Vitamins - Synthetic vs. Natural

Synthetic or Natural Vitamins - What's The Difference?
Hold the Fritos, and pass the carrots. Most kids today are not eating what they need for proper growth and general health. According to the September '97 Journal of Pediatrics, only 1% of American children aged 2 to 19 eat healthy diets. With a rapidly growing kid's vitamin industry, it is apparent that more and more parents are turning to vitamins to supplement their children's diets. Do we really know how safe these products are? Can they fully replace the nutrients in spinach or apples? Is there a difference between vitamin products on the market?

What Are Vitamins?
Before we can answer these questions, we must know exactly what vitamins are. In Judith DeCava's book, The Real Truth about Vitamins and Antioxidants, she defines a vitamin as "a complex mechanism...of functional, interrelated, interdependent components. A vitamin consists of, not only the organic nutrient(s) identified as the vitamin, but also enzymes, coenzymes, antioxidants and trace element activators." A vitamin complex is not simply an individual chemical or several chemicals. It must contain all factors that make up the vitamin in its entirety. Just like a car is not four tires, nor a wheel, nor an engine, but rather it is a "car" when all parts are complete and working together.

Two Viewpoints
There are two points of view when it comes to supplements. One is that vitamin parts can be synthesized, in high concentrates (high potency). This is the principle followed by most supplement manufacturers, the majority of which are pharmaceutical companies. These vitamins are termed "synthetic". (Though they can be labeled "natural" even if they come from sugar or coal tar).

The other viewpoint is that vitamins and mineral elements are so complex, and have so many parts that are dependent upon each other, that when separated they no longer can produce a normal nutritional effect on the body. According to this theory, an overdose of any one vitamin, as it occurs with separated out or synthetic vitamins, can be hazardous to the body. Complete vitamins, with all of their parts and necessary cofactors are often termed "whole food vitamins", since they are derived entirely from whole foods.

Vitamin C is Not Simply Ascorbic Acid
An excellent example of the difference between whole food and synthetic supplements, is vitamin C. The majority of books and magazines on the subject of nutrition refer to vitamin C as ascorbic acid. These terms are used interchangeably. However, vitamin C is not simply ascorbic acid. Ascorbic acid is the outer skin of vitamin C, much like the skin of an orange. Vitamin C also contains bioflavonoid complexes, tyrosinase, and several other factors. What do you get if you purchase a synthesized bottle of vitamin C? You are buying ascorbic acid, a small part of vitamin C, manufactured from super-refined corn sugar. Ascorbic acid does have strong effects on the body but is more of a drug than a nutrient. Because your body needs all parts of a vitamin to function, it will leech the other necessary cofactors from itself in order to use the ascorbic acid. This puts a lot of extra stress on your body, according to Dennis Nelson, in his book, Maximizing Nutrition.

Another example of whole food versus synthetic is vitamin B complex. Coal tar is the source of many synthetic B vitamins. Coal tar is not alive, and research confirms that it does not work as well in our bodies as natural sources of B vitamins, such as wheat germ.

What is Best For Our Children?
What is in the best interests for our children? According to many nutritionists, including Dr. Betsy Meshbesher, a nutritionist and owner of a national vitamin company, whole, organic foods in their natural state are best. Feeding your children organic fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds and whole grains instead of potato chips, macaroni and cheese, granola bars and other highly processed foods will give them the nutrients they need to be healthy. What do you do if your child won't eat nearly enough whole foods? Then use whole food vitamins such as wheat germ oil, which provides a substantial amount of vitamin E complex as well as other vital nutrients. Or use rice bran syrup or nutritional yeast, which are excellent sources of the vitamin B complex.

How do we know if the vitamins are working? Let me relate my personal story, which illustrates how I learned the hard way about the efficacy of vitamins. One and a half years ago my daughter was born prematurely. By the time she was three months old she had chronic bronchitis, cradle cap, a persistent diaper rash, and very white porcelain skin. Though she was breastfeeding, it was apparent that she needed additional help. Liquid infant vitamin drops for several weeks did nothing to change her health condition. After thoroughly researching nutrition and consulting with several nutritionists, I started her on cod liver oil (an organic source), which is rich in vitamins A and D; rice bran syrup full of the vitamin Bs, iron, and other essential nutrients; wheat germ oil, rich in vitamin E; a liquid mineral supplement, and a whole food vitamin C tablet, which I crushed. By mixing my breast milk with tiny amounts of all of these nutrients, (as well as acidophilus-healthy bacteria that fight off bad bacteria in the body) she was able to fully recover within two to four weeks.

Her lungs completely cleared and she has not even had a cold in the past year. She has never again had a rash on her bottom. Her cradle cap rapidly disappeared, replaced with beautiful shiny red hair. Her skin changed from white porcelain to beautiful creamy pink. She looks healthier and she is healthier.

In summary, it is best to feed your children the healthiest foods possible because food is the best medicine. However, if your child does not eat well or has a health condition that is not resolving, try whole food concentrates. Skip the funny cartoon vitamins that look and taste like candy. They may actually be harming instead of helping your kids.

Natural Cancer Treatment Vs Conventional Cancer Treatment

During anti cancer treatment (Conventional cancer treatment), it is difficult to protect the healthy cells of side effects caused by the drugs administered. Although the effects of treatment vary according to each patient and the medications used, all cancer patients suffer adverse effects of treatment that affect their skin, look and internal organs. An important part of the work of clinicians and patients is to precisely manage those potential side effects. The role of this article is to summarize the main side effects caused by different types of conventional cancer treatments and potential natural treatment (including nutrition, remedies and immunotherapy). Let’s start with the conventional methods.

There are four (4) types of anti cancer treatment:

Surgery – Surgery, the oldest form of cancer treatment, is used in cancer treatment either to remove only the tumor, or the entire organ. Cancer surgery offers the greatest chance for cure of cancers that have not spread to other parts of the body. However, no matter how successful a surgery can be, it provokes one or all the following side effects: - Risk of wound infection - Damage to internal organs and blood vessels during surgery - Blood clots can form in the deep veins of the legs after surgery, especially if a person remains in bed for a long time - Reactions to anesthesia or other medicines. Although rare, these can be serious because they can cause dangerously low blood pressures. - Problems with other organs, such as the lungs, heart, or kidneys. These are very rare but can happen and can be life-threatening.

Radiotherapy - Radiation therapy is the use of ionizing radiation to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. It can be administered externally (external beam radiotherapy) or internally (brachytherapy). Unfortunately, radiation can cause severe blood changes including drop in production of new blood cells, nausea, anemia and vomiting. Other short/long-term side effects of radiotherapy may include: - Irritation and burning of the skin - Infertility - radiation to the testicles can cause permanent loss of sperm production - Fatigue is a common effect of radiation. It may be linked to anemia or weakened immune system - Brain disorder - radiation therapy to the brain can cause changes in brain function that can lead to memory loss, lower sexual desire, etc. - Skin disorder - radiation therapy can make your skin become tender or sensitive. The skin may also become dry and itchy. Peeling of the skin may occur. - Second cancers – the radiation itself can cause Second cancers (metastases) - Erectile dysfunction - radiation therapy to the pelvis can damage the arteries and nerves that supply the penis and cause problems with erections

Chemotherapy - Chemotherapy is a systemic treatment, its effects affect both healthy cells as cancer cells. Generally, these effects depend to a large proportion of drugs prescribed and their dosage. The anti-cancer drugs quickly affect cell division. This means that the white blood cells, which fight against infection, are also affected. This combination of factors explains why patients are more prone to infections and fatigue or even anemia during cancer treatment. Similarly, this change of cell division causes hair loss or alopecia. Intestinal disorders such as diarrhea, nausea and vomiting, and finally lesions in the mouth (mucositis) can be observed.

Hormonotherapy - Side effects caused by hormonotherapy depend largely on the type of treatment used and prescribed medicines. One of the drugs in hormonotherapy is called Tamoxifen: it has the effect of depriving cancer cells of estrogen. The Tamoxifen can cause hot flashes, irritation or vaginal discharge, nausea and irregular menstruation.

During and after cancer treatment (conventional treatment)

Here are some advices that can help: Keep your diet low in saturated fats. Use mostly unsaturated fats such as fish oil and flax seed oil which are rich in omega 3 fatty acids. Eat fruits and raw vegetables abundantly; fruits and cruciferous vegetables reduce the risk of all types of cancers and their reoccurrences. Increase your intake of calcium; High intake of calcium reduces the risk of certain type of cancers. Maintain a normal weight; too much body fat is associated with a great number of diseases. Eat foods rich in antioxidant nutrients. Do not smoke! Cigarette smoke, including second hand smoke, is the number one cause of lung cancer. Exercise regularly and keep your body hydrated by drinking a lot of fluids daily; Silver water is necessary. Increase your fiber consumption; It is proven in several researches high fiber lower the chances of having colorectal cancers. Reduce stress, anxiety and depression by laughing, praying and singing; prayer is key to opening the door of impossibility.

Natural cancer treatment

Alternative cancer treatment is the use of herbal remedies to address the causes of the cancer (not just the symptoms) and boost the immune system to fight against pathogens and help the body heal itself. Taken regularly, certain natural herbal remedies may help to maintain the healthy functioning of every cell in your body and strengthen the immune system to ensure continued health and vitality. As we all know, a healthy strong immune system is a key element in protecting the body against infection or diseases like cancer, as well as in the promotion of recovery after illness and during cancer treatment.

How to Have Natural Weight Loss Quick

When you think about it, what is the mystery about natural weight loss - if you don't eat too much and have regular physical activity you won't put on weight; most people choose to ignore this advice. This should be an easy concept for the many overweight people around the world; with the number of overweight American citizens increasing, this advice obviously doesn't work. Despite this, most of these overweight people want to be trim again although it is probably more for cosmetic reasons than those related to their health.

The strange thing is though that it is so much easier to stay trim than it is to lose weight because as soon as you start putting on weight, many things become more difficult. Subconsciously we all know that if we do not maintain a healthy food program for ourselves, we will start to add extra pounds. Apparently even if you have lost weight with a calorie controlled diet, it doesn't take long if you come off it to revert to your old ways and you can start watching the pounds go back on again. There are many reasons why you should follow a natural weight loss regime and not become overweight, according to experts.

Most health experts contend that the significance of excess weight is more than cosmetic as it takes a huge toll on a person's physical health. The annoying thing is this isn't rocket science, mankind hasn't always been this heavy and we certainly aren't born that way so it means we need to maintain a natural, healthy weight. Some people worry about what foods they will eat on a natural weight loss program but it is just a case of having a combination of, protein, carbohydrate and fiber. A meal containing this group would be something like a baked potato, vegetables and some meat, lean of course but it would not contain gravy or sour cream.

Dietitians also say that the body has a capacity to retain dietary fat more than calories for regular foods so weight gain is more likely. Don't fall into the fat-free trap where manufacturers keep coming out with low-fat or fat-free versions of their best-selling foods despite the fact that Americans are getting fatter anyway. One of the greatest delusions of the 1990s was that no fat meant non-fattening but the truth is you are often getting just as many calories from these foods; the calories are just not coming from fat.

This is a trap that many people fall into and forget it's about eating from the correct food groups, and if you have to snack make it a small healthy one. Health experts say it would be better to try eating every three to four hours, which may mean a nutritious low-fat snack between lunch and dinner. Determination, will power and belief should be aspects of your natural weight loss program if you really want to look well and be healthy.

Can Natural Herbal Remedies Help Cancer Victims?

Herbals: Can Natural Herbal Remedies Help Cancer Victims?
It is always difficult to promote the use of natural methods to treat this disease. Cancer is a very serious disease, which kills millions of people throughout the world and particularly in the West. Traditional medicine wants to arrogate to itself the exclusive right of scrutiny and treatment in this area. Yet the results are far from satisfying.

The cancer continues to defy the technology of modern medicine and remains, after decades of intensive research, an enigmatic disease, responsible each year of millions of death. While a few types of cancer are now successfully treated, several others remain extremely difficult to fight and are a major cause of mortality. More than ever, finding new ways in which we can improve the effectiveness of current anti-cancer therapies is of paramount importance. The naturotherapy is one of those means. "

Many oncologists recognize naturaltherapy as a preventive mode in order to avoid the development of cancer. They also recommend regular consumption of certain foods as a method to support conventional treatments for those who are undergoing cancer treatment, radiation and chemotherapy. However, for some, herbal remedies or natural cancer treatments have no positive effects on cancers, either preventive or curative.

A global study on a large scale has shown that if each person consumed at least 150g of a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables per day, the risk of cancer would be decreased by 30%. If there were a pill that would fall by 30% the risk of cancer, it is likely that everyone would consume it. Why not try natural remedies? In fact, most plants used in natural remedies can grow in your own backyard (Astragalus, Burdock root, Green tea, for example). Along with natural cancer alternative and/or conventional cancer treatment, alimentation plays an important role in your recovery from cancer.

A good alimentation has not only a significant role in cancer prevention, but can also provide the cancer patient who must undergo chemotherapy or radiotherapy, the means to fight against the aggressor. No treatment can work properly without a healthy diet, either conventional or natural cancer treatment.

The remedies exist in the form of dried or fresh plants for preparation and capsules or liquid ready to use. Of course, it is illegal in the USA to claim that a natural remedy can treat cancer, but we believe it is unfair not to mention these methods, which are supported by some doctors and testimonials patients, have no anticancer properties.

natural herbs to prevent boils

Natural treatments for boils,Boils as "furuncles" in the medical field, are round, pus-filled bumps on the skin caused by a Staphylococcus aureus bacteria infection. The infection usually begins deep in the root of the hair follicle and works its way to the surface of the skin. Boils are very common, especially in children and adolescents.

Boils can be caused by stress, illness, toxicity, allergy, decreased immunity and thyroid imbalance.

Boils are red, tender, painful and appear suddenly. Fever and swelling of the lymph glands nearest the boil may occur. Without treatment, a boil will open, then drain and heal in about 10 to 24 days. With treatment, the life of the boil is reduced and its symptoms are contained and less severe.

Natural Hair Loss Treatments

Nature usually has a solution for most health ailments and the problem with hair loss in no exception.

As with all treatments that you try, if you have a medical condition or are in doubt about your reaction to anything always consult your doctor.

Normally natural treatments do not have the side effects that certain drugs have.

These treatments will not work for everyone, and no two people react the same to certain treatments. Consult your doctor if in doubt about trying anything.

Saw Palmetto

Propecia as Proscar was first developed for treating prostate problems in males. Natures answer to this treatment is Saw Palmetto. Serenoa repens is the medical name for the herb saw palmetto.The deep red fruit of this small palm grows wild in warm climates such as those found in the Southeastern United States.

The liposerolic extract of the fruit of Saw Palmetto is the most popular herbal supplement for the promotion of prostate health in Europe.

Saw Palmetto is found as a main ingredient in most of the commercial hair loss treatments such as Revivoen.

Saw palmetto has been used in Europe for generations, that its safety "has never been seriously questioned," and with the exception of occasional stomach upset, no side effects have been reported. "In particular, use of the extract has not been associated with erectile dysfunction, ejaculatory disturbance, or altered libido as you may get with Propecia.

Proanthocyanidins

Below is a quote from a clinical trial on proanthocyanidins.

They also determined that proanthocyanidins converted the telogen (non-growing) phase of hair growth into the anagen (growing) phase of hair growth. In this experiment, proanthocyanidins displayed hair-cycle-converting activity which was similar to that of minoxidil.

The result being recorded with proanthocyanidins on some treatments is amazing, however trials on hair loss are still at early stages, but well worth checking out.

Although Cayenne Pepper and Capsaicin are very similar I have put them under seperate headings because there is a quite a bit of information about Cayenne which is a very interesting plant.

Tea Tree Oil

The Tea Tree (melaleuca alternifolia) is a member of the Myrtaceae family and is an indigenous species to Northern New South Wales, Australia. The oil is found within the cells of the leaves, and as the Tea Tree is extremely fast-growing it is constantly renewable, ensuring that no trees are harmed or destroyed.

Tea Tree Oil was used as a general antiseptic by the aborigine tribes for thousands of years. Stories were told of a magical lagoon into which tea tree leaves had fallen, where the local tribe bathed in the naturally created bath.

Famous British explorer Captain Cook is held as the man responsible for the name 'tea tree'. In 1770 when he and his men landed at Botany Bay, Cook brewed the leaves of the tree for his men to drink to prevent scurvy.

Tea tree oil can help with deep hair cleansing and dandruff.

Dry hair requires a gentle, non-detergent based product; a 2% solution of tea tree oil in a moisturizing shampoo will help to unblock sebaceous glands and encourage the flow of the body's own moisturizing oils, while clearing away unsightly dead skin cells.

For oily skin, a gentle tea tree oil moisturizing shampoo will help cleanse the scalp of bacterial and fungal irritations and help to disperse dead skin cells.

Tea tree oil mixed with other essential oils is especially good as a scalp treatment for relieving dandruff. Medical professionals list infection, poor diet, blood circulation and inadequate nerve stimulation as some of the causes of dandruff. A yeast that lives on the scalp, Pityrosporum ovale, and a fungus called trichoplyton spp also contributes to dandruff conditions. While there are many anti-fungal and bacterial soaps and shampoos on the market, tea tree oil offers a natural alternative. A recent study indicates that a pharmaceutical grade of a tea tree oil in low concentrations helps to eliminate bacteria and fungus on the scalp.

There have also been reports that by massaging the oil into the scalp, new hair growth is promoted.

Honey

This is a recipe for hair loss using honey and cinammon

Those suffering from hair loss or baldness, may apply a paste of hot olive oil, one tablespoon of honey, one teaspoon of cinnamon powder before bath and keep it for approx. 15 min. and then wash the hair. It was found to be effective even if kept on for 5 minutes.

Aromatherapy

Just a quick extract on aromatherapy trials which produced interesting results.

A trial group massaged essential oils (thyme, rosemary, lavender, and cedarwood) in a mixture of carrier oils (jojoba and grapeseed) into their scalp daily.

The results show aromatherapy to be a safe and effective alternative treatment for alopecia areata.

More Aromatherapy

Isabelle C. Hay and colleagues from the Aberdeen Royal Infirmary in Scotland saw several cases of alopecia areata, a type of hair loss that causes patchy baldness, improve after patients used herbal treatments. Unlike male pattern baldness or hair brittleness, alopecia is a condition that affects men and women of all ages, and is most likely caused by an immune system inflammation that affects areas of the scalp. Stress often precedes an alopecia outbreak. Standard medical therapies, including corticosteroid injections, are only modestly helpful. Most, but not all, patients eventually improve or recover.

External application of various herbal essences is believed to benefit those who suffer hair loss due to alopecia. Among these are cedarwood (Cedrus atlantica), lavender (Lavandula angustifolia), rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) and thyme (Thymus vulgaris), all of which have been used to treat alopecia for more than a century. However, no double-blind studies have been conducted to evaluate the efficacy of these herbs until now.

Hay and researchers recruited 84 people with diagnosed alopecia areata. During the seven-month trial, participants suspended use of topical or oral alopecia medications. Instead, half used a blend of cedarwood (2 drops, 94 mg), lavender (3 drops, 108 mg), rosemary (3 drops, 114 mg) and thyme (2 drops, 88 mg) in a carrier oil mix of jojoba (3 mL) and grapeseed (20 mL). The placebo group used just the carrier oils. Subjects were taught to rub the oil into the bare areas of their scalp for two minutes each evening and then to wrap a warm towel around their head to enhance absorption.

Professional photographs of each patients' scalp were taken at baseline, three and seven months. Changes as seen in the photographs served as the primary outcome measure. Outcomes were also measured by mapping bald patches and measuring severity of alopecia with a four-point scale. Of the 84 patients who entered the trial, only 63 completed it--35 from the active group and 28 from the control group.

Of those receiving active treatment, 44 percent (16 of 35 patients) significantly improved, while 15 percent (6 of 28 patients) using placebo improved. The essential oils had a statistically significant advantage (P = 0.008). The average area of hair regrowth with the essential oils was 104 square cm compared with nearly zero for those using placebo.1

One male patient with alopecia areata as well as severe male pattern hair loss saw improvement in both areas after using the essential oil blend.

These results suggest that one or more of the essential oils are biologically able to promote hair growth. While promising, confirming studies are needed before we can be sure. However, is a 44 percent response rate worth the effort? According to the authors, this is about the same response rate dermatologists expect with standard medical therapies. To the herbs' benefit, however, they are less expensive, require fewer doctor visits and have a low risk of side effects.

Future research must explore which of the four herbs had the most effect or if they work in tandem. Also open for exploration is whether increasing the concentration of the most active constituents would increase response rates. Dose is also worth researching. Perhaps twice daily treatment would be more effective than once daily.

Natural Remedies For Cleaning Up Bacterial Vaginosis.

What is bacterial vaginosis?

Also known as vaginitis, it's a common vaginal infection observed among sexually active women of reproductive age.

More frequent and widespread than yeast infections, this condition occurs when healthy vaginal bacteria are replaced by an overabundance of harmful bacteria.

What causes it?

Factors appearing to favor the multiplication of the harmful vaginal bacteria include: The wearing of nonabsorbent undergarments, use of perfumed tampons which disrupt the normal pH balance of the vagina, and the use of unsterilized contraception devices. Failure to practice adequate hygiene contributes to the development of the condition, too. And although bacterial vaginosis is not a sexually transmitted disease, engaging in intercourse with an infected partner can cause symptoms, and frequent sexual activity further increases the risk.

What are the symptoms?

Vaginal irritation and itching, in some cases accompanied by redness, swelling, light bleeding, and a burning sensation during urination.

Bacterial vaginosis also raises the pH level of the vagina, altering the color and odor of normal discharge. In addition, it can increases the patient's risk of acquiring sexually transmitted diseases such as gonorrhea, chlamydia, and HIV/AIDS. The infection creates complications during pregnancy in some cases, and if left untreated may eventually develop into more serious inflammatory pelvic disease.

Are there natural remedies available?

Though patients should see a doctor if the condition persists or if symptoms become unbearable, there are several easy-to-use natural remedies, too:

YOGURT, a rich source of "good bacteria," can be applied directly to the affected region. Consuming yogurt in generous amounts also assists in treatment.

TEA BAGS, soaked in cold water and applied to the infected area, relieve itching and irritation.

And APPLE CIDER VINEGAR added to bath water, can help restore a normal vaginal pH level, and reduce discomfort.

Natural Vs Chemical Health Remedies - Which Is Better?

Natural remedies are both old-fashioned and high tech - the idea of using what the earth can offer in order to cure what ails you has become an important exercise in medicine both now and in our history.

There are many types of natural remedies out there. Some of the most common ones rely on the power of herbs in order to cure illnesses and trauma. These herbs can be just as potent, if not more so, than traditional Western medicine. Take tea tree oil for example - an Australian product that is harvested from the melaleuca tree. This essential oil has long been used by indigenous peoples of Australia as an antiseptic and anti-fungal topical medicine, but it was not imported to other parts of the world until the 1920's. Today, many people use this oil instead of harsh chemical antiseptics, to cure things ranging from small skin infections to even washing areas of the house that could be contaminated!

Another natural remedy found long ago but still used today is white willow bark. The bark of this tree was the original component of aspirin. The white willow's bark contains a compound known as salicin - related chemically to aspirin that is used today. This component is what can be used as a fever reducer and pain reliever, and has been used since the times of the ancient Egyptians. Today, some people prefer white willow bark to the harsher aspirin chemical compound.

There are also many natural remedies that fall under the label of homeopathy. Homeopathy is not the same as just using herbs and oils from plants - it is an entire school of thought on natural cures. Homeopathic remedies use minute traces of substances to cure ills - substances that would actually produce the same effect as the illness if given in large amounts. The idea of homeopathy is that "like cures like", and so tiny amounts of natural compounds are given to patients with ideas like coffee will cure insomnia.

Chinese remedies also use nature to cure ills. They are very specific prescriptions of herbs, roots and other plant and animal extracts that are meant to help different organs fight illness. Chinese medicine practitioners believe that different organs govern different illnesses, and that certain natural preparations will make those organs well again. This type of medicine has been practiced much longer than Western medicine - and many people believe that these natural cures work better than what today's medical technology has to offer.
