A new study shows that pregnant women who use flea and tick shampoo on pets may double the risk of autism in their children. The study followed 2,000 children, some with autism, some with developmental delay and some with typical development and compared individual genetic patterns with exposure to medications, chemicals, food products and other environmental factors. The authors (who stress the findings are preliminary) believe that insecticide chemicals called pyrethrins may play a role in triggering autism in certain kids. Pyrethrins are widely used in insect foggers and are also found in some lice-control shampoos for humans.
This article on this disagrees with the number of kids in the study. These findings are from the Childhood Autism Risks from Genetics and the Environment study, which is funded by the US National Institutes of Health. They had a story on TV about an actress that had as emotional breakdown for giving her son Down Syndrome by giving him vaccines. I asked on a forum why vaccines have mercury in them. A nurse said that you can get a flu vaccine without mercury in it. Now that is like going to a restaurant and on the menu it says "salad." Then under that it says "salad without any roaches." So why do they have the salad with roaches in it. More coming soon!
There appears to be an epidemic of Lyme Disease in the rural, wooded areas of the Northeast United States and other areas. See this site for a map of the highest incidence of it in the U.S.A. The President of the USA (George W Bush ) has Lyme Disease. Since Lyme Disease is a bacterial infection, see bacterial infections and antibiotic on Natural Cures Part 1, for the best foods to eat to help it. Lyme disease is caused by a spiral shaped bacteria (spirochete) called Borrelia burgdorferi. These bacteria are most often transmitted by tics and mosquitoes. It can also be transmitted from fleas and mites.
It appears that people can get re-infected with it. One lady and her kid did not get rid of all the symptoms until she moved. The problems started when she moved into this wooded area. Lyme disease can mimic more than 350 different medical conditions. This list contains about every disease or degenerative condition that we have ever heard of. There may be 20 million people in the USA who are infected with Lyme disease-- most of them, without knowing it. They may attribute their symptoms to another disease that it has imitated.
The classic symptoms of Lyme disease are mild to severe joint and muscle pain, and flu-like symptoms that include fatigue, backache, stiff neck, and headaches. In the most severe cases, chronic arthritis is common and there are complications in the heart and nervous system. Patients with chronic Lyme disease commonly have fatigue, joint and muscle pain, sleep disorders and cognitive problems. In addition, it can create a low grade infection of the brain that can cause depression, bipolar disorder, tingling, panic attacks, numbness, burning or twitching.
Patients suffering with a chronic illness (especially those with Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue and Immune Dysfunction Syndrome and Unrelenting Fatigue) would be wise to consider Lyme disease as a contributor. Lyme disease can also mimic MS perfectly. Patients with chronic Lyme disease often complain of weird symptoms that cannot be explained, even after going to numerous doctors and often results in the patient being told that it is psychological.
A recent study in the USA, in which 28 people suffering from severe LD, were treated for 6 months. 14 of the patients received the standard doses of antibiotics. The other 14, took cats claw, an herb from the Brazilian rainforest with a legendary reputation. The result? Three of the fourteen who took antibiotics showed slight improvement. But ALL of the 14 who took cats claw showed dramatic improvement. Twelve of the 14 were tested at the end of six months and NO trace of LD remained!
I have been a distributor for 9 years for a company that has been selling cats claw in the USA years before anyone else was selling it. They have an herbal formula (with cats claw in it) called Arcozon designed to strengthen the immune system. This works better than the cats claw by itself. A friend of mine used it to get rid of his Lyme disease and I have a newspaper with a story about this. See Amazon Herbs.
Cats claw has wonderful side effects. It is the best herb for helping colon problems. With some people with white hair, it causes their hair to change back to its original color. Also it is very good for the cardiovascular system. The company mentioned above has cats claw in apple cider vinegar and honey. This tastes good and these 2 things also help the immune system.
The foods with the highest concentration of anticancer (prostate) chemicals are watermelon with 1,800 ppm of 1 chemical, carrots with 280 ppm of 2 chemicals and tomatoes with 40 ppm of 1 chemical. The following foods have lower concentrations than the above. Tea with 1 chemical, papaya with 1 chemical and grapefruit with 1 chemical.
According to the 500 page college textbook, Human Biology by Sylvia S Mader (1995) prostate cancer is very different than the other types of cancer. It says about prostate cancer "The disease is most common in northwestern Europe and North America. It is rare in the Near East, Africa, Central America, and South America. For reasons not currently known, African Americans have the highest incidence rate in the world."
Are you wondering why this is since it may affect you. It is because black skinned people need 4 times the sunlight as white skinned people to get the same amount of vitamin D. The prostate gland thrives on vitamin D from sunlight. The sunlight is much weaker in the U.S.A. than in Africa which is closer to the equator. So the places where the sunlight is strongest is where the prostate cancer is rare.
In a magazine they wanted to see if there were certain things affecting prostate problems like pollution in certain parts of the country. So they gave different colors to different percentages of people with these problems and then applied those colors to a map of the U.S. They found the color with the highest amount of problems went across the most northern part of the U.S.
Then as they went further south the percentage of people with prostate problems became lower and lower. So they determined that this was due to the unique vitamin D from the sun. If you sunbathe, you sweat out toxins like cancer causing chemicals. The water evaporates but the toxins build up on your skin. So make sure to bathe after sunbathing to wash those chemicals off your skin. Make sure to see Natural Cures (1st page) under Cancer in general (the 1st disease listed). It has a link to Amazon Herbs The Gravizon product on it has been very effective against prostate cancer.

A friend wanted me to look up a
natural cure for Hepatitis C. This one website told about someone who cured it
using milk thistle, dandelion root, licorice root, reishi mushroom, cats claw
and olive root. I know herbs. These herbs help the liver. But I also know that
they are not anywhere near as good as Envirozon which is an herbal formula with
herbs from the Amazon rainforest. One herb in it is stone breaker (chanca
piedra). It is called this because it dissolves gallstones. Another herb in it
is jurubeba. This is used as a remedy for hangovers in Brazil. It also contains
cats claw. See this site for more information on it: Amazon
Herbs.

Headaches can be caused by many things. Kevin Trudeau says in Natural Cures "I was on a radio show today and a woman called up and said 'I have headaches all the time and when I got your book I wanted to know what the pill or herb is that I can take to cure my headaches.' I said 'Well, let's go through a few things first. Do you eat microwaved food?' 'Well, yes, but that has nothing to do with it, Kevin.' 'Do you eat in fast-food restaurants?' 'Well, yes, but that has nothing to do with it, Kevin.' 'Do you drink diet sodas?' 'Well, yes, but that has nothing to do with it, Kevin. I want to know what I can buy and take that will get rid of my headaches.'
I
tried to explain to her that she needs to ask, what is causing her headaches. It
could be toxins, it could be nutritional deficiencies, it could be emotional
stress, it could be that her body is out of alignment and she simply needs a chiropractic
adjustment."

I was reading
how someone with this was helped greatly with fasting for 25 days. Also
another doctor would successfully treat it by getting people to sunbathe
which stops further damage and by having them eat a vegetarian diet with
lots of fruits and vegetables. Kevin
Trudeau says in Natural
Cures "One person's symptoms of MS could be
caused by his laptop computer or eating microwaved food. Another person's
symptoms of MS could be caused by a Candida yeast overgrowth. Another person's
symptoms of MS could be caused by heavy metal toxicity.
Another person's symptoms of MS could be caused Aspartame. Another person's symptoms of MS could be caused by some prescription and nonprescription drug they are taking or have taken over the years. Another person's symptoms of MS could be caused by stress or trauma in that individual's life. Another person's symptoms of MS could simply be a nutritional deficiency....That is why I always say if you are sick or if you want to remain super healthy, it is vitally important to see a licensed healthcare practitioner."
The tobacco companies do not want you to stop smoking. So they have added many chemicals to the tobacco to make it much more addictive. Now, it is almost impossible to stop smoking. It may be the hardest thing that you have ever done, but it is well worth it. The nicotine is a stimulant but the carbon monoxide numbs your brain and that is why smoking relaxes you. You will be much happier without this addiction.
You know how it feels when you need to go to the bathroom really badly but have to hold it? That is how it is when the nicotine level in your body goes down and you cannot smoke right at that moment. You do not need that in your life. Nicotine is a narcotic so smokers are drug addicts. I knew a cocaine addict that went to N.A. (Narcotics Anonymous) meetings. On the day that he stopped smoking, he was drooling like a dog and was incoherent. Unlike smoking, cocaine has no physical addiction.
Once you stop smoking, you need the commitment that you will never start again. Find other ways to deal with stress. The way you stop is by doing it in steps. First you get rid of your addiction to the chemicals which is the hardest part. You do this by switching to the American Spirit brand that is pure tobacco and no additives. It has more of the tobacco and nicotine that you are addicted to but no chemical additives.
But when you switch, it will feel like it is not working since you are not getting what you are used to getting with normal cigarettes. So it will be uncomfortable, but stay with it. Doing this awhile causes you to get over your addiction to the chemical additives. The tobacco is stronger so the misery you feel is the curing of your addiction to the chemical additives. If you do not believe that you are addicted to the chemicals, then it should be easy to switch with no discomfort.
So now you have a healthier habit. Then it will be much easier to stop smoking since you are only dealing with your addiction to the tobacco and nicotine. One way to do this is with a tiny computer, like the one on this health foods page. First you tell it when you smoke and it learns your habit. So first it deals with your habit, not your addiction.
Biting nails is a hard habit to break but you are not addicted to something in your nails. After a week of learning your habit, then it will tell you when to smoke and you follow. You are getting as much nicotine as before but you do not have the comfort of the habit. So you are uncomfortable while it breaks you habit. After it breaks your habit, then it will slowly reduce the amount that you are smoking so it is not noticeable. It does that until you are smoking very little and you can just stop. Make sure to develop new habits to deal with stress like yoga or mediation.
Eighty percent
of psoriasis is plaque psoriasis. One kind can change into another. Psoriasis
is characterized by raised inflamed lesions covered by a silvery, white
scale. Usually found on the elbows, knees, scalp and lower back. One treatment
can work for one person and not another. Eighty percent of the people who
use regular doses of sunlight enjoy improvement of their plaque psoriasis.
Water can help soften psoriasis lesions. Too much sunlight at one time
can make the psoriasis flare. It is best to use short multiple exposures.
It can take several weeks to see improvement.
There is a book on it by a chiropractor called Healing Psoriasis: The Natural Alternative by Dr John Pagano (see bottom of this page and click on it for more information). Here are diet suggestions from it. Do not smoke. Tobacco is very bad for psoriasis. Increase your eating of fruits and vegetables. No red meat which includes no pork. Limit dairy to 1% or non-fat and still limit that. Limit or eliminate foods with added sugars. Cut out gluten products which means no wheat products. Take a teaspoon of flaxseed oil every morning and evening. To get enough trace minerals (not from above book) make sure to take kelp. You can sprinkle granulated kelp on your foods. Kelp is a sea plant (seaweed).
Skin problems develop when the liver gets backed up with toxins. The 4 excretory organs of the body are the lungs, kidneys, liver and skin. Many with skin problems have done liver cleansing programs for other reasons and their skin problems vanished. My webpage on Fasting has an MD saying that fasting has cured psoriasis and eczema. I have a tape by 2 doctors who have cleared up many skin problems without a change in diet by having people use an herbal product called Envirozon. It is a combination of wild growing herbal foods from the Amazon rainforest like stone breaker and boldo. To find out more about it see this website Amazon Herbs.
There are a lot more activities coming so you can bookmark this page. Also tell everyone you know about this so they can get natural help with their health challenges.
If you want to learn about a new herbal product that is the 2nd best food for depression and mood improvement (with 40 times the vitamin C content of oranges), see camu camu fruit from Amazon rainforest at Amazon Rainforest Herbs. Many, with and without depression, feel better using it. It helps maintain proper levels of the neurotransmitter serotonin in the brain helping people feel more calm. It is ranked number one for antiaging, asthma, atherosclerosis, cataracts, edema, glaucoma, hepatitis, infertility, migraine-cluster headaches, osteoarthritis and Parkinson's disease. Camu camu fruit has more vitamin C than any other food.
