Filed under: Conventional Medicine, Pharmaceuticals — Andrew @ 11:58 am

By Brianna L. Ladapo

Antibiotic drugs are widely cited as the most important medical invention of this century. For the past several decades, they have revolutionized the interventional abilities of Western physicians, transforming bacterial infections like pneumonia and meningitis from life-threatening illnesses into easily treatable conditions.

For the last several years, livestock producers have routinely used antibiotics not just for sick animals, but prophylactically, to compensate for overcrowded, unhygienic living conditions on their poultry, swine, and cattle farms.

Conveniently it sits on a rack or shelf. Taking up little space and yet it can add a great punch to our lives. Spices, the stuff that spurred on the spice trade by ship many years ago. It still holds its stand within our kitchens. Cayenne pepper is one of many gloriously famous spices that should be stored away from direct sunlight, in a cool dry place within a sealable container. Cayenne pepper can be enjoyed by bringing a hot flavouring to anything! It gives a kick to a meal or even a cocktail drink.

Energetic Pathways to the Soul

Filed under: Acupuncture, Alternative Medicine — Andrew @ 1:03 pm

by Warren L. Cargal, L. Ac.

The integration of Body, Mind and Spirit has been a central part of Acupuncture since the sixth century AD. During this period, the Su – wen, the earliest treatise on acupuncture, classified acupuncture according to three levels. The lowest corresponds to Earth and works on the body to heal physical disease; the middle corresponds to man and works on the mind and emotions by nourishing psycho-emotional reactions; while the highest level corresponds to heaven and works on the spirit by nourishing ming.

Herbal Medicine Is People’s Medicine

Filed under: Alternative Medicine, Herbal Medicine — Andrew @ 12:32 pm

By 2007 Susun S Weed

Herbal medicine is people’s medicine. Herbal medicine is the primary medicine of most people on this planet, right now. It’s not something old and dusty. It’s not a bunch of doctors and chemists figuring out how to use herbs like drugs. Herbal medicine is a 3-year-old picking plantain and putting it on a skinned knee or an insect bite. Herbal medicine is the medicine of women and children. It is the medicine of the earth. It’s medicine that’s free. It’s not something that must be studied before it can help you. Start with one plant. Approach herbal medicine directly, hands on, in the back yard with your children.

When you travel to a third world country, you are warned about the water, the food, the undesirable element of the population, even terrorism, but no mention was made of the horrendous result of a single mosquito bite.

Filed under: Healthy Living — Andrew @ 1:34 pm

Research has shown that breast-fed babies enjoy health advantages such as fewer digestive problems, colic, reflux, gas, intestinal infections, allergies and skin diseases. The babies are also at less risk of developing high blood pressure, obesity and diabetes. A study suggested they are smarter than formula-fed babies as well. That is why men should get involved with their wife, girlfriend, or family members to help with breastfeeding cores. The breast-fed babies are probably better at sports too. Although there is no current study supporting this sports theory, maybe someone can add this study their next thesis?
