Nutrition Remedy

Question: Is there an "old school" home remedy, vitamin or treatment to prevent asthma in an aging cat? I have a 14-year-old cat who has started to show signs of asthma. She needs to lose weight (too many carbs in dry food, I want better pet nutrition labeling) so the vet recommend that avoid using steroids unless it becomes necessary. Money is tight, so short of homeopathic and other pharmaceuticals I might find on the Internet, I'm wondering if there are alternative approaches, tactics or remedies.

Answer: Get some unprocessed sea salt and add a little to her water. Use 1/8 tsp per each 16 oz of water (you'll need to figure the appropriate dosage according to how much water you give her). Water and salt keeps the airways open. This is actually meant for people's use, but it works for pets, too.

Question: Is anyone out there managing an illness without medication successfully, using natural remedies, nutrition etc

Answer: I had severely high cholesteral and I refused to take the prescription meds my doctor wanted to give me. I researched which supplements to take, herbs, and nutrition. I retested in 1 1/2 months and my cholesteral reading was perfect! My doctor was amazed. I also use bio-identical hormone cream for peri-menopause. It works wonderfully and I knew when the time came that I would never use conventional Hormone Replacement Therapy. Another time I was getting severe hives for months and the doctors want to put you on steroids and antihistamines. No way! Again I did my research and I did a 30 day colonix and detox and never had hives again! If you do your homework you can usually find something that works other than precscription meds. Now, on the other hand, there are times you do need prescription meds. I had strep throat and had to take antibiotics. You just have to do what feels right for you and listen to your body.

Now I feel like I cant cope or see reality. in your opinion DRUGS OR NOT??

The best medicine will be when will be a perfect fusion between the actual conventional medicine and so-called alternative medicine that is not so "alternative". Until then, each one works by appropriate interests of its field. In my opinion, when is a matter of life or death ,the conventional medicine is superior, with all the knowledge and technology and accumulation of experience. But where is a chronic suffering that doesn't let you to live a normal life but nor kills you, just torture you day after day, there, to the conventional medicine isn't a good solution , with all the respect to different drugs.Then people are looking for alternatives Never I saw a cured depression with drugs Amelioration yes but not cured. The same I can tell you about Parkinson and many digestive illness for example.My strong opinion is that a person in such case must to take himself on hands and change attitude being active in self-healing.The possibilities are so many,so close to you and finally, so cheap....and so effective.

Question: Looking for an outstanding school of nutrition/ aromatherapy/aruveda/flower star remedies? Considering Bastyr since they also have a culinary program

Answer: Just make sure it's ACCREDITED by an agency approved by the US Department of Education (USDE) and/or the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA). When it comes to the area of study you've specified, one can't throw a rock without hitting a school that's unaccredited... or, worse, a downright diploma mill. Never take any school's word for it that it's accredited. Always, always, always look it up in either or both of the USDE and/or CHEA databases at: http://www.chea.org/search http://ope.ed.gov/accreditation If the school in which you're interested isn't in one or both of those databases, then, no matter what it claims, it is NOT accredited. Unaccredited schools which are nevertheless still basically credible (and not diploma mills) sometimes fudge a little on their accreditation status; and diploma mills nearly ALWAYS lie... some of them going to far as to create their own fake (but nevertheless impressive sounding) accreditors. Look it up. Always. If you're talking about this place... Bastyr University 14500 Juanita Drive N.E. Kenmore, WA 98028 United States Phone: 425-823-1300 http://www.bastyr.edu ...then it is, indeed, accredited by a USDE- and CHEA-approved accreditor. And, by the way, it's a REALLY good school. If you can get into it, then look no further. Seriously. Hope that helps.

Question: Home Remedy for Chronic Nasal Inflammation & Congestion? My nasal passage are chronically swollen and inflamed. Serious allergies other than seasonal have been ruled out, and I've simply tried to tolerate this as I cannot take antihistamines or decongestants due to adverse reactions, but the post-nasal drip is driving me insane. I do not like to take medications and would rather try natural remedies, supplements, nutrition cures etc... I've tried many of the obvious remedies, such as steaming, drinking plenty of fluids, hot/cold compresses, etc. so I would appreciate any ideas you might have. [Thanks!] PS- please, no spamming to wholesale vitamin websites ;-)

Answer: nasal flushes? using vicks at night?my wife does this. she puts a little just at the edge of each nostril. there are homeopathic websites for this.

Question: What kind of doctor would I be considered if I wanted to work with nutrition, natural remedies....? I like to cook and prepare food, and I love to study nutrition. But, nutritionists don't make that great of money, so I want to incorporate other more advanced occupations. My mother speaks of having gone to a "natural doctor that promotes wellness and long term treatment". I'd also like to work with inpatients, if possible. If not, that's fine. But, is there any type of 'doctor' that does this? I'm big on natural/herbal, being healthy. That's what I'd like to have in my career as well. Also, I'm wanting to take a psychology course while I'm still in highschool. Maybe that could be added to what I could be and what I'll study in college? I found it, it's not osteopathic, it is naturopathic. But thank you :)

One of these days, the FDA is going to find the guts to crack down on these scams and many altmed "holistic nutritionists" are going to be out of work, if not in jail.
