Bronchial asthma is a kind of asthma condition where the lungs are having disturbances or obstructions in the ventilation of the air passages in the respiratory system. Once these disturbances and obstructions occur, the lungs will evoke a feeling of shortness of breath.

This occurrence may even lead to paroxysms that tighten the air passages of the bronchial system. When these happen, serious bronchial asthma treatment is recommended.

Bronchial asthma may have several causes. One of the main causes of it is the raising of resistance level to the air flow of the bronchial passages. As it happens, the muscles of the passages won´t be able to support the activities of gas exchanging and breathing in the respiratory system though the muscles are working harder.

When a bronchial asthma attack occurs, spasms of the bronchial muscles usually happen. As it happens, there would be an increase in the secretion of mucus and swelling of the bronchial walls. These occurrences should be given with the proper bronchial asthma treatment.

Bronchial asthma treatment now has new treatment protocols that recommend the prevention of asthma medications, such as inhaling corticosteroids or nebulizers. This medication usually helps an asthmatic person to suppress the inflammation of the lungs as well as reduce the swelling of the linings in the airway passages.

Another recommended bronchial asthma treatment is alternative therapies. A recent study shows that almost half of the population of asthmatic persons now uses the form of unconventional therapy for their bronchial asthma treatment.

Apparently, there are specific bronchial asthma treatments that may always depend on the severity of the asthma condition present on the person. The frequency of the asthma signs and symptoms are always considered.

Generally, the bronchial asthma treatments are classified as preventers, relievers, and emergency treatment. With these, bronchial asthma treatment can have different forms that can be recommended to patients considering how often the attacks occur.

Many women will disagree, but the fact is that PMS (Pre-Menstrual Syndrome is NOT a disease. PMS is actually a product of our modern diet, combined with our daily stress, etc.

There are several chemical changes in the blood of a woman that occur a few days prior to the actual menstrual period, or bleeding cycle.The zinc level goes lower and the copper level goes higher is a major change. Since, very high copper/zinc ratios can actually cause schizophrenia, it might be said that every woman slides at least a little bit towards “crazy” or schizophrenic/depressed at this period.

In some women, these imbalances can be very serious.All these changes are individual and depend on current rations of copper and zinc, genetic and other factors.  There are several other changes as the female body gets ready for another cycle of fertility.  There are different symptoms for each woman, although many become irritable at least.  PMS is something that husbands use to explain when the wife gets angry or upset.It’s an “excuse” used at times by some wives as well.

A very simple and inexpensive vitamin/mineral “cure” is available that seems to work for all women. It’s a simple secret. Take B6 and magnesium regularly. Unfortunately, this “word″ got out, and some MD’s heard about it, and started their patients on large doses of B6. These women developed different other problems which were then determined by the MD’s as “B6 toxicity”, and thus B6 got a bad name. B6 was then written up by some “learned experts” as toxic in large quantities.

The truth, known to all scientists who have studied vitamin and mineral interaction, is much simpler.Taking large doses of any one B vitamin may cause a “deficiency” in some others.  Thus, if you are going to take large doses of B6, you MUST be taking at least a 50 Mg B complex at the same time.All B complex vitamins are needed working together in synergism.)

THIS IS CRITICAL TO AVOID PROBLEMS, AND YOU’LL BE IN BETTER HEALTH AS A RESULT AS WELL.
As for magnesium, there is a built-in body response to too much - Diarrhea. Epsom salts, an old laxative, is magnesium sulphate, and a little goes a long way. I recommend magnesium citrate from any health food store as better than Epsom Salts.

On my website, there is a page devoted to a basic vitamin mineral regimen. I′ve personally used Solgar VM-75 for over 25 years. Since it contains 75 mg of all the B vitamins, it solves the above problem, and probably many other health problems as well.  No woman who has followed my advice on this has ever had a problem with excess B6.

I have no vested interest in Solgar, but I’ve found that it works for most for over 25 years. My recommendations for magnesium and calcium balance are also on that webpage.

How much B6 should you take to avoid PMS? Since everyone’s different, that’s a tough one to answer. The usual recommendation is to try taking about 200 mg per day at least 10 days prior to the menstrual period and see if you have PMS.  If not, for that period, try cutting down to 100 mg for the next period. It’s up to you to experiment until you find the dosage that’s right for you. You are the best judge of your health. Take either a multi that provides at least 50 mg of the B complex (or Solgar VM-75) daily with this B6 dosage.

If 200 mg doesn’t clear up the PMS completely, try 250 mg, or try taking the 200 for the whole month. Response is individual and varies. My wife, when I first met her over 20 years ago had very bad PMS. She started on 200 mg and had no PMS. A month or so later, she got quite twitchy, and remarked “You know if I didn’t know better, I’d think I was having PMS. I’m craving salty foods and feeling bad.”

When I told her that I had cut her down to 100 mg she got very angry at me. So, she went back up and we found that 150 mg every day added to the 75 in the VM-75 was just right for her at that time. A year or so later, she no longer needed the B6, as the VM-75 did it for her. She has never had PMS again. This experience is typical for most women. I hope it helps you.

Medicinal Aloe Vera plants can be found in households all over the world, because they are known to be a medicinal herb. They differ from other plant, in that they do not have any naturally occurring populations, although closely related Aloes do occur in northern Africa. It is currently known to mainly live in captivity or cultivated by farmers for commercial use. That is what makes it rather unique in relation to the majority of other household plants that still grow naturally outdoors.

Another unique quality is that this plant has many health benefits reported to boost your immune system and case studies have shown that vera juice extract has a positive effect on diabetes and heart disease. The aloe vera products are beneficial for so many ailments and health conditions including IBS, eczema, diabetes, heart disease and it is because of this, many manufactures add it to their product, which also attracts a large number of consumers to purchase it.

The best gardening temperature conditions for aloe vera to grow are zone 8 through zone 10. It does not require much water and can be grown both indoor or outdoors. Aloe does not tolerate snow or frost and will die under such conditions. If you want to keep aloe in colder climates, it must be kept indoors or in a greenhouse to prevent frost from killing it. The aloe vera plant visibly resembles the cacti family and has a very tender stalk that is moist on the inside. As it is suited for dry climates, over watering is the most common cause of death of this plant. The best way to determine when it needs to be watered is by the soil, which should be very dry before watering, this will help to prevent harming or killing it, therefore, the soil is a good indicator on the best time to water the plant. To prevent root rot, be sure to purchase soil made for desert plant life, one that will provide proper water drainage for the plant.

Many people grow these plants at home and use them as a quick treatment for small cuts or burns. There are conflicting studies on how aloe vera affects the rate of healing. Studies have been conducted to observe the healing rate with various factors, such as the type of wound inflicted, it’s severity and how it was bandage after applying aloe vera to it. In some studies, healing rate is increase from aloe vera. In certain forms, the aloe vera is safe to ingest too.

Despite the lack of specific scientific proof on the increased healing and other properties of aloe vera, it has gained a high regard by the average individual, granting the aloe vera plant a place in shampoos, lotions, soaps and a wide range of cosmetics. The benefit to consumers from these products with aloe vera is something highly desired, despite the lack of scientific confirmation of it’s benefits.

The aloe vera gel found in the plant, is believed to have originated in Africa, with cousins of the aloe vera plant still surviving to date. There are references to aloe in the bible, which makes it one of the oldest documented species of plants known.

A virus, Herpes lives (hides) in the fatty tissue that covers nerve cells.  There are three classified types of common human herpes, although the first two below are the same virus found in different places.

Herpes Simplex 1: AKA a cold sore. The most common usually occurring on or around the lip area, but it may appear anywhere on the body.  It is often transmitted to other persons via kissing.   

Herpes Simplex 2: This has become known as “genital herpes″, as it is usually transmitted by gentital contact. It is actually the same disease as Herpes 1 above..

Herpes Zoster:  Also known as “Shingles”, this can be the most painful of all.  It is considered to be a “left-over″ or mutated form of chicken pox that lies dormant (or can) for many years and suddenly appears.  It affects many older persons.

All of these forms are generated to a large extent by stress as a major factor.There are several other factors involved however.  Understanding these factors is important in preventing outbreaks.

Herpes viruses require a certain imbalance of two amino acids to reproduce.  These are Argenine and Lysine.  If, and when, the Argenine level gets high, and the Lysine level gets low, conditions are favorable and Herpes comes out to play (reproduce).

That’s when you first notice an itch that becomes a small reddened area with one or more very small pimples.  Don’t kiss anyone or have sex without a condom (depending on the area of the Herpes outbreak) during this time. Herpes is spread by simple contact, and is very infectious.

There is no cure for herpoid viruses to date.  Herpes is estimated to affect 80 million people in America, and about 20% of the US population has genital Herpes.

We can’t cure Herpes, but we can have some measure of control of infectious outbreaks.  If we keep the level of Lysine high, the conditions for reproduction are limited.  (Another benefit of high Lysine levels is that it seems to help keep the heart healthy).  It should be noted that this is not always that simple.  Our diet is important.  Sugar, chocolate, and nuts are high in Argenine, and many athletes use Argenine as strength building.  Herpes is known as the Holiday disease, particularly at Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas seasons.

I’ve had genital Herpes for 60 years, and have never infected another person to my knowledge.Years ago, I learned what is written here, and was careful not to infect others.

Over the years, my requirement for Lysine has increased.I still very occasionally get an outbreak, even though I take 1000 mg of Lysine a day. (I drink “dark” chocolate instead of coffee most days.)

Dealing with an outbreak
We humans still fail even with the best intentions.  We overeat those foods that are high in Argenine, and we have stress almost constantly, so we will get outbreaks.Several different remedies are available, some OTC (over the counter), and some prescription.

First take care of the affected skin area.The area should be kept clean and dry during episodes. Avoid physical contact with the area from the time of first noticing symptoms (typically tingling, itching, burning) until all sores are completely healed, not just scabbed-over.  Until that time, you and your “discards″ are highly infectious.Any residue including the scabs that is on you or your clothes is dangerous, and can re-infect you or others.

Next, treat the outbreak carefully.  Valtrex and similar ointments do help to dry up the infection quickly, but I found a simpler and much cheaper way years ago. Simply wet a corner of an ordinary bar of soap and rub it thoroughly over the infected area, coating it.  I then scratch the area, and break the small pimples while doing this.  This kills the virus and disinfects the area.

Wash hands thoroughly, and let the soapy area dry, or put a large bandaid over it before putting closthes on.  Tiny scabs are formed immediately, and within a few days, the tiny scabs are gone and the skin is “normal″.

MD’s and Big Pharma may disagree with the above, but it’s worked for me and many others for years.A no-brainer - soap is cheap and available, and you avoid doctors and drugs.

If you understand and follow these simple instructions, then Herpes Simplex isn′t that much of a problem.

The herb Feverfew (Tanacetum parthenium) has always been seen as a medicinal herb. As the name implies, folk healers used it as a cure for fevers. Scientists have evaluated Feverfew, and, though it does not reduce fevers, it was found to be an antispasmodic. Spasms in small blood vessels, which are known to be a cause of migraine headaches, have been shown to be reduced by use of Feverfew. The chief active ingredient has been isolated, and might, someday, lead to a pure extract. Additional clinical studies have found that feverfew can stop vomiting and relieve nausea, while improving digestion. Other studies have indicated:

- relief from asthma attacks
- promotion of restful sleep
- relief from the inflammation, and thus the pain, of arthritis.

In a study on migraine sufferers conducted by British researchers in the 1980′s, 7 out of 10 people reported either fewer or less painful migraines. Some people reported that feverfew helped with depression as well. The leaves of the plant are normally consumed. The most common side effect is mouth ulcers, and use should be discontinued if this occurs.

There are commercial tinctures of feverfew available, or it can be grown at home.

Feverfew is easily grown in the US and Europe, as it is a relative of the mint family. It grows as a tall (12-24″ or more) bushy plant, which displays a multitude of small white flowers, which will remind you of small daisies. Once planted, it will spread by self seeding and sending out runners. It emerges in the spring, and will continue to grow and bloom throughout the summer if flowers are pinched back.

To use medicinally, consume 1 medium sized leaf per day. There are limited recipes for feverfew available. You may want to try putting it into a tossed salad, along with other fresh herbs. Another approach would be to sprinkle chopped feverfew leaves on top of marinara sauce. It could be made into pesto, using your favorite nuts.

In summary, the potential benefits of feverfew are many, and this important natural herbal remedy should not be neglected as a treatment for many common health problems. If additional information about feverfew is required, you may want to try “Googling” this term. There will be a wealth of information available on the internet.

Eczema can be described as an allergic reaction on the skin, and as with other skin problems it is recommended to use eczema natural cure to treat it. There have been a lot of people reported that they get several bad side effects after taking medical approach to cure their eczema.

There are three methods of measuring mineral toxicity without actually taking a biopsy of the liver.

1.  Blood Analysis:  This measures only what is in the blood at the time of taking the sample.  The problem with this is not only that it is limited in time, but blood levels will vary considerably over time, giving very inaccurate measures.

2.  Urine Analysis:  This measures only what was in the blood a short time ago.  If a 24 hour collection is made, then it is much more accurate.   

3.  Hair Analysis:  Depending on the length of the hairs used, this can measure amounts over weeks or even months, and even years.  We can also measure using fingernails with the same general accuracy.

Here’s a major problem with all three methods.  Toxic minerals are filtered out of the blood by the liver, and stored there (or moved to other storage).  The liver WILL NOT release these toxic minerals UNLESS there is something in the bloodstream that can remove them from the body.

The two “natural” chemicals that do this are vitamin C and Glutathione.  There are also various chemicals called “chelators” that “grab” onto all minerals, and render them water soluble, thus excreting them via kidney and urine.   (Vitamin C and Glutathione are not exactly chelation chemicals, as they metabolize minerals, but the act the same way.)

Here’s another source if inaccuracy.  All the minerals present are measured.  This includes the minerals necessary for good health,  (Calcium, magnesium, iron, etc).
The toxic minerals are then measured against these “average levels” of nutritional minerals.  This means that if no, or very little vitamin C or Glutathione is present in the blood, no, or very little toxic minerals are released, and measured as a ratio with the normal (averaged) minerals, may show up as very low, and not toxic on the chart.

In particular, this inaccuracy is a huge factor in autism cases.  Let’s look at a hypothetical case of an infant from a mother with a less than toxic amount of mercury.
In the hospital or shortly afterwards, he gets a series of vaccines that use mercury as a preservative.  He already has a near toxic level of mercury stored in his liver, and this (huge to a small body) increase overloads his liver.The excess minerals are able to pass the brain blood barrier, and kill brain cells.  

Now it takes time for the liver to move some of the toxic mercury from the liver to other storage areas, and in this interim, the mercury is poisoning the brain.  Eventually, this movement is done, and all the toxins are stored and out of the bloodstream.  

Measure the blood at this time with any of the three methods above (perhaps months later), and the “apparent” level of mercury is well below the toxic level.  Autistic children are very short in Glutathione, and there isn’t enough vitamin C in most children to even begin to remove the amounts of mercury stored.  (The RDA of 75 mg will prevent scurvy, but is not even close for good health.)

Big Pharma knows all this.  Very few MD’s do.  Big Pharma is using blood and urine testing to “prove” that these kids autism wasn’t caused by the mercury.  Big Pharma is an expert at this type of lie and spin - witness their drug advertising.         

From the above facts, it is possible to get a much more accurate measure from any of the three analysis methods above.It’s simple to pre-load a person prior to testing with vitamin C.  For a few days prior to either the blood or urine testing, and for a month prior to the hair testing.  This allows the liver to release any toxic minerals from  storage into the bloodstream where they are neutralized by the vitamin C into a water soluble combination that is then filtered out by the kidneys and expelled.  (The hair and fingernail cells also accumulate minerals from the blood stream in the ration that they appear in the bloodstream.)

Why Vitamin C?  It’s relatively cheap; It’s very safe to use even in very high doses most chelators are expensive, and Glutathione is difficult to get into the bloodstream for any amount of time.

In my former practice (80’s & 90’s) I helped many schizophrenics cure themselves using only vitamin C.I usually recommended 10,000 mg (10 grams per day in split doses for adults.  They were on this amount for perhaps a year, but after a week or so, they became free of the major symptoms.  The vitamin C “neutralizes the toxic action of minerals as well as taking it out of the body!

The amount in the RDA is ridiculous at best.  75 mg - Bah humbug!  Talk to a zoo vet and you’ll find that the RDA for a 150 pound ape is 4000 mg per day.  Humans and apes are exactly alike in basic metabolism and vitamin C need.  I’ve been taking 4000mg for many years, and I do not get infections from bacteria or viruses.  

The other good thing about vitamin C is that you can’t get into harm using it.  Take too much, and you only get diarrhea.  Even in infants and small children.  For infants under 20 pounds, I’d use 250 mg twice a day.        

There are several chelation materials used today.  Chelate means to “grab onto”.  The MD “standard” is EDTA.  This chemical is put in intravenously.  It’s expensive in “doctor” time.There’s a new chelator called Zeolite, but it’s more expensive than plain old vitamin C.   

Excess copper, particularly in women on the “pill” may cause schizophrenia, mercury can be a cause of depression.  Lead and mercury both cause brain cell death.  In order to really cure such, these toxic minerals MUST be taken out of the body.

Constipation is never a good thing to deal with. It makes a person uneasy and worried. Just imagine a balloon that’s filled with air but couldn’t burst. Several people suffer from constipation and they’ll surely attest that they are too uncomfortable with the condition. This condition likewise ranges from the mild to the severe form.

The main culprit which causes the irregular bowel movement and constipation is the narrowing of the passageway and the blockage in the colon. This is the result of the compacted undigested food and unreleased waste materials which have formed in the colon over the past years. Studies also reveal that colon cancer can be brought about by certain unhealthy eating habits and irregular bowel movement.

As time passes, this buildup turns into toxins that aggravate the potential development of diseases inside the body.

The best colon cleanse pills are prescribed by many health specialists as they are known to help in the regulation of the bowel movement. They are similarly recognized to provide relief to the pains caused by constipation.

Medical companies manufacture a variety of pills and they differ according to their compositions. One is made of higher chemical content while the other is composed of herbal compounds. The pills which are made up of higher amount of chemicals artificially promote easier digestion and waste elimination.

Meanwhile, some studies reveal the downside of the use of the pills with high chemical content. According to them, the body would fail to comply with the natural way to pass the feces. As a major concern, they advice that the best colon cleanse pills to use are those which are comprised of the natural herbal components.

They contain organic laxatives and the soluble and insoluble fibers which are principally needed in the bowel movement.

Furthermore, the herbal component in the best colon cleanse pills improve the condition of those who suffer from gas, cramps, bloating, infections, and many other unwanted conditions brought about by constipation.

The faith that someone can cure himself from his mind power is called homeopathy. Homeopathy is an solution of remedy that sometimes works to recover some health condition. It generallly works because of belief that can heal ourselves with fluids that can affect the condition which we desire to be cure from. The emasculation is to be shaken to eradicate any negative effects that may come with the fluid.

Some homeopathic ways have many ingredients. Therefore, the overall result tends to be a mix of sugar, water, and alcohol along with several other ingredients.

Lots of people actually follow this form of choice way in spite of lots of criticisms. In both United States of America and Europe, homeopathy is very popular.It’s believed that there are about 15% of people who practice this in both countries.In actual fact, researchers and other extensive studies have yielded that there is actually no harm that comes from homeopathy. This may be because of the dilutions that are done to the numerous herbs used for the methods.

Important Things to Consider

Homeopathic medication depends on the results of the consultation of the patient with the specialists in homeopathy. Both the physical and mental conditions of the patient must be explored and considered to be able to accomplish a decisive form of treatment.

Despite the many studies that have been focused on homeopathy, researchers and scientists have found no definitive results that support the efficiency of homeopathy. However, it means that homeopathy is not a fake, since many people also swear by it and how it has cured and treated them. 

Brief Background

Homeopathy was firstly conceptualized by Samuel Hahnemann throughout the 1800’s. Hahnemann was inspired by the law of similars when he used herbal medicine in order to recover malaria and instead found that he suffered from symptoms of malaria. This began his painstaking labors in homeopathy by testing the various alternative herbal medicines for many different diseases and ailments.

The concept of liquefying the herbs and other forms of alternative medicines was to reduce the results which can be compared to vaccination where the weakened type of the sickness or disease is injected into an individual to promote resistance.

Homeopathy may be applied as a form of possible therapeutictechnique by lots of people. Some of them believed its power to recover several illnesses. For around decades, there may be several truth which can prove it.

Still curious about homeopathy? Want to find suggestion about homeopathy? So, let’s check this profitable reference of homeopathy.
