<div id="_mcePaste">Do you know of any natural treatments to ease childbirth?</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">According to several medical studies and quite a few mothers I&#8217;ve met, red raspberry leaf tea eases and speeds up labour.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">Squeeze the juice of an orange into a cup of strong, red raspberry leaf tea (one ounce of dried leaves steeped in 20 ounces of boiling water will make more than a day&#8217;s supply). Drink one to three cups or about a pint daily, during the last month of pregnancy.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">I&#8217;m a vegetarian and planning to nurse my baby. Some of my friends say that I wont be giving the baby proper nutrition. Is this true?</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">Not at all, as long as you get enough nutrients from vegetarian sources. In fact, it&#8217;s been shown that vegetarian mothers have considerably less pollutant chemicals in their breast milk than their meat-eating sisters. This has been attributed to the fact that many chemicals enter the body as a contaminant of animal fat and are then stored in human fat.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">What I&#8217;d advise is making sure that your daily intake of protein, calcium, vitamins B2, В12, D, iron, and zinc is sufficient. Your best sources would be:</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">For protein:               	Pulses combined with grains, nuts, or seeds; or a combination of any plant food with dairy products or eggs</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">For calcium:               	Aside from dairy products, you can get a good supply from fortified soy milk, pulses, dark-green leafy vegetables, as well as nuts and seeds.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">For vitamins:              	Whole grains, brewer&#8217;s yeast, dark-green leafy vegetables, dairy products, and supplements (A balanced В complex with at least 3 meg. of vitamin В12, taken 1-3 times daily is recommended.)</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">For vitamin D:          	Fortified soy or regular milk, and a good multivitamin (which your doctor has probably advised) will fill the bill.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">For iron:                    	Dark-green leafy vegetables, torula yeast, whole grains, dried fruits Combining  citrus   fruits  with   iron-rich foods will help you get the most of your iron.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">For zinc:                    	Wheat germ, whole grains, eggs, cheese, pulses, and nuts</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">My friend, who&#8217;s pregnant, has been using lecithin to control her weight gain. Is this safe?</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">I would not advise taking it during pregnancy. Though lecithin is a natural fat emulsifier, found in eggs, nuts, soybeans, and liver &#8211; among other natural foods &#8211; and has been used safely with kelp, vinegar, and vitamin Вб as a diet aid for years, recent studies at Duke University Medical Centre in Durham, North Carolina, have shown that lecithin when given to pregnant females can cause birth defects.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">Altering eating habits, and not using diet aids, is the only safe way to control weight during pregnancy! Keep in mind that if a mother is inadequately nourished, it can affect fetal growth, which is why doctors no longer restrict weight gain to twenty pounds, but are more in favour of a twenty-eight to thirty pound gain.</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">Some basic physics is necessary to understand what follows:<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">When a magnet is moved close to a conductor, such as a wire, or any conductor, such as blood or body fluids or nerves, an electric current is induced in that conductor. Generators and alternators operate on this principle. When an electric current flows along a wire or any conductor, a magnetic field is created around the conductor. Electric motors and many other appliances and devices operate on this principle.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">Low power magnets, associated with movement such as the blood circulating or muscles moving under where the magnet is placed, have been shown to induce micro electric currents that can balance body energies and may also stimulate the iron content of the haemoglobin in the blood to transport oxygen more efficiently.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">The biggest problem we face concerning permanent-type magnets is the false and misleading claims made by a few in the marketplace, and this makes it confusing for the lay person. It is also a worry because many of these people do not know how magnets work, or what to advise their clients. People should consult a qualified specialist in magnetic therapy so that they can get the best products, advice and help.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">Electromagnetic energy is a most important part of biological systems. We are at the cell level, electro-chemical-magnetic beings. The DNA in every cell has its own electromagnetic spin, which maintains its controlling functions and is in turn affected by internal and external electromagnetic fields, both good and potentially damaging.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">The two types of magnetic energies referred to above exert influences over the environment and the biological processes of all living things. In humans, the pineal gland at the base of the brain is affected by the magnetic emanations and is responsible for producing melatonin, a master controller of hormones, enzymes, immune function, oxidation and cyclic patterns of sleep-wakefulness. It also governs stress levels and reactions, and the anti-oxidant control of free radicals that can break down cells, and this may lead to allowing for the development of cancer.<br />
</span></p>
<p><a href="http://pharm-c.com/order_cancer.html" title="Treating certain types of cancer"><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">Our body&#8217;s cells are also continuously influenced by strong man-made electrostatic and high frequency electromagnetic fields (EMF), which are well outside what the body is meant to tolerate.<br />
</span></a></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">These include: continuous overhead power line currents, house wiring, appliances, CRT television and computer monitors, radio, radar, bedside electric powered alarm clocks, and even electric bed blankets.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">The unlimited use of these and other man-made EMF radiation products such as microwave ovens and microwave mobile cell phones, close proximity to fluorescent lighting, and even ultrasonic physiotherapy devices poses a grave risk to health in humans and the environment.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">Research indicates that this potentially damaging high frequency EMF that we take for granted can adversely affect the delicate human biological processes such as nerve function, bone growth, tissue regeneration, body communication systems, white cell activity, and immune system status. Many of these environmental hazards, including ionizing x-rays, carcinogenic chemicals in agriculture, in the food chain, in the manufacture of many food items, can interfere with and alter the DNA in the cells. If the DNA is not repaired, the result can eventually be cell mutation and uncontrolled growth. Many types of high frequency EMF have been implicated in immune system deterioration, and together with other factors and stress, can lead to some forms of cancer over time.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">The Western technological society has created a Global EMF pollution of the environment, virtually an electronic jungle. &#8216;Our unwise use of electromagnetic energies has produced environmental changes of unparalleled proportions,&#8217; as, stated by Robert Becker, an orthopaedic surgeon, researcher, author and adamant believer in the perils created by man-made EMF pollution.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">The figures indicating the link between the dangerous EMF and the plethora of new diseases and proliferation of cancers are alarming. For all the billions of dollars spent on cancer research, the situation is getting worse, not better.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">If we wish to live healthy, disease-free lives it is time to address these findings by limiting our own personal exposure, becoming aware of these problems and demanding changes. An informed public taking action can be a powerful influence in global change. We owe this to ourselves and to our precious children.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">Turmeric (Curcuma longa) and Cayenne Pepper (Capsicum minimum)<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">Turmeric is an amazing spice which exhibits strong cancer-preventing properties.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">Turmeric&#8217;s active ingredients include curcuminoids, essential oils, turmerone, zingiberene, A-atlantone and curcumin. It is such a simple spice to use and can be added to meals to attain a delicious, powerful flavour. Chop turmeric finely, throw into your cooking and you will be endowed with all of turmeric&#8217;s incredible healing powers.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">Turmeric is blessed with antibiotic properties and anti-inflammatory actions, and is a very powerful antioxidant. It protects our liver against many toxins, inhibits platelet-activating factor (major component of inflammation), strengthens gastric mucosa, prevents gastric lesions and also lowers blood cholesterol.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">Turmeric also provides DNA protection against damage by carcinogens and is believed to inhibit the development of skin cancer. It is an anti-carcinogen, which neutralizes the cancer-causing compounds in tobacco smoke. Turmeric is the main ingredient in curry powder.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">Cayenne, known as bird pepper, capsicum or chilli pepper, is the powder made from ground red chillies (the fruit of the plant). We all know the spicy taste of chilli and its wondrous ability to make us sweat. Cayenne is also a remarkable spice in increasing general body and peripheral circulation, and decreasing blood pressure. It also regulates the blood flow, equalizing and strengthening the heart, arteries, capillaries and nerves.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">Cayenne suppresses pain and causes the release of the &#8216;pleasure drugs&#8217;, endorphins. Large quantities of chilli can stimulate the development of cancer, yet small amounts are very healthy for cancer prevention.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">What is the best way to take turmeric?<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">•     Fresh &#8211; turmeric is best added fresh to cooking. Chop, dice or grate it and add to your<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">       favourite healthy dishes. The rhizoma (underground stem) is the part used for healing.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">•     Powder — turmeric can also be obtained from a health food store.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">What is the best way to take cayenne?<br />
</span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.medrx-one.me/category_cancer_31.php" title="Treating breast cancer"><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">•     Infusion &#8211; pour 1 cup of boiling water onto 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of cayenne and leave to infuse<br />
</span></a></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">       for 10 minutes. A tablespoon of this infusion should be mixed with hot water and drunk as<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">       needed.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">•     Tincture &#8211; take 0.25ml of the tincture 3 times daily or as needed.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">Yarrow (Achillea millefolium)<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">In old herbal texts yarrow was referred to as &#8216;cure of all ills&#8217; and was used in many cases that seemed hopeless. Its potent blood cleansing ability helps to expel toxins from the body, eradicating unwanted illnesses.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">Yarrow is an excellent remedy used to stop bleeding in the lungs, as it has astringent properties. Used together with calamus roots, it is believed by many folklore healers to heal lung cancer. The calamus roots should be chewed throughout the day and a cup of yarrow tea is sipped every morning and evening.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">&#8216;Yarrow acts directly on bone marrow, stimulating blood renewal, and can be helpful in bone marrow related disorders.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">What is the best way to take yarrow?<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">•     Infusion — pour 1 cup of boiling water over 1 heaped teaspoon of yarrow, infuse for a short<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">       time, then drink. Drink 2 to 3 cups per day. If feverish, you should drink hourly.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">•     Tincture &#8211; take 2 to 4ml of the tincture 3 times a day.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">SOD (Superoxidase Dismutase)<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">SOD is an enzyme possessing strong antioxidant properties. It rejuvenates cells and decreases the rate of cellular breakdown. SOD neutralizes the most common and dangerous free radicals and prevents the formation of cancerous cells.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">It has been shown that levels of SOD in the body decrease with age, while the levels of free radicals in the body increase with age. It is therefore considered an important factor in anti-ageing and cancer prevention.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">There are two kinds of SOD, Manganese SOD (Mn SOD) and Copper/Zinc. SOD (Cu/Zn SOD). Each of these enzymes protects a different part of the cell. Cu/Zn SOD protects the cytoplasm (the jelly-like substance that surrounds the nucleus of the cell), while Mn SOD protects the mitochondria of cells, which contains our DNA and acts as the site of cellular energy production.<br />
</span></p>
<p><a href="http://exactfindrx.com/?category=cancer" title="Treating prostate cancer"><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">SOD may inhibit lung cancer.</span></a><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt"> The susceptibility of breast cells to cancer-causing compounds is lessened by the presence of SOD. SOD levels are higher in healthy people than in patients with cancer of the lung, breast, digestive tract and reproductive system.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">SOD is a potent free radical scavenger, absorbing harmful free radicals and converting them into hydrogen peroxide, to be broken down by enzymes into harmless water and oxygen. It decreases the side effects of radiation therapy, particularly with relation to fibrous scar tissue. It also has the ability to decrease the side effects of chemotherapy.<br />

<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">Intramuscular injections of SOD are more effective than the oral form, as SOD can easily be destroyed by acids and digestive enzymes in the stomach. The best way to obtain SOD naturally is by stimulating your body&#8217;s own production of SOD, by supplying the body with adequate manganese, copper and zinc.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">Foods rich in SOD include broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, green barley grass, green leafy vegetables and wheatgrass.<br />

</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">Breast tissue may be particularly sensitive to the actions of vitamin A. Studies have been conducted where researchers compared the concentrations of various forms of vitamin A in the breast tissue of cancer patients, and patients with benign breast lumps. It was found that there was an increased risk of disease in those with low levels of vitamin A.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">Cervical Cancer<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">Studies suggest that low carotenoid levels, including beta carotene may increase the risk of cervical cancer. Laboratory studies have shown that beta carotene can slow the growth of cervical cancer cells<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">Colon Cancer<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">Studies have been conducted that show many patients with colon cancer have significantly lower carotenoid levels.<br />

<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">Leukoplakia<br />
</span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.exactfindrx.com/?product=leukeran" title="Leukeran (Chlorambucil)"><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">Vitamin A has also been shown to exert protective effects against leukoplakia, a precancerous change in mucous membranes.</span></a><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt"> It often occurs in the mouth and throat and is related to smoking.<br />

<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">Lung Cancer<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">People suffering from lung cancer can have low levels of vitamin A in their blood. Vitamin A preserves the integrity of red blood cell membranes and skin. Lung cancer due to inhalation of benzo-alpha-pyrene is reduced by vitamin A.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">Studies have been done that confirm a high dietary intake of fruit and vegetables and beta carotene supplementation is linked to a decreased risk of lung cancer in both men and women.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">Prostate Cancer<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">High beta carotene intakes may also improve survival in those with prostate cancer, according to some studies.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">Good food sources of vitamin A and beta carotene include fish oil, white fish and eggs; green, orange and yellow vegetables such as carrots, kale, broccoli, yams, pumpkin, winter squash, sweet potatoes, apricots, mangos and rockmelon.<br />
