Home Remedy for Cough And How To Prepare It

A good effective home remedy for cough focuses on assisting the body's natural process of expelling the excess mucous and phlegm that has been manufactured to trap and engulf pathogens and/or offending substances. 

In earlier times, settlers would drink herbal horehound tea and also make tea from the bark and leaves of the white birch tree. 

Authentic horehound lozenges are still sold today (mainly in Europe) but are difficult to find

in the U.S.

They are effective and much better than chemical lozenges that actually disrupt the body's normal processes.

The trouble with Horehound is finding it in a sugar free form.

Horehound does not taste good and for this reason I have had people say that they could not drink it without putting a lot of sugar in it.

When I found that out, I could not recommend it anymore.

I am still searching for sugar free Horehound lozenges and when I locate a brand that I can trust I will let you know about it. 

Home Remedy for Cough / Use an Herbal Expectorant

Also, a company called Naturade has been making an Herbal Expectorant Cough syrup that contains guaifenesin (white birch extract) and flavored horehound extract that they have been making since 1926. 

White birch extract could not be patented, so pharmaceutical companies copied it chemically and they tell us that their copy is better for us. 

But I generally do not trust counterfeits, especially when the real thing exists to serve us.

What if profits were not ahead of people? What then? 

Home Remedy for Cough / Use a Humidifier

Another thing that I found to be very important is to run a humidifier at night if you have a cough. 

The slight moisture in the air seems to gently coat ticklish air passages. Always be sure to disinfect a humidifier with a bottle of inexpensive hydrogen peroxide, unless the manufacturer directs you otherwise, prior to using. 

Quite a few nasty pathogens like to take up residence in a moist, warm humidifier. 

The last thing you need is to breathe in mold and bacteria that has been growing in the humidifier. 

Once disinfected, use only pure distilled water and several drops of solvent free Eucalyptus , or Lavender  oil drops in the water.

Some people like the smell to be very strong and others prefer it to be very light in the air.

Adjust it to your preference.

Peppermint smells nice, but I look for stronger anti-ineffective measures.

I want to assist the body by making the air inhospitable to the growth of the bacteria or virus.

Both eucalyptus and lavender are antiseptic in nature, with eucalyptus acting more strongly to open up clogged breathing passages. 

In medieval times, bunches of dried sage were hung on the bedposts to disinfect the air around the bed.

Sage tea was a regular medicinal tea, but I do not like the taste.

Honey makes it a little better. I do not mind breathing a hot pot of sage vapors though. That's very soothing to your throat. 

I lean toward natural disinfectants, especially when the air may be filled with infected moisture particles that keep re-infecting the person, making the job of getting well even harder.

Everyone has to breathe to live! Keep an aromatherapy pot going near your bed with lavender oil being diffused in a little almond oil, or natural canola oil to disinfect the air in your room.

Home Remedy for Cough / Do Not Re-Infect Yourself

Make sure you follow the same rule as I tell people who are blowing their nose at the onset of a cold: use only disposable napkins and throw each one away as soon as you use it. 

Do not re-infect yourself, or anyone else for that matter. 

And change your pillowcase everyday while you have a cough, or bronchitis. 

If you haven't killed the dust mites in your pillow lately, put the dry pillow in the clothes dryer for thirty minutes on high heat. 

Heat kills the dust mites and your certainly do not need to be breathing their filthy dropping while your lungs are already weak!

Herniated Disc- How to Cure Herniated Disc Using Chiropractic Treatment

Does sometimes your daily activity become problematic because you suddenly suffer from back pain which comes down to your leg? 

If you experience this, you could be affected by herniated disc. 

Herniated disk is one of the causes of someone suffering from back pain. 

Its a.k.a. slipped disc or Ruptured inter-vertebral disc.

Sometimes, you may have a herniated disc problem and you may not even be aware of it. See some nutrition ideas here.

People who do not have disk problem or symptoms are suddenly experiencing it. 

However, there are cases when slipped disc or herniated disc can cause pain. 

Several of the symptoms of herniated disc such as weakness and numbness in the lower back, chest, neck, leg or arm, shoulder, pain, low back pain or leg pain that relapses when you sit, cough, or sneeze and the pain and tingling of sciatica that comes from your bottom and go down to your back until your leg.

There are many treatments for hernia, such as physical therapy, anti-inflammatory medication, cortisone shots, and surgery. 

Surgery isn't a good choice for herniated disc as its not even required; surgery is not always fully succeeded in correcting the problem. 

Conservative treatment works well by a herniated disc.

It will be prudent to seek the services of a chiropractic doctor first if you suffering from severe back pain ongoing for week. 

And if you go for chiropractic treatment at the right moment, you can heal quickly and get help from the pain.

Cancer Treatment - Surprising Way To Treat Cancer

Many discoveries at various levels of research get a mention here and there but most of us are not exposed to such information, which makes us unable to discuss them with our physician.

One “breakthrough” that made sense to me was described in 1993 at a forum in New York sponsored by the National Cancer Institute (NCI).

The background is that bodily tissues have similarities with tumors in that the latter also rely on nutrients from our blood to survive.

You’ve tried everything to cure cancer, but nothing worked, try this (Click Here and Download) Limited Time Only.

By a process known as angiogenesis, these tumors send out chemical runners stimulating a lifeline (new capillaries) into the blood stream. It's a bit like a life saver's line. It actually saves the life of that tumor.

Apparently, it is exactly when angiogenesis starts that tumors flourish. If this can finally be proven, anything that can prevent or cut off blood supply to tumors must stand a winning chance against the big C. 

According to Judah Folkman, a pediatric surgeon at the Children's Hospital in Boston, it is also an important issue for anyone cleared of cancer but currently living in fear of secondary or new tumors.

It is through knowing the extent of angiogenesis (i.e. the volume of growth of new capillaries reaching out for the blood stream) that the treatment of a tumor will be determined, Folkman believes.

He believes this approach could be tried before chemotherapy. His focus is on “hot spots” of dense, newly formed capillaries. 

Counting their number in a microscopic field, he has been able to predict occurrences of tumors.

Over the past years drugs that block angiogenesis have apparently tested successfully on patients with general types of cancer. 

Your doctor will know of these drugs if they have been released and are currently available in your country. It is certainly something you could talk to him / her about.

Alternatively, an as-yet unproven substance from sharks has received a great deal of attention in a book called “Sharks don’t get Cancer”, which has attracted a great deal of media coverage in Japan and also in a number of Western countries.

Here the bottom line is that sharks cartilage cuts off the blood supply to tumors seeking attachment.

Whether this is in fact true will depend on whether cancer associations put their research monies in this direction and if private funding can be found.

Whatever the result, discussing these options with your physician or any cancer support group that has experience of alternatives that might have individual clinical successes is worthwhile. In many ways, we can learn from each other’s' experience. I have gathered my experiences into an eBook Click here and download. NOTE: It is available for a limited time only so act now.
