--> In a single plant, aloe vera offers potent, natural medicine that:
Halts the growth of cancer tumors.
Lowers high cholesterol.
Repairs "sludge blood" and reverses "sticky blood".
Boosts the oxygenation of your blood.
Eases inflammation and soothes arthritis pain.
Protects the body from oxidative stress.
Prevents kidney stones and protects the body from oxalates in coffee and tea.
Alkalizes the body, helping to balance overly acidic dietary habits.
Cures ulcers, IBS, Crohn's disease and other digestive disorders. |  Likewise, alternative practitioners should understand that the integration of antibiotic therapy for the benefit of the patient is not a failure of natural medicine. There are old texts that make reference to treating PID with natural therapies, but they lack modern methods of evaluation and follow-up. It could be that botanicals used in India, China, or elsewhere have a tradition substantiated by modern confirmation testing, but I am not aware of any confirmed treatments. | | Simply put in modern terms, naturopathic physicians are primary health-care providers, family physicians who specialize in natural medicine. The following seven principles are the foundation for naturopathic medicine:
1. The healing power of nature (vis medica-trix naturae). The body has the inherent ability xvii to establish, maintain, and restore health. | | I have home-grown recipes for halting degenerative disease, ending digestive disorders, lowering cholesterol and much more, all using delicious natural medicine from fruits and vegetables!
Note: Fresh aloe vera has virtually no taste. Other forms of aloe will have a slightly bitter taste, so you may need to add more sweetener if using dried aloe vera. I always recommend using fresh, raw aloe vera right out of your yard if possible. Nothing is superior to the living, raw plant, but the low-temperature dried aloe vera mentioned here is the next best thing. | | Women who are seeking an alternative to drug or surgical treatment for uterine fibroids will not find an easy, reliable alternative to shrink the tumors with natural medicine. Using the protocols in this book, we are usually able to successfully resolve or improve most symptoms that relate to the fibroids such as abnormal bleeding, pelvic pain or pressure, and backache. In addition, there are natural therapies that may be able to slow the growth of the fibroids to avoid further problems. | | Whether the terms alternative medicine, complementary medicine, natural medicine, or holistic medicine are used, they all reflect the transformation that is occurring in health care: a focus on disease prevention, the promotion of healthy lifestyle habits, and the treatment of disease with natural, nontoxic, and less invasive therapies. At the center of this transformation is a distinct system called naturopathic medicine.
The roots of naturopathic medicine are seen in the healing traditions of Egypt, India, China, Greece, Germany, South and Central America, Africa, and native North America. | | But I'm not in the aloe vera business, I'm in the business of helping people heal, and I will not censor the truth about the healing powers of aloe vera merely to appease a corrupt Food and Drug Administration that continues to censor and oppress information about the healing benefits of natural medicine.
Here's what I know about aloe vera's health benefits:
Aloe vera boosts immune function and destroys cancer tumors
Scientific research shows strong immunomodulatory and antitumour properties for aloe vera polysaccharides. | | I am, however, an enthusiastic supporter of natural medicine, and I personally grow and eat aloe vera plants in Tucson, Arizona.
In fact, my yard is an aloe farm, and each day before I make my superfood breakfast smoothie, I walk out to my yard, slice off an aloe vera leaf, thank the plant for granting me its healing medicine, then I fillet the leaf and drop the aloe vera gel into my blender. A few minutes later, I'm enjoying the most impressive medicinal herb that nature has ever created. | | Only rarely will PMS not respond to a comprehensive natural medicine approach.
SEXUALLY 18
TRANSMITTED INFECTIONS
OVERVIEW
Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and their complications continue to infect women at epidemic rates. Each year, more than 15 million American men and women contract an STI.1 Worldwide, the estimated incidence of STIs is over 250 million cases per year. All women who are sexually active are at risk for acquiring infection and related reproductive tract problems, although heterosexual women are at substantially increased risk compared to lesbian women. | | In addition to these seven principles, there are two principles that I believe are fundamental not only to natural medicine, but to good medicine in general: the principle of resonance and the principle of choice. Let me explain. Resonance is basically an issue of compatibility. What approach, what therapy, what herb, or what of any substance is compatible with this particular patient in this particular moment and set of life circumstances? The selection of the therapeutic approach that is resonant with the individual is the therapy that will create the most healing momentum. |  Most people only turn to herbs and natural medicine when their regular, conventional physician has left them to die. They only turn to alternative medicine when modern medicine has failed them. And that is their great missed opportunity, because they could have survived, and been healthier and disease free all along, if they had just looked at the solutions nature has provided us.
Conventional medicine is based on dogma, not science
You see, all you have to do to survive the next pandemic is shift your beliefs about medicine and disease prevention. |  Many doctors of natural medicine have observed (although most conventional doctors disagree) that a patient can be clinically hypothyroid and still have normal blood tests for thyroid function7 (see chapter 4 for more information). Nutrition-oriented physicians may diagnose hypothyroidism on the basis of symptoms, physical examination, and a sub-normal body temperature. Although prescribing thyroid hormone for people with normal lab tests remains controversial, we are convinced that unrecognized hypothyroidism is an important and overlooked factor in some patients with CFS. | | Fortunately, natural medicine offers a number of promising alternatives that appear to be quite safe and are relatively inexpensive.
Infertility: A Modern Epidemic
Despite the worldwide population explosion, evidence indicates that infertility is a problem for a growing number of couples. A review of 61 published studies revealed that sperm counts dropped by more than 50% between 1938 and 1990.1 A recent report from a European sperm bank suggests that an epidemic of infertility may be just around the corner. Of the sperm donors tested before 1980, 5. | | As is often the case with natural medicine, a combination of treatments may be more effective than any single treatment alone. That is especially true for hypertension, since the effectiveness of the individual dietary changes and nutrients seems to vary from person to person. Of the patients we have seen who required prescription medications for high blood pressure, about 40% were able to wean themselves off of their medications and maintain a normal blood pressure with the help of nutritional and lifestyle changes. | | Before we get to those, let's make sure we've covered basic diet and a few other 'natural medicine' things like exercise, acupuncture, and psychological aspects like meditation, biofeedback, and prayer."
"Where shall we start?" Susan asked.
"You've already done quite a bit with diet, so let's just finish that. Let's see—low salt, minimum alcohol, no caffeine, and you'll try eliminating all sugar and foods with sugar as well as refined carbohydrate. That leaves vegetables and allergies."
"As far as I know I don't have any allergies," Fred said. | | Triple-estrogen subsequently became widely used in natural medicine, and it is now available at most compounding pharmacies in the United States and Canada.
Expected Benefits and Side Effects of Estrogen. As mentioned previously, horse estrogens and other synthetic estrogens have been shown to reduce the risk of osteoporosis and possibly to reduce the risk of heart and blood-vessel disease as well as senility (including Alzheimer's disease). |  REPPED: Whenever I really want to be amused, I spend a few minutes reading the latest admonishments and retortments from the extreme skeptics of natural medicine. By "extreme skeptics," I don't mean actual critical thinkers who apply genuine open-minded curiosity to the world around them, I mean the pseudoscientific zealots who berate anyone who believes in acupuncture, massage therapy, homeopathy, herbal medicine, sunlight therapy, breath therapy, meditation or any number of other natural healing modalities. |  Embrace natural medicine from day one and you'll never have to endure the permanent damage of chemotherapy, the extremely harmful side effects of pharmaceuticals, or the lifetime maiming and scar tissue associated with surgery.
If you choose natural medicine or alternative medicine (I am using the terms interchangeably here), you always have the potential to return to a perfect state of health, because you have not harmed your vital organs in the process. | | Choose natural medicine from day one
You have to make this decision early on. You cannot choose conventional medicine for six months then hope to switch successfully to naturopathic medicine or alternative medicine after you have been maimed, harmed, and poisoned by your doctor or your oncologist.
It is important to make the switch before ever being poisoned. Embrace natural medicine from day one and you'll never have to endure the permanent damage of chemotherapy, the extremely harmful side effects of pharmaceuticals, or the lifetime maiming and scar tissue associated with surgery. |  I stock Kashi products in both of my natural medicine Stores, but they are also available on the health food or organic food aisle in almost any grocery store.
Another brand to check out is Food For Life (www.foodfor-life.com). I am a huge fan of their organic sprouted whole-grain pastas and breads. Again, I stock Food for Life products in my natural medicine Store, but to find out where you can buy them, check out the website's built-in store finder.
Organic Housecleaning Products
Remember that it is important to decrease your exposure to environmental estrogens, or xenoestrogens. |  And don't think you can "play it safe" and do both chemotherapy and natural medicine. You have to make a choice: Death or life. If you want death, go with chemotherapy. It's known as "legalized euthanasia" in medical circles. But if you want to live, go with natural medicine.
There's really no such thing as "cancer"
Remember this: I've had cancer a thousand times in my life already. So have you. We beat it automatically, unknowingly, routinely... with a functioning immune system and a little help from nature's medicines (found in foods and botanicals). |  The Complete natural medicine Guide to the 50 Most Common Medicinal Herbs presents the "Traditional Use" for each herb discussed, which in some cases has been verified in controlled clinical trials, as well as the "Current Medicinal Use" of each herb, which is based on existing scientific research and medical evidence. |  That's why this genuine natural medicine is only a couple of bucks per serving (or dose).
In my view, it's one of the best investments in your health. For less than the price of a cup of coffee at Starbucks, you can have an anti-cancer, anti-Alzheimer's, anti-heart disease, anti-diabetes drink that's delicious and healthful. That beats a can of sugar water soda any day!
Remember: The best medicine comes from nature. Plants are like tiny pharmaceutical factories, and they synthesize natural medicines automatically, using soil, sunshine, air and water. It's amazing, but true. |  The Tijuana cancer clinic kidnapping
Jimmy Keller cured his own cancer through the use of natural medicine therapies. Encouraged by success with his own cancer, he pursued a career in natural medicine and later moved to Mexico and opened a clinic that could legally treat U.S. patients with the disease (treating cancer naturally is illegal in the United States, so the best practitioners are forced to open clinics in Mexico or other countries). The success of this clinic caught the eye of health authorities in the United States, and they decided to put a stop to it. | | Curing cancer is incredibly easy when you use natural medicine and make radical changes to your diet and lifestyle. Conventional medicine, however, is clueless, and conventional therapies like chemotherapy actually make the patient weaker and more susceptible to cancer. Once you undergo chemotherapy, all bets are off. Your immune system is severely compromised. So in my opinion, avoiding chemotherapy is essential to curing cancer.
And don't think you can "play it safe" and do both chemotherapy and natural medicine. You have to make a choice: Death or life. | | THERAPEUTIC CONSIDERATIONS
Although psoriasis may have a significant genetic component, rebalancing the cyclic AMP:GMP ratio can be substantially achieved through natural medicine intervention. A number of controllable factors appear to cause or contribute to psoriasis, including:
• incomplete protein digestion
• bowel toxemia
• impaired liver function
• alcohol consumption
• excessive consumption of animal fats
• nutritional deficiencies
• stress.
These are briefly discussed below. | | THERAPEUTIC CONSIDERATIONS
The primary areas of intervention from a natural medicine perspective involve prevention by addressing suspected pathophysiology and using natural measures to improve mental function in the early stages of the disease. In the advanced stages of AD, natural measures will provide only limited benefit.
Estrogen
Estrogen is being promoted to offer protective and possibly therapeutic benefits in AD. | | A textbook of natural medicine. Seattle, WA: Bastyr University Publications. 1996

Antibiotic
• Erythromycin: 250-500 mg four times/day. | |
