Natural Remedies Over Traditional Medicine

I CanTravel Without Dramanine

2005-11-07T16:54:00.000-08:00

I'm a big time fisherman. Well..at least I like to think so. :P When my dad and I go on our boat charter trips the first thing on my mind is always sea sickness. In the past I have always used Dramanine.

The last trip we went on I tried out this new product from Native Remedies called CanTravel. I was pleasantly surprised that it worked the same as Dramanine but I wasn't drowsy or dizzy as I usually am. And guess what? CanTravel works for all kinds of motion sickness. Heres a little more info...

Travel or motion sickness is caused by movement in different directions, particularly when the individual is sitting or standing still in a moving vehicle, boat or plane.

It can also happen when there is a loss of visual contact with the outside horizon or due to pressure changes in the inner ear during air travel.

These events may cause confusion in the balance center of the inner ear, leading to fatigue, nausea, dizziness and even vomiting. It is not known why some people are more prone to motion sickness than others. While children may eventually outgrow motion sickness as their perceptual abilities mature, some people suffer the symptoms throughout their lives.

How do I use CanTravel?

Children and Adults: Fill inner circle of cap with granules (level, not heaped) and sprinkle on the tongue in a clean mouth 15 minutes before journey.

Thereafter repeat every 20 minutes if necessary. Improvement should be noted within a few minutes.

Babies and Small Children: Half fill inner circle of cap with granules (level not heaped) and sprinkle on the tongue in a clean mouth 15 minutes before journey.

Thereafter repeat every 20 minutes if necessary.

How has CanTravel helped others?

"Thank you for a very successful treatment of my motion illness. I can recommend this remedy to anyone who has it because it has really worked for me! What a pleasure to be able to go on a boat trip with my friends without throwing up!!!!!!!!" - Sidney

"As a mother, I really can't believe that I have finally found a solution to my son's travel sickness! He is 10 years old and we have tried so many things - he hates taking any kind of medicine and is usually upset and anxious before we even leave. All our vacations needed to be planned around his problem. These granules are tasty - after some initial refusal, he now loves taking them and they work so well that our son is now able to enjoy a car journey for the first time in his life. His father and I were amazed at how we could all sing along in the car the other day (including him!) It is also a great relief that he can accompany his class on school outings without feeling ill and nervous. Thank you for recommending this product to me!" - Jess (grateful mother)

"I wanted you to know that we have used your CanTravel granules for my little girl with great success. It was always difficult to travel anywhere in the car except for very short journeys and I didnt like the nausea medication we always had to give her. CanTravel is wonderful because it prevents her from feeling sick and she is much calmer during the journey. I can highly recommend this product. " - Fiona J.

How long does one bottle of CanTravel last?

This depends on frequency of travel, but CanTravel can last for a number of journeys.

Detoxify Your Body - Live Naturally And Be Healthy

2005-10-24T16:44:00.000-07:00

"I have been struggling with fatigue for many years. Every day I woke up feeling like I couldn't face the demands of the day - you know that feeling of "Oh No!" you get when you wake up?
After taking Detox Drops for only three days, I started to feel more alive and my energy levels increased every day. Also my headaches disappeared and I have less hayfever than before. Detox Drops are great!"- Carla, 43 years old.

"I live on junk food and I love it! I know I should eat healthy but it is difficult with my lifestyle. Detox Drops help when my body starts protesting too loudly!" - Anita, 25 years old.

21st Century life brings with it stress, environmental pollution, unhealthy diets and fast foods. Illnesses like cancer, heart disease, arthritis and other lifestyle conditions are becoming more frequent.

Despite plentiful food supplies and excellent medical facilities, many people in the Western world do not really know what it is like to feel truly healthy, full of energy and bounce.

Modern farming methods are often more geared to producing food which is 'bigger and better' - rather than food which is healthy and life sustaining.

Even so-called 'healthy food' is full of artificial hormones, insecticides and other chemicals, which destroy the vitamins and essential nutrition of the food we eat.

Research has shown that environmental pollution enters the blood stream via food, water supply and the atmosphere and causes levels of toxins to build up in the body. These toxins affect body functioning, especially the functioning of the liver.

The liver is the second largest organ in the body and is often seen as the most important one. In traditional Chinese medicine, for example, a healthy liver is seen as the most critical element in the body's ability to fight disease and function optimally.

Amongst other important functions, the liver is responsible for eliminating and detoxifying the poisons that enter our blood stream. It also produces bile which is essential in the breakdown of fats and is the organ which stores Vitamin A, D, E and K.

Environmental pollution, fast foods, drugs, alcohol and sedentary lifestyles all contribute to sluggish and diseased livers.

The result? Depressed immune systems, constant fatigue, obesity, sluggish livers and digestive systems, allergies, respiratory ailments, unhealthy skin and many other health problems.

Detox Drops are especially formulated to cleanse and detoxify the system, rejuvenate liver functioning, eliminate bloating and kick-start your body back to life!

Detox Drops can also assist with weight loss by improving the body's ability to break down and eliminate fat.

Combining the powerful detoxifying effects of Western herbal medicine and African herbalism, Detox Drops can help you to feel healthy, more energetic and full of life.

Detox Drops contain the following herbs:

Taraxacum officinalis (Dandelion): Dandelion contains bitter principles which have a beneficial effect on the liver and digestive system. Dandelion is also a rich source of vitamins and minerals, including Vitamin A, D, C, various B Vitamins, iron, lecithin, silicon, potassium, magnesium, zinc and manganese. It enhances liver and gall bladder functioning and may decrease high blood pressure due to its diuretic properties.

Foeniculum vulgare (Fennel): fennel has been used since ancient times as an appetite suppressant and was traditionally used to prevent 'growling stomachs' during church services. Apart from its diuretic properties, Fennel also promotes the functioning of the liver, kidneys and spleen and is useful for acidic stomachs.

Pelargonium reniforme : is a medicinal plant known to generations of Khoi/San descendants and Xhosa traditional healers for its health-giving properties. Also known as 'Umckaloabo', it is traditionally used for a range of therapeutic functions and is well known for its beneficial effect on liver functioning and as a digestive tonic. This species of pelargonium is indigenous to the Eastern Cape of South Africa and grows wild, sending out long bulbous roots deep into the ground. The medicinally active ingredients are found in the bitter tasting root of the plant.

How long until I see results?

Within a few hours there will be increased urination as the kidneys begin to flush toxins out of the body.

Thereafter, you will feel a little more energetic every day.

Day by day, symptoms like fatigue, lethargy, headaches, painful joints, acne, sinus, allergies, etc will decrease and energy levels and a feeling of well-being will increase.

"I take Detox Drops before and after a good party - I mean you are only young once! We all know the effect alcohol has on the liver and how you feel the next day, so I start taking them the day before and carry on for a day or two. I hardly ever have a hangover like I used to, thank goodness!" - Andy, 31 years old.

Allergiclear - Feel Better with Natural Allergy Control

2005-10-04T07:39:00.000-07:00

Cold Season Is Here! How I dread it. :(

Due to increased demand from our regular customers, we realized the need to provide an effective, yet safe alternative to the conventional treatment of allergic reactions like allergic rhinitis and hayfever.

Together with experts in the field, we have developed AllergiClear - a compound remedy containing herbal, homeopathic and nutritional ingredients known for their positive effect on preventing the allergic reactions to airborne allergens and improving respiratory health.

Taken regularly, AllergiClear can help you to become allergy free and reduce or even eliminate your dependence on synthetic antihistamines with their troublesome side effects.

What about conventional antihistamine treatment for allergic rhinitis and hayfever?

Doctors usually treat allergies supportively and with antihistamine drugs which can block the release of histamine and therefore reduce or prevent the allergic reaction. Antihistamines may be short acting or long acting and come in tablets, nasal sprays, inhalers, eye drops or syrups.

Antihistamines can be very effective and many people with severe allergies to airborne substances find it very difficult to lead a normal life without them. By preventing or reducing the allergic reaction, antihistamines can also help to prevent the illness cycle that arises due to frequent allergic attacks.

However, as always, the advantages of any medication should always be weighed against its disadvantages. Antihistamines can also cause unwanted side effects and even make allergies worse in some cases.

Disadvantages of Antihistamines

1. Antihistamines may lose their effectiveness over time
2. They can cause sedation and reduce concentration and increase the risk of motor vehicle and work related accidents
3. They may thicken mucus secretions and increase the risk of bacterial infection and sinusitis
4. They may make it more difficult for men with prostate problems to pass urine
5. Other side effects include insomnia, nightmares, dry mouth, rapid heart beat, anxiety and agitation
6. They should not be used with alcohol which can increase side effects
7. Some antihistamines are not recommended along with certain antibiotics or prescription antidepressants.

AllergiClear is helping people all over the world. Here are a couple of them:

"Do you know what it is like to breathe in and smell freshly mown grass? Well I could never dare to do this or risk horrible runny nose and streaming eyes. All summer long I had to put up with sneezing, red nose and swollen eyes. I HATED it!!! AllergiClear has made a big difference to my life and I can really recommend it to anyone with an allergy to pollen and grass. Thank you for this opportunity to submit my testimonial and all your help and sympathy! " Freda Jane

"At the age of 45, I have suffered from hayfever all my life, especially in the spring. My doctor and I have tried almost all the anti-histamines one by one which are usually effective at first and then less so as time goes by. Some years it got so bad I could not go out of the house and I always felt so unattractive with swollen and watering eyes and huge red nose! I have tried other herbs with limited success, but I was drawn to this remedy because it contained homeopathics and herbs. So far I have had far fewer symptoms with only a few mild attacks even though this is the time of year that usually really gets to me. I am going to purchase your SOS Hista Drops as advised when I spoke to your consultant. " Shirley,M UK

"I developed allergies in my teens to just about anything, especially house dust and animals. Antihistamines went everywhere with me, but didn't do the job completely. Without them I was a mess - with them I managed but always felt drowsy, depressed and listless. As a young man I did not even date much because I felt I could not kiss a girl when my nose was blocked and swollen and I felt unattractive. These tablets and the drops have helped more than I can say. Native Remedies products have helped every time I have used them for anything, including my allergies " Bennett, Melbourne Australia

Are the psychological and emotional symptoms even less bearable?

Feelings Like You Are Going Mad Or Losing Control
Feeling Alone And Out Of Place
Believing That There Is No Hope Of Normality...

...you are one of 20 million people in the USA alone who suffer with ANXIETY DISORDER and/or PANIC DISORDER.

Every single anxiety disorder, panic attack, phobia, OCD & PTSD sufferer on this planet has a condition that is caused and perpetuated by the same single thing; this thing is called the Amygdala, it’s a small almond shaped organ in the brain, this fact has been known for many years and is common knowledge amongst scientists world over. No matter how bad your symptoms are, no matter how long you have had anxiety disorder, this tiny organ is 100% responsible. IT is the cause of your anxiety; not stress, bereavement or life circumstances…they are just the triggers for the anxiety.

Why use The Linden Method over other Treatments?

This week I was asked an interesting question by an anxiety disorder sufferer who was interested in using the Linden Method, he asked:

”With all the products for anxiety disorder and panic attack sufferers available on-line, obviously I was attracted by yours, but why should I use it over someone else’s?”

What I have discovered is that my method is actually THE process that happens to ALL anxiety disorder sufferers who recover, but usually it is done subconsciously and actually quite by mistake.

I make the process conscious by describing its mechanics to build awareness and provide an easy to follow structure to work to.

I have NEVER found or heard of one case of full recovery where this process hasn’t been used…and no other product or therapy that I have ever researched or reviewed uses this technique.

Success is inevitable, it just has to be done.

'The Linden Method is fast becoming the most successful, sensitive and drug free treatment for anxiety disorders and panic attacks ever, and rightly so! We hope to have more centres across the UK soon to provide this revolutionary method to more of the people who really need it. No other solution comes as close to 'hitting the nail on the head' as this one'. I have seen and spoken to Charles' clients, once desperate people who now can't do enough to thank him.

Cigarette prices jacked again - I'm quitting

2005-07-05T09:02:00.000-07:00

I live in Central Ohio. A couple days ago the taxes were raised on cigarettes -- yet again. I'm really tired of this. $4.75 a pack. Stupid. I am going to have to do something about this. Cigarettes are costing me way too much.

Nicotine patches, pills, you know how the list goes.

I came across an interesting site called Quit Smoking Right Now. They claim a 90% success rate and there is a lot of support from people that were happy with their program.

Checking this out might not be such a bad idea. Cigarettes have me feeling really crappy, also. They just drag you down, know what I mean?

What Do Customers of Quit Smoking Right Now Think?

"The Quit Smoking Right Now Program works from DAY ONE! It was quick and easy. I tried everything else. Nothing worked. I have NO urges or desires for a cigarette after 40 years of smoking! You have to try it to believe it. I'm so glad I did."
Linda Russell

"I just wanted to take a moment and thank you for saving my life.

In September 2004, on a whim, I purchased your Quit Smoking Right Now program. I have tried so, so many times to quit smoking and succeeded short-term. I was a 25 year smoker and loved the habit. I picked up your program half hoping it would work. I'd try anything cause I knew the health risks were real but was unable to control my habit. I "sort-of" tried your program and only half applied what was in there. "BIG MISTAKE". After 30 days, I asked for a refund and you returned my money to me. Right around Thanksgiving I found myself still smoking and was surprised that I still had access to your product. I plugged in and with focus and desire was able to quit in one day. No nastiness, freaking-out or any of the stuff associated with my previous attempts at quitting. I didn't even tell my wife who asked days later what was up. I was clear, cool and happy.

I am in my own business and distribute products on the Internet. After 60 days being smoke free, (longest ever), I decided that you were entitled to your money and I owed you big-time for your product. I called you and you were floored by the offer to pay you again. Thanks for your fabulous product and thanks for saving my life. I am truly a non-smoker for the rest of my life."
Ed Price, New York

"A BIG thank you! After 25 years of smoking I am now free of this bad habit and have NO cravings. The Quit Smoking Right Now Program was FUN, EASY and I feel more relaxed and ENERGETIC. I am able to do what I want to do now!"
Carla Bushey

After you have read/listened to our program, about 3 hours, you just carry on with your normal routine only having to set aside a half hour or so per day for 3 weeks (or less) to listen to a special recording we made. Easy!

SuperFoods Rx : Fourteen Foods That Will Change Your Life

2005-06-21T20:45:00.000-07:00

SuperFoods Rx : Fourteen Foods That Will Change Your Life
by Steven G. Pratt, Kathy Matthews

SuperFoods Rx is based on a simple but profound premise: some foods are dramatically better than others for our health and longevity.

Sure, everyone knows that an apple is a better snack than potato chips, but do you know that a daily handful of walnuts or a bowl of blueberries can actually improve your well-being and longevity?

Steven Pratt, M.D., witnessed the positive results that occurred when his patients with age-related macular degeneration changed their diets to include certain powerhouse foods -- those he has identified as SuperFoods. Backed by proven research on fourteen of the most nutrient-dense foods, this book puts these tools in your hands, and on your plate, to give you more energy, greater protection against disease, and a healthy lifestyle now and for the future.

Whether you're 63 or 23, now is the right time to start eating the SuperFoods way. By making these foods part of your regular eating habits, you can actually change the course of your biochemistry and stop the incremental changes in your body that lead to diseases such as type II diabetes, hypertension, certain cancers, obesity, and Alzheimer's.

What are the fourteen SuperFoods? Many may already be part of your daily meals, while some may make occasional appearances. But all are supermarket-friendly nutrition powerhouses:

Beans - Blueberries - Broccoli - Oats - Oranges - Pumpkin - Salmon - Soy - Spinach - Tea -- green or black - Tomatoes - Turkey - Walnuts - Yogurt

SuperFoods Rx not only outlines the amazing health benefits of these fourteen foods, it also includes delicious recipes, kitchen tips, and shopping suggestions that will make the SuperFoods lifestyle simple and irresistible.

Don't like tomatoes? Not to worry; almost all of the SuperFoods have sidekicks -- or substitutions -- that you can enjoy instead. Have some lycopene-rich red watermelon or pink grapefruit instead of tomatoes. Can't bear the thought of spinach? Choose from a list of other dark leafy greens, romaine lettuce, or orange bell peppers.

In SuperFoods Rx, Dr. Pratt leads you from the twentieth-century world of macronutrients -- proteins, fats, and carbohydrates -- into the twenty-first-century world of micronutrients -- phytonutrients, carotenoids, and antioxidants. You'll find:

1. Individual chapters dedicated to each of the fourteen SuperFoods, with the health benefits for each outlined and supported by Dr. Pratt's research, along with ideas for simple ways to get more of these foods into your everyday meals.
2. Fifty original recipes featuring SuperFoods, especially developed by Chef Michel Stroot of the world-renowned Golden Door Spa.
3. A shopping list of brand-name foods to ensure you're buying the most nutrient-dense SuperFoods available.
4. Guidelines for formulating your daily nutrient goals and supplement recommendations.

With Dr. Pratt to guide you through the new nutritional frontier, you will be able to choose and enjoy the foods that are most beneficial to your health, well-being, and longevity.

SuperFoods Rx. You'll feel super.

Holy Superfoods Batman!!, May 20, 2005
Reviewer: a reader

I like self-help books and heard about this one. In a nutshell, it's about 14 foods that are very important because of their outstanding health benefits. For me, the best part is the studies in the back of the book that actually support the information. I give it 5 stars easy. Also compatible with this book readers might want to check out is "The No-Beach, No-Zone, No-Nonsense Weight Loss Plan, A Pocket Guide To What Works."

You can do this...if I could., May 8, 2005
Reviewer: Tania_Tingel (Australia)

I bought this book with the reluctant intention of going on an anti-cancer diet. I have just been diagnosed with a potential cervical malignancy and my best friend suggested I go on an anti-cancer diet for life as a precaution.

After just 7 days I cannot believe how much better I feel. The most marked change is that I don't get that afternoon slump where I crave chocolate and/or more food and I've stopped continuously craving food. I have heard other nutritionists describing people who don't eat the right food (regardless of how much they eat) as "starving" because they are not getting enough nutrients and I think that was true of me.

In fact I have been having salads for lunch and for the first time in my life I have been feeling satisfied. (In the past I always felt hungry, even just after having a big meal.) My former self would not believe that my future self could possibly say that a salad could satisfy me. I always thought that salads were something that supermodels ate, while starving their way to thinness...

Dr Pratt has excellent little tips that can help you out while shopping..such as not buying bread unless it has more than 3 grams of fibre per serve. With so many different breads competing for your attention in the supermarket isles, flaunting their apparent health giving properties, it's very difficult to know what to purchase. This simple little rule has been of great benefit to me.

Also, what I love the most is that every person who uses the book, applies their new found knowledge in their own way. I am a fussy eater and don't like some of his food suggestions, however I have found that I can very easily incorporate the superfoods into my diet in my own way. He also has supplementary food items he calls "sidekicks" if you don't like the primary superfood he suggests.

Dr Pratt emphasises eating the right foods rather than the minor issues of whether its raw, cooked, combined with the right foods, the right amount, a complete protein, the right balance of carbs vs protein etc. He feels that people get bogged down by the unimportant detail of the latest food research and then become dissolusioned and then throw out the baby with the bath water. He doesn't talk about what not to eat, in fact I tried to find out whether he allows coffee or not, and I couldn't find a reference to it. That impressed me... because his diet makes you feel good about yourself... no food guilt here. So I allow myself to eat whatever I want after I've eaten enough of the superfoods... and strangely, I don't find myself wanting the hot chips or chocolate... because for the first time in my life I feel satisfied.

Dr Pratt references the latest food research..I found the detail of the make-up of the foods too much information for me to process, but it's there if you need it, if you want to know why the food is good for you. I'm happy to just accept the results.

In terms of losing weight (I'm a little over weight) but I'm curious to see where my weight will end up being if I change to this diet for life. Wherever that is will be the right weight for me.

I'm starting to think of food as nature's drug..if healthy food were illegal we'd probably all binge on it on the weekend!

Good for what ails you, and tasty too, February 18, 2004
Reviewer: B. Marold (Bethlehem, PA United States)

This excellent new book by medical doctor Steven Pratt pulls together a lot of recent nutritional research in an easily digestible format by focusing on the fourteen most healthy foods, the foods which can be grouped with these fourteen to provide variety, and some basic methods for preparing these foods.

This is a presentation to the layman of scientific results. By it's nature, this leads to simplifications and potentially misleading statements. My biggest concern with any book of this type is that it is overstating its case. There is no question in my mind that eating these 14 foods (and avoiding worthless foods) will improve your health. The book is very careful in not quantifying potential gains, but it does come dangerously close to making medically unfounded statements. One I detected is the suggestion that eating cholesterol-reducing foods such as oats and cabbage family vegetables will remove the need for drugs to reduce cholesterol. When I posed a similar question to my physician, he kept to the medically sound albeit very conservative line that the tendency of the body to produce cholesterol is genetic and keeping cholesterol within safe levels for me requires medication, probably for the rest of my life. This is a case study of why books like this tend to overstate their cases. Response to improvements in diet is determined by one's genetic makeup. What works for some may not work for others. The bottom line for the skeptic's view of this book is to take all the statements on benefits from these foods with a grain of salt. They may be right for you, and they may not.

Having made the skeptic's case for this book, I turn to the advocate's case. The advantages of the book's simplifications is that you can cruise your megamart with these fourteen (14) foods at the top of your list and focus on those products which are on the list or are allied to the items on the list. While I am not a clinical scientist, I am an informed layman, having developed information systems for medical professionals for 35 years. With those credentials, I believe that eating these foods will, in the long run, be better for your health than not eating them.

One of the best aspects of this book is the list of `sidekicks' to each of these fourteen foodstuffs. Having been a big fan of green vegetables from way back, the list of sidekicks to broccoli is positively erotic, including my favorite Brussels sprouts, cabbage, turnips, and Swiss chard. The only food without a sidekick is tea. Sorry, coffee doesn't make the list. Another favorite sidekick is peanuts. Nuts are on the list, but peanuts actually makes the list because it's a legume, like beans, and not a nut. A little misdirection there.

The best thing about this list is that, to my mind, only three of these foods (oats, soy, and yogurt) are uninteresting. I personally find all the others to be range from being pleasant (broccoli, salmon, spinach, pumpkin, tomatoes, beans, and turkey) to being positively delightful (blueberries, oranges, tea, turkey, and walnuts). One great thing about the tasty foods such as blueberries and walnuts is that they can brighten up the taste of the bland stuff (oats and yogurt especially).

With the warning that I am neither a medical nor a nutritional professional, I believe this book tends to raise questions about the currently very popular low carbohydrate diet doctrines. I say this not because many of the foods on this list are high on the devil's list of low carb advocates, but that high carbohydrate foodstuffs are often the best of mates to some of these foods. Two famous pairings are beans and rice and berry jam and bread.

The book contains a very nice section of recipes by a very talented and recognized spa chef. They are all very tasty looking and the notes to the recipes contain a lot of hints, such as the most nutritious varieties of sweet potatoes and the method for making yogurt cheese. But, I will probably never make any of them. Instead, I will file away all of the food combinations and use them when I select recipes from other cookbooks or improvise recipes on my own.

If these fourteen foods represent a `kosher' or best selection, it would be nice to see a selection of `parve' foods. That is, foods which fall into a neutral to good category. Two prime candidates would be olive oil and red wine. The book mentions and recommends both and is wisely careful in citing wine as a beneficial food. This interest is addressed to some extend with the Lifestyle Pyramid which endorses whole grain products, healthy fats, and reasonable portions of red meats and eggs.

In spite of the opening skeptical paragraph, I believe this is a delightfully promising book which gives easy to follow guidelines without oversimplifying things too much. For those who are not already fond of spinach and turkey and tomatoes, I recommend they establish a relationship with a good book on Italian food and start with turkey Florentine (turkey and spinach) and vegetable lasagna.

With a list price under $25, I recommend this book to everyone.

Natural Diet Supplement From Cactus Like Plant - Hoodia

2005-06-21T10:16:00.000-07:00

If you are looking for an all natural way to diet - and are tired of all the side effects you get from stimulant based diet products. Gordonii is an all-natural appetite suppressant, derived from a cactus-like plant and grown mainly in the Kalahari Desert region of South Africa. Scientists have been researching the Hoodia plant for almost a decade, and have found it to be free of harmful side effects. The way it works is simple -- basically, it fools the brain into thinking you’re not hungry. A reduction in appetite by 1000 calories a day has been shown by British Studies.

Hoodia is available in several forms and in many incarnations. Of these, the most effective is the refined powder form offered by Hoodia-Know. This form is the closest to Hoodia in its natural state; only the water is removed from the plant before it is ground down to a very fine powder. This eliminates any “excess” and gets you a more concentrated appetite suppressant.

What Do Others Think About Hoodia Gordonii Diet Supplements

"Before ordering Hoodia Super Slim 400 I had started all diets and tried many diets pills but, could never continue due to the feeling of hunger I felt. Because of these failed attempts year after year, I was depressed and ready to give up. After watching the (CBS News) 60 Minutes piece on Hoodia from Africa I searched the web and found Hoodia-Know. Your site has been a godsend! My life has changed because of the Hoodia products I found at Hoodia-Know.com. I felt I just had to write and say Thank You."

Susan

"I began taking the Hoodia Diet Extra pills before Christmas and within a week my favorite jeans felt more comfortable and I became so much more comfortable in myself. I took the tablets as directed and quickly found that I became fuller faster and my gorging between meals almost vanished. I was most pleased with this as I felt this is the root cause of much of my weight gain. I have enjoyed a great Christmas where I have simply eaten what I want - which certain was not as much as usual. I feel refreshed rather than guilty as I have not over eaten. Many thanks ... "

With This Great Fat Burning Ebook You Will Learn To:

Lose fat without drugs. When you mention bodybuilders, some people think of steroids or fat burning drugs. It's sad but true - most pro bodybuilders take them. But the joke's on them. Drugs work, but the results are temporary and the side effects are nasty. The tiny handful of natural bodybuilders who have learned how to use training and nutrition science to alter body composition without drugs are the only people in the world who keep their fat loss and muscle gains permanently. Now you can learn these fat burning secrets from a natural bodybuilding champion who knows from real-world experience exactly how it's done.

Lose fat without supplements. 97% of all supplements are a total waste of money! You are being lied to and ripped off by crooked companies that don't give a rat's ass about your health and well-being. If you want to learn the ugly truth about the $13 billion per year supplement industry, and the $40 billion per year weight loss industry, then read every word of this report because it could save you thousands of your hard-earned dollars!

Lose fat permanently. It's a fact - 95% of the people who go on conventional diets gain all the weight back and sometimes they end up fatter than when they started. Now you can learn how to be in the successful 5% group that keeps it off forever.

Lose body fat without wrecking your metabolism. If you've ever started a diet, then smashed into the dreaded "plateau," it's probably because you cannibalized your own muscle and slowed down your metabolism. Not only will this system teach you the only way to prevent your metabolism from crashing, you will also learn more than a dozen ways to fire up your "metabolic engine" and accelerate your body's natural rate of calorie-burning.

I've spent my entire life studying bodybuilding, fitness and nutrition. Ever since I was a teenager, I wanted to know everything there was to know about getting leaner and more muscular - I've been absolutely consumed by it. So I started studying - and hard! I was voracious! I bought every book on bodybuilding, weight training, aerobics, fitness, exercise physiology, dieting, fat loss and nutrition that I could get my hands on.

When I was in college studying exercise science, I would spend hours at the University library. I would take home stacks of journals about physiology and nutritional biochemistry and study every word. At one point, I had saved up over 1000 fitness and muscle magazines and had read every one of them from cover to cover - even the advertisements! My library quickly grew to over 450 health and fitness books and I had read every word almost to the point of memorizing them.

The Source Of All Disease

2005-06-12T17:48:00.000-07:00

So why is there disease? The very word means that the body is in a state of Diss-Ease. It is certainly not being provided with the optimal conditions that it requires to maintain itself healthily. Unless you provide it with the right conditions, mentally, physically and spiritually, it will not function at its optimum level.

The triangle of MIND, BODY and SPIRIT represents the three inseparable components of our being and wellness. None of these factors can be affected without there being an effect on the others. Similarly, you cannot treat one without considering the others.

It is however fair to say that at a given time it may be appropriate to devote more attention to one area, rather than another. Good health is about good balance, just as homeostasis within the organism is about good balance.

Tissue Salts Will Lead You To Bed

Triple Complex Sleep Tonic helps the body relax and produce all the hormones essential for healthy sleep.

Triple Complex Sleep Tonic contains Calcium Sulphate, Magnesium Phosphate and Calcium Phosphate and can help to restore healthy sleep patterns naturally.

Best of all, Triple Complex Sleep Tonic is safe for everyone, including pregnant and nursing women, children, small babies and people on other prescription drugs.

For chronic insomnia, use together with our Mindsoothe Capsules, MindSoothe Jr. Capsules, Serenite Sleep Drops and Serenite Jr. Sleep Drops

What Do Others Think About Triple Complex Sleep Tonic?

"I took your Triple Complex Sleep Tonic while I was pregnant and have continued ever since because it really helps me to sleep well. I have also used it in a little bit of warm water for my baby and for my three year old son, who have both inherited the family insomnia and find that they sleep soundly. It is truly wonderful to find a product which does so much good without the risks attached to the drugs that are usually prescribed!" Lindi B.

"Thanks to your Sleep Tonic, my nights of lying awake are over! I have a heart condition and cannot take anything else - so you can imagine how glad I was to find something that works so well and which also does not interact with my heart medication!" Sheila.

Is Triple Complex Sleep Tonic safe?

Even some vitamins taken in excess can do harm! Not so with Tissue Salts.

Due to a unique and specialized manufacturing process, our tissue salts are present in a highly absorbable form and only minute amounts are therefore present in each tablet.

This means that tissue salts are very safe and free of side effects.

It is impossible to overdose with tissue salts and they may be safely be taken by people of all ages, as well as infants and women who are pregnant or nursing.

If tissue salts are nutritional, can I get them from a healthy diet, also?

Yes, in theory you can - and that is how it is supposed to be! Since the 12 different tissue salts are present in all organic matter, our bodies obtain tissue salts from the food that we eat and the water that we drink.

A healthy diet should be able to provide all the tissue salts that your body needs. Due to modern farming methods, the food that is available to us is often deficient in the minerals and vitamins essential to health - even if we follow a healthy diet.

Added to this is the fact that many people rely on fast food or pre-packed processed meals due to time constraints and a stressful lifestyle.

Through time, this can lead to symptoms of poor health and disease. What this means is that most people in Western countries are deficient in essential vitamins and other nutritional substances, and need to take supplements daily.

Digestion Tonic Tissue Salts For Many Digestive Disorders

2005-06-01T18:26:00.000-07:00

Dr Scheussler, a prominent 19th Century German doctor, conducted research which demonstrated that, when reduced to ashes, each human cell contains 12 minerals or biochemic tissue salts and that these minerals should be present in all living cells in perfect balance to ensure good health.

Imbalance, or a deficiency of any of the tissue salts, causes disease and the body begins to develop symptoms associated with the tissue salts that are lacking.

Restoring the correct balance of tissue salts in the body will therefore remove the symptoms and restore health and vitality.

This system of medicine is called Biochemistry and is still practiced today by homeopaths and naturopaths all over the world.

What are tissue salts?

Tissue Salts, also called cell salts or biochemic salts, are composed of minerals which occur naturally in our bodies and all organic matter on earth, such as plants, rocks and soil.

Dr Scheussler, a 19th Century German doctor, conducted research which demonstrated that, when reduced to ashes, each human cell contains 12 minerals or biochemic tissue salts and that these minerals should be present in all living cells in perfect balance to ensure good health.

Imbalance, or a deficiency of any of the tissue salts, causes disease and the body begins to develop symptoms associated with the tissue salts that are lacking.

Brain Tonic Tissues Salts

2005-05-25T17:14:00.000-07:00

Are tissue salts supplements or medicine?

A little of both in a way! Tissue salts can be described as 'Nutroceuticals' - nutritional substances which are used to maintain optimal health and functioning and also to restore balance and relieve symptoms of disease.

Tissue Salts can therefore be taken regularly to prevent illness and improve functioning (just like vitamins), but can also be used to treat symptoms when this is necessary (as one would do with medicines).

The only difference is that they are taken more frequently to treat symptoms and less frequently as a preventative and a health aid.

As an example, certain tissue salts can be taken three times a day to promote digestive health. However, if symptoms like indigestion, gas, nausea or bloating occur, the frequency can be increased too.

What is Triple Complex Brain Tonic?

Triple Complex Brain Tonic contains Kalium Phosphate, Natrium Muriaticum and Calcium Phosphate and is the ideal choice for people with concentration and memory difficulties (including ADHD, ADD and Alzheimer's) as well as for those who are studying or under work stress.

Triple Complex Brain Tonic may be taken together with the following herbal remedies for maximum effect: Memo-Rise, StudyPlus, Focus ADHD Formula, Focus ADDult.

How has Triple Complex Brain Tonic helped others?

"My 9 year old has a problem with concentration and forgets EVERYTHING you tell him. There is a big difference since he has been taking the Brain Tonic - the other day he even reminded me about a school meeting. It is such a relief to find something that works as the teacher wanted him on Ritalin if he did not improve" Sandra G.

"I have found your Focus ADDult and Triple Complex Brain Tonic to be excellent products. Although I am intelligent, I have always found it difficult to study and could never achieve my full potential. These two products have helped me to study for longer periods of time and there is definite improvement in my ability to retain what I have learnt and organize my thinking. Thanks for all your help!"

Cholesterol - The Good, Bad and Ugly

2005-05-21T21:48:00.000-07:00

High cholesterol levels often exist without any significant symptoms and many people only discover the problem after they have had heart problems like angina or even a heart attack.

If your cholesterol levels are very high, you may notice small yellow nodules beneath the skin of your eyes, eyebrows or elbows. Although it is possible to do a home test (obtainable from your pharmacy), these tests only measure total blood cholesterol levels and do not measure HDL.

The best way to find out whether you have high cholesterol levels is to visit your doctor, homeopath, naturopath or other health care provider.

Healthy adults should have their cholesterol levels measured at least every five years and more frequently if they are overweight, already have a cholesterol problem or if there is a family history of heart disease or high cholesterol.

What is Cholesto-Rite?

Like high blood pressure and high blood sugar levels, high levels of LDL cholesterol are recognized as symptoms of imbalance in the system. Naturopaths recognize that the whole system and not just the symptoms should be treated.

Research has demonstrated that a combination of natural remedies, regular exercise and dietary changes can make a significant difference to LDL levels and reduce or even eliminate the need for prescription drugs.

In response to soaring rates of high cholesterol and atherosclerosis, the pharmaceutical companies have produced a class of drugs which are collectively known as 'statins'.

The statins have a one dimensional effect of reducing the body's ability to synthesize cholesterol. They do not, however, distinguish between the 'bad' cholesterol (LDL) and the 'good' cholesterol (HDL) and can also reduce levels of Co-enzyme Q10 and L-carnitine, two very important molecules which are involved in energy production and fat metabolism.

Myalgia and even stomach, lung and liver tumors have also been associated with the use of these drugs. It is very important that people who are taking prescription medication for high cholesterol be regularly monitored by their doctor.

Cholesto-Rite is a much healthier approach and one which will have far reaching benefits in terms of quality of life and general well-being.

Recognizing the need for a healthier and more effective approach, without the side effects of the statin drugs, Native Remedies, in conjunction with a practicing Clinical Psychologist, has developed Cholesto-Rite - a 100% herbal remedy containing well researched ingredients and manufactured in therapeutic dosage according to the highest pharmaceutical standards.

Cholesto-Rite not only lowers LDL cholesterol, but also increases levels of HDL, the 'good' form of cholesterol that helps to remove excessive LDL from the bloodstream and prevent the buildup of plaque in the arteries.

Regular use of Cholesto-Rite can help to balance the system and prevent heart disease and stroke, as well as ensure healthy arteries.

Because Cholesto-Rite also contains herbs that have anti-oxidant properties, Cholesto-Rite can prevent the damage caused by free radicals in the system. Research has shown that free radicals (unstable oxygen molecules) are implicated in the build up of coronary plaque, leading to atherosclerosis, heart attack and even stroke. (see bottom of the page for research and clinical findings)

What Do Others Think Of Cholesto-Rite For Cholesterol

"I was taking prescription drugs which I don't agree with but was not sure about natural remedies for such a serious thing as high cholesterol. I tried Cholesto-Rite with the permission of my doctor and can really say that it works with no side effects as well. I am so happy that I am also going to try Mindsoothe for my depression instead of Prozac which gives me so many problems. Thanks for all the advice and support which you gave me in the emails." - Fran, K.

"High cholesterol runs in my family, but as usual I thought I would never have that problem. When my doctor told me that I had this problem I realized that I had to make some changes. I believe in natural medicine and my doctor knows this so she agreed to let me try your product which I found on the internet. After only one month there was an improvement and after two months my cholesterol levels were down to normal. I am very happy with this product and can recommend it to anyone with a similar problem." - Joe, S.

Gastronic Dr For Digestive Disorders

2005-05-17T19:24:00.000-07:00

Why try natural remedies like herbs to treat digestive disorders?

There are many synthetic over the counter and prescription medicines to treat digestive complaints and disorders like IBS, Crohn's Disease, Gastritis, Acid Reflux Disease (GIRD), Diverticulosis and Ulcerative Colitis.

These include anti-inflammatories like Sulfasalazine, Asacol, Pentasa and Dipentum, corticosteroids, drugs that suppress the immune system, antibiotics and other medication for symptomatic relief.

While these synthetic medications may make a big difference to quality of life for people suffering from digestive disorders and dysfunction, many also come with side effects like nausea, vomiting, heartburn, headache, diarrhea and even greater risk of infection.

Immunosuppressant drugs may also lower the body's natural resistance to illness.

Naturopaths recognize that the whole person must be treated in order to maximize health and reduce symptoms of imbalance in the system.

Research has indicated that a combination of natural remedies, regular exercise and dietary changes can make a significant difference to the lives of people suffering from digestive disorders and complaints.

While many of these problems are strongly linked to modern eating habits, digestive disorders have been around since the dawn of time. This means that the natural approach has a long history of excellent results without side effects and further damage to the system.

Recognizing the need for a healthier and more effective approach, without the side effects of the prescription drugs, Native Remedies has developed Gastronic Dr. herbal remedy which contains well researched ingredients and is manufactured in therapeutic dosage according to the highest pharmaceutical standards.

Gastronic Dr is a capsule which is used every day for the digestive tract and as a preventative for flare ups of stomach and digestive disorders such as IBS, Crohn's Disease, Gastritis, Acid Reflux (GIRD), Ulcerative Colitis and Diverticulosis. Gastronic Dr. safely and effectively acts to improve digestive health, reduce inflammation and reduce and prevent digestive disorders.

What Do Others Think About Gastronic Dr.?

"I used to be able to eat anything but as I got older I had to be so careful with my food. Things improved after I cut out dairy products but I was always worrying about stomach cramps, heartburn and gas. One good thing was that I lost weight but I did not enjoy my food and even stopped going out. Since using your products, things have changed for the better and I can control my symptoms by myself without chewing on expensive tablets all the time." Lydia.

"Thanks to your sound advice and superb products, my digestive problems are a thing of the past. I have recommended them to a girlfriend who has Crohn's Disease and she's already seeing results after only two weeks." Sidney.

Gastronic Dr., used regularly, will show improved symptoms within 3 - 6 weeks, although some people respond much sooner. Over time, acute flare ups of chronic digestive disorders will decrease in frequency and intensity.

Digestive Disorders - Cue Answered

2005-05-16T15:29:00.000-07:00

Digestive Disorders can be confusing! Here are some definitions.

Remember that it is always best to consult your doctor for advice on chronic digestive problems that do not respond to changes in diet and lifestyle.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) - also known as 'spastic colon' is one of the most common chronic health disorders in the world and affects up to 20% of the population. It is a dysfunction of the bowel and large intestine, causing lower abdominal pain, cramping, constipation and diarrhea. Causes have not been conclusively identified, but are thought to involve problems in communication between the bowel and the brain.

Crohn's Disease - is one of the Inflammatory Bowel Diseases. It causes inflammation in the digestive tract (usually the small intestine), resulting in chronic pain and diarrhea. There may also be rectal bleeding, weight loss and even fever. There are different theories about what causes Crohn's Disease, but many doctors believe that the immune system reacts to a virus or a bacterium, causing chronic inflammation in the intestine. Crohn's Disease tends to run in families.

Diverticulosis - is a condition in which 'pockets' or diverticula form on the wall of the colon or the large intestine, usually on the left side. This is a result of weaknesses in the bowel wall. Symptoms include left lower abdominal pain, diarrhea, cramps, changes in bowel habits or even rectal bleeding. Diverticulosis is associated with a diet high in processed foods and low in fibre and fluids. Diverticulitis occurs when there is an infection in the 'pockets' or diverticula of the intestinal wall. Diverticulosis can be effectively treated by increasing dietary fibre and fluid intake and using herbs to soothe and tone the lining of the digestive tract.

Ulcerative Colitis - is also an Inflammatory Bowel Disease and is associated with inflammation and ulcers in the inner lining of the colon and rectum. People who suffer from ulcerative colitis usually alternate between periods of flare ups and remission, often influenced by stress, diet or illness. Symptoms include rectal bleeding, diarrhea, abdominal pain and cramping and an urgent need to empty the bowels.

Gastritis - is an inflammation of the stomach lining. It may be caused by eating spoiled food, by bacteria, viruses, by certain chemicals, as well as by stress and lifestyle factors. Symptoms include nausea, vomiting, fever, diarrhea and cramps. Gastritis may be acute or chronic. People who suffer from chronic gastritis should investigate dietary changes, stress management and removal of alcohol, cigarettes and spices.

GIRD - or Acid Reflux Disease - is a condition in which the stomach acid 'backs up' or refluxes into the oesophagus due to dysfunction of the lower esophageal sphincter. This causes pain and burning, often called heartburn - although it has nothing to do with the heart. While we all have heartburn at some stage, persistent heartburn (more than two or three episodes a week) may suggest Acid Reflux Disease. Other symptoms include a sour taste in the mouth, swallowing difficulties, upset stomach and even coughing and hoarseness. Some causes of Acid Reflux Disease, or GIRD, include a hiatal hernia, obesity, smoking, alcohol abuse and certain foods. Symptoms can be greatly relieved or prevented by lifestyle and dietary changes as well as the use of herbs known to promote healthy digestion. If symptoms persist, it is always wise to consult your doctor to prevent further complications.

Heartburn, Indigestion, acid reflux, gas, bloating, diarrhea, constipation - are all symptoms which we experience from time to time. If you are occasionally troubled by these symptoms, you can obtain quick relief by using Native Remedies DigestAssist Drops, especially formulated for rapid relief of uncomfortable digestive complaints. If you have these symptoms regularly, this may indicate incorrect diet, unhealthy lifestyle or one of the conditions described above.

What do others think about Thyroid Assist Natural Remedy?

"I always felt frustrated about my inability to loose weight no matter how much I tried. Eventually I went to see my doctor who checked my thyroid and told me that it was underactive. He said I would not lose weight because my metabolism was too slow. Since then I have used Thyroid Assist and for the first time I can see the results of my efforts! Also my chronic constipation is a thing of the past, thank goodness." - Caroline

"I have been using anti-depressants for years and years and always wanted to stop taking them. Every time I tried, I became depressed again, even though there was no real reason. I went from doctor to doctor and had so many different drugs that I lost count of them all. Eventually I decided to go for therapy and thank goodness I went to see Michele Carelse who referred me to have my thyroid tested. I was so relieved to find that I had a hidden thyroid problem which was causing my depression. I have been using Thyroid Assist and Mindsoothe for three months and I feel like a new person. I can get through my day without being exhausted for a change and my depression is completely gone - without therapy and NO MORE anti-depressants!" - Michelle.

"Thank you so much for your excellent remedy. I can recommend Thyroid Assist to anyone with an underactive thyroid" - Malcolm

Ancient Egyptian Herbal Medicine

2005-05-09T12:34:00.000-07:00

Egyptian medicine was widely respected throughout the ancient Mediterranean world.

The earliest written records of its practices are to be found in the Ebers Papyrus, dating from the sixteenth century BC. This is historically of value since in itself, it represents a compilation of earlier works that contain a large number (877) of prescriptions and recipes. Once again we see how many of the plants currently used by herbalists are mentioned, including opium, cannabis, myrrh, frankincense, castor oil, fennel, cassia, senna, thyme, henna, juniper, linseed, aloe and castor oil.

Bye Bye Fungus

2005-05-07T12:52:00.000-07:00

What is the best treatment for candida overgrowth or candidiasis?

Many different types of anti-fungal medicines are prescribed to treat Candidiasis, including Amphotericin B, fluconazole, nystatin and ketoconazole. Like many other prescription drugs, these often come with unwanted side effects, but may be necessary in the case of severe Candidiasis or where all other treatment options have failed.

What is Candidate?

There are a number of herbal remedies which have been shown to have a positive effect on intestinal health and functioning, as well as known anti-fungal properties.

Native Remedies has chosen the most effective of these and combined them in a unique therapeutic formula called Candidate.

Candidate is especially designed to treat Candida overgrowth, prevent topical Candida infections such as thrush and promote the growth of healthy probiotic flora in the digestive tract, thereby achieving lasting control of Candidiasis.

Candidate contains herbs that specifically target fungus overgrowth. Candida is a fungus, this means that Candidate is able to eradicate the fungal overgrowth at its source and thereby help to balance and restore intestinal health.

In addition to its anti-fungal properties, Candidate also contains herbs that are well known for their ability to soothe the digestive tract, repair cell damage caused by Candida overgrowth and strengthen liver and immune functioning, thereby improving overall systemic health.

Candidate contains the following carefully chosen herbs in therapeutic dosage:

1. Cymbopogon citratus (lemon grass) is known to stimulate cell regeneration and to soothe and treat intestinal infections, as well as pathogenic intestinal flora such as Candida albicans. It has known anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties and can help to repair intestinal walls that have been damaged by Candida overgrowth ('leaky gut' syndrome).

2. Calendula officinalis, has strong anti-fungal and anti-inflammatory properties and is also an effective liver tonic, thereby improving overall systemic functioning and aiding in the removal of toxins from the body.

3.Tabebuia impetiginosa (Pau d'arco bark) contains the active constituents Lapachol and beta-lapachone, which are also known as naphthaquinones. Laboratory tests have demonstrated that both Lapachol and beta-lapachone have anti-fungal properties as potent as ketoconazole, a common antifungal drug, used in the treatment of Candidiasis and yeast infections. Pau D'arco is not soluble in water and is best taken in tincture form where the active ingredients have been extracted medicinally in pharmaceutical ethanol. To prevent side effects, it is also important that the whole bark is used in the extraction process. This process has been followed at Native Remedies to bring you the strongest and most effective formula possible.

What Do Others Think About Candidate Natural Remedy?

"Candidate has helped me a lot with a whole range of symptoms that I did not know were related to candida infection. I had the whole lot - depression, joint pain, gas, heartburn, itches in all the wrong places! When I read the symptoms I knew I had it bad so I took Candidate, Immunity Plus and also went on the Candida Diet for a month. I am eating normally now except for sugar and junk food and I feel like a young man again. I have started gardening again and I can walk upright when I wake up in the morning which is a real miracle for me!" - David.

"I have been up and down to so many doctors for recurring thrush infections. Each time I was successfully treated but each time it came back again. I also had a lot of wind and burping after my food which was very embarrassing and I used to become anxious whenever I had to eat in public. Only when I read your information did I realize that candida was the problem. Since I have taken a course of Candidate I have not been to the doctor once with thrush and I no longer burp the way I did. I can truly say that this product has changed my life!" -Hazel

"I can definitely recommend Candidate to anyone who has these symptoms if Candida infection as I had for years and did not know it. Please excuse my English I am Italian but I really had to let you know how well it worked for me. My life is different, not tired all the time, no more thrush (terrible!) and going to the doctor. My asthma is also better and I can breath for a change again!" - Carla.

Cut the Crap - Control your Blood Sugar

2005-05-05T14:38:00.000-07:00

Insulate Plus is a complex herbal remedy that assists in the treatment and prevention of diabetes.

Like all Native Remedies products, it is developed with care by our practicing Clinical Psychologist, is 100% natural and is manufactured according to the highest pharmaceutical standards. Individual ingredients are well-researched and have been put to the test over the years as a complement to the treatment of real people with real problems.

What do others think about InsulatePlus herbal remedy?

"I recently visited my doctor because I felt tired all the time. He said that I was at risk for diabetes due to my bad eating habits :-( My grandmother had diabetes so I know I have to be careful. I started taking Insulate Plus and my doctor can't believe the difference! " Janice L.

"Because of diabetes I had major problems with my feet and always felt tingling and discomfort. Sometimes I couldn't sleep because of it. Anytime I had a sore, it took foreverto heal. Since using Insulate Plus this is a thing of the past and I sleep so soundly! I have used many of these products and have never been disappointed with their effectiveness as well as the fast and efficient service and friendly advice!" Simon.

Can I use Insulate Plus together with insulin and my prescription diabetic medication?

Yes, you can - but NOT without first consulting your doctor. Insulate Plus is very effective in controlling blood sugar levels and improving the body's ability to use insulin.

This means that blood sugar levels must be monitored in people who are also taking prescription diabetic medicine as it is highly likely that their prescription medication will have to be reduced or even stopped altogether.

If your doctor is not familiar with natural remedies or is unsympathetic towards your quest for a healthier alternative, seek a second opinion.

Is Insulate Plus recommended if I am pre-diabetic, at risk for diabetes or have a family history of diabetes?

Absolutely! Many people with borderline diabetic symptoms or those at risk for diabetes will benefit from the regular use of these remedies.

Remember that it is also important to make sure that you follow a healthy lifestyle in order to effectively control the risks of diabetes.

Eye Problems A Serious Concern - Worldwide

2005-05-02T17:59:00.000-07:00

Vizu-all-plus natural remedy by native remedies

When it comes to your vision, here are six things that you should keep in mind as you progress through life:
> Healthy eye functioning
> Cell damage caused by free radicals
> Blood capillaries in the eye
> Macular degeneration
> Cataracts
> Glaucoma

What is Vizu-All Plus and how does it work?

Vizu-All Plus contains herbs especially selected for their effectiveness in the natural prevention and treatment of diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma,cataracts and macular degeneration.

It does this by improving the supply of blood, oxygen and nutrients to the tiny capillaries of the eye and by counteracting and protecting against the damage caused to the eye by free radicals in the system.

Because it also strengthens the walls of the blood vessels in the eye, Vizu-All Plus also helps to reduce hemorrhages in the eyes - a condition often associated with diabetes.

Can I use Vizu-All Plus along with my prescription medications?

Yes, you can. No adverse interactions have been noted between the ingredients in Vizu-All Plus and other prescription medications.

However, as with any medicine, it is always advisable to consult your doctor before making any changes or additions to your medical program, especially if you are already using prescription medicines.

what Do Others Think About Viz-U-All Plus?

"Because of diabetes, I often used to have a hemorrhage in my eyes, which made it difficult to see until it cleared up, not to mention the way it looked!. My doctor told me that there was not much I could do about it. After taking Vizu-All Plus for about two months it hasn't happened again once. I am so pleased about this and just wanted to let you know." - Lizzy

"I have noticed many improvements since using your Vizu-All Plus remedy. My vision is much clearer and I can definitely feel less pressure in my eyes. I have had far fewer headaches and the constant tingling in my hands and feet is almost gone now. Thank you very much for an excellent remedy." - Terence

"Your child has autism!"

2005-04-29T08:55:00.000-07:00

Many parents who first hear the words "Your child has autism" are shocked and dismayed.

While we have all heard about autism, many of us have only vague ideas of what the diagnosis means and what can be done to help children and adults lead as normal a life as possible.

The truth is that autism, being a spectrum disorder, affects different people in different ways and no two autistic children are exactly alike. There are also many different theories about what causes autism and what can be done to treat it.

This makes things very confusing for parents who are struggling to come to terms with what is best for their child.

In order to make a formal diagnosis of Autism, the following symptoms must be present (DSM lV-TR)

Impairment in social interaction

1. Lack of eye contact, facial expression and social gestures
2. Failure to develop peer relationships
3. Does not seek out social interaction
4. Lack of social or emotional reciprocity

Impairment in communication skills

1. language delay or absence
2. inability to initiate and sustain conversation
3. stereotyped or 'strange' use of language
4. lack of make believe or social play

Restricted, stereotyped and repetitive behavior, interests and activities

1. abnormally intense preoccupation with certain activities or areas of interest
2. inflexible insistence on certain nonfunctional rituals or routines
3. stereotyped and repetitive movements e.g. hand flapping, preoccupation with parts of objects

To make the diagnosis at least 6 of the above must be noted, as well as developmental delays in at least ONE of the following areas:

1. Delayed or abnormal social interaction
2. Delay or abnormal use of language in social interaction
3. Delay or absence in symbolic or imaginative play

The delays or impairment described above can vary from mild to severe. Remember that many healthy children will display some of the above symptoms. This does not make them autistic!

It is important that the full cluster of symptoms described above be present. Some of these symptoms may be present from early infancy, but usually become more obvious by 2 - 4 years of age.

Natural alternatives

Herbal and homeopathic remedies can be viable alternatives to the synthetic drugs and may be just as effective, with far fewer risks and side effects.

Depending on the symptoms that need treatment, Native Remedies recommends the following remedies to assist in an overall treatment plan.

What are others saying about native remedies' tinctures?

I have an 18 year old, mid-range functioning, autistic son that was in such anxiety over the transition to the bus and school that we were considering putting him in a group home. I was desperate in trying Mindsoothe, but thought anything is worth a try. We have been giving him a child's dose as soon as he gets up, in his juice and our mornings have never been so smooth. Thank you so much for keeping our family together and giving him the peace of mind to make these transitions easier. His school notes have NEVER had words like fun, cooperative, and finishes his work before. THANK YOU - Karen, GA

"I am writing about the big improvement in my daughter, Janey who is autistic. She can't be taught in a mainstream school because she can't keep up in a big class but she is in a special needs school. The teacher said that unless she had Ritalin she would never be able to learn anything, which I was very upset about due to all the negative stuff you read. My daughter is such a sweet child but she cannot concentrate on one thing and jumps around not even able to sit still on her seat. If she does sit still, she is flapping her hands or tapping her pencil and nothing goes in. After one week of Focus we could see that she was calmer and after 6 weeks she could sit still and do some drawing. Now she is more calm and responsive in class and I can notice that she is happier to go to school. I can tell you that the teacher can't believe it as she said that the natural stuff is not strong enough for my child, but she was wrong!!" Stacy, CT

Tula Tantrum Tamer
"Thank you for all your advice and for lending an ear in my hour of need. I have received the Tantrum Tamer and am giving you the results as you requested. I am very happy with the way that it calms my son when he becomes so angry and starts to scream and kick. I am using it every day as you directed and he is definitely calmer and has less tantrums. When he does get upset I give him an extra dose and the tantrum seems to disappear. He likes to take the medication and seems to know that it will help him." Diana

Children - Aspergers - Reality

2005-04-26T07:44:00.000-07:00

What are the causes of Asperger's Syndrome?

It is not known what causes Asperger's Syndrome, although there appears to be a definite genetic component as it tends to run in families. While there is as yet no clear evidence as to the causes of Asperger's Syndrome, there may be certain 'triggers' which may precipitate the condition.

These include environmental factors like pollution, food intolerances (particularly to foods containing wheat, gluten, sugar and dairy products), digestive problems and even childhood vaccinations (particularly the MMRI).

There are also suggestions that Asperger's Syndrome may sometimes be linked to high levels of Candida in the gut. Clearly much more research is needed in this area.

One thing is sure - Asperger's is NOT caused by bad parenting or problems in the family! It is unfortunate that many parents have been made to feel guilty for a neurological disorder which is not their fault.

Is there a cure for Asperger's Syndrome?

Asperger's Syndrome can currently not be cured and the condition is lifelong. However, with correct treatment and therapy, many people with Asperger's can go on to lead normal lives and may even excel in certain areas of occupational functioning.

Can Asperger's Syndrome be treated?

Yes, most definitely! However, because Asperger's is a relatively new diagnosis in the field of developmental psychology and psychiatry, many treatment approaches are still in the developmental stages and lots of work still needs to be done in this area.

One thing has definitely been established - the sooner treatment begins, the better! This applies especially to remedial, educational and therapeutic intervention.

While there is no specific treatment or 'cure' for Asperger's Syndrome, there are many interventions which can significantly improve the functioning and quality of life of people and children with Asperger's.

What Do Others Think About Native Remedies

Our son is Asperger's PDD. He is on Concerta 36 mgs, but he still was having anxiety and tantrums, and other issues. Since he is on the PureCalm, he has not had a tantrum, and has not displayed many of the behaviors that concern us. He does not have any side effects from the PureCalm, and he's much calmer!! I can't describe the relief. - E., Kansas

"Super, Super products. My two children, ages 11 and 6 have Asperger's Disorder and ADHD. My life was crazy trying everything from vitamins, minerals, amino acids, color therapy, NAET, homeopathy, chelation, and several others. My 6 year old is taking brightspark 3X a day. He is sweet and kind again. No more outbursts. The biggest joy is to see my son with Asperger's giving good advice to his younger brother. He is much more socially appropriate since be began taking mindsoothe and PureCalm." Lisa, PA

MindSoothe Jr.
"I felt that I really wanted to write to you to say thank you for the wonderful change that we have seen in my child. I always knew that there was something different about him but we went from doctor to specialist for years with everyone having a different opinion. This really did a lot of damage as well as teachers who did not understand. Finally only last year we saw a wonderful doctor who told us that he had Asperger's and everything fell into place! We have tried various prescription and natural drugs over the years most of which have not helped or had side effects. I was not happy with this and am so glad to have found a natural remedy that finally works. After three months, the mood swings have virtually disappeared, the obsessing over things has improved dramatically and he is more responsive and able to listen to what others have to say instead of behaving as if he was on his own planet all the time. What a difference to our household!" Gayle, UK.

To assist you with your choice of remedies, Native Remedies has put together a number of treatment ComboPacks, based on the problems most commonly associated with Asperger's Syndrome

All remedies are developed with care by our practicing Clinical Psychologist, are 100% natural, safe, and manufactured according to the highest pharmaceutical standards. Individual ingredients are well-researched and have been put to the test over the years as a complement to the treatment of real people with real problems.

Stomach Disorders Way Too Common!

2005-04-24T07:17:00.000-07:00

Why try natural remedies like herbs to treat digestive disorders?

There are many synthetic over the counter and prescription medicines to treat digestive complaints and disorders like IBS, Crohn's Disease, Gastritis, Acid Reflux Disease (GERD), Diverticulosis and Ulcerative Colitis.

These include anti-inflammatories like Sulfasalazine, Asacol, Pentasa and Dipentum, corticosteroids, drugs that suppress the immune system, antibiotics and other medication for symptomatic relief.

While these synthetic medications may make a big difference to quality of life for people suffering from digestive disorders and dysfunction, many also come with side effects like nausea, vomiting, heartburn, headache, diarrhea and even greater risk of infection.

Immunosuppressant drugs may also lower the body's natural resistance to illness.

Naturopaths recognize that the whole person must be treated in order to maximize health and reduce symptoms of imbalance in the system.

Research has indicated that a combination of natural remedies, regular exercise and dietary changes can make a significant difference to the lives of people suffering from digestive disorders and complaints.

While many of these problems are strongly linked to modern eating habits, digestive disorders have been around since the dawn of time. This means that the natural approach has a long history of excellent results without side effects and further damage to the system.

What are Gastronic Dr. and DigestAssist?

Recognizing the need for a healthier and more effective approach, without the side effects of the prescription drugs, Native Remedies has developed Gastronic Dr. and DigestAssist - both100% herbal remedies containing well researched ingredients and manufactured in therapeutic dosage according to the highest pharmaceutical standards.

Gastronic Dr is a capsule which is used every day for the digestive tract and as a preventative for flare ups of stomach and digestive disorders such as IBS, Crohn's Disease, Gastritis, Acid Reflux (GERD), Ulcerative Colitis and Diverticulosis. Gastronic Dr. safely and effectively acts to improve digestive health, reduce inflammation and reduce and prevent digestive disorders.

DigestAssist, the perfect companion to Gastronic Dr., comes in fast-acting and convenient drop form, and can be taken as needed to quickly put an end to symptoms of heartburn, nausea, gas, indigestion, and acid reflux. If symptoms such as gas/cramps/heartburn flare up (e.g. after eating the wrong food) a few drops of Digest Assist will soothe the symptoms away.

What are others saying about Gastronic Dr. and DigestAssist?

"I have struggled with IBS for years and years and used to despair that I could lead a normal life. My doctor told me to 'live with it' .

Carlos.

"I used to be able to eat anything but as I got older I had to be so careful with my food.

One good thing was that I lost weight but I did not enjoy my food and even stopped going out. Since using your products, things have changed for the better and I can control my symptoms by myself without chewing on expensive tablets all the time." Lydia.

"Thanks to your sound advice and superb products, my digestive problems are a thing of the past. I have recommended them to a girlfriend who has Crohn's Disease and she's already seeing results after only two weeks." Sidney.

Sexual Fertility and Overall Health

2005-04-22T00:52:00.000-07:00

Millions of couples are affected by infertility. Many undergo months or even years of expensive and frustrating fertility treatment without positive results.

While some causes of infertility can only be corrected by surgery, herbal remedies have been used successfully for thousands of years in traditional medicine in order to increase fertility and improve the functioning of the male and female reproductive systems.

Native Remedies, together with experts in the field, has formulated herbal fertility tonics for men and women.

Fertile XX (fertility tonic for women) and Fertile XY (fertility tonic for men) contain carefully selected herbs to promote reproductive health, increase sperm production, regulate ovulation and improve overall systemic health, without the negative side effects of prescription drugs and conventional infertility treatments.

How can herbal fertility tonics help?

Herbs have been used in traditional medicine for thousands of years to increase fertility and to treat conditions which prevented couples from conceiving.

There is therefore a large body of traditional evidence to support the effectiveness of certain herbs in treating infertility and promoting successful conception and pregnancy.

How do the herbs in Fertile XX and Fertile XY work to help couples who are struggling to fall pregnant?

No medicine, including herbal medicine, can help if there are structural problems that affect infertility or when infertility is due to serious genetic problems. It is therefore important to consult your doctor in order to find out what is preventing pregnancy. This will ensure that you receive the correct treatment.

Where there are no structural or genetic causes of infertility, Fertile XX and Fertile XY can help to improve fertility and ensure that the male and female reproductive systems are in peak health in order to increase the chances of conceiving a baby.

Some of the herbs can also correct hormone imbalances and increase sperm and testosterone production, as well as regulate the process of ovulation, promoting the production of healthy eggs.

For those couples who are eager to conceive, using Fertile XX and Fertile XY will optimize reproductive health and promote easy and healthy conception.

If you are struggling to conceive, Fertile XX and Fertile XY will help treat the problems that are making it difficult to fall pregnant, ensuring that all systems in the reproductive process are operating normally and therefore increasing the chances of falling pregnant.

What have others been saying about Fertile XX and Fertile XY?

"We have been trying to have a baby for 4 years even went through fertility testing and artificial insemination with no results next step was to do the IVF. While I was researching for IVF medication I came across this site with herbal remedy for infertility, So we decided to give it a shot before IVF. We bought a 3 month supply because in the testimonials women got pregnant in 6 months after trying the product. My husband and me only took it for one week before my fertile days and guess what 3 weeks later I started feeling like I had the stomach flu for 3 days and on the third day I got a pregnancy kit and tested, the result was positive. I have never had a positive result in my entire 40 years. Of course I did not believe it, so took another test with the different brand and got the same result. Then went to doctor and the blood work was positive too. I am now 5 weeks pregnant. So I would advise anybody out there that this product works if you do not have any structural defect so try it you will not regret it." - Catherine

"I am married for 6 years and have never taken the pill but I have no baby. My husband said we must try the herbal tonics which I refused because I was not sure about them. he did convince me and I am so glad because I became pregnant after 5 months. I was nearly ready to give up but he told me to continue and now I am so happy about my pregnancy. Thanks to my husband and to Native Remedies!" - Gladys M.

"My wife and myself went for tests as she had not fallen pregnant after two years of trying. The tests showed that she was ready to have a baby but my sperm count was very low, which was a big shock for me. I always see a homeopath and he recommended Fertile XY to increase my sperm, which I agreed to because I was feeling bad that I could not give my wife the baby that she wanted so much. I am so happy to report that our first baby is due to be born in January next year. My wife is also very pleased with me!." Malcolm R.

Obsessive Compulsive

2005-04-20T15:38:00.001-07:00

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is an Anxiety Disorder which has as its main characteristics obsessive thoughts and ideas, which are sometimes accompanied by compulsive behaviors and actions, often designed to ward off the obsessive thoughts.

There are currently no medical tests which can diagnose OCD. Diagnosis is usually based on information about symptoms as well as clinical observation. Diagnosis of OCD can be made by Psychiatrists, Clinical Psychologists, medical Doctors, Pediatricians or by a multi-disciplinary team .

What causes OCD?

There are various theories or explanations for OCD.

Psychoanalytical and psychodynamic theorists often see the obsessive thoughts and compulsions as a defense against anxiety or repressed subconscious impulses. Other theorists believe that the symptoms of OCD may be learned through various mechanisms during childhood or adulthood.

There is also strong evidence that some people have an inherited tendency to develop OCD and that OCD is linked to problems in brain chemistry, neurotransmission or receptor functioning.

Research suggests, for example, that people with OCD frequently have abnormalities or deficiencies in serotonin levels and that their symptoms improve when this serotonin imbalance is addressed with medication.

It is likely that there is no one single explanatory cause for the development of OCD and a combination of factors may often be responsible.

Are Psychiatric drugs the only alternative for OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder)?

Many psychiatrists feel that the only effective treatment for OCD involves medication with psychiatric drugs like clomipramine, Prozac or other SSRI's (drugs which prevent the uptake of serotonin).

While psychiatric drug therapy can often relieve the symptoms of OCD, there are associated risks of side effects as well as an effect on overall health. This often results in the individual having to take a variety of different prescription drugs, which is both expensive and not ideal from a health point of view.

It is important to realize that treatment with psychiatric drugs is not the only answer. Counseling and psychotherapy, especially cognitive therapy, has been shown to be very beneficial and can make a marked improvement in the symptom picture of people with OCD. The earlier that counseling or therapy is begun, the less chance symptoms have of becoming entrenched, although therapy can be beneficial at any stage. Therapy should be carried out by a Licensed Counselor or Clinical Psychologist who is experienced in the the field of OCD.

There are also natural alternatives to the psychiatric drugs which will help to balance serotonin levels and therefore reduce or eliminate the symptoms of OCD.

Michele Carelse, our Clinical Psychologist, has had many years of experience treating people with depression. Together with experts in the field of natural medicine, she has developed MindSoothe - a combination of St John's Wort and Passiflora - two highly effective herbs in therapeutic medicinal dosage.

MindSoothe contains two potent remedies in one treatment and offers immediate as well as long term relief to people suffering from depression, anxiety, insomnia, panic attacks, OCD and even those with eating disorders.

What others are saying about Mindsoothe Natural Remedy

"Thank you so much for your compassionate response in regard to the loss of my parents, the health problems of my brother and sister, and answering my questions about Mindsoothe and PureCalm. I honestly thought, at best, I would probably receive only a form letter promoting your product that might or might not help me find a herbal remedy to help me in my recent struggle with depression and OCD. I will never forget your kindness and I will be placing my order in the next few days. Respectfully and in warmest regards." - Randy D.

"Having suffered with anxiety and panic attacks on and off over the last twelve years, I became fed up taking Doctor prescribed drugs such as Temazapam,Diazapan etc and all the after affects these drugs came with. By chance I came across the Native Remedies website and decided to purchase three canisters of MindSoothe DEPRESSION CAPSULES. Within four days the tablets were working, by taking as advised, two in the morning and two at night, I felt more at ease,more confident and nowhere near as anxious as previously. On top of this I was and still am sleeping a lot better and the big advantage is that the tablets do not leave you feeling drowsy or sleepy. MindSoothe definitely works for me and I have tried all sorts of drugs and herbal remedies to counter my anxiety/depression,I will categorically recommend these tablets to anyone who has anxiety/depression. Without doubt I will be reordering when my supplies run out. Normality has returned!! Thanks." - A. Derrick, Devon, England

"I used to be so anxious about everything! Every time I had to go out I had a panic attack. I avoided people because I felt like they all thought I was stupid. All I could do was to talk to strangers online and pretend to be Mr. Confident! Talk about low self esteem! I started on a combination of MindSoothe and PureCalm. After a month, I began to feel more confident. I have made some real friends now and can go out at last. I still sometimes feel nervous, but it is getting better all the time. At least I can work on my problems now and not hide away all the time. I just know that I'm getting better now!" - Peter, single, 24 years old.

Go Ahead. Eat The Cheese.

2005-04-18T04:51:00.000-07:00

Constipation afflicts people without discrimination. Over the counter drugs are expensive and have side effects that I would rather not deal with. I'm a big dairy guy, myself. Theres no way in hell I'm giving up cheese. :P It's my favorite.

Herbalists and naturopaths from cultures all over the world have used herbs for centuries to promote regular bowel movements, purify the system and treat constipation.

However, even some herbs are not suitable for regular use due to their excessively strong purgative effects.

Fortunately Native Remedies has the answer!

Using herbs which are strong enough to treat even stubborn constipation, yet gentle enough not to cause unpleasant diarrhea and cramping, Native Remedies Natural Moves Tablets can be used for both chronic and occasional constipation, depending on the dosage used.

The herbs used in Natural Moves Tablets promote healthy digestion and also act as an effective liver tonic, therefore avoiding the risk of dependency and side effects associated with some other laxative products.

Testimonials

"It may seem silly to some, but I stress about constipation every day. Never a day goes by when I do not struggle to have a normal bowel movement! Natural Moves has helped to make me more regular and so I feel much more relaxed. I have tried many products, ranging from herbal to drugs, but this one works by far the best." Alley Cat, IL

"If you try any laxative product, try this one! I don't have a problem every day, but because I don't get much exercise and my diet is not always the very best, I do sometimes have a problem. Natural Moves really helps!" Hannah G.

"I have a history of eating disorders and made much use of OTC laxatives in the past. This has messed up my bowels big time! No matter how healthy I eat, I still have problems. This product has been a lifesaver for me!" NC.

"I have IBS and can sometimes become very constipated. Many products I have tried have caused the opposite problem as well as terrible cramps due to my extremely sensitive digestive system. Natural Moves seems to live up to its claims - it works, but does not cause me to have diarrhea or affect my sensitive stomach" Phil, NJ

Get away from the otc drugs and prescriptions. Nature (along with Native Remedies) already has a gentle answer for you.

Used as part of a wider, holistic lifestyle management, herbal and homeopathic medicines can bring significant relief to sufferers of asthma - without the side effects or other complications of the conventional drugs.

Triple Complex BronchoSoothe contains our amazing combination of biochemic tissue salts.

What do others think about Bronchosoothe Herbal Remedy

"I have used your products for asthma with great success. I notice that my attacks are less frequent and much milder. When I feel my chest tightening up I immediately suck four BronchoSoothe tablets every 10 minutes as prescribed and the symptoms disappear in no time. This is the most effective treatment I have used." DH, Florida

"I have been dependent on an inhaler for many years and have hardly needed it at all since starting with BronchoSoothe. I can't believe how quickly my chest relaxes and 99% of the time the asthma attack disappears. I can recommend BronchoSoothe with no hesitation" Jamie L.

"My son of 5 suffers from asthma and I wanted to thank you so much for recommending the BronchoSoothe. We have been very impressed at the way it works so quickly. He has not needed his inhaler at all in the past 3 1/2 months. After the success of BronchoSoothe I have ordered your BioVent Drops to use on a daily basis. We are very hopeful that using these two products together will help our son grow out of his asthma problem altogether. Thanks for a really good product!" Gillian B.

Native Remedies For Asthma!

2005-04-12T23:20:00.000-07:00

What is asthma?

One in 10 children and one in three adults suffer from chronic asthma.

An acute asthma attack is caused by inflammation in the airways of the lungs, causing contraction and narrowing of the airways (bronchioles), restricting airflow and making breathing very difficult.

Chronic asthma is a lung condition characterized by frequent asthma attacks and requiring medical management to prevent and minimize acute attacks.

This can take the form of conventional Western medicine, homeopathic or naturopathic treatment. While many asthma attacks are relatively mild and can be treated and controlled at home, some are more severe and may even require hospitalization.

Symptoms of asthma

> Tightness in the chest
> Characteristic 'wheezing' sound, especially when exhaling
> Shortness of breath
> Persistent cough, especially at night
> May have increased pulse, anxiety or fear

How is asthma usually treated?

Conventional Western medicine deals with asthma treatment via a combination of inhalers, anti-inflammatory medication, bronchodilators and even steroids.

While conventional medical treatment may sometimes be necessary, there are some definite limitations, including side effects, as well as negative effects on immune system functioning - thereby leading to more asthma attacks and reduced resistance to allergens.

While conventional medicine can sometimes control asthma, this is often a temporary measure only.

How can herbal and homeopathic remedies help?

Herbal and homeopathic asthma treatment can be extremely effective. Depending on the severity of the asthma, they can reduce or eliminate the need for the synthetic drugs and inhalers and can also be safely used to complement conventional treatment of asthma.

Used as part of a wider, holistic lifestyle management, herbal and homeopathic medicines can bring significant relief to sufferers of asthma - without the side effects or other complications of the conventional drugs.

What is BioVent?

Biovent asthma remedy is a unique combination of herbal and homeopathic ingredients to assist with the management of chronic asthma and the control and prevention of asthma attacks.

Used daily, it can improve respiratory functioning and health, reduce the incidence and severity of asthma attacks and strengthen the immune system.

Testimonials

"This is a magic formula, that's all I can say! Nothing has helped my five year old like this combination of Biovent and Bronchosoothe and I can tell you that I have been from doctor to doctor. He has suffered from asthma all his life and this is the first time he has gone for more than one month without an attack. I felt that I had to write and encourage other mothers to try the natural way like I have. Thanks so much!" Julia, NJ

"My daughter is 16 and she has always had asthma, especially when she becomes anxious. Anything can bring on an attack! She has asthma when she has to take a test, when she is asked out on a date, when her father phones, when she is worried about anything. I have found your combination most effective and fully believe in natural ways of health. I was particularly impressed that you have combined herbal and homeopathic ingredients so effectively - which I have not seen elsewhere. This means that there is a big saving for people like me who prefer the natural way but end up with dozens of little bottles of herbal and homeopathic medicine! This time just two do the trick!" Greta, UK

"I had pneumonia as a child and have suffered from chest complaints since then. Every year in winter I develop respiratory problems and have been on antibiotics more times than I care to count. The older I get, the worse it seems to become. This year I have been taking your BioVent Drops along with ImmunityPlus and feel compelled to write and tell you how much better I have felt this winter. Apart from one minor chest infection, which cleared up quickly, I have hardly been ill at all." Steve, NSW

Complete Program To Kick The Nicotine Habit

2005-04-10T18:34:00.000-07:00

Nicotine addiction is a serious dependency which requires a serious approach

Each time you try to stop smoking and fail, it becomes more difficult.

Physically your body builds up a resistance and psychologically you begin to see yourself as a failure - someone who cannot beat the addiction.

While some people can stop without assistance, they are in the minority. Most people need help and support.

Stop smoking in eight weeks and never smoke again!

"Compared to other addictions, smokers who want to quit receive less support and less sympathy than any other addicts. Yet nicotine addiction is one of the most difficult addictions to beat. I smoked from the age of 16 and 'quit' smoking many times, always to start again after a few months. Only with the help of natural remedies and lifestyle changes could I stop permanently. I haven't had a cigarette in 5 years. Follow the same steps as I did and you can do it too!" - Michele Carelse, Clinical Psychologist

The Stop Smoking Ultra-Pack consists of:

> Rx-Hale tablets - to prepare your body before beginning nicotine withdrawal
> Crave-Rx Drops to reduce craving, control appetite and prevent weight gain during withdrawal
> Triple Complex NicoTonic tablets to reduce side effects of nicotine withdrawal

How Does The Stop Smoking UltraPack differ from other approaches?

1. Designed by a qualified Clinical Psychologist and Ex-Smoker

2. Prepares your body physically for the nicotine withdrawal before you start

3. All herbal and homeopathic ingredients ensure maximum support and minimum harm

4. Unlike many Stop Smoking programs and OTC products, the Stop Smoking UltraPack includes NO NICOTINE PRODUCTS!

5. Comes at a fraction of the cost of other programs.

6. Total cost for two months supply costs you far less than the price of cigarettes for the same time at an average of 20 a day! After that you win all the way!

Nicotonic - Triple Complex Stop Smoking

2005-04-08T14:24:00.000-07:00

I have been smoking for as long as I can remember. Going on 15 years, now. There is nothing that I haven't tried to help me quit. Cold turkey, nicotine patches, nicotine gum and the list goes on.

I've been using Native Remedies for over a year now to help me concentrate. They have been impressive! So I think I am going to give their newest product, Nicotonic, a shot. I have nothing to lose (except a bad smoking habit).

What is Triple Complex NicoTonic?

Triple Complex NicoTonic assists in promoting the bio-availability of nutrients, hormones and bio-chemicals that are usually depleted by the stress of nicotine and drug withdrawal. Although it is very effective as a stand-alone product in any withdrawal program (not only nicotine), Triple Complex NicoTonic is best used together with Crave-Rx Nicotine withdrawal reducer and Rx-Hale stop smoking remedy.

Triple Complex NicoTonic contains Natrium Phosphate, Kalium Phosphate and Natrium Muriaticum as a treatment for the 'short fuse' syndrome so frequently associated with nicotine withdrawal. Regular use helps to prevent irritability, temper outbursts and restlessness and ensure a calmer and more successful path to a cigarette free life!

Testimonials

"I wanted to let you know that it has been four weeks and I still haven't had a cigarette! I have NEVER lasted more than three days. There have been up days and down days, but I have survived. I feel as determined as I did when I started and I am still determined that I never want to start smoking again. My body still craves and I get ratty as hell - but the NicoTonic tablets help tremendously with that and are my lifesaver! Thanks for a wonderful and healthy way to stop smoking!" BMH

"There is no way I would have stopped smoking without your products. Many previous attempts have proven this! Now I can happily say that this in not an attempt but a success story thanks to your natural stop smoking products. The NicoTonic tablets are so soothing and are just the right thing to pop into your mouth and suck whenever the craving gets too much. At first I practically lived on them, but now about 10 weeks later I only use them a few times a day. Yesterday I did not use them at all, but today I needed them again, but that is fine! As a 30 a day smoker, this program has saved me a fortune already!" Max, NY

"My husband has asked me to write in and thank you for the help and support you have given us while we both stopped smoking. On doctor's instructions we looked for a program and found so much more from Native Remedies. We have received nothing but wonderful support from everyone and the remedies have been amazingly effective. I can't say that there were no difficult moments, but we did it together. I will always remember the day we both wanted to tear each other's hair out and survived on handing each other the Nicotonic tablets to suck every time one of us threatened to blow a gasket! Thank you once again from both of us " Trevor and Molly, UK.

Stop Smoking Without Prescription Anti Depressants

2005-04-06T12:24:00.000-07:00

One of the most significant stumbling blocks in any attempt to stop smoking is the depression and moodiness usually associated with nicotine withdrawal.

Some Stop Smoking Programs recommend using prescription antidepressants before actually stopping cigarettes and continuing with these for a few months. This has proved successful in helping many people.

At Native Remedies, however, we believe in promoting systemic health and recommend that synthetic drugs be avoided unless absolutely necessary and if there is no other alternative.

While they can help, synthetic anti-depressants can also cause side effects that make the nicotine withdrawal more difficult and may even cause you to begin smoking again.

People who are trying to stop smoking care about their health and many feel that using a synthetic drug does not fit with this philosophy. In addition, the synthetic anti-depressants are expensive and need a doctor's prescription.

Fortunately, nature has excellent alternatives to the synthetic anti-depressants.

Rx-Hale Tablets contain a unique combination of herbal and mineral ingredients to assist with the management of depression and mood swings.

This means that you will feel a sense of well-being and confidence before you even start!

Rx-Hale tablets contain therapeutic doses of Hypericum and Scuttelaria laterifolia, two herbs well known for their beneficial effects on mood and nervous system health.

While Hypericum helps to balance serotonin levels in the brain and ensure the healthy functioning of the entire nervous system, Scuttelaria acts as a nervous system tonic and also prevents the insomnia and headaches usually associated with nicotine withdrawal.

Backed by clinical research, both herbs have been shown to be extremely effective in the treatment of depression and anxiety.

Along with these two very beneficial herbs, Rx-Hale tablets also include Chromium Picolinate, one of the most easily absorbed forms of chromium.

Chromium is a naturally occurring trace mineral which helps the body to break down protein and fat.

It is also known to assist with the efficient use of insulin, thereby helping the body to maintain normal blood sugar levels and prevent the sugar craving often associated with nicotine withdrawal.

It is also well known that low blood sugar levels (hypoglycemia) can cause irritability, which can make it more difficult to resist having a cigarette.

Taken during the month before you stop smoking and continued for a few months until the worst is over, Rx-Hale Tablets ensure that your efforts to stop smoking are not foiled by depression, mood swings and sugar cravings.

Taking the tablets every day during the 30 days before you stop also prepares you psychologically for nicotine withdrawal and ensures that you begin the process feeling strong and ready to face the challenges ahead of you!

How have Rx-Hale Tablets helped others?

"As you asked us to write in and tell you how it went, I wanted to share with you that I have not smoked for 9 weeks now. Using the Rx-Hale tablets for the first month before I stopped really helped to prepare me. When the day came I was ready and felt very confident. Like you said it was not easy and I am grateful that you said that because I expected to struggle, but this time my struggles paid off - unlike other attempts. My worst enemy when I tried before was my mood swings which ALWAYS took me back to the cigarettes! I found that sucking the NicoTonic tablets was so soothing and really helped me to calm down. Where I am now, the craving is much better and I think the addiction is gone. Now I don't crave cigarettes but I still MISS them!!! I know I have a long road ahead of me, but this is the first time I feel like I will succeed. I still feel confident and so much healthier and I want to recommend your products and the program to ANYONE who wants to seriously stop smoking." Monica Ann.

"The idea of preparing yourself for the battle ahead is very good. Every day when I swallowed those tablets I was conscious of what I was doing. I counted down the days and prepared myself. By the time the big day came, I felt really really ready and very confident. This has helped me so much. Thank you!" Patrick G.

"It is by now means easy to quit smoking and I have tried many times before. This time I have not smoked for three months and I really feel that it is due to the fact that I felt ready for it before I started to quit. Using the tablets for a month before was such a big help that I even felt excited about the day when I would stop and could hardly wait - can you believe that! What was also great was the NicoTonic - just popping some tablets under my tongue when I felt ratty was so soothing! " Dylan V

Dump the Nicotine Patches for Natural Stop Smoking

2005-04-04T07:57:00.000-07:00

Nicotine patches, sprays and gum are a major part of most commercial stop smoking programs. Apart from the enormous cost to your pocket, using nicotine products to stop smoking also has a health cost.

Nicotine is a poison and is the reason why smokers are at risk for a wide range of illnesses, some of them fatal. Most people stop smoking to reduce these health risks caused by regular use of nicotine.

We believe that there is little sense in hanging on to the nicotine while trying to stop smoking. This only increases your health risk and keeps you addicted to nicotine.

Using nicotine products can certainly help to reduce the craving and severe withdrawal symptoms you feel when you try and stop smoking! However this is only because your body is getting the nicotine in a different form.

Crave-Rx Drops can help to control the craving without the nicotine!

Fortunately nature has the answer! Addiction is not a new phenomenon and human beings have become addicted to various substances throughout the ages.

Herbalists, naturopaths and healers from traditional medicine have great experience in helping people to overcome addiction with the use of herbs.

Opium dependency, one of the most difficult addictions to beat, has been successfully treated in Ayurvedic (Indian) medicine for hundreds of years.

Recently medical science has confirmed that many of the herbs used to treat addiction in traditional medicine are effective in helping to control and prevent a wide range of symptoms as well as the craving associated with withdrawal from substances like nicotine and other drugs.

What are Crave-Rx Drops and how do they work?

Crave-Rx is a 100% natural product especially designed by Clinical Psychologist, Michele Carelse, as part of the Stop Smoking UltraPack

An ex-smoker herself, Michele tried many times to stop smoking and understands how nicotine craving can override your desire to stop smoking and drive you back to the cigarettes.

No matter how determined you are to kick the habit, the physical craving experienced in the first few weeks of nicotine withdrawal can drive your body to smoke again.

Crave-Rx Drops contain a unique combination of selected herbal ingredients which have been clinically proven to reduce the craving for nicotine due to their balancingeffect on the brain chemicals known to be associated with addiction.

Crave-Rx Drops also contain herbs which will help to prevent the sugar cravings and compensatory overeating which often cause people to go back to cigarettes due to unwanted weight gain.

Now you can safely stop smoking without gaining weight.

Testimonials

"Crave-Rx really works! As a veteran smoker and aspirant quitter I was constantly on some program or other to help me to kick the habit. Needless to say that my family had come to believe that I would never succeed. By nature I do not like to give up and so I kept trying, encouraged by my doctor who put me on one program after the other due to the terrible effect the cigarettes were having on my health. All of them contained nicotine in some form - tablets, sprays, gum, gel, patches, you name it! They all helped a bit, but as soon as I started to cut back on the products, I began to smoke again. When I read about your program and the fact that it contained no nicotine products I was prepared to give it a try, which was a good decision on my part as even my doctor was skeptical! I have not looked back and after 14 weeks I am using Crave-Rx only a few times a week. At first it was my lifesaver and I went everywhere with the bottle! Now I am using the drops less and less and can even go a whole day without once thinking of cigarettes. For a guy who smoked more than 20 a day for 15 years, I would say that is very impressive! I will continue to use the Rx-Hale tablets every day for a few more months as recommended. Thank you Native Remedies! " Mike G.

"I can highly recommend Crave Rx Drops along with the No More Smoking program offered by Native Remedies. No other product has been so successful for me and believe me I have tried them all! To all the many smokers out there who are desperate to give up smoking, I want to say YOU CAN DO IT with the help of Native Remedies and Crave Rx drops! I am the living proof and my children are over the moon with me for giving up cigarettes. My son says that now he can look forward to having children one day because they will have a healthy grandmother who doesn't smoke. Thank you for giving me back my health!" Gerri.

Eczema can be a real hassle

2005-04-01T22:42:00.000-08:00

What is Eczema?

Eczema is an inflammation of the skin and may be associated with an allergic reaction, although the cause is often unknown. Childhood eczema is sometimes found behind the knee or in the bend of an elbow and will often clear up by the time the child reaches puberty.

Eczema affects more than 15 million Americans and ten percent of all children have eczema.

The most common of all eczemas is Atopic and has been linked with asthma and hay fever. People of all ages can be affected, but there seems to be a trend for it within some families.

A common symptom is itchiness that can become very uncomfortable. The skin has an overall dryness, can become very red, and highly inflamed. Persistent scratching only worsens the condition and can cause skin infections.

If infected, the skin can weep and have cracks in it. Skin hydration must be maintained. Eczema Cream can be used for both skin hydration and to reduce inflammation.

The Allergic Contact Eczema results when the body has a reaction to a skin contact with a substance that the immune system finds unacceptable. The reaction may be immediate, or can develop over an extended period of time. Some of the typical substances are nickel, perfumes, cloth, rubber, and tin. Some of the offending substances may be found of the commonest of items, such as rings, buckles, the buttons on clothes, watches, and other jewelry.

Irritant Contact Eczema is caused by contact with substance that could be encountered daily, such as soaps, certain chemicals, and detergents. Hairdressers and beauticians often find themselves with rashes and inflamed skin. As with atopic eczema, keeping the skin moist can help in preventing an outbreak. Herbal products, unlike remedies containing drugs, can be used often during the day without any adverse side affects.

Infantile Seborrhoeic Eczema can be very common for children under 1 year of age. The reason for this condition, also called cradle cap is not fully understood. While it is not considered to be serious and causes the baby no unwell feelings, it can be treated with herbal products to help clear the condition. It usually lasts only a few months.

AdultSeborrhoeic Eczema can be more serious than the infant version. It can be found in the scalp and can spread to the face, ears, neck, and chest. The skin becomes inflamed, red, and can flake. Using a product, like Eczema Cream, that can hydrate the skin while also protecting again infections should offer quick relief for this eczema.

Varicose Eczema is a condition found in the lower leg. People in their middle to late years are found most likely to encounter this eczema. Poor circulation is suspected. The ankles are most often affected and if the skin is left untreated, ulcers can develop. Typical treatment is an emollient, especially one that can improved the general health of the skin.

Discoid Eczema most often is an adult condition. It appears as a small, coin shaped redness of the skin. Most often it is found on the trunk or lower legs. These can erupt or weep. Emollients are a usual treatment, but care should be taken that the skin does not become infected.

How can Eczema Cream help?

Regular use of Eczema Cream will:

* Reduce redness and dry skin
* Relieve discomfort and itching
* Prevent infection
* Reduce scarring

It is recommended that Eczema Cream be used together with a course of Immunity Plus to strengthen the immune system and help prevent further outbreaks of Eczema in the future.

What are people saying about Eczema Cream?

"My child is four years old and has suffered from eczema almost all his life. He is always miserable and itchy and I really believe that the eczema is affecting his self confidence and development because he is unhappy all the time. Your Eczema cream really helped to soothe the redness and take away the itchiness. At least he is sleeping at night without waking up and he cries much less now." Sylvia, 34 years old.

"I used to have bad eczema as a child but it cleared up nicely. Now I only get it when I am stressed or when my skin comes into contact with some cleaning chemicals. When it flares up I use your eczema cream straight away and it soon goes away - thank you for making a product that works!" Henry, 29 years old

Water - How it Affects Aging

2005-03-31T04:34:00.000-08:00

How many times have your heard – drink eight to ten glasses of water everyday? How often do we actually drink that much pure water?

Would you believe that as you are reading this page you are dehydrating? We were all born as grapes, but now we are turning into raisins.

Your body was once more than 70% water and now, if you’re like most Americans past the age of 40, you are lucky to have a hydration level above 60%. The bodies of most hospitalized elderly are less than 50% water.

Hypertension? Proven remedy that can help.

2005-03-29T10:34:00.000-08:00

What is hypertension?

Hypertension, or High Blood Pressure, can be defined as the force that the blood exerts on the veins and arteries while it circulates around the body.

Blood pressure is controlled by a variety of organs and body systems, including the heart, the blood vessels, the kidneys, the brain and the adrenal glands, as well as the complex interaction between the body systems.

We measure blood pressure by using two different numbers - systolic pressure (the top number) over diastolic pressure (the bottom number). Systolic pressure measures blood pressure as the heart contracts and pushes blood through the arteries. Diastolic pressure is taken when the heart relaxes.

Normal blood pressure is around 120/80 or lower. It is important to note that blood pressure varies from person to person and can fluctuate from moment to moment. One or two high readings does not necessarily mean that you have hypertension or high blood pressure.

If your blood pressure has measured 140/90 or higher on at least two separate occasions, your doctor should recommend a 24 hour BP (blood pressure) monitor, which will show whether your BP remains chronically high. This will help to measure whether you have hypertension or high blood pressure.

What about natural remedies?

There are many well known natural remedies for high blood pressure or hypertension.

Conventional medicines usually treat the symptoms of high blood pressure, but seldom address the underlying causes.

Naturopaths recognize that high blood pressure may be a sign or symptom of imbalance in the body and know that the best way to treat it is by a combination of lifestyle changes and natural remedies to remove the causes of the high blood pressure, rather than simply treating the symptoms.

What is High-Rite?

High-Rite comes in capsule form and contains herbs which have been carefully selected to balance and regulate blood pressure and also to address some of the contributory factors which may be causing it.

While some of the ingredients in High-Rite specifically target blood vessels which have become constricted, others improve the heart's ability to pump blood effectively, while also treating and preventing plaque build up in the arteries.

In addition to these properties, High-Rite also helps to reduce stress and boost the body's ability to fight illness. Each herb is in therapeutic dosage for maximum effect.

What do others think about Native Remedies?

"Your High Rite herbal remedy has meant that my prescription medicine has been cut in half - after only 10 weeks! My doctor is just as pleased as I am, thank you so much" Douglas, PE.

"Finally a product that works! My blood pressure is completely under control. Why don't the doctors prescribe these products?" Harold M.

"I developed high blood pressure during my menopause. My doctor recommended that I use prescription drugs but this has never been my style. He wasn't very pleased when I said I was going to research natural alternatives, but has had to eat his words because all his dire predictions did not come true! After my recent check up, he could not believe that my blood pressure was normal again! I can recommend these products without reservation. " Hilary

Sleep Problems In Children - A Natural Cure!

2005-03-27T16:51:00.000-08:00

What causes sleep problems in children?

We all struggle to sleep sometimes and children are no exception. Sometimes sleep problems become chronic and a pattern of insomnia sets in.

This can cause much frustration for children and their parents and can even result in relationship difficulties if the problem is not addressed.

If you find yourself struggling to put your child to sleep night after night, then it is important to do something about it.

Here are some of the main causes of insomnia in children and babies:

> Teething
> Lack of routine and bedtime ritual
> Childhood depression or trauma
> Family problems
> Intestinal worms
> Diet high in sugar and stimulants like coffee and tea

How can Serenite Jr. help?

Serenite Jr. is a safe and effective herbal remedy specially formulated by a Clinical Psychologist to calm and relax young children and induce a state of drowsiness.

Serenite Jr. can safely be used by all children and babies over the age of 6 months.

The formula combines Chamaemelium nobile (Roman chamomile) and Pelargonium graveolens (scented geranium)in therapeutic strength to ensure both maximum effectiveness and safety.

Serenite Jr. is gentle and non-addictive and will not drug your child. Together with consistent discipline, a regular routine and night time ritual and a loving home environment, Serenite Jr. can help to break poor and irregular sleep patterns and restore peace to your home.

What makes Serenite Jr. different?

As a parent, you will know that sleep remedies especially formulated for children are few and far between. In desperation many parents resort to using pain killers, cough medicines, antihistamines and other over the counter medicines.

This is very bad for children and can seriously affect their health. These medicines have not been designed to use as sleep aids for children and regular use can result in addiction, nightmares and chronic insomnia.

Doctors sometimes prescribe scheduled drugs for children to help them sleep. Once again, these drugs can result in addiction and do not solve the problem in the long term. Side effects are common and children are often very drowsy in the morning.

Serenite Jr. is different because it is formulated by a practicing Clinical Psychologist especially for children and uses herbs in a natural formula which is safe and effective.

Other peoples thoughts on Serenite Jr. Sleep Aid:

"Thank you so very much for your wonderful products! You truly have been a blessing to our family!" - Kathryn R.

"My daughter is 5 years old and has been having nightmares - she is afraid to go to sleep. I got so desperate I am ashamed to say that I even gave her a big dose of cough medicine and paracetamol to try and get some peace (which I will never do again) Thank you for a wonderful product that has really worked. Even the nightmares have gone!" - Jill, Pinetown

"We have struggled to get our twins to sleep ever since they were born and have always been reluctant to use anything that might harm their health. We tried Serenite Jr. on a friend's recommendation and have been very impressed from the very first day. Peace reigns in our house in the evenings once again!!!" Bill and Karen McGregor, Cape Town

"I am very happy to be able to recommend Serenite Jr. to any parent. It is very effective and has helped to settle my daughter at night without the usual fuss and struggle that used to go on for hours. It is great to have a natural product that works so well without causing any harm." - Sara, Edgemead

It's alarming how many children are on anti depressants!

2005-03-25T18:58:00.000-08:00

"Many doctors and psychiatrists prescribe synthetic anti-depressants for children with depression or other developmental disorders.

While these medications certainly do have their place, it is my experience that they are significantlyover prescribed, without first investigating more natural and equally effective alternatives.

It is alarming to see how many children are on a cocktail of prescription scheduled anti-depressants and psycho-stimulants. Often the drugs cause more complications than the original problem itself.

The use of strong scheduled drugs for children also often replaces proper assessment and the use of a complete and thorough treatment program for the child and the family" - Michele Carelse, Clinical Psychologist.

Childhood Depression is not always as easily diagnosed as adult depression and can be masked. Children who are depressed do not always look sad and 'down' all the time, but may have other persistent symptoms that indicate that there is a problem.

If you suspect that your child may be suffering from depression, it is always best to consult a psychologist for diagnosis and to determine the underlying causes of the depression. Children and especially teenagers who talk about suicide should always be taken seriously.

While this is sometimes a way to get attention or may be something the child learned about at school, it could be serious and it is always better to be safe and have your child properly assessed.

Never discontinue prescription medication without first consulting your doctor or a health care professional who is experienced in natural medicine.

What is MindSoothe Jr.?

Because of the increasing demand for a safe, natural herbal treatment for children with depression, anxiety, OCD, or those with Autism and related disorders, Native Remedies has developed MindSoothe Jr. Using the same highly successful formula as MindSoothe (adult version), MindSoothe Jr. contains St John's Wort and Passiflora in child-friendly dosage.

What do other people think about Mindsoothe Jr.

"Thank you for your reply....we have a very long and complex story behind our seven yr. old - the short of it is that in just 24 hrs, we noticed a very positive change in him from both of these products. Unbelievable to both my husband and myself. At this point, in the very initial stages of the products' use, I cannot even begin to explain how pleased we are with the results - you have NO IDEA from whence we came! Thank you more than you'll ever know." - Rebecca G.

"My son has ADHD. - he always struggled to complete his work and I think that he became depressed because he was always in trouble. We started him on your Focus remedy which helped but he was still very angry and irritable with everyone. MindSoothe Jr. took away the irritability from Day One and he is now doing very well at school and at home" Malcolm, Durban

"I have a child with autism and the doctors recommended that I put him on prescription anti-depressants. One recommended wellbutrin and the other said that paxil would work, but I am not in favor because my child is only 6 years old. We have used the MindSoothe Jr. for a few weeks and I just wanted to inform you that he is much less restless and seems calmer than before, making it easier for me and my wife. I also notice that he does not flap his hands around so much and he used to pick at his skin which is much less now too - only when he is very tired." - Danny, CT

How does MindSoothe Jr. work and what are the ingredients?

The ingredients in MindSoothe Jr. are well researched and have been shown to be effective in the treatment of depression and anxiety. Both are very well respected naturopathic herbs and have been safely used for centuries.

Depression is often associated with an imbalance in certain neurotransmitters in the brain, especially serotonin. This is often caused by stress, but may also be hereditary or linked to disorders like autism or other developmental disorders.

St John's Wort, one of the principle ingredients in MindSoothe Jr. is widely used as a treatment for depression and other disorders associated with serotonin imbalance. It has been well researched and many clinical studies have demonstrated that it can be highly effective in the treatment of depression and other mood disorders.

Passiflora has been extensively used by naturopaths as a calmative and to reduce irritability, restlessness and anxiety. It acts as a natural tranquilizer, without further aggravating the symptoms of depression, which can happen with the use of some herbs like Valerian.

The proportion of St John's Wort and Passiflora in the remedy has been carefully calculated to ensure therapeutic dosage and maximum effectiveness.

Natural headache remedy

2005-03-23T06:25:00.000-08:00

Tanecetum parthenium (Feverfew) is a well-known medicinal herb and one of the most widely respected in the prophylactic (preventative) treatment of migraine and chronic headache. There are many clinical studies to support its effectiveness in significantly reducing or completely eliminating the occurrence and the severity of chronic headache and migraine.

Silybum marianus (Milk Thistle) is regarded as one of the most important herbal liver tonics and restoratives. As is the case with Feverfew, medical use of Milk Thistle may be traced back more than 2000 years.

Passiflora incarnata is a tropical herb which has been used since the 19th century for nervous conditions. Modern research supports traditional usage and clinical trials have demonstrated the relaxing and anti-anxiety effects of Passiflora. Passiflora is often recommended to treat anxiety and reduce tension and is also very useful in reducing the withdrawal symptoms of recovering drug addicts and alcoholics.

Testimonials

"My headaches are linked to stress and I usually have a few headaches every week, with one really big one once or twice a month. I had all sorts of tests but they could find nothing wrong with me. My doctor suggested that i take medication, which i did not want to do, so I tried MiGone capsules. After two weeks the headaches became less and less frequent and I have only had one headache in the past 6 weeks. I really can't see why doctors don't recommend MiGone instead of harmful drugs! Thanks for your help!" - Melinda, USA

"I have recently used your Natural products for severe headache/migraine. For many months I have been trying various drugs etc, and have in fact been refered to a specialist because of the lack of relief I have received from these drugs. I decided to ship to England your products, I have combined the MiGone Plus with PureCalm and have received an amazing relief from my problems. I have used the products for three weeks and they have changed the quality of my life completely. I wholeheartedly endorse these products, and have become an Affiliate of this company. Thank you NativeRemedies.com" - David, USA

MiGone Plus does more than just remove pain.

Prescription painkillers and synthetic drugs used to treat migraine and chronic headache may reduce the pain associated with these conditions, but do not address the causes.

This means that the person must continue to suffer and be dependent on the use of painkillers. The 'rebound effect' of many painkillers is well-known but seldom discussed in medical circles.

In essence, the 'rebound effect' means that continued use of some synthetic painkillers can be the cause of future headaches, making the person dependent on the drug indefinitely.

The chemicals in synthetic drugs can also accumulate in the liver, reducing liver functioning and overall health.

Do you have trouble with focus and concentration?

2005-03-21T09:11:00.000-08:00

Do you have trouble:

-Focusing on the task at hand and concentration?
-With your attention span?
-With your memory?
-With low energy levels?
-With your distractability?

There is a good possibility you have Adult ADD or ADHD. For a long time I thought Attention Deficit Hyperactive disorder was a condition found only in children. Boy was I wrong.

ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder) is a diagnosed disorder which affects concentration, attention span and the ability to focus on the task at hand.

ADHD (Attention Deficit Disorder with Hyperactivity) is usually much easier to identify. Apart from their difficulties with concentration and memory, children and adults with ADHD often have associated behavioral problems in class, at home and in the workplace, due to their impulsive behavior and hyperactivity. (For safe and effective treatment for ADHD, see Focus ADHD Formula.)

Children and adults with ADD (without hyperactivity) often go unhelped and undiagnosed. They may be very intelligent people, but because of their concentration and memory problems they perform poorly at school or college and seldom reach their full potential.

They often feel listless and can lack motivation and energy because of their constant struggle to concentrate and focus on their work. Sometimes they can even develop depression, because of their inability to achieve and negative feedback from those around them.

Children and adults with ADD are often unfairly called 'stupid', 'dumb', 'lazy' and other hurtful names, when all they need is some help and understanding.

How does Focus ADDult for Adult ADD work?

Adults and teens who suffer from ADD have previously had to resort to prescription psycho-stimulant drugs with their dangers of addiction and side effects.

Michele Carelse, our Clinical Psychologist, has many years of experience with both adults and children who struggle with the symptoms of ADD and ADHD.

Recognizing the growing need for a safe and natural alternative for adults and teens with ADD, Michele has formulated Focus ADDult for Adult ADD, using a specially selected therapeutic blend of herbs from around the world, specifically to address the symptoms of Adult ADD.

Testimonials

"I found your web site just by searching & ordered focus ADDult, I have been taking it every day. Am I imagining things or am I more alert & focused these days? I seem to have more energy; my paper work is all up to date, what's happening? I seem to have a clear head !" - Amanda, Suffolk, UK

"Great Product!!! I'm off Strattera after only 2 weeks, and this works even better!" - Shelley, TX, USA.

"I was diagnosed by the college psychologist with adult ADD three weeks ago. I have been taking 5mg. of Adderall three times a day and then increased to 10mg twice a day and a 5mg tablet as my third dose. I ordered the Adult focus and have been taking it in half doses with the Adderall and have noticed an even clearer outlook and better concentration, and this has just been 4 days." - Kathleen H, USA

How long until I see results?

Focus ADDult contains three highly effective tonic herbs in concentrated medicinal extract. It is important that it be taken regularly in order to enhance the overall tonic effect.

While some people show a more immediate effect, you can expect to notice a difference in energy levels and mental clarity from about the third week of use.

Concentration, focus and memory should improve and this improvement should increase over time and with continued use.

You will notice that you can think more clearly and in a more focused way. Students and scholars should notice an increased concentration span and the ability to study effectively for longer periods of time.

What is Reflexology

2005-03-19T08:16:00.000-08:00

What Is Reflexology?

Reflexology is the science or method of stimulating reflexes of the foot, hand or ear that correspond to each gland, organ and part of the body. Stimulation of these reflexes serves to relax and normalize all functions of the body in order to promote a natural balance and revitalization. In ancient times, walking barefoot over rocks and hard ground naturally stimulated these reflexes every day.

By applying pressure on specific areas of the feet or hands, a reflexologist can stimulate corresponding organs or glands. For instance, pressure is applied to the big toe to affect the pituitary gland and the four other toes are stimulated to affect to the brain, sinuses, eyes and ears. Because internal organs like the lungs and the kidneys can not be directly massaged, reflexologists believe that the feet, hands, and ears are an appropriate alternative.

Does Reflexology cure diseases or ailments?

Reflexology is not intended to cure diseases or ailments. Reflexologists are not medical practitioners and are not allowed to diagnose ailments or treat disease. Reflexology can be a valuable way of indicating areas where higher stress or tension is present in the body and can assist to relieve that stress or tension which can promote or encourage the natural healing process.

Losing Weight and Staying Healthy

2005-03-17T11:47:00.000-08:00

Do you struggle to lose weight?
Are you always on some sort of diet?
Do you suffer from low self esteem?
Do you need help to reach your target weight?
Do you need completely safe and natural help to reach your target weight?

There are many excellent weight loss programs out there. Yet the more that people try and eat sensibly and lose weight, the less they succeed. After many years of eating incorrectly and leading sedentary lifestyles, most of us are unfit and overweight. Obesity can be seen as an illness that affects men and women alike and which is especially prevalent in the Western World.

This is not just a cosmetic issue. Of course you want to look good in your clothes! Of course you would rather be slim than overweight! Self esteem plays an important part in our ability to achieve our potential, and body image is closely linked to feeling good about ourselves. But, maintaining a slim and fit body is important not only for self esteem - it is also of vital importance in our overall health and quality of life.

Research has linked obesity and incorrect eating patterns to a number of life threatening illnesses including hypertension, heart disease, cancer, diabetes, respiratory illnesses, chronic depression and many others. Eating correctly and exercising regularly are two of the most important things that one can do to lead a long and healthy life and help to prevent illness.

"My problem was always that I couldn't stick to any diet. First two or three days all went well - then somehow I always dropped out. The Detox and WeightLoss program is short enough to stick with and long enough to really work! This is the first diet I have ever completed in my life and by the way, I lost 6 pounds and I feel great" - Greta, USA

"Thank you very much Michele and Native Remedies! To anyone who is thinking of trying this diet - I can really recommend it very highly. It is not too difficult and the support is wonderful." - David, 46 years old.

Homeopathic online counseling is cheaper by far.

2005-03-14T15:59:00.000-08:00

Michele Carelese is a Clinical Psychologist who has been working with natural remedies for years! Online Counseling is especially designed for clients who need directive counseling and support or concrete and constructive guidance in any area of their lives, including relationships, parenting, marital difficulties, divorce, depression, anxiety, sexual health or any other problem that concerns them.

You can ask about anything that concerns you! No subject is taboo and online counseling is a perfect place to seek advice about confidential and private concerns that are difficult to talk about face to face.

Some people do not have questions, but need to talk to a professional and understanding person in order to help them with feelings of depression, loneliness, grief, anxiety, low self esteem, etc. Other people need help recovering from broken relationships or assistance with marital problems.

Many parents also find online counseling very useful to help them with parenting concerns like discipline, shy children, ADHD, how to help children through divorce and many other concerns regarding parenting.

Helen, USA - 'I have seen several different types of counselors over the years and no one was ever able to help me as much as Michele. I feel that on line counseling is the best way to go, at least for me. With Michele, I felt that she was only an email away to give me support and advice. I was able to express my feelings and concerns 24 hours a day. I didn't have to wait for an appointment and then try and squeeze everything I needed to say in an hour. Michele has given me strength and peace within myself. I am almost sorry that I am well because I miss our conversations.'

Online counseling is also a perfect medium to work on addictions, including addictions to the internet itself and to online porn sites.

Why is it important to cleanse your body?

2005-03-12T01:49:00.000-08:00

Why do we need to detoxify and cleanse our bodies?

21st Century life brings with it stress, environmental pollution, unhealthy diets and fast foods. Illnesses like cancer, heart disease, arthritis and other lifestyle conditions are becoming more frequent.

Despite plentiful food supplies and excellent medical facilities, many people in the Western world do not really know what it is like to feel truly healthy, full of energy and bounce.

Modern farming methods are often more geared to producing food which is 'bigger and better' - rather than food which is healthy and life sustaining.

Even so-called 'healthy food' is full of artificial hormones, insecticides and other chemicals, which destroy the vitamins and essential nutrition of the food we eat.

Research has shown that environmental pollution enters the blood stream via food, water supply and the atmosphere and causes levels of toxins to build up in the body. These toxins affect body functioning, especially the functioning of the liver.

The liver is the second largest organ in the body and is often seen as the most important one. In traditional Chinese medicine, for example, a healthy liver is seen as the most critical element in the body's ability to fight disease and function optimally.

Amongst other important functions, the liver is responsible for eliminating and detoxifying the poisons that enter our blood stream. It also produces bile which is essential in the breakdown of fats and is the organ which stores Vitamin A, D, E and K.

Environmental pollution, fast foods, drugs, alcohol and sedentary lifestyles all contribute to sluggish and diseased livers.

The result? Depressed immune systems, constant fatigue, obesity, sluggish livers and digestive systems, allergies, respiratory ailments, unhealthy skin and many other health problems.

My kids tantrums are driving me crazy!

2005-03-09T01:33:00.000-08:00

"In my family children usually behave or else. We have all grown up like that. You can believe me when I say my five yr old was like a monster in my house! My own mother said that I must be doing a bad job, I even cried a few times! This medicine is very good and my son is listening now when we speak for a change. I thank you from the bottom of my very heart!!!" - Helen K., USA

"Let me tell you that shopping was a nightmare before I gave my son Tantrum Tamer! If I could avoid taking him with me I would and I would always end up spanking him which I know is wrong, but I tried everything! He takes his Tantrum Tamer every day and he is much calmer and he does not lose his temper so much or hardly ever in fact!" Thank you! - Betty, USA

When should I treat tantrums?

Some tantrums in early childhood are normal and even healthy ways that your child uses to establish independence. Properly handled, they should not be a cause for concern. Some children, however, seem to have a very low tolerance for frustration and often resort to yelling and kicking in order to express their feelings and get what they want.

How can Tantrum Tamer help?

Tantrum Tamer is a safe and soothing homeopathic remedy specially formulated by a Clinical Psychologist to calm angry and oppositional children, and help them to more easily use their developing reasoning skills. This remedy is especially effective in children from 3 - 10 years old. Together with consistent discipline, firm guidelines and a loving home environment, regular use of Tantrum Tamer can help your child to overcome the storms of excessive tantrums and bring peace to your household!

"Dear Michelle, I have given my son the Kiddie calmer and BrightSpark and have seen a great difference. His marks have improved overall from his first report to his second report. He actually said to me that he can concentrate better. Just to give you an idea, the school he attends has a marking system of 1 to 5 on the report cards, meaning 1 = is excellent; 2 = is good 3 = is fine/average; 4 = is weak/needs attention and 5 = is very weak/failure. On his first report card he received on his developmental scores (which is broken into may categories like fine, gross, audio, visual etc,) only on 2, some 3's and quite a few 4's and was quite shy still, did isolate himself sometimes from the class and could not grasp the rules of the phonics. On his second report card he did not get a single 4 only mainly 2's and some 3's had improved with his selfconfidence and now new the rules of the phonics. Now isn't this fantastic. He still needs work on his self-esteem but my mom has also noticed and improvement. He has had a speech assessment and the therapist concluded that he needs some help to improve his expressive language. As you know he has been diagnosed with sensible integration dysfunction, he is receiving occupational therapy for this. He has shown an improvement with his tactile defensiveness but whilst the schools were out for a 3 week holiday recently and I was not giving him the BrightSpark and Kiddie calmer, I certainly noticed that he had become more tactile again, crying and becoming upset with children (and his brother) irritating him (as he calls it). I am so grateful for your product and have told my friends about it, hopefully they will give it a try. Kindest Regards and thank you for your dedication to thousand of people who have similar problems. SM (Johannesburg)"

Maybe this is why your baby can't sleep and cries all the time!

2005-03-04T19:27:00.000-08:00

What is Colic?

Babies between the ages of 0 - 6 months often develop colic. This could be due to wind or other digestive problems or even the incorrect formula. Signs of colic include persistent fretfulness and crying (especially after feeds), and baby may become red in the face and pull up his legs to relieve the pain in his stomach. Colic may become worse when baby is lying down and symptoms can improve if he is walked around. It may also help to lie him over your lap on his tummy and rub his back. Be sure to wind baby properly after feeds.

How can ibaba help?

iBaba (which means "Baby") is a specially formulated homeopathic remedy which is gentle and effective and safe for use by even newborn infants. It will soothe your baby's stomach, help to relieve wind and reduce fretfulness, helping your baby (and you!) to have a good night's sleep.

After two weeks of taking Be-Dry he stopped wetting his bed although we would still wake him up at night to go to the bathroom. Now it is three months later. he doesn't take the Be-Dry anymore and we don't wake him up at night - but no wet beds! What a great product!" - Pat l., USA

Screw the caffeine. Lose weight naturally!

2005-02-28T15:35:00.000-08:00

Modern living often means a diet of fast foods and quick energy needs. This can lead to obesity and many people are overweight due to inactivity and years of eating the incorrect foods. Comfort eating, or eating to fulfill emotional needs is another important cause of weight problems.

While fashion dictates that we need to be slim and attractive, many women embark on a series of yo-yo diets or even purging in order to lose weight and conform to society's vision of beauty.

This may lead to short-term weight loss, but in the long run it disturbs the metabolism and makes the weight more and more difficult to lose.

Isn't it strange that so many people are always dieting, yet the numbers of obese and overweight people are rising every year? Years of dieting have even been shown to cause slow metabolism which can lead to weight gain.

Native Remedies has recognized this problem and, together with a leading Clinical Psychologist, has formulated a healthy herbal supplement which can boost metabolism, improve liver and digestive functioning and help you to get those pounds off without harming your health!

Used as part of a healthy eating plan and a regular exercise program, EcoSlim can help you to lose weight and keep it off forever, leaving you feeling slim and full of vitality!

"I usually don't write in but I really felt that I wanted to tell you that EcoSlim did everything it promised to do. I usually exercise twice a week and am not a big eater, but I just couldn't loose weight, especially in my thighs and hips. I did your 5 day detox program and then carried on as I normally do. Since then I have lost 6 pounds without any effort. There is much less cellulite too." - Tabitha, USA.

Sleep the natural way.

2005-02-24T12:27:00.000-08:00

"If there is anyone out there that is suffering from insomnia like I have been for years, I'd like to help them. Please read this. I've never been a very good sleeper. For the past 2 years, I have been going through a very stressful time in my life, which has affected my sleeping problems even more than before. A year and a half ago, my Dr. prescribed Ambien to help me sleep. It helped me sleep, but also created more complications for me .I couldn't get out of bed in the morning, and when I finally did, I felt so groggy, I had no energy or focus, throughout the whole day, everyday. I was convinced that nothing could help, nothing would help. I tried everything. I came across Native Remedies website and saw they offered Serenite, an all natural sleeping aid. I thought I'd try this too. I started taking it, and when I did, each night got a little better for me. Within the first week I started taking it, I slept the whole night for the first time in a long time--years. I wake up in the morning, ready to get out of bed, I feel rested, I have my energy and my focus back. I feel great, better than I have in a long time. Anyone out there that is having trouble sleeping, I highly recommend taking Serenite." - William, North Carolina

Restoring healthy sleep the natural way

Because of limited time and lack of understanding of the natural sleep cycle, many conventional doctors prescribe strong sleeping tablets for insomnia like Diazepam (Valium), Lorazapam, Alprazolam, etc.

These can be highly addictive and if used for more than a week or two can result in a lifetime of dependence. Using strong drugs to fall asleep often means that the body's natural sleep cycle is disturbed and the ability to fall asleep naturally is lost.

The person often needs to take stronger and stronger medication in order to fall asleep at night. Grogginess in the morning is not uncommon

Naturopaths recognize that sleep is like a barometer. When someone consistently struggles to sleep, this is a sign that something is wrong and needs to be investigated.

Perhaps there are problems at work or in a relationship. Perhaps there is a depression that needs to be treated. Maybe there is a serotonin or a magnesium deficiency which needs attention. Maybe there is another condition which is causing the sleep problem.

Simply taking strong drugs to fall asleep is not enough and can further complicate the picture.

The first step, therefore, is always to ask what is causing the insomnia and try and correct this so that a healthy sleep pattern can be re-established.

Better sex for women. Finally.

2005-02-22T10:05:00.000-08:00

"I thought that I was just one of those women who could not have an orgasm. Sex was OK at first, but most of the time I would rather curl up with a good book! Do you know that I used to fake orgasms just so that my fiancee could feel good? I know it was wrong, but I felt like I was not good enough. My friend told me about your libido capsules and I decided to give them a try. Sex is getting better and better all the time. I have been taking the capsules for three weeks and there is a definite difference. No more faking for me!" - Sylvie, USA

Natural way to boost Male Sexual Performance

2005-02-20T04:23:00.000-08:00

"Dan (28 years old) contacted me for online counseling and help with his sexual problems. Although he was in a steady relationship, Dan was afraid that he would lose his girlfriend due to his inability to maintain an erection. Even when he was aroused, Dan's erection was not as strong as he would have liked it to be and it did not last very long. When making love with his girlfriend, Dan would either ejaculate too quickly or his erection would disappear, leaving him embarrassed and his girlfriend unsatisfied. This had led to frustration and the couple were having arguments about lots of things. Dan had felt too ashamed to consult anyone face to face and chose the anonymous nature of online counseling to seek help for his problem. We worked together to draw up a healthy eating plan and a daily exercise routine and I started Dan on a course of Ikawe, three times daily. After about a week, there was a noticeable difference and Dan was beginning to feel aroused more often. A month later, Dan emailed me to say that he was a different man and that he and his girlfriend were making love every night! He felt proud that he was able to make love for longer and could satisfy his girlfriend as well as himself." - Michele Carelse, Clinical Psychologist - Native Remedies

Natural Treatments For Asthma

2005-02-18T03:09:00.000-08:00

What is asthma?

One in 10 children and one in three adults suffer from chronic asthma.

An acute asthma attack is caused by inflammation in the airways of the lungs, causing contraction and narrowing of the airways (bronchioles), restricting airflow and making breathing very difficult.

Chronic asthma is a lung condition characterized by frequent asthma attacks and requiring medical management to prevent and minimize acute attacks.

This can take the form of conventional Western medicine, homeopathic or naturopathic treatment. While many asthma attacks are relatively mild and can be treated and controlled at home, some are more severe and may even require hospitalization.

Prostate Dr without the Doctor

2005-02-15T01:18:00.000-08:00

"My doctor diagnosed BPH at the end of last year after I complained of waking at least 3 times every night to urinate. As I always prefer natural medicines, I decided to give the Prostate Dr. a try before considering prescription drugs. I was surprised that it helped so quickly! After a few days I was sleeping through the night again and could urinate much more easily. I can recommend your remedy to any man who suffers from the annoying symptoms of BPH" - Frank, 64 years old, USA

Enlarged Prostate (BPH): A Common Part of Aging

It is common for the prostate gland to become enlarged as a man ages. Doctors call the condition benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), or benign prostatic hypertrophy.

As a man matures, the prostate goes through two main periods of growth. The first occurs early in puberty, when the prostate doubles in size. At around age 25, the gland begins to grow again. This second growth phase often results, years later, in BPH.

Though the prostate continues to grow during most of a man's life, the enlargement doesn't usually cause problems until late in life. BPH rarely causes symptoms before age 40, but more than half of men in their sixties and as many as 90 percent in their seventies and eighties have some symptoms of BPH.

As the prostate enlarges, the layer of tissue surrounding it stops it from expanding, causing the gland to press against the urethra like a clamp on a garden hose.

The bladder wall becomes thicker and irritable. The bladder begins to contract even when it contains small amounts of urine, causing more frequent urination.

Eventually, the bladder weakens and loses the ability to empty itself. Urine remains in the bladder. The narrowing of the urethra and partial emptying of the bladder cause many of the problems associated with BPH.

Many people feel uncomfortable talking about the prostate, since the gland plays a role in both sex and urination. Still, prostate enlargement is as common a part of aging as gray hair.

As life expectancy rises, so does the occurrence of BPH. In the United States alone, 375,000 hospital stays each year involve a diagnosis of BPH.

Prostate Dr. is a proven, effective 100% safe compound natural remedy for treating BPH.

Prostate Dr. is a unique and proprietary blend of three highly effective herbal remedies combined in therapeutic dosage, and will address all the major symptoms of BPH and bring fast relief.

Used regularly Prostate Dr. will also prevent recurrent episodes of BPH and Prostate problems.

Regular use of Prostate Dr. will help to:

• Assist in male health maintenance and promote bladder health
• Prevent the occurrence of BPH
• Promote strong and healthy urine flow
• Prevent weak and dribbling urine stream
• Reduce pain and burning during urination
• Reduce swollen prostate glands
• Strengthen the immune system

PMS completely out of control

2005-02-12T18:48:00.000-08:00

"For years my PMS has been completely out of control. I have been hospitalized twice for my symptoms which have been as severe as passing out, throwing up, diarrhea, and fever. Doctors have tried everything from birth control pills to heavy medication, yet nothing has really worked. To control my cramps recently I have been exceeding the prescribed about of pain killers and even doubling my dosage of prescribed medicine. Recently, I went on the internet in search of something homeopathic, although I was skeptical that anything could help me. When I saw the description for Femlite I thought it was seriously too good to be true. However, I figured it would be better to try something that didn’t work and wasn’t harmful for my body rather than the heavy drugs that I have been prescribed.

Normally five days before my period I have intense mood swings; I feel really sad or frustrated and usually yell and cry at my loved ones. Also during this time I get the worst headaches (irritated by light and uncontrollable) and cramps. Yesterday, I felt those symptoms coming on so I started taking Femalite. Honestly my body’s reaction was almost immediate. The pain literally disappeared and I was in a completely euphoric state all day. Honestly, I have not been in a mood that great since I was a child. My fiancé commented that he looks forward to me being this happy before every period.

This is my second day using Femalite and I can say with confidence that I will use this product for the rest of my life!" - Alexandria, GA, USA

Immediate menopause relief without prescription medicine.

2005-02-11T00:26:00.000-08:00

Menopause is the time at "mid-life" when a woman has her last period. It happens when the ovaries stop releasing eggs - usually a gradual process. Sometimes it happens all at once.

Perimenopause is the period of gradual changes that lead into menopause. It affects a woman's hormones, body, and feelings. It can be a stop-start process that may take months or years.

"Climacteric" is another word for the time when a woman passes from the reproductive to the non-reproductive years of her life.

The ovaries' production of estrogen slows down during perimenopause. Hormone levels fluctuate, causing changes just as they did during adolescence.

The changes leading to menopause may seem much more intense than those during puberty. The intensity may be affected by a woman's feelings about aging, including her reactions to social judgments about aging.

Induced menopause occurs if the ovaries are removed or damaged as in hysterectomy or chemotherapy. In this case, menopause begins immediately, with no perimenopause. The time after menopause is called postmenopause.

The average age for a woman's final period is 51, but it can occur as early as age 40 and as late as age 60. Each woman's experience with menopause is unique. Some women experience very few changes during this time, while others report noticeable symptoms.

Estrogen dominance is also a factor in some of the more troublesome symptoms of menopause as well as PMS and complaints like PCOS.

Estrogen dominance is thought to occur when there is a drop in progesterone production during menopause.

Black Cohosh is one of the more thoroughly researched herbs which contains phytoestrogens and is approved by the German 'Kommission E" - a body similar to the FDA.

Because Black Cohosh has mild estrogen-like effects it will bind to estrogen receptors, without raising estrogen levels in the body - thereby lowering the estrogenic activity of the body.

Phytoestrogens can compete with excess systemic estrogen and xeno-estrogens and therefore help to balance systemic estrogen production.

In addition, research suggests that Black Cohosh also suppresses Luteinizing Hormone (LH), high levels of which are responsible for hot flashes, among other things.

Black Cohosh is one of the principle ingredients in our MellowPause remedy, along with Pasque Flower which is a well known tonic for the female reproductive system.

In the case of severe menopausal symptoms, we recommend that MellowPause be taken together with Don Quai, which has been used for many centuries in traditional Chinese medicine.

Don Quai is also well researched and apart from its phyto-estrogenic properties, it has also been shown to be effective in the induction of progesterone receptor activity, thereby further balancing the estrogen/progesterone ratios.

Smoking Cessation - Getting through withdrawal with herbs

2005-02-09T01:39:00.000-08:00

Wondering what you are going to do after those first couple of hours when those nagging withdraw symptoms start to rear their ugly faces?

Withdraw comes in many forms from irritability to getting fidgety, body aches, shakes, headaches, increased appetite, spaciness and the list goes on. Instead of arming yourself with bags of lollypops and Twislers there are some natural alternatives.

It seems like too many people think they are an alzheimers victim when they are not.

2005-02-06T20:49:00.000-08:00

As we grow older, we sometimes begin to notice that our memories are not as good as they used to be.

Fall off of cognitive functioning, including memory, can begin from as young as the mid-thirties and is greatly affected by genetic makeup, stress and other health-related factors such as diet, exercise and lifestyle.

It has also been discovered that the more active we are mentally, the better our minds work and of course this applies to all age groups!

Now there is a natural remedy that has been scientifically shown to improve memory loss linked to aging and which can lead to improved cognitive functioning and a 'sharper' mind.

What makes this stuff work?

Ginkgo Biloba is a powerful herb from the Far East and has been grown in temple gardens for millions of years. Its medicinal properties have only been discovered by the West during the last 20 years, where clinical studies have indicated its effectiveness in restoring the functioning of the circulatory system and improving blood flow to the brain. Active ingredients include flavone glycosides (including ginkgolide), bioflavins, sitosterol, lactones and anthocyanin.

Rosmarinus Officinalis is a herb which originated in the Mediterranean and is regarded in folklore as a symbol of remembrance, for good reason. It is an excellent tonic and system energizer and has a therapeutic effect on the circulatory system, also improving blood flow to the brain.

Salvia Officinalis is traditionally associated with longevity and for restoring memory in the elderly. Salvia has strong anti-oxidant properties to reduce the symptoms of aging. Extracts have been used to treat Alzheimer's and senile dementia.

Here is further information.

Why not win the battle before it begins?

2005-02-06T01:24:00.000-08:00

"For years I suffered, with a digestion fault. After many hours of research, I finally found out that this was due to a deficiency in my immune system. So I started to browse the internet to boost it. A lot of products are to be found, I lost count of the number of different one's I tried. One day while looking for yet another product to try I came upon this site. Unlike a lot of other sites it did not base its help through a vitamin C base. As it was probably the cheapest product I tried, I did not hold to much faith in its results. But to my utter surprise, after 17 days of use I started to feel more alive than I had felt for a long time. I have continued using Immunity Plus for a few months now and the effect as been good health. As this was the cheapest product it was the one I expected the least from, but as a result it is the one I have gained the most from. I strongly recommend using this site. My latest order came today 5 days after order. Which is good as I live in the UK." - Garry, UK

Are psychiatric drugs the only alternative for depression and anxiety?

2005-02-03T13:02:00.000-08:00

It is obvious that the fast paced and stressed society that we live in creates depression and anxiety. Yet depression is not a new disorder - people have been suffering from the symptoms of depression for thousands of years!

This means that practitioners of traditional healing and natural medicine have a wealth of knowledge and a long history of treatment from which to draw.

MindSoothe is a remedy containing two natural remedies in one!

What is MindSoothe depression formula?

1. Hypericum Perforatum (St John's Wort) has been scientifically shown to relieve the symptoms of depression if used regularly over a period of 3 - 5 weeks.

St John's Wort is often called 'Nature's Prozac' and is widely used as the anti-depressant of choice in many countries like Germany and in other parts of Europe.

There have been many clinical studies which show the effectiveness of St John's Wort in the treatment of depression.

A review published in the British Medical Journal quotes up to twenty-three clinical trials which demonstrate that St John's Wort works as well as many prescription anti-depressants, without the major side effects. Millions of people around the world have been helped by treatment with St John's Wort.

Many clients say that it feels like 'the black cloud' has been lifted from their heads and that they have more zest for life!

2. The St John's Wort in MindSoothe is combined with Passiflora - a calming herb that reduces anxiety and soothes frayed nerves.

According to Dr Earl Mindell (The New Herb Bible), Passiflora is one of nature's best tranquilizers. It works quickly and effectively and is an excellent addition to any treatment for anxiety and depression.

MindSoothe has been specially formulated by a Practicing Clinical Psychologist and has been safely and effectively prescribed to real people with real problems for years!

Make your own Heating/Cooling pads

2005-02-01T11:26:00.000-08:00

Sometimes called "bed buddies" or "stress busters", these nifty little pads can be tossed in the microwave and used as heating pads for sore, aching or tense muscles, or tossed in the freezer and used as cooling pads!

The Insides

You can fill the pad with dry rice, corn, bird seed, or a combination of all of these. Add spices, herbs and/or essential oils - when heated the pad will smell wonderful.

A Natural Study Aid.

2005-01-30T08:40:00.000-08:00

I was a college student, once. Seems like ages ago. Man, I'm getting old. I did well but my studying went on for hours. Probably overkill. At the end of my study sessions I was always so burnt that I felt like drinking a bottle of whiskey or peppermint schnapps. Those were the only things that could calm me down. I was so intense and stressed over the whole thing. I know that I am ADD, now. But I did not know that then. Alcohol has always been my medicine for stress/ADD up till about 2 years ago. See, the idea is to kill the stress before it brings you to the lethal breaking point.

Today I work on the internet for many hours a day. I have taken the medication for ADD/ADHD on several occasions in the recent past. I found a better remedy than the prescriptions and it has no side effects at all. It is called StudyPlus and is made by Native Remedies.

StudyPlus contains 100% pure Gotu Cola in maximum therapeutic dose. It has been especially formulated by a Practicing Clinical Psychologist to boost brain power and improve oxygen flow to the brain, thereby increasing cognitive functioning and leading to better concentration and memory. Regular use of StudyPlus will also help to reduce performance anxiety and exam nerves. StudyPlus contains no stimulants or other products which could induce anxiety symptoms.

This remedy is recommended for use throughout the year and not just during test taking times (if you are a student). Changes are more subtle but include ability to study and concentrate for longer, better memory and greater ability to persevere confidently at a task. Many students have seen an increase in their grades.

My grades could not have been much better but I could have made them a whole lot easier. We use these native remedies for everything. Anything to keep me away from a regular doctor. My nieces and nephew use them, my sister uses them, I use them. They work incredibly well. Native Remedies is a great company and we have been buying our herbs from them for 2 years now.

A step from the norm

2005-01-29T17:54:00.000-08:00

Just wanted to step away from the norm for a minute and say that I have a new directory for bloggers to list their blogs on. Big Blog Directory. It's free to use. I also have a page on the site that gives you access to all kinds of blog promotion tools and blog writing tools. That page is here.

Infections of the Urinary Tract are extremely common

2005-01-29T17:37:00.000-08:00

Infections of the Urinary Tract are extremely common, accounting for more than 8 million doctor's visits a year. Approximately 8 - 10 million people in the USA develop a UTI each year.

Urinary tract infection (UTI) usually occurs when bacteria enter the opening of the urethra and multiply in the urinary tract. The urinary tract includes the two kidneys, ureters (tubes that carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder), the bladder itself, and urethra (tube that carries urine from the bladder to the urethral opening).

The special connection of the ureters at the bladder help prevent urine from backing up into the kidneys, and the flow of urine through the urethra helps to eliminate bacteria. Men, women, and children develop UTIs.

Twenty percent of women in the United States develop a UTI and 20% of those have a recurrence. Urinary tract infections in children are more common in those under the age of 2.

Once a UTI has been diagnosed, most conventional doctors choose antibiotics as the preferred treatment. A course of antibiotics can quickly cure a UTI and kill the bacteria that cause it.

Although antibiotics certainly have their place, there are two main problems with antibiotic use for urinary tract infections:

1. Due to the frequency of antibiotic use for UTI's and other infections, bacteria are developing a resistance to the antibiotics, making them less and less effective. The 'smarter' the antibiotics become, the 'smarter' are the bacteria, which mutate to avoid the effects of the antibiotics.

2. Frequent use of antibiotics will also affect your immune system functioning. As we have seen above, a healthy immune system is important in the prevention of UTI's. This means that the antibiotics that are used to cure your UTI, may make another infection more likely in the near future.

There are many natural herbs which are extremely effective in the treatment and prevention of UTI's. Some of these have been used for centuries and many have been subjected to clinical trials which prove their effectiveness.

Using the knowledge and experience of experts in the field of natural and indigenous medicine, Native Remedies has developed a unique formula containing a total of seven therapeutic herbs, especially selected to relieve the symptoms of UTI and promote the health of the urinary system.

Containing a unique combination of potent herbs in therapeutic dosage, UTI-Clear relieves the symptoms of Cystitis, Bladder infections and Urinary Tract Infections (UTI).

Many people suffer from recurring infections of the bladder and urinary tract and find it embarrassing and costly to constantly have to consult their doctors for the same reason. Now you can help yourself with UTI-Clear.

A few drops of UTI-Clear at the first signs of infection (burning and frequent urination, fever, stomach cramps or lower back ache) can help to clear the infection and stop it from recurring time and time again. Give UTI-Clear to your partner to prevent re-infection.

Natural remedies vs. Glucosamine Chondroitin and others like it.

2005-01-26T22:42:00.000-08:00

About 10 years ago I worked at general nutrition center in Columbus, Oh. I was there for, oh, about a year. Mostly, it was a boring job because there were never any customers. But when there were customers their main interest was one of two things: Something to help them lose weight or something to help with joint pain or arthritis. I'm not going to get into the weight loss part of it, today, because I could go on for hours about that.

Our biggest selling joint and arthritis product was Glucosamine Chondroitin. That stuff was hard to keep in stock.

I'm not going to sit here and bring down this great product because I know how many people it has helped. The only thing I don't like about Glucosamine is it's price. For the supply that you get it is very expensive! There were always people complaining about that.

Recently I was made aware of a very effective replacement which is all natural, called JointEase. The main ingredient in this is Devils Claw, named after the claw-like shape of the fruit from which it is derived. This herb has been used for thousands of years by the Khoisan people of the Kalahari Desert (in Southern Africa) to treat painful joint conditions and other health problems such as: Diabetes, hypertension, gout, osteo-arthritis, fibrositis, rheumatism, small joint disease and lower backache. Yes, it is a wonderful and versatile herb.

Anxiety and Panic Disorders

2005-01-23T19:01:00.000-08:00

Anxiety and Panic Disorders are becoming more and more common in modern life. Although exact figures are hard to come by, it is estimated that up to 6.5% of the population has suffered from a diagnosable Anxiety Disorder, while many more people struggle with uncomfortable and distressing symptoms of stress and anxiety.

Prescription drugs are too often the the treatment of choice for the vast majority of people suffering from anxiety and panic attacks.

Some examples of prescription drugs used to treat anxiety are Diazepam, Alprazolam, Clonazepam, Inderol, Clonidine, Imipramine or Wellbutrin. There are many others.

While all of the above psychiatric drugs have undergone clinical trials and have been found to be effective to varying degrees in controlling anxiety and panic attacks, patients are not always properly educated as to the dangers of long term use.

As you may have read in my earlier posts, I am an alcoholic. Recently, I have come across a really nice herbal remedy that has allowed me to deal with my stress easier. It is called PureCalm. This blend combines the soothing properties of Melissa Officinalis, with those of Lavender and Passiflora Incarnata, bringing you relief from anxiety, stress, irritability and nervous tension. --hint: It is also useful for the treatment of shock. But if you are so stressed that you are in shock I recommend you seek the help of a highly professional psychiactrist. lol. This stuff lasts forever and works great! Check it out here.

ADD/ADHD has a great chance!

2005-01-20T23:41:00.000-08:00

ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder) is a group of symptoms that affects concentration and a person's ability to focus. It can cause mood swings, impulsiveness, behavioral and other social problems. Children with these problems have difficulty in completing their school work and are often in trouble with parents and teachers.

I have had ADD for my whole life. I started drinking when I was 16 and just quit, finally, 2 years ago at the age of 28. Yes. I am an alcoholic, but I started drinking for a reason. It calmed me the hell down. It was the only thing that could remove me from the rollercoaster that ADD had me on. I wish I had known about Focus Addult earlier in my life. Besides alcohol, it is the only thing that has worked for me. Believe me, I have tried a lot of different things from pot to prozac! It would have saved me a lot of frustration. Never fear! Get your child started early. There is a new medication out that is completely natural (and does the same thing as Focus Addult) and is made for children. It is called Brightspark.

"Children have problems too! Many medicines for children contain additives, artificial color and preservatives. Some are addictive and others may cause side effects which end up being worse than the condition that they are supposed to treat. Even some of the more natural, herbal medicines should not be given to children under the age of 12, unless supervised by a health care practitioner! Parents are understandably concerned and may feel confused about what they can and can not give their children. As a Psychologist and as a parent, I have seen a need for safe, effective and healthy natural remedies especially formulated for children's health. Together with Native Remedies, I have spent a lot of time in researching and formulating a range of natural remedies especially for young children. All remedies are herbal or homeopathic and carefully chosen for maximum effect and maximum safety, to safely heal and solve your child's problem - naturally. While herbal remedies help to heal and promote health, homeopathic remedies work by strengthening the child's own body to heal itself. The remedies are non-addictive and presented in child-safe doses. No artificial colors or preservatives are used and manufacturing is in accordance with the highest pharmaceutical standards." -Michele Carelse, Clinical Psychologist

I'm tired of prescription acne treatments!

2005-01-17T19:32:00.000-08:00

I have tried Retin-A. My sister has tried Retina. I watched a good friend develop giant (and I mean grotesque) festering pimples on his chest from a similar drug.

Why do we put ourselves through this? The drug companies are laughing their way to the bank the whole time. Acne sucks, yes. The side effects of these prescription drugs seem to hardly outweigh the effects that acne cause on our life.

I have one thing to say. Screw the pharmaceuticals. Stick with natural. Nature has had a cure the whole time. Here is some info about Clearskin-A and Clearskin Facewash!

Herbal Remedies quick to fix my ADHD

2005-01-17T17:40:00.000-08:00

When I hit the age of twelve the world changed for me. Everything became more difficult because my mind was everywhere my grades dropped in school and I was getting in trouble with the teachers all the time.

Since then, 18 years later, I have found a way to control it. Finally. See, my ADHD has never ended. It is NOT a condition found exclusively in kids. I have talked to so many people about this and tried so many kinds of medication to try and treat whatever was happening to me. I would start one job and quickly get bored with it and find a different one. I could not stick with anything.

For the past month I have been much better. I found the answer in a place I least expected to find it. Nature. All of the science that I have tried. And an herbal remedy is the answer. I have been working so hard at developing my business that only recently I discovered how focused I finally am. Most important of all - I know that I'm in it for the long haul this time.

ADHD, once called hyperkinesis or minimal brain dysfunction, is one of the most common mental disorders among children. It affects 3 to 5 percent of all children, perhaps as many as 2 million American children.

Two to three times more boys than girls are affected. On the average, at least one child in every classroom in the United States needs help for the disorder. ADHD often continues into adolescence and adulthood, and can cause a lifetime of frustrated dreams and emotional pain.

The product that I have been using is Focus Addult. There is also a product formulated especially for children called focus If you are seeing any of these symptoms or just want to learn more do yourself a favor and take a look at these. Don't wait as long as I did!
