noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Sat, 30 May 2015 18:04:00 +0000

Hi Everyone,

I have not been here for a while now, yet I have been keeping myself really busy;

Ø I have been doing a lot of studying and research into being a Virtual Assistant, especially in Bookkeeping.
Ø I have also have been studying to be part of the Travel Industry. Which is another career that I would love to get into as well. I wish to travel more before I am too handicaped or die, whichever comes first.
Ø I also have had a lot of hospital visits, and I broke my right arm on February 20^th this year, now that was a totally disabilitating experience…and hurt like @#$%%&!!
Ø Now I am building a new Website http://www.chantalriel.biz/dir/ that will be my main site for information about me business wise.
Ø I am also updating all my other sites about me as well, such as Facebook www.facebook.com/virtualservices.chantal

All of this is a lot of work, especially the Website. I am doing it with Joomla slowly but surely. I have to learn it as well as apply it. Therefore, I would say go check it out often and tell me what you think of it, please.

Now back to my book, wow, I have been making sales and did not even know it until I checked Amazon. I was getting little amounts in my bank account, and it was described as Amazon. I also have an Amazon store (http://astore.amazon.com/alternheali0e-20), so I checked that out first, and that was not it. Then I checked out my Book, and voila that was it. I have found it on more than one site (I put them in tinyurl since the sites are so long) that has my book in Amazon as follows;

Ø FRANCE; http://preview.tinyurl.com/neplv48
Ø USA; http://preview.tinyurl.com/qashkru
Ø UK; http://preview.tinyurl.com/omstk7s
Ø INDIA; http://preview.tinyurl.com/olq2tk4
Ø AUSTRALIA; http://preview.tinyurl.com/q4q8pjz
Ø JAPAN/CHINA; http://preview.tinyurl.com/ongfx6a , http://preview.tinyurl.com/pccrzu2

This is my Book Cover;

I do not know if I’ll have the time to do the other books that I wanted to follow up with this one. I really wish to start-up my Virtual Assistant Business soon, and will probably be doing some translations from English to French Freelancing for another company. The jobs are there, you just have to look for them.

***A little info about my Health, I am doing better now, my Cancer is still Stable. The side effects of the medications I am taking is what bothers me the most.***

I can give you the site for the freelance translating jobs here at; http://gengo.com/translators/

If languages are your thing, then Good Luck in passing the test.

Anyways, Take Care All….and Please give me feedback about my Website.

Bye For Now,

And…

Live each Day as if it was your last. J

E-CIGARETTES

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Sun, 24 Aug 2014 23:00:00 +0000

E-CIGARETTES

They are a very good way to STOP SMOKING!! I've tried an E-Cigarette for over a month, and it worked really well, until I decided to smoke a cigarette or two if I got a really bad craving.

Then we (my Husband and I) got a real shock when he lost his job that he was working at for almost 8yrs. And now, at 53 he has to start to look for another job, which is not easy these days. Jobs are available, yet you can apply to all those of interest, but you never know which one/ones will call back.

I've tried patches and gum before, and it really didn't work out well. The E-Cigarette is the best way to go, since you can smoke the vapor, it tastes good (a lot better than a cigarette) and you get your Nicotine shot. Still you have to be motivated, no matter what way you choose to Quit Smoking!!

I Love the E-Cigarette, and the best place to buy from is not online, yet trying to find a place clos to your home to be able to try the savors you would like for your E-Cigarette. Also there are many types of E-Cigarettes as well, so it also offers you the chance to try different ones.

There are some of them that are online if you prefer, here is a small list of them;

http://affiliates.vaporzone.com

http://www.southbeachsmoke.com

GOOD LUCK TO ALL!!

REFLEXOLOGY

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Fri, 20 Jun 2014 02:51:00 +0000

Healing through hands and feet

Reflexology, often called zone therapy is a science that believes there are reflex points in the hands and feet that correspond to the organs and systems of the body. Reflexology is considered an alternative, complementary, or integrated medicine method of treatment and involves the physical act of applying pressure to the feet and hand with specific thumb, finger and hand techniques without the use of lubricant. It is not used to replace proper medical treatment, but in conjunction with it or as stress relief. Foot reflexology is much more commonplace than hand although the latter is gaining more popularity.

Reflexologist say that the body is divided into ten equal longitudinal (vertical) zones, five on the right and five on the left. There are also three transverse lines, the upper region of the shoulder girdle, the waistline, and the pelvic floor. The belief in reflexology is that each organ or part of the body is represented on the hands and feet and that massaging the specific areas on the hands or feet can have therapeutic effects in other parts of the body. This works because pressure on the represented zone will stimulate the flow of energy, blood, nutrients, and nerve impulses to the corresponding body part and thereby relieve stress or ailments in the corresponding body part. Reflexologists claim that foot reflexology can cleanse the body of toxins, increase circulation, assist in weight loss, and improve the health of organs throughout the body. It is said to remove blockages to allow ‘qi’ or life-force into the organs, and improve energy flow.

Reflexology can be performed by a trained reflexologist or can be done by one at home using a reflexology chart, as seen in the images as a guide. The chart maps out the various zones that correspond to the body parts. To do it yourself -

Step 1) Familiarize yourself with the various zones and points as per the charts. The left hand or foot reflects the left side of the body, and the right hand or foot reflects the right side of the body.

Step 2) To warm up, apply pressure to the insides of the feet and hands to activate the spine reflexes and pressure to the outsides to activate arm and shoulder reflexes.

Step 3) Move on to the head and neck. The fingers and toes correspond to these and stimulate the brain, eyes, ears and sinuses.

Step 4) Massage the balls of the feet to activate the chest, upper back, heart and lungs reflexes.

Step 5) Focus on any other areas you think require attention. You might find lumps, hardened skin such as calluses, in any trouble spots that may call for more pressure, or more frequent practise.

There are also now many reflexology products available on the market from special footwear with raised nodules that massage the reflex points of the foot, enhancing blood circulation. There are also reflexology gloves and socks that will indicate zones for you.

Reflexology comes under a bit of controversy and is criticised as a working science as there seems to be a lack of licensing and accreditation. Although there are testaments to relief from reflexology there is also a absence of research and empirical evidence.

I found this article really interesting, since I didn't know that the hands could be used in the same way as the feet. I hope you found this as interesting as I did.

NEW BLOG ABOUT WORKING AT HOME AND A NEW SERIES OF BOOKS

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Thu, 20 Jun 2013 06:21:00 +0000

ABOUT ME AND THE REASON I STARTED THIS OTHER BLOG

http://noscamsworkathomejobs.blogspot.ca/

I have three wonderful children who are now 14, 18 and 21. Two of the three have learning difficulties, so I tried to be available for them the best way possible. That’s when I started working at Home. Before I started Working from Home, I did like everyone else, found the regular 9 to 5 job and sent the kids to Daycare. This was before they started to go to School. I’ve been working at Home for approximately 14 years now.

I have an Accounting and clerical background, and do my family’s Income Taxes every year, therefore; I started doing Income Taxes for another company from Home. This worked out for the first Season in 1999-2000. The next season I did them on my own, seeing it wasn’t really working out with the particular company I was involved with; and I had moved. I also offered other services such as; translations (from French to English), Resumes, School Projects, etc… This also worked out for one season.

Then I moved to a small town for approximately 4 yrs, the first years there I took a break, internet was really slow, and so I did a lot of researching. Then for the next three years I opened a company with a friend and we worked together at her house. The company we formed again was in Accounting and Income Taxes to start out with. She had one client that demanded the full services of Accounting, and slowly we built it up to 5 more clients, plus a 100 or so Income Taxes every year. With this company I was the detail oriented and Tech-Savvy part of the partnership, and she was the Sales person and Administration side of it. This worked out for 3 years, until we both changed lives and moved to the bigger city again. I continued to do the Accounting for two companies, and some Income Taxes, until I found a full time job in 2008.

During the time I did the Accounting work from Home; I also found legitimate work at Home jobs as well. I worked for a company named SOM Research and Surveys; (This is a Job offered in Quebec, Canada) . They offered everything you needed to start up, this included the computer and the headset needed. Their special program is in their computer, and if a problem arises they could fix it easily by getting in your system. This was mainly outbound calls, yet the full text was there every time you called, it was really simple. The reason it didn’t work out eventually is that it was always in the evenings, and I preferred inbound calls as to outbound.

Also I found something better at Network Omni; (This is a US company that hires Worldwide) I was doing live translations (French to English and English to French) over the phone for $30hr, yet this is according to the time spent on the phone. It was really interesting work, a lot of inbound calls from many well known companies.

The reason I opted out of this one is that there were not enough calls coming in for about a month. They’re jobs that I did were part-time while I was doing my Accounting job from Home from 2000-2007.

From 2007 to 2008 I worked for two different agencies to replace employees at a Bank. This was a good job to be available for the kids since the shifts were mostly from 10AM to 4PM max, and one day from 10AM to 8PM. I loved working there but yet again didn’t get many hours, and was offered a really good job at a prestigious job downtown Montreal, which offered great benefits. So I jumped back in to the Rat Race Again….for a year and a half.

Then in 2010 I was diagnosed with Cancer (Multiple Myeloma), which will be my next book. I had no choice but to find something to do at home, I did a lot of research and even before this and got SCAMED a lot with; Survey jobs online, Affiliate jobs, Free Websites, a lot of Free EBooks…only to have my email overload with SCAMS again. Therefore; I had a passion to do my own Nails, took a Course and bought all my equipment mostly from EBay, put up my own Website, got into the Yellow Pages…..and opened my own Nail Salon at Home. This worked out for about a year, until I realized I was too slow because of the pain my Cancer was causing my (Back and Rib pain), it’s a lot more work physically than you think.

Then I found something else, really thinking I could do this, a company called Sykes (ICT Marketing). You get 5 weeks paid training, and then you start at a salary of about $12hr, but I don’t think that’s everywhere, plus you get your benefits after three months which are great.

This is a great company to work for, but it was too much for me. Seeing I had my Cancer, yet again it slowed me down, and this is a full time Job and I would have preferred part-time. That’s when I’ve decided to become a writer, since I have so much to say and offer. I hope you Enjoy my Books as much as I Enjoyed writing them!!! GOOD LUCK IN YOU JOB HUNTING!

SEX IS GOOD FOR YOUR HEALTH....

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 20 May 2013 20:00:00 +0000

Here is some interesting information about SEX....

Making love, it's good, it's nice, but it’s also beneficial to our health. We may sense that it may be beneficial, but now evidence confirms these premonitions ... 10 statements to the point out and test your knowledge.

· Sex increases heart risks

· At the moment of orgasm, the brain releases substances similar to morphine

· Sex is good for breasts

· The sexual act leads to difficulty falling asleep

· Men who have sexual dysfunctions; frequently have underlying diseases

· Sexual activity increases the risk of prostate cancer

· Sex is good for the vagina

· Sexual activity is depressing: after making love, you feel sad

· Make love three times a week extends the life expectancy of 10 years

· Sex can give headaches

Sex increases heart risks

Wrong! Conversely, the frequency of sexual intercourse leads to lower heart risks. Indeed, the physical effort developed regularly activates blood circulation and pump iron heart. But in heart disease proved, first talking with his cardiologist.

At the moment of orgasm, the brain releases substances similar to morphine

True! These analogs of morphine promote feelings of pleasure, relaxation and reduce stress.

Sex is good for breasts

True! Nipple stimulation and orgasm cause a rush of blood and the release of the hormone oxytocin, which are beneficial for the breasts.

The sexual act leads to difficulty falling asleep

Wrong! The sexual act brain releases substances that promote relaxation and thus sleep.

Men who have sexual dysfunctions; frequently have underlying diseases

True! The diagnosis of erectile dysfunction can lead to discovering a hidden disease such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, depression and take charge.

Sexual activity increases the risk of prostate cancer

Wrong! The sexual act repeated (three reports per week) rather play a protective vis-à-vis the role of prostate cancer. The effect of the number of ejaculations also manifest in the practice of masturbation.

Sex is good for the vagina

True! Semen is a beneficial substance to the lining of the vagina. It helps to maintain a good torpidity, that is to say, a flexible and well lubricated vagina.

Sexual activity is depressing: after making love, you feel sad

Wrong! After making love, though some feel sad, it is a minority. Most people, including men, feel happy and fulfilled. On the other hand, facilitating erection drugs have the side effect of reducing depression! Indeed, a man finding a more fulfilling sexuality also found the will to live.

Making love three times a week extends the life expectancy of 10 years

True! In any case, it asserts Dr. David Weeks, a researcher at the Royal Hospital in

            Edinburgh, Scotland. He studied the case of 3,500 people between 18 and 102 years ...

            Sex can give headaches

             Wrong! Instead, making love is comparable to taking two aspirin pain indeed! For orgasm

produces endorphins, natural analogues of morphine which, of course, an analgesic and

relaxing effect.

MAKING LOVE 3 TIMES A WEEK CAN BE BENEFICIAL TO YOUR HEALTH

According to Dr. David Weeks, a researcher and psychologist at the Royal Edinburgh Hospital in Scotland, a scientific study of 3500 people shows that making love is beneficial to health, reducing heart disease and cancer.
Before you give a small list of the benefits of making love, do a quick in context of the study. During the meeting alumni, could denote that some people seemed to have ten years younger than others. That's why Dr. David Weeks conducted a study on this phenomenon. to understand why. The event brought together 3,500 people aged 18 to 82 years, who had all as a sign of distinction to appear younger than their actual age. He submitted a questionnaire about their habits of daily life and the result of this analysis is that you know now ...

Cuddling under the duvet, "sport" more atypical and bring many benefits, here are a list of examples:

◦ Make love reduces heart risk: Indeed, the physical effort increases blood circulation and the heart pump iron.

◦ Sex reduce prostate cancer: A common activity would rather have a protective vis-à-vis the role of prostate cancer.

◦ The sex reduces breast cancer: This is due to high blood circulation and the release of a hormone called oxytocin.

◦ The sexual act is a natural painkiller: No excuse headache, making love would be comparable to taking two aspirin tablet

◦ Make love facilitates sleep: Sex release morphine that promotes relaxation and thus sleep.

Hope this makes you think twice before refusing to make love for certain reasons.....

Luv,

Chantal

Title: How To Overcome Challenges
Publisher: Chris Cade

Throughout our lives we face challenges in many types of situations. Do you sometimes freeze up when faced with obstacles because you’re unsure of what to do? If so, opportunities may pass you by because your resolve to meet the challenge quickly disappears.

However, the good news is: you can pass any test you face on the way to your goals!

Opportunities that once passed you by can be turned into stepping stones on your way
to victory. Once you add a few simple strategies to your arsenal, you’ll be unstoppable on your path to success.

Healing

Spiritual healing is the ability of your mind and soul to repair your ailments.
These ailments are not limited mere physical wounds, but can also relate to
mental illness and self esteem issues. Many modern day physicians invoke
the idea of spiritual healing along with western medicine as a means to
promote the health of their patients.

The belief that a healthy mind equals a healthy body is not new to anyone.
However, the idea that a positive spiritual existence might heal
the body is sometimes misunderstood. This book is about spiritual healing.
It teaches you how to get your body and energy into focused balance.

Therefore to reach true healing, they all start with Meditation. Meditation is the key to finding yourself, and finding your inner self. We are all organic beings, and much more than that,
we are energy!!!

Each technique incorporates one or another in a different way. One book I found really
interesting is by Eric Pepin, called "Meditation within Eternity; The Modern Mystics Guide to Gaining Unlimited Spiritual Energy". Which can be found in my store, under Meditation.
He also has a YouTube channal that really helps, and if you buy his book you will also get Free bonues of How to Meditate, with instructions (audio) and soothing music.

MEDITATION VIDEOS
This is the link for Eric Pepin"s YouTube channel; https://www.youtube.com/feed/UCDomIMk6FcRrj5z3aOFVkcw

MIRACLE MEDITATION VIDEO;
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TySC8sUIMvU&list=UU38uHPUWMpPmgVT5_D4F3zQ

Another one is "White Light Meditation / How to Meditate in ten steps", a really easy guide to Meditation.

Also if you want to know more about Reiki this is the one "All about Reiki: Your Beginner's
Guide to Discouvering What Reiki is, Healing and Self Treatments, Attunements, Your Seven Chakras, Performing Aura Viewings and the Reiki Symbols". Chakras are actually areas in
your body that need to be in balance to be, healthy, happy, wealthy, and get everything you desire.

In these books there are also Yoga moves incorporated to help get in tune with your body.

Here are some videos on Cancer Healing Yoga;

These above are the first ten chapters, you can find the rest on the following channel; https://www.youtube.com/user/YogaforCancer?feature=watch

Some people are more visual, so I figure that the videos would be most helpful.

You will find more items in my store, including the books mentionned above, I've also added
kits and music that can help in Meditation. Under the Meditation category there are books about Reiki, and music as well. I've added some Yoga books and Videos as well.

Please take note that not all of them are for Kindle, some are Paperback, kits, tools and music,
all to help along with the books. It's up to you to see what is really of interest. If it were up to me I would buy almost all of them, yet I don't have enough money for them. You can also download a sample of some of the books before buying them. The sample gives you an idea of the writer's style, and if it"s right for you.

P.S. I'm still writing my book on my Multiple Myeloma Experience....I'll keep you updated as to when it will be available. If you notice in My Store, there are not many books on Multiple
Myeloma, and even less about someone that has gone through the experience of this Cancer.

*****PLEASE GIVE ME COMMENTS AS TO HOW THESE VIDEOS HELPED, AND IF
YOU BUY SOME BOOKS I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO HEAR FROM YOU. THANK YOU, :) *****

You see I haven't had time to get through all of them yet, but will this week when I have time.
I will also keep you posted on to how all of this is beneficial to me also.

BOOST YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM WITH AN INDIAN PLANT NATURALLY

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Thu, 28 Mar 2013 17:53:00 +0000

BOOST YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM

There are many foods that interfere with the working of immune system and various nutrients

and herbs that enhance the immune system.

Amla, or Indian gooseberry, has been used by Indian doctors for many chronic conditions including blood sugar control. Amla is the Hindi name while in Sanskrit, the term used is Amalaki. This edible fruit is well-known for its high content of vitamin C and its potent antioxidant activity, more potent than many other herbs.

IMMUNE SYSTEM; The main function of the immune system is to protect the body against various infections. It is the most important body component that helps in determining one’s state of health. The effectiveness of immune system varies from person to person. In case of weak immune system the person is more susceptible to infections and other health problems. Immune system forms various antibodies that fight against germs. The main components of the immune system are bone marrow, antibodies, cells, lymph nodes, spleen, chemicals, thymus glands and tonsils. Also in the blood we have the white blood cells and plasma cells that attack germs and virises as well. There are many foods that interfere with the working of immune system and various nutrients and herbs that enhance the immune system. The two main herbs that are highly beneficial for immunity enhancement are:

Amla

It is the richest natural source of vitamin C. It is considered as a versatile and powerful antioxidant that protects the body against all types of cancer, fights against virus that is responsible for causing AIDS and HIV. Amla also helps in lowering the blood pressure. Other than a rich source of vitamin C it is a good dietary source of various minerals and amino acids. It is helpful in raising the total protein level and the body weight. Due to its antibacterial and astringent properties it helps to fight against various infections, thus, making the immune system strong. In Ayurveda it is considered as an acrid, cooling, refrigerant, diuretic, laxative and with anabolic effect. Various other benefits of amla are:

Helps in good iron absorption from the dietary sources.

It increases the protein synthesis that strengthens the body muscles.

It provides nourishment to the brain and heart making the nervous system strong and lowering the blood cholesterol.

Helps in better food absorption making the digestive system strong and balances the stomach acid

It is considered best tonic for eyes .

Radiation protection

Sperm protection from toxins and drugs

It strengthens the liver and helps in the easy removal of toxins and morbid matter from the body.

It is also responsible for strengthening the hair, nails, bones and teeth.

It prevents the premature graying of hair and dandruff.

All these benefits make amla a strong immune enhancer

Ashwagandha

In Ayurveda the herb ashwagandha is believed to have anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, anti-stress, anti-oxidant, rejuvenating, aphrodisiac and immune enhancing properties. It is considered as an adaptogen that stimulates the immune system and improves the memory. It also helps to fight against stress due to its anti-stress properties.

It increases the count of white blood cells and prepares the body to produce antigens against various infections and allergies.

It is also considered as a tonic for the heart and lungs as its regular intake controls the blood pressure and regulates the heartbeat.

It has a strong nourishing and protective effect on the nervous system. Various other benefits of ashwagandha are:

It reduces the inflammation of the joints, eases arthritis and increases the energy level of body.

It is also considered as a sex stimulant for both men and women

It helps in preventing miscarriages in pregnant women by balancing the hormones that stabilizes the pregnancy

Its regular use helps in the maintaining the sugar and cholestorol levels

It is the only herb that supports the immune system of HIV patients.

It has been used in prolonging life, improving overall health, enhancing mental function, increasing fertility and libido, augmenting physical energy, and preventing infections. Thus, acting as an immune booster.

I found this article very interesting, a lot of people prefer an alternative method to keep healthy. There also have been many tests done on animals and humans that prove this works. Yet I have added pictures of the plants, as well as a little information of my own.

"Indian gooseberry has undergone preliminary research, demonstrating in vitro antiviral and antimicrobial properties. There is preliminary evidence in vitro that its extracts induce apoptosis and modify gene expression in osteoclasts involved in rheumatoid arthritis and osteoporosis. It may prove to have potential activity against some cancers One recent animal study found treatment with E. ofﬁcinalis reduced severity of acute pancreatitis (induced by L-arginine in rats). It also promoted the spontaneous repair and regeneration process of the pancreas occurring after an acute attack.

Experimental preparations of leaves, bark or fruit have shown potential efficacy against laboratory models of disease, such as for inflammation, cancer, age-related renal disease, and diabetes.

A human pilot study demonstrated a reduction of blood cholesterol levels in both normal and hypercholesterolemic men with treatment. Another recent study with alloxan-induced diabetic rats given an aqueous amla fruit extract has shown significant decrease of the blood glucose, as well as triglyceridemic levels and an improvement of the liver function caused by a normalization of the liver-specific enzyme alanine transaminase activity."

"In traditional Indian medicine, dried and fresh fruits of the plant are used. All parts of the plant are used in various Ayurvedic/Unani medicine (Jawarish amla) herbal preparations, including the fruit, seed, leaves, root, bark and flowers. According to Ayurveda, aamla fruit is sour (amla) and astringent (kashaya) in taste (rasa), with sweet (madhura), bitter (tikta) and pungent (katu) secondary tastes (anurasas). Its qualities (gunas) are light (laghu) and dry (ruksha), the postdigestive effect (vipaka) is sweet (madhura), and its energy (virya) is cooling (shita)."

I hope that this information is as helpful to you as it was to me.

Thanks for reading, and Have a Good Day!!

ON MARCH 24, 2008 MY MOM DIED (Primary biliary cirrhosis)

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 25 Mar 2013 05:39:00 +0000

It’s already been five (5) years since I’ve lost my best friend, my Mom.

I still can’t believe that I can’t call her to tell her good and bad news, yet in a way I’m glad she’s not around when I learned that I have Cancer. That news would have been very hard on her. I’m selfish to wish she was still here; I would love to hear her voice, her laughter and her advice. I do dream about her often, and each dream is different, yet we are always with other people and she’s there as if she didn’t die. It sometimes feels so real, that when I wake up I seem to think they made a mistake, or she came back in the morgue and she didn’t really die. I miss her so much!!! I wish she was here, yet I know that she’s at a better place now, and watching over us. Some people say that there is a heaven, many have had near death experiences and have come back to tell the tale of what they saw. Some of the people who have had these experiences are not ever believers of God, and yet they have seen him in their experiences. So therefore I’m sure she’s in Heaven, since she was such a good person.

Poem Dedicated to My Mom

Every time that I smile,
Every time that I sigh,
I think of your face, And a tear escapes my eye.
You were my world,
My inspiration and my heart,
But when you left me,
I thought I would fall apart.

You were my best friend,
My one true 'confidante',
And that's not all you were,
You were also my mom.

I know that you’re in a better place
Watching over me But I still miss you so much,
I would have given anything to have you back,
But I know now that it was meant to be.
You were the greatest and did your best
You had no control as to the sickness that you had,
Yet you made the best of it to be there for me
I Love you Mom, and you’ll always be in my heart.

Luv,

Chantal

My Mother had a rare disease called;

"Primary biliary cirrhosis, often abbreviated PBC, is an autoimmune disease of the liver^[1] marked by the slow progressive destruction of the small bile ducts of the liver, with the intralobular ducts (Canals of Hering) affected early in the disease.^[2] When these ducts are damaged, bile builds up in the liver (cholestasis) and over time damages the tissue. This can lead to scarring, fibrosis and cirrhosis. "

The above was taken from Wikipedia.

My mother had a weakened immune system due to her disease, yet she finally died from pneumonia.

Until next time.....

CANCER, New Alternative Therapy

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Thu, 21 Mar 2013 01:14:00 +0000

The following may really surprise you as it did myself....I thought that this natural product was mostly miraculus as a topical treatment...but can do so much more.

This natural cancer treatment is very simple, however it has been endorsed so many times with real facts. The formula is very easy and cheap and you can prepare it at home!!

Created in the amazonian forest, by a Brazilian monk, a new natural treatment to cure and to prevent cancer, seems to be an interesting alternative in the fight against cancer. The priest affirms, he has obtained real results in several types to cancer : brest cancer, uterus cance, stomache cancer, skin cancer, prostate cancer, etc. The formula is simple, cheap and easy to prepare it at home and even though extensive clinical studies do not exist on this procedure, it seems to be a sensible alternative to try

ALOE Vera -One of the components of the formula is Aloe Vera (sábila) whose medicinal properties have been investigated for a long time :

“It has been proven that Aloe Vera is effective as a cancer treatment in animals. In fact, in 1992, the U.S. Department of Agriculture approved the use of Aloe Vera for the treatment of soft tissue cancer in animals as well as feline leukemia. There is strong scientific proof that, in vitro, Aloe Vera suppresses the growing of cancer tumor, stimulates the immune system response, raises tumor necrosis levels, and promotes healthy tissue”.

“Aloe Vera helps to lower the damage done to the body by treatments such as radiation and chemotherapy, which destroy healthy immune system cells that are very important for the body's recovery. With the use of Aloe Vera, the immune system is boosted, tumors shrink, metastases are reduced so the cancer does not spread, and renew”

“In 1997, University of San Antonio researcher Jeremiah Herlihy, Ph.D., conducted a study to observe any negative effects of drinking aloe daily. Rather than exhibiting negative effects, however, test animals receiving daily aloe showed a remarkable reduction in leukemia, heart disease, and kidney disease. Dr. Herlihy concluded, "We found no indication of harm done to the rats even at high levels." In fact, the aloe-drinking animals actually lived 25 percent longer than those in the control group” Other components are bee honey and "cañazo" (rum, or any distilled liqueur).

HONEY Medicine may be increasingly high-tech, but the latest wonder treatment which is being offered to patients is — honey.
Last week, it was announced that bandages soaked in manuka honey are to be given to mouth cancer patients at the Christie Hospital in Manchester to reduce their chances of contracting the MRSA superbug and to lessen wound inflammation following surgery. This is just the latest study investigating this particular type of honey's healing powers.
It is used routinely at the Manchester Royal Infirmary for dressing wounds, and other research has found it can fight gum disease, ease digestive problems and soothe sore throats.
All honey contains hydrogen peroxide, a substance once used as a wound disinfectant in hospitals — it comes from an enzyme that bees add to nectar. It also contains the enzyme glucose oxidase, which boosts its anti-bacterial properties.
This was recognised by the ancient Egyptians and Greeks, who used honey to help heal burns and sores.
Aloe, bee honey and rum are mixed and a syrup is obtained that must be consumed daily. It is important to use "fresh pulp of the plant Aloe Vera, including the rind. (to retire the thorns). Nonextracts or commercial products of Aloe Vera. In order to avoid the poisonous effect of the plant Aloe Vera, the treatment must be alternated : 10 days of treatment, 10 days free or of rest. Never long treatments. The treatment can be used single or complementing chemotherapy processes. An ample and detailed description of the treatment can be found at : The Miracle of Sharing
Other Diseases
This treatment also can be useful for autoimmune and digestive diseases. (irritable bowl syndrome, ulcerative colitis, esophagitis, peptic ulcer, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, mouth lesions, sore throat,lupus, etc.)
Remark All information is general in nature and is not intended to be used as a substitute for appropriate professional advice and the reader assumes all risks from the use, non use or minuse of this information.

Look in my books for some that talk about ALOE VERA as a cure for many ailements.
Especially look for the following two;

Books by Father Romano Zago

Caner can be Cured!!
Aloe isn't Medicine Yet....it cures!!

http://astore.amazon.com/alternheali0e-20

I will also be coming out with a book on all the findings of this Miracle treatment, and will also try it out myself. I will keep you posted as to how it works out and when my book will come out. The article that I have written above are about just some findings, there is a lot more on the subject of Aloe Vera.

Until next time soon...

Introduction
Traditionally, the first response for Americans to any type of medical issue is conventional medicine. There is, however, another option. Alternative medicine is sometimes considered the oldest medicine in the world.
Alternative medicine envelops the concept of seeking out non-traditional ways to deal with day-to-day health issues. This type of medicine looks beyond taking medication.
People look to use alternative medicine for two main reasons. The first is because of the idea that taking medications can potentially lead to unhealthy results such as dependencies and side effects. The second is because of the natural curiosity of man to find better methods to heal.
Alternative medicine encompasses many different therapies, such as hypnosis, color therapy, yoga, meditation, herbal remedies, vitamin therapy, and many more.
The main focus of alternative medicine is that life is a combination of parts that includes more than the treatment of disease. There is a definite focus on living life well, happily, and with purpose. It is believed that this is an essential part of healthy living.
This guide will explore the many different components of alternative medicine, and how it can help you. Consider using the ideas captured here next time you feel ill to begin feeling better naturally.

Chapter 1
Alternative Medicine & Its History
Treatments Beyond Conventional
When most people get sick, they look to conventional methods of medical treatment for relief and healing. There are alternative methods to treatment that are becoming increasingly popular.
What treatments are considered “conventional?” Prescription medication, traditional surgery, and computerized scientific testing are three examples of conventional medicine. Most physicians support conventional medicine in their practices, so when seeing a doctor, it is highly likely you will be advised to follow conventional medical advise.
The decision to use conventional medicine should be made by the patient and doctor on a case by case basis. An alteration to the type of treatment is sometimes all that is needed to feel better.
Alternative treatments include:
•Herbal remedies
•Massage
•Meditation
•Acupuncture
•Many more!

Patients will often find themselves turning to alternative methods of treatment when conventional methods are ineffective or a medical problem has been
4
deemed untreatable. Alternative treatments are designed to not only aid in pain relief, but also reduce stress and tension that can worsen chronic pain.
Alternative methods of treatment focus on the whole person; body and soul. Convention methods strictly focus on the physical problems alone. For alternative methods to be effective, the patient must be motivated and believe in the alternative treatment’s ability to work.
Of course, any serious, life-threatening health problem should blend conventional and alternative methods for a comprehensive approach. Be sure to consult with your doctor to avoid complications. If planned well, you can take advantage of best of both types of medicine for a life that is comfortable and enjoyable.
Alternative Medicine History & Theory
Thousands of years ago, all medicine was “alternative medicine.” Before modern science, healers would consider the full picture - emotional, physical, and spiritual – before healing a sick person.
This is one of the main differences between modern conventional medicine and alternative medicine. Alternative medicine does not look for the instant cure for the physical problem, rather is looks more at a long-term solution that includes the whole self.
Just a few centuries ago in Europe there were two types of healers; folk healers that used old tried-and-true methods, and professional physicians. The lower classes did not have the money to pay for the professional physicians, but they used the folk healers and it worked.
In North America, philosophy and religion were often used to help folk healers provide holistic treatments.
The conventional medicine that we have today has evolved from the days of folk healers and alternative medicine. Many conventional physician support different
5
types of holistic treatments in the overall wellness plan for their patients. The reason that alternative medicine has stood the test of time is because it works!
Ancient Chinese Medicine
Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) includes acupuncture, Qigong, herbal treatments, deep massage, and more. More than 25% of the world’s population practices TCM.
Several reputable groups, such as the World Health Organization and the National Institute of Health, find traditional Chinese medicine to be a viable alternative to contemporary medicine.
Many parts of TCM began well over 3,000 years ago in China. The focus of TCM is Qi (pronounced “Chee”), which is the body’s energy that connects it to the world around us. It is believed that all disorders and bodily problems are caused by the misalignment of Qi. Acupuncture is one of the most widely recognized methods of bringing the Qi into alignment.
Herbal remedies are popular in traditional Chinese medicine. They are used to relax and calm the patient’s emotions to avoid depression, and provide a more positive outlook on the illness. This helps tremendously in the healing process. Ginseng and herbal green tea are the most popular herbal remedies in China.
Exercise, mainly Qigong (pronounce “Chee Kung”), is also an important part of traditional Chinese medicine. Qigong involves posture, meditation, and slow, calculated body movements.
Tibetan Medicine
Tibetan Medicine is almost solely based on herbal remedies, and has been around for over 2,500 years. It is called “gSoba Rig-pa”. Tibetans mostly live in
6
India because they have been in exile since the late 1950’s. They practice Tibetan Buddhism.
There is a Tibetan Medical Institute in Northern India, where doctors studying Tibetan medicine attend for 7 years before earning a degree.
The underlying belief in Tibetan medicine is that all illnesses are caused by poisonous thinking which include dread, denial, and want. This concept ties to the principles of Buddhist philosophy.
The three poisonous thoughts are believed to be caused by poor diet, inappropriate behavior, and the imbalance of time and season. This concept is more complicated than this, but this simplification will give a general sense of it.
Cures are linked to all systems of the body working together. The elimination of sweat, feces and urine contributes to this harmony.
Similar to the Chinese “Qi”, the Tibetans have the Rlung, which is the overall life force that connects us to the universe. Rlung has five types:
1.Centered in the brain. Life grasping – controls breathing, intellect, sneezing and swallowing.
2.Centered in the chest. Upward moving – controls verbal ability and stamina.
3.Centered in the heart. All pervading – controls all movement like that of the orifices of the body and walking.
4.Centered in the stomach. Fire accompanying – controls digestion and metabolism.
5.Centered in the rectum. Downward cleansing – controls everything that is expelled from the body, such as babies, menstrual blood or semen.
7
Tibetan medicine usually handles sickness diagnosis by analysis of the tongue and urine. The spiritual element is also at play in Tibetan medicine, with much attention spent focusing on the type and temperament of spirits in the body.
American Indian Medicine (aka Native American Medicine)
North American Indian tribes have been practicing medicine for what some claim to be over 40,000 years. The medical information and techniques are handed down from generation to generation; ensure the longevity of the practice.
Some remedies are tribe-specific, although all tribal medicine is called Native American Medicine, collectively. Native Americans believe that man is one with nature and that the elements provide strength and can cure disease.
It is fascinating to note that at the same time that Native American medicine was being practiced in North America, Traditional Chinese Medicine was being practiced a half a world away. Ayurveda (medicine practiced in India), was also practiced at this time, and will be covered next.
All of these traditional medical practices are based on the same fundamental belief that a person’s lifestyle and environment should be taken into consideration before choosing a treatment path. There are subtle differences between the practices that are specific to the region.
Native American medicine recognizes a purification procedure involving herbal smoke before and after treatment. Treatments include the use of sage and cedar smoke to repel negative energy. Negative energy is considered the pain released by someone who is ill, or the pain that the healer takes on themselves from their patients. Therapeutic touch is used. Singing, chanting, drums and rattles accompany the healing during the session.
Ayurvedic Medicine
8
Ayurvedic Medicine is practiced in India, and focuses on natural healing. Practitioners believe that it is important for the body to be balanced, and all medicines are based on vegetables and minerals, with the active ingredients from plant alkaloids.
In Ayurvedic Medicine there is the belief that there are three elements in the body, called Kapha, Pitta, and Vata, that cause disease.
1.Kapha: This energy is caused by the lack of stabilizing the balance in the body. These are commonly called viruses by Westerners.
2.Pitta: This energy supports vision, temperature, hunger, thirst, intelligence, and happiness. When out of alignment, the outcomes include weight fluctuation, dehydration, depression, digestive issues, and apathy.
3.Vata: This energy keeps the overall balance between the earth, sky and world around us in check with ourselves. If it falls out of balance, sickness is invited in.
Disease is called Vyaadhi, and it is treated by focusing on the imbalance of elements.

Chapter 2
Alternative Treatment Options
Homeopathy Treatments
Homeopathy is defined as an organic system of medicine that is based on three main ideas:
1.Like cures like
2.Minimal dosing
3.One time remedies

Alternative medicine traditionally has the least amount of “active” ingredient possible, with the concept of using one single remedy irregardless of how many symptoms are presenting. Homeopathy focuses on the least amount of treatments for better health.
There are several reasons why homeopathy is the second most popular form of medicine (after conventional medicine). The most popular reasons are:
•It is extremely natural and safe
•The results are permanent
•It is effective
•You can take most homeopathic medicines along with conventional medicine without side effects
•It is non-addictive
10
Homeopathy is a precise science, which is why it sometimes takes longer to find exactly the right medicine for your illness. Alternative medicine spends time asking questions about symptoms and the root cause of the illness in an effort to make a clear diagnosis for the problem, and treat it effectively.
Herbal Remedies
Nature provides many cures and treatments for ailments of all kinds. Each region has its own native plants that are used in alternative medicine.
When buying herbs for medicinal purposes, it is suggested that you use herbs from an herbal shop. Herb strength varies depending on the way in which they are grown, so until you are familiar with growing techniques for medicinal herbs, purchasing from a professional is recommended.
The following list provides herbal cures to common ailments:
•Acne and skin blemishes.
Wash your face and rub a clove of garlic that has been cut in half. Or, mix lavender with witch hazel at a 1:10 ratio. Tea tree oil can be substituted in place of the lavender.
•Anxiety and stress.
Lavender pure essential oil soaked onto a cotton cloth, heated, and folded into a compress. Apply to head or neck.
•Bruises and contusions.
Boil hyssop flowers and leaves into a tincture. Filter liquid, and soak a cotton compress. Apply to bruised area by applying pressure. The hyssop, heat and pressure combination will reduce the bruise.
•Burns.

11
Minor burns can be treated with comfrey or aloe juice. Simply rub aloe juice into burned area. Comfrey can be crushed into a fine powder, mixed with equal parts of melted beeswax, and added to vegetable oil. Simmer over low heat for 20 minutes, and then strain mixture.
•Warts.
Either use a cut piece of garlic, placed directly on the wart or, for a less odorous cure, try dandelion juice applied repeatedly throughout the day.
Herbal Teas
An age old remedy, herbal teas are used to soothe and relive pain and stress. Many teas are actually a tincture rather than a tea. A tincture is a thicker tea that is herb-dense and is infused instead of steeped.
The following list is a list of conditions and herbal tea remedies:
•Anemia.
Drink a tincture made from boiled stinging nettle leaves.
•Arthritis.
Drink a tincture of devil’s claw, juniper, birch, or celery seed (not the type on your spice rack).
•Chemotherapy side effects.
Drink a tincture of Siberian ginseng root. It soothes the insides and relieves fatigue.
•Colic in babies.
Add less than 10 drops of dill and fennel tincture to their bottle.
•Constipation.
12
Drink a liter of rhubarb root per day.
•Cough.
Drink a tea made from garlic bulbs and ribwort leaves.
•Depression.
Drink a tincture daily made from the ground up oat plant and St. John’s wart flowers.
•Fever.
Drink a hot tea made of lemon balm, yarrow, and ginger.
•Gas.
Drink a tea made of caraway, fennel, ginger, and peppermint.
•Flu symptoms.
Drink a tincture made of Echinacea, yarrow, and catnip.

Vitamins & Minerals
Taking a vitamin supplement is not a substitution for eating healthfully. However, it does serve as insurance to be certain that you are getting all of the vitamins and minerals that your body needs.
Vitamins are essential to the optimized functioning of your body. Without sufficient vitamins, for example, your blood will not clot. You need vitamins to fight colds, and boost your immune system.
It is best to take a homeopathic test to determine the vitamins that you need. This will avoid a dangerous overdose. Then you can take the vitamins you need individually, as needed, and avoid a multi-vitamin, which is chockfull of fillers. This method will save you money, too.
13
Bee Therapy (aka Apitherapy)
The practice of Apitherapy is the use of bee stings, bee pollen, propolis, royal jelly, and honey to treat a variety of aliments. While there has not been extensive testing in the scientific world to validate the claims of apitherapists, history proves that the treatments provide relief.
There are five honeybee products that are used in apitherapy:
1.Venom: A practitioner will aid the patient in injecting or being stung by bees in the affected area. The venom is used to provide relief for conditions such as tendonitis, Multiple Sclerosis, and degenerative bone disease. It works because the venom is a natural anti-inflammatory which is more potent then others available to conventional medicine such as hydrocortisone. You must get tested to be certain that you are not allergic to beestings prior to exposing yourself to bee venom.
2.Pollen: A natural energy supplement that is also used as a seasonal allergy aid. It is also believed to slow down the development of wrinkles.
3.Raw Honey: A source of quick energy, raw honey is used for many cures. It can even be used as a salve on top of an open wound to avoid the spread of bacteria.
4.Royal Jelly: Is the milky white substance that the worker bees produce to feed the queen. While unsubstantiated, this substance is used as a beauty aid and is believed to help lower cholesterol.
5.Propolis: Is the glue used to keep the hives together and make repairs. Propolis is made from the sap of poplar and conifer trees. It is used to make lip balm and salves, and is considered to be an antioxidant.
14
Iridology
Iridology is name for the practice of determining a person’s toxicity based on the color of their iris. This concept goes back to Sweden and Hungary where physicians used it to gauge disease in their patients.
For centuries, famous physicians and scientists, all the way back to the Greek physician Hippocrates, have found the people with injuries get black marks across the iris of their eye. These marks later disappear as the person’s ailments heal.
In today’s world, iridology is used as a preventative measure to gauge if there is a change in a person’s health. It is unfortunate that iridology cannot be used to identify a specific disease.
The way in which iridology is practiced today is that the colored part of the eye (the iris) is carefully photographed using a strong camera lens. It is painless, and it takes about an hour to complete. The photos are then enlarged, and a trained professional iridologist studies it for signs of possible illness.
Even conventional doctors use the eyes as an early warning sign of bad things going on inside of the body. This study is just the more focused analysis of the iris when looking for signs of degenerative health issues.
Meditation in Healing
Meditation is a skill that is learned. Once you know how to do it properly, it can be used to greatly improve your quality of life and health.
The benefits of meditation are an increased level of energy, a more positive attitude, a better immune health, better sleep quality, and the slowing of the aging process.
To take advantage of the maximum benefit, meditate for at least 20 minutes per day prior to bedtime.
15
Follow these steps for meditating. First, sit down and get comfortable in a quiet room. Keep your back and neck straight, and clear your mind so that you are focusing on the present moment.
Then become aware of your breathing. Breathe in and out of your mouth, and pay attention to your stomach rising and falling.
If thoughts come into your head, acknowledge them and let the pass through your mind. Remain conscious of your breathing and relax. If your thoughts carry you away, don’t get frustrated. Simply return back to focusing on your breathing.
When your time meditating is finished, become aware of your surroundings and stand up slowly.
Meditation is a wonderful way to instantly relax yourself and reenter your being. It is the perfect supplement to any treatment, both alternative and contemporary. This deep relaxation technique will help remove stress and anxiety from life. Reduced stress can only help healing.
Tai Chi & Yoga
Tai Chi is a very gentle form of exercise that anyone can do. Since most people spend most of their time sitting, it is imperative that regular exercise become a part of their daily routine. Tai Chi can become that daily movement.
Exercise helps by improving circulatory function, reducing headache tension, lowering blood pressure, and eliminating chronic back and neck pain.
Tai Chi is a series of movements and stretches that anyone can do from any position, even sitting. The exercise will improve posture, stamina, and flexibility.
Movements in Tai Chi are slow and deliberate, and easy to learn. Attending a class is the best way to learn Tai Chi. Do not worry about not being in shape; Tai Chi is known to be an exercise that is done by all types of people, of all ages.
16
Yoga
Yoga is a great exercise activity for all types of people. It is not difficult, but you do have to want to learn about it. The main goal of yoga is to create a balanced relationship between you physical and mental health.
Yoga is a way of life that is carried throughout the day, not just while in yoga class. Yoga creates an awareness of yourself and your day to day life. This is a drastic change to many people who often live on autopilot.
You can decide how you want to use yoga, for its basic purpose of bringing together mind and body, or as more of a strenuous activity for exercise purposes.
In yoga, it is best to start out at the lowest level possible and work your way up as you develop strength and understanding. Just like most other things, it is important to know the foundational concepts before branching out into more difficult territory,
You can take instructor-led classes, or learn at home through the wide variety of DVDs.
Birkram Yoga
Birkram yoga is also known as “hot yoga”, mainly because it is practiced in a space that has been heated to over 115 degrees. Hot yoga mainly focuses on stretches and balance. It also is filled with moves that create pressure in the body that blocks circulation. By going through the movements, the constant build up of pressure created by stretching are then released, providing a rush of blood through the veins. This is believed to clean them out.
There are 26 poses in hot yoga. The purpose for the hot environment in Birkram yoga is the warmth warms the body’s muscles and tendons which aids in flexibility.
17
There are a few tips for people considering this type of yoga. First, because it is practiced in a hot room, you will sweat a lot. It is best to wear appropriate light clothing. It is also a good idea to drink plenty of water prior to your session.
Hatha Yoga
The main focus of Hatha yoga is breathing, meditation, and posture. The practice of this form of yoga is perfect for people that are new to it. Hatha yoga has more of a strong emphasis on the mental component of meditation, mixed in with yoga.
Karma Yoga
The Karma form of yoga pulls together the spiritual and physical worlds. The fundamentals of Karma yoga are based in the Hindu philosophy and religion. It combines two competing philosophies in the world; from the West – that life should be pleasure based, and from the East – that life should be lived for knowledge. Both theories are blended in karma.
Your karma growth is dependant on how you live your life. Bad karma comes from living your life for the purpose of money, wealth, and material possessions. Good karma comes from living your life for happiness and love.
Karma yoga helps you focus on your life as you learn about you life goals, and helps guide you in the right direction.
Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP)
Neuro Linguistic Programming can be considered the power of positive thought and prayer. It is well documented throughout science and medicine that having a positive attitude, outlook, and having a positive support system surround you is one of the most effective alternative medicines available.
18
NLP is a method of programming your thoughts in order to be positive. This technique focuses on your sub-conscious and your dreams. It is imperative to truly believe that you can heal yourself for NLP to work.
How do you practice NLP? First, take a strategy that you know creates success in other areas of your life, and apply it to your healing process. You absolutely must have faith in your body’s healing ability for this to work.
Muscular and Skeletal Alternative Medicine
There are numerous other alternative treatments for the skeletal and muscular systems of the body. They include:
1.Kinesiology
Professionals test the various muscles throughout the body to determine areas that are not balanced properly, and then restore balance by using a variety of techniques.
2.Rolfing
Rolfing is the use of pressure to massage the connective tissue within the body. This allows for the body to be more flexible and be aligned properly. Rolfing will provide more energy and less anxiety.
3.Massage Therapy
Massage therapy is used to break up the knotted muscles, and to retrain the muscles. It works the ligaments, tendons, and soft tissue muscles. Massage therapy increases circulation and improves breathing.
4.Color therapy
Color therapy uses color and light to treat ailments. Often considered a complementary treatment, color therapy is used in addition to other treatment.
19
There are seven colors that correspond to the wavelength centers of the body. Each color is matched with a region of the body.
5.Magnetic energy
The use of magnetic energy fields to, as magnetic therapists believe, to manipulate cells with magnetic energy. They also believe they can recharge cells. Magnetic energy can also increase blood flow that will then reduce scars on organs, provide migraine relief, and other reoccurring pain.
6.Craniosacral therapy (CST)
The craniosacral system is the membranes and fluid that envelopes the brain and spinal cord. By applying gentle pressure to the head, the rhythm of the cranioscaral system can be evaluated and in some ways manipulated. This improves the flow and function of the central nervous system. This treatment is used in alternative medicine as a preventative measure. Professional craniosacral therapy practitioners believe they can locate and release energy cysts by unblocking them and realigning the neck.
Acupuncture
In acupuncture, thin needles are inserted into the skin to draw nerve stimulation at pinpointed locations around the body. Acupuncture is a Chinese medical procedure that involves Dao – the advocate for living in balance and moderation, with ying and yang – two life elements that are apposing forces that when balanced brings good health and happiness. Acupuncture brings relief of pain, aids respiratory illnesses, and relieves headaches and ulcers, among other physical issues. It also balances the qi life force.
20
Reiki
Reiki is the practice of transferring healing energy from the healer’s hands to the ill person. This can be done hands-on and from a distance. The healer is believed to be full of universal energy. It is thought that the practitioner can use Reiki energy to alter the frequency of the aura. Healing is achieved first physically, then emotionally, and finally spiritually.
Crystals: A Tool for Healing
Crystals have long been associated with alternative healing. A crystal is created when crystalline is formed by minerals being arranged in a precise pattern. Quartz is the most popular crystal. The belief behind the use of crystals is that blocked energy will be released when the crystal is placed at specific points around the body.

Chapter 3
Overall Treatment Plans & Additional Tips
Five Ways to Bring the Mind, Body & Spirit Together
Mind and body are easily defined, but what is the “spirit” of you? The spirit, or soul, can be considered the part of you that is spiritually passionate. What makes you passionate? Here are a few ideas that can help you decide:
1.Look forward to something that you can anticipate.
2.Create a happy place where you can go when you meditate.
3.Reminisce about your successes.
4.Find something that relieves your stress and do it.
5.Explore your future goals – not money related.
Kama-Sutra
The Kama-Sutra is ancient text about sexual health that was written sometime between the 1st and 6th century in India. There are 35 chapters that cover everything from how to find a wife, to how to perform in bed, to how to make yourself attractive to others.
Sections of the book cover the relationship between diet and sexual wellbeing. Wholesome, nutritious foods are specifically referenced. Histamines are recommended, through food, for increased sexual pleasure.
Breathing techniques are stressed. This helps ease stress and improves overall sexual health.
22
Feng Shui
Feng Shui is the concept of bring nature and natural patterns and surroundings into our homes and everyday lives. This will bring harmony and peaceful alignment with the world.
Feng Shui brings together all of the elements. Fire, earth, air, and water, and the additional “metal”, are represented inside the home by the selection of lighting, scents, sounds, and the placement of furniture and fixtures.
The underlying concept is that the qi, or life force, must be able to move freely in a room. Therefore, the location of furniture, for example, is important.
Chiropractics
Chiropractics is an alternative medicinal practice that is now considered conventional. The main theory behind chiropractics is that the vertebrate of the spine is not in alignment. It is believed that this misalignment causes many diseases and disorders throughout the body.
Chiropractors use pressure to realign and adjust the spine. Most chiropractors also look at the whole picture – stress, lifestyle choices, and overall health – when recommending treatment.
Chiropractors have been known to heal a wide range of medical problems through their work on patient’s backs. Asthma, migraines, arthritis and more issues can all be positively impacted.
This treatment is safe and usually inexpensive. It is non-evasive. Going to a chiropractor will certainly require regular visits because your issues will not be fully treated in just one session.
23
Biofeedback
Biofeedback is a tool used to gauge internal function, then determine treatment, and then gauge if treatment is working properly. Similar to a thermometer or scale to measure the body weight or if there is a fever, biofeedback is garnered through tools.
The body function that it is measuring is activity that one cannot voluntarily control, such as blood pressure and brain wavelengths.
The main recommendation in alternative health for biofeedback is usually relaxation. This reduces the heart rate, calms the brain, and greatly impacts the affected parts of the body.
Using Alternative Medicine in Children
Sometimes conventional treatments are not an option for children. One example of when alternative medicines are a viable option for children is when they refuse to take their over-the-counter medication. They might be more willing to take an herbal remedy because it is something different.
Consider discussing with your conventional doctor these supplementary treatments for children:
•Acupuncture
The needles release endorphins to the brain which can help kids with asthma, and reduce other pains.
•Hypnosis
This technique might give a child more discipline regarding the regular administration of their conventional medication.
•Relaxation techniques and massage
24
This can help kids with asthma deal with constricting airways. Massage can help relax the stress surround asthma as well. Breathing techniques can help kids feel in control of their breathing. Kids with more serious diseases such as diabetes and cancer can use the relaxing benefits of massage to relieve stress and help maintain a positive outlook.
Always do plenty of research and consult with your child’s doctor before beginning any alternative medical techniques.
Gender-Specific Alternative Medicine
Men and women each have their own medical needs specific to their gender. It is wise to consider what areas of alternative medicine are best geared for your gender.
For women, issues related to menstruation – such as regular menstruation and PMS are always hot topics. For these issues, women have the following homeopathic options:
•Acupuncture
•Chinese medicinal herbs & herbal teas
•Osteopathy
•Crystal therapy
•Yoga
•Hypnosis
For men, issues around prostate health and overall wellbeing can involve an alternative approach. Men have these choices:
25
•Yoga
•Acupuncture
•Herbal treatments
Men and women both need to care for their health. A proactive, homeopathic approach will ensure a happy, healthy life.
Homeopathic Weight Loss
There are alternative techniques that can be used in the fight to lose unwanted pounds. Of course, just like in conventional medicine, there is no magic pill. However, the standard “eat well, be more active” technique of losing weight can be enhanced with alternative medicine.
First, you can consider yoga. This exercise is slow and calculated, but the results can be dramatic. When practices wholeheartedly and regularly, you can gain muscle and lose fat.
Acupuncture can reduce food cravings that are sabotaging your weight loss efforts. Teas can help curb cravings as well as detoxify the body.
Follow these tips to lose weight with alternative medicine:
1.Use a juicer to drink your fruits and vegetables.
2.Add Omega-3 to your beverages.
3.
Visit a homeopathic doctor for a nutritional evaluation.
4.
Contact an herbalist for recommendations on alternative teas.
5.
Consider taking bovine or shark cartilage.
6.Hypnosis can be used for behavioral modification.
26
Alternative Medicine and Cancer
People with cancer often look for viable options that they can use to fight this disease. Unfortunately, there is no cure for cancer. Conventional treatments are the most aggressive, and while alternative and conventional medicine should work together to provide a comprehensive medical experience, at this time they do not.
You can use alternative medicine to supplement your conventional cancer treatments. Here are some of the best complementary alternative treatments:
1.Acupuncture: Helps with nausea, tiredness, pain, headaches.
2.Herbal remedies: Ginger, for one, is helpful in dealing with nausea and vomiting caused by chemotherapy.
3.Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is currently being studies as a complementary treatment for radiation therapy.
4.Massage helps relieve fatigue.
One of the biggest benefits of complimentary treatments is that the sick person can take control over their situation and treatment, even if just in a small way. This helps the patient’s chances for survival and improves the quality of life.
As with any medical treatment, consult with your doctor before self-treating. Dangerous and counterproductive side effects can result if treatment is not cohesively planned.
What Happens in an Alternative Treatment Session?
First and foremost, it is essential to pick the right practitioner for you. When selecting your perfect practitioner, be sure to review their credentials because there are many fraudulent practitioners in the alternative medical world.
Follow these tips to find the perfect practitioner:
27
1.Search the phone book and online for local professionals. Select a local group of practitioners.
2.Research this group of practitioners to find out their experience, education, style, and anything else you can about them.
3.Find out what organizations they are affiliated with. The more trade groups, the better.
4.Contact them to ask what specific experience they have with your type of situation.
5.Ask what the treatment process is for your given situation.

The focus of an alternative medicine session is different then what occurs in a conventitional medical session. Here, the practitioner will want to learn about you as a whole person, not just the specific area of injury or concern.
How to Become an Alternative Medical Practitioner
Are you thinking about becoming an alternative medical practitioner? The profession is rewarding and interesting, and provides you with the opportunity to help people. By providing an alternative medicine service, you will be making a difference in the world.
First, you will need to determine which type of alternative medicine you want to practice. Alternative medicine is broken down into seven categories:
1.Dioelectricmagnetic applications
2.Diet
3.Nutrition
4.Lifestyle changes
5.Herbal medicine
28
6.Manual healing
7.Biological treatments

To become a professional alternative medicine practitioner, you will need to successfully complete an accredited program at a registered school. There are many schools that specialize in one area or another of alternative medicine.
Schooling is intensive, and a good program will include years of study and practice, as well as an internship experience.
Once you have completed school and practicum work you will be able to practice your field of study on your own.
Paying for Alternative Medicine
Prices for alternative treatments vary. Most treatments are not covered by insurance, so it is important to discuss actual costs prior to rendering services from a practitioner.
The first step in finding out how to pay for treatment is to call your insurance company to see if they will cover your treatment session. If they do cover, find out the specifics. How many sessions? Is there a specific type of treatment that is only covered?
When you meet your practitioner, one of the first questions to ask is if they accept your type of insurance. If you are not using insurance, you will need to work out alternative payment.
Conclusion
In North America, alternative medicine has experienced an increase in popularity in recent years. Of course, there is controversy surrounding the two big types of medicine; conventional and traditional.
29
With all of the wonderful benefits of alternative medicine, there are some risks associated with it. The follow risks should be considered before using alternative medicine:
1.Unsafe, ineffective, untested substances
2.Listening to exaggerated claims of safety by some unscrupulous businesses
3.Forgoing conventional treatments for serious illnesses to use an alternative treatment.
4.Not disclosing the simultaneous use of both conventional and alternative treatments, possibly creating a negative health situation

It is important to recognize possible risks in alternative medicine. As with anything, if a therapy, product or substance sound like it is too good to be true – then it probably is!
Always research the therapy or substance, as well as any practitioners that you are thinking about using. Check credentials and references, if possible. Because much of the alternative medicine world is unregulated, there are frauds out there that you will need to be weary of.
If you are careful about what you put in your body, and the types of external therapy you solicit, you can make educated choices that will benefit your health greatly.
The best approach is a strategically planned approach that you create and discuss with your doctor. If you are not comfortable talking with your conventional medical doctor about supplementing with alternative medicine treatments, then find one that is open mined about this type of treatment. You will be happy you did.

30
Only once you have research all the different alternative treatments from around the world will you have a full understanding about what options are actually out there. The internet is an excellent place to begin your research journey.

I don't totally agree with everything in this book, but it does have a lot of useful information. A lot of what is in the E-Book I would like to go more in detail about, so....to be continued.....

I also have a link here to an Alternative Clinic in Mexico, which has interesting information as well.

MIND POWER - HOW TO TAP IN TO IT'S FULL POTENTIEL

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 11 Mar 2013 03:22:00 +0000

I am no stranger to self-help books. I’ve read dozens of them over the past few years and I’ve come to same conclusion most of you have – they don’t all really work.

Well, that’s not quite true. There are some shining gems that actually give what they promise and actually provide quality content. And Mind Secrets Exposed is one of those few examples of a great self-help book that actually delivers on its promise.

Greg Frost is the brains behind Mind Secrets Exposed and his latest offering focuses on the enhancing the power of the mind so that it can accomplish great things. Mind Secrets Exposed is a comprehensive guide on harnessing the power of the mind and tapping into its hidden potential and channeling it into success and happiness.

http://chantelle47.mentis.hop.clickbank.net?offer=mse2013

With Mind Secrets Exposed, readers are promised the ability to gain success, wealth, happiness, peace and anything else they would like to accomplish or have. I am glad to say that it doesn’t disappoint. Mind Secrets Exposed comes in two formats – an e-book and an audiobook, the standard for self-help books.

The book is written in a personal and casual manner, such that even the most novice of readers can grasp the concepts easily. Each chapter ends with action steps that provide tips and advice on implementing the chapter’s lessons into the reader’s daily life. These action steps are a welcome addition to the book, as it provides impetus and direction for the reader to take action – this way, the lessons in the book become more than just words and concepts and is turned into actual results.

Mind Secrets Exposed does not provide a quick and dirty scheme for becoming a better person – those books generally deal in myth and are typically not worth your money. Instead, Mind Secrets Exposed can turn you in a better person and a success machine with some investment in time and effort.

Beyond the book itself, Greg Frost has also included Quick Wealth System, which is a fast and easy training program on creating wealth in your life and a monthly newsletter that provides even more content dealing with success, the workings of the brain as well as a motivational and success coaching program.

http://chantelle47.mentis.hop.clickbank.net?offer=mse2013

The monthly newsletter, known as Success Monthly, is another highlight of Mind Secrets Exposed. It is a comprehensive guide on success, motivation and becoming an achiever and its articles and videos cover a wide range of topics that self-help enthusiasts will find incredibly useful. Probably the best feature of Success Monthly is a coaching program that aims to harness and improve your ability to achieve success and greatness. The coaching program is a great addition and supplement to the book itself, adding a more immediate and constant guide for readers who want to accomplish their goals.

Success Monthly is offered via a monthly membership scheme, but the first month is free for anyone who buys Mind Secrets Exposed. While paying a monthly fee might sound like too much of an investment for some, the content provided in the first month is enough to convince me to maintain my membership.

All in all, Mind Secrets Exposed is a fantastic addition to any library and is a must-read for anyone who is interested in unlocking the mind’s full potential. The book promises to turn you into an achiever and a person capable of accomplishing anything and it delivers on that promise in spades.

I heartily recommend this book and it’s a great investment – don’t lose out on your chance to join the ranks of the elite!

Hurry and click on the link below, there's a special that will last only until the 12th of March!!

What's Stops You From Getting The Results You Want Most?

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Sun, 10 Mar 2013 19:48:00 +0000

Sometimes in the course of your day to day business
you stumble upon something that so dramatically
changes your life you just can't help but share it with
other people.

Yesterday was one of those days. I was talking to my
friend Paul Bauer, and he told me about his new course
called the "Secrets of Manifesting". So, I was curious to
know more and asked Paul to send me a copy to evaluate.

And am I glad I did...

I've got to tell you it's one of the most amazing courses
I've ever experienced.

Why is it different?

But it's not just another "How To Get More" course,
it's much more important -- and valuable than that.

In fact, it's probably the most powerful and refreshing
personal development course I've ever seen.

If you're like me, you've tried lots of methods to
create results in your life and some methods work -
some of the time and some don't work at all. But Paul's
course takes you deeper than you've ever experienced
into the nature of consciousness itself.

In other words, its not just about manifesting and "getting
more" - because you've tried that approach many times with
many different methods. Paul points out why that approach
creates such short-term results (and little fulfillment or
satisfaction).

I urge you to listen to a special "Sneak Preview" of what you
can learn from this course and you'll also receive a free
e-book that explains the core reasons that stop you from
having what you want most in life (and how to solve this
age-old problem for good).

Visit this link to grab your copy of Paul's free audio and
e-book - and let me know what you think

Meditation and Power of the Mind!!

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Wed, 06 Mar 2013 09:01:00 +0000

Meditation is a great way to relax and focus on what you really want. I’ve found great resources for this and have tried them and it really helps. The Silva System offers a free trial, which is very helpful. I have also read many books about Meditation and how to help me cure my Cancer (Multiple Myeloma). I haven’t had time yet to put them all in practice yet, since from October 2012 to January I have been sick on and off mostly from infections. I am now really trying to read all the books that I have bought.

The only Meditation that I have done so far is mostly visualization. You can visualize your problems by anything that relates to you, it can be soldiers fighting the bad; I used this as black and white. The white soldiers are the good ones and the black the bad ones. I mostly did this before going to sleep, which is best, and also along with prayers.

This fall I was supposed to have another Stem Cell Transplant, according to my doctor, since she was not seeing the results necessary. She wanted me to be in total Remission, and I absolutely did not want to do the Stem Cell Transplant again. By doing my own Meditations, I think this really helped. You see this summer she announced to me that I was in Remission!!!

Below I will give you the links to the free Silva System and some interesting books to read, hopefully they will help you too. The books are mainly from Amazon.com, and if you have a Kindle they are really less expensive.

This a FREE Meditation Kit to Help get you started.

I have read many sites on Cancer being Hereditary. What I have found out is that, we recieve two genes when born (one from our Mother and one from our Father). Of these two genes there may be one or both that may be predisposed to our having some form of Cancer later on in life. The Cancer gene may be there all of our life, yet a Cancer may only come about later.

What is Cancer? Well it's a gene in our DNA that gets out of control and invades either an organ, blood, tissue, bones etc.. It multiplies to a point that our good cells become practically non-existant.

The most common hereditary Cancers are, breast, colon and ovarian, which are mostly women's Cancers. Others may be present, yet take time to show up. A Sporadic Cancer is one that is not Hereditary.

The reason I was looking this up and writing about it now, is that I've received a call from my Aunt on my Mother's side, and she has the same kind of Cancer as I do. There are many little things in the family that didn't sit well with me concerning blood problems. My Grandmother, my Mother, and one of my Aunts all have Anemia, as well as I do. Anemia is one of the indications that there is something wrong with the blood, it weakens the immune system and makes you more prone to infections.

Therefore it made me ask this question of my Cancer being hereditary. I will look into this furthur and write more about it. Until then here are a couple of sites to look into to about it;

In this site they talk about Generic Cancer Risk, it's very interesting....
