Natural Remedies for Health Issues

Image: www.drfranklipman.com

I have been talking about this stuff for years but never really started getting excited about it until I found some workable solutions. My wife's irritable bowel syndrome and sleep apnea and snoring are under control naturally now, as well as my arthritis and tendinitis, mo pain and no side affects, It's amazing what the body can do when it is given the resources to repair itself.

I have seen som e good solutions before but never anything so universal and affordable.

Our relationship with food is almost like a psyfi movie. We think we are living this normal secure life and really the food industry, for the most part has no interest in our health, only that they can sell the most of their product possible, by hook or by crook. They understand human physiology enough to capitalize on American malnutrition and addict the population, why don't the doctor's understand it well enough to warn us?

So they fatten us up (literally) for the doctor's who have to give us pills (for the pharmaceutical companies) because instead of curing us, they give us crazy side affects and for some reason, always lead to more and more pills, how many people do you know with 30 bottles of pills?

Great racket, feed us to make us sick, treat us and never cure us, then we get really sick and need more doctors and more pills that never cure.

Finally, we can rebel against the system and fight the systematic malnutrition, obesity and disease of our families.

Starting down the right path: nutrition connections with chronic diseases of later life

Starting down the right path: nutrition connections with chronic diseases of later life 1,2,3 

by Johanna Dwyer

"Thirty years have been added to the average life expectancy of Americans over the past century. It is a reasonable expectation that Americans will achieve an average life span of ≥100 y within this century. The most dramatic decreases in early-life and midlife mortality coincided with advances in medicine; curative medicine has played a lesser role. The aging of the population alone has already increased health care costs, and as we move toward even longer lives, these costs will likely increase even more. Therefore, establishing and safeguarding optimal health from early life must become increasingly important concerns for governments and health care providers if they are to allocate resources wisely and ensure and maintain a high quality of life in the population. A prevention-oriented, life cycle approach is critical to establishing and maintaining health throughout life. This approach can delay and compress morbidity and the social toll associated with chronic disease and disability for as long as possible into old age. Good evidence exists that early nutrition affects key risk factors for chronic degenerative diseases of middle and later life, such as osteoporosis and cardiovascular disease. The influence of nutrition on health status and morbidity supports primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention of disease and intervention strategies at each point in the process. The objective of such a prevention-oriented model is to enable people to live well for longer, while minimizing chronic disability. Starting down the right path with appropriate nutrition and staying on it by eating well are important components of healthy aging."2

Poor Nutrition

"Nutrition is another arm of a behavioral health plan.  It is considered a behavioral health issue because diet and nutrition effect how we look, feel, think and act.  What we give our bodies for fuel predicts how well our body can perform emotionally, physically and cognitively.  Individuals interested in nutrition, including special recommendations for the specific nutritional needs

The National Institute of Health highlights the impact of poor nutrition on health:

• An estimated 65.2 percent of U.S. adults are overweight or obese, defined by having a body mass index of 25 or more (National Center for Health Statistics, 2003).
• 30.1% of US adults have hypertension (NCHS, 2002)
• Hypertension is called a silent killer, because it often goes undetected and untreated.
• High Cholesterol is a leading contributor to heart disease. A high blood level of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL) can lead to atherosclerosis.  High cholesterol diets are common in US and Canadian citizens.
• Diabetes is estimated to effect 8% of the adult US population.
• Each year, more than 500,000 Americans die of heart disease.  The single greatest cause of line-of-duty death in fire service is heart attack.
• Stroke occurs when a blockage or weakness in the circulatory system results in a bleeding event. The most common strokes occur in the brain, usually resulting in some degree of brain damage.
• Gallstones are deposits of minerals in the gall bladder that can result in significant pain when moving through the system. Some gallstones may require surgical interventions.
• Gout is a painful condition of the joints caused by an accumulation of uric acid, which results in crystals forming in the joints.  Associated swelling can result in permanent joint damage. Poor diet is a leading contributor to the development of gout.
• Sleep apnea is the condition in which a sleeping person stops breathing for periods exceeding 20 seconds. The resulting lack of oxygen can trip off rhythm problems with the heart.  People with sleep apnea are frequently not well rested, as the lack of oxygen results in frequent waking.
• Osteoarthritis is an inflammation of the joints, resulting in calcifications and breakdown of joint flexibility.
• Several types of cancer, particularly colon cancer, bladder cancer and breast cancer, may be affected by diet.
• Depression, eating disorders, distorted body image are often associated with poor nutritional status."1
