Is There A Natural Cure for Psoriasis?

Q Please does anyone have any tips which have helped them with severe psoriasis? Not drug or medical or lotions. Thank you so much for such a balanced, comprehensive, helpful, informative, interesting site!

A I’m not a doctor and don’t prescribe, however there are a number of things you can do to clear up psoriasis in a natural way. First and foremost, diet. Poor digestion can lead to undigested proteins which can be a factor with psoriasis. Eliminating excessive animal products, processed foods, junk food, etc. will help clear the body so it can heal itself. A high raw food diet with green juices and or green smoothies would be great.

Depending on your situation you may need to support your digestion with some digestive enzymes, and systemic enzymes taken between meals may be of use as well. Depending on your age you could have low stomach acid and might need to supplement with HCL.

Eating dark leafy greens, even those that are bitter like dandelion will help cleanse the liver which is very important in dealing with any health issue.

Getting plenty of sunshine is also important as vitamin D can help with this condition. You may have to supplement with vitamin D3 if you can’t get enough or don’t convert from sunshine.

A wide variety of nutrients are needed to support any healthy body and in particular for psoriasis, glutathione a master antioxidant seems to be very important. An intake of the mineral selenium, found in Brazil nuts will help provide the building block for glutathione production.

And as you probably already know stress can lead to outbreaks. Lowering your overall stress is good for general health and particularly for those who suffer with psoriasis.

Take a look at these Raw Food Recipes and see what you can work into your diet.

A topical application of coconut oil may also be of use.

I suggest you take this information to your Natural health care provider and see what they recommend.

8 Natural Ways to Manage Parkinson’s Disease

Parkinson’s Disease is a degenerative disorder of the central nervous system resulting from the death of dopamine-containing cells. It’s believed to be caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Characteristics include tremors, muscle stiffness, poor balance and difficulty walking. Simple tasks like getting dressed in the morning can become a chore. While there is no cure, there are medications available to boost dopamine in the brain and help manage symptoms. Over time though, symptoms will stop responding to traditional drugs. It’s important to take extra measures to slow down the progression. Below are eight of the top ways to manage parkinson’s disease naturally.

Eat Healthy

It’s important to eat a whole food diet that includes fresh fruit, vegetables and organic meats and remove processed foods and grains completely (for more, check out my Healing Foods Diet). Constipation is common among Parkinson’s patients, so be sure to eat plenty of fiber and stay adequately hydrated. Increasing omega-3 intake can help elevate dopamine levels and reduce inflammation.

Drink Green Tea

Green tea contains polyphenol antioxidants that help fight free radicals. It also contains theanine, which elevates dopamine levels in the brain. Try drinking three cups a day to reap the most benefits.

Move With Caution

Parkinson’s can throw off your sense of balance and make it difficult to walk with a normal gait. Try not to move too quickly. When you’re walking, try to make sure your heel hits the floor first. If you find yourself shuffling, stop and adjust your posture. Look straight ahead as you walk, not down at the ground. When turning around, resist the tendency to pivot at your feet. Instead, make a U-turn. Try to avoid leaning or reaching and keep your center of gravity over your feet.

Prevent Stiff Muscles

Gentle exercise and stretching make everyday tasks easier. Here’s a simple four-step sequence you can do daily to keep your muscles loose:

1. Stand eight inches away from a wall and reach your arms upward. Place your hands on the wall for balance and stretch out the arms and back.

2. Next, turn around and place your back against the wall for balance. Gently march in place, lifting your knees as high as possible.

3. Sitting in a chair, reach your arms behind the chair, bringing your shoulders back as far as possible. Lift your head toward the ceiling as you stretch.

4. From the chair, stomp your feet up and down while pumping your arms back and forth at your sides.

Tai Chi

Tai Chi is the Chinese martial art of slow, rhythmic movement. It’s great for maintaining strength and balance. Long recommended as a way for seniors to stay active and fit, research is now suggesting it can help manage Parkinson’s symptoms. An hour of Tai Chi twice a week is enough to help with stability and walking.

Water Aerobics

Balance problems and stiffness can make traditional exercises difficult. Water aerobics can have the same benefits as conventional exercise without the risk of falling. Be sure to use the shallow end of the pool. Joining a group class might be beneficial for emotional support and additional motivation.

Acupuncture

Eastern medicine can often be looked down upon in the West, but some scientists argue it’s worth a closer look. Research has shown acupuncture can relieve symptoms by generating a neural response in areas of the brain that are particularly affected by Parkinson’s such as the putamen and the thalamus.

Coenzyme Q10

Mitochondria are responsible for the production of energy for our cells. During production, a by-product of spare electrons is created. When these electrons escape the cell, they are known as free radicals. They are responsible for oxidative damage to the brain. To combat the damage, every cell of the body contains a powerful antioxidant called Coenzyme Q10. Studies have show very low levels of Coenzyme Q10 in the brain and blood of Parkinson’s patients, which is why a supplement might be helpful. I recommend Coenzyme Q10 by Garden of Life.

6 Natural Cures For Cellulite

I’ve written before about getting rid of cellulite, but I wanted to share some more ways women everywhere can fight it naturally, without surgery or invasive treatment. Now, it’s important to not compare yourself to the photoshopped models on the magazine covers, or to go to unhealthy lengths to lose weight. Like the old saying goes: Comparison is the thief of joy.

There is so much wrong and misleading information out there, that I wanted to shed some more light on the subject. The good news is that there are several all-natural things that can be done to fight the cellulite monster.

You should have an understanding of what exactly is cellulite. Basically, when you have globules of fat under the skin pushing up against the connective tissue, you have this uneven, “mottled” skin appearance. Some of the things that contribute to this condition are a lack of exercise, Hormones, and diet.

1. Cut Down On Salt & Sugar: Please don’t think that your diet has no affect on your cellulite, because it will. And here’s why: Sugar is stored in fat cells, and causes them to expand, so read labels and make certain to reduce and remove sugar intake. Limit your sodium intake, because salt causes water retention, making things even worse. Stick to my healing foods diet for best results.

2. Flaxseed Anyone?: Flaxseed is great, as it modulates estrogen levels, and can increase collagen production. Connective tissue is comprised of collagen, and when the skin is strong, cellulite appearance is diminished. You can sprinkle Flaxseed on your breakfast, in your smoothies, or simply eat the seeds by themselves.

3. Is Water Really Important: Yes! It is. Water helps flush out toxic compounds from your body. These fatty globules under the skin harbor toxins, and make the cellulite more visible. Clean them out by drinking eight to ten glasses of fresh water daily. Well hydrated skin will look more even, with less of a lumpy look.

4. What’s With Kelp? Kelp is one of those things that most people are not aware of. Kelp has many benefits, and is a very low cost nutrient. It contains a compound called “fucoxanthin”, which is found in chlorophyll bearing green plants. It has the ability to help the body burn fat, thus reducing the appearance of cellulite. Add Kelp to your diet protocol. Sprinkle it on your meals, or add it to your soups. If you prefer a supplement version, check out FucoThin by Garden of Life.

5. Ever Hear Of Gotu Kola? This extract has been the subject of many cellulite studies, and has shown some good results. This is a caffeine-free herb that has relaxing properties, and can be taken before bedtime. What it can do is improve the elasticity of the skin, while making it thicker at the same time. It will help minimize the appearance of the cellulite bumps.

6. Bromelain & Proteolytic Enzymes: Systemic Enzymes have been used with great success in fighting not only inflammation but in dissolving gatherings of cellular tissue. Uterine Fibroids, Ovarian Cysts, Gall Stones and cellulite can all be broken down and eliminated by the body. Enzymes such as Bromelain, Serrapeptase and Nattokinase have the ability to dissolve fibrinogen, which is the tissue that holds these unwanted formations together.

Interval or burst type of exercises can also help fight cellulite. I just finished the BurstFIT DVD’s series, and it will be available in just a few weeks! One of the sessions features a good friend of mine, Suzanne Bowen, and is called The Bowen Butt Lift. It’s a super targeted workout, designed to do just what the title says! If you’d like more info, and a special offer when Burstfit is available, you can sign up here.

As you can see, there are several things you can do to win the battle against the dreaded cellulite. The best approach is a combination of methods. Treat from within the body, while also adding in burst type exercises, and you might just be surprised at the great results!

Ageless Male Is All Natural Risk-Free Testosterone Supplement

Testosterone is known to have anabolic as well as androgenic physiological effect on males.  Its anabolic effects may include the growth of muscle mass and strength, an increase in bone density and strength and the stimulation of the linear growth and bone maturation.  A mature man having not achieved these at the right age may well resort to taking in some natural supplement like the Ageless Male. The androgenic effects of this hormone covers maturation of the sex organs, particularly the male organ and the formation of the scrotum during the embryonic stage; and at puberty, the deepening of the voice, the growth of beards and auxiliary hair and the development of male’s secondary sex characteristics. Late developments of these male features may well be addressed by Ageless Male.As testosterone levels decline gradually with age in human beings, the normal development of sperm may be affected which calls for a regimen of the Ageless Male.  This supplement that could be purchased over the counter could raise the testosterone level to a certain degree that is more beneficial. It should be noted also that men whose testosterone levels are slightly above average are less likely to have high blood pressure, less likely to experience a heart attack, less likely to be obese, and less likely to rate their own health as fair or poor. Testosterone supplementation is often promoted as a natural means to being able to improve the levels of testosterone on the body. Having less of it as a male gets older, his libido can also be reduced; making it harder for him from enjoying social activities which eventually can be linked to depression. It could also cause a male to have less energy overall than he had before. However, with Ageless Male, everything can be restored back to normal. Athletes make use of the same supplement to maintain tone and energetic bodies. Nevertheless, abuse of the supplement should be avoided because having high testosterone men are more likely to report one or more injuries, more likely to consume five or more alcoholic drinks in a day, more likely to have had a sexually transmitted infection, and more likely to smoke. This won’t happen if the right kind of testosterone supplement, that is, the Ageless Male, is used.Replacement therapy can take the form of injectable depots, transdermal patches and gels, subcutaneous pellets, and oral therapy. Be aware also of the adverse effects of testosterone supplementation such as acne and oily skin, and more significant other complications such exacerbation of sleep apnea and acceleration of pre-existing prostate cancer growth in individuals who have undergone androgen deprivation. Another adverse effect may be significant hair loss and/or thinning of the hair. It is recommended that physicians do the required screening for certain conditions before starting the therapy. All these may be prevented with Ageless Male.Fortunately, without any fear, Ageless Male will not have these kinds of side effects.
