Headaches

Natural Cures Store - Tricks & Tips
Let's talk headaches. . .
45 million Americans suffer from headaches each year. Last year there were almost 1 million doctor visits seeking headache relief. We've all had one, but is popping a toxic pill the best solution?
Those pills can cause more damage than good. I suggest a healthier solution:

Peppermint Oil
Just rub it on your temples and forehead (being careful not to get it in your eyes). It provides instant, soothing pain relief.
According to a study conducted in Germany, rubbing peppermint oil on your temples is as effective as taking 1,000mg of Acetamenophin!
You thought packing cayenne on a bleeding wound sounded nuts? Now this crazy lady wants you to rub peppermint oil on your temples and forehead? That's right - this stuff is amazing!
I keep a bottle of peppermint oil in my medicine cabinet, purse and travel case. If you have trouble finding it, ask your local health food store. I've found it with the flavored extracts, intended for baking. I've found it with the mouthwash, marketed for bad breath. In both cases, the ingredients were just 100% pure peppermint oil.
Try it for yourself. You'll be glad you did!

Natural Cures for Cataracts

Natural Cures for Cataracts
Feb 20, 2017                         

When it comes to treating eye issues, we literally need to “open our eyes” and look for effective remedies to preserve and maintain eyesight, as seeing is a primary sense for most individuals. This goal is especially important to those individuals already beginning to experience eye health issues, like cataracts. We hope to help you maintain your eyesight and remedy your cataracts using effective natural cures like alpha lipoic acid, phytonutrients, and lutein.

What Are Cataracts?

WebMD defines cataracts as a clouding of the lens of your eye that generally causes vision impairment. The condition is quite common and is believed to affect more than 50% of Americans over the age of 65 alone.

The development of cataracts is typically fairly slow; however, the associated symptoms are often difficult to decipher for patients. If you are developing a cataract, you will likely experience clouded or blurred vision, increased difficulty seeing at night, sensitivity to light or glare, development of “halos” around lights, frequent changes in your glasses prescription, and fading or yellowing of colors. You may even experience double vision in one eye.

Cataracts typically form as the tissues within the lens in your eye break down and form clumps. These clumps cause “clouded” areas on your eye, which in turn impair your eyesight.

Can You Eliminate Cataracts without Surgery?

Many medical professionals claim surgery as the only option for treating cataracts. While this treatment is often the only or at least the best option for treating a progressive, advanced case of cataracts, if you catch the condition early on, you can implement a number of natural cures to treat cataracts effectively. Three of the most effective natural remedies for cataracts are alpha lipoic acid, phytonutrients, and lutein.

1. Alpha Lipoic Acid

Research suggests that alpha lipoic acid is one of the most effective remedies for cataracts. This nutrient is similar to a vitamin and is considered an intensive antioxidant. Alpha lipoic acid functions to eliminate free radicals in your body, which are a major contributor to cataracts. Likewise, this nutrient helps restore vitamin E and vitamin C levels in your body, which help to maintain your eye health. For the best results, take 600mg per mouth twice a day.

2. Phytonutrients

If you are thinking, “Phyto-what?” just hear us out…Phytonutrients are the important plant chemicals that promote healthy cell growth and development. Many of these nutrients also act as antioxidants and help combat free radical damage to your eyes and the rest of your body. You can often find phytonutrient supplements at health food store, or just up your intake of dark colored (green, red, purple, and yellow) fruits and vegetables to make sure you are getting plenty of these important nutrients.

3. Lutein

Dr. Weil highlights lutein as one of the most important nutrients for eye health. This compound is a carotenoid and is a major component of the orange and yellow pigment found in a variety of fruits and vegetables. Research emphasizes the importance of lutein for protecting against cataracts and other degenerative eye diseases. You can find lutein in many complex multivitamin-mineral supplements, but also be sure to get an adequate amount of fruits and vegetables in your diet to further boost your intake of this nutrient.

Dangerous Chemicals in tap water

1. Fluoride

Adding fluoride to drinking water is a process that began back in the 1940’s to help reduce tooth decay. It sounds like a noble cause but fluoride is a neurotoxin and an endocrine disruptor. It can harm the thyroid gland and calcify the pineal gland. It’s so toxic that several countries have banned water fluoridation. Even some U.S. cities have caught on and started rejecting the process of fluoridation.[1]

2. Chlorine

Chlorine has disinfectant properties that make it useful for cleaning products and swimming pools. It’s even used to sanitize sewage and industrial waste. Chlorine is added to drinking water as a purification technique, despite not being completely safe.[2]
Chlorine is a reactive chemical that bonds with water, including the water in your gut, to produce poisonous hydrochloric acid. Chlorine exposure can cause respiratory problems and damage cells. Long term effects include memory loss and impaired balance.[3][4]

3. Lead

Lead is the main toxin causing problems in Flint. Corroded pipes are releasing up to ten times the allowable amount of lead into the water. Lead is toxic to almost every organ and affects children the worst. Developmental issues, stunted growth, deafness, behavioral problems, learning disabilities, and brain damage can all result from exposure to lead.[5] If ingested during pregnancy, lead can cause premature birth.[6] Lead exposure has even been linked to autism, prostate cancer, and reproductive problems for both men and women.[7] It’s damaging to the cardiovascular system and kidneys, too.[8]

4. Mercury

Although mercury is a naturally occurring element, “natural” does not mean “safe.” Mercury is extremely toxic and can cause brain damage, blindness, nerve damage, cognitive disability, impairment of motor functions, headaches, weakness, muscle atrophy, tremors, mood swings, memory loss, and skin rashes.
A byproduct of mining and industrial practices, mercury vapor can linger in the atmosphere and ride the winds halfway around the globe.[9]

5. PCBs

PCBs, or polychlorinated biphenyls, are chemicals used for industrial purposes such as insulation, machinery, oil, paints, adhesives, electronics, and fluorescent lights.
Although PCBs were banned in 1979, they’re still present in landfills and pose a danger to the environment. PCBs break down slowly and infiltrate the environment. They have been found in snow and sea water thousands of miles from where they were produced.[10]
Animal tests have found PCBs to cause cancer and negatively affect the immune, reproductive, nervous, and endocrine systems.[11]

6. Arsenic

Arsenic, despite being poisonous, is used in a multitude of industrial processes. Environmental contamination may result from improper waste disposal, or from poorly-planned wells that hit a natural source.[12]
Arsenic poisoning can cause vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and even death in severe cases. Long-term exposure can lead to skin cancer, lung cancer, and bladder cancer. In Taiwan, arsenic causes “blackfoot disease,” a type of gangrene that causes blood vessels to die and rot.[12]

7. Perchlorate

Perchlorates are a key ingredient in rocket fuel and explosives. They dissolve easily and seep into groundwater from military and industrial sites. It’s believed that perchlorates have contaminated much of the Colorado river.[13] The problem is severe; almost all humans will test positive for perchlorates, which attack the thyroid.

8. Dioxins

Dioxins are released during combustion, such as burning of hazardous waste, forest fires, cigarette smoke, and burning oil and coal. They settle in the environment and destroy water sources.[14]
Short term exposure can cause lesions and respiratory problems. Long-term exposure can affect the immune, nervous, endocrine, and reproductive systems. The International Agency for Research on Cancer has declared dioxins are carcinogenic. In developing fetuses, dioxin poisoning can cause birth defects or stillbirth.[15]

9. DDT (Dichloro-Diphenyl-Trichloroethane)

DDT was used as an insecticide in the 1940s to combat insect-borne diseases like malaria and typhus. It had widespread use as an agricultural insecticide until it was banned in the United States in 1972 due to environmental concerns.[16]
It remains in use in other parts of the world and is still a major health concern for all of us. DDT molecules are persistent and can travel vast distances in the atmosphere.[17]
Animal testing has found DDT causes reproductive problems and liver damage. The International Agency for Research on Cancer has declared DDT is a cancer risk.[18]

10. HCB

Until 1965, HCB, or Hexachlorobenzene, was used as a pesticide. Production has been banned, but it is still formed as a byproduct from the production of other chemicals. A large dose can result in death. Smaller doses can lead to liver disease and skin lesions. The EPA has classified HCB as a probable cancer source.[19]
In Anatolia, Turkey in the late 1950’s, over 4500 people suffered HCB poisoning as a result of tainted grain. Over 500 people died, including children. 30 years later, follow-up studies found that the breast milk of women in the area still contained up to 150 times the amount of HCB allowed in cow’s milk.[20]

11. Dacthal

Dacthal (dimethyl tetrachloroterephthalate, or DCPA) is an herbicide that contaminates soil and water sources. Unlike HBA and DDT, Dacthal is still in use today. Animal tests have found dacthal damages the adrenal glands, kidneys, liver, thyroid, and spleen.[21][22]

12. MtBE

MtBE (methyl tertiary-butyl ether) is a gasoline additive that can render large quantities of groundwater completely undrinkable. In 1996, the city of Santa Monica, CA found this out the hard way and the city had to shut down 50% of its water supply and pay for replacement water.[23]
The health effects of MtBE are not understood. Animal tests have linked it to kidney damage, seizures, and problems with fetal development.[24]

The truth about toothbrushes and why they don't work

The truth about toothbrushes and why they don't work

  • Home
  • The Truth about Toothbrushes and Why They Don't Work

BRUSHING WORKS

(IF YOU DO IT RIGHT)
The Bass Technique has been taught by dentists the world over for many years. Why? Because it works. If we brush our teeth with a manual toothbrush, with the bristles at a 45-degree angle, for 2 minutes, good oral health would be in reach of almost everyone.

ELECTRIC TOOTHBRUSHES ARE EVEN BETTER

(IF YOU USE THEM CORRECTLY)
In trial after trial, electric toothbrushes have been found to provide superior plaque removal over manual brushes.
Source

AND YET, HALF OF ALL ADULTS HAVE GUM DISEASE.

According to the CDC, 47.2 percent, or 64.7 million American adults, have mild, moderate or severe periodontitis, the more advanced form of periodontal disease.
Source
WHY?

BECAUSE WE DON'T BRUSH CORRECTLY, OR LONG ENOUGH.

Most of us brush for only 45 seconds, leaving up to 26% of the plaque ON OUR TEETH. Over half of us only brush ONCE A DAY. Our failure to brush correctly is leading to gum disease, which can contribute to other health problems including
HEART DISEASE, STROKE, AND DIABETES.
Source
Therefore, since most of us don't brush properly and for long enough,
TOOTHBRUSHES DON'T WORK.
Our solution? Build a superior toothbrush that does the work for you...


THE FASTEST TOOTHBRUSH EVER.

If like most of us, you don’t brush for a full 2 minutes, why not get the job done in only 30 seconds? 30 Second Smile features unique brush heads that brush the front, back and chew surfaces of both your upper AND lower teeth AT THE SAME TIME.

THE PERFECT TECHNIQUE EVERY TIME.

You don’t have to worry about brushing wrong anymore. The brush heads automatically align with your teeth and gums. You just have to lightly move them from the front of your mouth to the back, and 30 Second Smile does the rest.

Cleanse your Colon Naturally at Home

Cleanse your Colon Naturally at Home

The colon helps flush out toxins and waste from our body. It helps keep the bodyís electrolyte balance by absorbing requisite salt (sodium) and water.

While regular bowel movement does help in eliminating waste and toxic materials from the body, it is still important to cleanse the colon regularly to remove trapped toxins that attached themselves to the colon walls.

When the colon is not cleansed thoroughly, the build-up of toxins in the colon walls can trigger health conditions such as diarrhea, constipation, colds, headaches, fatigue, indigestion, joint pain, allergies, memory loss, stress, and vision problems.

Colon cleansing literally means cleaning and removing the trapped toxins from your colon.

There are also organic remedies that you can do at home.

1. Eat Vegetables and Fruits that are High in Fiber

Vegetables are highly effective in eliminating trapped waste and toxins from our colon.

Fruits and vegetables that are rich in fiber help keep our colon clean by flushing out toxins regularly.

It is important to have fiber rich fruits such as apples, raspberries, prunes, pears, etc. and vegetables such as broccoli, spinach, artichoke, peas, etc. in your daily diet.

By eating these regularly, youíre already preventing the build-up of toxins in your colon.

2. Triphala Herbal Treatment

Triphala is a natural laxative. The linoleic oil, vitamin C, phospholipids, and bioflavonoids present in Triphala stimulates bowel movement and promotes the elimination of toxins and waste from our body.

To use it, just mix a glass of water and a tablespoon of Triphala. Drink it first thing in the morning.

3. Sea Salt

This remedy is not for people who have high blood pressure or other heart conditions. Ask your physician first.

Fill an empty glass with water, pour the content in a pot, and let it boil.
As the water is boiling, put in a tablespoon of sea salt and let it boil some more.
After a few seconds, set the pot aside and let to cool for a bit.
Slowly sip the water.
Youíll feel a bit nauseous after sipping the salt water so lie down and rest.
You will then feel the need to go to the comfort room.
Get enough rest during the remaining hours of the day.
For this reason, itís better to do this remedy during the weekend.

4. Apples

You probably heard it countless times: ìAn apple a day, keeps the doctor awayî. Fresh apples are effective in getting rid of trapped toxic materials in our colon.

Treat yourself to a glass of fresh apple juice when you wake up in the morning. Chase it down with a glass of warm water after. By drinking at least three to four glasses of fresh apple juice daily, you improve your waste elimination and bowel movement.

5. Water

Itís important that we hydrate ourselves daily so the different organs in our body can function properly.

The recommended daily intake of water is eight to ten glasses.

By drinking enough water, youíre stimulating the natural peristaltic action of your colon which then allows it to function normally.
You may also drink fresh vegetable and fruit juices, coconut water, fresh lemon juice, etc.

Try to stay away from sodas and colas.
