Like Cures Like

If you are familiar with the Gaurdian you will have seen the newspapers Bad Science column. This often focuses on alternative medicine, especially homeopathy, accusing homeopath's of being flaky and unscientific. This is ironic since homeopathy is founded on just about the most rigorous scientific research and experimentation you can imagine, thanks to Samual Hahnemann, the doctor who first discovered  the homeopathic principle of "like cures like" in the eighteenth century.

The basis of the scientific method is to formulate is to formulate an hypothesis, i.e a testable conjecture, and then perform experiments which will etheir confirm or disprove it. Only after repeated conformation of the hypothesis do you have a scientific theory. That is exactly what Hahnemann did back in 1790. Whilst translating a book by physician William Cullen, Hahnemann read that Cullen attributed bitter taste or astringency. Doubting that things were this simple, Hahnmann stated dosing himself up with cinchona. He was surprised to discover that he soon developed the symptoms of an intermittent fever - the kind of alternating high temperature, chills and shivering that you get with malaria.

Flue Epidemic

Flue epidemic is upon us once more, with the number of cases reporting twenty five percent of the population within England and Wales in the past week.

Statistics showed for last week there were fifty one GP consultations for flue like symptoms per hundred thousand of the population, this seems to have risen up from forty one percent per hundred thousand during the Christmas week.( Sourced from the BBC health website)

Colon Hydrotherapy the process, a path to detox

The  Cenacle Treatment Centre has two different colon hydrotherapy procedures on offer. Both are uniquely different and cater for different problems the client may have. Each one is carried out on the same device, which has been designed under exclusive specifications; each procedure entails warm water being introduced to the colon and each method relaxes and massages the entire colon with sterilised warm water under specific regulated temperatures.

Before any colon hydrotherapy process begins, the therapist will ask the client to fill in a medical questionnaire. It is important to list everything, as there are some contra-indications that would inhibit someone from going ahead with any of the procedures offered.

Once checked by the therapist and signed by the client, the therapist will then discuss each colon hydrotherapy practice and an informed choice will be made by both parties.

Workers with back pain ’should take self-help measures’

People who start to suffer from back pain at work can take some simple steps to ease the problem and prevent it from getting worse, an osteopathy organisation says.
Workers can take some self-help measures such as painkillers or exercise if the problem is getting in the way of sleeping, according to the British Osteopathic Association (BOA).

A survey by the National Centre for Complementary and Alternative Medicine in the US showed more women than men used these measures in 2007 to treat back and neck pain.

Kelston Chorley, osteopath and head of professional development at the BOA, said if self-help measures do not work, people should visit their GP or osteopath.

The single liver flush

The liver is the largest organ in the body and is vital to the digestive process and metabolism of many of the major food groups such as carbohydrates, proteins and vitamins. It is also involved in filtering out toxins, metabolising drugs and processing hormones. A modern lifestyles can put it under great stress.

This flush is designed to clear the liver of the congestion that builds up due to the stress that its under. This allows for the better processing and elimination of toxins and the bodies natural wastes.

Statins: Too many people are taking them (and they’re doing far less good than you think)

Cholesterol-lowering statins have become one of the most popular ‘just in case’ drugs on the market.  They’re handed out to anyone who may be at risk from developing heart disease – which, in the eyes of the doctor, will be pretty much everyone over the age of fifty or so.  

So it’s not surprising to learn that thirty six million Americans take a statin every day, generating annual sales of $15.5bn for the manufacturers, and making two statins - Lipitor and Zocor - the top two best-selling drugs in the USA.

NLP, EFT and Time Line Therapy can help to unlock past negative emotions.

Many fears, phobias, beliefs and values develop before the age of seven. This is the period when the unconscious mind is learning as much as it can. Unfortunately many of the things that parents, teacher, friends etc say to young  children are based on their own beliefs values and experiences. This can also apply to negative experience in the early years.

However as the child grows into teenage years it begins to form its own beliefs and values which sometimes conflicts with what the child was told when it was younger. This then causes confusion and frustration and as a result the teenager may then become rebellious.

Then,as a child grows who as a adult he or she is allowed to have their own opinions, beliefs and values, although others may disagree, it is not challenged as much.

This is why problems experienced as an adult can often be traced back to having their roots before the age of seven. The use of NLP, EFT and Time Line Therapy can help to unlock these past negative experiences and help the individual more forward in a more positive way.

Fish could reduce a child's chances of developing Eczema

A long term study into the health of children has found that the introduction of fish before the age of nine months could cut the risk of a child developing eczema by a quarter.

The children were all part of an on going health study looking at almost seventeen thousand infants born in 2003 in western Sweeden. Questions were asked about diet, home environment and evidence of eczema when children were six and twelve months old.

At six months old, thirteen percent of the families said their child had already developed eczema. This rose to twenty percent by their first birthday. Children with sibling or mother with ecema were almost twice as likely to be affected by twelve months but whilst breast feeding, the age at which dairy products were introduced and the presence of a fury pet in the home had no detectable influence on eczema; the introduction of fish before nine months cut the risk by twenty five percent.

What is sugar sensitivity

People who are sensitive to sugar almost always have low levels of the neurotransmitters seretonin and beta endorphins. Serotonin helps to regulate mood, impulse control and appetite and so low levels can lead to compulsive tendencies, depression and irritability and creates a biochemical disposition towards sugar addiction.

The consumption of sugar evokes beta-endorphins, which are natural painkillers and that can create a sense of euphoria. They also determine pain tolerance, self esteem and confidence in individuals. So the sugar sensitive person gets an actual high when they ave something sweet and will often find it impossible to stop at one biscuit; they have to have the whole packet.

Life is Sweet

Simple Sugar is the building block of all carbohydrates and is supplied to the blood from the intestines when carbohydrate is digested and absorbed. The height and rapidity of blood-sugar rises are significant factors in insulin response and when a substance such as refined sugar is rapidly absorbed into the blood, blood sugar levels may peak before the body has time to regulate them.( written by Amanda Grigg and Michelle Laud) sourced from camlifestyle
