Natural Cold Sore Remedy – Herbal Cold Sore Remedies

Cold sores can last up to two weeks; this annoying and painful condition is something terrifying. Many people have resort to natural cold sore remedy when all other medical treatment has failed to bring significant results. Up to this day, medical treatment has only able to give temporary relief, with some prolonged side effects that can take a toll upon your body for a lifetime.

1. Contagious Disease

Cold sore appears outside of your mouth, and extremely contagious therefore you should avoid direct contact especially with your lips. The cause of cold sores is a virus that can attack children and adults with low immune system in a blink of an eye. Also cold sores have a reputation to pop up at the wrong time, during this period you might want to limit your activities.

2. Ice Cub

The most common and cheapest of all cold sore treatment is ice. Putting ice around an infected area for around 15 minutes every hour can greatly reduce the spread of your cold sore. However, ice can only ease the symptom but not curing the root of the problem. You have to combine this treatment with another natural cold sore remedy for maximum effectiveness.

3. Other Natural Remedies

Other natural remedies you can use to cure cold sores are the type of remedies that can increase your immune system and have an antiviral quality. Several of those remedies for example are tea bag, tea tree oil, lemon balm, and Echinacea.

There is also a drink that supposedly can cure cold sore using a combination of tea tree oil, herbal sage, and violet, these three ingredients available at local health and food stores at a very cheap price.

Natural cold sore remedy is still the best solution for treating cold sores because it is cost effective and has less side effects.

Panic Away Review – Is Joe Barry Panic Away Scam Or The Real Deal?

A lot of good inventions appear from frustration and this was the case with the Panic Away method by Joe Barry.

Because he suffered from chronic anxiety disorder, Joe was under the normal treatment in such cases, including meditation and relaxation techniques. He always knew though, that these techniques are strategies for dealing with this disorder, not a cure.

One important discovery that Joe made while looking at different techniques dealing with cognitive behavior, used by psychologists in the treatment of anxiety attacks, was the discovery behind the One Move Technique.

Most of the Panic Away course deals with this technique called One Move. If you read through this course you will go through all the anxiety attack stages and learn how to use the One Move technique to stop the attacks.

Joe took 10 years to refine his method and over 14,000 people learned how to use it already.
By using the One Move technique you don´t have to rely on lifestyle changes, medication or relaxation exercises. By using it you should eliminate the anxiety attacks permanently.

After you read about the One Move technique, you will read about the Generalized Anxiety Disorder. He also gives you a lot of information about nutrition and how to defend against anxiety attacks through diets. At the end, he gives you information about medication and when you should use it. You can also read about how the body works and what can make it go astray.

The book is only 60 pages long and it´s full of facts. It´s quite easy to understand by anyone that reads it.

With the book comes a 60 day money back guarantee. It might not be as long as we´d like, but the value is there. So is Joe Barry Panicaway scam? I leave that up to you to decide.

Solving All Mental Problems

Neuroliminal Training (NT) is a new drugless therapy that works for most mental problems.

NT hasn't any bad side effects!

NT is affordable even to low income families (unlike EEG Biofeedback!

NT is used at home.

NT changes brain wave amplitudes by subliminal messaging.

NT is much simpler and much less expensive than EEG biofeedback, (aka Neurofeedback).

In 6 separate volunteer tests over the past 4 years, it has clearly shown that it is at least equally successful to EEG Biofeedback, a proved albeit very expensive therapy.(Cost is the only real difference.)

Success rates are so good that "noticeable improvement", even on autism cases is guaranteed within 6-8 weeks or money back".Nowhere in the "health business" will you find such a guarantee!  NT has been used with ADD-Autism, depression, PTSD, anxiety, insomnia, epilepsy, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, and much more.

How does it work?A special combination of speech and audio subliminal sounds are combined with a "surf sound" overlay on a repeating CD.It's called by some “beneficial brainwashing”.

Unlike most subliminal messaging techniques, NT doesn't attempt to change behavior, but does change the amplitude of various brain waves.  This is just what EEG biofeedback (aka Neurofeedback) has done so well for over 40 years.Cost is the only real difference!

I first proposed a theory of how and why both Neuroliminal and Neurofeedback (EEG BF) work  at an Alternate Medicine seminar in Tbilisi  (Soviet) Georgia in 2000.My theory says "Raising the SMR brain wave SOMEHOW changes the affect of allergens on the brain".  Using either one alleviates or "cures" allergies and sensitivities.  Since allergy is a huge (often unsuspected) stress, and stress is the major factor in all mental problems, it works.  (No one to date "knows" much about the "SOMEHOW.)

A test that was done in 2006/2007 had 9 autistic kids, ranging in age from 3-11.  Those results showed a very similar overall improvement in an 8 week reporting period as would be expected in a similar group using Neurofeedback.Only 2 Autistic CD Packages have been returned for a refund, out of over 150 sold to date.

An earlier test in 2005 with 23 volunteers reporting results showed all 23 were successful.ADD/ADHD cases were the majority, and all were considered "cured". (Cure is when they sit still in class, learn, get higher grades and IQ scores go up).Some depression cases reported good success and 2 autistic cases also reported significant progress and were continuing use of NT.

A synopsis of tests from 2004 to 2007 is available at www.drbate.com/Ref/SubliminalSynopsis.html).(A patent Pending was applied for on this new usage).Most people use it while sleeping, but some have used it as "background" during the day with good results as well.

Are there any potential dangers or drawbacks to this new therapy?  The only real drawback is that it takes time to really “brainwash” beneficially.No real danger has ever been shown in either Neurofeedback or Neuroliminal.Slow and steady wins the race, like the tortoise.

Neurofeedback definitely works for most of these mental problems.It's works "miracles", but unlike a magic pill, it takes time.

Why Low Blood Sugar Causes Panic/Anger Attacks

The medical term for low blood sugar is hypoglycemia. The brain requires large amounts of glucose and oxygen for fuel.  When the glucose level goes below a certain point, a hypoglycemic episode may occur. This can become almost any symptom up to and including coma and even death. In most cases, such a hypoglycemic episode may only cause drowsiness or sleepiness, but fainting and passing out is not unknown. Some males may have an "explosive" anger attack.  Some females may have an anxiety attack.

Let’s first examine the actual cause of the "new" disease label (for insurance purposes) called “Explosive Anger Disorder”.Because of excessive insulin released, both adrenalin and testosterone may be released in males with blood sugar going low. In some males, this combination causes what is called "undifferentiated" rage.

This is undoubtedly is a part of the current "road rage" problem as well as childhood male tantrums, spousal abuse, bar fights, etc.

Temper tantrums are not unusual, particularly in "spoiled kids", but if it occurs about 3-4 hours after a "sweet meal", you can be pretty sure that child has a sugar handling problem, and needs to limit carbohydrates/sugars.

Females, also release hormones and fatty acids into the bloodstream when glucose levels go low.  However, release of estrogen doesn't act like testosterone.  Instead of "anger", this combination may cause anxiety, and even depression.

Hypoglycemia is usually caused by too much insulin driving too much glucose into the body cells, which depletes the supply of glucose available to the brain (and other areas).  Since the brain depends on a constant supply of both oxygen and glucose to even function, there are several methods that the body uses to make sure that glucose is available.  First is the release of adrenalin (the fight or flight response in effect.  If this not enough, then fatty acids and hormones are released and changed into glucose.    

Since glucose is as necessary to proper brain function as is oxygen, there are many different symptoms possible. These can range from a simple yawn about a half hour to an hour after eating, to a full-blown anxiety attack, or even a real depression (the term "sugar blues" has a basis in real fact), passing out/fainting, or even death for diabetics, or almost anything in between. Sometimes, allergies can cause similar symptoms, or even cause a hypoglycemic episode!

Too much insulin can be the result of a sugar overload, and this can cause hypoglycemia even in non-diabetics. This can be as simple as eating a doughnut or drinking a full glass of orange juice on an empty stomach for sensitive persons. (It happened to me once!) The response to low sugar/glucose is individual, and everyone reacts slightly differently. Also, one person can eat a dozen doughnuts one time with no bad effects, and have a hypoglycemic episode from just one doughnut at another time.

Let's look at a simple example, which will help clear up some of the confusion surrounding this subject. If a normal (whatever that is) person eats an apple, he/she will gain approximately the equivalent of 3 teaspoons of sugar. Digesting the apple takes about 3 hours in the following way

1. As sugar is absorbed in the mouth,  the incoming amount is measured and the brain determines how much insulin to release into the blood. Let's call this process a "sugarstat" for simplicity. We don't fully understand how it works, but we do know the effects.

2. From millions of years of evolution, the sugarstat "knows" that with the amount of sugar absorbed over a certain time it needs a certain amount of insulin and releases that amount accordingly.

3. Now, it takes 3-4 hours for all the sugar to be digested from the apple fiber as it passes thru the digestive system. The insulin released lasts about 3 hours, and it matches the incoming amount as measured by the sugarstat.

So, eating an apple has an immediate effect of raising glucose (blood sugar) somewhat, and this "blip" is fast compensated for by insulin release, and from that point the incoming sugar is pretty well balanced by insulin release over the three or so hours of digestion. In effect, there is very little change in blood sugar, and that's what nature intended - the sugarstat is working as designed.

The situation is drastically different if we "pre-digest" the same apple by squeezing it in a cider press. In effect, all we have removed is the fiber, and retained all the sugar, vitamins/minerals, etc. (A glass of apple juice might contain the juice from 10 apples or 30 teaspoons of sugar). Now, there is much more sugar absorbed within minutes, and the sugarstat is "fooled" into releasing many times the amount of insulin actually needed as a result.

Remember that for millions of years of evolution, we didn't have cider presses, let alone the "designer" apples of today. And the processed foods!  We simply aren’t designed to handle the amounts of sugar we get.  (In the 1800’s the average intake of sugar was about 5 pounds per year.  Today it’s over 200 pounds.)

This "overdose" of insulin drives blood sugar into body cells at a furious rate, and even though the blip is now much larger, it quickly lowers it.

The sugarstat has released enough insulin for 3 hours of digestion, but all the sugar is actually digested and within the bloodstream within minutes. This results in way too much insulin (hyperinsulinism), since enough insulin has been released for three hours of this same amount of intake. The sugarstat has been "fooled", by not evolving far enough to handle our "modern" food processing.  

This excess insulin "drives" all the glucose it can find in the blood into the body cells (its job). This results in a shortage of glucose to the brain.

Now, since the brain MUST have glucose as well as oxygen, for fuel, several body mechanisms go into action to raise the glucose. (Few people realize that without BOTH glucose AND oxygen, brain cells start to die in about 4-5 minutes).

The two most important body hyperinsulinism defenses are adrenalin release, which releases stored glucose for emergencies (the flight/fight response), and the release of some fats and sex hormones that can be converted to glucose fairly quickly. 

From the above scenario, it can be seen that hypoglycemia isn't really an actual disease, but in fact, it is actually normal to we humans, even though the effects are individual and may vary greatly. It's our modern sugary diet full of processed and/or pre-digested food that's really to blame.

These body defenses against low blood sugar also cause some very different symptoms in different individuals. This is usually about 3+ hours after eating a sugary processed meal.  This time may also vary from about 2.5 hours to 5 hours in different individuals at different times.

I once helped to save a marriage by simply advising the husband to eat a handful of peanuts and raisins every two hours after lunch. Around 3PM, as her boss, he inspected her work and she couldn't do anything right according to him. He got angry every day - he ate a candy bar and a soda every lunch!!) 

Anyone who has a sugar handling problem might be well advised to carry a bag of peanuts and raisins around, and make sure that they eat a handful every two hours or so. The ratio of about 1 raisin for every 5 nuts seems to work well.) The raisins will provide glucose within a relatively short time, and the peanuts will provide protein and fats that can be converted into glucose over a longer time. This was what I usually advised hypoglycemic sensitive persons to do, and it works well. Eating 6-8 small meals daily is a good idea for hypoglycemic persons. A meal might be a hard-boiled egg, or half an apple, etc.

Thyroid Self Measurement at Home

Most MD's use blood tests called T3, T4, and T7 to determine thyroid activity in patients. By comparing these blood readings to what is called "normal" ranges, MD's determine whether you are "normal:, "Low", or "High".

One of the reasons why three tests are used is because none of them are very accurate.  I have seen many persons who were told they were in the "normal" range, but when they test themselves with the accurate temperature test below, they were found to be very hypothyroid (low in activity).

Dr. A physician way ahead of his time, Broda Barnes found that body basal temperature was a very good measure of thyroid activity, and particularly upon awakening. Dr Barnes wrote a book about thyroid activity and the various ills and problems from both hyper and hyopo thyroid.

I am indebted to Dr. Roy Kupsinel of Orlando Florida for introducing me to Dr. Barnes book, and other help we was free with.

Testing Thyroid Activity
Shake down a regular mercury type thermometer before bed - be sure it's down below 95 degrees.  Next morning, on awakening, put the thermometer under your arm with the bulb in the armpit with no clothing between it and the armpit.For at least 10 minutes (using snooze alarm if you have it), leave it in place.  Just drowse for that time lying still.

Take the thermometer out after 10 minutes, read the result, and write it down immediately. On waking, most people don't think clearly and might forget the reading).

This test gives you what is called "Early Basal Temperature", and "normal" range is between 97.8 and 98.2.A reading taken by armpit is somewhat lower and somewhat more accurate than that taken by mouth.  If you have a low-grade infection this may read higher than your "normal", therefore if it’s in that range, you should repeat the above procedure every other day for a week or so.Repeat several times during a menstrual period if female.

If higher than the above range, you are probably hyperthyroid, (or you may have an infection somewhere), and if lower, then you are probably hypothyroid.(hyper means high, and hypo means low in doctorese.)

Just some of the symptoms of hypothyroidism can be:  obesity, depression, low energy, fatigue, many infections, chronic headaches, circulatory problems, chronic skin problems, poor memory and/or concentration, eczema, Psoriasis, irregular menstrual periods, neuroticism, irritability, hair loss, and lots more.

A serious problem that many who are hypothyroid suffer from is obesity.If you have a hypothyroid, your metabolism rate is low, and your body is storing energy as fat.  A hyperthyroid person is usually always fairly thin no matter what they eat.(don't you just hate those lucky ones?)!)

To treat hypothyroidism, you can try to find an MD, or a DO, who will write you a prescription for Armour Natural.You may be able to purchse from Canadian drugstores much cheaper than US ones once you get a prescription.

Most MD's prescribed Synthroid, but the "natural" Armour Thyroid has been found to be better lately.  Or, you can go to a good health food store and get a "glandular" that contains thyroid (along with other glandulars usually).For a week, start with two glandulars per day and use the test above to find out your best supplement dose.

Inexpensive Flea & Roach Solution

Some years ago, I hosted a talk show on health on a Palm Beach radio station. Someone called in, and wanted to know what to do about fleas, as she was violently allergic to the various poisons that people put on the back of the neck of their dogs. (A lot of dogs and cats don’t like them either.)

I had found a solution years ago, and I gave it to her. Buy Boric Acid in a large “squeeze bottle”. It’s in a fine powder, and if you point the snout down and squeeze the sides, it comes out in a puff of fine powder.

To start, vacuum the carpets, particularly where your pets may sleep or lie, or the entire carpet in a house where all the floors are carpeted. After a thorough vacuuming, go around squeezing the boric acid in a cloud all over the carpet. Brush any excess white powder into the carpet with a broom or scuffing your feet.

It will take a week or so, but after that, even with outdoor cats and dogs, you will find very few, or no fleas. Boric Acid is virtually harmless, to children, and your pets, but deadly to most insects.

Another thing that I discovered more recently, is a product sold at many health food stores. It’s a product made with mixing common yeast and garlic powder. Mix a half teaspoon or so into their food every day. Surprisingly, my cats love it mixed into canned tuna. I thought the garlic odor would be a problem, but it’s not.

This helps keep fleas at a distance outside. If you “sniff” closely, you might be able to barely smell the garlic on the skin of your pets. It’s also healthy as the yeast has B vitamins, and the garlic is a natural healthy food for man and beast.

Next, let’s look at cockroaches. They’re the “survivors” for millions of years, and will probably survive after all humans have gone the way of the dinosaurs. No housewife likes them, and even most clean houses may have a few in hiding. I live in South Florida – we have cockroaches almost as big as mice that even fly, and lots of the smaller ones as well as many other insects. Except for ants. Boric Acid works very well.

The Boric Acid in the carpets, particularly around the edges and baseboards will keep them mostly out of the house. But, there are a few places where it pays to keep them out as well. Put a small amount of Boric Acid into some beer botttle caps.

Place the caps of Boric Acid into the corners of your cupboards. If you have paper in the bottom of your kitchen drawers (or cabinet shelves), take up the

Paper, and do a small Boric Acid spray, then replace the paper. Spray the Boric Acid under the refrigerator, and the stove, and similar places.

That night, the entire program was taken up with callers, some telling us how well this worked for them, or asking more questions. Several people called the next time the program was on to thank me and some of my listeners for the above advice.

Much later, I learned how to stop ants, including fire ants. Simply empty one or more “blue” packages of NutraSweet (Aspartame) onto the nest. The ant hills are gone by the next day usually. Sprinkle a few grains in the baseboards or any possible entry holes into your home to prevent intrance. Aspartame seems to be a deadly poison to most insects, but particularly to ants.

If it’s that deadly to ants, what might it do to some susceptible humans? Many persons are allergic to it. Most are unaware that this is a problem. It often causes headaches in fact. I never use Nutrisweet!

I hope that the above helps you to better health for you and your pets.

Natural Asthma Cure - Asthma Homeopathic Treatment

With the numerous and latest natural remedies and alternative medicines for asthma conditions, there is always the so-called natural asthma cure. However, in reality, there is no real cure for asthma conditions. The best cure that is given to the condition can only be referred as the asthma treatment or products.

One natural asthma cure is the natural therapy that aids in managing the asthma condition. A negative response to emotional stress may cause asthma attacks. To relieve stress, some natural relaxation remedies can help such as biofeedback, guided imagery, progressive muscle relaxation and deep abdominal breathing.

Other studies show that diet can be a natural remedy for asthma, since it helps alleviates the asthma symptoms. Eating food rich in omega-3 fatty acids such as cod, mackerel, salmon and any other kind of high-fat fish can help decrease inflammation within the body that cause asthma attacks.

Though this fact is still unproven to benefit asthma conditions, high-fat fishes can be rich in other vitamins and minerals that help boost the immune system of the body.

While considering which natural asthma treatment to use, it is also necessary to give importance on the possible effects of the cure, whether beneficial or risky. Do not use any type of dietary supplements without the proper consultation from the health professional or asthma specialist.

There might be some diet supplements that could contain products or plants that are allergens to your asthma condition such as pollen. Without the proper consultation, it may result in some serious or life threatening situations.

Even without the natural asthma cure, asthma conditions can still be controlled and treated through several medications. In managing asthma for treatment and control, it should be secured with proper diagnosis on what kind of asthma it is. If possible, work with the doctor on developing an action plan for your asthma condition.
