9 herbs to fight Candida

(NaturalNews) Whether you are battling full-blown candida overgrowth or simply want to prevent future infections from occurring, herbs are a powerful tool for naturally keeping candida at bay. Here`s a list of nine highly effective herbal remedies for candida:

#1 Oregano Oil

The phenols in oregano oil are highly concentrated and extremely effective in fighting bacterial infections, fungal infections and candida overgrowth. Wild organic oregano oil is known to be especially effective in fighting conditions like candida.

#2 Olive Leaf Extract

The oleuropein in olive leaf extract is used by the body to fight fungal infections caused by candida overgrowth. A high-potency standardized olive leaf extract can obliterate candida quite effectively.

#3 Pau D`Arco

Another popular anti-candida herb, Pau D`Arco is often brewed into a tea. Drinking one cup per day is an easy way to harness its antifungal properties.

#4 Garlic

Garlic is a powerful antibacterial and antifungal agent. Candida cannot survive when garlic is present, so consistency is the key. Garlic can simply be added to your normal meals, but most find it more convenient (and less odorous) to take standardized garlic capsules three times per day.

#5 Neem

Used extensively in Ayurvedic medicine, neem is known for stimulating the immune system and fighting infections and fungal overgrowth. It is also a potent detoxifier. Neem oil can also be applied topically as needed.

#6 Apple Cider Vinegar

Not quite an herb (but too effective to leave off this list), apple cider vinegar balances the pH level of your body and can prevent harmful pathogens like candida from growing out of control. A teaspoon to a tablespoon taken before each meal can aid digestion and prevent undigested food particles from feeding candida in the gut.

#7 Echinacea

Although echinacea is best known for stopping a cold in its tracks, this herb also provides anti-candida benefits. It supports your immune system in the fight against candida as well as other infections.

#8 Black Walnut

Black walnut is a natural herb which contains tannins that not only kill fungal overgrowth like candida, but also kill parasites. It may be especially useful for those who suffer from both candida overgrowth and a parasitical infection.

#9 Coconut Oil

Also not an herb, but coconut oil`s anti-candida properties are too powerful to ignore. The medium chain fatty acids that make coconut oil such a great energy source are also what fuel its ability to fight candida. Fatty acids like caprylic acid and lauric acid are potent antifungal agents. Work up to taking three tablespoons of coconut oil per day to harness its anti-candida power.

Note: Avoid jumping into any anti-candida regimen too quickly. Killing off candida too fast can produce a die-off reaction that includes symptoms like foggy thinking, headaches and chills. For some this can be quite uncomfortable. If you notice these symptoms, cut back on your dose and start again more slowly when symptoms subside.

Chronic pain and psychological stress

(NaturalNews) The medical community has been criticized for failing to accurately and effectively diagnose and treat chronic pain. Many patients suffering from chronic pain conditions have not received desired relief from mainstream medicine. Based on the theory that some chronic pain disorders are instigated by repressed anger, Dr John E. Sarno, M.D. has pioneered a successful--but not widely accepted--treatment for a group of chronic pain disorders classified as "Tension Myositis Syndrome". Dr. Sarno is Professor of Clinical Rehabilitation Medicine, New York University School of Medicine, and attending physician at the Howard A. Rusk Institute of Rehabilitation Medicine, New York University Medical Center.

Dr. Sarno has coined the diagnostic term "Tension Myositis Syndrome" (TMS) for some chronic pain disorders with a psychosomatic basis and has demonstrated positive outcomes in the treatment of the condition. TMS is frequently manifested as chronic back pain. According to Dr. Sarno, TMS and other chronic pain disorders including repetitive stress injury (RSI) and fibromyalgia are born of the brain`s response to unconscious, repressed emotions. It is the awareness of the role of these unconscious conflicts upon the pain which his treatment is aimed, and according to Dr Sarno, "Lectures now represent the cornerstone of the therapeutic program and appear to be all that is necessary for 80 to 90 percent of those who go on to complete recovery."

Dr. Sarno`s concepts derive from Freud`s clinical observations and theories: "My developing ideas were the consequence of clinical observations; they were not based on preconceived notions about the mindbody connection. As with Freud`s patients, I found that my patients` physical symptoms were the direct result of strong feelings repressed in the unconscious." Dr. Sarno educates patients that TMS is an avoidance strategy, which fulfills the function of turning their attention away from frightening repressed feelings.

Dr. Sarno postulates that mild oxygen deprivation results from the brain simply altering the blood flow to a particular area in the body, causing the pain in TMS. He claims that the brain produces these pain symptoms to protect the patient from psychological trauma and turmoil and, as a distraction, to make sure internal anger does not become conscious.

Dr Sarno claims considerable success in diagnosing and treating people with TMS for over 30 years. He also states that oftentimes, simply gaining awareness that pain symptoms may be occurring to distract the person from feeling rage (which s/he would find unacceptable) will result in symptomatic relief.

The TMS Wiki (http://tmswiki.org), which was created by a group of individuals whose pain and other symptoms were helped by Dr. Sarno`s approaches, lists 92 current practitioners who utilize Dr. Sarno`s approach. While Dr. Sarno`s conceptions have not been widely embraced over the last 40 years, the mainstream may finally be coming to begin to understand the connection between emotion and stress on physical health. An article in The February 2011 edition of Scientific American "Neurostress: How Stress May Fuel Neurodegenerative Diseases" reports on formal studies linking stress to specific neurological conditions.

Healthy baths at home

(NaturalNews) Mineral and herbal baths have been used for thousands of years to relieve everything from sore muscles and joints to arthritis and much more. Today, millions of people continue to flock to bath sites and facilities throughout the world. However, one need not travel any further than their bathroom to enjoy a healing and relaxing bath. All it takes is a hot bath and a few healthy ingredients.

The salt and mineral rich Dead Sea is one of the world's earliest spas. The Roman king of Judea, Herod the Great, and Egypt's Queen Cleopatra both enjoyed the healthy benefits of the Dead Sea. Multiple studies have shown that the sea's mineral essentials are effective for psoriasis, acne, and rheumatism.

Nearly every city in the ancient Roman Empire had at least one bath, which served as centers for bathing and socializing. The hot springs in Baden-Baden, Germany, were well known to the Romans, and its waters bring relief for rheumatism, gout, paralysis, neuralgia, and skin diseases. Britain's Queen Victoria was an annual visitor during her reign.

Other civilizations which have long embraced healing baths include China, India and Native America. Archaeologists in India's ancient Indus Valley Civilization unearthed a large pool-like structure with steps at both ends. In 1541, Spanish explorer Hernando De Soto was the first European to see the "Valley of the Vapors", which is the area known today as Hot Springs, Arkansas.

The rich and famous regularly traveled by private rail car more than 100 years ago to Mount Clemens, Michigan, "America's Bath City". It offered luxury resort hotels with heated baths, which were widely known to relieve arthritis and rheumatism pain, as well as skin problems such as eczema. Thousands of polio patients were also drawn to the waters. Legend had it that people came to the city in wheelchairs and left walking under their own power. Among regular visitors to Mount Clemens baths were Henry Ford, William Randolph Hearst, Mae West, Babe Ruth, and European royalty.

Today, you need not travel to a health resort or even a local spa to enjoy the many benefits of hot mineral and herbal baths. All you need is a bath tub, hot water (generally speaking, the hotter the water the better so long as the water is not scalding) and healthy minerals, herbs, etc., either singly or in combination. Some of the most popular ingredients are:

Sea salts, especially ancient sea salts, are loaded with minerals and trace minerals.

Epsom salt relaxes sore muscles and joints and contains magnesium, an essential mineral most of us are deficient in.

Lavender and other essential oils, such as rose and juniper, fight depression and relieve tension and stress.

Baking soda helps neutralize chlorine and is good for muscles and skin.

Citric acid bonds with minerals and, combined with baking soda, makes the mineral bath effervescent.

Witch hazel is antiseptic and good for bruises and skin conditions.

Vinegar is wonderful for the skin and has numerous healing benefits.

Additionally, a number of popular Chinese ingredients are used in healing baths including:

*Water lily pads (stress)
*Oriental wild yam (stress, female problems)
*Du Zhong (knees, joints)
*Osmanthus (stress, depression)
*He Shou Wu (blood, energy, arthritis)
*Flos Lonicerae (blood cooling, heat and toxins removal, skin disease)
*Plantain (skin diseases)
*Radix ginseng (stress)

Tips:

*Keep hydrated and boost your bath benefits with an iced glass of healthy tea and/or juice at your side.
*Hot baths are very relaxing. If you have a large tub, avoid falling asleep. A spa pillow may provide some insurance.
*Where applicable, use water filters designed to remove chlorine and/or fluoride for the healthiest baths.

Obesity and starvation

(NaturalNews) Obese people are usually always hungry and no matter how much they eat their brains are registering starvation. One would think that eating too much would result in an abundance of nutritional support for cells. But being overweight and undernourished at the same time is a reality that is just beginning to be understood. It is quite strange to say to people that the more they eat, the more malnourished they are destined to be.

Overweight people more often than not suffer from gross malnutrition because the nutritional values of the basic foods available to us have been steadily dropping for the last 50 years even as toxic exposures increase. Obese people tend to eat too many processed white foods with the fiber removed along with many of the vitamins and minerals. Not enough fiber is another common problem with the obese.

Excessive calorie intake is the fast track to leptin resistance. Since it's hard to eat excess of the so-called "clean" foods, excess calories usually come from junk foods as do magnesium deficiencies.

Jennifer Welsh, a LiveScience staff writer explains that when dieters starve themselves of calories, they starve their brain cells as well. New research finds that these hungry brain cells then release "feed me" signals, which drive up hunger, slow down metabolism and thus cause diets to fail. Neurons sense nutrients in the body and tell the body when it's time to eat and time to stop eating. The point is that dieters are not just starving themselves of calories, they are starving themselves of vital minerals and this comes on top of already existing mineral deficiencies that are characteristic of overweight and obese populations.

Video: Obesity is Starvation.

Obesity is Starvation

Obese people generally have hyperinsulinemia (high levels of insulin in the blood) and insulin causes fat to be stored in fat cells. Obese people in general cannot satisfy their body's demands for energy or nutrients by eating. In this scenario, lethargy, hunger and stress are not a cause of obesity; they are the effects or results of it (due to the internal starvation). Syndrome X, also known as metabolic syndrome is a combination of insulin resistance, leptin resistance and glucose intolerance. All of these conditions are precursors to diabetes, heart disease, obesity and cancer.

Leptin and Magnesium

The new fashion in obesity is to look at the role of leptin, but what we are going to do in this essay is look not just at leptin but also at the leptin-magnesium axis that speaks volumes more than looking at either of these substances alone. High levels of leptin seem to be related to increased urinary magnesium loss in patients with type-1 diabetes.

Hypomagnesaemia and hyperleptinemia are common in patients with diabetes. Moreover, it has been demonstrated that leptin stimulates diuresis and natriuresis causing the urinary magnesium loss in type-1 diabetes. Human leptin is a protein of 167 amino acids. It is manufactured primarily in the adipocytes of white adipose tissue, and the level of circulating leptin is directly proportional to the total amount of fat in the body.

Magnesium makes dieting easier by supporting the brain's sensitivity to leptin. Magnesium's benefits go on forever it seems. Now we have to get serious and introduce it to the world of diet, weight loss and the medical science of obesity and diabetes.

Studies have shown that leptin and magnesium both play significant if not primary roles in heart disease, obesity, diabetes, osteoporosis, autoimmune diseases, reproductive disorders, and perhaps the rate of aging itself. Many chronic diseases are now linked to excess inflammation such as heart disease and diabetes. High leptin levels and low magnesium levels are extremely pro-inflammatory.

Leptin

Leptin is a hormone that triggers your sense of feeling full. A leptin deficiency can cause overeating, leading to obesity and obesity-related disease. Most people don't have a leptin deficiency -- they have lost their sensitivity to leptin, which is called leptin resistance. Much like insulin resistance, it's possible to have enough leptin, but because your body doesn't use it effectively, you still feel hungry. Leptin resistance is a serious health issue. Essentially you are overfeeding your body but the perception from your brain is that you are starving because you actually are missing vital nutrients such as magnesium.

The journal Circulation showed that men with established heart disease had blood leptin levels 16% higher than men considered heart healthy. Every 30% increase in leptin increased the risk of a heart attack or a vascular event by 25% (Wallace et al 2001).

Obesity and type-2 diabetes epidemics have joined forces ravaging the health of hundreds of millions of people around the world who have been significantly affected by this deadly pair. It is extremely important to understand how these two epidemics are intertwined.

The popular belief is that if one eats too much sugar, they'll get fat and develop diabetes, but this is only half the truth. There's more to the obesity-diabetes connection than what most doctors and just about everyone else typically believe.

When leptin is working properly it prevents nutrient spillover by telling insulin to shut off after your tank is full. Every time you eat excess food (more than what your body needs for energy), leptin and insulin levels surge. Leptin resistance leads to insulin resistance which further establishes leptin resistance. Leptin levels correlate with insulin levels (both are high in hyperinsulinemia). With insulin resistance, you no longer have insulin sensitivity. When you are insulin sensitive, you only need to secrete a small amount of insulin to get glucose (glycogen) into the muscles and liver.

Researchers have discovered that a proper diet and regular exercise have the greatest impact on reversing the damage done by leptin resistance. Too little sleep can lower the appetite-control hormone leptin and increase the appetite-stimulating hormone ghrelin. Now research reports that sleep loss may increase dangerous belly fat. Get a good night's sleep should be standard doctor's orders but sleep does not come on command for a large segment of people.

Melatonin, the hormone that regulates your body's internal clock, is closely linked with leptin production. Your body produces the most leptin overnight while you sleep. Anything that disrupts your sleep can disrupt leptin production. Nothing will disturb sleep more than a serious magnesium deficiency, except for pharmaceutical medications for sleep disorders. It is vitally important to sleep in the dark -- any artificial light sources will seriously curtail melatonin production during sleep.

Magnesium



One potential cause for lower serum magnesium in obese youth is low dietary magnesium intake. Studies do show that the calorie-adjusted magnesium intake in obese children was lower compared with lean children. Hypomagnesemia (serum magnesium 0.78 mmol/l) was present in 27% of healthy lean children and 55% of obese children.

One of the causes of magnesium deficiency is over-medicating with synthetic pharmaceutical drugs approved by the FDA and prescribed by doctors. They prevent the body from absorbing magnesium. It's a cruel reality that diabetics are prescribed medicines that further reduce their magnesium reserves putting them into a fatal tailspin.

The body requires magnesium to absorb and utilize nutrients. Without magnesium our bodies cannot properly use the fats, proteins and carbohydrates we eat every day. When we aren't getting what we need from our diet, we will crave more food in an effort to obtain those vital nutrients. By activating hundreds of enzymes in the body, magnesium helps you get the most from what you eat so you can be satisfied with no more than the amount of food you genuinely need.

Since conditions like insulin resistance and diabetes are strongly associated with obesity, controlling blood sugar levels is a key factor in maintaining a healthy weight. When enough magnesium is present in the body, insulin can function properly and blood glucose is used for energy. A magnesium deficiency causes insulin to function poorly, resulting in high blood sugar and fat storage.

Magnesium is a co-factor of many enzymes involved in glucose metabolism. Magnesium has an important role in insulin action, and insulin stimulates magnesium uptake in insulin-sensitive tissues. Magnesium is required for both proper glucose utilization and insulin signaling. Metabolic alterations in cellular magnesium, which may play the role of a second messenger for insulin action, contribute to insulin resistance. Magnesium is needed to extract energy from food and for optimal insulin function. The more energy you extract from food the less you have to eat to feel great.

There are co-factors that the body needs in order to utilize vitamin D properly. Magnesium is the most important co-factor for vitamin D. In fact, it is common for rising vitamin D levels to exacerbate an underlying magnesium deficiency. If one is having difficulty maintaining vitamin D levels, a magnesium deficiency could be the reason. Magnesium is a mineral that is essential to all cells of all known living organisms. We also see research showing that low serum magnesium levels can be raised by injections of vitamin D. Vitamin D supplementation of 2000 mg/day also reduces the incidence of type-2 diabetes.

Stress

Stress management is one of the most important keys in fighting obesity, and magnesium is a vital nutrient for reducing stress. This is because magnesium supports healthy adrenal glands. These are the glands that control the release of adrenaline and cortisol, two hormones related to the stress response. While these hormones are vital to living, too much of them can cause weight gain and other health problems. Magnesium helps regulate these hormones so they are not overproduced.

Magnesium also regulates nervous system response. When we have a magnesium deficiency, our nervous system is over-stimulated, leading to irritation, nervousness and stress. When there is plenty of magnesium, the mind and body are finally able to relax and reverse the effects of stress.

Optimizing hormone levels is critical because hormones ?influence our moods, thought patterns (negative and positive), behaviors, appearance, and our ability to handle stress.

"Eating throws powerful hormonal switches and when you eat is just as important as what you eat," states Byron Richards, leptin expert of Wellness Resources. He provides five simple rules to getting the leptin in our systems to work properly for you and help you lose weight:

Combining this with adequate magnesium levels and vitamin D will together significantly impact the problems of obesity, metabolic syndrome and outright diabetes as well as many other diseases of aging.

Everything is...vibration

Health Depends on "Good Vibes"

August 3, 2011
http://www.henrymakow.com/vibrational_freq...ies_dis-ea.html

Laughter is the best medicine because it raises body vibrational frequency, & purges or neutralizes negative frequencies.



A response to..."Doctors Ignore Mental Causes of Disease" &
"Therapist Calls Homosexuality "Mental Illness"



By Kevin E. Abrams
(co-author of "The Pink Swastika")
(henrymakow.com)

The entire universe & every "thing" in creation is comprised of distinct vibrational frequencies - vibrating on its own unique wavelength.

AM & FM radio stations, for instance, broadcast on separate frequencies which are then "deciphered" & "attuned" by receivers.

Man, is created in the "Image" of God, which is His Divine "Frequency" to which man is more or less "attuned."

Negative emotions like hate, resentment & anger, lower or diminish the resonant frequency of our bodies, which makes us more susceptible to the function & design of a range of pathogenic microbial functions.

Shock, sadness, debt & loss, plus a lack of meaning & purpose in life, all cause our body resonant frequency to subside.

As therapist & Auschwitz survivor Viktor Frankl explains in Doctor of The Soul & Man's Search For Meaning, those who best survive adverse circumstances don't give up hope. They discover a deeper meaning & purpose to their experience.

EVERYTHING HAS A FREQUENCY

In Nourishment Home Grown, Dr. A.F. Beddoe explains, "Each species of plants and animals functions on a certain frequency (vibration) - like a musical cord."

"Research by Dr. (Carey) Reams using the early oscilloscope revealed that the frequency of each unique specie is what kept that specie in existence because only animals and plants with the same basic frequency pattern were able to naturally reproduce."

Beddoe provides a sliding scale of life-form frequencies beginning with pure elements like nitrogen on the low frequency side, and (healthy) humans on the highest frequency side of the scale, with compounds, bacteria, insects, plants & animals progressively in-between. The Creator sustains all in existence through frequencies, which are encoded in His speech.

Beddoe offers a banana as an example. "The banana frequency calculated in the 1930s is .000(15). The number fifteen is written with parenthesis around it to show it holds a single decimal position. It so happens that in the banana example the (15) part of the frequency number comes from the number 1.5 which is 1/2 the actual chromosome number of 3 for a banana.

"The three zeros tell us the time, or how quick the atoms vibrate (circulate) throughout the molecules of the plant kingdom." What occurs in the dis-eaze process is this... When the vibrational frequency of a plant or a human body plateaus with that of insects or pathogenic microbes respectively, then the host becomes subject to their function. Microbes are pleomorphic (many formed) rather than monomorphic (singular in form), thus, a benevolent aerobic (in oxygen) intestinal flora may morph into a pathogenic, i.e., anaerobic (out-of-oxygen fermentative) function if the terrain becomes or is made toxic, acidic &/or dysfunctional.

"Indeed, a root cause of all dis-eaze, as captured in the title of a book by Dr. J.H. Tilden, is, TOXEMIA (of the blood) EXPLAINED. And of course, toxemia of the blood, largely originates in the intestinal tract, digestive process & quality of food, i.e., mineralization & enzymes. Whereas minerals are the building blocks of life, enzymes are the spark(s) of life in all whole, living food.

"When defective or damaged, all plants emit a distress or discordant frequency, which is received by an insect's antennae & deciphered for remedial action. Insects are, in effect, like all molds & rusts nature's perfect recyclers. They are actually the ever vigilant guardians of our food supply.

"Much like flowers attract bees, minerally deficient & vibrationally weak crops attract insects to perform their function, for which they are rewarded in our current system of adversity with death. In the modern denatured & minerally deficient food supply - an affect of depleted & poorly mineralized soils, human beings actually substitute, or are "substituted" by Corporate Interests FOR insects.

" Both modern medicine and conventional agriculture, are "allopathic" systems of cause and effect - systems of opposites that wage war against symptoms, while either ignoring or neglecting causes (terrain). As French microbiologist Antoine Beauchamp (correctly) observed, "the microbe is nothing, the (toxic &/or dysfunctional) terrain is everything."

CANCER

For those challenged by cancer, you should first know its "purpose," or its cause. Cancer's natural purpose & function, is to recycle the body into usable compost. Cancer terms like "tumor," are interchangeable with those used in "mycology" - the study of molds, rusts, fungi and mushrooms.

Mushroom, for instance, can be substituted to describe the relative appearance and function of a "tumor." Both propagate similarly, and both perform the same function, which is to recycle depleted, abused, damaged &/or defective organic material into usable compost. This is in effect the carbon cycle, which is compromised or dysfunctional in most soils in which chemical fertilizers & pesticides are dispersed. So, if one wishes to know more about the nature and processes of cancer, simply study mycology. Note: It is in knowing the purpose or function of a thing, the remedy also is to be found.

All of the foregoing - health & dis-eaze, is tied in directly, & can be measured in frequencies. When a dis-eazed body frequency whether plant, animal or human, plateau's with that of the microbial kingdom, it becomes subject to its laws and function. Much to the chagrin of some, our world and universe is founded upon fundamental laws of cause and effect & order. As Dr. Norman Cousins personally experienced in Anatomy of an Illness, watching Marx Brother movies helped him recover from a life-threatening tissue disease. Laughter had become his best medicine because it raised his body vibrational frequency, & purged or neutralized negative frequencies.

Discordance of any type whether externally or internally induced, is a downward slope to discord and dis-eaze. Other pioneers in the field of frequencies are Royal Raymond Rife, who identified & catalogued thousands of microbial frequencies including the cancer microbe, and the eccentric Serbian inventor Nicola Tesla, who discovered alternating current and pioneered the radio.

Essentially, when man is in discord with Divine Conceptualizations and order, he will also by degrees, be in discord with nature & his fellow man. The word "atonement" means at-one-ment, or to be at-one-with. In other words, one must atone or (re)attune, to become complimentary, or at-one-with our Creator, one's fellow man and nature. This is our true role & place in creation.
