Some of the tools of my trade

After much research into herbal wormers and wormer compounds for goats, dogs, cats, horses and other animals, I have found that most of the herbal wormer and dewormer products available on the market today indicate that they should be used weekly, and are safe for pregnant and lactating animals. These formulas all contain Wormwood, which is not considered safe, by Herbalists, for use while pregnant and not recommended for use while breast feeding. (Please read these extended safety notes regarding Wormwood.) Since herbs are not drugs, herbal wormers and worm formulas do not legally have to carry milk withdrawal information or pregnancy warnings. Since some other herbal wormers and worm formulas say they are safe, they are either: taking advantage of this loop hole; they are either mistaken as to the safety of Wormwood (perhaps mistakenly thinking that all herbs are safe in all situations); or these formulas contain so little Wormwood that they will not be effective for the use they are intended. Wormwood is a herb, and not a drug, and it has not been officially studied by the FDA to discover if there is should be a milk withdrawal time or whether it is safe for pregnant animals. Because of this, you can legally say there is no official safely issue, but research into the use of herbs will show you it should not be use on pregnant humans, or animals.

Wormwood is a safe dewormer when used properly, but the continuous, long term use of small doses of wormwood, (every week- exactly how other wormers and worm compounds prescribe it) can be harmful to an animal’s kidneys, liver and nervous system. Wormwood can be used safely on animals in larger doses, on an occasional basis (every 6-8 weeks). Because of this I originated a new concept in herbal worming methods, and I created a new system using two herbal worm formulas that work in conjunction with each other: the Formula #1 Herbal Wormwood Combination and the Formula #2 Herbal Weekly Worm Formula & Tonic.

Most herbal wormers, dewormers and worm products also contain laxative herbs; my formulas do not. The idea behind using laxatives is to flush out parasites by loosening stool and stimulating bowel movement. However, this approach adds stress to the animal’s system and may lead to laxative dependency. If constipation is associated with a worm infestation (which very rarely happens) you could administer Slippery Elm, which aids in lubricating the digestive tract without pulling needed fluids from the body.

Please note that this type of worm formula is used in a Holistic manner. Holistic therapies address the health of the entire animal (or human) by slowly and surely balancing the systems of the body, strengthening the immune system, and preventing disease. Because of this, you need to understand that herbal wormers are also used as a preventative, as opposed to just waiting until you have a major problem or infestation. This system is intended to be used all year round; do not quit using it in the winter. Please read this: Understanding using herbs.

Biotin

Biotin,

As a coenzyme is the synthesis of fat, glycogen, and amino acids, biotin is an essential nutrient because bacterial synthesis in the large intestine is insufficient to meet a person’s needs. Dietary (food consumption) biotin is absorbed in the jejunum and small amounts are stored in the muscle, liver, and brain.

  • Jejunum is the middle segment of the SMALL INTESTINE, between the ILEUM and the DUODENUM. The jejunum is six to eight feet long and handles absorption of carbohydrates and proteins, as well as vitamins such as VITAMIN K and minerals such as iron. The jejunum’s tissue composition and excellent blood supply allow it to be the source of tissue grafts for reconstruction of the pharynx and upper ESOPHAGUS after radical surgery to treat laryngeal CANCER (cancer of the THROAT). Health conditions that can involve the jejunum include INFLAMMATORY BOWEL DISEASE (IBD), CELIAC DISEASE, and MALABSORPTION disorders.

Natural Remedies

 

Natural Herbs for Diabetes

Gymnema Sylvestre

  • Main use: Lowering blood sugar Typical dosage: 200 to 250 milligrams twice daily.

This plant’s Hindi name translates as “sugar destroyer,” and the plant is said to reduce the ability to detect sweetness. It’s regarded as one of the most powerful herbs for blood-sugar control. It may work by boosting the activity of enzymes that help cells use glucose or by stimulating the production of insulin. Though it hasn’t been studied ­extensively, it’s not known to cause serious side effects.

Bitter Melon

  • Main use: Lowering blood sugar Typical dosage: 50 to 100 milliliters (approximately 3 to 6 tablespoons) of the juice daily.

The aptly named bitter melon is thought to help cells use glucose more effectively and block sugar absorption in the intestine. When Philippine researchers had men and women take bitter melon in capsule form for three months, they had slight, but consistently, lower blood sugar than those taking a placebo. Gastrointestinal problems are possible side effects.

Magnesium

  • Main use: Lowering blood sugar Typical dosage: 250 to 350 milligrams once a day.

Magnesium deficiency is not uncommon in people with diabetes, and it can worsen high blood sugar and insulin resistance. Some studies suggest that supplementing with magnesium may improve insulin function and lower blood sugar levels, but other studies have shown no benefit. Have your doctor check you for deficiency before supplementing with magnesium.

Prickly Pear Cactus

  • Main use: Lowering blood sugar Typical dosage: If you eat it as a food, aim for 1⁄2 cup of cooked cactus fruit a day. Otherwise, follow label directions.

The ripe fruit of this cactus has been shown in some small studies to lower blood sugar ­levels. You may be able to find the fruit in your grocery store, but if not, look for it as a juice or powder at health food stores. Researchers speculate that the fruit may possibly lower blood sugar because it contains components that work similarly to insulin. The fruit is also high in fiber.

Gamma-Linolenic Acid

  • Main use: Easing nerve pain Typical dosage: 270 to 540 milligrams once a day.

Gamma-Linolenic acid, or GLA, is a fatty acid found in evening primrose oil. Some research suggests that people with diabetes have lower than optimal levels of GLA, and studies have found that the supplement can reduce and ­prevent nerve pain associated with diabetes.

Chromium

  • Main use: Lowering blood sugar Typical dosage: 200 micrograms once daily.

This trace mineral is thought to enhance the action of insulin as well as being involved in carbohydrate, fat, and protein metabolism. Some research shows that it helps normalize blood sugar — but only in people who are deficient in chromium.

Billberry

Main use:

  • Protecting the eyes and nerves Typical dosage: 80 to 120 milligrams two times per day of standardized bilberry extract.

This relative of the blueberry contains powerful antioxidants in its fruit and leaves. These anti­oxidants, called anthocyanidins, seem to help prevent damage to tiny blood vessels that can result in nerve pain and retinopathy (damage to the eye’s retina). Animal studies have also suggested that bilberry may lower blood sugar.

Alpha-Lipoic Acid

Main uses:

  • Easing nerve pain, lowering blood sugar Typical dosage: 600 to 800 milligrams a day.

Called ALA for short, this vitamin-like substance neutralizes many types of free radicals. A build-up of free radicals, caused in part by high blood sugar, can lead to nerve damage and other problems. ALA may also help muscle cells take up blood sugar. In a German study, a team of scientists had 40 adults take either an ALA supplement or a placebo. At the end of the four-week study, the ALA group had improved their insulin sensitivity 27 percent. The placebo group showed no improvement. Other studies have shown a decrease in nerve pain, numbness, and burning.

 

Fenugreek

Main use:

  • Lowering blood sugar Typical dosage: 5 to 30 grams with each meal or 15 to 90 grams with one meal per day.

These seeds, used in Indian cooking, have been found to lower blood sugar, increase insulin sensitivity, and reduce high cholesterol, according to several animal and human studies. The effect may be partly due to the seeds’ high fiber content. The seeds also contain an amino acid that appears to boost the release of insulin. In one of the largest studies on fenugreek, 60 people who took 25 grams daily showed significant improvements in blood sugar control and post-meal spikes.

Ginseng

Main use:

  • Lowering blood sugar Typical dosage: 1 to 3 grams a day in capsule or tablet form, or 3 to 5 milliliters of tincture three times a day.

Known for its immune-boosting and disease-fighting benefits, this Chinese herb has several positive diabetes studies behind it. Re­searchers have found that ginseng slows carbohydrate absorption; increases cells’ ability to use glucose; and increases insulin secretion from the pancreas. A team from the University of Toronto has repeatedly demonstrated that ginseng capsules lower blood glucose 15 to 20 percent compared to placebo pills.

Gout ,Try This

Gout, Try This

  • Eat in a combination dish of apples, grapes, and cantaloupe twice a day until symptoms are gone. Then, drop down to once a day to maintain the symptoms.
  • Cherries will help with gout symptoms. Eat ¼ cup of cherries a day until symptoms are gone. Then, try eating the same amount 3 times a week to maintain your symptoms.

 

Hopefully this will allow you to have a pain free and move free body.

 

What is gout?

Gout - A painful inflammation of the big toe and foot caused by defects in uric acid metabolism. It is the effect of acid deposit buildup in the blood and joints, also common in acute inflammatory arthritis.

www.symptomfind.com/search.php?q=medical+gout

What to Avoid

Because uric acid is produced as the body is breaking down purines in the body, it’s important to avoid foods which contain excess amounts of this compound. Some of these foods include seafood, meat and alcohol. Avoiding foods that are particularly high in purines is a great way to help treat the condition because it keeps uric acid at a normal level. It’s especially important to avoid the following foods which are high in purines:

  • Seafood: Almost all types of seafood contain high levels of purine, so it’s best to avoid these foods whenever possible. Most doctors recommend that you limit your daily intake of seafood to four to six ounces. During a flare-up of gout, it’s wise to avoid seafood altogether until the symptoms subside. Some good choices when you do want seafood are small portions of scallops, salmon, shrimp, crab, eel or lobster. However, it’s best to avoid herring, anchovies and tuna entirely because they have so much purine; even small portions of these types of seafood can lead to gout attacks.
  • Meat: Choosing meats to eat is very tricky when you’re on a restricted gout diet. In general, white meat is a better choice than red meat. However, there are some exceptions. Beef and pork are slightly less dangerous than turkey, goose or lamb, for example, while chicken and duck tend to be the safest choices meat-wise. However, be sure to limit your meat intake to less than six ounces per day, and cut back even further if you are experiencing problems with your gout.
  • Alcohol: Beer is especially bad for those with gout since it increases uric acid levels significantly. Like with seafood, very small portions of alcohol can be tolerated, but it’s wise to keep a close eye on whether drinking aggravates the symptoms of the condition. In general, a small portion of wine is preferable to a bottle of beer. If a flare-up occurs, avoid alcohol until it subsides.
  • Sugary drinks: Basically any drink with high fructose corn syrup, like sodas and fruit drinks, can potentially make gout worse. That’s because the sweeteners cause the body to up its production of uric acid. It’s best to stick to unsweetened drinks and water to be safe.
  • Certain veggies: Not all vegetables are bad for someone with gout, but a few should be eaten very sparingly. Those veggies are asparagus, spinach, mushrooms and cauliflower, all of which have especially high purine levels. Though not as dangerous as seafood or meats, it’s still important to monitor your intake of these vegetables if you have gout.

 

What to Eat

There are some foods with lower purine levels that are great for people with gout. Additionally, some practices may help get rid of any extra purines in the body. It’s important to keep in mind that some of the recommended foods for this condition are simply healthy foods that are meant to prevent obesity – a common cause of gout. The following foods are optimal choices for individuals suffering from gout:

  • Legumes: Because major protein sources like meat and seafood are largely off limits on a gout diet, legumes offer a great way to get that needed protein without the harmful side effects. Chickpeas, split peas, green peas, black beans and lentils are all healthy options when looking for legumes to add to your diet.
  • Oats: An easy, inexpensive food that can help with gout is oats. These whole grains are great for providing relief from gout symptoms. Some options for adding oats to your diet are oatmeal, oatmeal cookies or bran muffins.
  • Vegetables: Interestingly, it’s the starchy veggies like potatoes, butternut squash and sweet potatoes that are the best vegetable options for those with gout. Baking, boiling, mashing or grilling are all healthy options for preparing these delicious veggies as part of a meal.
  • Low-Fat Dairy: Reduce your risk of gout or prevent symptoms from reoccurring by choosing low-fat or fat-free dairy products. Skim milk and low-fat yogurt are two excellent options in this category.
  • Fruits: Fruits are rich in antioxidants, which may help reduce the appearance of symptoms related to gout. Although citrus fruits, berries and apples all contain a significant amount of antioxidants, cherries seem to be the top option when it comes to fruits that help with gout.

If you suffer from gout, be sure to consult with your doctor about the best nutritional choices for you. Though these are general guidelines for a gout diet, it’s best to take a personalized approach for your own experiences and symptoms.

Silica is Good For You

Silica is good for you.

Silica is used to keep bones, cartilage, tendons, blood vessels and artery walls healthy. It is also required by the nails, hair and skin to stay in good condition and is useful in counteracting the effects of excessive aluminum in the body, which is implicated in the development of Alzheimer’s disease.

Silica is also involved in the formation of healthy bone tissue and collagen, the framework which makes the body “stick” together, without which, the body would fall apart.

Some time ago John was working out at a local gym and some of the exercises John was doing irritated my elbow. John had an on the job accident prior to this event where a bone in my elbow was broke. There was some arm weight lifting exercises that really cause me to think about discontinue my membership. After working out one evening there was a Wal-Mart close by so John went down the water isle and saw a product called Fiji Water. The label on the back was very impressive, so John continue reading and it said that silica would help  bones…. to heal so John was sold on Fiji water. John drink one  12 oz bottle a day for 3 weeks after then my arm until this day does not bother me.

Your experience may be different and you may need to drink it longer, but  keep drinking it until you fell better then you can stop. Don’t give up it really works.

Cherries and Arthritis

Cherries and ArthritisJohn was walking around one day and realized that it was getting very difficult to press down on my right foot. This went on for weeks getting worse by the day until John decided to research my problem and find a natural remedy to allow me to walk freely again.

Thru my discovery John found out that cherries in any form would help my arthritis. My taste was for Cran-cherry juice so every day for one week John would pour a half glass to drink. Then, John would drink the same amount two to three times a week.

When calcium builds up in the body and collects in your joints intern causing pain is not a good sign. This process is when your immune system* is not working properly and your body is attacking itself.

*This is not referring to a immune disease it is when your body does not use calcium properly so it stays in your body and collects somewhere as in your joints (arthritis) , kidneys (kidney stones)try lemon juice, lungs (pulmonary fibrosis) etc

When cherries are consumed the body allows the cherries to break down the calcium deposits before it has time to start building up in the body. Cherries also break down the calcium crystals that are stored in the body and this is when there is pain existing or starting to cause problems. The cherry comes to the rescue in hoping for a pain free and move free body.
