Nature cure of diseases

(NaturalNews) Mainstream medicine believes that virtually all illness is caused by germs or genetic hereditary weakness, as well as deformities and trauma injuries. Their solution and strategy is to have us believe that there are over 10,000 different diseases and that each of these diseases requires outside intervention from drugs and surgery. The truth is that most illness is due to cellular malfunction caused by cellular toxicities and cellular malnutrition, both of which can be avoided and overcome naturally.

It was Louis Pasteur, the so-called "father of modern germ theory" so widely revered by mainstream medicine, who was largely responsible for germ theory being a primary precept of today`s medical practice. Few people are aware of the controversy which surrounded Pasteur in his early days or of the work of a more esteemed contemporary whose works Pasteur plagiarized and distorted. That contemporary was fellow French Academy of Sciences member Antoine Bechamp, one of France`s most prominent and active researchers and biologists whose theories and research results stood in stark opposition to Pasteur`s germ theory.

Pasteur essentially dug up the germ theory of disease and put his name on it. It wasn`t a new idea. The concept, which theorizes that many diseases are caused by germs, had actually been outlined by other people many years before. Pasteur nevertheless claimed to have "discovered" germs. Bechamp, on the other hand, proved through original research that most diseases are the result of diseased tissue and that bacteria and viruses are largely after-effects instead of causes of disease.

Antoine Bechamp was able to scientifically prove that germs are the chemical by-products and constituents of pleomorphic microorganisms enacting upon the unbalanced, malfunctioning cell metabolism and dead tissue that actually produces disease. Bechamp found that the diseased, acidic, low-oxygen cellular environment is created by a toxic/nutrient deficient diet, toxic emotions, and a toxic lifestyle. His findings demonstrate how cancer develops through the morbid changes of germs to bacteria, bacteria to viruses, viruses to fungal forms and fungal forms to cancer cells.

After some initial controversy, Pasteur`s germ theory ended up winning the day with mainstream medicine - owing in large part to the fact that the theory enabled mainstream medicine to hugely profit from the patented drugs and treatments for fighting germs. After all, had Bechamp`s discoveries been incorporated into current medical curriculum, it would likely have meant a virtual elimination of disease and the end of the pharmaceutical industry.

The germ theory of medicine stands in stark contrast to thousands of years of man looking to nature to nourish and heal it, dating back to ancient Chinese medicine which treated the whole body instead of the symptoms of illness. As Hippocrates, "the father of medicine" observed 2400 years ago, "Nature is the physician of man." Hippocrates also advised, "Leave your drugs in the chemist`s pots if you can cure your patient with food."

Though mainstream medicine might have us believe otherwise, the simple truth is that no one ever became ill due to a deficiency in pharmaceutical drugs. Lack of nutrition combined with exposure to toxins is what causes us to become ill.

Someday, germ theory and unnatural drugs will be relegated to the science junk pile where they belong and man will re-discover the value of eating a nutrient-dense organic diet, avoiding toxins and nutritional deficiencies and living a healthy lifestyle. When that happens, the words of Thomas Edison may prove to be a welcome prophesy:

"The doctor of the future will give no medicine but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame, in diet and in the cause and prevention of disease."

Natural cures against insects bites

(NaturalNews) Insect bites can be painful and itchy. It's hard to find something to put on them to relieve the discomfort. But there are common things you may have lying around in your home that can help. Let's look at some everyday items that you can grab the next time you're bit or stung by an insect.

If you get stung make a paste using a teaspoon of baking soda and a little bit of water. Put the paste on the sting (after you've removed the stinger) and let it sit for 15-20 minutes. The alkalinity in the baking soda paste will help to neutralize the acid of the sting. This remedy is also great to use on pets.

The next time you get stung by a bee or bit by a bug reach for a papaya, banana, or a pineapple. All three contain enzymes that break down the protein toxins that cause pain and swelling. Just cut open the fruit and rub it on the sore area.

Olive oil isn't just for cooking. It's also found to have anti-inflammatory and pain relief powers similar to those in ibuprofen. Put a little on a cotton ball and rub on the insect bite. And while you're rummaging around in your pantry reach for the vinegar. Vinegar is great for bug bites because it lowers the PH level of the skin. This will help lessen the venom's toxicity. Researchers at the University of Philadelphia say to pour a little vinegar on the affected area as quickly as possible; this will relieve the pain and stop it from getting any worse.

And lastly you can try the good ole stand by - ice. Put a small bag of ice or frozen vegetables on the bug bite. This will decrease the blood flow in that area which will prevent the venom from spreading. Plus it eases the itch by numbing the skin.

The next time you get stung by a bee or bit by an insect try one of the above tips. They might just work better than those products you buy at the store that claim to relieve bug bites but never seem to work like we need them to.
