Get your 25(OH)D level up between 60 and 80 ng/mL and your SAD will likely disappear. Remember to take magnesium along with any supplemental vit d, or your calcium will deposit in your soft tissues instead of in your bones. Magnesium also assists with prevention of diabetes.

I am surprised AMP isn\'t mentioned. The best Aloe Vera is a very highly concentrated and purified form of the active ingredient called Aloe Muciliginous Polysaccharide. This not only does not contain any toxins and side effects but solves a large number of intestinal and bowel disease problems. Aloe Muciliginous Polysaccharide is a natural antibiotic. It is kind of expensive but after it works, you can taper down. There is a chart which compares the Aloe Muciliginous Polysaccharide products on the internet somewhere. Also Aloe Muciliginous Polysaccharide will heal the little sacs in the intestine. Doctors say they won\'t heal. That is baloney. With the right nutrients, your body will heal. The regular Aloe Vera would not work on my diverticulitis. It was too weak. Plus it caused nausea. It took 2 months for it to work. You will also figure out which foods are causing it after a while. They may not be the ones that get listed either. I do take a small amount of fiber to clean my intestine a little also.

Initially she was complaining of excess body pain, weakness in limbs and felt better with Tramadol only. This was for at least two years. Later doctors diagnosed that she was suffering from fibromyalgia with underlying neural pathology (of course her nerve conduction test was normal). We sleep in an A/C room. One night just touched her body, it was surprisingly very hot. I remembered she used to tell that she does not sweat, hence she does not have body odour. Then realised that her problem was anihydrosis. She is now on homeopathic treatment. She has been advised to take 250 ml of fresh cucumber juice (without adding water or salt) daily along with homeopathic medicines. Then also advised that because of anihidrosis, she has all the said complaints because of accumulation of toxins in the body that sweat glands excrete. Hence advised complete bedrest, homeopathic medicines, and cucumber juice (fresh). Life pulls on.

The lymphatic system is important for our immunity and helps in dealing with stress and allergy. If the lymphtic system is clogged with the over consumption of foods and some very challenging foods then your nose and sinus receive more inflammation from the garbage build up. The lymphatic system is like the garbage man that takes away the garbage. Garbage may just turn into polyps. Instead of polluting and causing a worse diseased situation little sacks of garbage called polyps form to protect us. How do we heal this? 1. Drink your 8 glasses of water per day. Enjoy herbal teas. Maybe goats or almond milk if you must add something. No sugar. 2. Avoid lots of fats. Just a little fat to cook in and satisfy your stomach as this will help stop sugar cravings. 3. Avoid dairy and wheat as much as you can. 4. Thinks about eating lots of greens instead of grains. 5 Get a good night sleep and let your lymph system work when it prefers. It works better as you lay down and rest. 6. Exercise regularly as your lymph needs that help it to do its work. You need to be active for it to circulate. 7. Get good lymphatic massage and remove tension from your lymph restricting chronic tight muscles. Especially those ones cleaning your head and sinuses. 8. Take lymph herbs like fenugreek, bayberry and redroot(not bloodroot), take vitamin c 5000mg spread throughout the day and 2000mg of bioflavanoids. Take quircetin and bromelain. There is a bloodroot nasal drops you can make up as a spray from godshear herbalist UK this will dissolve polyps. 9. Also smaller meals spread throughout the day can be easier on our body. Try taking meals with a good digestive enzyme supplement. You can try taking this supplement between meals also and last thing at night and let it help clear your lymph. 10. This information is like gold. I am sure it will help. It\'s your time now. Wishing you the best of health.

When I took a tablespoon, and even a teaspoon of Extra Virgin Coconut Oil, my thrush got so bad I could barely swallow - my mouth got so incredibly dry. Coconut oil is SUCH a potent detoxifier/antifungal - if you already are having a problem with yeast, you must go slow! I started taking just 1/8 of a teaspoon of coconut oil for about a week (even that tiny amount initially caused detox reactions in me) and then all of a sudden the thrush that the coconut oil had in the past cleared right up!!

I could not find a practitioner since they seem to have to be careful when advertising but I had it done once and it was excellent in realigning everything. Please also look into oil pulling which I have found very beneficial. Living now in a different place I went to a chiropractor and he did adjust my head and the bite.

I asked my doctor to check me for parasites and she (with resistance) sent my material to the lab and it came back that no eggs were present. I later found out that this does not mean you don\'t have parasites that it just means that there were no eggs in that particular specimen. To make a long story short, I did a parasite cleanse and I will do one at least every 6 months. The brain fog start to lift after the parasite cleanse and that was before I used the patches.

Recently, I had a very long day and realized my bladder wasn\'t low or bothering me. Then I realized it hadn\'t been bothering me for a couple of weeks. I am pretty sure it is because of Red Raspberry Leaf tea! I started drinking this tea daily several months ago since it is so good for the female system. I have been drinking LOTS of it--3-4 cups a day, faithfully! It is the only thing different that I have been doing. Today I checked a favorite book of mine, \"Practical Herbalism. \" Sure enough, in the description of Red Raspberry, the author references a older book that talked about using Red Raspberry Leaf for pelvic prolapse! I was figuring I would just have to have surgery to get everything fixed \"up. \" But I know people that have done that and had less than wonderful results. Plus, I don\'t really want to have surgery. This is a slow way to heal a problem and my problem isn\'t as severe as it could have been, but it is a cheap and easy and safe and healthy solution for an uncomfortable problem. If you try this, use mostly Red Raspberry Leaf in your tea. You can also add in some nettle and alfalfa for nutrition or some kind of mint for flavor. I mix my own dry herbs. Then I put 3 T. of the herb mixture in a quart jar and pour boiling water over it. I let it steep for 15 minutes. (Do not keep on the heat. ) Then I strain out the herbs and sweeten. I drank almost a quart a day for months. You can buy tea bags and use 3 - 4 a day, making sure to steep for 15 minutes to extract the maximum benefit from the herbs. Lots of pregnancy teas or women\'s teas will have lots of red raspberry leaf in them if you don\'t want to bother making your own mix. Just for completeness, I do eat healthy, whole foods, made a home, not a lot of sugar, lots of water (including Apple Cider Vinegar, but I have done that for years. ) I also try to get out and walk several times a week, just a mile or so. I do think keeping the muscles strong is important and would like to get more and better excercise, but I am kind of busy raising kids. :) Hope that helps someone!

For the third time in a year, my husband found himself with bladder tumors. The first time, he was told they were pre-cancerous. The second time: \"developing cancer tumors\". This time, the scan, which he was seeing too, showed one of them to be much, much worse--round with a lot of white looking bubbles. There were three in all. We were concerned. The pre-surgery physician said they were low-grade cancer. He was scheduled for surgery in three 1/2 weeks. I immediately put him on: 1) one teaspoon baking soda with one teaspoon molasses in water--twice a day. STIR WELL. It\'s recommended to heat it to make sure it\'s mixed well, though my husband didn\'t. I already knew that this helped one guy get rid of his high PSA, and saw a lot of other testimonies on the net. 2) 20 mg Astaxanthin--this is a powerful anti-oxidant, and is that which makes lobsters red. I had this gut feeling it also might help since I\'ve read about a connection between inflammation and tumors! Surgery was today.... And to the amazement of the surgeon, they were completely GONE. I wasn\'t amazed and all I could do was laugh. I later asked the surgeon innocently (since allopathic doctors tend to yawn about alternative treatments): what do you think caused them to disappear? He said \"they may have been inflammation, since inflammation and cancer look the same. \" When I asked how could that just disappear, he was clueless. Were they cancer or where they inflammation? All I know is that when you read scholary articles, inflammation has long been associated with the development of cancer. They can be one and the same!! So did the baking soda or the astaxanthin do this?? I don\'t know if it was one or both. BUT IT APPEARS TO HAVE WORKED.

Or dental work? Or injuries to the head causing lacerations or puncutre? If the answer to the above three items is \"yes\" then that might give a clue to viral, fungal or bacterial infection inside the scalp which has spread from a previous infection. Next, assuming we eliminate the infection possibility, go to reactions to topical ointments, allergies etc. Does anything you eat, for instance, make the condition worse, such as acidic foods? You might have developed a late developing allergy to some specific item. My mother in law is deathly allergic to sesame seeds and sesame oils. You can get to the bottom of this by process of elimination. Leave off certain items you may be suspicious of and see if the condition changes. Next, could there be a deficiency of anything? Some latent genetic conditions could be triggered as we age and kick in a deficiency where previously was asymptomatic. Read relentessly to find any clue to vitamin deficiencies, such as the B complex or mineral deficency, eg magnasium. One odd question: Have you been overseas where parasites could be another avenue of enquiry. Oh, one more: Please advise whether you eat raw meat. Yet one last one: Are you ear canals alright? Any new unsual ringing or clicking sounds? That could indicate fungus or virus. And your eyes... Is your vision recently blurred? I am assuming you have already checked on your acidity... I refered to that above but make sure you are drinking enough alkeline liquid (one half teaspoon of baking soda twice a day) would help neutralize an acid body. If you suspect that, then get off coffee, meats and acidic foods such as tomatoes. Diatomaceous earth is an interesting \"test\" to see if key digestion issues are a problem. Really high quality \"green\" drinks is something that could give you another hint; that is is after consuming for a week if the condition improves. Please forgive me for suggesting so many things but I thought I\'d run some ideas out to give an expanded check off of possible cures. And don\'t lose hope... Because there is a solution. It may be as easy as soaking in boron (borax) and/or epsom salts. Just keep trying.

For the past 4 months my hair has been falling out (diffused) and then the last month my scalp has become red, inflamed and feels hot and burning. It doesn\'t itch much but will burn on and off all day long. The hair fall greatly increased when the burning and redness started. I have no flaking or bumps but a few areas of small flat red spots and areas where the scalp is entirely red. It doesn\'t hurt to massage the scalp but hurts to move my hair- which I don\'t understand. The reddest areas are just below the top of the back of scalp and on the sides of my head is worst for redness and hairloss. If I wash my hair with anything other than shampoo that has pyrithione zinc the burning gets pretty severe. I tried an anti- fungal shampoo and a tea tree oil shampoo-both seemed to make the burning worse especially the anti -fungal. I\'ve tried going without any hair products and didn\'t seem to make any difference. I tried rinsing my hair with apple cider vinegar which helps temporarily but the burning always comes back within about 12 hours. I also made a paste of baking soda and applied to the scalp - it didn\'t seem to help and dried my scalp and hair horribly. I\'ve been to my doctor who did bloodwork and everything came back as normal. I don\'t know what to do and am scared I won\'t have any hair left soon as my hair started coming out in handfuls within the last couple of days. Any idea what this is or how to treat it???

I\'m not on any supplement or medication. My weight is normal, my health has been good and never had any serious disease, except cold and flu once in a few year. I\'m also a runner and did several marathons in the past. Quite a healthy eater to start with, low salt, no sugar, no MSG, no junk food or no fast food, no dairy product, eating meat once in awhile. Lots of salad and slightly cooked veggies, and fruits. My skin had been flawless until 4 years ago. I got psoriasis on both cheeks 4 years ago due to skin infection (i spot treated some flat warts with tea tree oil and that burnt my skin) while I was going through a very stressful period of my life, ever since, I had tried many different approaches, internal and external remedies (including ACV and baking soda), the best they could do was to temporarily improve the condition, but once the treatments were stopped, it tended to come back. My condition was not very serious but my skin flaked like crazy and the patches turned red and burned every once in awhile, especially after running. I could only wish it was grown elsewhere instead of my face. 3 weeks ago, I have started using sesame oil (regular sesame oil from grocery store, not cold pressed and organic) for oil pulling (swishing oil in the mouth for 20mins and spit it out) every morning and before bed, also started to avoid high GI foods, quit rice and noodles, eating soy pulp and soy milk (homemade) made out of soaked soy beans and black turtle beans bough from the local markets in China as my staple. Occasionally I would have rolled oatmeal once a day. Just doing this out of curiosity and see what this change can bring to me, and hopefully it would make a difference to my skin. I started to notice the difference the next day. My skin was all cleared nice and supple at the first 3 days, then when I ran on the forth day on, it flaked, turned red, itched and burn, I thought it got worse but wanted to give it a bit more time. The flaky patches was a bit different than then the flare ups. It all flaked at the same time (evenly) and a few spots where I had warts also bulged out and turned red. After the big initial \"flare up\", I had also had a few flaky patches afterward, but can tell it\'s been significantly improved, the patches have been healed and lightened, some areas are all cleared up already. 90% healed by now. Skin completely regenerates itself every 28 days, and also depends on your age, the older you are, the longer it takes. I expect it would be all gone and healed, back to normal in two more weeks. I run almost everyday, 5K minimum, sometimes 15K. Personally, after running is the best time to examine the condition. No flare up now, lesser and lesser redness I can detect from my face. My skin is even and radiant now, I think I must had done something right. Black turtle beans have very powerful anti oxidation and anti aging effects loaded with goodies, great for the skin. Same with soy, get the organically grown ones. I know there are tons of mixed opinions about soy drinks in US, but I believe the problems mainly come from the commercial manufacturing process and GMO. Asians have been eating lots of soy products and other beans. Personally I see no reason of quitting it. How I make soy drink: I grab a handful of black turtle beans and soy beans individually, soak them overnight, drain the water and wash it slightly, before pouring into a soy drink maker. I do it twice, I put half of the beans and add 1.8 liter of hot boiled water, the machine grinds and cooks the beans, all done in 20 mins. Filter the pulp with a cotton bag that I sewed. Eat the pulp 3 times a day, drink soy milk throughout the day. Slightly lesser than 3.6 liters, that can last me for two days. The benefits of oil pulling are many, you might want to check it out. Possibly, the cold pressed organic extra virgin sesame oil would work out best, but I\'m happy with the roasted sesame oil, it does the job well. I\'m not a naturopathic doctor, or a TCM doctor, I don\'t know why it works, or maybe it only works to me, but I really think I must have done something right, and I hope this would help you too!

I\'m up to 1 tablespoon at bedtime now. To me, it tastes like very dilute apple juice, but most folks seem to think it tastes \"soapy\". After the first 10 days, my response switched from bright and wide-awake to extremely sleepy. My guess is that I was having a healing crisis response, but one afternoon, I literally fell asleep standing up. Had a split-second to grab the armchair and fall down into it, instead of somewhere else. Scared the heck out of my cats, who were in the chair until I fell there, and also scared me, too. Fainting is different -- used to faint as a teen into my 20s. This was definitely falling asleep. Over the next week I asked a friend to be my \'contact buddy\' and we spoke 2-3x daily, to make sure no other sudden surprises went unnoticed. At some point we figured out that I should only take the borax at bedtime. Maybe it would be different if I sipped a pint or so that had a teaspoon in it... But for now, all\'s good. I do feel more energized during the daytime, as well. Interesting nutrient. Debating whether to boost my intake, and not sure if I feel like experimenting with another daytime dose. My body feels like it wants more. To Carmela from Cambridge, happy my idea helped! To Leelannee from Sussex, NJ... I love your town! Those stone sidewalks, and all the old colonial buildings, plus so close to great parks and forests. I\'ve had the same experience as you have if I miss even one dose (= bad night). "
