It's the New Sexy! Food is Pharmaceutical!

The EMPOWER Yourself book holds much of the story about how organic foods strengthened my dangerously weakened body and helped to restore life to crushed optic nerves. 

Sight returned to my eyes. 

Strength filled my body. 

Medical records were repeatedly made. Others seem to be shaping up, according to the medical professionals observing my on-going recovery 12 years after life-saving surgery.

I'm only one of so many people helped by a wholesome diet. The evidence that simple, unadulterated food and pure water can protect and restore health has long been obvious. But the medical profession has taken a long time to admit that.

Admissions have been made here and there, though and I'm noticing their increasing frequency. In just the past week I've noticed

Doctors Want Sugar and 'Cancer-Causing' Foods Out of Hospitals

A major doctors' group hopes to put an end to a great irony served up daily at most U.S. hospitals: The food offered there tends to contribute to obesity, diabetes, heart disease, stroke and cancer — the very same conditions for which many of the hospital patients are seeking treatment...

So sad that it took this long for the news to finally, finally make headlines. I've advocated foods with zinc and zinc supplements to people facing surgery or recovering from other wounds for DECADES!

Here's How to Put Out the PAIN from Poison Ivy!

B'SD

26 Av 5772

Vacation time can be compromised when you're nursing the itch and P*A*I*N of Poison Ivy. Here are several pain-stoppers popular in the natural healing world:

• A paste of baking soda and coffee pack to sit on the rash as it draws out the poison
• Banana peel straight on the affected skin
• Bentonite Clay (available from natural healing outlets) mixed with Tumeric (a spice)
• Milk of Magnesia
• Plain oatmeal bath or pharmacy-sold popular oatmeal bath preparations which take the itch out of chickenpox sufferers
• Watermelon slices on the rash 

You can learn to identify the problematic plant by seeing photos of different varieties at WIKIHOW's Poison Ivy ID page.
 
Distract yourselves with as much fun as possible as you recover: Videos, music, good reading, craft projects, anything that occupies your mind more than the pain.

Good luck and let me know which remedy works for you!

8 Easy Ways to Cope with Motion Sickness

B'SD

3 Cheshvan 5771




Okay, I let you know how to lower the cost and commotion of the holidays last week. Today's update is about how to arrive with a steady stomach and sweet breath even if you usually throw up during travel time.

By the way, parents,
the suggestions below
can help kids on school
vans & buses, too ;^ D

1. Natural food shops and licensed natural pharmacies sell medications and natural products for motion sickness. Ask the staff to help you to find them.

2. BUS Behavior:
- Sit at the front of the bus, van or car. Looking out the front window helps some people
- No reading!
- Close your eyes to rest OR look out the windows at far-away scenery (for some reason, watching the scene recede is not nauseating)
- Carry airline sickness bags or several plastic bags from the grocer placed open and inside each other, just in case (they provide reassurance and an easy-to-dispose-of collection point)

3. FOOD
- Eat pretzels, crackers, rice cakes (light & easy on the tummy)
- DO NOT drink milk before traveling on buses, vans or cars
- Suck pre-cut lemon wedges
- Eat breakfast before morning travel. Focus on protein and carbohydrates. Leave time to digest the food before boarding a vehicle
- DON'T travel on an empty stomach

4. Miscellaneous
- Chew mint gum, mint or Tic-Tacs
- Lemon drops can prevent vomiting and nausea
- Sniff scented wipes you already packed in your pockets
- Acupressure wrist-bands provide pressure points at the wrist (or have someone teach you how to press your wrist correctly with the fingers of your other hand)
- Chewable Vitamin C can minimize problems

5. Natural and Standard Medications
- Bonine - lasts 24 hrs but I'm not sure it available outside the USA
- Dramamine non-drowsy version – but I'm not sure this is available outside the USA, either
- Pramin - a prescription drug can prevent nausea and vomiting
- Cocculine
- Nux Vomica (these sublingual tablets dissolve under the tongue)

6. Consult a certified doctor or experienced homeopathic practitioner for other solutions

7. Ginger tablets can prevent problems

8. Read this article - http://www.medicinenet.com/motion_sickness/article.htm

Cures and Comfort for the Common Cold

B'SD


22 Kislev 5770


Want to help your little one, teenager or adults in the family to lose a cold faster than average? Here are some easy recipes for success:

Prepare a soup made ONLY of onions, garlic and a bit of sea salt.

The easily swallowed soup, ingested as much as desired, will direct germs and all kind of yukky stuff to the sewer while hydrating the feverish tyke who breathes with an open mouth.

A small amount of yummy honey brings up phlegm to be spit out.


Teensy-weensy homeopathic Mercurius-Heel S pills help to drain sinus cavities in adults who catch the little one's cold. Take one every 15 minutes for the first hour, then one every 8 hours for several days.

Prepare handkerchiefs for a cozier nose-blowing week (I prefer men's solid hankies because they're sturdier than lacey lady-like stuff). The goo is going to pour out of your head. Er, when I'm home with a cold I use torn dish towels and old washcloths to keep my nose clean and to avoid the harsh abrasion from papery commercial tissues. The soft fabric touch prevents the peeling skin you get from frequent nose-blows. And they keep the pillow clean...

Yes, I often use unexpected solutions to healthcare problems. You just don't always know what it could take to EMPOWER Yourself to Cope with a Medical Challenge.

Cranio Sacral Therapy, Organic Foods & Lifestyle CAN Restore Your Health

17 Iyar 5768

It's official. This week's confirmational workup at the hospital-based eye clinic following my unusual case of vision recovery conveyed MORE GOOD NEWS to more medical professionals this week.

My eyewear prescription has definitely fallen for the 9th time in two years. "Unprecedented," is a common reaction to the medical evidence. "How can this be happening?" asked the head of the department.

Some of the eyecare professionals examining me over time suspect that I will not need corrective lenses in the future. Every aspect of my vision problems are... decreasing and disappearing!

Stay tuned. I'll let you know when one of my doctors writes an article about me. One already mentioned that he's started developing his interesting essay.

What else are Cranio Sacral Therapy and my organic foods and lifestyle accomplishing for me? I just gained another 18 degrees of mobility in my previously broken arm (healing from a Grade Three elbow fracture) - the limb that was almost amputated due to severe bone and nerve damage. My elbow bends another 10 degrees and my wrist bends 8 more than a month ago.

This increased movement ability happened during a full month without OT or PT therapy (thanks to a paperwork snafu that reads right to left).

But my Cranio Sacral therapist and I kept up our scheduled pace. I visited my Occupational Therapist today, after resolving the paperwork mess. She measured my movements for comparison's sake. We've grinned widely at her measuring tools and my healing modality. The evidence is before us. CST is healing me. My arm, eyes, and more are clearly being favorably affected.

John Upledger, the famous Cranio Sacral Therapy trainer is pleased. One of his graduates is my CST practitioner (one of her trainees is another CSTer working on my recovery). She keeps letting him know about my amazing progress.

Change your eating habits. Increase your optimism. Benefit from Cranio Sacral Therapy. And heal, heal, heal. Cope, cope, cope. At minimum, improve your health. Learn how. Buy my book.

Have a Good Health Care Idea?

10 Tevet 5768

My Israeli blog visitors might be interested to know that the Health Ministry invites Israel's citizens to submit requests for new Health Basket benefits.

Suggestions by local citizenry will be prioritized along with those submitted by medical professionals, then added to the recommendations being prepared for the Finance Ministry (it subsidizes national health services). At least that’s what was reported on Page 7 of the Jerusalem Post this past Friday.

Send your politely phrased ideas to public.sal @ moh.gov.il (remove the spaces on either side of the @ symbol after you copy & paste the info into your E-mail system).

***
While we’re on the topic of health care ideas, here are some ways you can avoid trips to the doctor or pharmacy. All you need is a nearby garden or a peek into your kitchen cupboards:

Want to boost your immune system without a big expense? Buy organic Curcumin/Tumeric and cook it in soups, rice, vegetable and meat stews. I even lightly powder salads with it. Adjust the al dente amount according to your preferences.

Here's a bit of exciting information about Curcumin/Tumeric from The Brain Tumor Society (a fan of my blog named Cindi alerted me to it): http://www.tbts.org/assets/files/Fact%20Sheets/Nutrition_and_Brain_Tumors.pdf

I recommend using canned Crisco (a small container reserved for the changing table) on baby's behind. It will now remain rash and odor-free because ammonia won’t develop on the tender skin. Wash baby’s bottom with pure soaps and water and use cloth diapers as often as possible to minimize diaper-area problems.

Cradle Cap comes off after you've smeared vegetable oil on it. Let it sit a few minutes. A gentle rubdown with baby soap, a simple terry cloth washrag or towel wipes it off. Baby will probably coo as you work. Kiss as often as you wish.

Honey on boo-boos (even for youngsters and adults) is painless and curative. DO NOT use honey on infants under one year of age. It’s life-threatening if they eat it, and babies tend to lick their wounds, let alone sweet stuff.

Aloe juice also cures boo-boos and it dries upon skin like a protective bandage. If you don’t have an aloe plant in the garden or potted in the house, buy one.

Mint toothpaste on itchy bug bites ends the misery. And you'll never have cavities on your ankles or knuckles ;^ )

Liquid soap also ends bug bite itch.

Want to keep bugs off you without using chemical preparations from the store? Crush a clove of garlic, put the liquid in an empty, clean spray bottle and add a bit of water. Spray the liquid lightly onto your sox. You can spray crushed garlic juice and water mixtures onto plants infested with bugs and they will leave the area.

Cooled teabags end under-eye puffiness when you rest them on your lids (my neurosurgeon mentioned this as I giggled upon hearing an old, reliable truth!)

A bar of soap (any type) between the bottom sheet and your mattress cover ends middle-of-the-night leg cramps, though I don’t know why. You get used to the bump (sort of) and if you’re really talented, you can scoot the bar of soap into juuuust the right spot using your ankles. Yeah, there, under that cramped calf muscle… ahhhh….relief! After a week or so, you won’t suffer leg cramps at night. Just keep that soap bar on the mattress pad for long-lasting comfort.

Men, this is for you: you don’t have to scratch your itchy backs on the corner of a doorway any longer. Just grab a plastic pasta fork with smoothly curved prongs and rub it over your shirt above the itchy area (no, not directly on your skin! Yuk!). I refuse to name the guy who taught me that maneuver because he wants to trademark it. I bet he and his wife can still hear me laughing over transatlantic waters… Listen, it saves wear and tear on your skin, let alone the sweater you might be wearing… Give it a try.
