Should You Be Fearful of
the Zika Virus?
Or How the Zika Industry
was Born
The White House recommends $1.9 billion be directed to fight the Zika virus
The idea that Zika-carrying mosquitoes are solely responsible for an increase in microcephaly cases in Brazil remains theoretical, and there is no Zika-triggered microcephaly epidemic in the U.S.
At least 18 companies are racing to develop a vaccine against Zika, but there are concerns it could increase cases of Guillain-Barré syndrome
There was widespread fear, outrage and panic that the disease would sweep across the U.S., affecting populations from border to border. Calls for experimental drugs and vaccines were made and millions, if not billions, of dollars were spent. And for what?
In most cases, the diseases fizzled out on their own, exacting a far less sensational health toll than the media and, often, the government had you believe. In the case of swine flu, for example, the U.S. government ordered 20 million doses of the drug Tamiflu — costing $2 billion — to fight the pandemic that never was.

Buying Less Expensive Supplements – Is It Worth It?
I’ve talked to people who wind up looking for a
cheaper variation of a supplement as they feel that the one they read
about was too expensive. It makes sense to the person to take that
supplement but they felt it cost too much. Is this a smart thing to do?
Most often the "cheaper" brand is trying to
sell their product off of the want created by the other similar
supplements. The cheaper brand is copying the successful formula (with
cheaper similar ingredients) in an attempt to market it by positioning
it to be less expensive, even if it doesn’t say so in the ads The
cheaper ingredients are sometimes due to the vitamins being made in a
lab (not whole food supplements) or cheaper grade of herb, or less of
each ingredient.
I know of a very effective dental treatment that handles
bacteria and builds dental health. It was copied and a much cheaper
brand was created. But similarities do not make it the same thing. It
doesn’t work as well. I know I tried it at one point.
Vitamin C is a good example. The cheaper version is
ascorbic acid which is like wanting an egg and getting the egg shell.
This vitamin is made in a lab. Whole food Vitamin C does what it is
supposed to do.
Cheaper prices for vitamins is similar to the difference
in prices between the more expensive organic food and genetically
modified or the non-organic food. With the non-organic foods, it may be
cheaper to buy, but you’ll wind up paying later when you need to see
the doctor. You don’t realize that health problems are often from the
nutritional deficiencies created by eating the cheaper food. The penalty
you pay is the pain or possibly the loss of full function of a body
organ. Hardly worth it.
Build health by eating the right foods and taking the
supplements that will correct a health problem. It may cost more, but it
will be well worth it.
How do Medications create Neuropathy
For drugs that Cause Nerve Damage
For a list of the different Causes of Neuropathy
Statin Drugs - Statin drugs are meant to block cholesterol. The outer lining on the nerve, called the myelin sheath, is made of cholesterol. Thus, blocking cholesterol can result in the nerves being unable to rebuild this myelin sheath Cells die and get rebuilt, but without the basic building blocks (the nutrients), the cells cannot rebuild the myelin sheath. Thus, blocking cholesterol can block this basic function.
Chemotherapy Drugs: It is getting widely know that a side effect of this therapy is neuropathy. These drugs are trying to kill cancer cells, often other cells get damaged as well. Nerve cells being very sensitive are easily damaged. For more info on Chemotherapy Neuropathy
Some Blood Pressure Medications: When you take a drug, there are different nutritional deficiencies that are created as the body attempts to metabolize the drug. Drugs are basically toxins that the body has to handle and in doing so creates a positive effect on whatever it is in attempting to address.
Blood pressure can be lowered by these drugs, but it also creates deficiencies. Thus, we have side effects. Nerve damage being one of them.
Other drugs: Some antibiotics, anti-anxiety drugs, anticonvulsant drugs, antidepressants, anti-seizure drugs, HiV drugs, and others also cause neuropathy. Since medications cause side effects by depleting the body of specific nutrients, you should always check to see if nerve damage is listed.
it is a good idea to check rxlist.com or
drugs.com or the literature that comes with your prescription and see what the possible side effects might be.
If you are experiencing nerve damage symptoms, or have been diagnosed as having neuropathy, it is a good idea to check the side effects and if nerve damage, neuropathy, or paraethesia (and other descriptions of nerve damage) are listed - talk to your doctor about changing prescriptions. He might even have a natural solution for you, some doctors do.

Bleeding Gums and Gum Disease
Healthy gums are pink and do not bleed. What is gum disease?
It's called Gingivitis
Gingivitis is characterized by gum redness, changes in the gum,, and bleeding. It is essentially painless.
It is created when plague (sticky deposits of bacteria, mucus and food particles) adheres to the teeth, hardens and irritates the gum.
The accumulation of this plague causes the gums to become infected and swollen. As the gums swell, pockets form between the gums and the teeth and act as a trap for more plague. Irritated gums bleed and eventually start to recede.
This irritation can be fought by introducing Vitamin C which fights the formation of plaque.

Pain Relief for Your Nerves
We wanted to let you know that we have a product called the
RHP Pain Relief Formula that can help reduce pain. 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 one of our customers had to say about using the RHP Pain Relief Formula:
******
"I've been using the RHP Pain Relief Formula for about a year. I don't use it daily, but when the pain 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.
"On one occasion, my shoulder and neck were causing such pain all the way down my arm and into my hand, and the pain from my nerves 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 V. Simons in California
******
The RHP 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.
