Kava Kava, The Natural Anxiety Reducer

Filed under: anxiety,insomnia,Kava,Kava Kava,liver,liver failure,natural medicine,piper methsyticum,side effects,Uncategorized — doctorsolve @ 4:59 pm

Kava or Piper Methsyticum is a tall shrub that is part of the pepper family that grows in the South Pacific islands. The root which is used medicinally has been traditionally chewed or made into a drink is available in capsule, tablet, or liquid extract.

Most commonly people use Kava to help treat with their anxiety and insomnia. However, Kava can cause sedation, and when taking high amounts, intoxication may also occur. There have actually been quite a few studies on the effects of Kava. Most have shown that Kava does appear to be effective in treating anxiety. However, the effects are generally mild if taken as directed.

However, there have been some things that should be known. The FDA issued a warning about Kava in 2002. There have also been a list of some rather troubling side effects. Kava has been linked with liver conditions including hepatitis, cirrhosis, and even liver failure. However, these liver reactions are thought to be due to pre-existing liver disease.

There are some other side-effects and drug interactions that have been reported with Kava. Remember before you try Kava to talk to you doctor first.

“Dead By Mistake”

Filed under: accidents,americans,dead,death,health care reform bill,infection,medical error,medical mistakes,medicine,natural medicine,safe,safety,Uncategorized — doctorsolve @ 12:04 pm

Medical errors have causing an alarming amount of preventable deaths in the United States.-

An estimate 200,000 Americans will die in 2009 due to preventable medical errors and hospital infections. So you have to ask yourself, do you feel safe? I am not so sure anymore. I the fact that yes, we are all human and we do make some mistakes. However, 200,000 preventable deaths in 2009 alone is unacceptable. I cannot comprehend how after 10+ years of post-secondary schooling that many people are killed due to a mistake. No longer should it be consider “Dead By Mistake,” instead maybe is should be more appropriately name “Sorry I wasn’t sure if I was supposed to cut the red or blue one,” or what about “Maybe I should’ve been paying more attention,” or how about “Oops!”

Someone needs to address this current statistic. There should not be this many accidental deaths in a modernized country such as ours. It is simply not good enough. Some new set of rules need to be put in place. Maybe an investigation team that determine how great a mistake was made. Maybe place cameras in the operating room so if someone does die by mistake the tape can be reviewed and higher powers can punish the doctor that was responsible appropriately.

Whatever is suggested, something does need to be done. I don’t feel safe anymore, I don’t have faith in doctors, who are supposed to be some of the most educated people in the country. Something needs to be done, something needs to be changed.

6 Ways to Lose Weight Naturally

Filed under: metabolism,natural medicine,natural weight loss,Uncategorized,vitamins,weight loss — doctorsolve @ 11:41 am

Despite what the countless infomercials and magazine ads say, you do not need hundreds of dollars worth of bizarre work out equipment or a cupboard full of worthless weight loss medicine to lose weight effectively. There are many natural medicines that will assist you in weight loss that will not harm your body with toxins and chemicals and make you feel healthy!

1. Drink more water

Water is the most important and effective weight loss remedy. By increasing your intake of water to a minimum of 8 glasses a day, your body will become more efficient in absorbing the nutrients and vitamins it needs. Drink a glass of water before you start to snack or have a meal. It may stop you from overindulging by giving you a feeling of fullness. Drinking warm water will aid in digestion.

2. Put your body to work

The number one weight loss remedy proven to be the most effective for hundreds of years is the most simple; get some exercise! There is nothing out there that will allow you to get in shape and lose weight faster than a jog on the beach or a visit to the gym. Not to mention it does wonders to the mind and will leave you feeling energized and happier. (Remember to drink loads of water when working out!!)

3. Try green tea products

Green tea is an ancient remedy in China believed to be effective for many things including weight loss. A cup of green tea has the ability to increase your metabolism and fat and calorie burning abilities. Although in ancient times green tea was consumed only as tea, today green tea comes in different forms including capsules and extracts.

4. Almonds, peanuts and walnuts!

Eating a handful of nuts a day will provide you with protein and satisfy your appetite. According to the International Journal of Obesity, a recent study showed that eating a serving of almonds daily for 6 months can help decrease your body fat by 18%. Be careful not to eat too many, because nuts also contain healthy fat, ideal in small amounts but may cause weight gain in large amounts.

5. Eat more Raw food

Raw food is a great health option because it does not contain fatty oils like cooked food, or chemicals used in processing. Try to increase your raw food intake by eating raw vegetables, fruit, nuts and especially salads!

6. Eat Pears

Pears are said to be the best fruit to aid in weight loss because they are full of fibre which improves your digestive tract and fills you up quickly to prevent further food consumption. Besides, they’re sweet and juicy!

Heliocare, the Future in Sun Protection

Filed under: antioxidants,chuck norris,Heliocare,natural medicine,Skin cancer,skin care,sun,sun damage,Uncategorized,UV rays — doctorsolve @ 12:20 pm

If you’ve ever been into any kind of sci-fi movies or television shows you’ve almost definitely seen the characters on the show popping pills for everything, from food pills, to pills that somehow instantly cure wounds that no man, Chuck Norris included, could survive. I’m sure you’ve wondered, “When are we going to get those?” Well, maybe we’ve already got them.

Heliocare, an oral dietary supplement is loaded with antioxidants which help protect the skin against sun damage. The almost too-good-to-be-true pill is very real, and in fact is the first oral sun protectant to be clinically proven to prevent free radicals, premature aging, and hyperpigmentation.

For those that are into the natural medicines, here is some good news, the main ingredient, Polypodium leucotomos extract, is 100% natural. Two other key ingredients found in Heliocare are beta-carotene, an efficient anti-free-radical agent, and green tea extract, which has potent antioxidant activity, protects DNA, and can regenerate oxidized Vitamin E.

However, for those that are wondering, Heliocare is not a replacement for sunscreen and protective clothing. Even the Heliocare website states this, and even suggests that Heliocare should be taken with sunscreen and protective clothing to provide the best protection for the consumer.

Furthermore, Heliocare does not carry any known side effects. In fact, Polypodium leucotomos extract has been safely used for over 20 years! Heliocare has been published in many top medical journals, including The Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology. Additionally, Heliocare has been widely recommended by doctors all over the world.

Here is what the Heliocare website says their product does.

”
- Increased tolerance to the sun
- Reduced skin changes after chronic exposure to the sun
- Helps maintain your skin’s elasticity
- Provides cell protection in the epidermis
- Protects skin cell DNA”

However, the Heliocare website also says, “Do not use Polypodium leucotomos extracts during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Heliocare supplements should not be taken if you are on Digoxin or any other medicines used to treat heart failure. Also note that there have been no specific studies in patients under the age of 18. Consult with your doctor first before allowing your children to use Heliocare pills.”
