Healing Power Of Vitamins
Question: Have you tried to enhance your healing power? Enhance Your Healing Power
Samuel, July 09, Adapted Generalist document
Life often seems frightening and uncertain, especially when we are facing medical problems. We need to find a good, reliable, affordable way to optimize it and enhance healing power.
Professional help and medication can aid in healing, it cannot force us to become well, if we are internally at odds with our lives. The placebo effect shows that self-healing can occur when people are convinced they are getting the right medication. This power can be used to enhance the healing process to help proper medication work even better.
This document is intended for those who want to optimize their lives and accept that they can, and want to, make the causes, once they are shown how. The question naturally occurs, “What are the right causes to best optimize life for ourselves and others and enhance healing powers?” The causes should be based on what is verifiable and universally true. There are three kinds of causes; thought, speech and action. All three, except those triggered by autonomic responses, are directed by our minds and described with language. Our minds are inseparable from language. Voluntary actions follow from thought, or the prejudices and opinions we substitute for thought, framed in words. Even our prejudices and opinions are framed in words. The words we think in and say are a category of action. It is therefore useful to examine the words that express our basic approaches to life in order to look for improvement.
To get our lives into their best possible order, we need to understand some basic truths. The most basic is that there is no separation between the physical (tangible), and non-physical (intangible) aspects of life. A mind-heart without a body is a figment of science fiction. Please write down all the words of intangibles that attach to life such as beliefs, faith, love, imagination, dreams, life, hope, fear, hate etc. Then write down all the words that relate to the tangible aspects of life like action, body, wood, water, food. The list of tangibles and intangibles is endless. However, the inseparability of tangible and intangible aspects is summed up in the Japanese words Myo-ho. Why use Japanese words? The concept originated in Japan and can’t be expressed as well in another language.
Write down all the words for causes you can think of and effects those causes can have. They are all summed up in the words Ren-ge. Causes simultaneously produce effects like the flower and the seed of the lotus.
Everything is always changing. Write down all the words that come to mind about things changing-Clouds, faces, butterflies, concepts, memories and on and on. They are all summed up in the Japanese word Kyo. Because everything is always changing, no one is stuck where shehe is.
The three words Myoho Renge Kyo include every aspect of life and serve as the Placebo Effect Enhancement Tool.
How is the HMET used?
Add the shortened Sanskrit verb for focusing intention, or giving respect, and create Nam Myoho Renge Kyo. This, spoken repeatedly with the palms pressed together, focuses the mind-brain-body on the essential realities. It releases delusions and limitations as reliably as vitamin C cures scurvy. It works best when conducted together with a support group of people who are also trying to have great lives by training their mind-heart-bodies by using the LOT.

Caveat; SGI does not use the term Placebo Effect Enhancement Tool and may use additional translations of Myoho, Renge, and Kyo. The term is my attempt to summarize the essence of the philosophy taught by SGI in functional language and show one of its most important applications.
Answer: Wo-Repeatedly and it definitely helps me with various cuts, bruises, sprains and aches. Magic is for mushroom hunters in the forest, but cognitive training to direct intention toward healing is very effective.
A lot of intention based therapy directions seem to be based on hope and belief, but your modification of generalists document is all realistic.
Question: I have a dying parent...? and I don't know what to do. It's my dad, and we've never really gotten along. I live in NY and they're way down in NC. Yes, I go and visit but, I don't feel like that's still enough. I think I'm just trying to make up for lost time but, it's not helping-at least, not to the extent I feel it should. I feel lost. It's really a crappy feeling, and no one helps. I mean, they offer empathy, but I want advice. What is he sick with? Everything. And no, I'm not kidding. I only wish I were. He's a severe hypochondriac, and I'm all into holistic healing (the power of the mind, vitamins, herbs, minerals) and he loves going to physicians and hospitals while I don't believe in Western medicine. Regardless, I just need ideas on how to cope. And my mom coddles him endlessly, so she never listens. I hope someone will answer me-thanks. ~N
Answer: I can tell you i understand what its like to be losing someone that your not close to and you should be. I can't tell you that it was my dad or my mom so i know that my feelings are not as strong as yours are. Mine is my grandpa. I going to give you the best advise i can. Which is let go of what happend that made you and him grow apart like you are, and try to start over with the time you have left with him. don't wait to long. Go down to NC and stay for as long as you can, and when you go talk to him spend as much time as you can with him. Even if that means you and him sitting in his bedroom hours after hours just talking those are the best days you will always remember. And you may not see it but it would mean the world to him knowing that you gave up your busy life just to spend time with him. I hope this helps you and if not I'm sorry. I hope you and your dad become close agian.

Answer: Definitely. I jumped on it as soon as I saw the potential. The placebo effect is considered so mysterious and many insist that only hypnotism can enhance it. Yet, clarifying the mind in order to enable intention to function better makes perfect sense.
I have used it for muscle sprain and joint discomfort for a week now, and it enables my medication to work faster and better.
I am not just imaging it either, because several types of mind training have drained thousands of dollars from me and not worked nearly as well.
Question: Would you call this person a Naturopathic Doctor (ND) or a Medical Doctor (MD)? The person wrote.
I am a licensed naturopathic physician [ND] in private practice. I practice what is called "evidence based medicine", meaning that everything that I prescribe/advise has been scientifically proven to be effective in treating the problem it is being used for.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ten years ago the government set out to test herbal and other alternative health remedies to find the ones that work. After spending $2.5 billion, the disappointing answer seems to be that almost none of them do.
Echinacea for colds. Ginkgo biloba for memory. Glucosamine and chondroitin for arthritis. Black cohosh for menopausal hot flashes. Saw palmetto for prostate problems. Shark cartilage for cancer. All proved no better than dummy pills in big studies funded by the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine. The lone exception: ginger capsules may help chemotherapy nausea.

"Contrary to much popular and scientific writing, many alternative cancer treatments have been investigated in good quality clinical trials, and they have been shown to be ineffective. In this article, clinical trial data on a number of alternative cancer cures including Livingston-Wheeler, Di Bella Multi-therapy, antineoplastons, vitamin C, hydrazine sulfate, Laetrile, and psychotherapy are reviewed. The label "unproven" is inappropriate for such therapies; it is time to assert that many alternative cancer therapies have been "disproven."
http://caonline.amcancersoc.org/cgi/content/full/54/2/110
Considering that there is no scientific evidence for most of the alternative treatment, what is the practice GIVING to treat the patients?
What does happened to the Ayurvedic and TCM remedies which aren't scientifically approved ?
The House of Lords Report on complementary medicine did placed the Ayurvedic and Traditional Chinese medicine in the sub-group 3a.
Group 3b covers other alternative disciplines which lack any credible evidence base such as Crystal therapy, Iridology, Radionics, Dowsing and Kinesiology.
Doctors of Naturopathic Medicine are guided by six Principles of Naturopathy, which emphasize a holistic and natural approach to patient care, diagnosis, management, and treatment of medical conditions.
1. Do No Harm
2. The Healing Power of Nature
3. Find and Treat the Cause of Illness
4. Treat the Whole Person
5. Doctor as Teacher
6. Prevention
Honestly, in your believes - is this person really doing a naturopathic healing or the mainstream medicine.
And if this person really is a ND - what are these scientifically proven remedies called?
Answer: Hi.Im not sure i quite follow your question but there are a lot more studies showing evidence regarding some herbs then what you might read from a couple of big media reports that say theres no evidence of effectiveness.
I'll put some links below.
At the same time though,i understand what your saying in that while there are some studies proving effectiveness, in the big picture though,herbs still are "new field" scientifically in the sense that there are no where near as much studies having been conducted on herbs as there have been on pharmaceuticals.
There are many fascinating & promising herbs and if there are finances,many many more studies need to be conducted.
There are literally hundreds of thousands of herbs-that is why i find it ridiculous when anyone quotes something like(of course without links proving evidence) 'all the herbs were tested long ago,the ones that were useful became medicine,the others became potpouri or for salads"
This is just an outright willful lie because there are hundreds of thousands of herbs & of course they havnt all undergone testing.
So like you, i also would find it somewhat curious if a person could keep a practice treating a large variety of disorders with only herbs that had been scientifically clinically tested and proven because much more testing needs to be done so i think a practice would have to involve some things that havnt been proven yet but have plausability.
The only other option is if someone has a practice that only focuses on a small variety of disorders where clinical studies have been already conducted.
Anyway,here are some studies regarding herbs

Question: can this be an evidence for you to believe? if it can not what is your evidence for not to believe? 69- Then eat from all the fruits and flit about the spacious paths of your Lord. There issues from within her abdomens a drink of varying colors, wherein is healing for the people. Verily in this is a sign for those who understand.
16-The Honeybee, 69
The honeybee has a body that varies in length between 1cm and 3cm, and that is divided into three parts: head, thorax and abdomen. The verse quoted above stresses that in the individual female bee there are “abdomens,” which in Arabic is “butuniha,” the “ha” referring to a singular female bee. If the plural of the word “abdomen” was meant to refer to the female bees, then the plural female pronoun “hunna” would be attached to the verb “butuniha.” This makes clear the segmented abdomen of the bee. Inside the abdomen there are two stomachs or crops. When collecting the nectar from flowers, nectar is stored in this honey stomach for transport back to the hive. At the rear of the honey stomach is a valve that prevents stored nectar from passing on into the rear portion of the digestive system, except for the small amount needed by the bee to sustain life. The hind portion of the bee’s body is the abdomen that is made up of segments in the form of rings. The abdomen of the bee functions as a chemistry laboratory to produce honey.
The colors of honey vary as stated in the Quran. They change according to the climate, season and weather conditions and the sources where nectar is obtained. The color of honey ranges from dark brown to green, among which the light yellow is preferred. In the honey industry, modern countries with developed techniques use a colorimeter to establish the exact description of honey’s color.
THE HONEY DANCES OF BEES
At the beginning of the verse, reference is made to the collection of nectar. The female bees not only produce honey, but also assume the duty of collecting the raw material from flowers to be eventually transformed into honey. During this process of seeking the nectar, incredible phenomena occur.
The bee that has located the spot where there is nectar to be collected returns to the hive to inform her sisters about the location of flowers. The scout bees returning to the hive perform circular dances or tail-wagging movements on the comb. These dances indicate not only that the scouts have found nectar or pollen and that the other workers should go out and seek it, but they are actually performing an amazing charade that conveys precise information to their sisters about the direction and the distance of the location of a newfound source.
Sometimes a normal adult must attend a dance course for six weeks while a bee, whose lifetime is but six weeks, is able to perform a dance for communication purposes. The bee’s calculation on her way back to the hive is also of great interest. The bee makes her calculation according to the position of the sun. The sun changes its locality one degree per four minutes. The bee that has spotted the location of her food also calculates her return journey as directly and correctly as possible in relation to the sun. She performs this without any error. All these calculations and harmonious coexistence within the hive cannot possibly be explained by pure coincidence or after a six-week-long training. So, all these are innate in her as an endowment of the Creator.
THE HEALING POWER OF HONEY
The verse speaks of the nutritive property of honey, a product of female bees. The regenerative property of honey is confirmed by medical authorities. In addition to its rich vitamin content, among its components are also such minerals such as calcium, potassium, magnesium, sodium, phosphorus as well as such metals as copper, iodine, iron, zinc, and hormones.
Thanks to the easy convertibility of its sugar content, it is easily assimilated. Honey facilitates the functioning of the brain, thanks to its other sugars. It contributes to the production of blood, to its cleansing and proper circulation. Honey provides for the requirement necessary for proper functioning of our physiology and also it is used externally in cosmetics and dermatology.
The fact that honey had healing properties was nothing new for communities all over the world. Therefore, I am not claiming that this was not a generally acknowledged fact at the time of the descent of the Quran. However there were also such superstitious beliefs as the healing effect of a camel’s urine, which was later falsely attributed to the Prophet in hadith books. The Quran never justifies any of such false ideas offered as elixirs. Had the Quran been a product of human imagination, it might also have contained at least a residue of such false beliefs.
The distribution of work of bees in a hive and the multiple tasks performed by bees is too complicated to explain within the scope of this book. The ventilation of the hive, regulating humidity and temperature, keeping a perfect hygienic medium in the hive; guarding the hive, discarding the unwanted foreign matter, dead bees, etc., secreting wax, propolis, all are amazing tasks. How can a bee, whose lifetime is but six weeks, know and perform such grandiose artistry? Without an intelligent Creator the fortuity of all these data is certainly unimaginable. Every inquirer into the doings of a bee - to whose properties there are references in the Quran - will observe the sublime artistry of God in the entity of an insect.
4- Also in your creation and spreading of the animals are signs for people of assured faith.
45-Kneeling, 4
Answer: Saying that one should believe what the Qur'an says because the Qur'an says so is circular logic. Likewise, saying I should believe the Bible because the Bible says to do so is circular logic. If I ever saw evidence *outside* of a religious text, I'd reconsider my beliefs...but the only evidence that's ever been offered to me is in the form of "The Bible says..." or "The Qur'an says..."
I have no reason to believe in your god nor in any other. What evidence do you have that Ra, Quetzalcoatl, or Zeus do not exist? Those gods were as real to their believers as your god is to you. The fact that your religious text says that your religious text is right is not compelling evidence to an outsider.
Question: are times changing in med school? Even medical students want conventional medicine to include alternative therapies
by S. L. Baker, features writer
(NaturalNews) Are up-and-coming young doctors going to practice the same kind of mainstream medicine as their predecessors? Will the next generation of docs turn up their noses at alternative therapies such as acupuncture, yoga, herbs and vitamins -- just like the majority of the current crop of docs? In what may come as a surprise to many mainstream physicians, the answer to those questions may be a resounding "no".
According to research published in the online edition of the peer-reviewed journal Evidence-based Complementary and Alternative Medicine (eCAM), 75 percent of medical students surveyed think it would be beneficial for conventional Western medicine to integrate with complementary and alternative medicine (CAM). CAM places emphasis on natural therapies and using the body's own healing powers instead of relying on drugs, vaccines and other standard Western treatments.
A University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) and University of California, San Diego, research team comprised of experts in the fields of CAM, integrative medicine, Western medicine, medical education and survey development created a first of its kind 30 question survey that was distributed to 126 U.S. medical schools. Some 1,770 medical students completed the survey -- roughly, about three percent of the 68,000 medical students nationwide. Although the response rate to the survey was fairly low, the researchers say it provided valuable insights into current medical students' perceptions of CAM.
For example, the findings revealed that 77 percent of the medical student participants agreed patients whose doctors are knowledgeable about complementary and alternative medicine in addition to conventional medicine benefit more than those whose doctors are only familiar with Western medicine. In fact, 74 percent agreed that a medical system which integrated conventional medicine with CAM could be more effective that either type of medicine used independently.
A whopping 84 percent of the participants surveyed said CAM contains beliefs, ideas and therapies that could benefit conventional medicine. Some of this attitudinal shift in medical students could be the result of personal experiences -- almost half
Answer: edit--when one has truth on their side and is a threat to big moneyed interests, then it follows the pattern of first they ignore you, then they riducule you, then they fight you, then you win. We will win this,,mark my words one person at a time.
Things on yahoo answers are heavily referenced and read for years to come by many. I think the depth of the answer I gave here feels dangerous to some for its evangelical style and potential influence on other's thinking and hence is a threat to moneyed interests and when the opposing side comes at you whether in a masked nice way or an insult, you can be sure you touched a nerve.
When one tries to dissuade people from listening to the content of those words, that is when you can be sure you need to read them.
For the truth of medicine's smoke and mirrors said in an intelligent, passionate way that has the potential to ignite the fire in other people's bellies or if they feel will lose them money, then they will seek to silence that voice or distract you or make you feel too busy to pay attention or foolish if you protest or something of that nature, then that is when you better start paying attention to that person and what they say.
now as far as my original answer here is is
That would be nice;
however, one would need to see at what year in their training these people were as they may not yet have been through the indoctrination/training yet which often drastically changes their perspective.
Years ago in a sociology class, I remember reading about a study on medical students. At first they had high compassion for patients and altruistic motives but as they advanced in their training, they began to change.
They started to just care about things that the professor valued and focused on in order to get high grades in a very competitive field. They began to look at patients as a way to an end. If a patient had say diabetes and they already had one with diabetes, they would be angry as they came to see the patient not as a suffering person but a step to learning more or so their case was a waste in the student's mind. The study said although once they graduated, they sometimes got back a small bit of caring again for people, but it never reached any where near the amount of empathy they initially had and stayed there.
I know my sister in the medical field said after a while, you only are moved by the most tragic of cases and it all gets routine as if you don't you will find it hard facing all the misery. So you self harden or else it just starts to come naturally after a while as things get routine, so one would need to take into account as these students are trained and as they are courted by the drug industry, their views may change.
Also as they are being trained by older generations who tend to either know little about alternative health or actively downplay/dislike it, they may not get teaching in it as doctors do not seem to really know much about it other than to say don't do it.
They are really bound in no small part by only using what is approved by the AMA People have actually lost their medical licenses for prescribing an "unapproved" vit B shot as the doctor got it from Europe as it was cheaper. Perhaps if they did something that was not standard, they open themselves up to malpractice suits which the insurance companies covering them for malpractice would frown upon thus risking potentially losing the doctor not doing the traditional stuff the needed insurance he needs which is in the back of their minds as they work.
I think they are often not allowed to go outside what the AMA says is approved treatment so and so treatment.
_________________________________________
The fact remains that the two modalities can never really be complementary as Dr Richard Schulze who healed the incurables points out as the standard treatments work against alternative health making it more difficult to heal, Although complimentary medicine may be good for allopaths, allopathic treatments are not good for the effectiveness of natural treatments. Doing them simultaneously decreases the chance that alternative health will work as it is harming the person further faster than the natural ways can heal them.
He recommends from his case histories with real dying people to never go to a doctor and to either chose one or the other (allopath or alternative) as the two are not compatible. While doing the two modalities together as "complimentary" medicine seeks to, using the alternative things helps the doctor as patients wants/demands them, but it does not help the patient as in most cases. the drugs and other treatments cause more problems than they solve making it harder to heal oneself naturally. The patient may get better not because the two were combined but rather in spite of it.
While conceding that some aspects of medical science/treatment are good, they fall in a minority of cases. They excel at things like making artificial limbs and reconstructive surgery for injuries or if your leg is on one side of the road after an accident and you another, artificial eyes, etc then you want their expertise and knowhow and technology but for chronic illness, they are failing except in making profits off of the ill.
The two modalities are at their core incompatible. It is all for show..this "complimentary" push..smoke and mirrors, as they tend to use the wimpier part of alternative health like maybe guided imagery or recommend a poor form of herb such as conventional capsules that have little value and are nearly impotent in phytochemicals (one needs things like organic/wildcrafted herbs in tincture form and a good tincture such as one can get making homemade as manufacturer's often use poor quality, cheaper herbs, do not use enough herbs in their formulas and don't let the tincture mature long enough as it is cheaper) and doctors really do not know enough about herbs to know this.
Thus their allowed/recommended alternative treatments seems to not be that potent nor does it overshadowing the allopathic stuff as superior;less one realize that the alternative is enough. One does not really need the allopathic stuff to heal chronic disease. They cannot take the risk on using
Question: Food riddle please answer? i need the link that you got it from .....thnks
Man became aware of me around 700 BC. Since ancient times I have been used as a food and as a medicine. For many years, I was used mainly in religious ceremonies as well as to embalm the deceased. I have long been known to have a multitude of healing powers with everything from relieving sore throats, allergies, to healing wounds. I taste great with peanut butter. I have as many antioxidants and phytochemicals as spinach, apples, oranges or strawberries. My main purpose is a great source of energy; athletes use me to maintain a consistent blood sugar levels. I also have cancer-preventing and anti-tumor properties. I have been used for years as an antiseptic for treatment of ulcers, burns and wounds. I am also a good source of vitamin B2, B6, iron and manganese. You must use me in the raw form; heat destroys all my health and nutritional benefits.

Question: Blurry vision after one month of LASIK? I went for eye checkup after one month of lasik surgery on 14/3/2007. Now, my right eye is 6/6 vision. Left eye is -0.5. Before lasik both the eyes have -4 power. Still i am seeing blurred vision only. While lubricating with drops i am able to see clear vision. But that is for few seconds only. Dr. told it is because of dry eye. I have done shirmer test also. The dry condition is normal only (25ml).
Now my question is blurred vision is because of dry eye or residual power in my left eye?
Then this residual power will be a constant or will it be a fluctuating power (either decrease or increase)?
Whether this residual power can be reduced by taking vitamin A tablets?
How can i know healing is over or not?
When healing will be over?
can i able to see without blurred vision without glasses?
Kindly answer my questions. I am really disappointed because of blurry vision.
Now i am taking refresh liquigel for one hour. Still i am seeing blurred only. Is it necessary do enhancement treatment.
Answer: Hate to tell you Arkansas but you are way off base. Blurred vision can be caused by dry eye syndrome. There is nothing in the question that indicates that blindness is inevitable. No one but your eye doctor can determine that status. Everyones body heals at it's own pace and only time will tell if the vision clears up.

Answer: Hello. I would like to share my experiences with you. I had my bladeless Intralase Lasik on 3/21/07 here in Philadelphia. Prior to the surgery, I did a lot of research, A LOT! And I learned all the advantages and disadvantages after surgery and how important it is to pick a qualified and experienced surgeon. I had a -7.00 in both eyes with astigmatism before the surgery. One month later, I am seeing 20/20 vision in each eye, which is considered perfect vision. I have mild dryness and my night vision is normal. Blurry vision is a side effect with Lasik. I was fortunate enough to not have this, however, when my eyes become dry, I add a drop of lubricant and the blurriness goes away. That blurriness is because of the mild dry eye. If you are having other blurriness, you should ask your doctor about this. From the research I have done, it suggests that people can see blurry for a few months after surgery. I have a co-worker who had the traditional LASIK done, and her eyes were blurry for two months after surgery. She was disappointed too, but it eventually went away. You should be going for regular check ups with your LASIK surgeon as well as your regular eye doctor for second opinions. Research suggests that it can take months for the eye to be totally healed, and even some research suggests that the "flap" that is created during surgery, may never heal to 100%. In regards to vitamins, from what I've read and been told by eye doctors, is that Omega 3 fatty acids help with the dryness of the eye. I have have not heard anything about vitamin A. Dryness is common, its the most common side effect of LASIK. Dryness can stay with your eye for up to a year, so be prepared for that. If you do not feel that you are getting good help from your Lasik surgeon, please go see another surgeon or eye doctor for a second opinion. Your eyes are very important! I listed a few web sites below for you to check out. The first two web sites, are two web sites that I researched before I had my surgery. These sites helped me see the disadvantages that could happen with this surgery. However, all the research suggests to make sure you choose a good surgeon who is factual and experienced. The last web site I listed is the center where I had my bladeless lasik performed. I just wanted to include this so you could see what other doctors are doing and maybe that could help with the questions you ask your surgeon or doctor. I wish you the very best of luck.
Question: any fruitarians around? A friend sent this to me ~ Pretty Interesting!
Eating Fruit - this opened my eyes.
Dr Stephen Mak is a friend of mine at the BSF course. He treats terminal ill cancer patients by "un-orthodox" way and many patients recovered. He explains to me before he is using solar energy to clear the illnesses of his patients. He believes on natural healing in the body against illnesses. See the article below.
Thanks for the email on fruits and juices. It is one of the strategies to heal cancer. As of late, my success rate in curing cancer is about 80%. Cancer patients shouldn't die. The cure for cancer is already found. It is whether you believe it or not. I am sorry for the hundreds of cancer patients who die under the conventional treatments.
Thanks and God bless.
Dr Stephen Mak
EATING FRUIT...
We all think eating fruits means just buying fruits, cutting it and just popping it into our mouths. It's not as easy as you think. It's important to know how and when to eat.
What is the correct way of eating fruits?
IT MEANS NOT EATING FRUITS AFTER YOUR MEALS! * FRUITS SHOULD BE EATEN ON AN EMPTY STOMACH.
If you eat fruit like that, it will play a major role to detoxify your system, supplying you with a great deal of energy for weight loss and other life activities.
FRUIT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT FOOD. Let's say you eat two slices of bread and then a slice of fruit. The slice of fruit is ready to go straight through the stomach into the intestines, but it is prevented from doing so.
In the meantime the whole meal rots and ferments and turns to acid. The minute the fruit comes into contact with the food in the stomach and digestive juices, the entire mass of food begins to spoil....
So please eat your fruits on an empty stomach or before your meals! You have heard people complaining — every time I eat watermelon I burp, when I eat durian my stomach bloats up, when I eat a banana I feel like running to the toilet, etc — actually all this will not arise if you eat the fruit on an empty stomach. The fruit mixes with the putrefying other food and produces gas and hence you will bloat!
Graying hair, balding, nervous outburst, and dark circles under the eyes all these will NOT happen if you take fruits on an empty stomach.
There is no such thing as some fruits, like orange and lemon are acidic, because all fruits become alkaline in our body, according to Dr. Herbert Shelton who did research on this matter. If you have mastered the correct way of eating fruits, you have the Secret of beauty, longevity, health, energy, happiness and normal weight.
When you need to drink fruit juice - drink only fresh fruit juice, NOT from the cans. Don't even drink juice that has been heated up. Don't eat cooked fruits because you don't get the nutrients at all. You only get to taste. Cooking destroys all the vitamins.
But eating a whole fruit is better than drinking the juice. If you should drink the juice, drink it mouthful by mouthful slowly, because you must let it mix with your saliva before swallowing it. You can go on a 3-day fruit fast to cleanse your body. Just eat fruits and drink fruit juice throughout the 3 days and you will be surprised when your friends tell you how radiant you look!
KIWI: Tiny but mighty. This is a good source of potassium, magnesium, vitamin E & fiber. Its vitamin C content is twice that of an orange.
APPLE: An apple a day keeps the doctor away? Although an apple has a low vitamin C content, it has antioxidants & flavonoids which enhances the activity of vitamin C thereby helping to lower the risks of colon cancer, heart attack & stroke.
STRAWBERRY: Protective Fruit. Strawberries have the highest total antioxidant power among major fruits & protect the body from cancer-causing, blood vessel-clogging free radicals.
ORANGE : Sweetest medicine. Taking 2-4 oranges a day may help keep colds away, lower cholesterol, prevent & dissolve kidney stones as well as lessens the risk of colon cancer.
WATERMELON: Coolest thirst quencher. Composed of 92% water, it is also packed with a giant dose of glutathione, which helps boost our immune system. They are also a key source of lycopene — the cancer fighting oxidant. Other nutrients found in watermelon are vitamin C & Potassium.
GUAVA & PAPAYA: Top awards for vitamin C. They are the clear winners for their high vitamin C content.. Guava is also rich in fiber, which helps prevent constipation. Papaya is rich in carotene; this is good for your eyes.
Drinking Cold water after a meal = Cancer! Can u believe this?? For those who like to drink cold water, this article is applicable to you. It is nice to have a cup of cold drink after a meal. However, the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just consumed. It will slow down the digestion. Once this 'sludge' reacts with the acid, it will break down
Answer: This sounds very suspicious. I do not disagree for a moment that fruit is very good stuff. However, much of the reasoning in this sounds a lot like pseudoscience and quackery.
Examples:
"Drinking Cold water after a meal = Cancer! Can u believe this??"
No. Frankly I am cannot. The causes of cancer are very complex and to make such simplistic statements is nonsensical.
"Graying hair, balding, nervous outburst, and dark circles under the eyes all these will NOT happen if you take fruits on an empty stomach."
These are extremely large and general claims. Since they seem too good to be true, they probably are.
"If you have mastered the correct way of eating fruits, you have the Secret of beauty, longevity, health, energy, happiness and normal weight. "
As for the last point. Note also that claims like 'happiness' and 'health' are very vague and would be difficult to prove anyway.
"If you should drink the juice, drink it mouthful by mouthful slowly, because you must let it mix with your saliva before swallowing it."
Why should it need to mix with the saliva? Why would that help? Saliva breaks down starch into sugar. It also begins the process of breaking down fats. Most fruits have insignificant starch and fat content. So, what would saliva do to be so beneficial.
I must say that I tend to eat fruit before eating anything else anyway. Not because of all this nonsense. Just because, while I am getting the water boiling for macaroni, toasting bread etc, I eat it as a snack. Will doing so magically ward off cancer? I doubt it.
Question: What is my Medical Condition? First let me say that I don't really believe in taking medicine. I've been always focusing on healing myself through herbs and natural things. I researched everything I can do for myself to limit the pain. I take vitamins. I eat healthy. I work out when I can bare it. It was hard at first to have to will power to adjust to this lifestyle at such a young age, but I got it under control now. I don't do drugs and only drink on special occasions. I'm 20 years old and struggling with fibromayaliga, or what they think I have, but I think I have something that I don't know about, and it's been bothering me a lot. The main thing that worried me lately is that my right eye the skin above my eyebrow is slowly overtime sagging. Now, I know that sounds silly, but I've known my face for as long as I can remember, and I definitely see a change. A fact that you should know that I think might have something to so with this is ..when I was 15 I was hit in the face with a softball during a game I was playing and I fractured the bone below my eye. I guess would be called the cheek bone. I was tested for pretty much everything that go along with these symptoms. I don't take any medication. I'm not worried about the pain at this point. I am worried about what medical condition I really have. To me I can't except the fact that I only have Fibromayaliga. Anyways hear are a list of my symptoms.
My symptoms:
TMJ
Horrible Gas pain
Muscle spasms
Joint, muscle and bone pain.
Cracking of joints
I use to have 20/20 Vision but now I feel like that's changed
Constant headaches
Random light headedness
Anemia
Ringing in ears
Face pain
Stiffness
Anxiety attacks
toe numbness
loss of some hair
Bruise easily
loss of weight
This is the gist of the symptoms.
At first I thought I might of had Lyme. They tested me twice and the results both came back negative. Still kind of convinced I have it. Can some one please feed me with some knowledgeable information, and please no negative feed back. Thanks.
Answer: ditto to what Cat said..... you must persist. Sounds as if you are on to something, and I saw the same show. I can't remember how long it took, but the Lyme tests only come back positive at certain points in the course of the disease.
But.... I have to say that almost every symptom you list does also point to fibromyalgia.... and a LOT of the symptoms often accompany anxiety and/or panic attacks.
I wish the best for you. Try and be patient, persist, insist on tests and try some relaxation techniques. Honestly, regardless of what it is... you are going to need to learn to relax and put the least amount of stress on your body and mind as possible.
Peace.

Question: What supplements/substances can be used in combination with Adderall to improve overall health? ----To all you Curious Georges and Intellectuals, I'm 20 years of age and have little fear of drugs, luckily I'm able to maintain a controlled need/want for them. I hope to put together an efficient daily regiment that works against the damage caused by the ill effects of the bad habits me and thousands of other people are so good at doing. SO, if you clicked this question to warn me Adderall and related amphetamines are addicting and blah blah blah i know that so please go worry somewhere else and gtfo.
----About two months ago I was prescribed Adderall(30 mg) IR 2-3 times a day for a minor case of ADHD and off-label use for my depression and anxiety disorder in combination with (100mg) of Imipramine taken at night. Unfortunately, there are always negative effects. My physical health has been suffering and i plan to improve that through necessary minerals/vitamins/other natural supplements/diet/exercise/etc..If u have tips and cool tricks post those too. (ex. found that Vitamin C removes whatever is left so i can sleep)
~~~Noticeable Negative Effects ~~~
----My skin, everyday cuts n bruises take a day or so longer to heal. skin looks slightly more transparent and splotchy on limbs and face (Skin usually covered by clothing much more opiate. Around my eyes are darker and dryer (I'm aware of sleep deprivation effects)
----My endurance is very limited, I'm 5'9 at 150lbs. Always been a sprinter, But recent months I get tired quick, I feel the same strength and power only 5-10 minutes or rest later, but its not too efficient, and annoying to stop n go stop n go.
----My heart beats hard and fast, the chance of an arrhythmia concerns me and is not only possible but common in Amphetamine use and abuse. So i would like to improve my cardio.
----Headaches,They occur maybe twice to 3 times a month and are most painful at the top of my head and sometimes above the right ear. They usually are the start of a crash and soon after severe exhaustion takes the course. anything that could reduce those would be nice/(anything that reduces crash symptoms) .....=)
----Minor Hand tremors, extremely annoying and frustrating. Someone suggested meditation and exhaling slow, it works but is temporary relief. They occur in general when my blood gets moving and hot, I'd like to know why and ways n tricks of reducing these side effects.
Currently taking
Adderall IR 30mg 2-3 times daily
Imipramine 100mg at night
Folic Acid 800 mcg in the morning with food
Flax Seed Oil 1000mg 2-3 times daily with food
Vitamin E 400 IU (iono what UI means o.O) 2-3 daily with food
Cod Liver Oil - 2-3 times daily with food
Thank You to all who reply =)
Answer: Here's what I found. The vitamin C acidifies the gut thus causing the Adderall to be less absorbed so it makes sense that it brings you down a little. Adderall increased blood levels of magnesium so it changes the ratio of magnesium to calcium. Calcium regulates the contraction of muscle and magnesium the relaxation of the muscle so the lack of strength stamina could be related to that. The tremors are likely just part of taking amphetamines. L-Tyrosine (amino acid) can enhance the effects of Adderall but PLEASE use it to take less of the drug not get a bigger kick. B6 helps with anxiety associated with the amphetamine use and it would be worth a try to see if it helped some of the other symptoms. Alcohol causes the drug to concentrate in the blood stream (especially related to heart problems!!) so you really really want to avoid alcohol.
As far as the Imipramine it can deplete Coq10 which could be the true root of the heart and stamina issues. I would take Coq10 and here is the very best source I know http://www.newchapter.com/products/coq10-food-complex
Alcohol needs to be avoided with this one, too.
A good combination B vitamin is called for with the use of both drugs. Here are two I like

If you ever decide you want to reduce or stop these meds and deal with it all naturally let me know. I would be glad to assist you in anyway I can.
Question: Does anyone feel like they wasted time in the evangelical church.? I remember the judging, the critisisim, the stuff they called love when it was more like calling an apple a orange because someone said Vitamin c was good for you.
I remember the good and genuine people but also the crazies who wanted "the power" and the poor fundies who couldnt witness to others because they really had nothing in their heart.
Yet they were told that they should so constantly felt guilty and thought they were persecuted because they were not allowed or accepted when they riddiculed others.
Anyone else remember that, tell the stories, as they will heal us all.
Isint it crazy that the fundie evangelical church could be the one thing keeping people from the love of god.
Oh yeah and dont quote the bible at me, I know it far better that you!! - (Advice is only for crazy fundies, not people seeking truth or Catholic brothers and sisters)
Answer: I don't see it as time wasted, and I spent a good many years as an evangelical. I was baptized there, a baptism that the Catholic Church accepted as completely valid when I converted, so among other things that tells me I was in a place that taught the truth -- if not the revealed truth in its entirety -- of Christianity. The Bible studies were not time wasted, either; how can any time spent studying Scripture return void? (It can't; Scripture itself says as much.)
I expressed it in an answer to another question earlier today in this way: I was there in the evangelical church because that's where God wanted me to be, but after a time it became clear to me that I was meant to "visit" and learn but it was not my home. "Home", I found out, was with Christ in the Eucharist.
I did see or experience much of the negatives you have mentioned, but even so -- they are our brothers, and deserve our prayers rather than condemnation and derision.

Answer: THANKS FOR THE INFORMATION
Question: Heat Rash + poison, what can I do? This summer I got a horrible heat rash and its all over my arms and hands. I itch it and it gets worse and spreads. I got it from being in a hot trailer all day with 3 cats who infest the place with cat hair and then I itch. I also have some type of poison but its not bad but it spreads very slowly and its very potent to the "Caladryl Clear" I use which is meant for it. I dont try to itch but I itch it in my sleep for some reason and I dont even know it. I itch the rash till my skin opens up. Its just horrible.
After I get done taking my shower my skin is very dry and flaky to where it hurts to just move my arm. I would let it gradually heal but I have school and I dont want anyone to notice it.
This has been with me for 2 months and my will power wheres off so I end up itching it again. I'm sick of it.
So its.
- little bit of poison on my hand. The poison has been on my finger for months but never spread.
- Heat rash on my hands and arms.
- Dry skin after my shower. It doesnt help at all.
So if anyone has any tips or recommendations for any lotions I can use for ANY of these things can you please tell me? Can vitamin E help? Lotions? Food? Anything?
Answer: Ugh! Reminds me of when I had horrible eczema! Some nights were so bad that I couldn't sleep because of the all-over irritation and "itchiness" during hot summer months.
Later on in life, I found out that my eczema was triggered by cow's milk. No matter what I applied, cow milk "fed" my eczema. As soon as I stopped drinking cow's milk, my occurrences of eczema became minimal to NONE.
For the most part, your best bet would be to see a dermatologist. However, here are some tips that will hopefully help you get by:
Take cool showers, less frequently while you heal. Hot water severely irritates your skin and AVOID harsh, scented soaps. All of those chemicals irritate your skin even more. If at all possible, just wash certain important parts and avoid wetting everything else for prolonged periods of time. Water has a drying effect on the skin.
PAT yourself dry and apply heavy-scented moisturizing lotions or topical treatments. AVOID scented lotions. I found that even Aveno irritated my skin. Its BEST to use hydrocortisone lotions with added moisturizes already in them. You can get it from your local pharmacy. Apply up to three times a day.
DO NOT use OINTMENTS during hot weather/summer months. Ointments are petroleum jelly/oil-based topical solutions which do not let your skin breathe in hot weather. In fact, it traps heat thus making irritation worse. I personally do not like using ointments at all, but that is my preference.
Wear breathable fabrics such as cotton! Avoid clingy garments or itchy/scratchy fabrics which will irritate you further.
Avoid strong cleaning agents as they further dry your skin. Use gentle cleaners when doing your laundry.
Avoid cologne/perfume, alcohol, and smoking of any kind.
DRINK LOTS OF WATER! Consider taking a multivitamin and do your best to control stress. I know its difficult in this situation, but stress can hinder your recovery significantly.
Also, if you know you are allergic to cats, your best bet is to stay away from them, especially while you're healing. Thoroughly clean everything you had (clothes, etc) while you were with them. You may be itching at night because there are cat hairs/dander in your bed/sheet/clothes. Clean and or get rid of these them (bed sheets, etc).
Feel free to message me for more tips.
