If a lady starts feeling dull pains even before the expected date of periods which slowly extends to her right side, lower back and thighs, then she is not supposed to overlook as menstrual cramps. If the pains get repeated few days prior to periods or get worse, then pain relievers might not solve the problem; one must consult the Doctor and go for an ultrasound.

Doctor may diagnose an Ovarian Cyst and prescribe regular medicines.

There have been number of cases where the prescribed medicines, including birth control pills, do not help in providing any relief to the patient and the Cyst keeps on getting larger.

The patient gets stressed and scared, thoughts of cancer run through her head. Every night she has to face unbearable pain and worry about the cyst growing on her ovary.

Prescription drugs and pain relievers may temporarily mask the symptoms, but the ovarian cyst will still be there and will most likely grow faster. It is a well know fact that some ovarian cysts become problematic if not treated.

Conventional treatment of ovarian cysts almost always leads to surgery. These surgeries are risky and unnecessary and sometime your doctor may decide to remove your ovary or your entire uterus, leaving you unable to bare children ever.

Your body has a built in system to warn you something is wrong. Ovarian cysts and the pain they cause is a desperate alarm from your body telling you something is wrong inside.

Conventional treatments are designed to shut off your bodies warning alarm, the most dangerous part of muffling your natural alarm system is that what’s wrong is almost always getting worse. It’s as if your house is on fire and you are awakened by the fire alarm, but instead of calling the fire department, you just shut off the alarm and go back to sleep.

Your body is, in effect, telling you, “Hey! Wake Up! You have a problem!” By using drugs to muffle your body’s alarm system, you are replying, “Shut up! Don’t bother me!” The only way to cure your Ovarian Cysts is by working with your body.

There is an natural way of eliminating Ovarian Cyst and achieve permanent relief. Users have reported to gain the following results:

• Their ovarian cysts shrunk rapidly
• The unbearable pain was gone within a few short days
• None of them had to go through the frightening surgery that was so easy for their doctors to recommend
• No one who followed the program ever experience a single cyst again

Other unexpected benefits also occurred:

• Everyone started losing weight almost effortlessly
• Their menstrual cycles become more consistent
• Their emotions become more balanced, and they felt happier and calmer
• Their sex life improved
• Other, unrelated illnesses started to reverse

What’s even more incredible is that it works on almost all types of Ovarian Cysts, all levels of severity and with women of any age.

Note: There is only one very rare exception, which is a particular form of dermoid cysts where hard formations are present such as bone and teeth. This rare type of cyst must be removed by surgery.

Once, we were advised to cut out caffeine. But the latest research shows a daily cup could be a lifesaver.

Long-term studies have finally showed the health benefits of the roasted bean. So here are some reasons why drinking coffee early and often is good for you:

1. Coffee is as hydrating as plain water.
It’s a complete myth that a normal cup of coffee is a diuretic. So you can count your morning cup of coffee as part of your daily water requirement. It’s only when your drink contains more than 550mg of caffeine that you’ll start to produce dehydrating levels of urine, according to the review

2. It probably cuts your risk of heart disease, and certainly doesn’t raise the chances of a heart attack
People with high blood pressure commonly avoid coffee as a stimulant that might make their condition worse. Yet a series of large clinical trials show that the opposite is true. University of California cardiologists studied the 10 biggest trials of heart disease and recently concluded there was no evidence that coffee increases the risk of heart attack, sudden death or abnormal heart rhythms.

3. It cuts the risk of some cancers and has no adverse effect on others
There’s even a suggestion that coffee-drinking can prevent cancer. Japanese researchers have reported in 2005, in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute, that regular consumers of two cups of coffee a day had half the risk of developing liver cancer compared with those who never drank it.

4. The cream in your coffee more than offsets the slight reduction in calcium-absorption that caffeine appears to cause
Caffeine does bring about a slight reduction in the absorption of calcium in the bones, and some scientists have claimed that people who drink coffee regularly have a higher risk of bone loss and fractures. This is probably because coffee drinkers are less likely to have milky drinks, according to bone biologist Dr Robert Heaney of Creighton University, Omaha. He says that the small caffeine-related increased risk of osteoporosis is easily offset by adding a couple of tablespoons of milk per cup.

5. It makes you feel good
It’s not imaginary: a decent cup of coffee improves your sense of well-being, happiness, energy, alertness and sociability, according to research at John Hopkins School of Medicine in Baltimore. You have to drink the stuff regularly, however. Having the odd cup is likely to cause anxiety and a feeling of being unwell.
Those with a coffee habit, however, may even be better protected from potentially lethal depression.

6. It helps sports men and women recover from extreme exercise
New research has shown that adding a few cups of coffee to the carbohydrates eaten by athletes following exercise boosts muscle recovery by up to 60 per cent – apparently solving a problem that has foxed sports physiologists until now. The study, published in the Journal of Applied Physiology in July, has found a solution to a problem that has resulted in increasingly complex dietary schemes designed to help athletes recover faster.

7. It appears to offer protection from diseases
There are suggestions that a couple of cups of coffee daily reduces the risk of Alzheimer’s as well as Parkinson’s disease, and possibly diabetes. Caffeine appears to protect the brain from the harmful effects of cholesterol, which is involved in the destruction of the brain cells that leads to Alzheimer’s. Other research has shown that people who drink four or more cups of coffee a day are less likely to develop Parkinson’s disease, and that coffee intake appears to be linked to a lower risk of Type 2 diabetes.

But don’t overdo it…

*Coffee is no ‘cure’ for a hangover

The water in coffee will help to rehydrate you, and the caffeine will give your brain a jolt, but the overall effect is likely to make you feel worse. A strong coffee will irritate further your already delicate stomach, and the increased blood flow to the brain can increase the pounding in your head. The favourite hangover remedy of a cocktail of black coffee and paracetamol is potentially toxic, scientists reported in the journal Chemical Research in Toxicology last year. Caffeine triples the amount of a toxic by-product of paracetamol being broken down, increasing the risk of potentially fatal liver damage.

How much caffeine?
*Cup of tea 47mg
*Cup of filter coffee 95mg
*Can of cola 35mg
*Diet Coke 47mg

Baking soda can cut seconds off speed.

Scientists have proven what athletes have been claiming for years - that Granny’s old cure-all, bicarbonate of soda, can enhance performance.

‘Soda-doping’, as it is known amongst professional sportsmen, can have a significant effect on endurance and speed.

Baking soda appears to work best to enhance speed. A study at Loughborough University found that of nine swimmers who took baking soda before an event, eight reduced their times, the Times reports.
Jonathan Folland, who led the study, said: ‘Essentially, sodium bicarbonate is an alkali substance that increases the pH of the blood.
‘This seems to reduce and offset the acidity produced in the muscles during intense, anaerobic exercise that produces lactic acid most quickly, such as fast running or swimming.’

Sodium bicarbonate, as anyone whose taken it for indigestion knows, reduces acids - helping the body to deal with the acidic waste products produced during exercise, that tire us more quickly.
But the substance isn’t a miracle-worker - shaving seconds, not minutes, off performance time - so that only the most proficient athletes will notice a difference.

The swimmers in the Loughborough study cut 1.5 seconds from their 200m time. Which is hardly significant for most of us who take a leisurely few laps up and down the pool.

A study at the American College of Sports Medicine found that runners could also improve performance with baking soda.

But the substance - used before modern times as a household cleaning agent - can cause upset stomachs, and tastes foul. ‘It is not dangerous, but it tastes appalling,’ warns Dr Folland.
He says that only those who are very serious about sport should try the white powder, which may cause diarrhea.

Article by Daily Mail Reporter
16th August 2008

The government has suggested that more and more people are turning to meditation, herbs, yoga and other forms of alternative medicine because of lack of results with conventional care. One of the largest U.S. studies conducted on alternative medicine found that over one-third of American adults practiced some type of non-conventional medicine in 2002.

The report was based on information from 31,044 interviews with adults aged 18 and older.

Researchers believed the results of the study pointed to the fact that more people are using alternative medicine. Also, it was apparent that an increasing number of people have turned to natural products like herbs or enzymes to help with chronic or recurring pain.

Experts suggested that people should not neglect conventional medicine in those instances where it has been proven to help certain conditions and also recommended consulting a doctor before practicing alternative medicine. Experts were concerned about the number of people turning to alternative medicine because they felt they were no longer able to afford the costs of conventional care.

Experts cautioned people who assumed that just because a product was natural that it was automatically safe to use. An example they cited was the 6.6 percent of people in the study found to use the supplement kava, which has been linked to liver disease.

Significant findings from the study include:

• 62 percent of the participants used some form complementary and alternative medicine over the past year for a specific medical condition, broken down as follows:

# Prayer for own health, 43 percent
# Prayer by others for the respondent’s health, 24 percent
# Natural products (such as herbs, other botanicals, and enzymes), 19 percent
# Deep breathing exercises, 12 percent
# Participation in prayer group for own health, 10 percent
# Meditation, 8 percent
# Chiropractic care, 8 percent
# Yoga, 5 percent
# Massage, 5 percent
# Diet-based therapies, 4 percent

• 45 percent turned to some kind of prayer to help them heal in the past 12 months
• There was a higher tendency for women to use complementary and alternative medicine than men
• 28 percent of the participants felt that conventional treatment would not help them

There are many ways to lose weight. Some of them are deadly, dangerous and stupid.

It’s unfortunate how many lies and misinformation there are out there on websites and in the guruish diet books. But it’s this kind of mind crap that keeps people in the failure mode.

Human physiology is that meat eating is not in any way natural or healthy for humans. Sure eating meat may not be the worst thing you can do, but its miles from ideal.

What about the bad breath and all of the supplements you have to take on this diet.

Have you ever thought about the fact that there’s no fiber in meat? Will cause some heavy duty constipation compared to eating your natural diet of fresh, ripe and raw fruits and vegetables.
Anyone who’s been eating cooked food for years is much sicker than he or she can imagine. And it takes time for your body to adapt to eating raw fruits and vegetables.

There’s a transition and a heavy detox period and so it can take you some time to adapt to the new fuels and fibers that are in raw foods but not cooked foods. Or for all I know you have problems with apples. Many people do. It’s not a fruit native to our natural habitat of the tropics.

There’s no problem in eating fruit but just that your body is not yet adjusted to eating fruit. If your body had to make adaptations to eat the cooked matter that goes into your body it will take some time to adjust back to a more natural diet as well.

I don’t get tired when I eat fruit unless I didn’t sleep enough the night before. Then I’d be tired no matter what I ate because eating requires a lot of energy and if you haven’t slept enough, eating fruit or anything for that matter can make you tired.

There are billions of people eating fruit and I doubt they’re all getting tired after eating them. Why would they continue if eating fruit if it was always making them tired?

This again, is something that you’re body will adapt to over time. After all the most prominent and first human taste bud to develop is the taste for sweet. We are born with a sweet tooth. It’s natural for us to eat fruit but far from it to eat meat.

Well this is just one perspective. We all have to eat. Some of us just eat lower on the food chain. But eventually, we’ll be eaten by the bacteria, fungi, worms and plants after we’re dead. Most of us eat vegetables and we have to kill the plant in order to do that as well.

If I believed eating meat was my natural diet, I’d have no problem doing so. I eat this way for health reasons. And I don’t like or enjoy harming animals, but that was not my primary motivation.

I just want to experience peak happiness, peak performance and peak living in Superbeing style. Eating 100% raw is the fast track to a super-powerful, Superhero living.

So get your mind straight. Either you believe we should eat meat and that it’s natural and healthy for you, or you don’t.

Sure if you eat too many calories of fruit or meat or anything else you’ll put on weight. But it’s so hard to overeat most fruits and much easier to overeat on the dense calories of cooked food.

In truth for every 100 calories of fat eaten only 3 calories are burned in converting it to body fat. Yet for every 100 calories of fruit eaten it takes about 27 calories or so to turn it into body fat.

Therefore even if you manage to overeat calories from fruit — which is very hard to do by the way — your body will rather burn the excess calories than going through the extra effort of converting it into fat.
I’ve Never Seen An Obese Fruit Eater

Just realize I’ve never seen an exclusive raw fruit and vegetable eating obese person. When you eat 100% raw and eat lots of fruits and vegetables you’ll simply have to lose weight. It’s actually hard to put on fat.

Fruits and vegetables are the ideal dieting foods. They are the highest nutrients per calorie and they are the lowest calorie foods per weight or volume. So you get to eat way more food on a raw food diet as well.

For some people it takes a bit of time because their body is putting healing as a higher priority than weight loss. But over time you’ll start to see the amazing effects of what can happen to your health and in that same regard weight loss.

Spreading honey on a diabetic ulcer could prevent the need to amputate an infected foot, researchers say.

A doctor at the University of Wisconsin who helped about half a dozen of her diabetic patients avoid amputation has launched a controlled trial to promote the widespread use of honey therapy.

The therapy involves squeezing a thick layer of honey onto the wound after dead skin and bacteria have been removed.

The honey kills bacteria because it is acidic and avoids the complication of bacterial resistance found with standard antibiotics, Jennifer Eddy, a professor at the University’s School of Medicine and Public Health, told AFP.

“This is a tremendously important issue for world health,” Eddy said.

Diabetics typically have poor circulation and decreased ability to fight infection and ulcers can be hard to treat. An amputation is performed every 30 seconds somewhere in the world, Eddy said.

“If we can prove that honey promotes healing in diabetic ulcers, we can offer new hopes for many patients, not to mention the cost benefit, and the issue of bacterial resistance. The possibilities are tremendous.”

Honey therapy is already used to treat bed sores in New Zealand and as an alternative form of medicine in Europe, but has largely been relegated to history books in the United States.

Eddy first heard of it in medical school when a professor commented that of all the ancient remedies, honey actually seemed to work when he tried it out in the laboratory.

She tried honey therapy as a last resort six years ago with a 79-year-old diabetic patient who had developed foot wounds resistant to standard treatments.

“I tried it only after everything else had failed and… we had essentially sent him home to die,” she said. “All antibiotics were stopped when we started honey, and his wounds rapidly healed.”

Eddy hopes to have the trial completed and the results published by 2008 or 2009.

Finally a simple solution for curing this dreaded disease.
Stop Cancer with Baking Soda - Sodium Bicarbonate,
Baking Soda is cheap, easy to come by, and very effective in restoring the body to good health.This goes beyond food and nutrition
- stop cancer with baking soda -latest research discovery.

Most of us are going to be surprised to find out that there is an oncologist in Rome Italy, Dr. Tullio Simoncini, destroying cancer tumors with sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) [1]. Sodium bicarbonate is safe, extremely inexpensive and unstoppably effective when it comes to cancer tissues. It’s an irresistible chemical, cyanide to cancer cells for it hits the cancer cells with a shock wave of alkalinity, which allows much more oxygen into the cancer cells than they can tolerate. Cancer cells cannot survive in the presence of high levels of oxygen. Sodium bicarbonate is, for all intent and purposes, an instant killer of tumors. Full treatment takes only days, as does another cancer treatment that heats the cancer cells with laser generated heat. (At bottom see combining ph shift with heat.)

The extracellular (interstitial) pH (pHe) of solid tumours is significantly more acidic compared to normal tissues [2].

Case one: A patient diagnosed with pulmonary neoplasm of the lung, underwent treatment with sodium bicarbonate, before submitting to surgery to remove part of the lung. Treatment consisted of sodium bicarbonate administered orally, by aerosol, and IV. After first treatment reduction of nodules and absorption was evident, and after 8 months was no longer visible at all. Treatments also reduced size of the liver and results were confirmed by both X-ray and CAT scan.
The IMVA recommends alkaline foods and sodium bicarbonate so that the pH of the blood remains high, which in turn means that the blood is capable of carrying more oxygen. This in turn keeps every cell in the body at peak efficiency and helps the cell eliminate waste products. Detoxification and chelation will proceed more easily and safely under slightly alkaline conditions. Increased urinary pH reduces oxidative injury in the kidney so it behooves us to work clinically with bicarbonate.

Case two: A nine-year-old child is hospitalized and diagnosed with Ewing’s Sarcoma on the right humerus. Despite several chemotherapy cycles’s surgery removed the humeral bone. Growth of three tumor masses continued despite continued efforts to stop progression. Sodium bicarbonate salts treatment was then started administered by catheter into the right sub-clavian artery in order to administer the salts (phleboclysis of 500 cc at five per cent) directly on the tumoral masses.

Of the 3 masses shown by the scographic scan of May 7, 2001, whose size is respectively:
a. 6.5 cm
b. 4.4 cm
c. 2.4 cm

After the sodium bicarbonate salts treatment only one tumor was left, with a size of only 1.5 cm, which is most likely residual scarring, as shown by the echography of September 10, 2001.

Case three: A 62-year-old patient undergoes surgery in December 1998 for endometrial adenocarcinoma, followed by successive cycles of radiotherapy and anti-hormone therapy. Following the thickening of the peritoneum and the growth of several lymph nodes due to carcinosis; from the clinical point of view, the patient’s condition decayed with the presence of exhaustion, general swelling, intestinal meteorism, irregularity of evacuation, steady feeling of heaviness and blood pressure instability. Treatment with a 5% sodium bicarbonate solution administered alternately thru an endoperitoneal catheter and via IV showed rapid improvement to a normal condition of health. A final CAT scan confirms the regression of the peritoneal carcinosis and a stabilization of the size of the lymph nodes when compared to the preceding year.

Sodium bicarbonate is the chemical compound with the formula NaHCO3. Sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) is commonly used as an antacid for short-term relief of stomach upset, to correct acidosis in kidney disorders, to make the urine alkaline during bladder infections and to minimize uric acid crystallization during gout treatment. Prescription sodium bicarbonate products are given by injection to treat metabolic acidosis and some drug intoxications. Sodium bicarbonate is available as a nonprescription medical as well as a general house hold item. It is also used with other non-prescription drugs for short-term treatment of various conditions to treat anything from fever to moderate pain.

Distilled water is not safe, it lacks bicarbonates and minerals and yes, it is acid forming to the body. Yet it is an excellent aid in detoxification and chelation for its purity pulls on toxicities in the body. Part of the reason why our body is acid is that it lacks enough bicarbonate necessary to neutralize the acid. Whenever the water lacks the proper bicarbonates to neutralize the water in distilled water your body basically becomes a little more acid. But we can easily treat distilled or reverse osmosis water by adding bicarbonate and magnesium and perhaps even some sodium thiosulfate. The conscious use of water favorably increases medical outcomes; often it even determines the prognosis. You cannot separate out hydration from pH. Dehydration would certainly push the body toward acidity.)

pH of the blood is the most important factor to determine the state of the microorganisms in the blood.

The closer the pH is to 7.35 - 7.45, the higher our level of health and well being and our ability to resist states of disease.

Fever is one of the body’s own defensive and healing forces, created and sustained for the deliberate purpose of restoring health. The high temperature speeds up metabolism, inhibits the growth of the invading virus or bacteria, and literally burns the enemy with heat. Fever is an effective protective and healing measure not only against colds and simple infections, but against such serious diseases as polio and cancer.

After going 10 - 12 hours overnight without food, energy reserves are low and your body and brain need fuel. What you choose to eat at breakfast can affect your mood, physical and mental performance, weight and your general and long term health.

Most nutritionists consider breakfast to be the most important meal of the day.

Researchers in Nottingham investigated the effects of skipping breakfast on energy metabolism and found that skipping breakfast led to higher cholesterol levels and lower insulin sensitivity both risk factors for cardiovascular disease.

Breakfast can help weight control
If you miss breakfast you are much more likely to get hungry mid morning and end up grabbing a snack that is high in calories and fat but low in nutrients and fiber. Studies show that children who regularly eat a cereal based breakfast are healthier and less likely to be overweight. In fact teenagers who ate breakfast cereals more than five times a week weighed less, had a smaller waist size and lower blood sugar levels than those who rarely ate cereal. Research among adults shows that people who eat breakfast are more likely to be within the ideal weight range than people who skip breakfast.

Breakfast can boost brain power
Several studies have shown that children who skip breakfast in the morning perform less well in problem solving tasks. Verbal fluency, creativity and the ability to recall newly acquired facts are similarly affected.

More than 1,300 children took part in an online study conducted by leading cognitive research unit, Cognitive Drug Research Ltd, as part of Farmhouse Breakfast Week 2004. The results clearly showed that children who eat breakfast have superior cognitive function and therefore pay more attention and respond more quickly to given tasks. Teachers in Scotland reported that concentration in class improved as a result of introducing breakfast clubs while the children said that it helped them enjoy school more.

But it is not just children that perform less well if they miss breakfast, other studies show that adults who ate breakfast tended to work faster, made fewer mistakes in logic tests and had better memory recall compared with breakfast skippers.

A healthy, balanced breakfast provides vital nutrients
Breakfast provides an important boost to our intake of vitamins, minerals and fiber, and studies show it can be difficult to make up on these nutrients if you miss the opportunity at breakfast. People who eat breakfast are more likely to meet the recommended intake for iron, calcium and B group vitamins than those who skip breakfast.

Breakfast helps keep us happy and healthy
A study carried out at the University of Cardiff suggests that breakfast eaters are less likely to suffer from colds and ‘flu.

Studies carried out at the University of Bristol examined the breakfast habits of 126 volunteers between the ages of 20 and 79 and assessed their mental health. The results revealed that, even taking into account that fact that breakfast eaters tended to have healthier lifestyles, those who ate breakfast everyday were less depressed less emotionally distressed and had lower perceived levels of stress compared with those who skipped the first meal of the day.

Diabetes can affect the eye in a number of ways. These usually
involve the fine network of blood vessels in the retina - the most
sever condition that can occur is Diabetic Retinopathy.

It involves the retina. This condition is very common in
people who have had diabetes for a long time. The doctor may be
able to see abnormalities in the eyes, but there is no threat to
the sight.

There are two types of diabetic retinopathy which can damage the
sight. Both involve the fine network of blood vessels in the
retina. They are described below.

Type 1 - Maculopathy

This happens when the blood vessels in the retina start to leak. If
the macula is affected, you will find that your central vision
gradually gets worse. You may find it difficult to recognize
people’s faces in the distance or to see details like small print.
The amount of central vision that is lost varies from person to
person. However everyday sight for getting around the house and
outside (navigation vision) will be preserved. It is quite rare for
someone with maculopathy to lose all their sight.

Type 2 - Proliferative diabetic retinopathy

Sometimes diabetes can cause the blood vessels in the retina to
become blocked. If this happens then new blood vessels form in the
eye. This is nature’s way of trying to repair the damage so that
the retina has a new blood supply.

Unfortunately these new blood vessels are weak. They are also in
the wrong place - growing on the surface of the retina and into the
vitreous jelly. As a result these blood vessels can bleed very
easily and cause scar tissue to form in the eye. The scarring pulls
and distorts the retina. When the retina is pulled out of position
this is called retinal detachment. This condition is rare than
background retinopathy and is more often found in people who have
been insulin dependent for many years. The new blood vessels will
rarely affect your vision, but their consequences, such as bleeding
or retinal detachment can cause your vision to get worse suddenly.
Your eyesight may become blurred and patchy as the bleeding
obscures part of your vision. Without treatment, total loss of
vision can happen in proliferative retinopathy.

*** With treatment most sight-threatening diabetic problems
can be revented if caught early enough.***

Although your vision may be good, changes can be taking place to
your retina that needs treatment. Most sight loss in diabetes is
preventable.:Early diagnosis is vital. You may have an eye examination every year. Do not wait until your vision has deteriorated to have an eye test.

Your family doctor or optometrist can examine for Diabetic Retinopathy.

Remember, however, that if your vision is getting worse, this does
not necessarily mean you have diabetic retinopathy. It may simply
be a problem that can be corrected by glasses.

You can Normalize your blood sugar level and prevent retinopathy

Warren Buffett never flies in a private jet – even though he owns the largest private jet company. He also lives in a small three-bedroom house he bought 50 years ago, and keeps himself occupied by playing online bridge.

It is refreshing, and inspiring, to hear of a man with all the wealth in the world who still believes that happiness lies not with riches but within yourself.

You, too, may become immensely happier by integrating some of the following wisdom into your own life.

Secret #1: Happiness comes from within.
“In my adult business life I have never had to make a choice of trading between professional and personal. I tap-dance to work, and when I get there it’s tremendous fun.” – Warren Buffett

If you do what you love and love what you do, you’ll naturally be productive.

Secret #2: Find happiness in simple pleasures.“I have simple pleasures. I play bridge online for 12 hours a week.” – Warren Buffett
