Stinging Nettle for allergies, cancer, inflammation
I had been searching for a natural cure for allergies and came across Stinging Nettle. It was supposedly a natural source of antihistimes. I got my shipment of Stinging Nettle and have tried it for a week now. It does seem to help, however I have still had some allegy problems like sneezing and stuffy nose, along with itchy eyes. But it has helped some and doesn't have any side effects.
I have done more research on Stinging Nettle and have found that it has a wide range of benefits. It could help reduce prostate cancer and other cancers, help reduce inflammation and other ailments.
Here's a good article about it...

Nettle Benefits
Nettle has been used for centuries to treat allergy symptoms, particularly hayfever which is the most common allergy problem. It contains biologically active compounds that reduce inflammation. Dr. Andrew Wiel M.D. author of Natural Health/ Natural Medicine says he knows of nothing more effective than nettle for allergy relief. And his statement is backed up by studies at the National College of Naturopathic Medicine in Portland, Oregon.
Decongestants, antihistamines, allergy shots and even prescription medications such as Allegra and Claritin treat only the symptoms of allergies and tend to lose effectiveness over a period of time. They can also cause drowsiness, dry sinuses, insomnia and high blood pressure. Nettle has none of these side effects. It can be used on a regular basis and has an impressive number of other benefits most notably as a treatment for prostate enlargement.

Are you absorbing your vitamins and nutrients?
I did a search to find about how the body absorbs nutrients and what one must do to make sure that his money isn't going "down the drain."
Since I have a lot of money tied up in vitamins, nutrients and minerals in the form of supplements, the past two days I have been intensely searching for ways in which to better absorb these supplements. From what I have recently discovered, the supplements are attacked by the acids in our stomach and are mostly neutralized or destroyed. In other words, the money spent on these supplements is literally going down the drain.
I have found two ways in which to have the supplements be absorbed better by our digestive systems. One is to find supplements of vitamins and nutrients that are Enteric Coated which all the supplements to withstand the attack by the acids in the stomach and pass intact into the intestines where they eventually dissolve and are incorporated into our systems.
The other way is to make sure we get the proper healthy fats, which then help the essential vitamins like A, Bs, C, K & E get into our system. While I now feel that the Enteric Coated tablets is the best way to go in which to get the highest percentage of the supplement into our system, using a healthy fat, such as Omega 3 fish oil, may be the best alternative until I can find a reasonably priced vitamin or nutrient which has the Enteric Coated cover.
I found that there are healthy fats that are important in the absorbing of vitamins and nutrients. Here is an article written by Mike Adams of Natural News about the subject...
Dietary fat is necessary for absorption of vitamins, nutrients and phytochemicals from fruits and vegetables
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger
A fascinating new study published by the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition shows that dietary fat is necessary for the absorption of nutrients from fruits and vegetables. In the study, people who consumed salads with fat-free salad dressing absorbed far less of the helpful phytonutrients and vitamins from spinach, lettuce, tomatoes and carrots than those who consumed their salads with a salad dressing containing fat. This is interesting research, but not necessarily all that surprising. We've known for a long time that healthy fats are a critical part of a healthy diet, and that avoiding fats actually causes chronic disease. The key is in choosing the right kind of fats for your diet and making sure you don't overdo the fats, because fats have a very high caloric density and can add far more calories to your meal than you might expect.

Here's another article about how healthy fats are essential, not only for the absorbing of our vitamins, but to help maintain our health...
What are the different types of healthy fats and oils?
Fats and oils are made up of basic units called fatty acids. Each type of fat or oil is a mixture of different fatty acids. Monounsaturated Fatty Acids (MUFA) are found mainly in vegetable oils, nuts, seeds, olives and avocadoes. They are liquid at room temperature.

Statin drugs cause more harm than good
Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, has more disturbing news about statins and their side effects that are worse than the benefits of using them...
http://www.naturalnews.com/028988_statin_drugs_side_effects.html
Big Pharma lies about statin drugs finally exposed in British Medical Journal
To hear Big Pharma tell it, statin drugs are "miracle" medicines that have prevented millions of heart attacks and strokes. But a recent study published in the British Medical Journal tells a completely different story: For every heart attack prevented by the drug, two or more people suffered liver damage, kidney failure, cataracts or extreme muscle weakness as a result of taking the drug. Statin drugs, in other words, harm far more people than they help.

The path to true health is in your hands!
When I was diagnosed with prostate cancer, the Internet turned into my second and third opinion and option. I found there were many different paths one could take to defeat this enemy and one didn't have to use the three main options of orthodox treatment: surgery, radiation or chemotherapy. From what I have found out, there is only a 3% chance of complete recovery using these methods. I also have learned that there is a cure for most every disease in nature. You just have to search hard enough and you will find it.
Nature doesn't have "profit" as the bottom line. The medical and pharmaceutical industries are geared to keeping their gold mines intact and protecting their bottom line: profit!!
While a lot of people may not believe in psychic power and other dealings with the paranormal, I used to do a lot of reading on the "Sleeping Prophet" Edgar Cayce. He used to do "readings" for people on all sorts of topics. The most common reoccurring theme was health and finding cures in nature. Cayce was able to find a lot of cures that people even use now days in alternative health care.
To me there are two main truths in life: You are what you eat, and the truth is out there.
One of the biggest reasons for the rise in cancer and other deadly diseases is what we put into our mouths. In this modern era of "eating on the go" and the other time constraints, we have given up the job of preparing healthy meals to others. The "others" are poisoning the food that we eat. From chemical sprays to food additives for long shelf life, the chemicals we digest that are incorporated in our foods are killing us slowly. It's like taking a small dose of arsenic every day. You can't taste it and it doesn't have an immediate effect, but someday it WILL kill you!
Steveia wasn't the first alternative choice I made in finding a new path to health. Over 15 years ago, I had started using niacin to help reduce my high cholesterol. It helped for a while, but my cholesterol gradually crept up again and my doctor put me on statins. One of the problems with niacin was the flushing experience I had with it. Eventually, I found a time-released brand and used that, but over the years, the product I used wasn't on the shelf any more. I have found a new non-flush niacin that doesn't give me any flushing, so hopefully, I can get off the statins that have given so many bad side effects.
This past year I have probably learned more about how to cleanse the body from causes of diseases than what most doctors ever learn. The few doctors who know about the real cause and effect of eating and nutrition will not preach to their patients about the way to perfect health is through a complete change in their eating habits. Such advice could lead to them losing their licenses. If a doctor is diagnosed with cancer, he most likely will not follow his own advice for his treatment. He will most likely find an alternative treatment that will have a much better chance of truly healing him.
I will have much more to say about this topic in the future, but wanted to start off this chapter showing that there are alternative paths to REAL health than what the orthodox medical industry tells you. You can take whatever path you want, but you owe it to yourself and the ones who love and depend on you that you weigh every option available to you, alternative or orthodox.

Dandelions a miracle cure?
"What?? You want me to eat a weed?"
That must be the first reaction that most people would have if they read the title of this tread. Eating a weed???
I have heard of making dandelion wine, a friend used to do that. And I may have heard about possibly having dandelion greens in a salad. But never did I realize how healthy eating dandelions, from flower to the root, can be very beneficial to one's health.I read in a health newsletter about how eating dandelion greens could help kidney stones:
Dandelion is most commonly used as a liver and kidney "tonic" to dissolve stones and increse bile flow. It is also employed as a diuretic to reduce water retention and to stimulate appetite. The root and leaves can be eaten in salads or as a cooked green.
That made me curious as I have a lawn full of dandelions just waiting to be sprayed with weed killer. I went out and picked a leaf and muched on it. It was pretty bitter. But I went ahead and harvested some and had them with my salad. No, I didn't die. LOLAnyway, I did some research on eating dandelions and found out the best time to harvest them is in the early spring BEFORE the flowers come out. That's like stevia. Once the flower blossoms, the leaf is much more bitter.One interesting fact I leared is that the dandelion has more vitamin A and C than most foods. It also has calcium, so this is definitey a healthy food to eat. And who'd have thunk that??
I usually don't post entire articles, but this one is worth putting here in its entirety...
http://www.backwoodshome.com/articles/williamsc44.html
The dandelion is a healthful, great tasting weed you can eat
By Carol Williams Want to eat a weed? One that’s easy to find and tastes great? Just start hunting for those first spring dandelions.
The dandelion’s true name is Taraxacum Officinale, which means “the official remedy for disorders.”
Legend has it that the people of Atlantis used the dandelion as a food and a tonic. The early colonists brought the dandelion to America from Europe. They used all parts of the plant, even the roots, which they roasted and ground for a coffee-like drink. We know that frontier healers often recommended dandelion greens as a spring tonic. They are full of vitamins unavailable to pioneers during the winter. There is no doubt dandelions have saved lives.
Our name for the weed comes from the French Dent de Lion, meaning “lion’s tooth.” This refers to the jagged points on the leaves, which look like sharp teeth. The French grow dandelions to eat, just as we grow lettuce in our gardens.
Modern science has analyzed dandelion greens. They are a good source of calcium, potassium, vitamin A, and vitamin C. They have twice as much vitamin A in a one-cup serving than most vitamin pills. They also have as much calcium as a children’s vitamin or half a glass of milk. That’s more than most other vegetables. Without vitamin A, people have eye problems and have trouble fighting infections. Vitamin A helps kids grow tall and keeps skin healthy. Calcium keeps bones strong and growing and nerves working right. Your parents might have heard of eating dandelions, but even your grandparents might not know how to prepare them.
The first steps are knowing when and where to gather the tasty greens. Dandelions are best picked where the grass grows tall and free. Yard dandelions, which have been cut often, do not have as good a flavor. Also, many people try to poison the dandelions in their yards, and those chemicals are not healthy to eat.
The best time to gather is long before the last frost of spring.The first edible portion appears as a slightly reddish tangle of leaves. The greens grow from these. Dandelion greens are the leaves above the surface. They must be gathered before the plant blooms to be delicious. The best time to gather them is just when the bloom bud appears, before the stalk grows. If you wait too long, they will taste bitter. Eating the leaves after the yellow flowers bloom is like chewing yesterday’s gum.
To cook dandelion greens, wash them well with water, then place them in a pan and pour boiling water over them. Let them boil for five minutes, then season with salt and butter. Eat them hot. If the taste is too strong, gather the bloom buds and cook them with the leaves to smooth out the taste. This spring, cook up a batch of nutritious, delicious greens for dinner. And you may want to invite your grandma . . . it could bring back some memories for her.

Big Pharm & FDA's war on Alternative remedies
Alternative remedies proves to be a threat to Big Pharm and Big Med as these are multi-billion dollar industries that thrive on the sickness of people, not their wellness. Now the AP is going on the warpath to attack any and all alternative medicine, trying to discredit those approaches and brainwashing people.

Associated Press declares war on alternative medicine
by: Mike Adams
NaturalNews Editor
Saturday, November 07, 2009
(NaturalNews) The Associated Press has declared war on alternative medicine, publishing a series of stories attacking everything from nutritional therapies to bioidentical hormones. These stories, which are syndicated across thousands of websites around the world, are prefaced with the following highly-opinionated "Editor's Note":
EDITOR'S NOTE: Ten years and $2.5 billion in research have found no cures from alternative medicine. Yet these mostly unproven treatments are now mainstream and used by more than a third of all Americans. This is one in an occasional series examining their use and potential risks.What this note reveals is an extraordinary bias against natural medicine from the start. It's clear from the claim of "examining their use and potential risks" that the Associated Press isn't even looking for potential benefits of natural medicine. They're just looking to discredit it. And the part about "Ten years and $2.5 billion in research have found no cures" is factually incorrect.

Natural cures for prostate cancer
I have found that taking vitamins and supplements like vitamin E, D3, C, Omega 3 fish oil, Kyolic garlic extract, turmeric, saw palmetto, New Chapter's Prostate 5LX, New Chapter's Zyflamend, zinc, L-Lysine essential ammino acids, selenium and my regular One-A-Day vitamin have reduced my PSA blood work. It went from 5.6 to 4.5 in just one month of taking these supplements.
There was also another ingredient, Paw Paw, which is supposed to target and kill cancer cells. I took Paw Paw for one month and hopefully it did do as advertised. Here's a link to information on Paw Paw...

I have now learned on Mike Adam's Natural News web site that eating walnuts is also supposed to help reduce the prostate cancer (and probably others too). This is yet more proof that nature has cures for many diseases, if not all of them. This is an amazing story of a perfect natural medicine...
Scientists find walnuts fight prostate cancer
by: S. L. Baker, features writer
Thursday, April 15, 2010
(NaturalNews) Walnuts are a rich plant source of omega-3s, the fatty acids also found in cold water fish like salmon. Omega-3s are known to lower the risk of a host of health problems from depression to heart disease. Walnuts are also loaded with gamma tocopherol (a form of vitamin E), phytochemicals known as polyphenols, and antioxidants. Now, for the first time, scientists have reported that these nutrient-rich nuts have the ability to reduce the size and growth of prostate cancer.
Scientists from the University of California-Davis just reported their discovery at the 239th National Meeting of the American Chemical Society (ACS), being held in San Francisco this week. "Walnuts should be part of a prostate-healthy diet," Paul Davis, Ph.D., who headed the study, said in a statement to the media. "They should be part of a balanced diet that includes lots of fruits and vegetables."

Debate: Natural vitamin C vs ascorbic acid
http://www.oralchelation.com/faq/data/data7.htm
Synthetic Vitamin C Versus "Natural" Vitamin C
It is possible to find vitamin C (ascorbic acid) in many different forms with any number of claims regarding its efficacy or bioavailability. Bioavailability refers to the degree to which a nutrient becomes available to the target tissue after it has been administered. Our conclusions about the various forms of vitamin C based on the available scientific evidence follow. More information and references are posted on the LPI Micronutrient Information Center.
• Natural vs. synthetic ascorbic acid: Natural and synthetic ascorbic acid are chemically identical. As assessed by at least two studies, there appears to be no clinically significant difference in the bioavailability and bioactivity of natural ascorbic acid and synthetic ascorbic acid.
• Different forms of ascorbic acid (powders, tablets, etc.): The gastrointestinal absorption of ascorbic acid occurs through an active transport process, as well as through passive diffusion. At low gastrointestinal concentrations of ascorbic acid active transport predominates, while at high gastrointestinal concentrations active transport becomes saturated, leaving only passive diffusion. In theory, slowing down the rate of gastric emptying (e.g. by taking ascorbic acid with food or taking a slow-release form of ascorbic acid) should increase its absorption. The bioavailability of ascorbic acid appears equivalent whether it is in the form of powder, chewable tablets, or non-chewable tablets. Moreover, bioavailability of ascorbic acid from slow-release preparations has not been found to be greater than that of plain ascorbic acid.
• Mineral ascorbates: Mineral salts of ascorbic acid (mineral ascorbates) are buffered and therefore less acidic. Thus, mineral ascorbates are often recommended to people who experience gastrointestinal problems (abdominal pain or diarrhea) with plain ascorbic acid. There appears to be little scientific research to support or refute the claim that mineral ascorbates are less irritating to the gastrointestinal tract. When mineral salts of ascorbic acid are taken, both the ascorbic acid and the mineral appear to be well-absorbed, so it is important to take into consideration the dose of the mineral accompanying the ascorbic acid when taking large doses of mineral ascorbates.

Search the web for second (and third) opinions!
When I was diagnosed with prostate cancer, I was floored. I mentioned to my doctor that I was considering getting a second opinion. He kind of tried to talk me out of it with some off the cuff remark, but I decided to do a little searching online. I did set up an appointment with Roswell Cancer Institute in Buffalo and sent my lab results there. My original specialist had suggested that I have radioactive seeds implanted, called Brachytherapy, as I would be able to go back to work within 3 days, as opposed to being out a month or so if I had the radical surgery to completely remove my prostate.
At Roswell, I saw 2 specialists and the urologist suggested that I have the Robotic-Assisted Radical Prostatectomy, or complete removal. They also wanted me to join a study group that would take vitamin D supplements to study the effects of that.
After this, I decided to explore the Net and find some answers myself before I made up my mind on how to deal with this problem. I found many answers on the Internet that suggested that the big Cancer industry was mostly out for their own profits and that even doctors won’t have the chemotherapy, or other orthodox methods, done to themselves if they have cancer. They seek alternative treatments as they won’t subject themselves to the brutal and barbaric methods of Big Medicine in America.
I have found out through my research on the Internet that there are many answers out there that are much more effective than the treatments offered by the cancer industry. The orthodox treatments are the cash cow of this multi-billion dollar industry and any alternative treatment is considered a threat to their huge profits and will be treated as such. Big Med and Big Pharm have declared war against natural and alternative medicine and will employ every tactic in the books to defeat these enemies.
Using the Internet is one way to beat the propaganda employed by Big Med and much research and comparison is need before a patient can find the ultimate treatment for his ailments. For cancer patients, I would suggest visiting www.cancertutor.com for some very valuable information on natural and alternative cures for cancer.

Vitamin C can cure skin cancer!
After that, I learned on Cancer Tutor about the use of topic vitamin C to treat skin cancer (not the melanoma skin cancer, which is worse).
I did some research on the topic and have read about a lot of people curing their skin cancer this way, by putting a dab of solution of vitamin C crystals mixed water on the sore. After two weeks, it is supposed to have the scab fall off. This is much better than paying over $2,000 for the surgery and the resulting scars.I go to the Cancer Tutor web site for a lot of my alternative health info.
Here's their article about using vitamin C to cure skin cancer...
Skin cancer and Vitamin C
Vitamin C Treatment
When Vitamin C comes into contact with a skin cancer or external tumor (e.g. basel cell carcinoma), it hardens the tumor and forms a crust, such that the scab falls off in 2 weeks or so depending on how big the tumor is and how aggressive you get with the Vitamin C.
The solution is made by adding 1/8 tsp (teaspoon) of pure Vitamin C crystals to 1 tsp of water (a ratio of 1:8). Add any more and the Vitamin C won't dissolve. This should make enough solution to last all day. If more is made than is needed you should store it in a closed container in the refrigerator.
Even better, put 1 or 2 ounces of water (30-60 ml) in a small glass bottle and add 1 tsp of Vitamin C for each ounce of water (that is a 1:6 ratio). If after mixing you don't see any crystals on the bottom then add more Vitamin C until the water won't dissolve anymore. This insures a saturated solution of Vitamin C. The treatment is to apply the mixture (using a cotton swab or Q-Tip) to the tumor. This should be done 2 or 3 times a day. It is best to put a bandage or other cotton covering over the tumor after each treatment, if possible.

We have to get back to the "Caveman diet"
The water we drink is polluted with chemicals, waste products, fluoride and other toxins that even the water treatment plants don't get rid of before they send it onto you. The food we eat is full of chemicals used as fertilizers and pesticides. Even organically grown food may be infected with toxins drawn up through the water table. Is there any place we can find food that is not toxic to our system? There is, but we have to search for it. Most organic farms try their hardest to eliminate any possible absorptionby the plants.
Meat products are another aspect we must consider if we want to eat healthy. Most of the meats we buy in the supermarkets are from animals fed growth hormones and eat food that is has chemicals in it, thus it is passed onto us. Along with that, eating meats should be limited as consumption of meats leads to many diseases, including cancer.
I have read many articles stating that we have to get back to the "Caveman Diet" in order to cut down the dramatic increase in diseases. Eating raw fruits and vegetables is essential for having a healthy diet and lifestyle. Also, it has been noted that cooking these foods will eliminate the essential vitamins and nutrients that they contain.
Eating excess dietary fat and cholesterol has been documented as the primary causes of many diseases, such as diabetes, heart disease and many cancers. Saturated fats are found in meats, whole milk dairy products and all the fast food which are manufactured for consumption. The Caveman Diet didn't have any junk food or processed meats, so this is one reason for the rise of cancer and other diseases the past century and a half.
Uncooked vegetables and fruits are nature’s gift to us as cures to a lot of our ailments. Now days, processed food as refined, cooked and processed for long shelf life. Along with that, most of the nutrients have been boiled out of the food. Since food processors have been packaging our food with food color and preservatives, cancer along with chronic degenerative illnesses have seen rates rise dramatically.
It is imperative that we clear our households of the poisons that are making us sick. I will keep posting more information on our diets and how we need to get "back to nature" in the future.
Now they say Antioxidants are bad for you!!
For every medical report showing that something is good or bad, there will someday be a report that says the complete opposite! This has been true for the past 100 years. For any treatment, there will be a report "proving" that the treatment either doesn't work as promised or worst.
You can take the sythnetic vitamin C vs natural, spring water vs distilled water, Omega 3 fish oil, etc.
Now there is a report out that taking antioxidants in suppliment form not only is doesn't work as advertised, but may actually be harmful for you! Can you believe this?
I have been taking Antioxidants like vitamin C for years and have implemented a supplemental program of taking zinc and vitamin E to counter the diagnosis of early stage prostate cancer. Now who do you believe? If we listen to all these so-called expert reports that counter each other, then we are left not being able to eat, drink or breathe! Nothing is safe. It's dangerous to eat ANY food, drink any water, or breathe the air. We might as well hold our breath until we
die, according to all these reports!
Here's the email that I received last week that started this whole counter antioxidant debate...
WARNING: Don't Take Antioxidants Until You Read This!
By the Underground Health Reporter™
Think-Outside-the-Book Publishing, LLC
Did You Know...
...that taking high doses of antioxidant supplements -- such as beta carotene, Vitamin A, Vitamin E, ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) and selenium -- does not reduce the risk of acquiring diseases, but has also been shown to be poisonous to the human body and may even increase the risk of death?
As long ago as the 1950s, antioxidants became known as miracle supplements because they "reportedly" promoted good health and prevented a host of diseases, including cancer and age-related diseases. According to some estimates, approximately 50% of the adult population in the U.S. take antioxidants on a daily basis for this reason.
Here's a wake-up call: Every long-term study involving antioxidant supplementation provides proof that people get sicker -- not healthier -- when they take antioxidants. In fact, beta carotene, vitamin A, and vitamin E, taken individually or in combination with other antioxidant supplements, are associated with increased all-cause mortality. [Source: The Journal of the
American Medical Association - based on 68 randomized trials with 232,606 participants (385 publications).]
In case you were wondering ... this information is not just another propaganda employed by the medical and pharmaceutical industries to prevent people from using natural therapies, or to deceive people into thinking that drugs are the only solution to disease.
Here are the facts:
Over the last several decades, supplement manufacturers (and even health practitioners) have urged people to take large amounts of antioxidants such as Vitamin C and Vitamin E because scientists had observed that people whose diets were rich in fruits and vegetables had a lower incidence of heart disease, diabetes, dementia, stroke and certain types of cancer. They formed the hypothesis that since fruits and vegetables are a rich source of antioxidants (which neutralize free radicals in the body), then taking antioxidant supplements would have the same effect.
That hypothesis has been proven wrong. Here's why:
Fruits and vegetables produce antioxidants for good reason -- that is, to protect themselves from oxidative stress. Without antioxidants, oxygen destroys food by combining with elements and burning them up -- hence, vitamin destruction in food (or decay) occurs.
However, dietary antioxidants have virtually no nutritional benefit to the human body. Antioxidants such as ascorbic acid and tocopherols, for instance, are not essential nutrients -- and as such, they should not even be called vitamins at all.
While antioxidants serve their purpose WITHIN a fruit or vegetable, in the human body, they only disrupt normal oxidative reactions in the cell. This is
why they are dangerous to consume (except in the minute amounts ingested from
food).
In summary, if you want to stave off disease and premature aging, there is no substitute to eating fruits and vegetables that are rich in antioxidants instead of taking antioxidant supplements.
Breathing right! Natural cure for asthma
Apple Cider Vinegar is one way. You can mix two tablespoons of the vinegar with distilled water and drink that. I was able to stop my usage of Advair for about a week by also using a hydrogen peroxide nasal spray that I inhaled by spraying it in the back of my throat, a couple times a day.
During my quest to find a natural cure for asthma, I Googled for help and found some! The one I found most helpful is called the Buteyko breathing exercises. It consists of learning to breathe complete through your nose and doing breathing exercises. These exercises consist of seeing how long you can breathe out and then hold your breath. I have been keeping a chart of my progress and am up to almost a minute without having to take a breath. I have cut way down on my use of Advair, which I am saving for emergency use only.
A quick exercise to clear your nose when it is blocked up is to hold your nose with your fingers, and bob your head up and down from 20-35 times. After a couple times, it clears you right up! No chemicals, no side effects.
Here's some links to this amazing cure for asthma...

Miracle Cure?
Since I have been diagnosed with stage 1 prostate cancer, I have been doing some pretty intensive research for alternative cures for this disease. After reading horror stories about the side effects of radiation, surgery and radioactive seed implants, I wanted to know if I could go an alternative road. In my journey, I have found many substances that nature provides that can help much better than what the Big Med industry forces us to accept.
Google has been a miracle itself in leading me to some amazing information about possible cures I didn't know existed. However, one lead I got came to me in an email. I got this email from the web site Natural Cures about a miracle natural cure for cancer.
Check out this video, it's pretty amazing...
http://www.thecancercurevideo.com/
After watching the video, they have a great explanation of what causes cancer and what can eliminate the cancer cells...
http://www.thecancercurevideo.com/LandingPage.htm
After watching the video and reading their report, I decided to buy the ebook called "The One Minute Cure." It was a wise move. The cure turned out to be food grade 35% hydrogen peroxide!After reading the book, I did a lot of research now on the possibility of Hyrdogen Peroxide as a great treatment for cancer. One of the sites I found was a hospital that now treats people with hydrogen peroxide intravenously and with oral doses. It's in Santa Monica and maybe this is the wave of the future if orthodox medicine finally embraces it...
http://curezone.com/diseases/cancer/h2o2.asp
I found an article written by Dr. David G. Williams, who does an excellent job in describing the benefits of hydrogen peroxide ...

Stevia - A healthy sugar substitute
I ordered online Stevia seeds that came with a book on the subject. Started my seeds indoors around the start of April and about half of them survived the transplanting and the attack of the squirrels. But now, they are getting close to being harvested. I read in my book that the best time to pick the leaves is right before and during the blossoming of the flowers. You can either eat the leaves right off the vine, or dry them for use in teas or making a powdered sweetener. Here's a picture of one of my Stevia plants...
Stevia is 300 times sweeter than granular sugar, so you don’t need to use much. I got two kinds of Stevia extract. One was in a liquid form that uses an eye dropper to dispense it into my coffee. The other is the white powder. I have the powder at work and like the taste of the Stevia. I got the powder back in February and still have the 1 ounce container at work.
I took some pictures of my Stevia plants to share with you and maybe by me posting about the great benefits of using this sugar substitute will convince others to try it.
Alternative cures for cancer - Nature's Way!
Modern day medicine has gone against nature these past 100 years and is literally shoving harmful chemicals down our throats. These chemical “cures” are poisoning our bodies and our minds and are causing more harm than good.
I have known for a long time that the big business of medicine, doctors and related industries have a gold mine going that isn't going to run out of money for a long time.Certain diseases like cancer could have been cured around 50 years ago if the medical institutions put their minds to it. Oh, they claim to be working for the cure, but in reality, they just want to continue getting rich off the sick patients.
While the big medical and the big pharmaceutical industries try their hardest to mile their cash cow, they also campaign against any natural or alternative method of curing diseases which could destroy their industry.
