The Uncomfortable “Comfort Zone”

Monday, March 31st, 2008

I think it is common that many people fall into their comfort zone.  Although how comfortable is it really?

Do they love their job, their financial compensation, their relationships, or even where they live, geographically speaking.

We often create this world around us to get by, if we are not undergoing a tremendous amount of pain, then we really dont find much of a reason to move forward.

Pain is a tremendous motivator, but so is utopia.

I am not going to ask you to look within your pains right now to find that reason why to make a change.  Instead, I would like you to think about what you really want in life.  How do you want your health to be?  Where would you like to live?  Whom would you like to be living and associating with?  What would you be doing and how much money would you be making?

Lets go for Utopia, and keep in mind when we undergo change from what we are familiar with, we might sense a feeling of discomfort.  Embrace the change, and know it is to allow in the greatest things that life has to offer….whatever that might meen to you.

Insurance Companies Doing the Work of the FDA at the Pressure of Big Pharma?

Tuesday, March 18th, 2008

So, today I got two calls from great pharmacy customers of ours.  Both calls were in response to letters they got from their insurance company.

I dont want to say the name of the insurance company, well… let me say that it rymes with Mr. Derc Dedco. 

So the letter said that they will not be reimbursing for estriol, one of the 3 main estrogens that the body naturally makes.  They said that estriol is a weak estrogen and has not been to be safe or effective by the FDA.

The FDA’s track record is not something that we should hang our health on.  There are a multitude of examples where their claims on safety have failed the public.

As I mentioned there are 3 main estrogens. 

Estradiol is still being paid for because it is in patented drugs that have most likely paid millions to the FDA for such approval.

Estrone is ok in the eyes of Dirk Redco, and who knows why because we know this is the one that most likely can metabolize into carcionogenic metabolites.  Oh yeah, hydroxy equine estrone is in premarin, aka horse urine in a tablet that is approved by the FDA and has been implicated in a host of ill health issues from the Womens Health Initiative in 2001.

Estriol, as mentioned above, is not paid for.  Estriol is know as the “protective” estrongen.  Where we know any estrogen can cause growth of tissue when not properly balanced by progesterone and adequate detoxification, it can displace estradiol, a much more powerful, thus proliferative (can cause excessive tissue growth), and is approved by the FDA.

And in the end, should we only utilize what are insurance companies will pay for?  I think not.

Natural Alternatives for Herpes, I and II

Natural Alternatives for Herpes
 

Herpes Simplex is believed to affect over 50% of the American adult population, with the majority of individuals not even aware that they have it. Symptoms of a herpes outbreak are tingling, burning and itching of the affected area.  More severe symptoms are swollen glands, headaches, fatigue, muscle soreness or fever.  In the case of genital herpes, burning on urination can be present.
There are two types of herpes simplex viruses: type 1 (HSV-1) and type 2 (HSV-2). The herpes viruses is spread through physical contact and released from the sores that the virus causes, although the virus can also be released between outbreaks from normal-appearing skin.  It is believed that as much as 70% of herpes cases are spread when there are no signs of infection, a surprising fact indeed.
Type 1 is usually found above the waist, such as cold sores on the lip and mouth area.  Type 2 is usually found below the waist, known as genital herpes.  These are not absolute rules though; type 1 can present as genital herpes and type 2 as sores on the oral cavity.
Herpes outbreaks generally occur when there is suppression in the individual’s immune system.  This can come by the assault of another infection or by what is extremely common, measures of stress; emotional or physical.
The conventional approach to controlling the herpes virus is through oral medications such Zovirax, Valtrex, and Famvir.  Where these medications can be effective in symptom management by suppressing the viral activity, they do not eradicate the virus from the system. 
So let us take a look at how the herpes virus is designed and what natural therapies can do.  Herpes simplex is considered to be a lipid coated virus.  This means that there is a shield around the virus to protect it from destruction.
Unrefined, organic coconut oil rich in lauric acid has the ability to strip off the lipid coating on virus.  We usually recommend our clients to take one tablespoonful daily.  For this we are fans of the Coconut oil from Premier Research Laboratories.
Olive leaf extract is a natural product that has shown to support the immune system while at the same time interrupting the replication of the virus. Olive leaf renders the virus unable to reproduce, thus may eradicate it from the system.  Due to the fact that it is not an immediate kill, results do not happing overnight, though very effective none the less.  An average dose of Olive leaf extract is 500 mg three times daily.  Our choice for olive leaf extract is a product we have called Immune Complex.
Finally, probably one of the most important nutrients for our overall health plays a very important role, Betaine HCL.  This should be taking with HCL Activator generally in a 2:1 ratio (i.e.- 2 betaines:1 activator) after meals.
We often implement the above three therapies together for the coconut oil will expose the virus to the actions of the olive leaf.
Aside from the above two examples which we find very effective, it is important to mention that L-lysine is commonly used in both the prevention and treatment of the herpes virus.  L-lysine is an amino acid with a dosage of 500 mg daily for prevention of outbreak and as high as 1000 to 6000 mg’s for an active outbreak. 
One should not take supplements or eat foods with large amounts of L-Arginine due to the fact that L-Arginine can inhibit the action of L-Lysine.  Foods containing high amounts of L-Lysine are peanuts, soybeans, red wine, processed cheeses, nuts, popcorn, corn, coconut and chocolate.
