Glaucoma can be cured naturally?

Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of blindness. Glaucoma is due to the increased pressure of the eye. In conventional medicine, most eye doctors recommend surgery and eye drops to relieve the high ocular pressure in the eye.


However, there is a problem: the eye drops and surgical interventions would create a chronic condition, quite ironically lead to the ultimate blindness.


Dr. Leslie Salov, M.D., Ph.d. O.D., in his book "Secrets for better Vision", says that most of the patients with glaucoma are highly intelligent professionals who lead a very stressful and busy life. This finding has led Dr. Salov to believe that to improve the health of the vision or eyes, you need to improve the health of your whole person simultaneously because your body is a set of interlaced systems that affect one another. Given that the whole is greater that the sum of its parts, your eyes are only a small part of your whole person. Accordingly, to heal the eyes, you heal the body first. This is all just that simple!


To have a good vision, even as you age, you must employ not only science of Physiology, biology and chemistry, but also the powers of healing philosophy and spirituality even. This is no exception when it comes to treat glaucoma. In other words, to treat glaucoma, you must consider not only your eyes, but all aspects of your life.


Recommended by Dr. Salov glaucoma treatment methods include the following:


Visualization is the meditative exercise use by your mind to control your body to heal itself. More specifically, visualization relaxes the muscles in the walls of your canal of Schlemm (circular channel in the eye that collects aqueous substance between the lens and the cornea). By releasing these muscles, additional fluid may be excreted to relieve pressure from glaucoma. The use of drops ophthalmic serves a similar function, but the only difference is that chronic use of eye drops may have negative effects in the long term. These effects include pieces of iris falling, causing blocking and thus contributed to increase the pressure of the eye in the long term. Without the help of the eyes with chemical drops, visualization can relax the eye muscles so that your students become small enough to open the canal of Schlemm to excrete fluid for relief of ocular pressure.


So, what exactly is visualization?


Visualization is the use of imaging guided to direct blood and leukocytes (immune cells) oxygen to the eye with a mental image of a healthy eye. Essentially, your conscious mind control involuntary processes occur automatically within your body. However, it must be pointed out that visualization works only when you use it with dedication and consistency. In other words, you must practice visualization with due diligence.


Another treatment recommended by Dr. Salov is meditation, which removes your daily stress and worry. When you are under stress, and stress, you body produces chemical changes in your body, which reduced level of oxygen and blood flow. Practise meditation, which is the art of thinking of nothing.


Deep, slow breathing with your diaphragm, helped by good posture, are deep cleansing for the body and spirit. Deep breathing promotes better health of the vision through relaxation and detoxification.


According to Dr. Salov, your diet can also help to heal your glaucoma. Food non-viande is strongly recommended because the antibiotics, chemical dyes and growth hormones in meat of supermarket damage your immune system, but also the health of your eyes. Without strong immunity, your eyes may not use their natural healing elements.


In conclusion, your body has its own healing forces, but the problem is how to harness these forces. For a better vision health, you must be ready to change your environment, lifestyle and habits of life. Vision health cannot be achieved without total health. There is a Chinese proverb: "the eye is the window of the soul." Your vision health reflects your physical health. If you believe that Glaucoma can be cured naturally, and then look beyond your eyes.

Naturally healing with essential oils

More more people are concerned about safety and side effects of prescription drugs and medicines. And break-up of health going - on the Congress of United States, and the high cost of health care generally, people are looking for alternative forms of healing. A type of alternative medicine which is gaining in popularity is aromatherapy. Aromatherapy is simply the healing of diseases naturally using the own body, natural capabilities triggered by the smell of certain chemical compounds contained in the essential oils of healing plant.


Essential oils are the essence of a plant, distilled and concentrated. Gasoline can be extracted from the authorization, flowers or even the whole and processed plant in oil.

Surviving radiation

One of my favorite herbalists wrote this in 2002 and shared it again this week. Her name is Susan Weed and here is what she has to say:
We are adapted to survive mild exposures to radiation. After all, the sun is a kind of controlled nuclear bomb and it releases a lot of radiation. Of course, this radiation, and man-made radiation, can also cause cancer and a host of short- and long-term health problems.
Whether you are worried about the radiation from dental x-rays, a mammogram, or fallout, here are some Wise Woman Ways to help you stay healthy. (If you are using radioactive therapies in your cancer treatment, there is a chapter full of information specifically for you in Breast Cancer~ Breast Health! The Wise Woman Way.)
~ Japanese researchers found that diets high in carotenes significantly reduced DNA damage in humans exposed to radiation. Supplements of beta-carotene (or of vitamins C or E) did not show this effect. Eating lots of orange and dark green foods (sweet potatoes, winter squash, beets, carrots, kale, collards, chard, and spinach, for example) can protect you from radiation-induced cancers.
~ Envision yourself and all your cells protected from damage. (One woman wrapped herself in psychic lead.)
~ Guinea pigs bombarded with radiation lived a lot longer if they ate broccoli or cabbage. All cabbage family plants - including arugula, turnips, radishes, cauliflower, mustard greens, bok choy, Brussels sprouts, broccoli d'rappe, kale, collards, and of course broccoli - protect your cells from the damaging effects of radiation.
~ Choose an image, an icon, something meaningful to you, as a focusing agent. Put your affirmations, blessings, prayers, visualizations, and healing love into it, for easy access when you need help.
~ Miso broth is the classic food for prevention of radiation damage. There’s twice the protection if a quarter-ounce/5 grams of dried kelp seaweed is added to the soup. In scientific studies, seaweed was able to neutralize radioactive isotopes in the human body. Researchers at McGill University say radioactive strontium binds to the algin in brown seaweeds to create sodium alginate, a compound easily and harmlessly excreted. Common black tea exhibited the same anti-radiation effects in several Japanese studies.
~ In Fighting Radiation and Chemical Pollutants with Foods, Herbs, and Vitamins (Vitality, 1991), Steven Schecter tells us that both black and green tea showed "radioprotective effects" whether taken before or after exposure to radiation. Among other modes of operation, tea catechins absorb radioactive isotopes and remove them from the body before they do damage. The action is similar he says, to that of sodium alginate (the "active ingredient" in kelp seaweed).
~ Eating any amount of reishii (a mushroom) reduces damage from radiation.
~ St. Joan’s/John's wort oil protects my skin from radiation damage. I use it as my only sunscreen (and I am outside a lot) and find it not only immediately effective in preventing and treating sunburn, but even more protective with continuing use over years.
~ Burdock root (Arctium lappa) removes radioactive isotopes from the body. A dose is 1-4 ounces/300-120 grams of cooked fresh root, up to a pint of infusion daily, or several large spoonfuls of vinegar (but only if made with fresh roots).
~ Dried beans, especially lentils can reverse DNA damage done by radiation. So can red clover (Trifolium pratense) and astragalus (Astragalus membranaceous) - two powerful members of the legume (bean) family.
~ Homeopathic remedies can be taken before and after exposure to radiation: Plumbum (lead) is said to help those who feel overwhelmed and in need of protection. Belladonna is used to prevent and relieve radiation burns and pains - even long after the immediate exposure.
Recipe for "Anti-Radiation Easy Meal" is on page 308 in Breast Cancer~ Breast Health! the Wise Woman Way.
~ Selenium protects DNA from radiation damage and helps prevent damage to the skin surface, too. Get plenty of selenium by eating a daily dose of 2 cups/500 ml of nettle infusion, one-half ounce/15 g kelp, 2 ounces/60 g cooked burdock root, or 1 cup/250 ml organic yogurt daily. Shellfish, green and black teas, and garlic contain significant amounts of selenium, as do many mushrooms. The best sources however are nettles (2200 mcg per 100 grams), kelp (1700 mcg/100 g), burdock (1400 mcg/100 g), catnip (Nepeta cataria), ginseng, Siberian ginseng, and astragalus.
~ In clinical trial with humans, those who took ginseng extract (Panax quinquefolium) for thirty days following exposure to radiation showed hastened recovery from injuries to their bone marrow, organs, skin, and blood cells according to Paul Bergner in The Healing Power of Ginseng, The Enlightened Person's Guide, Prima, 1996. He quotes Japanese researcher Dr M. Yonezawa as saying that "ginseng appears to be the most useful agent available for protection against radiation damage."
~ It’s important to keep yourself well nourished if you are exposed to radiation. Make it a habit to drink at least two big cups of nourishing herbal infusion daily. Nettles, red clover, and violet leaves supply generous amounts of the nutrients you need most: protein and minerals, especially potassium and zinc.

For best results, do not use capsules of the herbs mentioned in this article. Instead, cook with them (kelp, astragalus, Siberian ginseng, ginseng, reishii, and burdock), brew nourishing herbal infusions with them (nettles, red clover, astragalus, burdock, catnip, and ginseng), make mineral-rich vinegars with them (nettles, burdock, catnip, ginseng, and astragalus), or take a high-quality non-standardized tincture of them (burdock, ginseng, Siberian ginseng, astragalus).

The immune system can have an Impact on asthma and Allergies?

Every human being has a natural immune system. It is composed of, among others, tears, mucus, cough, stomach acid, skin, white blood cells. These ingredients are continually at work, to counteract the harmful substances as antigens - harmful chemicals, bacteria, viruses - create diseases and conditions.


Medical profession recognizes that many diseases such as psoriasis, asthma, allergies, arthritis have their root cause in an immune system weakened or low impaired.


The immune system can be improved through a series of measures such as regular dose of mineral supplements,  vitamin c in appropriate quantity and a food plan that is heavy on vegetables, fruits and other foods rich in protein. A regular intake of foods rich in fatty acids Omega-3 and pulses and a strict no. - no alcohol, saturated fats will help much. It should be supported by:


* Exercise
* relaxation
* rest
Positive mind


Do you have a weak immune system? Then you need to protect you from the radiation and too much sunlight. You should also avoid a diet that is high on cholesterol. No, not only that you should also avoid pollutants industrial, pesticides, herbicides, stress, prescription drugs, grease, alcohol, fried foods, food additives.


You should also remember that there is no magic formula to improve the immune system. Time taken to achieve this, it will be different for each individual. Someone who has been exposed to the immuno-suppressant in a masterly manner, will take more time to build his immune system at appropriate levels. Allergy and asthma drugs are known to have toxic side effects that cause lower the immune system. Thus, to avoid them if you suffer from their share.


Much medical research has been done on a natural cure for allergies and asthma. Many natural supplements is available to help you eliminate these diseases.
