"We
need to shift our focus from treating disease to generating
health..." Hippocrates (AMA"The Father of
Medicine")
What
is herbal medicine?
I’ve seen confusion as regards to supplements and vitamins and
herbs. They seem to be used interchangeably.
Supplementation
means that you are supplementing your diet with what the body needs
but isn’t getting from food you eat.
In
our article, Health
Conditions – an Introduction it
is stated under Ingredients
for Health “There
are forty nutrients that cannot be made in the body. They are
essential fatty acids, 15 vitamins, 14 minerals, and 10 amino acids.
Collectively these forty nutrients are spoken of as the body's
requirements. From these our bodies synthesize an estimated 10,000
different compounds essential to the maintenance of health. All
the forty nutrients work together; therefore, the lack of any one
might result in the underproduction of hundreds of these essential
compounds. Probably no one nutrient is ever totally lacking from an
otherwise adequate diet, but partial simultaneous deficiencies of many
nutrients is common.”
Thus,
you supplement with these vitamins, minerals, essential fatty acids,
and amino acids. Knowing that the body will repair itself, if it had
the right tools, we can see how natural healing comes about. An
example is neuropathy or nerve damage. The
body needs specific B vitamins and Vitamin D to repair nerves. Thus,
given the right vitamins, the body will address and repair the nerves. There
are many examples of this.
But
what about herbal supplements? They
are not part of the essential nutrients for health. Are
these the same sort of supplementation?
How
do Herbs Work?
Herbs
are referred to as the green pharmacy. Herbs
are used to replace or enhance pharmaceuticals (be careful though that
you’ve checked with your pharmacist before you mix a drug and an
herbal remedy).
Herbs
are more natural. Herbs
are not chemicals. They
can be taken as compresses, teas or infusions. They are also available
as extracts in many herbal remedies you might find in your health food
store or on the internet.
Herbs
are medicinal remedies. Herbs
were used by medical doctors and taught in medical school before 1920. In
1920 the schools were standardized to make the standard for
“modern” medicine to be pharmaceutical drugs and surgery much to
the delight of the pharmaceutical companies no doubt (Note:
homeopathy was also taught in medical schools before 1920).
Herbs
can help the body to recover, but you always need to know that you
have to address the underlying cause of the problem and get the body
to heal itself. To
heal itself, the body needs its ingredients for health which is the
forty nutrients mentioned above.
Are
you unknowingly ingesting Hazardous Waste?
Dr.
Paul Connett describes how fluoride goes from being a hazardous waste
to something you ingest in your public water or put in oral health
products for health benefits. Dr. Connett also mentions some of the
many ways you may be getting fluoride into your system without even
knowing it.

Do You Know Which Foods Are Low in
Carbs?
Many
studies have shown the benefits of following a low carb diet and many
people have reported personal health benefits from reducing or even
getting rid of carbs from their diet, such as:
Improved energy
Reduced or no more cravings for sweets
Clearer thinking
Better mood
Less cavities
Fewer headaches
Less severe or no heartburn
PMS improved
Better skin
Knowing which foods are low in carbs and which are high is not always
obvious. Using the link below you will find an online Carbohydrate
Counter that you can use anytime to find out how much carbohydrates
are in the foods that you're eating.

Counter
(It includes the carb content of hundreds of foods, fast foods,
sauces, desserts, snacks and much, much more.)
I
wanted to let you know that in addition to the Nerve Support
Formula we have a product called the WSN Pain Relief Formula that
can further assist in reducing pain caused by neuropathy. It is
also effective in reducing or getting rid of muscle pain, back
pain, head and neck pain, pain caused by arthritis, minor
injuries, and much more.
Don't settle for habit-forming pain medications or
over-the-counter drugs when you can relieve pain safely and
effectively.
Here is what some customers are saying about using the WSN Pain
Relief Formula:
*********************
"Thank you for letting me know about the Pain Relief Spray. I
was sent a bottle when I ordered Nerve Support Formula. There are
times when my pain becomes intolerable, caused by neuropathy, and
every time I use this spray it brings almost immediate relief.
Thanks."
From Clara Fleming in Canada
*********************
"I've been using the WSN Pain Relief Formula for about a
year. I don't use it daily, but when the neuropathy in my lower
legs and feet flares up during the night, it's been a life saver!
The pain doesn't completely disappear, but it allows me to make it
through the night.
"Fortunately, these conditions are not terribly frequent
(once a week, perhaps), but at least I know that whenever an event
occurs, the Pain Relief Formula will quickly and reliably give me
the much needed relief I never had before. A truly great
product!"
From V. Simons in California
*********************
"When I placed my original monthly order for Nerve Support
Formula, I also got a bottle of Pain Relief Formula. I have
occasional symptoms of arthritis in my fingers, and occasional
sudden cramps in my legs that are both very painful. I used the
Pain Relief Formula spray soon after I received the bottle for
both conditions and I was surprised at the immediate relief!
"Most recently my shoulder and neck were causing such pain
all the way down my arm and into my hand, and the neuropathy was
giving me fits. The last time I checked the clock, it was 2 a.m.,
and I was still tossing and turning and hadn't been able to fall
asleep. I got up and sprayed my legs and feet, and decided to try
it on my neck and shoulder. I went back to bed and was asleep in
15 minutes for the rest of the night. Wish I could purchase it by
the gallon."
From Ed Menken in Texas
*********************
The WSN Pain Relief Formula is a topical spray applied to the
outside of the body. With two or three sprays most people see a
reduction or complete elimination of their pain within ten to
fifteen minutes.
