Natural Alternatives for Treating Drug-Resistant
Bacteria
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, the federal
government's disease-fighting agency, has asked physicians to start prescribing
antibiotics "prudently," meaning only when absolutely necessary. Their
theory is that by saving antibiotics for times when they are truly the
only effective choice of treatments, we may stop or at least slow down
the deadly advance of these wily, mutant microbes. Officials from the National
Institutes of Health and the Centers for Disease Control have reported
that the overuse of antibiotics in medicine has created an epidemic of
antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Doctors fear that if antibiotic use is not
curtailed, we may soon approach the day when untreatable infections are
rampant. The reappearance of highly infectious bacteria is caused in part
by the overuse and misuse of antibiotics. Learn about safe, effective alternative

YOUR AGREEMENT TO THE DISCLAIMER
Towards the end of Louis Pasteur's life, he confessed that germs may
not be the cause of disease after all, but may simply be another symptom
of disease. He had come to realize that germs seem to lead to illness primarily
when the person's immune and defense system (what biologists call "host
resistance") is not strong enough to combat them. The "cause" of disease
is not simply a bacteria but also the factors that compromise host resistance,
including the person's hereditary endowment, his nutritional state, the
stresses in his life, and his psychological state.
"For
many of us it comes as as surprise to learn that bacteria are highly intelligent
and adaptable. We have been taught from birth that they are pretty dumb
and that, through the use of antibiotics, we are winning a war against
them, a war that will end all disease. In fact the opposite is true. Bacteria
show behavior that indicate intelligence and they are acting together throughout
the world to counter the antibiotics we have invented to kill them off.
Bacteria, it turns out, are inextricably intertwined with the formation
of the human species and the health of the Earth. One to two pounds of
our body weight are bacteria and over eons we have developed a crucial
and important symbiosis with them. Antibiotic
Resistance and Side Effects - Natural, Safe, Effective Alternatives
Alexander Fleming, the scientist who discovered penicillin,
cautioned against the overuse of antibiotics.
Unless the scientific community and the general public heed his warning,
Harvard professor Walter Gilbert, a Nobel prizewinner in chemistry, asserted,
"There may be a time down the road when 80% to 90% of infections will be
resistant to all known antibiotics." The scientific community and the general
public have ignored the insights of the late Pasteur and have ignored the
importance of host resistance in preventing illness.
David
M. Markowitz, M.D -
"Did
you know that close to $10 billion was spent on antibiotics in the U.S.
last year? Did you know that many bacteria have become increasingly resistant
to these drugs and that many drugs are outdated as soon as they are released
for use? Have you seen the many articles in Time and Newsweek (and many
medical journals) about the variety of plagues caused by infectious agents
throughout the world? What can we do to protect ourselves in a safe and
natural way against this ever-increasing threat? Have you had a child or
patient who has required multiple drugs to deal with one or several ear
infections? This is how this threat touches our daily lives. We now have
new HOPE . . . literally, hope in a capsule of Transfer
Factor!"
Dr.
Rob Robertson, MD - "I believe Transfer Factor is, without a
doubt, the greatest discovery of the century in supporting and modulating
the immune system. I believe a strengthened immune system will be the primary
way to stay well in the future. This nutrient can affect the immune system
like nothing else can. I sincerely believe everyone needs to consume this
product. There is no other product in a nutritional substance, nor a drug,
that has this kind of power and ability to affect our immune system. With
the increase of killer viruses, mutated germs, super-resistant germs, and
food contaminations, our only hope and defense, must lie within our own
immune system." Dr. Robertson received his medical
degree from the University of Louisville School of Medicine in 1974. He
served as the Director of Emergency Services at Western Baptist Hospital
in Paducah, KY.

The difference between an antibiotic drug and an antibiotic herb is
that the drug is an isolated constituent limited to the power of that one
chemical, whereas the herb contains several constituents with a variety
of healing properties, producing a synergistic effect. The herb can actually
kill only the bad bacteria while not harming the good; the drug does not
have the wisdom to differentiate. Furthermore, most bacteria are not fooled
by an isolated compound; often the drug becomes ineffective or the cells
mutate eventually to become resistant to the drug. The organic herb is
nature’s match for the bacteria.

Antibiotics Two out of three infants receive antibiotics before they
turn one year old. By the age of two, three out of four children have received
the drugs, according to recent research. These findings are especially
concerning as resistance to common antibiotics is becoming an ever increasing
problem. Deaths caused by Staphylococcus aureus, the so-called superbug
that is resistant to most antibiotics, are reportedly increasing. Moreover,
research from a new study has shown that children from low-economic backgrounds
are more likely to receive antibiotics than those from more well off families,
and boys tend to receive antibiotics earlier than girls. Low-economic background
might be a factor because people from this group tend to have higher rates
of respiratory illness due to smoking and a lower likelihood of breast-feeding.
By creating antibiotics we have introduced non-biodegradable antibacterial
substances into the ecosystem at the rate (now) of 40 million pounds a
year. To survive, for our species to survive, bacteria had to evolve and
they have at a rate never before seen on Earth. In this process they have
become more intractable and virulent than ever before. But more than this,
bacteria previously benign have been learning how to become virulent. We
have upset the bacterial balance of nature to a frightening degree. Over
the next decade our antibacterial arsenal will begin to fail at an ever increasing
rate. Epidemiologists now warn of epidemic diseases that are not treatable
by modern means. But it turns out that herbal medicines, those most ancient
of human helpers, are effective against antibiotic resistant bacteria for
they are much more complex than antibiotics and bacteria cannot develop
resistance to them. In this book I explore the ecological basis of bacterial
resistance, some of what we can do to prevent it, and the top fifteen herbs
to use as antibiotic substitutes for treating the most intractable resistant
diseases. By learing to understand bacteria as a crucial life form on Earth
and how to live in balance with them instead of destroy them, ecological
healing - a healing that takes into account our place in the circle of
life - can begin." Stephen Harrod Buhner
Healing with Holy Thistle (Blessed
Thistle) and Other Herbs The use of blessed thistle commonly known as holy thistle (Carbenia
benedicta) has been recorded as far back as the early sixteenth century
for treating smallpox, fever, anorexia, dyspepsia, indigestion, constipation,
and flatulence. Monks often grew Blessed Thistle as a cure for small
pox. Historically, blessed thistle tea has been drunk for digestive problems,
liver and gall bladder problems, headache prevention, respiratory ailments,
memory improvement and external problems such as sores, boils and itchy
skin. The plant gained the title "blessed" for its use in treating plague.
Blessed thistle is also used as a strong but gentle liver tonic herb, promoting
metabolic activities in the liver cells and toxin elimination. Especially
noted as a tonic herb for women. Some individuals employ this herbs, as
they would its cousin milk thistle, as a remedy for gallbladder and liver
disorders. more
Dr. Jerry Tennant, MD, from the Tennant Institute of Integrative
Medicine, explains that the micronutrients and electrolytes in marine phytoplankton
are exactly what human cell membranes need to carry out their metabolism.
Not surprisingly, the composition of human plasma, or fluid surrounding
cell membranes, is similar to that of sea water. For three billion years
Marine Phytoplankton has supported virtually all living creatures in the
Ocean. It contains a unique combination of life sustaining nutrients
including; Omega 3 essential fatty acids (EPA and DHA), protein, chlorophyll,
vitamins, minerals and trace elements. Overdependence on land-based food
sources often lead to deficiencies in micronutrients and trace elements.
Marine phytoplankton promotes and maintains optimum health by boosting
and supporting all systems within the body. When the body is missing critical
components, it is unable to maintain the balance of these systems, and
malfunctions (disease) result. Scientific research indicates that
Marine Phytoplankton may be the most important food on Planet Earth. It
is nature's gift to assist us on our journey to optimal health and wellness
through balanced nutrition. "The future of Nutrition is found in
the ocean" - Jacques Cousteau more
Infection
Clearing up with Marine Phytoplankton My Father-in-law developed
an eye infection due to cataract surgery. He was under a specialist's care
for over two months. He would go to see him every day for a while and then
every few days and he was using FOUR types of drops in the infected eye
every hour. Then the doctor mentioned he might have to do surgery to "hopefully"
correct the problem. We started Dad on Marine Phytoplankton three times
a day on a Tuesday and the doctor saw improvement the following Thursday.
Then the following Tuesday, the doctor was very impressed with his progress
plus my father-in-law said he could see better out of that eye than he
had in over two months. The following Thursday, the infection had completely
CLEARED up. The doctor was so impressed, he told him to keep taking the
"vitamins". He sent Dad back to his original doctor and he released him
because the eye problem was completely healed.
Dr.
Jerry Tennant, M.D. says that marine phytoplankton
contains almost everything one needs to sustain life and to restore health
by providing the raw materials to make new cells that function normally.
Marine phytoplankton has been called "the most nutritionally dense foods
on the planet". Containing a
wide range of trace elements, amino acids, vitamins, minerals, chlorophyll,
enzymes and cellular materials, marine phytoplankton promotes and maintains
optimum health by boosting and supporting all systems within the body.
Its antioxidants and unique polysaccharides can halt the genetic mutations
that can lead to cancer. Both high levels of saccharides and adaptogens
increase energy and stamina by improving our ability to consume and use
oxygen. Adaptogens also improve cardiovascular health by strengthening
the heart and circulation. more about marine

About one-fourth of all the medicines we use come from rainforest plants.
Curare, from a tropical vine, is used as an anesthetic and to relax muscles
for surgery. Quinine, from the cinchona tree, is used to treat malaria.
The rosy periwinkle contains an anti-leukemia drug; a person with lymphocytic
leukemia has a 99% chance that the disease will go into remission because
of the rosy periwinkle. more than 1,400 varieties of tropical plants are
thought to be potential cures for cancer. Medicinal

Homeopathy.
Homeopathic medicine developed much of its popularity in the United
States and Europe because of its success in treating people with cholera,
scarlet fever, yellow fever and other infectious diseases that were ravaging
populations. After 200 years, homeopathy is re-emerging as a major
healing approach during this era of a degenerative disease epidemic and
the resurgence of infectious disease epidemics in the form of mutated ‘supergerms’
A little known fact of history is that homeopathic medicine developed
its popularity in the United States as well as in Europe because of its
successes in treating the infectious epidemics that raged during the 19th
century. Dr. Thomas L. Bradford's The Logic of Figures, published in 1900,
compares in detail the death rate in homeopathic versus allopathic (conventional)
medical hospitals and shows that death rates per 100 patients in homeopathic
hospitals were often one-half or even one-eighth that of conventional medical
hospitals.
In 1849 the homeopaths of Cincinnati claimed that in over a thousand
cases of cholera only 3% of the patients died. To substantiate their results
they even printed the names and addresses of patients who died or who survived
in a newspaper. (28) The death rate of patients with cholera who used conventional
medicines generally ranged from 40 to 70%.
The success of treating yellow fever with homeopathy was so impressive
that a report from the United States Government's Board of Experts included
several homeopathic medicines, despite the fact that the Board of Experts
was primarily composed of conventional physicians who despised homeopathy.
The success of homeopathy in treating modern-day infections is comparable
to its successes in treating the infectious diseases of the last century.
It is common knowledge that homeopathic practitioners rarely resort to
using antibiotics or other drugs commonly given for infectious conditions.
Homeopaths, like any good medical professional, will use antibiotics when
clearly necessary, but it is worthwhile having alternatives that work.

As an antibiotic, Silver kills over 650 disease
causing organisms and RESISTANT STRAINS FAIL TO DEVELOP.
Silver is absolutely non-toxic. Silver in its colloidal state is highly
germicidal and has the opposite magnetic charge to disease; it usually
starts cleaning the bloodstream after 15 minutes of ingestion. Colloidal
Silver functions to kill disease organisms as well as stimulate the regrowth
and repair of injured tissue. It may be used both internally and externally,
for humans and animals. Externally, this water may be applied
directly to cuts, rashes, burns, and moles. Internally, it may be used
for viral infections, throat and respiratory infections, diabetes, Candida
yeast infections, menstrual difficulties, parasites, diarrhea, allergies,
colon spasms, and low energy. Colloidal Silver may be used as eye drops
for retinitis (a disease of the eyes).

Echinacea
is used as a blood cleanser and especially for skin disorders, such as
boils and abcesses considered a valuable alternative to antiobiotics. It
has a very strong immune-activating abilities as it activates the white
blood cells to fight off both bacterial and viral infections. Modern scientific
studies now validate Echinacea's traditional usage as a topical agent to
help the body repair skin wounds, and internally to enhance the immune
system. The active constituents in Echinacea which are thought to bolster
the body's defense are known as polysaccharides. Polysaccharides stimulate
the activity of macrophages, white blood cells which destroy bacteria,
viruses, other foreign invaders, and even wayward cells. It also activates
the body's production of interferon, a specific protein which protects
cells against the invasion of viruses. Golden Seal is a very important
traditional herb. Golden Seal was listed from 1860 to 1926 in the U.S.

Magnesium Chloride:
The Infection Fighter Magnesium chloride is nothing short of a miracle mineral in its healing
effect on a wide range of diseases as well as in its ability to rejuvenate
the aging body. We know that it is essential for many enzyme reactions,
especially in regard to cellular energy production, for the health of the
brain and nervous system and also for healthy teeth and bones. However,
it may come as a surprise that in the form of magnesium
chloride it is also an impressive infection
fighter. The first prominent researcher to investigate and promote
the antibiotic effects of magnesium was a French surgeon, Prof. Pierre
Delbet MD. In 1915 he was looking for a solution to cleanse wounds of soldiers,
because he found that traditionally used antiseptics actually damaged tissues
and encouraged infections instead of preventing them. In all his tests
magnesium chloride solution was by far the best. Not only was it harmless
for tissues, but it also greatly increased leucocyte activity and phagocytosis,
the destruction of microbes.

Propolis : Natural Healing from the Hive by James Fearnley
Propolis, which bees process from the plant and tree resin they gather
and use to protect the health of their hives, has also been shown to have
powerful antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects in humans. It has
been proven effective in treating skin conditions, wounds, burns, and in
the treatment of respiratory problems such as asthma and bronchitis. This
guide explains how to use propolis as a part of an everyday health routine
to boost the immune system and as a possible substitute for antibiotics.
Also included is a list of propolis products that are on the market and
instructions for consumers to make their own propolis remedies.

Bee Propolis is collected from domestic and overseas beekeepers and
is one of the richest sources of bioflavonoids known. Bees collect the
propolis from the resin of certain select trees and use it to line the
hive. Bee Propolis s a waxy substance collected by honey bees which contains
phytotonizides. Phytotonizides are believed to contain immunity factors,
which when used internally, stimulates the body and gives it a natural
resistance to diseases (a natural antibiotic).
Bee Pollen's Medical Miracles Researchers have demonstrated that there is a substance in bee pollen
that inhibits the development of numerous harmful bacteria. Experiments
have shown bee pollen contains an antibiotic factor effective against
salmonella and some strains of bacteria. On the clinical level, studies
have shown that a regulatory effect on intestinal function can be attributed
to bee pollen. The presence of a high proportion of cellulose and fiber
in pollen, as well as the existence of antibiotic factors, all contribute
to an explanation for this efficacious effect. "Bee pollen contains all
the essential components of life. The percentage of rejuvenating elements
in bee pollen remarkably exceeds those present in brewer's yeast and wheat
germ. Bee pollen corrects the deficient or unbalanced nutrition, common
in the customs of our present-day civilization of consuming incomplete
foods, often with added chemical ingredients, which expose us to physiological
problems as various as they are numerous."Dr. Joseph

California and southern Florida. This leafy plant bears fruit which looks
like a bumpy cucumber. The fruit, seeds, leaves, flowers,
stems,
and roots of this plant have been used in Chinese medicine for treating
gastrointestinal infections, as an appetite stimulant, to decrease
blood sugar in diabetics, and to induce abortion in mid-term pregnancy.

"Are Antibiotics still effective? The period once euphemistically called
the Age of the Miracle Drug is now dead. And the indiscriminate use of
antibiotics is leading us to one of the most frightening eras in recent
memory. That is, the return of infectious diseases for which there is no
effective treatment. Two decades following the introduction of antibiotics,
the medical community began to see a disturbing trend. Bacterial infections
that were once treatable no longer responded to antibiotics. Penicillin
is effective today against only 10 percent of the strains of Staphylococcus
aureus that it used to eradicate easily. Those that did respond often required
five to ten times the dose of the drug that previously was effective. One
example of this is the resistant strains of gonorrhea that developed as
a result of the antibiotics that were used to treat it." Michael

Slippery
Elm Inner Bark Powder According to the herbal materia medica, Slippery Elm has a most soothing
and healing action on all the parts it comes in contact with. Taken unsweetened,
three times a day, Elm Food gives excellent results in gastritis,
gastric catarrh, indigestion, mucous colitis and enteritis,
diarrhea,
being tolerated by the stomach when all other foods fail, and is of
great value in bronchitis, bleeding from the lungs and consumption (being
most healing to the lungs), soothing a cough and building up and preventing
wasting.
Slippery Elm Food is generally made by mixing a teaspoonful of the powder
into a thin and perfectly smooth paste with cold water and then pouring
on a pint of boiling water, steadily stirring meanwhile. It can, if desired,
be flavoured with cinnamon, nutmeg or lemon rind. This makes an excellent
drink in cases of irritation of the mucous membrane of the stomach and
intestines, and taken at night will induce sleep. In times of famine, early
American settlers used slippery elm as a survival food. A strengthening,
soothing demulcent herb, slippery elm is ideal for sore, inflamed, ulcerated
mucous membranes and wasting disease. Slippery elm can be used by weak
or debilitated people as a mild food to help build up the body. It is especially
helpful when no other food can be kept down. It is a highly nutritive,
tonic herbal food and is further helpful for conditions of tissue deficiency.
Olive
Leaf Extract: The Total Antimicrobial (article)
The first formal medical mention of the olive leaf - an account describing
its ability to cure severe cases of fever and malaria -- ocurred about
150 years ago. In 1854, the Pharmaceutical Journal carried a report by
one Daniel Hanbury and contained the following simple healing recipe: Boil
a handful of leaves in a quart of water down to half its original volume.
Then administer the liquid in the amount of a wineglass every 3 or 4 hours
until the fever is cured. The author said he discovered the effective tincture
in 1843 and had used it successfully. This method became well known in
England for treating sick Britons returning from His or Her Majesty's tropical
colonies. The author believed that a bitter substance in the leaves was
the key healing ingredient. more

Tea
Tree oil
(article) As early as 1923, clinical
trials in Australia began to provide scientific evidence for tea
tree oil's antiseptic and bactericidal properties. Its 'cure-all' effects
made it standard issue in the first aid kits of the Australian Army and
Navy during World War II.

and disinfectant of great repute. This first aid handbook offers a recipe
for you to make your own salve (See Section 3) aswell as many uses for

tree oil straight or in a diluted form. I have used tea tree oil on
both of my dogs and cats with wonderful results. For many years I raised
Rottweilers, having as many as 9 adult dogs at one time. Though I am down
to one now, who is presently 12 years old, I still use the tea tree oil
to maintain the inside of his ears and for any insect bites he may acquire
during our walks in the mountains. Whether you use this wonderful oil on
yourself or on your dog, cat or horse, it is a valuable medicine in any
home.
The oil contains numerous chemicals known as terpenoids. The oil kills
fungus and bacteria, including those resistant to some antibiotics. A single
blind study has shown topical application of 5% tea tree oil in people
with acne is as helpful as benzoylperoxide and has fewer side effects.

reports of cats which have died following the its use. In the US, cat
owners are advised to seek the advice of a vet before using the oil on
cats. A Californian producer of the oil was reportedly unhappy about its
Tea Tree product being promoted for use on cats due to concerns over its
potential toxicity. In the UK there appears to be no mention of possible
ill-effects or contra-indications and little awareness of its toxicity.more
An American expert in the use of essential oils (who has used Tea Tree

or inhibit the growth of a wide array of potentially harmful bacteria,
fungi, viruses and protozoan parasites.
The American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association now boasts over
500 members as an ever increasing number of veterinarians incorporate holistic
health concepts into their practices. Many of these physicians have experienced
the same excellent results with GSE as reported in human health care. Consider
the words of Stephen Blake, DVM of San Diego, California. “I have found
it (GSE) effective in the treatment of Giardia, ear infections and superficial
pyoderma (skin infections). I have also used GSE to purify meat so that
I can feed my patients raw meat and not worry about food poisoning. I have
used GSE for canker sores, gum infections and tonsilitis in animals, as
a vaginal douche for breeding horses to prevent infection and to prevent
foot rot in horses.”
Philadelphia veterinarian, Dr Deva Kaur Khalsa, has used GSE extensively
in her holistic practice. Because ear infections in cats, when caused by
fungus, can prove highly resistant to treatment, Dr Khalsa was particularly
interested in GSE’s antifungal properties. She says, “GSE has proven itself
to be extremely dependable and effective while adhering to the criteria
of a natural, non-toxic modality.
Now that many professional have found GSE beneficial to cats, dogs,
birds and farm animals, we are hearing reptile and amphibian enthusiasts
asking how GSE might be of use to the furless, featherless crowd. It has
long been known that pet turtles harbor salmonella, a bacteria that not
only threatens the animal, but humans as well. Since GSE is effective against
salmonella in a laboratory setting, GSE as a treatment for reptiles is
an exciting possibility for those concerned
with our shell-toting friends."
There are many herbs and essential oils that kill enterococcus, staphylococcus
and other bacteria as well as viruses, which antibiotics are unable to
treat. One of the most popular is grapefruit seed extract, or GSE, made
from the seeds and connecting tissue of citrus fruit. Grapefruit seed extract(GSE)
is being used to kill bacteria like Strep, Staph, Salmonella, E. Coli,
and also to fight Candida, Herpes, Influenza, parasites, fungi and traveler's
diarrhea. This has been proven in laboratories all over the world, and
is supported by feedback from doctors, veterinarians, farmers and consumers.
Non-toxic, biodegradable, economical, with no harmful side-effects.
Dr. Jane Bicks, a holistic veterinarian, adds grape seeds to Life's
Abundance, a healthy kibble for dogs and cats. She explain why
it is important.
This timely book discusses the problems encountered with the overuse
of antibiotics in the past 20 years. Antibiotic resistance has risen
to a point that once easy to treat infections are now more difficult to
treat and even life-threatening in some cases. The book addresses herbal
antibiotics, the immune system, the history of infectious disease, as well
as how stress affects health. Learn when to use antibiotics and when to
use safe, at-home herbal treatments for infections.
Probiotics and Prebiotics are the beneficial bacteria that are normally
present in the digestive tract. These bacteria are required for proper
digestion, the synthesis of Vitamin K, and the prevention of yeast infections
and pathogen growth. Studies have shown that the continual
use of antibiotics has a devastating affect on the immune system.
Each time you use an antibiotic, the immune system gets further and further
suppressed. Antibiotic kill friendly helpful microflora bacteria in a body,
not just the pathogenic bacteria. A healthy intestinal tract with a balanced
microflora can boost the immune system, keep pathogenic diseases of the
intestinal tract in check. Probiotic use creates an intestinal environment
that can improve a user's immune system. The intestines are the body's
largest immune organ. It's a fairly hostile environment and a well balanced
system can relieve immunological stress associated with an unhealthful
system. This gives the immune system a chance to enhance its capabilities
in other parts of the body.

body, your inner ecosystem contains enough good bacteria (microflora or
probiotics) to outnumber the bad and help maintain control over them. Probiotics
may be a buzzword in the health and wellness industry, but you need to
consume plenty of prebiotics, to ensure you have enough probiotics populating
your gut.
Charles Smith D.O. OBGYN – Surgeon - "During the
past five years I have seen positive results with a probiotic – prebiotic
complex for the treatment of Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (IBDs) of Ulcerative
colitis and Crohn's. Other positive results were observed during the treatment
of Diverticulosis and Diverticulitis. Relief from various food allergies
and Acid Reflux are continually realized, while eliminating both constipation
and diarrhea associated with generalized gastric upset. We also observe
a natural mechanism to effectively address vaginal yeast infections. The
product we have seen these results with is called Prescript-Assist.
The initial positive results were so remarkable that I encouraged the company
to allow for a double-blinded,
placebo controlled clinical trial to support our initial findings.
Subsequently, I was one of three physician ‘co-investigators’ to a recently
published clinical study for Prescript-Assist’s effectiveness to treat
Irritable
Bowel Syndrome (IBS)."
The mechanism by which noni juice accomplishes
it's results may be that it acts indirectly by enhancing the immune
system involving macrophages and/or lymphocytes according to researcher
A. Hirazumi, Ph.D.
The scientific name for Noni is "morinda citrifolia". The ancient Hawaiian
people gave it the name "Noni". According to historians the Noni plant
was considered sacred, and was treasured by the Polynesian Island's people
because of it's medicinal uses. Noni
is an important ingredient in the FrequenSea juice with marine phytoplankton.
Dr. Ralph Heinicke pioneered the study of xeronine, and his research
has lead to the understanding of why Noni has such a tremendous impact
on the human body. Noni delivers a precursor called "Pro-Xeronine" to the
body which the body then changes into "Xeronine" at the cellular level.
Xeronine is naturally produced in the body in small amounts. The body uses
it to activate some inactive enzymes that the body requires. Proteins are
also regulated by xeronine. Dr. Heinicke attributes some remarkable properties
and benefits to the pro-xeronine in Noni. Dr. Heinicke and many other health
practitioners consider Noni to be one of the most beneficial nutritional
products available. The mechanism by which noni juice accomplishes it's
results may be that it acts indirectly by enhancing the immune system
involving macrophages and/or lymphocytes according to researcher A. Hirazumi,
Ph.D. Dr. Heinicke believes that once activated, xeronine helps to repair
damaged cells by regulating the rigidity and shape of particular proteins
compromising those cells.
The noni plant also goes by the name of the Och Plant in India, Nonu
in Samoa, Nono in Tahiti, Nhau in S.E. Asia and Cheese Fruit in Australia.
Noni is nutritious and was a dietary staple in some ancient cultures. References
to Noni date back many centuries. Medicinal use of the Och plant is mentioned
in ancient Sanskrit writings. The Noni plant is native to S.E. Asia and
was introduced to the Polynesian Islands through the migration of natives.
"Garlic has been used for thousands of year in folk medicine as an "infection
fighther". Reseach studies have confirmed that it has serious immune system
enhancing capacities/potential. Don't cook it if you want to use it to
bost your immune system. For the full efect don't c hew it- just swallow
it and let its powerful alkaloids (ative ingredients) be absorbed directly
into your digestive tract. If you ahve a delicate stomach you will want
to start with half a small clove." Miranda Castro FSHom
According
to the British Journal of Biomedical Science, allicin is considered to
be the most potent antibacterial agent in crushed garlic extracts. Garlic
has been used since the days of the Egyptians to treat wounds, infections,
tumors, and intestinal parasites. Several animal studies published
between 1995 and 2005 indicate that allicin may reduce atherosclerosis
and fat deposition, normalize the lipoprotein balance, decrease blood pressure,
have anti-thrombotic and anti-inflammatory activities, and function as
an antioxidant. Garlic has been widely reported to protect against cardiovascular
disease by reducing serum cholesterol concentrations and blood pressure
and by inhibiting platelet aggregation. Garlic detoxifies chemical
carcinogens and prevent carcinogenesis and can also directly inhibit the
growth of cancer cells. Allicin, the heart of garlic, stimulates immunity,
including macrophage activity, natural killer and killer cells, and LAK
cells, and to increase the production of IL-2, TNF, and interferon-gamma.
Sea
plants -- gifts from the sea! Seaweed contains over 60 minerals and elements, 21 amino acids, simple
and complex carbohydrates and several essential plant growth hormones.
Being rich in amino acids, vitamins, minerals and trace elements is one
of the key reasons why kelp is known as a great promoter of glandular health,
especially for the pituitary, adrenal and thyroid glands. Kelp also supplies
a natural source of iodine, which acts as an antibiotic to kill germs.
Since the thyroid and pituitary glands regulate certain functions of digestion,
kelp is beneficial in balancing out the total system. Nature has offered
us this marvelous "herb of the sea" in a complete and balanced form. Kelp/seaweed
aids in the healing process by offering the vitamins and minerals necessary
for tissue repair and promotes better utilization and absorption of nutrients
from foods ingested.

F. Batmanghelidj, M.D.
- "Every function inside the body is regulated by and depends on water.
Water must be available to carry vital elements, oxygen, hormones, and
chemical messengers to all parts of the body. Without sufficient water
to wet all parts equally, some more remote parts of the body will not receive
the vital elements that water supplies. Water is also needed to carry toxic
waste away from the cells. In fact, there are at least 50 reasons why the
body needs sufficient water on a regular, everyday basis. Without sufficient
water to constantly wet all parts, your body's drought-management system
kicks into action. The histamine-directed chemical messenger systems are
activated to arrange a new, lower quota of water for the drought-stricken
areas. When histamine and its subordinate "drought managers" come across
pain-sensing nerves, they cause pain. This is what I discovered in my research
that I mentioned earlier."
Benefits of Alkaline, Ionized Water,
by Dr. Hidemitsu Hayashi, M.D. Water has the ability to attract and accumulate bio-energy. It also
stores an energy memory of harmful or helpful vibrations to which it was
exposed in the past. Chlorinated tap water is polluted with non-biological
chemicals and negative energy imprints. It is also devoid of bio-energy
and so may be regarded as being badly polluted as well as 'dead'. Alkaline
living water is regarded by a growing number of health care professionals
as the best water to drink and is listed as a medical device in Japan for
the treatment of degenerative diseases.

- "An associate in her early fifties who had suffered for many years from
the toxic effects of chlorine poisoning from inhaling vapors from
an over-chlorinated swimming pool. This had resulted in many severe
health challenges including extreme chronic fatigue and breathing difficulty
that kept her housebound and dependent on oxyn. Even minimal exertion led
to extreme shortness of breath. After just three days of drinking glyconutrients,
she reported that all of her symptoms improved dramatically and that she
was able to leave her house without oxygen and work in her garden, which
she had not been able to do in years." The sugars found on all Glyconutrients
(saccharides) also address the workings of the brain and nervous system
– from memory and sleep to anxiety and depression.
Safe,

Energized, Drinking Water helps to naturally flush toxins and acidic

Substances that are toxic to our bodies come at us from all
directions: the air we breathe, the food we eat, the water we drink, the
cleaning products we use, and the metabolic waste produced inside us. Toxins
build-up in the body contribute to premature aging and chronic and degenerative
diseases. Dr. Steve Nugent, the past president of the American Naturopathic
Medical Association, reported recently that "in the typical American home
there are more toxins inside the home than outside the home! Your cells
actually contain over 400 new toxins that didn't even exist 45 years ago
and we are losing the battle against toxins!" It's a fact. There are increasing
amounts of toxins and chemical agents in the water we drink, the food we
eat and the air we breathe - they all contribute to the breakdown in cellular
communication and disease. more
Your immune system is your bodyguard. It works both pro-actively and
protectively to shield you from anything in your world that threatens your
life and limb. The immune system is not responsive to drugs for healing.
By rebuilding immunity, health is naturally restored and disease disappears.
If health and immunity are thereafter conscientiously maintained, the individual
is no longer vulnerable to disease. According t o Dr. George C Pack, MD,
a cancer specialist at Cornell medical School, almost everyone has cancer
cells present at times in our bodies. If our immune system is working properly,
these cells are killed or reabsorbed by our defense system before they
begin to grow and threaten our health. The only real defense against cancer
is the immune system. Everyone gets cancer every day but if the immune
system is where it should be those cancer cells are eliminated and we never
know it. more

Glyconutrients are not vitamins, minerals, herbals, homeopathics or
enzymes. They are a class all to themselves. They are supplements derived
from nature that have been formulated based on a new understanding in biochemistry
of how our bodies maintain health at the cellular level. This new discovery
is as significant as the discovery of the role of vitamins, essential fatty
acids, and amino acids in how the body functions. Glyconutritionals
are the foods and nutritional supplements that provide saccharides along
with other glycoforms (lipids and proteins) essential to the body, but
which are scarce in most diets. Over 20,000 studies have been conducted
on individual glyconutrients, and virtually all of them have positive outcomes
and show great promise as healers of the future. Based on the knowledge
that the body can heal itself through cell to cell communication if given
the proper nutrients, glyconutrients are seen by many scientists and doctors
as the missing link to optimal health.

What
Every Parent Should Know BEFORE Their Childen Are Vaccinated! Why
are a growing number of parents and health care professionals around the
world questioning vaccination? The controversy stems from the thousands
of deaths and permanent disabilities attributed to vaccination annually,
as well as the many published medical studies, government statistics, congressional
testimonies, and other credible sources that directly contradict commonly
held assumptions about vaccine safety and effectiveness.
Bart Classen, a Maryland physician, published data showing that diabetes
rates rose significantly in New Zealand following a massive hepatitis B
vaccine campaign in young children, and that diabetes rates also went up
sharply in Finland after three new childhood vaccines were introduced.

The
acid-alkaline balance of the body has an enormous impact on a person’s
health. When the pH of the body gets out of balance (too acidic), we
may experience low energy, fatigue, excess weight, poor digestion, aches
and pains, and even more serious disorders. When the body is excessively
acidic, vital organs and individual cells are subject to damage or destruction.
This condition, known as acidosis, can be a cause, an effect, or even a
symptom of almost any health condition. By balancing the body's acidity
levels, this simple plan can help toward curing various medical conditions,
including arthritis, hepatitis, insomnia, alcoholism, and kidney disease.

smallpox, fever, anorexia, dyspepsia, indigestion, constipation, and flatulence.
Monks often grew Blessed Thistle as a cure for small pox. Historically,
blessed thistle tea has been drunk for digestive problems, liver and gall
bladder problems, headache prevention, respiratory ailments, memory improvement
and external problems such as sores, boils and itchy skin. The plant gained
the title "blessed" for its use in treating plague. Blessed thistle is
also used as a strong but gentle liver tonic herb, promoting metabolic
activities in the liver cells and toxin elimination. Especially noted as
a tonic herb for women. Some individuals employ this herbs, as they would
its cousin milk thistle, as a remedy for gallbladder and liver disorders.
