  • What You Ought To Know Concerning The H1n1 Bug  By : gary thomas
    The latest flu strain to hit the headlines (H1N1) - known popularly as "H1n1" is a strain of influenza Type A. While the normal version of "H1n1" causes outbreaks of influenza with low mortality rates in pigs, the strain which is currently causing human deaths is not the same bug. The new strain combines genes from human, pig, and bird flu and is similar to the strain that caused "Spanish Flu", responsible for a human pandemic in 1918. "H1n1" is an entirely different bug to the "Bird Flu" which was widely talked about last year, and among the most important differences is that "Bird Flu" infected people who had direct contact with infected birds, where as "H1n1" is being transmitted from human to human.

  • Holistic Acne Treatment  By : Gary DeWitt
    Holistic acne treatment begins by understanding why you have acne occuring to start with. We are looking for an internal long term solution. Not the creams and pills that deal with the acne on the surface. These things don't work to get rid of the reasons that underlie the acne in the first place. You can be acne free the holistic way.
  • Holistic Acne Cures  By : Gary DeWitt
    Without eliminating the source of your acne condition, you will never get rid of your acne. Without fixing the internal problem that is causing your acne, you may find temporary relief, but your acne will always come back until you do something fundamental to eradicate the cause from within...until you make the pond (your body or internal system) a place where ‘mosquitoes’ cannot exist.

  • Essential Oils and Cancer: A Review of Published Scientific Studies  By : Tarah Cech
    The Acceptance of Alternative Therapies

    The practice of 'aroma medicine', rather than the somewhat more vague 'aromatherapy', is making very strong gains in the United States. The primary reasons are twofold: Many individuals have become completely disenchanted with our current conventional medical system. We're paying HUGE amounts of money for very questionable therapies -- with many medicines having threatening health warnings (are these making us sicker while making us 'better'?) accompanying their high price tags. At the same time, people are realizing the value of 'traditional' medicines may be far greater than they've been lead to believe. That the healing power available in properly prescribed and employed natural medicines have the potential to not only alleviate the symptoms of an illness, but move the body to an equilibrium of long term health.

    Science Backs Aromatherapy

    Research into the area of medicinal applications of essential oils has been significant in recent years. Many oils have been proven to have significant antiviral, antibacterial and antifungal action. Now, the body of evidence of essential oils being strongly anti-tumorial, with specific anti-cancer action is growing, too. A search of Pub Med, the National Institute of Health's online research database produces 391 results for the search 'essential oils cancer' and 444 results for 'essential oil tumor'. MANY of the studies show a direct correlation in tumor and cancer cell line eradication with the use of essential oils. A great many have conclusions that indicate the studies results warrant further investigation of essential oils for the development of accepted therapies. Here's a review of some very promising results:

    Anticancer Action of Frankincense

    A study in the journal BioMed Central journal of Complementary and Alternative Medicine, March 2009, titled: "Frankincense oil derived from Boswellia carteri induces tumor cell specific cytotoxicity" concludes with: "Frankincense oil appears to distinguish cancerous from normal bladder cells and suppress cancer cell viability. Microarray and bioinformatics analysis proposed multiple pathways that can be activated by frankincense oil to induce bladder cancer cell death. Frankincense oil might represent an alternative intravesical agent for bladder cancer treatment." ...while a bit technical, this is very, very promising -- essentially saying that this easily obtained, inexpensive, NON-TOXIC natural compound can eradicate cancer cells without harming normal, healthy cells in the same organ. Frankincense has a long, long history of medicinal use, and searching for 'frankincense cancer' produces 30 results just for this material. If choosing an essential oil of Frankincense, the 'carteri' species has been the subject of most research, with cold-process Carbon Dioxide distilled oils considered the most therapeutic (seek CO2 or SCO2 distilled oils or extracts).

    Essential Oil lf Lemongrass and Natural Cell Death

    Lemongrass, after Frankincense, may next most commonly researched essential oil for anti-cancer activity. In the May 2009 journal of Chemico-Biological Interactions, researchers tested Lemongrass essential oil against 12 human cancer cell lines. Colon cancer and neuron cancer cell lines were found most susceptible to the essential oil. The study concluded: "Our results indicate that the oil has a promising anticancer activity and causes loss in tumor cell viability by activating the apoptotic process as identified by electron microscopy." This indicates that Lemongrass may induce natural cell death of cancer cells (apoptotic process), a process that is inherently dysfunctional in cancer cells.

    Complete Eradication of Liver Cancer

    Linalool is a very common essential oil constituent. Essential oils are naturally made up of many individual chemical constituents, and linalool is a sweet, relaxing aromatic found in many floral and sweeter spice essential oils. Linalool itself, separated from the essential oil of Coriander (Cilantro seeds) was the subject of research published in the June 2009 issue of the journal of Chemico-Biological interactions. Linalool was found to completely eradicate the HepG2 liver cancer cell line in VERY low concentrations. Linalool has a great many other effects, having been shown to lower anxiety and even significantly improve sleep. And now it even has anti-cancer effects! So even if one is notle directly targeting cancer, but using aromatherapy in a more 'casual' application, there may be important protective effects occurring at the same time.

    Sandalwood and Skin Cancer

    While the studies above show essential oils potential efficacy at treating cancers of internal organs, a number of studies show oils can both eradicate skin cancers and act as protectants from cancer-causing agents. Sandalwood has a very long history in Ayurvedic medicine, the paste from the wood being used in a great many treatments. The oil distilled from the heartwood of the Sandal tree has been the subject of many studies demonstrating its protective action -- the oil has a significant effect in the prevention of tumors when skin is exposed to tumor-inducing chemicals and even UV radiation. Tea Tree oil, a well known antiseptic, exhibited anticancer action by impairing the growth of human m14 melanoma cells -- and even showed great effect on those melanoma cells which are resistant to other treatments. Many essential oils have significant antioxidant activity, and may be excellent additions to pre-sun skin lotions to lessen radiation absorption and oxidative radical formation.

    DNA Protective Effects

    Components of Thyme and Oregano essential oils have been shown to actually protect human DNA strands from breaking when exposed to extreme oxidative stress. DNA damage is a leading cause of cancer development, as this can lead to an abnormal cell life cycle, essentially turning off the process of natural cell death. Carvacrol and Thymol were singled out in a study by Slovakian researchers in 2007, though they also note that other components of these oils may have chemoprotective effects as well. Other spice essential oils that have demonstrated cancer preventative effects include Ginger, Tumeric, Basil, Garlic and Sage.

    Moving Forward with Effective Natural Therapies

    This is but a cursory look into the current body of essential oil research pertaining to cancer treatments. Many not-so-commonly used essential oils display therapeutic effects as well, and there are likely many more plants whose oils are just waiting to be discovered. While it is important to recognize these therapies have yet to be completely defined for sound, effective treatments, there is hope their efficacy will be embraced by the world's conventional medical systems. Certainly as the costs of technology-based treatments skyrockets, essential oils will continue to look more attractive -- particularly to the 'end users', or the 'customers' of the medical establishment. Please be aware that essential oils can be contra-indicated with many modern cancer treatments (chemotherapy specifically), so be sure a physician is consulted before any oils are used by someone undergoing treatment. Otherwise, essential oils are quite safe when simply therapeutic guidelines are followed, and their wonderful protective effects are already available to all of us.
  • Orange County Chiropractic Care Offers Holistic Medicine  By : Saundra Fleisher
    Physicians have a tendency to prescribe an array of pharmaceutical remedies and drugs when treating medicals problems with patients, many of which offer undesirable side-effects and potential toxicity to the patient. Sometimes the cure can be even more unpleasant than the disease. Medical practitioners are fast to mark every malfunction of the body as a problem or a 'disease', they often use chemicals or surgery even to the detriment of the patient. This is where Dr. Marcus Ettinger and his Orange County-based holistic clinic differ from the majority in the medical field.

    Recognizing that most health problems are the result of aberrations in diet and lifestyle, Dr. Ettinger, doctor of chiropractic and "twenty-first century medical detective" is aware that with proper diagnostics and correction of unhealthy practice's one can help the body achieve lasting health without risking the potential complications of surgeries and pharmaceutical treatment's. Illnesses and poor overall health are generally and most-often the direct result of these bad dietary and lifestyle habit's and medicine's can lead to more problem's even putting your health at further risk of deterioration.


    This is why Dr. Ettinger strives to diagnose the dietary and other factors that have led the patient to seek help for problems ranging from obesity, diabetes, hypertension and high cholesterol, to allergies, chronic fatigue and even depression or anxiety. Dr. Ettinger designs individual treatment plans for his patients which focus on holistic and other complimentary therapies which avoid surgery and drugs.

    Services provided by the Santa Ana chiropractor and his AdvancedHealing.com clinic include: chiropractic care, alternative medicine, weight management, and diagnostic testing, as well as holistic lifestyle and exercise instruction. By considering each patient as a unique individual, Dr. Ettinger formulates a treatment plan from a holistic viewpoint. When a health challenge is recognized, a workable goal is set for the patient's return to a healthier life. After nearly 20 years of experience with treating illness like cancer, diabetes and HIV; Dr. Ettinger's practice has seen many miraculous recoveries and has grown to include a worldwide list of patients.

    Nine out of ten people who seek chiropractic care do so in the hopes of relieving severe pain. Once the right diagnoses have come about the next thing to do is to form a plan for individual treatment with the fastest most effective outcomes. Relieving a patient's pain completely is the aim of Pain Relief Chiropractic Care. This can be followed by Spinal Corrective Chiropractic Care, where the root causes of the pain are treated and corrected. Almost all patients opt later for Wellness Chiropractic Care, to maintain the corrections which have been achieved.
