Have you ever wondered why pharmaceuticals don't work? By that, I mean that they don't make people healthier. Sure, some pharmaceuticals can modify a measurable chemical marker, but they don't make people healthier . We have 40 percent of the U.S. population on at least one prescription drug, yet our nation shows skyrocketing rates of all sorts of chronic diseases, like cancer, heart disease, type 2 diabetes, Alzheimer's disease and osteoporosis. If pharmaceuticals work to make people healthier, we should be the healthiest nation on the planet. We have people here taking more drugs than any other nation in the world. The older you get in this society, the more drugs you end up taking. Many of our senior citizens are on a dozen prescriptions a day, and half of those are usually prescribed to cover up symptoms and side effects from the first few prescriptions.  Why ...

Great article. I used to drink a ton of Coke and Pepsi with seemingly no side effects, or so I thought. Now, just drinking as little as one 20 oz bottle will give me all sorts of aches and pains, headaches, and restlessness. All I have to do to get rid of the pain is stop drinking it. Worth the time to read this article. Maybe, just maybe the source of YOUR pain is caffeine. Try and not drink any for a day or two and see if you notice any difference. I noticed my pain going away in one day. I can drink one small cup of coffee in the morning, but the Caffeinated Sodas really make me feel horrible. http://bodytechnician.com/caffeine.html

Centrifugal juicers are more commonplace, and in general, more affordable. They typically have an upright design in which food is pushed into a rapidly spinning mesh chamber with sharp teeth on its floor. The teeth shred the food into a pulp, and the centrifugal motion pulls the juice out of the pulp and through the mesh filter, where it is funneled out of the juicer via a spigot. In most centrifugal juicers, the pulp, once most of the juice has been pulled out, is ejected into a separate collection chamber. Centrifugal juicers work best with soft and hard fruits and vegetables, but not quite as well with leafy greens like kale or spinach, or with wheatgrass.    Masticating juicers ,   meanwhile, typically have a horizontal design in which a tube containing the auger extends out of the motorized base. Pieces of fruits and vegetables are pushed into the top of the tube, and they are crushed and squeezed by the auger. Juice drains out of the underside of the ...

Shingles can be really painful. They are characterized as viral infections that can lead to rash with blisters. Shingles can occur anywhere on the body and usually in children or young adults. Most of the time shingles appear on the right or left side of your torso as a single stripe. The main cause for shingles is the varicella-zoster virus. It is the same virus that causes chickenpox, but doesn’t necessarily appear the same time as the original infection. It can happen decades after that. If you’ve had chickenpox, most likely you still have the virus. It lies inactive in your body and may be reactivated as shingles. Can shingles kill you? Fortunately shingles are not life-threatening, but they can cause a lot of pain and discomfort. The first time is always the most painful. The risk can be reduced with a vaccine, but it is best to treat it naturally in the early stages. Natural Treatment Appropriate treatment can lead to a short-lived outbreak. Just like norm...

With its  pink, rose-like color, Himalayan salt is visually distinctive and known for its  nutritional profile as it contains a high number of essential minerals. Himalayan salt is considered healthier than table salt because it does not contain any additives or chemicals, and is a naturally occurring substance. Sea Salt and Detoxification Himalayan salt has been used to help detoxify the body in the form of a brine treatment. Most commonly done in the form of a bath, brine baths purport to detoxify the body through osmosis. As the sodium binds the water to the outer layer of your skin, moisture is preserved. Toxins are released from your body, while your skin absorbs the healthy minerals from the sodium into your body. It is recommended that the brine bath be as close as possible to normal body temperature, around 97 degrees Fahrenheit, and that you use 2.2 lbs. of Himalayan salt for approximately every 26 to 32 gallons of water. So...

Calming Your Life & Tinnitus with Magnesium by Barry Keate M agnesium may be the most commonly deficient mineral in human nutrition. It is known as a calming or anti-stress mineral and is very important to many human functions. Magnesium is a mineral needed by every cell of the body. About half of the body’s stores are found inside cells of body tissues and organs, and half are combined with calcium and phosphorus in bone. Only 1 percent of the magnesium in the body is found in the blood. The body works very hard to keep blood levels of magnesium constant. Because the body easily eliminates excess magnesium, toxicity is nearly unknown, although an excess can cause loose stools or diarrhea. Deficiency is quite common and can lead to muscle cramps, fatigue, irritability, and insomnia. The key body functions of magnesium are: Relaxes the muscles, including the heart; Works in concert with enzymes to carry out metabolic...

Why Do We Need Supplements? Here are some reasons why it is important  to take natural, whole food supplements: 1.  Depleted Soils . Even if you eat a healthy, mainly plant-based diet with lots of fruit and vegetables, chances are good that the food comes from soils that have insufficient mineral content. The best thing to do is to buy Organic whenever possible. 2. Overcooking Our Foods . We have a bad habit of cooking our foods to death, therefore cooking out all the vital vitamins and minerals our bodies need. 3.  Normal Aging Equals Digestion Issues . As we get older we produce fewer Enzymes that are necessary for proper digestion. Eventually, this leads to Heartburn, Acid Reflux, and numerous other Stomach issues.  4. Lots of Stress in our lives:   All of this stress takes a toll on your body and weakens your immune system. Taking supplements can help to bridge that gap and give your body some of the nutrition it needs to function optimall...
