This is a long overdue article for American females. So many females are plagued with uterine fibroid tumors, older women as well as young teenage girls. Well, what are fibroids and how do they develop?

Fibroid tumors are benign growths that form on the interior muscular wall of the uterus. They also develop on the exterior of the uterus. I actually call fibroids what they really are trash bags. That?s right! The average American female?s body is so toxic (just like the average American male) and the major eliminative organs (colon, liver, kidneys, lungs, and skin) are either sluggish or outright doesn?t work, that the body?s intelligence actually causes an internal trash bag to form in the body to hold the toxic fluidic waste. This is the tumor. A tumor is a trash bag. Tumors hold waste to prevent the waste from circulating throughout the body.

The fibroid tumors range in sizes from small cherries to grapefruits and cantaloupe. The amazing thing is that many women who have fibroid tumors don?t even know they have them until diagnosed by a doctor. At first they are not painful, but as they grow, the pain subtly sets in. If you could see what a fibroid tumor looks like, it would gross you out. A good friend of mine named Tanya actually had her surgical removal of a fibroid tumor filmed.

A cousin of mine had a few fibroid tumors in her body as big as lemons and oranges. She was only 19 years of age. So fibroid tumors have hit very close to home for me personally.

Fibroid tumors are primarily caused by eating and drinking dairy (liquefied cow snot/mucus) products, e.g. ice cream, sour cream, cheese, yogurt and milk; and eating meat (slaughtered animal flesh).

The number one cause of fibroid tumors is dairy products. I find many females are hooked on dairy, especially cheese. It?s mind boggling to me because they have no idea of how cheese is processed. In order to make cheese, baby male cows are killed and their stomachs are cut open and their intestines are added to the cheese because of the intestinal enzymes. This is true! Disgusting, but true!

All that ice cream, cheese, and milk chocolate will eventually do a female in. To eat dairy products is to sign a contract for fibroid tumors.

Refined grains also play a role in the development of fibroid tumors, but dairy products are the major culprit. Just imagine what?s in that fibroid tumor - mucus, parasites and worms, and toxins to name a few.

Some tumors can grow so big that they can actually interfere with pregnancy. Most doctors will talk a woman with fibroid tumors into having an abortion for the sake of the fetus and the health of the woman.

Like with all other diseases, you can be healed of fibroid tumors. How? By dissolving them with herbs (in addition to modified diet)! You will excrete them out of your body via urination and defecation (and clotting via menstruation, if your body chooses this outlet). It will take some time, but they will eventually dissolve.

Fibroid tumors can make sexual intercourse very complicated due to immense pain and post-intercourse bleeding. They can greatly threaten pregnancy. They can also cause heavy and frequent menstrual periods, in addition to lethargy and fatigue and weakness. 40% of American females will unfortunately develop fibroid tumors in their lifetime, beginning as early as age 12.

I put together a formula for women and girls with fibroid tumors called Fibroid Buster. After doing our 3-week Full Body Detox (to start the healing and cleansing process), you can begin the anti-fibroid regimen by taking 6 capsules of Fibroid Buster per day.

Fibroid Buster is a formula that will help dissolve fibroid tumors in addition to cleansing the blood and the female channel. Fibroid Buster consists of the following herbs: Ashoka, Musta, Red Clover, White Oak Bark, Burdock, Carbon, Yucca, Manjistha, Goldenseal, Dong Quai, Squawvine, Cayenne, Witch Hazel Bark, Comfrey, and Rhatany.

Fibroid Buster is a powerful female reproductive channel and area astringent and alterative. It is 100% safe and sane, all-natural, and purely vegan.

Some of the most popular and commonly used herbs are: Basil (Ocimum Basilicum), Chamomile (Chamaemilum nubile), Oregano (Origanum vulgare), Garlic (Tulbhagia violacea), Peppermint (Mentha piperita) and Ginger (Pelargonium x nervosum).

 #2 Beware of the Scam Artist?

What is a scam artist? I thought long and hard before writing this article as not to offend anyone. Nobody would ever be complimented by being called a scam artist. A scam artist is one who takes your money for product or service and never delivers anything to you. They run off with your money to never be heard of or found again. I have found very few people in the world who are scam artists like that.

It has been my experience that there are similar traits in a lot people on the internet and I’ll let you be the judge weather or not you call these people scam artists. I usually find that program jumpers have similar traits and characteristics to the scam artists or maybe more resembling a swarm of Locusts. These people are usually people who jump ship to every new program out there on the internet. If a new program comes out, they jump in it, take all you suckers out there with them until they have sucked you dry and then move on to the next program.

Here is an article I found at http://encarta.msn.com/encyclopedia_761574486/Locust_(insect).html Let’s see if this resembles any of the so called "Internet Guru’s". Locust (insect), common name applied to a number of jumping insects and especially to the true locusts, which are migratory grasshoppers (see Grasshopper). The true locusts cause great damage to crops wherever they swarm. Control measures include the spreading of poison bait and the plowing under of locust eggs. Infestations threatening large regions of the United States are combated with insecticides sprayed by planes and truck-mounted mist blowers provided by joint federal-state programs.

Aside from the true locusts, the periodical cicada (see Cicada) is another important insect to which the name locust is applied. Grouse, or pygmy, locusts are small, jumping insects that are of little economic importance. Most species are dark brown and are less than 2.5 cm (less than 1 in) in length.

Now, does this sound familiar out there on the internet? I would love to warn you about these people by name, but would never do that. I will however, give you things to watch out for and let you be the judge.

If a person has joined 3 or more programs in one year, they are probably program jumpers, which as we see above, have similar traits to the locusts and do more harm than good. These people are simply out to take your money. No wonder they are making so much money. They have perfected the locust style of business.

Herbal remedies for constipation relief is a safe way to obtain healing without the use of harsh chemicals that can result in side effects. Harsh chemicals generally cannot be used over a prolonged period. Constipation refers to the difficulty in smooth bowel movements. It is a problem that many of us have.

Before touching on herbal remedies, some discussions on dietary changes is necessary as these are helpful for constipation relief. Constipation is largely a result of not having adequate fiber and water in our diet. Hence, it is recommended that you maintain a diet that is rich in fiber and one that involves drinking plenty of water.

Bulking laxatives can help in relieving constipation by adding fiber and lubrication that promotes bowel movements while cleansing the system. Psyllium husk, flax seed, and fenugreek are natural remedies that can provide bulk in your bowels; thereby cleansing your colon. You will have to consume at least a couple glasses of water when using this type of laxative.

Herbal remedies for constipation relief, such as cascara sagrada, are known to help stimulate the function of the intestines. You should, however, exercise caution when using certain herbal laxatives as they may cause diarrhea and dehydration. Irritating laxatives include aloe, which is not the same as aloe juice. It is very strong and requires close monitoring. Castor oil acts as a laxative, but can cause dehydration and chemical imbalances in the body.

Licorice is a safe laxative that can also be used in combination with other herbal laxatives to increase their effectiveness. Licorice helps by raising intestinal responsiveness; thereby relieving the spasms that causes cramping.

Another constipation herbal remedy is the dandelion root. Dandelion root is mild and can be safely used by those with chronic constipation. A tea made with dandelion root can be consumed up to four times daily as it is not a harsh laxative. Natural health experts say that this drink is recommended for those with a long term problem with constipation that is not related to diet or stress. Consider also drinking soothing chamomile tea to help soothe your stomach.

If your constipation recurs several times over due to an unhealthy diet and lifestyle, then do note that using herbal laxatives can only do little to help. It is better if you add herbs to your regimen of cleansing and include exercises on a regular basis to promote an overall calming effect. Additional measures include eating a cleansing diet, drinking plenty of healthy fluids, such as organic juices and distilled water and balancing your energy with stretching and yoga.

Herbal remedies for constipation should be considered if you are having a hard time straining over a few days. Harsh chemicals may be effective for the short time but they can also add to the toxic overload in your body. Hence, going for a natural approach in terms of constipation relief is highly recommended for optimal health!


 

Qigong practitioners traditionally consider various herbs and food supplements as part of their practice of preventive health. With greater understanding of nutrition and research supporting what traditional Chinese medicine has practiced for thousands of years, it is little wonder that more and more people are turning to qigong for answers to today's health problems. There are many herbs and food supplements that can treat or prevent hypertension. Here is a list of those that can significantly reduce your elevated blood pressure:

1. Vitamin C. A number of studies have shown 500 milligrams of vitamin C taken daily will help to lower blood pressure. However, avoid combining with grape seed extract. While there is no indication that grape seed extract reduces blood pressure, it has been found to actually induce high blood pressure when taken with vitamin C.
2. Onions. Added to salads and other foods, raw onions can help to reduce blood pressure in people with moderate hypertension.
3. Garlic. A natural antibiotic, it is antibacterial, antiviral and particularly, antifungal. Prostaglandin A, an active ingredient that gives garlic its distinctive odor, is largely responsible for reducing blood pressure and angina pain. Garlic can also act as a blood thinner and should not be taken weeks before surgery and during recovery. For best effect against hypertension, consume one or two cloves daily.
4. Coenzyme Q10 or CoQ10. This is a compound found naturally in our cells and is responsible for producing energy in the body. Not only does it appear to help lower blood pressure, reduce the effects of congestive heart failure, decrease gum disease when applied topically, but also reduce blood sugar in diabetics, as well as alleviate migraines and protect the brain from neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson. People suffering from heart failure also have reduced CoQ10 levels in their heart muscle cells.
5. Hawthorn berry. Called shanzha in Chinese, it is often used in Chinese medicine to treat high blood pressure and heart conditions and to aid digestion. For a reasonably low price, you can obtain a bag of dried hawthorn berries in Chinese herbal stores to make your own tea. Add hot boiling water to steep for three or four minutes. Works best with mild hypertension.
6. Mung beans. In Chinese medicine, they are considered yin or cold foods. In its dried, raw form, they are traditionally made into a pillow to effectively treat high blood pressure and heat or sunstroke by removing the heat from one's body.
7. Folic acid. A vitamin B that is responsible for red blood cell formation, it can help to lower blood pressure in some people.
8. Calcium and magnesium. Make sure you get sufficient amounts of magnesium in your diet to help your body absorb the calcium. I don't recommend cow's milk, especially if you are lactose intolerant. Chinese traditionally get their calcium from soy milk, which I find is a far better choice.
9. Soy nuts. One study suggests that a daily consumption of half a cup of unsalted soy nuts will help lower blood pressure in postmenopausal women.
10. Ginkgo biloba. Also called bai guo or yinxing in Chinese, ginkgo nuts are often added to congee and other Chinese dishes. It protects against oxidative cell damage from free radicals, promotes blood circulation and acts as an anticoagulant. Avoid taking in large quantities — six or seven per day for three to five days is sufficient to lower blood pressure. Side effects can include increased risk of bleeding, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, headaches and dizziness. Avoid using with MAO inhibitors or during pregnancy.
11. Salvia miltiorrhiza. Also called red sage or dan shen in Chinese, this herb is often used in Chinese medicine to treat cardiovascular disease and to thin blood. When slow-cooked in raw form, the effects can be long lasting, though it may take some time to work.
12. Chrysanthemum. Best taken as several whole flowers rather than as crystals or in tea bags. Steep in hot water for several minutes and drink a minimum of four cups daily. You can also flavor it with some raw honey to taste.
13. Dandelion. Excellent for hypertension and congestive heart failure, particularly in the spring when it produces mannitol that is used in the treatment of high blood pressure. You can make a tea out of two tablespoons of chopped dandelion roots and leaves by simmering and steeping in hot water. Drink 2 cups daily.
14. Panax notoginseng. Also called sanqi or tianqi in Chinese, it is also known as pseudoginseng. It has been used widely in Chinese medicine to treat all kinds of diseases of the blood. When ground into powder, it can be applied topically to heal bruising and sprains, and promote healing of broken bones. When slow-cooked in its raw form, it is an effective treatment for cardiovascular disease. Since it is also a blood thinner, avoid taking it before surgery and during recovery.

Always consult a physician before trying any of these herbs and food supplements. Some may be contraindicative to medications not mentioned in this article.
 

If you are trying to lose weight, gain lean muscle, and improve your overall health, there are 6 weight loss tips rarely spoken of through out the "Lose Weight" community you need that effectively and rapidly improve your health and help you lose weight fast. Losing weight and embarking on a healthier lifestyle is a battle, inputing the following six weapons into your arsenal can help you win the battle outright!

The first is: Apple Cider Vinegar:
Lower cholesterol, weight loss, increase metabolic rate are just some of the benefits of this great supplement, and to top it all off, it's natural! You can take ACV up to three times daily. It's best to take it before each meal as it will help in curbing your appetite thus reducing the amount of portions you would usually get with your meals. The recommended amount to take is 1-3 tablespoons (3 is recommended), mixed with a glass of water and a little honey to lower the acid taste. Make sure to consult a physician before taking this or any other supplement.

Second: Fish Oil or (Omega 3 Fatty Acids) Fish oil have two main fatty acids: DHA (docosahexanoic acid) / EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid). Make sure the supplements you purchase contain an adequate amount of these two fatty acids. They are also found in fish such as salmon. Fish oil is important to take on daily basis as it helps with mental health, helps in prevention of colon, prostate & breast cancer, also, heart health, and overall health. Make sure to consult a physician before taking this or any other supplement.

Third: Multi-Vitamin
Just about everyone has heard of Multi-Vitamins. But, most don't realize how important taking this supplement actually is. Due to busy lifestyles, and/or poor eating habits, most of us are lacking in important vitamin and mineral intake that our body need for optimum functionality. Choosing multi-vitamin brands can be a little tough. I recommend to search around and do good research on the different types of vitamins on the market today. Also, try to get multi-vitamins that are more tailored to you, i.e. (active lifestyle, for men, for women, for seniors, etc.). Make sure to consult a physician before taking this or any other supplement.

Fourth: Ice Cold Water
I know, I know, who else doesn't know that you need to drink plenty of water daily if you want to stay/get in great health! But, did you know that drinking ICE COLD water is really what does the trick with helping you lose weight? When you drink ice cold water your body begins to burn fat so that it can warm the water you've just drunk to body temperature. This is also known as the thermogenic effect. You won't burn a large amount of calories, but drinking large amounts is still incredibly important for your health.

Fifth: Olive Oil
Olive oil consist of unrefined monounsaturated fats, which is healthy for your body. Olive oil can also increase fat burning, healthy HDL cholesterol levels and more! Replace all of your usual cooking oils with olive oil. You can also use it as a base for salad dressing. Refer to healthy salad dressing recipes for more information on how to make this healthy alternative dressing to the usual high calorie and carb dressings on the market today. Before you take any type of supplement, even Multi-Vitamins, it's important to consult with your physician first.

Sixth: Green Tea
Green tea is highly recommended daily. Powerful antioxidants that helps cleanse your body, plus lowering cholesterol levels, weight loss, speeding up your metabolism, helping in treatment is skin disorders and so much more!

In conclusion, as with any program, supplements, etc., nothing is going to work correctly without maintaining a consistent routine of exercising.

SOLOMON’S SEAL AND ITS DIVERSE HEALING BENEFITS

For many users, Solomon’s Seal (Polygonatum biflorum) is a lifeline that restores them to an active and/or pain-free life. In our experience with herbs and natural remedies, rarely does a plant like Solomon’s Seal come along that is so quickly and profoundly effective in healing such a variety of serious conditions. A retired athlete, who has suffered for years from the devastating effects of countless injuries, finds himself miraculously pain free. A once active middle-aged woman with badly pronated ankles and knock-knees finds in a few weeks time that her knees and ankles are now straight, eliminating the need for surgery and enabling her to hike, garden, and mountain-climb as she did in her youth. A devoted musician and avid gardener experiences the healing of severe “tennis elbow”. An elderly woman with debilitating back and knee problems finds long-term relief and the return of her quality of life. A senior with a twenty-year low back problem and a shoulder injury from !
high school is back to normal within one week and finally able to sleep comfortably through the night.

Such stories of lasting healing through the use of Solomon’s Seal are commonplace. The average amount of time required to achieve good results is from one to three weeks. Occasionally, positive effects can happen overnight, while other users report gradual improvements over periods of one to two months, depending on the severity of symptoms.

Solomon’s Seal has been used and praised for centuries throughout Europe and Asia, where it is native. It is also native to woodlands in the eastern and mid-western United States. Well-known herbalist Mathew Wood, author of "The Book of Herbal Wisdom", deserves credit for bringing this remedy into the public eye here in the U.S. He writes: “I have finally come to view Solomon’s Seal as the single most reliable, useful and foolproof remedy that I have ever come across.”

The root of the plant is macerated in alcohol to create a tincture. A typical dose might be 5-10 drops, or less, taken 1-3 times daily. Tinctures are effective because the alcohol draws out the medicinal qualities of the plant. In addition, tinctures are quickly absorbed into the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system.

A very partial list of the benefits of Solomon’s Seal includes the following:
• Harmonizes, feeds, lubricates, and tightens or loosens (as needed) tendons, ligaments, attachments and joints
• Strengthens and harmonizes entire muscular/skeletal system
• Helps calcify and strengthen bones and decalcify unhealthy deposits
• Can be used before resorting to surgery or to speed the healing from surgical procedures, especially in cases of broken bones and damage to tendons, ligaments or soft connective tissue
• Helps cartilage to regenerate through adjusting connective tissue tensions on joints
• Speeds healing of bruises from blows and falls
• Produces a “plastic response” wherein diseased or injured tissues return to their original quality
• Is a valuable connective tissue anti-inflammatory and can help moderate osteoarthritis symptoms
• Is useful in various female problems such as vaginitis, pelvic weakness, painful menstruation, and menstrual cramps (PMS)

Runners, cyclists, gardeners, musicians, athletes, carpenters, physically active individuals, the elderly, among others, and those who suffer from acute or chronic injuries such as those listed above, may benefit from the use of Solomon’s Seal. It’s worth considering.
