Body and Soul Reconnection

Usually when we contract influenza (the flu) we are told to take pain killers, drink fluids and wait for the virus to run its course.  It is not necessary to suffer to that extent.  There is an herbal formula named Elderberry Defense and Elderberry Plus (chewable for children) which can be utilized to lessen the replication of a flu causing virus. It can also help the body build its defenses against the current Swine Flu.

HISTORY
During the 1980’s and into the 90’s, Israeli scientists Dr. Madeleine Mumcuoglu and Dr. Jean Linderman isolated two active constituents from elderberry. Both of these constituents proved effective in fighting strains of influenza by rendering the viruses unable to replicate themselves. These doctors then conducted a double-blind, clinical trial in which patients infected with the influenza virus were given either an extract of elderberry or a placebo. Seventy-five percent of the patients who received the elderberry extract were much improved within 48 hours.  After 72 hours, 90 percent of this group was completely well.

A pattern that is very troubling to me is the ever-present use of anti-biotics on both children and adults without the proper follow-up to protect the person.  Multiple use of antibiotics set-up the body for further infection and illness.  This is due to the fact that along with killing all the “bad” microbes, antibiotics kill all the good bacteria, also known as “friendly flora”.  “Friendly flora’ is an essential part of our immune system; much of these bacteria live in our gut.  It is estimated that we need about 3 pounds of this flora in our gut.  When our good bacteria are compromised “foreign” bacteria actually have an easier time multiplying and we tend to get more chronic and repeated infections.  For example, due to a couple of rounds of antibiotics the next cold someone gets may turn into bronchitis; it may not just simply stay a cold.  On top of bacteria having an easier time, yeast also begins to flourish in the body.

There is a medicine cabinet staple in my home that has allowed my family and me to stay away from conventional anti-biotics.  It is Colloidal Silver. Continue reading ‘Natural Antibiotic – Kill the Infectious Bacteria Yourself’

I was at a gathering once in which an analogy from the movie “Karate Kid” was compared to life.  I contemplated it more deeply and this is the question that surfaced for me, how has life been preparing me to evolve as a “master” of some sort?  Yet, how have I dismissed, grumbled or been unappreciative of the experiences and potential lessons my life has unfolded unto me.

Going back to the “Karate Kid”, do you recall how Mr. Miyagi was preparing Daniel-son to become a “master” of Karate? Continue reading ‘Like The “Karate Kid”, How Has Life Been Preparing You?’

Children diagnosed with ADD and ADHD have become so prevalent most parents just accept the diagnosis and the protocol in treating this ailment.  I don’t diagnose anything.  I just look for what is off balance or causing toxicity in the body.  Parents who sought my help because their child was being labeled “over active”, “disruptive”, “aggressive” or “lacking concentration”, have seen 90%-100%  improvement in their child’s “behavior” and/or academics.

In one case I met with a 9 year old child which was being labeled “inattentive”, “lacking concentration” and “forgetful”.  What was discovered was that he was deficient in iron.  Once the iron was elevated all these symptoms stopped.  However, most of the other children I have assessed have bouts of low blood sugar otherwise none as hypoglycemia.

In essence hypoglycemia results in sugar-starved brain cells that will not work normally and will result in the slowing down of body processes that the brain may deem least essential.  Children as well as adults can suffer from hypoglycemia; however, the symptoms tend to show up differently.  With both, extreme perspiration while sleeping can occur.

What are the signs and symptoms of a non-diabetic hypoglycemic child? Continue reading ‘Attention Deficit Disorder…Maybe Not’
