Your Chronic Condition Doesn’t Have to Be Your Life Story

You’re Not Alone, Really! Your health challenges are your own. I really get that, as I too have had my own scary health challenges to overcome. Though it was a large mountain to overcome, I eventually got through to the other side. But I’m not going to tell you that it was easy, or that I have no more health problems. It takes a lot of time, effort, and hard work to resolve chronic conditions! While I have certainly improved my overall health and well-being, I would say that the improvement is at about 98% of optimal. I’ve worked very hard to get to that place, and, if you’re like me, you’re also striving for that clean bill of health,…

Simple Ways to Increase Longevity and Fight Aging

Since the 19th century, common prolonged existence or longevity is greater than before. At one time, the average male expected to live up until the mid-forties, while the average female expected to live until the late forties. This seems illogical since many of our older generation of people born in the 1900s are still around today. As our system advanced, experts found that people were living beyond the 70 and 80s. The longevity has changed dramatically providing the people gain. Still, in recent times, men are expected to live over 80, and women are expected to live past 90. Rarely do you see someone who has lived past 100 years of age. According to experts, a person living past 125…

A Big Part Of Women’s Health: Thyroid Conditions, Hormonal Imbalance & Heavy Metal Toxicity

Women with any type of chronic conditions that are seeking alternative or integrative medicine should be evaluated by their health provider for heavy metal toxicity. Hormonal imbalance, thyroid conditions and other chronic conditions affects millions of women on a regular basis. Heavy metal toxicity plays a vital role in many medical conditions today. Although some metals are necessary minerals our body needs, most heavy metals in the body are toxic and cause thyroid problems, learning disabilities, hormone imbalances, neurological problems, and can cause cancer and many other health problems. Heavy metals can be found in the air we breathe, the food we eat, clothes, machinery, tap water, in buildings, cooking utensils, and dental fillings, to name a few. Essential nutrients…

Mental Health On Depression: The First Step is to Acknowledge it

Depression is an illness and needs to be acknowledged as such. It is not a reason to be ashamed. The reason so many people fail to seek help for their depression is that they are ashamed. Unfortunately, this is one of the feelings associated with depression anyway and makes the illness difficult to acknowledge. If you are constantly feeling particularly low, well-meaning friends might tell you to “snap out of it” or even start to get irritated by your mood. Your depression will feed off this negativity and you start to wonder why you can’t just “snap out of it”. You then start to feel that there’s something wrong with you because it should be so easy and it’s just…

The History of Treating Disease: Herbs or Medicinal Plants

Herbs or medicinal plants have a long history in treating disease. In traditional Chinese medicine, for example, the written history of herbal medicine goes back over 2000 years and herbalists in the West have used “weeds” equally long to treat that which ails us. We are all familiar with the virtues of Garlic, Chamomile, Peppermint, Lavender, and other common herbs. Interest in medicinal herbs is on the rise again and the interest is primarily from the pharmaceutical industry, which is always looking for ‘new drugs’ and more effective substances to treat diseases, for which there may be no or very few drugs available. Considering the very long traditional use of herbal medicines and the large body of evidence of their…
