Normalize High Blood Pressure With Garlic and Vitamin C

I just found this information from www.feedyourgenesright.com in the Nutrition Reporter Newsletter. My husband has high blood pressure and I am going out to buy him garlic tablets and Vit C. Hopefully, this will do the trick!!

"Garlic supplements lower blood pressure American researchers investigated the ability of garlic and other supplements to lower blood pres- sure. They focused on 25 young to middle-age subjects, six of whom had marginally elevated blood pressure. A combination of garlic tablets (2,500 mg) and vitamin C (2,000 mg) daily for 10 days normalized blood pressure in the six subjects with hypertension. Garlic alone reduced systolic blood pressure, while vitamin C alone had no effect. In addition, the combination of garlic and vitamin C increased nitric oxide production more than two-fold above the control subjects. Nitric oxide is the principal regulator of blood vessel tone."Technorati Tags: high blood pressure, garlic tablets, vitamin C, hypertension

Tired All The Time - Take Your Vitamins!!!!!

Another example from "Feed Your Genes Right" by John Wiley & Sons. Imagine having so much more energy and stamina just by taking Vitamins!! I have not been one to supplement as I eat very well (mostly raw) but I am now on a multi vitamin and feel fabulous!


...take several supplements, including vitamin B2, coenzyme Q10, and alpha-lipoic acid, all of which are involved in energy production. Suzanne’s energy levels increased slowly, and several months after taking
these supplements, her improved stamina has allowed her to enjoy more activities with her friends and family.

Vitamins Can Help or Cure Many Diseases

I have a book called "Feed Your Genes Right, Eat to Turn Off Disease- Causing Genes and Slow Down Aging" by John Wiley and Sons. It is an extremely interesting book and explains how we need to eat and take care of ourselves. Very interestingly, they give case studies of many people and how they have overcome many diseases with Vitamins. One in particular stood out about Osteoporosis. They increased her Vitamin D, had her walk in the sun for 15-30 minutes a day and do some weight bearing excercises. This increased her bone density. Other examples are:

As brief examples, many different diseases can be prevented or
reversed through a variety of nutritional therapies. Among them are
Alzheimer’s disease (vitamin E), carpal tunnel syndrome (vitamin B6),
macular degeneration (lutein) migraine headache (vitamin B2 or magnesium),
mood disorders (B-complex vitamins), multiple sclerosis
(vitamins D and B12), night blindness (vitamin A), Parkinson’s disease
(coenzyme Q10), periodontal disease (vitamin C), and stroke (vitamin
C). Underlying all of these diseases are damaged or malfunctioning
genes, a consequence of consuming inadequate amounts of the nutritional
precursors to DNA and various biochemicals.

Arnica Cream for Hematomas, Bumps and Bruises

I found this to be very helpful. I had hit my shin against the pool edge and a HUGE bump came up. I used ice for the first few hours and then put arnica cream on it. Very little bruise came up so I figured it was fine and the bump would go away. A few days later I noticed the bump was still fairly large and was showing a friend who worked in a hospital for 15 years. She told me she thought it was very deep and was most likely a hematoma. She told me to apply arnica cream to it fairly often. I have and it is amazing how it is going down daily. Thank you Jen!

Eucalyptus for Popping Ears

When my son was 3, we went to Australia for a year. On the way, he had quite a bit of pain because his ears would not pop as we were landing. We asked the flight attendant if she could give us something. She brought us back a sachet soaked in eucalyptus oil. All he had to do was smell it and his ears popped!! We were thrilled to say the least. When my daughter took her 3 week old son (yes, 3 weeks!) to Canada for a visit. I suggested she take some eucalyptus oil with her just in case Joey had pain. I found some oil for her and she soaked a few cotton balls with it and put it in a baggy. Sure enough, he seemed uncomfortable landing, so she just put it under his nose. No more crying!!!Technorati Tags: eucalyptus oil, pop ears, ear problems, flying

How To Remove Moles With Hydrogen Peroxide

In the book, "Hydrogen Peroxide Medical Miracle" by William Campbell Douglas MD, he talks says,

"Before going to a surgeon to have a mole excised or burned off, try applying three percent hydrogen peroxide to the nevus with a cotton swab twice daily."

I have a bottle of Aerobic Oxygenator or food grade peroxide. I drank 5 drops in water twice a day as well as put 3% H2O on a large mole on my face. A few days later it began getting crusty. At the end of 7 days it was GONE! I was thrilled. I told my husband and he is now taking it for the moles on his back. We will see what happens.

I will be back with more information from this fabulous book. Technorati Tags: Moles, hydrogen peroxide

Dissolve Kidney Stones with Olive Oil and Lime Juice

My husband had a kidney stone a year ago and he drank olive oil and lime juice 2 times a day. He passed it and felt much better. We have since looked into other methods just in case they reappear. The coke and asparagus seems to be one that works but sounds a little scary. So far, no more kidney stones!

Dissolve Kidney Stones with remedies from the Earth Clinic library of cures!

Cyndi from Durham, NC writes, "I have suffered intermittently from kidney stones for nearly 9 years. One was so bad I had to have surgery to remove it. Later, my grandmother was hospitalized with a kidney stone and told me about a home remedy given to her by a nurse and believe me, this really works! Mix 2 oz of olive oil and 2 oz of lemon juice, drink it straight down and follow with a large glass of water at the first sign of stone pain. The stone(s) will pass within 24 hours. I have eliminated at least 8 stones with this remedy and have not gone back to the urologist since I started taking this."

Cure Ringworm With Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV)

We live near Playa del Carmen's Peanut Pet Shelter. They do a fantastic job of looking after over 75 street dogs. There has been an outbreak of Ringworm and the people helping out are picking up some Ringworm. I told them to use ACV and they are able to get rid of it. They are even putting it on the dogs and putting it in the water for the dogs!

Cure Ringworm with natural remedies from Earth Clinic.

Pedro from Campinas, Brazil replies: "Hi Vera,

I don't have any experience and getting rid of ringworms in pets, but I have gotten rid of it on me! I'm assuming ringworm and athletes foot are the same thing (I'm talking about "frieira", in portuguese).

What I did was soak a cottom ball with ACV and place it on the area (with a bandaid if you have to) a couple of times a day for 30 minutes. I did this while on the computer or watching TV. Once done, clean it with H202. Even better if you can leave H2O2 in the area for a while too.

Do this for a few days and the infected skin will peel of. You can stop doing it once everything is good again, but keep an eye on it as it may take a few cycles to get rid of it.

I did it once, and it never came back.

I also take ACV orally, and I think that is key. Skin problems need to be addressed from the inside as well as the outside."

Cure Ulcerative Colitis or Crohn's Disease

I know of someone who has Colitis and will not try this. If I had Colitis, I would definitely give it a try.

Earth Clinic's best remedies to Cure Ulcerative Colitis or Crohn's Disease.

Ted from Bangkok, Thailand replies: "Daniel: An ulcerative colitis is caused by a certain bacteria that is needed to kill them, a baking soda alone and alkalinity would not work as well, without the added magnesium citrate and perhaps some zinc supplements. One simple remedy, which had to do with ulcerative colitis was about a 1/2 teaspoon in one full glass of water using milk of magnesia plus 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda in a full glass of water, would have reduced the pain along its path by killing off, at least initially, but since magnesium hydroxide is poorly absorbed, a magnesium citrate 250 mg/day is still needed along with some zinc acetate supplements.

As to why baking soda causes acid urine, it is a result of the hyperosmolarity of sodium portion of the baking soda causes the acidity inside the cell to rid of easier. Apparently the improvement condition came as a result of intracellular fluids being acid to leave the body in larger amounts causing the extracellular fluids to be acid, resulting in a more acid urine. This little known fact is mentioned in medical enclyclopedia at the time I was reading up on alkalinity. To prevent this kind strange occurance, it means the body needs more alkaline electrolytes using both potassium citrate and magnesium citrate along with the baking soda. Since obtaining potassium citrate are relatively difficult I think it is more easy to find the magnesium citrate, which may be found in the ingredients of some common laxative medicine. However, the dose taken is much smaller than as per instructions on the bottle, about at least anywhere from 1/4 to 1/10 less than whatever is mentioned. But technically a 250 mg of magnesium citrate is about 1/8 teaspoon of magnesium citrate, roughly speaking and that is mixed in 1 full glass of water.

So the simplest possible remedy is 250 mg of magnesium citrate plus 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda with 1 full glass of water.
