Natural Health Solutions For Your Children

By Dr Michael Fitzpatrick

Growing up as a child there was a statement that was spoken to me that cannot be forgotten. When you live in the solutions, your problems will go away. You all kill me when you go to a doctor for a type of remedy or benefit. That event is the height of arrogance and hypocrisy, or maybe extreme ignorance. Perhaps you simply are brain washed from too many commercials and fake shows depicting that venue as one of health.

There was a great article recently published by Dr. Mercola sharing the exploits of Dr. Robert Rowen. Dr. Rowen is a graduate of one of the finest medical schools on the planet. He is more so known for introducing through legislation the first ever laws that protect a physician for using natural remedies. These are my words and paraphrased so may not be exactly correct and will link his article and video recently done down in the author box. His take on the drug companies is strict. When they knew that one of their drugs was dangerous and kept it on the market anyway, is called murder.

What is so very amazing to me is the absence of common sense when seeing a physician. When you see them come into the office you have been waiting and the nurse has likely already done most of the work checking you for symptoms. Now here comes the doctor with questions, not answers. They ask you what your symptoms are. Do they find out anything at all about you or your life? Are you ever asked about nutrition and diet and how much water you drink daily? How about what kind of water do you drink? Is it live or dead or worse, distilled? If your doctor asks you to try a new drug, you are being asked to promote unproven drugs with zero science behind it practices. Are you crazy?

The three or four minute office visit quickly wrapped up with a decision to write a prescription for a petrochemical pill called medicine that will repress your symptoms, not cure your problem is given and on to the next person. Dr. Rowen has spoken in front of thousands of medical doctors and each time pulls out a one hundred dollar bill and offers it to the audience to the first physician who can prove that drugs and medications of any kind can resolve any health issue. He still maintains possession of those original hundred bucks.

The three building blocks of health according to Dr. Rowen are nutrition, elimination of toxins, and stress. Many of you reading this may be living in a state of malnutrition. One of our kids success is they have never eaten fast food of any kind. We don't own or ever eat any food that has been in a microwave oven. The best was to think of that is eating radiated food. Does that even make sense to you? If you are the person who grabs a pastry with coffee and eats fast food then consumes a microwave dinner or goes out to eat, you are someone who needs help now. So may your kids. They are not fat and obese due to hereditary reasons; genetics do not work that way. Your children are obese because they eat at the same table or food you do.

Most Americans who are obese and fat are actually toxic. Your body is craving nutrients and since you are not giving it any, your body is storing everything you foolishly put into it. One step you can take now is starting to eat live food. Eating a vine ripened fruit or vegetable that is organic is the best place to start. Maybe it is time to go to your local farmers market. Start one if there isn't any nearby. Sadly I can say most Americans have never drunk live water. Non chlorinated water is a great start. There is a world wide website called find a spring you may use to locate this vital resource near you for free.

Many of you may not know that when you dump toxins often you feel worse before you feel better. Your body has been storing your toxins in your fat cells and when it begins to release these dangers, you feel the effects. Not to worry, your body that already has repaired itself many times knows how much of the toxins it can dump at a time. My suggestion is to remember how long it takes you to walk into the woods, is usually the same amount of time it takes to walk back out. If you have microwave mentality you are in for some challenges.

We don't waste time and money in a something that sucks the life out of people.

Great Natural Remedies For Dry Feet

By Alex Greenwood II  

Often, due to the dry, cold winter weather, our feet become dry, cracked or callused. This common problem can escalate from red, itchy and blotchy skin to painful cracks and calluses in the heels which in turn can lead to infections.

Unlike the rest of the skin on our body, our feet don't have oil glands which naturally dry our feet out. In order to keep our feet from completely drying out on their own, we rely on the sweat glands of our feet to provide natural skin moisturizing. Most people, especially seniors and diabetics require extra attention when it comes to foot care.

Just like the rest of our body, our skin dries out more during the winter because of the cold temperatures and the dry heat of home and office heating systems. Using non-moisturizing soap along with having very hot baths and showers also contributes to dry skin. There are also medical conditions such as diabetes, psoriasis and eczema which will exacerbate skin that is already dry. Other natural enemies of our feet can be age and spending too much time in the sun or walking on hot, dry surfaces.

As mentioned, there is a wide range of severities with different symptoms and remedies for each. Mild symptoms can range from itchiness and red, rough or peeling skin to calluses and cracks or fissures in our heels. Rashes are quite common, usually brought on by scratching due to the itching. When our feet get to the point of cracking, additional complications may arise. Walking can become difficult and spending time on your feet may have to be limited. More serious skin conditions may develop, such as psoriasis or dermatitis which may have to be treated with prescription creams or drugs.

If your feet are at the mild stage of dryness there are many natural ways to relieve the unpleasantness of dry feet.

You can add all sorts of things to a warm foot bath to help soften your feet and get rid of dry, dead skin through exfoliation.

Lemon juice works well because the acidity of the lemon helps dissolve the dry skin for easy removal with foot brush or loofa. Soak for 10 minutes, dry then exfoliate.

Add to your foot bath a cap full of baby shampoo along with a cup of white vinegar. Or try a few tablespoons of Epsom salts or baking soda, or a cup of milk.

A great natural moisturizer can be made by combining olive oil and lemon juice, along with a couple of drops of lavender, or which every type of essential oil you prefer. This mixture can be made by the batch and stored in a container for everyday use. Just be sure to shake it before application.

For relief while you sleep, slather on a mixture of Vaseline and lemon juice, then don a pair of socks (so you don't stain your bedding) and leave on overnight.

you're sitting in front of the TV, slather on a banana mash and sit with your feet up for half an hour, then rinse.

The natural healing recipe that I like best is an overnight deep moisturizer. Before bed, first soak your feet in Epsom salts, then butter up your feet with cocoa butter and wrap in a plastic bag (the ones from the produce department in your grocery store work great). You might want to also put on a pair of light socks to help keep the plastic wrap in place.You'll see a difference the next morning, but keep doing it for 3 days in a row for best results, then whenever necessary.

If your dry feet do not improve after following these tips for a few weeks, perhaps you should consult your doctor. He/she may refer you to a podiatrist for further medical assistance. It is a podiatrist that you should see and not a dermatologist, as many people believe since podiatrists are trained for skin conditions specifically for the feet.
