, Triglycerides went from 235 to 203 mg/dL. Total cholesterol decreased from 273 to 239 mg./dL. LDL cholesterol decreased from 175 to 145 mg/dL. HDL remained the same. Vinegar - research indicates that taking 2 tablespoons of vinegar PRIOR to a meal dramatically reduces the spike in blood levels of glucose and insulin that occur after eating a meal. Apple cider vinegar, white vinegar, balsamic vinegar should all work the same way. Subjects diagnosed as pre-diabetic had the best response (up to 50 percent drop in glucose within the first hour after eating).Those with type 2 diabetes experienced an average 25 perecent drop in blood sugar levels. These results are comparable to some anti-diabetes drugs. Evening primrose or borage oil - 1,500mg. Alpha lipoic acid - 200-600 mg. - can help support and rebuild nerve function & sensation in diabetic neuropathy. Diabetes and Coffee - caffeinated coffee has been shown to increase blood sugar levels from 8 to 26 percent, depending upon the time of day (9 percent after breakfast, 15 percent after lunch and 26 percent after dinner) Reference - Diabetes Care - 08;31:221-222. Caffeine triggers release of adrenalin, which makes the cells less responsive to insulin. This results in higher levels of blood sugar with all of the attendant damage this can cause over a long term. Surprisingly, De-Caffeinated coffee did not cause this effect in the studies. So, go ahead and enjoy your occasional cup of coffee for its flavor and excellent anti-oxidant benefits! Aspartame - many diabetics (and now, the population in general) have been brainwashed into eating or drinking foods, beverages, snack foods, that use aspartame instead of sugar. These people falsely believe they are doing something healthy for their bodies. Aspartame is 10 to 11 percent methanol by weight. This breaks down in the body into formaldahyde and then to formic acid. Drink several artificially sweetened drinks or coffee sweeteners per day and you may be pickling your brain. Aspartame contains high percentages of the amino acids phenylalanine and aspartic acid. They make up 90 percent of aspartame. These amino acids trigger the body to release the hormones, insulin and leptin. This confuses your brain's satiety signaling feedback mechanism and adds excess insulin into the bloodstream. This results in ever more craving for sweets and leads to weight gain.....just the opposite of what dieters are hoping to accomplish. Educate yourself! All the information you need for good health is literally at your fingertips today with the information on the internet. Wound Healing Products - for diabetic related or other pressure sores and wounds, such as bed sores - Wound Care Shop - (866)207-5909 or http://www.woundcareshop.com Diabetes Sores - supplementing with Zinc can dramatically speed healing of sores and ulcerations. Dosage information not given. Honey - a "Sweet" secret of healing open wounds or ulcerations (in diabetics or bed sores) is to dress the wound with regular granulated white sugar or honey. Sugar creates an environment where bacteria cannot thrive. This method has been used extensively in India. Today, with all of the emerging anti-biotic resistant bacteria such as MRSA, utilizing these "old-fashioned" but effective methods could be a solution to healing stubborn open wounds in diabetics or in bed-ridden patients suffering from bed sores. Simply isolate the open wound area with strips of gauze bandage coated in vasoline petroleum jelly, then pour 1/4 inch of sugar right on the wound and cover it with a gauze bandage. Clean the wound every 2 days and repeat the procedure until healed. The same method can be followed using Honey. A good brand of honey to consider is called Manuka Honey, available in many health food stores. Down Syndrome - many physical and metabolic symptoms associated with Down Syndrome can be greatly improved according to the research of Dixie Lawrence, a non-medical researcher and mother of a Down Syndrome daughter. Dixie developed a nutritional formula called Nutrivene-D, that helps overcome metabolic deficiencies.

When drinking the tea, use three cups per day, one after each meal for the first week. Then reduce to 2 cups per day following meals. Then, down to 1 cup per day as improvement continues. With the capsules, use 1 capsule twice per day (morning & evening) for 1 or 2 weeks. Then cut down to 1 capsule per day. If results are very positive, one can eliminate the tea entirely and see if the condition remains clear. Naturally, this formula does not work for everyone, but give it two weeks to see if it works.

Supplier - Valen Labs Inc. - phone - (866)267-8253 Internet - http://www.valenlabs.com Body Oxygen - according to medical studies this formula increases mitochondria by up to 25 percent. This unique formulation combines yeast cells, fruit juices, amino acids and certain vitamins that stimulate mitochondrial activity. According to the research of Dr. Siegfried Wolz, the German physician who developed Body Oxygen. Mitochondria are cell organelles (literally; organs of the cell) that serve as power plants, processing nutrients and oxygen that feed the cells. But toxins and diseases weaken mitochondria, often reducing cellular efficiency, as we grow older. The results range from the typical signs of aging to chronic and debilitating illnesses. Original Dr. Wolz formula - http://www.betterlife.com/prod_home_page.asp?prod_id=8722&source=slsgoogle This claim has been backed up by a European trial that showed Body Oxygen effectively increased cellular respiration (oxygenation) in a study of 20,000 cancer patients. The author of that study, Dr. Serge Jurasunas, believes that a daily dosage of Body Oxygen may help prevent and treat the disorders caused by decreased mitochondrial ATP production. Body Oxygen supplier at - http://www.bodyoxygen.com. Algaea-X (or Mitol) - a topical pain cream derived from Korean seaweed (ecklonia cava).

Supplier - Advanced Bionutritionals - 1-800-791-3395. http://www.advancedbionutritionals.com/ Gallbladder - many gallbladder problems can be alleviated by avoiding certain foods that cause allergic reactions. This could be things like eggs, onions, cooking oils or other foods. Periodic Gallbladder/Liver flushes can be helpful in many cases. Basic instructions for this procedure can easily be located on the internet. If you have already had your Gallbladder removed, it is very important to replace the missing bile that is normally collected in the gallbladder and released after a meal. The solution for this is to take Bile Salt supplements daily. A good formula is called Cholacol - from Standard Process. You can order this item from Village Green Apothecary - (800)869-9159. Also, see - http://www.medicinenet.com/gallstones/article.htm for more information about the gallbladder and its functions. The Gallbladder performs many important functions for the body including: helping to digest fats and all fat-soluble vitamins, It also helps to remove toxins, bacteria and viruses from the body. Dissolve Gallstones and Kidney Stones - South American Herb - Chanca Piedra - taken as a tea, can dissolve Gallstones, sometimes within a couple of weeks. It has no drug side-effects and tastes like a strong black tea. Available in many health food stores or from Rainforest Herbs - http://www.rain-tree.com/index.html Magnesium - in the form of magnesium citrate or malate (not magnesium aspartate) - research has shown that low magnesium levels significantly raise the risk for gallstones and kidney stones. Taking magnesium in the forms mentioned, greatly inhibits stone formation. Magnesium also reduces the painful spasms associated with a kidney stone attack and helps to dislodge the stone from the tube leading from the kidney to the bladder (the ureter). Dosages were not suggested in these references. GERD / Acid Reflux / Heartburn - Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease - a good natural remedy is deglycyrrhizinated licorice (DGL). This herb increases production of protective mucous cells and helps reduce inflammation. Look for DGL in health food stores or on-Line. Eating smaller meal portions and avoiding irritating foods will help you avoid acid reflux. Also, drink a glass of water 1/2 hour before eating. Water is essential for rebuilding the protective mucous lining of the stomach. Heartburn and related symptoms may actually be caused by TOO LITTLE stomach acid. This situation is then worsened when people consume over the counter antacids. When there is an insufficiency of hydrochloric acid needed for proper digestion, it does little good to inhibit the small amount of stomach acid that may be remaining. One may find temporary relief by taking antacid medicines, but the key is to restore the proper balance of hydrochloric acid. One may take hydrochloric acid/betaine/pepsin supplements from the health food store. However, it is best to have stomach acid function tested by a competent doctor (not one who simply wants to place you on prescription medicine to control your heartburn). This condition is nearly always curable with the proper treatment. Another great remedy for too little stomach acid, is the Standard Process product called Zypan - available from Total Health Discount Vitamins - 800-283-2833 - http://www.totalhealthdiscountvitamins.com Sometimes, excess stomach acid is caused by an over-excited Vagus Nerve and this can be caused by factors such as Hiatal Hernia, deficiency of alkaline minerals in the diet and chronic stress. D-limonene - extract of citrus peel - provides a protective coating for the stomach and esophagus. In a clinical trial, subjects took one gram of d-limonene every other day for 20 days. One third of subjects reported relief from heartburn after just a single capsule. Within 2 weeks, 90 percent reported relief. A single course of treatment provided symptomatic relief for up to six months. As of now, d-limonene is available only through health care practitioners, but this may change in the future.
