Pathways to Subtle Pain Relief

without comments

These days it is commonplace to have aches and pains. Pain is a natural response to over use of our muscles. But what about the pain that does not go away, no matter what you do. Many of us are sufferers of chronic subtle pain, and a great deal of our energy is consumed in trying to block it out.

What causes this low grade pain, and how do we get rid of it? This is a billion dollar question, and believe me we have every player in this game ranging from drug companies, practitioners, and food manufacturers to subtle energy practitioners.

There are many programs available these days for the treatment of chronic pain conditions. Traditional therapies include physical therapy, occupational therapy and medications. Holistic program include acupuncture, yoga, nutritional changes, and breathing exercises.

In a study conducted at the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, a team of health care professionals treated chronic low back pain using naturopathic practices. The treatment included deep breathing exercises, acupuncture, and dietary supplementation such as omega 3 fatty acids, calcium, and magnesium.(1)

Half the group was treated with conventional physiotherapy methods and half with naturopathic methods. What they found in this treatment of chronic low back pain is that those treated with naturopathic methods had a greater reduction in pain than those treated by the conventional physical therapy modalities.

When we delve into the nutritional value of minerals such as magnesium, we find that there are over 300 body functions that are dependent on magnesium. Unfortunately half of our population is deficient in magnesium. Low magnesium levels can lead to many health issues, such as muscle cramps and chronic pain. (2)

There is no measure of how long it takes to create a condition such as chronic pain, and likewise there is no magic bullet that will lift us from its clutches. Perhaps if we focus on some of the more basic elements, such as diet and nutrition, we might see progress in our plea for pain release. Magnesium, for example, is easy to introduce into the body through pleasant applications such as magnesium oil or a warm, nutritional magnesium bath.

Is Healthy Living an Attainable Goal?

without comments

Most of our western culture diets are loaded with foods that promote imbalance in our bodies. The human body is designed to have a protein breaking acid balance in the stomach, but further on, in the intestinal tract, our body is meant to have an alkaline balance. This balance is important in breaking down and assimilating our foods.

Our PH is important. When we tip the scales to the acidic side we crave more of those foods that created havoc in the first place.

Did you know that the human body is host to an average of two pounds of parasitic bacteria and other host-dependent organisms? Before you cringe, hang on, some of that is the beneficial bacteria in your digestive tract that you rely on to digest your food. Now the flip side: if you eat a typical western diet you likely host some non-beneficial organisms. That can include fungi, yeast in the form of candida, even parasites. We typically acquire those host-reliant free-loaders because of an imbalance or high toxin level in our body.

Candida, a yeast overrun, is actually a knight-in-shining-armor, aiding us in dealing with the excess sugars. But Candida is also self-promoting, and that un-natural yeast overrun is demanding on our nutrients, our oxygen level, and our overall health.

What is the best way to restore the natural PH balance in the body? Eating a healthy diet is important, but we must also release those toxins and parasites as well. A good detoxification program will aid in restoring the healthy neutral PH balance and should effectively decrease those cravings for sugars and simple carbohydrates.

With better nutrition, and that includes ample clean water, the cells will say “ahhhh”, and will release the toxins carried within. Providing adequate water to your system helps flush those toxins away, through the blood and lymphatic system. Exercise such as rebounding aides in the movement and release of those toxins and parasitic matter like bacteria, parasites, and viruses.

Chronic Disease – Not so easy to Diagnose

without comments

You know something is wrong. You are tired far too often, and the pain you feel is constant. Your body temperature is off kilter as well. Is it the result of depression, or is the depression another symptom of some physical problem?

Diagnosing conditions and finding the proper treatment is not always easy. Many ailments have similar symptoms. Tests may show a rise in the body response to an infection, but cannot pinpoint the exact cause.

With all the advances we have made in our medical and research communities it seems that there should be tests and treatments that can help or cure chronic conditions. Is this wishful thinking? Yes, but realistic, too. The fact is that chronic conditions are difficult to trace.

There are many conditions with similar symptoms, and with some of these conditions, such as MS, or multiple sclerosis, the cause is not clear. How can you effectively treat a condition when you cannot identify its cause?

In addition to MS there are other autoimmune conditions or syndromes that share the same tired, aching and depressing symptoms. Each is found through the elimination process, much like MS. Weve heard the names ” fibromyalgia, lupus, chronic fatigue, and even rheumatoid arthritis.

Lyme disease is another of those multi-symptom diseases that shares symptoms with other autoimmune disorders. Lyme is known to be caused by borrelia bacteria, which is commonly transmitted by ticks, and may be more common than we think.

Now we know the challenges that are faced in diagnosing chronic autoimmune disorders. Once the diagnosis is decided the treatment may not be clear. Our traditional treatment using antibiotics has been widely overused, and now we face resistant pathogens.

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.

Miracle Mineral Solution or MMS – What is it?

without comments

Have you ever heard of miracle mineral solution? This supplement, nicknamed MMS, is a solution and protocol that when combined gives you healthy cleansing sodium chloride, a natural purifier. MMS is a low cost supplement that promotes healthy living.

Let’s look at the history of the Jim Humble protocol for Miracle Mineral Supplement. Jim discovered this protocol while on a mining expedition. Members of his team contracted malaria, a mosquito borne protozoan parasite disease that is often fatal. Jim had no malaria medication and the closest town was days away by a runner, so he tried his water purification drops — chlorine dioxide. The results were positive, and quick. Since then, over 75,000 documented cases of malaria have been treated with MMS.

So what is this solution called Miracle Mineral Supplement? It starts with a 28% solution of sodium chlorite. When combined with a specific quantity of food grade activator like citric acid it produces Chlorine Dioxide, a substance that exists in the human body for detoxification and cleansing. MMS, or miracle mineral solution does not disturb the healthy body cells, they are well protected. It does target pathogens that are harmful to our bodies.

The MMS protocol combines two simple ingredients to produce chlorine dioxide. Those ingredients are sodium chlorite in a 28% solution, and an activator. The activator is food based, usually citric acid, vinegar, or lemon juice. Chlorine dioxide is nothing new, its been used as one of the best water purifiers for over 70 years, and its use has been on grand scales, such as cleanup after the 2001 anthrax attacks that captivated our attention several years ago.

We all remember the Katrina disaster. Following the severe water damage there was a major outbreak of mold. Chlorine Dioxide, the same chemical compound found in the miracle mineral protocol, was used to fight this rampant mold outbreak.

While we cannot diagnose or prescribe anything that relates to our health and wellness, that is the job of our global health organizations, we believe it is important that the individual know what is available.

Regardless of your intended use of miracle mineral supplement, it is difficult to downsize the fact that MMS can be effectively use for emergency water treatment, first aid, and maintaining a healthy environment.
