Alternative Medicine - A Serious Look

without comments

Most people who have not tried alternative medicine think it is just a scam. That it does not work, that there are no studies to back up those claims.

The lure even defies what western media has long maintained as unproven and unbacked by medical studies the claims of those who swear by the efficacy of alternative medicine.

It appears such media backlash is heavy only in the western hemisphere. These areas fall under the sphere of influence of conglomerates such as big pharmaceutical companies. Areas where lobby groups and corporate influence on media is a fact of life.

Alternative medicine is letting nature handle the problem the natural way through plants, natural techniques and body based healing.

Alternative medicine in the eyes of modern medicine, is a non-conventional approach to healing as it involves practices that are generally not acknowledged by the modern medical field.

Here is a hint - look at the sponsors. Those TV shows, the tabloids, dailies, radio shows, etc. These are most likely the people who have a rein as to what is ferreted out to the public and what needs to be covered in the name of their interests.

Aside from being cheap, people turn to alternative medicine because they work as proven by their efficacy over a long period of historical use. The top three reasons why many people turn to natural remedies are:

1. Fewer side effects

2. They are cheaper

3. They are effective

3. It is a personal method of healing.

Let as have a look at these other advantages:

For so many who relied on conventional medicine and were disappointed, they found hope in alternative medicine. Cancer patients are now relying on natural methods and combining them with conventional therapy.

2. No secret recipes

2. They are mostly cheap and affordable. Prices are not controlled by a cartel of pharmaceutical companies.

4. Billions of people use them.

3. Environment-friendly processes.

6. Seeks to restore natural health instead of just focusing on illness.

6. Alternative medicine follows the course of nature - where nature heals itself.

Going natural is said to be personal approach to healing. Alternative medicine seeks to reestablish how you were when you were healthy.

There is a reason why many companies are threatened by Alternative Medicine - it is because they work and these companies do not want you to know that. Choose what is best for you and your family. Go natural,go alternative medicine it is the way history and nature intended it to be.

How Safe is the Food You Eat?

without comments

When you buy fresh vegetables and fruits at the grocery store those items look great. We think they are clean and ready to use with just a rinse of water. But with news stories of critical illnesses caused by contaminated foods, how safe are the foods we buy?

Where did this tainted food come from? We cannot blame the foreign growers, not when we hear about recalls of spinach from California. There are a lot of variables in growing fruits and vegetables, and it is not always easy to control the environment.

One study conducted at the University of the Netherlands explored the many phases of the growing and transporting cycle for fresh fruits and vegetables. It was noted that there are many times in this cycle that foods could be contaminated or spoiled.

Pathogens can be found in fruits and vegetables. Microbes can group themselves into tightly knit formations called biofilms that coat fruits and vegetables and protect the bacteria from harm. This kind of bacterial community can harbor multiple versions of infectious, disease-causing bacteria, such as Salmonella and E. coli.

Another possible cause for concern is the residue left on produce by repeated use of pesticides. While those pesticides can increase crop production by reducing pests, the continued intake of even traces of these chemicals can never be considered healthy.

Mycotoxin is a toxin in the fungus family. Due to their microscopically small spores,fungi are found nearly everywhere in small quantities. They feed off organic matter when the conditions are right. In too great a quantity mycotoxin poisoning can take place. This overdose can come through direct consumption or by feeding contaminated feed to livestock.

What can we do to assure that our fresh produce is safe to feed our families? One discovery I have made is miracle mineral solution, or MMS. The cost is low, and one bottle can last for months or even years. MMS is a 28 percent solution of sodium chlorite. When it is mixed with a citric acid, food based, it becomes chlorine dioxide. Did you know that chlorine dioxide has been used for over 70 years for water purification?

You can mix a small quantity of MMS and place it in a sprayer bottle with water. Spray it on your food and it will target the pathogens on your produce. Foods can also be soaked in a solution, adding an additional cleansing to assure that your foods are as clean as possible. When the chlorine dioxide is done it changes to salts and water. Using chlorine dioxide, as a last-step in food prep is simple, safe and effective.

I know that the health and wellness of your family is important to you. Miracle Mineral Solution gives us a choice that can lead to a healthier happier environment.
