ARTICLE - The Witch Hunt for “Alternative” Medicine Practitioners
Dear Readers:
Article on Big Pharma and "alternative" medical care. Link to the complete article provided at the end of this excerpt.
Old wives tales and recipes for remedies from your
grandmother is woven into the fabric of most lives. Many of us grew up with
parents who attempted a home cure before buying medicine or (heaven forbid) making
an appointment with the doctor.
A couple of generations ago, the average population didn’t
seek out a doctor unless it was clear that it was a serious illness and had exhausted
all efforts at handling the problem at home. When doctors weren’t
available, or affordable, families sought relief in what is now referred to as
holistic medicine or “alternative” medicine.
“Alternative” Medicine is Not Wicked
Before we begin, let’s look at the actual terms being used,
shall we? Specifically, the terms “alternative” medicine and “traditional”
medicine. Hmmm… the definition of “traditional” is “something that is
long-established and time-honored.” Since herbs, foods, roots, and
other natural remedies have been used for millennia, I would contend
that natural medicine should actually be considered to be “traditional” whereas
drug-intensive medicine (which has only been used for a century or two), should
actually be considered the “alternative” medicine.
Do you see how the phrase “he who defines the terms wins
the argument” is true? By convincing the world that drug-intensive medicine
is actually “traditional” medicine, Big Pharma has re-defined the term and
persuades people across the globe that this type of medicine is the gold
standard when in reality it is not.
Now, I am not asserting that modern medicine is bad. It is
indisputable that incredible advances in medical technology have saved
millions of lives from suffering and death. There is no doubt that
many doctors and scientists enter their fields with the goal of helping others.
You want to trust your doctor. You want to believe that the pill they want
you to try will make you feel better.
However, we’ve become blind to a very dangerous trend.
Too many of us listen to the “professional” and assume that this doctor has our
(the patient’s) best interests at heart. As the doc listens to the
problem, nods with very little thought, reaches for the prescription pad, and
sends you on your way… confidence dwindles.
To make matters worse, a growing majority of patients now ask for drugs by name. They
know the one they want based off a commercial seen on television. It’s the one
that’s going to take care of the problem they didn’t even know they had.
Giving Up Power Over Your Health
Over the last several decades, there is a frightening "profit over Patient" approach that is literally changing the way we live and take care of our bodies.
Giving Up Power Over Your Health
Over the last several decades, there is a frightening "profit over Patient" approach that is literally changing the way we live and take care of our bodies.
When did we stop even trying? How did we get here? Why do we
now run to our doctors begging for pills to handle every little ailment that
appears? What has changed that made our thinking go from natural to
pharmaceutical?
- Eat all the junk you want… here’s a pill for high blood pressure.
- Don’t exercise at all… here’s a pill for obesity.
- That stress is no big deal… here’s a pill to alter your mood.
- Gobble up that sugar… we have your insulin ready.
- Smoke and fake-tan and ingest known toxins… chemotherapy will fix you.

ARTICLE ON THE TRUTH ABOUT CHOLESTEROL LEVELS & CANCER MOST MDs DON'T KNOW
Dear Readers:
Most of you know that I was diagnosed with breast cancer last year. I decided to be very pro-active about my health care and recovery. Thus, I read and research a lot about cancer and how a healthy immune system is prime in prevention of cancer. Here is another excerpt from an article about cholesterol and cancer that you will find interesting. The link to the whole article is provided below the excerpt.
Article
Summary
- Cholesterol is one of the most important molecules in your body and serves many functions including: cell membrane integrity and function; production of vitamin D; digestion; the precursor to hormones such as testosterone, estrogen, progesterone, and cortisol.
- The truth is that total cholesterol has very little to do with living and dying. Studies confirm that between 160 and 260, there is very little difference is mortality.
- Your perfect cholesterol level is unique to you and will be different from your best friend, your spouse, and your neighbor.
- LDL has been considered the “bad” cholesterol and HDL the “good” cholesterol, but this version of the story is false. Humans and animals alike make LDL and HDL. Both serve the immune system and transport vital nutrients (like cholesterol and fat soluble vitamins) for a reason.
- If your doctor is still measuring total cholesterol, ask for advanced lipid testing. You need to know the number of particles and the size of the particles which is much more relevant than total cholesterol, total LDL and total HDL.
- Here is a Top 10 list to achieve perfect cholesterol numbers for YOU:
· Eat organic Paleo foods (real, whole
foods)
· Get sleep
· Get sunshine
· Get exercise
· Get spinal sublaxations adjusted by a
chiropractor
· Get hydrated
· Get grounded
· Get away from environmental pollutants
· Get evidence-based supplements
· Get advanced testing. Total cholesterol
is “old school” medicine. You need to know LDL and HDL particle number and
size.

HELPFUL HOUSEHOLD HINT - HOW TO CLEAN BAKED ON FOOD FROM POTS AND PANS
Dear Readers:
I think we have all been there with baked on foods and the dilemma on how to remove it without damaging our cookware. Below is a couple of solutions to the this problem, and I would like to add one more that I have found useful.
If I am dealing with metal cookware, I first remove as much of the food as I can. Using one of the solutions below may help with this. Then I sprinkle a good amount of baking soda in the bottom of the pan (NO water at this point). Next, I use a stainless steel scrubbie and with a little water I scrub the bottom of the pan, creating a paste with the baking soda. Not only does this in most cases get rid of the rest of the food, but it also helps to remove any stains. All of this without any scrubbing product chemicals like soft soap or a scouring powder. Further, the nice thing about baking soda is that it is easy on your hands, and rinses completely away.
If I am cleaning glass or something like corning ware, I following the same procedure, but instead of using a stainless steel scrubbie I use something like a scotchbrite scrubbie.
