Essiac - The Facts Behind The Controversial Herbal Tea Essiac

By Robert Scheer

Renee Caisse was a Registered Nurse in Canada when she developed the recipe for Essiac, an herbal tea that has been used as an alternative cancer treatment for more than 80 years. But Nurse Caisse did not claim to have invented the recipe for Essiac.

In 1922, Renee Caisse met an elderly woman who told her an amazing story. The woman said she once had breast cancer, but it was cured by drinking tea made from certain herbs that grew in northern Ontario. Furthermore, she said the formula had been given to her by an old Native Indian healer -- a traditional medicine man.

Years later, when Ms. Caisse's aunt was diagnosed with cancer, Renee remembered the formula she had written down. With the permission of her aunt's doctor, Ms. Caisse brewed a batch of the herbal tea and gave it to her aunt. In her book, "I was Canada's Cancer Nurse," Caisse wrote that, after having been given up by the medical profession as hopeless, her aunt lived for 21 more years after being treated with her herbal tea. She said that her aunt's doctor was so impressed, he asked Caisse to use her formula on some of his other cancer patients.

Caisse went on to set up a clinic in Bracebridge, Ontario, where she used Essiac to tread thousands of cancer patients. One doctor who was particularly impressed by Caisse's work was Frederic J. Banting, who won a Nobel Prize for Medicine in 1923 for the discovery of insulin. In her book, Caisse quotes Dr. Banting as saying "Essiac must actuate the pancreatic gland into normal functioning."

Nevertheless, the medical establishment continues to be skeptical about the efficacy of Essiac. It is against the law to claim that Essiac is a cure for any medical ailment, so the herbal tea is currently being marketed as a dietary supplement.

The esteemed cancer researcher, Ralph W. Moss, Ph.D. reported that Essiac was tested in the 1970s at two well-respected cancer research institutes, both of which concluded that Essiac was not proven to cause any anti-cancer activity in animals. Nevertheless, Dr. Moss said, Essiac "remains worth investigating" for two reasons: on-going anecdotal reports of its usefulness and because the individual ingredients used in the Essiac formula have been proven to possess anti-cancer properties. The four herbs in the original Essiac formula are Slippery Elm inner bark, Burdock root, Sheep Sorrel and Indian Rhubarb Root.

In conclusion, it should be noted that the name Essiac comes from the backward spelling of Renee Caisse's last name.

Chiropractic and Swine Flu

By Jeremy S. McMinn

What could Chiropractic possibly have to do with swine flu? More than meets the eye in fact.

We all know that when you are sick, your immune system is the part of your body that fights off viruses and nasties with all its might. Therefore it would make sense to make sure your immune system is functioning optimally while swine flu is making its rounds (in fact, it should be optimal at all times but that's for a different article). So can Chiropractic help your immune system function at its best?

Sure it can! Studies show that being adjusted once per week can increase your immune system function by up to 400%

One of the most important studies about Chiropractic and the immune system was performed by Ronald Pero, Ph.D., chief of cancer prevention research at New York's Preventive Medicine Institute and professor of medicine at New York University. It showed the positive effect that chiropractic has on the immune system for overall wellbeing and health.

On top of this we recommend several other self care tips below.

• Expose yourself to a minimal amount of media - Doom and gloom swine flu pandemic predictions cause fear, anxiety and stress which in turn affects your immune system function in a negative manner.
• Sleep - Make sure you are getting enough sleep. This is when your body does its best work. I don't need to tell you how much sleep you should be getting, only you know that.
• Toxins and drugs- Limit the amount of toxins and drugs that you ingest as this will put unneccesary strain on your body. If you smoke, now is a good time to give up. The lungs are the organ most affected by swine flu.
• Eat well - Fresh vegetables, fruit and water. Less processed and junk food. Need I say more?
• Exercise - If the gym or running along the seafront is not your thing, find yourselves a cheap 2nd hand rebounder and use it for 10 minutes a day to improve your fitness and health. The benefits on the immune system are numerous.

Why You Want To Use Herbs Daily

By Denise Palmer

To help your body heal itself naturally, and to optimize your daily health, here are 5 reasons why you should consider taking herbs and using herbal remedies daily.

1. Build Your Immune System. A healthy immune system goes a long ways toward keeping your body healthy. Herbal remedies help create and sustain a healthy immune system which helps your body fight off many common infections like the common cold, as well as cancer and other degenerative diseases. Some common herbs that help you build a stronger immune system are: * astragalus * ligustrum * reishi * nettle herb

2. Increased Energy. Unfortunately, today, we are bombarded with products and advertisers that lead us to believe that caffeine is what we all need to have more energy. But the fact of the matter is caffeine, in large amounts, consumed on a regular basis, does the exact opposite. It actually drains our natural energies, quickly, leaving us feeling poorly even disrupting our sleep. Herbal remedies offer a deeper, more natural, long-lasting energy. Here are some basic ways to increase your energy:

* Herbal energy boosters without caffeine. Natural energy herbs are effective in helping your body use more energy, more efficiently. Ginseng is a common and very effective energy-promoting herb.

* Kava, California poppy extract and chamomile tea are all muscle-relaxing herbs. Tension wastes energy and these herbs will help you release that tension and increase your energy.

Another great way to naturally release tension and help your body use its' energy more effectively and efficiently, is deep breathing and stretching exercises, including yoga.

* Avoid sugars. In addition to depleting deep energy from your body, sugars offer absolutely no benefits to your health.

3. Better Digestion. The key to better overall health and wellness is digestion. Good digestion supports your immune system, increases your energy and even helps your body detoxify and strengthen.

4. Heart Disease and Cancer. The leading cause of death in men and women, heart disease can be counter-acted with cardiovascular-protective herbs as well as immune boosting herbal remedies. One out of 3 Americans develops some form of cancer in their lifetime. Again, herbs that improve the immune system can help avoid the formation of cancer cells and remove them from the body. Used as a daily cancer protectant and immune system builder, the herbs listed above can help you regain and maintain better health.

5. Responsible Health Care. Perhaps the most important reason to use herbs daily is to take control of your own health and well being. Herbal remedies have been around for centuries and have been called the "people's medicine". They can be as simple as growing your own in pots or gardens. They can safely and effectively be used daily in a variety of different ways from teas and tinctures to cooking, bathing and even applying directly to the skin for direct absorption. Even though herbs from your garden are unregulated, they are still much safer, and often equally if not more effective, than most strictly regulated drugs marketed by doctors and sold by pharmaceutical companies.

Fat Burning Tips

By: Weight Loss

These fat burning tips will help you discover the secrets to losing weight. All those who are fed up with using different fat burning formulas will find this reading valuable. The fat burning process is a combination of a balanced diet and exercises.

It is important to note here that all individuals are different, so different tips will show different results in people. The best thing you can do is to be consistent so your body has the chance to adapt to the new changes. With some individuals these tips take time to show results but the wait is worth it.

Tip # 1
The number 1 fat burning tip is you need to make the necessary adjustments in your current diet. These adjustments can be brought about by lowering your total calories consumed and by putting your salt consumption in check. These excessive empty calories are converted into fat. Excessive sodium when combined with fat compels the body to retain water. Water retention and fat storage cause you to gain weight. Make sure to always check the sodium levels in the seasonings you use, as this can easily amount to weight gain in the body.

Tip # 2
This tip may sound simple but it is too good to be true. Fat burning is always about using more calories than the ones that are consumed. Next time you go grocery shopping hunt for those high calorie substitutes. Nowadays the lower calorie foods are readily available in the market. Let’s take butter as an example. If you love the taste of butter on your foods try substituting it with a butter spray. I can’t believe its not butter spray has almost zero calories but all of that great butter flavor that you love.

Tip # 3
The next fat burning tip most people are completely unaware of. You probably of heard that you shouldn’t eat before you go to bed. The problem is not eating before bed but that we consume so many calories at night and don’t allow are bodies to burn it off. The reason this happens is because we tend to skip meals and not eat enough calories during the day. Instead of worrying about eating before bed you need to worry about making sure you eat enough during the day. Eat 5-6 small meals a day with the last one being a light meal low in calories. You’ll be surprised to see the effects of this fat burning tip alone. Remember if you are eating a large meal and going straight to bed chances are you are going to store a lot of those calories as fat for fuel for the next day.

Tip # 4
We all know that we need to exercise. I hate to break it to you but if you want your body to go into a fat burning mode, you need to move more and burn some calories. To speed up fat burning you have to raise your metabolism. There are many exercises that are specifically designed for fat burning. With a combination of reduced calories and fat burning exercises you will quickly drop those unwanted pounds. An example of fat burning exercises would be interval training and weight lifting. Interval training is a method used by top athletes and bodybuilders to quickly shed the fat.

Weight lifting won’t just make you stronger and give you bigger muscles but the extra muscle mass will increase your metabolism helping you to burn more calories when you aren’t at the gym. A faster metabolism means you’re burning more calories which creates a fat burning environment and a slimmer you.

To sum it all up you need to watch your calories and combine that with a routine of solid fat burning exercises.

In today’s world of 2 minute instant noodles, there are lots of speculations about how to adopt the healthy eating habits to achieve those healthy families. A healthy eating plan is helpful to a great extent as it includes major calculations about the nutrients and ingredients that a human body needs.

One of the most important points of healthy living is never to skip breakfasts as they are the most significant part of a day’s meals and they are able to keep you going for the entire day. The other big thing to remember is not eating so many bigger meals. Instead, meals should be broken down into several smaller meals so that the body will be able to absorb the food in a better way. Many healthy families have reported that as a part of healthy lifestyles, they follow a regular time table for their meals and by having meals at the right time daily, they are able to keep themselves in perfect shapes.

When we talk about healthy food and healthy eating habits, the very first thing that comes to our mind includes fruits and vegetables. No doubt, they should be a mandatory part of a person’s diet without which, a proper nutritious diet is not possible at all. While looking for healthy eating foods, you should ensure that they are natural and organic as far as possible. You should try to avoid artificial and canned foods as far as possible and also make sure that you consume some cereals also for your breakfast. These are healthy foods to be eaten in the morning as they are able to provide enough energy to the person’s body. It is also better to eat green foods as much as possible as they are extremely rich in nutrients like calcium, fiber and vitamin C.

Some of the most popular healthy food items include Broccoli, wild salmon, grape tomatoes, milk and sweet potatoes. It is wise to make a list of which foods you should eat and which foods you should avoid so that it will become easier to understand which foods you should consume. The main type of food that should be avoided are fats and foods that contain too much of sugar. Healthy foods such as different types of nuts not only provide a lot of energy to the body but also a great deal of body strength.

People who believe in healthy lifestyle and healthy living are looking for ways through which they can prepare food at their own home. We all know the unhealthy ways of dealing with food in restaurants and unreliable quality of grains ground in grinding mills in the market. Several healthy cooking equipments are available in the market including juicers, flour and grain mills, blenders, sprouters and cookers so that you can prepare your own food with your own hands and eliminate any chances of adulteration and unhygienic methods of cooking.

All these healthy cooking equipments help the consumers to carry out all methods of cooking at their own home including sprouting, roasting, baking and blending and adopt a healthy lifestyle of living.

Age gracefully

By: Richard Haigh

"Oh, you are so young looking"; how we all like to hear that!

As well as maintaining a favourable physical appearance and ability, like walking or dancing, as well as looking young, it is equally important that we also maintain a strong monetary, social and mental wellness. However, this focus on the physical side to getting old should not stop us from remembering that there are 3 other keys to healthy aging.

What you should bThere are many things to think about with the financial side of retirement and it is important because the last thing you want to do is suffer financially later in life.

Social wellness and companionship is very important for healthy aging. Having friends and seeing other people is actually documented to keep us young and help us live longer. Volunteering, travelling or simply going out for a meal now and again helps tremendously.

You best be alert to your mental state because it is so important to you staying healthy as you get older. Do something with your brain on a daily basis, crosswords, sudoko, or whatever.

Studies have shown that a healthy diet can help slow down or even prevent many of the age-related conditions and diseases. Healthy aging is simply living a healthier life longer, so eat better now.

If you wish to stay young and healthy, you need to be active, eat the right food, drink water, sleep well and do not do the things that you know are bad for you like smoking and drinking to excess.

Further than that, there are some specific foods and drinks that can help decrease aging signs and increase your health.

You will need to have antioxidants in your diet to get fid of free radicals which are the forerunners of diseases like heart disease, cancer and osteoporosis. The question is where do you find antioxidants? Aloe Vera and others are fruit and vegetables are packed full of them; try to eat five a day plus a dose of Aloe Vera.

Aloe Vera is especially interesting because of its effect: It makes vitamin C, vitamin E and other antioxidants work better. The Aloe Vera makes the antioxidants more effective and this is due to its effect on enhancing blood quality and allowing the blood to a better transport mode of oxygen and nutrients to the body's cells. In fact it is a widely held belief that Aloe Vera makes everything nutritious work better due to its blood-enhancing effects . If I'm right about that, it means aloe can influence anti-cancer herbs, too, helping them more effectively target tumours.

Aloe Vera actually contains advanced biochemical technology that the drug companies can only hope to understand someday. This technology was built by nature, and it's 100% compatible with the human body. All you have to do to experience this technology for yourself is drink Aloe Vera gel! ( see www.aloeveraexpress.com )

Nuts is the food to snack on because a great nutritional discovery of the 1990s was that nuts greatly reduce the risk of heart disease.

Drinking water is so important for good health. What you may you do may not know perhaps is, why you need water in order to be a healthy. Your body is estimated to be about 60 to 70 percent water. Blood is mostly water, and your muscles, lungs, and brain all contain a lot of water. Your body needs water to regulate body temperature and to provide the means for nutrients to travel to all your organs. Water also transports oxygen to your cells, removes waste, and protects your joints and organs.

When you eat carbohydrates, make sure they come from whole grain sources. This will make sure that your body gets enough of the fibre it needs to maintain your bowel function and eliminate the toxins. Having at least 3 servings a day and eating your breakfast cereal that should includes whole grains, and also using whole wheat bread will go a long way to keeping you healthy.

Other foods that have anti-inflammatory properties and that should be included in your diet are: Yoghurt, salmon, trout, garlic, barley, onions, beans, nuts and hot peppers among others.

Follow-Through Is Key To Natural Weight Loss Success

By: Dr. George Best

There are many good, healthy, weight loss plans available that provide good, sensible diets with effective exercise programs, and perhaps safe natural weight loss aids. Each of these programs have their dramatic success stories. But if there is no real shortage of effective weight loss programs, why do so many people have such trouble losing weight? What is the difference between the people who choose a program and lose 20, 50, even 100 pounds or more and those who do the exact same program and never lose an ounce?

The key difference is follow-through. No matter how good a weight loss program is, it won\'t work for someone if they don\'t stick to it consistently long-term. Most people start a weight loss program with good intentions and they may even be highly motivated at first, but the majority get off track quickly - usually within a week or two - and never really get any momentum on their natural weight loss plan.

The question is, what causes someone who has finally made the commitment to lose weight to lose his or her motivation so quickly as to never make any real progress?

Actually, a lot of things can happen. Temptations arise. Other people can interfere. They run out of time and/or energy to eat right and exercise. Or, maybe they simply lose sight of the reasons they decided to try to lose weight in the first place.

One key to staying focused is to frequently think about your weight loss goals and what losing weight will mean to you. Most people don\'t just decide they want to lose weight. There\'s usually a reason they want to lose weight. Maybe it\'s because they\'re worried about their health. Maybe it\'s because they can\'t find clothes they like that fit them. Maybe it\'s because they want to find a romantic partner and think that it will be easier if they look better. Maybe they\'re tired of people calling them fat and making jokes about their weight. There are probably as many reasons for wanting to lose weight as there are people who want to lose weight. If you get clear on your reasons, you\'ll have much greater success with any natural weight loss plan.

You\'ll need to frequently focus your thoughts on your main reason(s) to lose weight in order to maintain a high level of motivation. I suggest writing your motivating factors down in such a way that it will enhance your motivation every time you read it. Since the mind typically works to avoid negative things and to seek out positive things, I suggest writing down your list of motivators with something negative you wish to avoid and something positive you wish to achieve as a result of losing weight. As an example, if you are tired of hearing fat jokes and people whispering about your weight problem, you could write something along the lines of, \"I am committed and highly motivated to lose weight because I am no longer willing to be the subject of fat jokes and gossip. I am excited to be achieving my weight loss goals and hearing people say how great I look!\"

Place your written motivating statement(s) somewhere that you will see it more than once each day. When you do see it, take the time to read it and really get into the experience of what those words mean. Don\'t just read passively to get through it, actually think about the words and FEEL what you have written down.

Due to all of the possible influences that can interrupt your weight loss
efforts, it is very important to stay focused on the underlying reasons you want to lose weight. By frequently reminding yourself of your real reasons to lose weight, it will be much easier to stay motivated and ultimately to follow-through on your natural weight loss plan and become a success story!

Best Weight Loss Diet Ever

By: Steven Magill

So, you have decided that you are going to try to lose some weight. Who isn't trying to lose weight

these days? Everyone is looking for the perfect weight loss diet. Everywhere you look there are books about dieting, television shows about dieting, exercise programs promising to "burn the fat", and more websites than you can count...they are all promising to help you lose weight.

A healthy weight loss

rate is a few pounds dropping off each week, and to do this, you need to eat a healthy and balanced diet (trade the McDonald's for a home cooked meal is a good way to start) and you need to exercise regularly. To lose one pound, you need to burn thirty five hundred calories. Weight loss is basic math: if you burn more calories than you take in, you will lose weight.

Before jumping head first into the latest weight loss diet fad, are you sure that you even need to lose weight

? What is the reason for this decision to diet? Just because you weigh more than you might want to, and just because you might be bigger around than the latest stick thin supermodel, does not necessarily mean that you need to lose weight. Make sure to schedule an appointment with your doctor and maybe a nutritionist as well. These two health professionals will be able to help you figure out an ideal (and healthy!) target weight and put you on a weight loss diet plan to help you get there.

Once you have figured out your target weight, the next step is to decide on a regular exercise regime. You don't need to join a fancy gym or work out for hours a day. You simply need to exercise enough to burn some fat and build some muscle. It is amazing how many calories a simple walk around the block can burn.

In the event that you feel like you might need some help with your weight loss diet, there are a number of diet programs out there that have large success rates. Jenny Craig and Weight Watchers are the best. Not only do these programs give you the support you need to hit your target weight, they will teach you how to look at food and portion control. You will learn how to eat to get healthy instead of eating to get full. The points system used by Weight Watchers has been especially effective.

What is important is that you are healthy. Being thin should be an afterthought. Of course, if it happens in the course of improving your health then you should be extra happy!
