Menstrual Flow – Heavy
MENSTRUAL FLOW-HEAVY: If you are producing an excess of estrogen (or getting it in your diet), you may have heavy, cramping menstrual periods. It is excess estrogen that causes this problem and it is serious enough to pay attention now. Besides the monthly cycle of pain from cramping, this can lead to endometriosis with lot [...]
Mononucleosis
MONONUCLEOSIS: This is a viral infection that may include fever, sore throat, swollen lymph nodes, and fatigue. For many people, the extreme fatigue continues for four to 6 weeks and even more. Of course, you will be having regular medical care but here are some things you can also do; I know this will seem [...]
Liver
LIVER: You only have one liver and it’s responsible for filtering your blood and cleaning it of toxins. Of course, it does other important things but its role as a major filter is vital to your health. What happens when it gets overloaded and can’t effectively clean your blood anymore? I believe this is when [...]
Lymph Cleanser
LYMPH CLEANSER: Your lymph nodes cleanse toxins from your blood. If you are ill or have a build up of toxins in your body, you may notice swelling in your lymph nodes. They are all over your body but most people notice the ones under the jaw line, around the knees or in the arm [...]

Low dietary iodine is such a problem that salt was “iodized” years ago to [...]

Sprain
SPRAIN: A sprain injures soft tissue and this type injury needs your tender loving care; it seems like soft tissue takes longer to heal than a broken bone. I’m not as concerned about swelling as most medical books advise. It seems that swelling in this case is your body’s way of providing a “bandage” for [...]
Ulcers
ULCERS: An ulcer is an open sore that can appear anywhere on your body. It’s a sore that doesn’t heal. Ulcers in the mouth (canker sores) may be from a fungal overgrowth. If this is the case, we’ve found that opening a capsule of a probiotic and applying it directly to the sores in the [...]
Menopause
MENOPAUSE: The Japanese don’t have a word for menopause in their language—because it doesn’t exist as a problem. Current research points to the high use of soy products (soy is estrogenic) as the reason Japanese women don’t go through the ravages American women may experience during menopause. I agree that diet plays a role in [...]
