Prevent or slow down cancer, fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, and any general disease!

   We're all born precancerous, it's just a matter of time until we get stressed enough, depressed enough, or eat the wrong foods, get overweight, obese, and develop a metabolic disease or Coronary Artery disease/heart disease, and things like that, it'll turn those cells bad. Too many people are getting to that point and having a heart attack or a stroke, they may recover but may not be the same. And chances are, they may have something go wrong again! Yeah they got chemotherapy and radiation therapies out there BUT, during the process it will still weaken your body in other areas and cause side effects. IT IS STILL KILLING YOU, so go all natural! You may be fighting your cancer or disease but you're weakening another area in your body!

    In this post I want to give you some tips on what to eat or take to prevent or slow down your cancers/diseases like fibromyalgia, CAD, stress or depression related or any general disease. It's no doubt that exercise and calming your stress down can decrease your high blood pressure too! So keep that up, but if you have to, take an herb for anxiety and stress. You can read about that in my post about stress and anxiety. The CAD happens when you have too much bad cholesterol floating through your arteries. You have your low density lipoproteins and your high density lipoproteins. The lows float in the lower portion of your arteries, but these can build up and cause clogging, & the HDLs flow above inside your arteries.  You can easily google what I'm talking about if you wish.

     As far as eating healthy, stay away from saturated fats, hydrogenated oils in most of the food, and stay away from high fructose corn syrup that's found in sugary foods and syrups. All these cause fat gain, diabetes and other diseases too. You need the extra sugar in anything you eat or drink!

Gluten   

You have got to avoid gluten products like wheat and grains. Try to find gluten free foods to eat to avoid arthritic pain or firbomyalgia pain. Try searching on GlutenFree.com for foods.

Fish Oils

     

     If you haven't heard of or even tried getting enough fish oils, you must begin taking in supplement forms of fish oils. You may not be able to get enough from fish that you're eating. There are two forms of fish oils: Omega 3 and Omega 6. You should be taking Omega 3s only, because Omega 6 can still increase your inflammation. Omega 6 is just a different kind of fish oil for some reason. 

      So anyways, you can find Omega 3 fish oil in Walmart, Giant Eagle possibly, but you will have the most success in a health food store. Besides Omega 3 fish oils, they now have Salmon fish oil, capsules, which is basically made from the Wild Alaskian fish. They seem to be stronger and better.  I can speak for my mother who suffers with fibromyalgia pain, and for other people I know, plus myself included with having depression and sleep problems, the Salmon Oil capsules with DHA help me sleep and feel more energized during the day. A lady who owns an herb shop and who also gives massages, takes lots of fish oils for her fibromyalgia.  Termeric is also great for cancer prevention & pain. Slippery Elm could help with digestive issues & cramps just like acidophilus/probiotics supplements or found in natural love culture yogurt. 

We're all precancerous, we got the cells inside us but most of us have enough T-cells in our lymphatic system to fight those off, to keep our cells healthy instead of changing to bad. Out lymphatic system is our main immune system with the B & T cells.. Cancer can also thrive in acid, so you need to have your pH balanced with both acid & alkaline. The info belief talks about antioxidants & phytonutrients that help prevent or fight cancer & illness. Phytonutrients are in greeny foods while antioxidants of course found in blue, red and purple fruits. 

   

Phytonutrients & Antioxidants

      Phytonutrients are found in a lot of greens, meaning lettuce, parsley, spinach, and all them leafy things, and also vegetables perhaps. And antioxidants should be a no brainer but in case you don't know, antioxidants are mostly found in all fruits like red, blue & purple fruits. 

Mental

It's all mental just like anything else. Yeah you got pain going on or you may have cancer, but it really does help if you stay positive enough and don't hear or be around negativity. Don't listen to doctors who try to play God and say that you have 6 months or whichever amount of time to live. They only go by what it looks like with your results. Some times they could be right when they know that the cancer is in a bad spot where it can't be treated. Parkinsons disease, Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is hard to treat, it's un-treateable practically, nobody ever heals from any of these diseases, they can only cope with it and take pain medications, which sucks! If there was a way I would search for it myself!

A MASSAGE MIGHT HELP TOO. LIGHT TOUCH OR WHICHEVER IS COMFORTABLE FOR YOU!

Stress, Anxiety and Sleep Relief

For any of you out there who've been suffering with stress, anxiety and insomnia, well you're not alone. I deal with it and so does millions of others. Stress can bog you down and cause the sleep insomnia; depression is another factor in it. Anxiety is just excess worrying, it can either be general or severe worrying over things like money, job loss, the job itself or your environment/negative people.

We all know that exercise helps with stress, BUT do you have time to exercise?? We also know that good sleep helps with stress and irritablness....but if you have insomnia like me, you can't sleep!!........Well I have a solution for you! Luckily I went to my health food store, looked around and found GABA, Natural Calming Effect herb supplements.... These are anxiety and stress herb supplements. In the GABA bottle, it includes 500mg in each capsule. That's right, it's a capsule, not a pill! It's full of the GABA herb and vitamin B which all aid in the anxiety and the nervous system to slowing it down. It relaxes you. It's been effective with me. They also have True Calm capsules out there on the market.....I've also tried Nutri-calm herbs as well. Some GABA supps will include Niacin in it, which couples with the GABA hormone in us.

 Pictures of these products are right below:  The company "Now" is only one manufacture but there are other companies you can buy from such as Meadosweet herbs or others. Also try taking Salmon oil capsules. Make sure they're dark with lots of oil. Fish oil has a mix of fish, which you don't know what you're getting. Avoid excessive Omega-6 fatty acids. That's why you supplement with Omega-3s to make up for it. 

    

Energy Drinks and your health

Energy Drink Consumption 

When it comes to energy drinks everybody always want something to give them quick energy, to give them a kick, whether they're at work, school, at some kind of activity or at home. There are a lot of energy drink companies/makes out there: Redbull, Monster, AMP, Rockstar and others that are full of caffeine, high sugar and extra ingredients you just don't need. It all gives you that extra pump but is harmful to your heart and such things. Then these drinks make you crash and go for another drink. It's as bad as soda/pop. So.... here's a tip!

Go for the natural energy drinks such as FRS drinks found in grocery stores, also V8 splash drinks or XS energy drinks that are sold by Amway for one thing. Drinks like these contain B vitamins and vitamin C and some calories not to mention flavors. That's all our bodies need to function and survive! If you feed your body right, then you'll feel as good as what you eat, make sense. 

                     

Prevention of disease, deficiency and headaches relating to water intake

   Have all of you heard of water? If you haven't well then I don't know where you've been all your life. Water is essential to all of us! Water flows in our rives, water comes from the rain, from the heavens! Water flows out of our faucets, we cook with water and we bathe with water, and most importantly, we drink it! Without water it would be hard to survive. It doesn't matter who you are. Water carries minerals in it and vitamins if the water is enhanced with vitamins of course. Minerals are natural though.

   With out water we can become all the way to severely dehydrated, we develop more headaches than usual, our blood will thicken up and our body will contain less oxygen in it period. I know there are people who dislike water and refuse to drink much of it and then there are people who swear by water, even the dieters out there.

  Yeah we all get stressed and depressed/anxious which can bring on a headache but it's mostly from not drinking enough water. There's been a long time saying that 8 glasses of water a day is good but it's sort of a myth. Why? Well because not everyone needs 8 glasses. Some may need more or less, it depends if you're an athlete or any kind of athletic person who exercises, a hard laborer or a person who doesn't do much and works in an office. It all depends and you have to read your body-go by what your body tells you.

   Some deficiency symptoms include: severe dry mouth, or it could be because of breathing with your mouth frequently, your throat is big time dry, that's not a good, your eyes are sunk in, skin is dry, you get sever headaches daily, or you're muscles and different body parts are going numb or all of your body parts. When you're severely dehydrated, you'll know it! You experience flu like symptoms, headaches, weakness, numbness, it's all bad! I've been there before I know how it feels!

Here are 10 real good common reasons why we should drink water more that I found: First of all, More than two-thirds of your body weight is water. Without adequate water your body's biochemical and electrical processes begin to break down. The list of reasons your body needs water is as plentiful as the functions in your body, so due to space limitations. 

1. Your blood is over 80 percent water and needs water to make healthy new blood cells.

2. Your bones are over 50 percent water and, you guessed it, need water to make healthy new bone cells.

3. Drinking more water actually helps lessen pain in your body by getting your lymphatic system moving. The lymphatic system is a network of nodes, tubes, vessels, and fluid that move waste out of your tissues. It requires water to function properly.

4. Water helps to eliminate wastes and toxins from your body through the lymphatic system, kidneys, and intestines.

5. Water lubricates your joints and helps reduce joint pain and protect against wear and tear.

6. Water regulates your metabolism so if you're overweight chances are you may need more water.

7. Water balances body temperature.

8. Water helps to ensure adequate electrical functioning so your brain and nervous system function properly. Your brain and nervous system send out electrical signals to function properly. Researchers estimate that your brain gives off about the same amount of electricity as a 60 watt light bulb. So, there's some truth to the image of a light bulb going on when someone has a good idea.

9. Water alleviates dehydration (and I've already mentioned that most people are chronically dehydrated).

10. Every cell and organ in your body requires adequate water to function properly.

Experiencing an injury in whichever joint: Elbow, ankle, knee, etc, What to do if you can't afford a doctor

   How many of you have experienced some kind of injury in any part of your body? Well I have, and it has been my ankle mostly with a severe ankle sprain. I have had Itband tendinitis in each of my legs too from running but they healed around the same time as a sprain would typically heal, that is if you kept up with it. A muscle strain or tear is way different than a sprain in your joints. Itband tendinitis is one kind of muscle strain and it happens to be in your legs, on the side. It's a long band that extends from your hip down to your knee and hooks. A strain or a joint sprain is either acute, moderate or sever....1st degree, 2nd degree or 3rd degree.

   Now in terms of a broken joint, such as an ankle or elbow, you'll know if it's broken or not if you'll just realize what your abilities are, how much pain you are in and how much inflammation you may have in that area. An acute break can involve just some pain and instability, a moderate break can involve more pain, instability and some inflammation and a sever break involves lots and lots of pain, no instability what so ever and a ton of inflammation in the area. Lots of pain everyday. The key is to ice, ice and ice to get the blood to slow down so you can see what's going on with the joint so you can make a judgment. You don't need to get an X-ray right away, just don't move the hurt joint at all!! And get the inflammation down first to determine things.Once you have gotten the blood flow to slow down and the area to shrink, then you can feel around the area with your fingers for like holes or pointy spots where a bone could be broken or pierced through your skin. If there's a hole, that means maybe it's an avulsion fracture where the muscle tendon pulls real hard and pulls a chunk of bone with it. Closed bone fractures are when the bone breaks inside the skin and open bone fractures are wen the bone breaks through the skin. A compression fracture happens when two bones collide or compress each other. If you're unsure and it's very painful, I would try to get an X-ray as cheap as you can!
Now a sprain can almost feel the same way. You get the acute, moderate or sever symptoms. Whether you can function a little bit not at all and how much inflammation you have. You do the same thing - just ice, ice and ice, and elevate your foot if it's your foot, if not then still... just let your affected area turn to normal almost again and massage it/exercise it. As long as you keep working it and stretching it, letting it recover in a healthy way it will get strong again, and nothing should happen for a while or ever again, if you pay attention!

I have sprained my right ankle in soccer when I was in middle school. It happened during indoor soccer. Year s later in 2006 during a cross country meet I rolled the same ankle on a root and sprained it. Just after 2 weeks and some treatment I was back to running and I ended up going to Ohio's state tournament for my high school. Then 5 years later again I was running in a park through a hilly trail, I was running and hit a root once again. I messed up my ankle bad. I sprained 2 ligaments severely. Without any X-rays or huge treatments, I healed it myself and rehabbed just because I'm a specialist and I've studied these things. By the second week I was walking and partially running on it. By the 3rd week it was flexible again.
