ALTERNATIVE HEALTH QUESTIONS
While
I am not an expert on alternative health - I do know a lot of little things
that may prove helpful to people. Sometimes I just get lucky...
Here
are a few questions that I have been asked which may prove helpful for someone
else.
QUESTION #1
I
have a question about the amount of sweating I do. I sweat under the least
amount of heat and activity. My brow for example, will just pool; if I'm
outside and working or something it's ridiculous. I need to carry a towel
around. I could be just walking and sweat a storm. I know sweating is healthy
and all but this is excessive.
Quick
profile: I'm 26 years old. I eat fairly average. Probably too much fat & not
enough vegetables. I binge drink (6-9 drinks) probably once a week. I smoke
during that time quite a bit but then rarely smoke in between. I drink about 4
- 6 cups of coffee a week. I drink about 8 cups of water a day, quite
consistently. I work in front of a computer and get very little exercise except
that I walk every where I go. I've gained a bit of weight around the midsection
this past year, way too much for my liking. Reading what I've wrote I see there
are obvious improvements I could make and I want to make them but I have been
in this lifestyle for years and it has been hard to change. I guess I wanted to
know what factors effect my profuse sweating and what I can do. Could be the
least of my problems but I was hoping for some insights. Thanks.
ANSWER
When
you mentioned the perspiration you didn't specify if it was your entire body
that did this or just your head. I'll cover both.
Whole
body perspiration can be caused by:
~
Obesity - :} your body may think itself obese even if you are not and respond
with heavy sweating. One sign of obesity is profuse sweating coupled with
weight gain. You didn't say if the sweating began after the weight gain or
before so this is a consideration.
~
An allergic reaction to "synthetic materials" such as nylon [in the
clothes you wear, or in your blankets or on the chair you sit upon].
~
Alcohol poisoning can cause profuse sweating as your body tries to do a heavy
detoxification and your liver works overtime.
~
Anxiety, excitement and stress cause heavy perspiration as well.
If
the sweating is more from the head area it is likely you have blocked energy
channels in your neck area - this can be caused by injuries, stress, being
hunched over a computer [causing neck pain], etc. all of which result in heavy
sweating with little exertion. The most obvious sign is neck stiffness and/or
pain. A less obvious sign - head sweats that leave your forehead feeling cool
or cold to the touch while you are sweating and you can get headaches with the
head sweats [doesn't matter if it is from the heat or exertion but heat will
cause it to happen more often]. Another indicator of neck problems could be one
or both of your shoulders being stiff. Your neck may not bother you directly
but sore, aching or stiff shoulders and muscles are a sure sign that it is
affected. The best remedies I know of to correct blocked energy channels in the
neck area are Chiropractic treatments, Reiki, Feldenkraise, and Acupuncture.
You can do one or a couple of these to affect an energy release in the area -
all have proven themselves effective in opening up the channels to get them
running again. The best two are Feldenkraise and Acupuncture. Unfortunately
practitioners of Feldenkraise are very rare so I would suggest Acupuncture.
I
do not recommend massage or physiotherapy as alternatives because of damages I
have seen from inexperienced practitioners and deep muscle massage [on
injuries] is a real no-no :} so my learned masseuse friends tell me.
Physiotherapy takes far too long and is more for aiding the body and removing
movement restrictions.
I
hope this has been helpful. It is very possible you have more than one
condition to treat but from all the answers you have been given you now have a
list of several methods to combine and try. At least you are on the right path.

Thanks
so much, that was helpful.

QUESTION #2
I
am looking for a natural alternative for my dog and wondered if you knew of
one? He is 15 years old and still in pretty good shape. However he is getting a
little weaker in his paws which I notice when he gets up from his bed. I
suppose this can be expected at such age. Do you know of a natural approach to
keep him as strong and as healthy as can be? I love this dog so much that I
want to do anything I can to have him live a longer and healthier life without
chemical medicine. Please help! Thank You.
ANSWER
Actually
I know of a few. I also have a dog and he is ten years old. If your dog is friendly
and will allow it you can have someone who does Reiki give him energy - or you
can learn it yourself. Reiki energy is like catnip for dogs. I get the biggest
kick out of putting my hands on my pet as he cuddles next to me because after
just a few moments he lets out a long shuddering sigh. The more he is exposed
to Reiki, the more the long shuddering sighs. As I said, catnip for dogs. A dog
can actually handle the energy much more easily than a cat - body mass I
suppose.
One
of the biggest bonuses for a dog's health [with the most dramatic changes] is
the Mannatech Phyto-Bears for children. One a day is
all that is needed [at a cost of about 50 cents a day]. The difference was like
day and night with his responses. He was listless, didn't seem to recognize us
and wasn't eating. Fifteen minutes after he ate two [his first ever] he was
eating and full of energy again. A daily diet of one a day should keep your dog
very healthy [my dog weighs 85 lbs.]. If you'd like more information on
Mannatech, email me from the Mannatech page. This product is available all over
the world and can be shipped right to your front door. If you live in the USA,
it's even easier to get it to you [and cheaper for you to buy directly]. It's a
patent pending one of a kind product and it corrects a lot of health ailments
in animals and people. I take it too because it is an immune system builder and
helps correct a lot of problems of age - and the neat part - it's actually just
a food based on the enzymes in mother's milk. My husband was very skeptical of
the effects of the Phyto-Bears until he saw the changes in the dog - since then
he has been taking it also and feels better.
Eyebright
is fantastic for a dog's vision. I began to use it on my dog when we noticed he
couldn't see as well. We definitely noticed a difference and even our vet said
there was nothing wrong with his eyesight after he took it for a short while -
he was even able to see in the dark again. I also gave some eyebright to a
couple of neighbours to try and they both came back to ask me where to get it
because they noticed a big difference in their dog's eye vision too. It's
available in health food or bulk food stores in the vitamin sections.
Vitamin
C is fantastic in that it stops animals from being bitten by mosquitoes. My dog
had his first ever heart worm test this year and there was absolutely no sign
of the disease. The reason? Vitamin C [chewables]. Big dogs [dose 500] small
dogs, less. I wouldn't worry about diarrhea because older dogs are usually
constipated and this just helps them have more regular movements. I know it
stops mosquitoes from biting because I had two small children in the country
and they were not bitten all summer as long as the had their daily does of
vitamin C. My dog had his first ever blood test for heartworm disease and was
found to have absolutely no sign of the disease. :}
That's
all I can think of for the moment. I'll write if I think of anything else.

Great
advice, thank you very much!

QUESTION #3
I
wish to get some information on how to treat asthma, arthritis, men's problems
using alternative / household / homeopathy medicines or through mind control.
Could use an expert's help. Thanks.
ANSWER
While
this is not really my field of expertise I do know a few things that made a
huge difference in my health and I have several suggestions for you. [I am an
asthma sufferer and I have arthritis but neither of them bother me.]
For
arthritis I take "MANNATECH" products which I have shipped to
me whenever my supply runs low. Mannatech is a 'one of a kind' research and
development company in the new neutraceuticals industry. They are the
frontrunners because of their creation of Ambrotose complex. Ambrotose is in
all their products - and it is based on the essential immune system, etc.
enzymes that [as babies] we receive in mother's milk. This has also shrunk my
sinuses [I had chronic sinusitis until I took Mannatech] and I saw many other
positive physical changes in my body and I had never noticed I had these
'problems' until they disappeared.
Depending
on your choice of products, the number of capsules you take in a day. I started
out at full dosages but now find that I need to take most of them only when I
start to feel a sag in energy or see any of the old symptoms begin to reappear;
or I take them as a preventative when I'm under a lot of stress.
For
an allergy [dry] cough I take a Chinese herbal medicine which is also extremely
effective on whooping cough. The box is beige background with green writing,
etc. The picture on the box reminds me of Smith Brothers cough drops so I call this
remedy 'the Chinese Smith brothers'. The only non-Chinese writing on the box
[on the side] says, "FRITILLARIA VERTICELLATA & LOQUAT". I
usually need only one to three teaspoons in a day when I get the cough and it
could be several days, weeks, or even months before I need to take more.
For
asthma I take "SINGULAIR" which my doctor prescribed. I haven't had
to use an inhaler of any sort for over two years [and this is the season I'm
most afflicted]. Singulair has proven itself extremely effective when treating
adults with asthma [effects are not as good with children]. It is one tablet
per day at bedtime. Singulair stops the narrowing and inflammation of the
airways in your lungs. While asthma cannot yet be cured - it can be controlled.
For
men's problems several "CHINESE HERBAL MEDICINES" have proven
themselves very effective. For erectile dysfunction there are several in tablet
form which I'm told have corrected a lot of the problems. You will have to do
'trial and error' to see which one best suits your body's needs. Check other
stores too because some carry a wider range of products than others.
Unfortunately I no longer have the names for these products, being female I
didn't really pay attention.
Another
method proven very effective for arthritis asthma, etc. is "REIKI".
I know this works because I have several clients who come to me for sessions
and I've had tremendous results with them. If you like I can add you to my
distance healing list [there is no charge for this but I would prefer a bit
more information from you for this - we can do this privately if you wish - I
tune into the person's personal vibration through their name].
Often
a blend of several "ESSENTIAL OILS" has proven itself helpful
for asthma and physical pain. "MAGNETS" have also removed pain -
again I know because I used them for torn ligaments.& whiplash. I can give
you my recipes for essential oils if you like.
We
do not receive enough nutrition or other essential ingredients in our food
today and this is the main reason why so many people are being affected by
disease. The food produced is not left to ripen on the vine and therefore does
not form the proper and essential nutrients we need to fight off physical
disease. With proper nutrition it has been proven that people are better able
to fight off all illness - from stress to physical ailments. Your immune system
cannot function properly without these essential nutrients. This brings me back
to Mannatech which does provide all the missing essentials.
I
hope you find some of these suggestions helpful. I do know a lot of 'little
things' from personal experience, which often proves helpful to others.
If
you have any further questions or I can be of assistance in any other way [or
if you want to contact me privately], click on my COMMUNICATIONS page and send me an email from
there and PLEASE remember to send me your email address for a reply.
I
almost forgot, Singulair is produced by the pharmaceutical company called
"MERCK FROSST" in Kirkland, Quebec, Canada.
FEEDBACK
Hi,
thank you very much for this detailed reply. I would certainly try to get the
medicines you have advised. As for distant healing my name is *** and I am
based in uae.i hope this much information is sufficient but in case you need
more details please let me know. As for the medicines I am not quite sure I
will be able to get them here in that case would you be kind enough to advise
some household or homeopathy medicines for my problems.
I
have some more problems; anxiety and sometimes palpitation, please advise what
should I do for these ailments. I would also like to mention that I have been
practicing meditation and self-hypnosis for a very long time but have not been
able to see any change in myself but I have not given up - I still meditate.
Could you share your knowledge about healing with me? I wish to become a healer
myself. By the way could you tell what is chakra balancing, how it is done and
what are its benefits.
Thanks
again, regards.
ANSWER
Contact
me directly for a more private consultation and I'll give you any information I
can think of and I have a fair bit available on healing. We'll 'talk' soon.
I'll help you in any way that I can. You're on my healing list.

QUESTION #4
Both
of my ears have been hurting for about 2 weeks. My hearing has suffered from
this I feel like I have earplugs in cause I can barely hear. I have been on
antibiotics the whole time and they are not getting any better. I need help
cause this is driving me crazy, Not only the pain but the not having all my
hearing too. Is there anything I can do to make this better??? PLEASE HELP I AM
GOING CRAZY !!!!!!
ANSWER
This
really is not my field of expertise but it sounds like you could have a serious
problem and I don't like to see people suffer so I'll try with the little I
know.
You
didn't mention too much about the onset, what your activities were or if you
know how or why it came about. Were you recently swimming, flying in a plane,
or have you put anything foreign into them? You didn't mention if you had any
other symptoms with it.
From
your description, your symptoms sound serious and I would recommend you going
back to the doctor who treated you OR if you are not satisfied with this
practitioner's results by all means seek out another doctor - preferably a
specialist from the sound of it. There are a few serious conditions which could
permanently affect your hearing if left untreated. Much as we all appreciate
your faith in me, "ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE AND HEALING ARE NOT A REPLACEMENT
FOR TRADITIONAL MEDICINE - THEY ARE A COMPLIMENT TO IT!" All natural
healing remedies take time - they are natural because they are not invasive and
gentle on the body and take too much time to get the relief that you sound like
you need now.
In
ADDITION to your ears aching, if you have:
-
a blocked feeling in the ear that cannot be relieved by swallowing along with
your diminished hearing it could be an ear wax blockage in the ear canal
-
a blocked feeling in the ear that cannot be relieved by swallowing and you have
recently flown in an airplane it could be middle ear damage caused by a change
in pressure
-
any colored discharge from the ear you could have an infection of the outer ear
canal, or middle ear.
-
a fever it could be an infection of the middle ear
-
a stuffy nose it could be a cold or allergies [and yes allergies can cause you
a lot of inner ear pain]
-
a pain that worsens when your earlobe is pulled it could be an infection of
your outer ear canal
-
a pain in your tooth or jaw it could be a gum infection or an inflammation in
the joint or jaw
I'm
not sure what the symptoms of tinnitus are but I think they are more a result
of a condition in the joint or the jaw.
The
best of luck to you and I hope you soon receive some relief from this obviously
trying and painful condition.
FEEDBACK
Thank-You
for your help. There was nothing to cause it no swimming, planes, it started
with a sore throat. You have helped though. I will go to the doctor again.
Thank-You
very much.

QUESTION #5
What
homeopathic remedy will be helpful for the pain of endometriosis?
ANSWER
While
this really is not my field of expertise I do have a couple of suggestions that
might prove helpful.
Two
of my very best friends suffered with endometriosis and the one thing that
helped both of them the most was Reiki. They both got initiated and they both
use Reiki on themselves. When they are in great need and too much pain they seek
each other [or myself] for a treatment.
Another
item of interest is the use of essential oils, which blended in the right
formula for your need could prove very effective.
Magnets
are another medium, which I know to prove very effective for pain relief.
I
know eating ginger has stopped menstrual cramps [it has also stopped nausea and
vomiting in the individuals who have tried it].
Anyhow,
I hope these couple of suggestions prove helpful.
