Use Magnetic Field Therapy To Increase Your Wellness

feeds@yuku.com (TotalWellness) — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 14:24:52 GMT

Holistic methods of treating ailments and disease have been around since the beginning of medicine itself. However, as people start to realize that maybe prescription drugs are not the end all, be all, miracle drugs, that we have been raised to believe, many people are turning their focus back to natural, holistic treatments. Holistic medicine is a natural, alternative type of medicine that is based on the theory that any ailment needs to be treated not only physically, but spiritually and...

Steroid treatments

feeds@yuku.com (larina roses) — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 12:03:13 GMT

They are talking about steroid treatments for Jack's pneumonia. I don't know much about them at all, but am trying to arm myself with lots of information before his doctor's appointment later this morning. What do you know about them? What about alternatives?

Sick/Flu

feeds@yuku.com (larina roses) — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 13:30:41 GMT

We all had/have it. It isn't the flu that's so bad, it's the secondary infections people are getting. Elizabeth got bronchitis (sp.), I got a sinus infection, Jack has croup. Jack is the sickest, with breathing treatments and the whole thing. Chris is the last to get sick. Wish us luck getting through.

How Acute and Chronic Pain Work

feeds@yuku.com (TotalWellness) — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 09:30:00 GMT

Let us analyze what pain is, from a neurological point of view.

There are two basic types of pain: acute and chronic. The former occurs as an alert, informing the brain of a damage or potential damage if a certain stimulus persists. The latter, on the other hand, is not an alert and stays for a long time, even after the traumatic event has healed.

Broadly speaking, pain develops in four steps:

• stimulus
• nociceptor reception
• transmission
• and...

Treating Muscle Spasms in Fibromyalgia

feeds@yuku.com (TotalWellness) — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 09:04:56 GMT

All of us suffer from muscle spasms and twitches from time to time, but those with fibromyalgia often complain of this annoying occurrence as an ongoing condition. The spasms can apparently come and go at any time and occur in any muscle, but most frequently they are in the back and legs. People suffering with this condition are on the lookout constantly for treatments that work.

It is believed that a muscle spasm is usually caused by one of three things: a lack of oxygen to the...

Relax with Reflexology

feeds@yuku.com (TotalWellness) — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 20:19:09 GMT

The practice of reflexology is a natural type of healing that works with the body itself to promote total wellness. Reflexology takes into consideration both the physical and emotional state of one's health working towards a goal of relaxing the body to allow healing to take place.

With the main focus on the body's ability to heal itself once it is free of tension and stress, reflexology techniques can enhance sleep, alleviate muscle aches and pains, and provide...

Preeatenna Reiki

feeds@yuku.com (Kai Krishna) — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 20:20:13 GMT

I want to hear more about your reiki experience. How did you get involved with reiki? How did you become a reiki master? When I moved last year I moved near my aunt for a year and she was a reiki master and helped heal me. She also gave me the healing hands so I can heal myself and others. I forget sometimes, I was sitting outside the emergency room the other day with an allergy reaction that wouldn't do away. My face and neck was patchy and really hot. I waited in my car for it to go...

Bananas

feeds@yuku.com (preeatenna) — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 16:00:20 GMT

The fully ripe banana produces a substance called TNF (tumour necrosis factor) which has the ability to combat abnormal cells.

As the banana ripens, it develops dark spots or patches on the skin. The
more dark patches it has, the higher will be its immunity enhancement quality .

Hence the Japanese love bananas for a good reason.

According to Japanese scientific research, bananas contain TNF which has anti-cancer properties. The degree of anti-cancer effect...

Natural cold flu prevention?

feeds@yuku.com (Kai Krishna) — Sat, 10 Oct 2009 20:58:52 GMT

Any tips for natural cold and flu prevention? I heard that if you gargle with salt water twice a day it works well in preventing flu that gestates there. I am not surprised because I do sinus rinse once a day and gargle that salt water and it keeps my throat and sinuses healthy. I'm going to add another salt gargle rinse in the evening.

Conventional vs alternative

When will you use conventional medicine? When do you use herbal or alternative medicine? What kind of alternative treatments would you use?

Can Colloidal Minerals Help You Live Longer?

feeds@yuku.com (TotalWellness) — Sat, 03 Oct 2009 19:48:56 GMT

Health and well-being are forefront in the minds of many these days, and one way that some are improving their health is through taking supplements of colloidal minerals.

Our soils used to be rich with minerals of all kinds. Heavy farming and overuse of our soils has left them depleted - meaning we no longer get the minerals our bodies need in our daily diet. Our bodies need at least 60 different minerals for optimal health; however, most commercially grown foods only have about 8....

gall bladder

feeds@yuku.com (Legendadry Perc) — Mon, 10 Aug 2009 13:37:01 GMT

so df doesn't have stones, he has polyps and one side (how many sides can something that little have?) is "sick" according to the doctors interpretation of the ultrasound he ordered. So if the doctor hadn't been convinced there was something wrong with the gallbladder, would they have even been looking and found something wrong with it?
The way it was done doesn't seem like it would hold up scientifically. They want to just take it out.
Does anybody know...

Girl's cervical cancer shot?

Can't remember what its called now. Anyway, my bf said if he ever had a girl he would get her that shot. Having a boy I know nothing about it. Can someone enlighten me? Is it good or a bunch of bs?

teeth whitening

feeds@yuku.com (Legendadry Perc) — Tue, 07 Apr 2009 00:50:20 GMT

So a couple different of my close freinds that I don't see very often, I notice that their teeth - the fronts of their front teath specifically, look like someone painted mother of pearl on them (its not inbetween the teath or the creases, just flat across the front.) I care very much for these freinds, and it sickens me to think that maybe this is damage to their teeth from whitening. Obviously they care how they look (why I think they got whitening) and I felt bad that they might be...

Chicken Pox

feeds@yuku.com (cjsfeet) — Thu, 08 Jan 2009 10:15:05 GMT

baby, now almost two, has the chicken pox. They aren't bad with her, and i am wondering how to let my other girls get it before they grow much bigger. I understand i can't force it, but i would prefer, and think they would feel the same way, if they got it while they were younger. so, what else can i do besides the obvious bath and sharing of cups, or occasional kisses?

also- with...

itching

feeds@yuku.com (jessila83) — Thu, 03 Jul 2008 14:43:13 GMT

I started itching all over about four or five days ago. It doesn't stop when I put lotion on and it drives me crazy. About a days after I started I used Veet hair removal on my legs and I have used it before without it bothering me, but this time the skin on my legs raised up and in some places got red and all of it was itchy(even before the veet, but more so after it). It is not affecting as much of my skin anymore, but it is still lingering and very pesky. Does anybody have any...

feeds@yuku.com (animal healer) — Sun, 04 May 2008 22:17:26 GMT

With passage of a historic resolution today at its 2008 General Conference, the United Methodist Church has become the first faith community to officially oppose the use of mercury, in any form, including Thimerosal, in medicines, especially vaccines.
Beginning in 2005, several United Methodist Annual Conferences and its Women's Division, an organization of nearly 1 million women globally, passed a resolution entitled, "Protecting Children from Mercury-containing Drugs." Today,...

the vax issue...I know...AGAIN

feeds@yuku.com (dragonflybloo) — Sun, 20 Apr 2008 21:43:56 GMT

ugh! I sighed a sigh of relief when my oldest had finished the few we wanted her to have a couple of years ago. She has a few we felt were a good idea, and I was not as "ballsy" with the ped as I should have been, and a few, I would have/should have skipped, but for the most part we are bare minimalist.

we survived....without major harm, thank goodness.

I just hate the worry and the decision making.

I have the books, highlighted, underlined, earmarked and well,...
