Natural Remedies For Bed-Wetters.

      I had a lady come to me and said that she had a problem with Bed-Wetters and over the years she had to cope with it and yet she had not found a way to solve the problem. She then asked me for suggestions. The first thing I said to her was to give her children 4 fl. oz. of pure Cranberry Juice before they went to bed. This Juice controls the bladder and it helps you to sleep all night without wetting the bed. She asked if this worked on my children? I told her that I did nor discover this Remedy until after my children had learned to overcome this bad habit. I told her that I had read several sources where people claimed that pure Cranberry Juice does really work. Also if you add real lemon juice to the Cranberry Juice it will double it's properties and it is great on your Kidneys.

 1. So the first Remedy is to give 4 fl. oz. of pure Cranberry Juice to the Bed-Wetter before they go to bed. Like I said up above this Juice will control your bladder so that you will not have to Pee during the night. Not all Remedies will work for each person, but you could try this and if it works, hey that is great. But if it does not work then you can try something else. But from what I have researched, Cranberry Juice is not only great for children but it is also good for older folks too.
   

 2. A lady who was a Bed-Wetter both as a child and an adult discovered that eating HONEY before going to bed helped her to stay dry all night long. She got this information from a friend and guess what? It did work! From that time fourth she kept plenty of honey around the house and this Remedy also works for children. Children really like this Remedy because it is sweet. This lady eats a teaspoon of honey in the morning, one teaspoon at noon, one teaspoon in the afternoon and another before she goes to bed. The honey causes the body to secrete more ADH Hormones and this slows down or stops the urination.

 3. We used the old fashioned method on our children and it help them to control Bed-Wetting. Number one. You can get up every night and take them to the bathroom. This most generally would stop the Bed-Wetting. Also no water was drank after 6 PM. A third way was to set an alarm to go off each night and the child would train himself to get up and go to the bathroom. You would also teach him to set his own alarm all by himself. After a while they will get up on their own without the alarm and go to the bathroom.

 4. A Chiropractor claims that there is a bone in the pubic area of children that does not form right  while the child is growing up and if not corrected the child will Pee the bed. But if the Chiropractor makes a simple adjustment that causes the bone to sit like it is supposed to do then the child will not be wetting the bed anymore. I do believe that this is possible because when my children had ear drainage problems, a simple adjustment from the Chiropractor drained the ears and a Medical Doctor did not have to put tubes in his ears which save us a few thousand dollars.

 5. Taking Corn Silk in capsules before going to bed at night, this will stop a child from wetting the  bed.

 6. By not letting children drink milk from the time they get home from school to the time that they  go to bed, this will stop children from wetting the bed.

 7. One person claimed that " Orange Blossom Honey " was way more effective in stopping bed- Wetters then that of using regular honey. This is also true with Blueberry and Blackberry Honey.

 8. This is for grown-ups. Do not drink Beer after 6 PM. Beer will make you want to Pee all night  long.

 9. Cut way down on the Sugar intake for children. This includes the drinking of Soda Pops. Way too  much Sugar in their diets will cause them to be Bed-Wetters.

10. Feed a child a whole white Walnut, they look like a Brain, and a tablespoon of Raisins. This will  stop a child from wetting the bed.

11. Giving a child a Bone Meal Tablet after lunch and a 2nd one after supper, this will stop them
 from wetting the bed.

12. The lack of the Mineral called Magnesium in a child's body can cause them to be Bed-Wetters.  Have them take a pill that has both Vitamins and Magnesium.

13. When you Pee in the toilet do this: Pee,Stop... Pee, Stop... Pee, Stop...Do this until the urine is  gone. This will strengthen the Bladder Muscle and you will Pee less often during the night. If you   can teach a child to do this it will help them to control Bed-Wetting. This also works very well with older men.

14. Blueberries are expensive to buy in a store. But if you live in an area where Blueberries or  Blackberries grow wild all around you, you can gather them and eat them before going to bed.
 This will help to control Bed-Wetting. The eating of these berries will also cure Diarrhea. They
 are high in Pectin and that is what does the trick.

15. It is suggested that you take your child to a Clinical Hypnotherapist. These people can teach a
 child to overcome their Bed-Wetting problem in just 2 or 3 visits.

16. One Doctor suggested that you tie a towel around the child's loins with the knot in the front
 before the child goes to bed. The reason is unknown but in some children this method did cure
 Bed-Wetting.

      For best results try 3 or 4 of these suggestions all at the same time. These suggestions are safe to use for both children and adults.

      Every child is different and not every Remedy will work for everyone. If one does not seem to work then try another one. One lady claimed that regular Honey would not work for her kids. But she discovered that the Orange Blossom Honey worked very well in helping her children into overcoming their Bed-Wetting problems.

      There are 16 methods that are suggested here and Parents who are using them on their kids, they claim that many of them do work and they are providing a dry night for their children for the first time in years. Like I have already said that these Remedies will work for Adults also. So give it a try! You have nothing to loose!

Cures And Remedies For Parkinson's Disease.

      Parkinson's Disease is another unusual disease that Doctors have been struggling in finding the hows, the whys and the whats. The Doctors have no cures for Parkinson's and a lot of people have died from it. In the Doctors eyes there is not much hope, but from the " Natural Worlds " stand point there are some great possibilities on the positive side.
      First of all Parkinson's is a Brain Disease. The Brain is the Transmission of our body. Or you might say it is the computer that runs our system. Most of us have no problems in moving our fingers, our hands, our arms, our legs or our head. A person who has Parkinson's Disease has a hard time connecting his Brain to all his body parts. Sometimes they move just fine and then at other times their body parts will not move at all. For some reason the Brain won't do it's job. Then suddenly the body parts will start moving again. It must be really scary to the individual when this begins to happen. Younger people do get this disease but it is more common in older people. Body parts in older people are beginning to wear out and so is the Brain. But there is Hope for those who have Parkinson's Disease and there is Hope for all of us who do not have this disease. There are some good steps we can all practice that show positive results.
      Michael J. Fox was told that he has Parkinson's Disease. He is an actor in the movie called "Back To The Future" movies 1, 2, and 3, and he stars with Doc Brown. Fox has started a program called the " Michael J. Fox Foundation " and it's purpose is to find a cure for Parkinson's Disease. But as I have already stated there are some positive possibilities for those who have this Disease and they are found in the " Natural World ".
      Let's talk about the causes of Parkinson's Disease. As we grow older our body parts begin to wear down starting at about age 50. From this point on we will have less blood circulating through the Brain and there will be also less oxygen also. Food that we eat that is high in antioxidants and Fiber will greatly help the Brain to function normally. We all live in a day and age where much of the foods that we eat has been precooked and all we have to do is heat it up in a microwave oven. This food has NO FIBER in it and no vitamins and minerals except man made vitamins. This food also has preservatives in it to help it to keep longer. This food has no antioxidants and it will make more Free Radicals which is bad for your brain. On the other hand foods that are high in antioxidants and fiber,  they will kill off Free Radicals and they will provide oxygen to the brain. They are fresh fruits, vegetables and the eating of whole grains.
      Another factor that triggers off Parkinson's Disease is not having enough good cholesterol surrounding our Brain. You need a lot of good Cholesterol around the Brain in order for it to function normally.  It is like having oil in a car motor. If you have the right amount than it runs OK. But if the oil gets too low then you will have motor problems. The same goes for our Brains by having a lot of good cholesterol around it to make it also function OK. Guess what food will provide good cholesterol around the Brain? The eating of lots of eggs for breakfast fried in real butter or coconut oil. All three of these foods will help to make good cholesterol.
      I have already talked about foods that are high in antioxidants and fiber that they are excellent in preventing Parkinson's Disease and it will help all of those who have the disease right now into bringing it under control. Plus this kind of food will kill off Free Radicals. Now what are these foods that have antioxidants and lots of Fiber?
      Remember this rule of thumb and that is to eat all the colors of the rainbow everyday in the way of fruits and vegetables. The colors that have the highest in antioxidants are Red and Orange. The Orange colored fruits and vegetables are not only high in Vitamin C but they also have a lot of Beta Carotene and the body will turn this into pure Vitamin A. A list of Orange colored foods are Oranges, Sweet Potatoes, Orange Colored Squash, Carrots, Apricots, Peaches, Nectarines, Cam-Cots and the tropical fruit called Papaya. These are the most common on the list. The natural Red foods are Tomatoes, Watermelons, Beets, Strawberries, Red Currants, Cranberries and raspberries just to name a few. Whole grains are rich in Fiber also and so are Dried Beans that are made into chili and bean soup. As a general rule any vegetable that is grown in an organic garden is high in antioxidants and Fiber. Flax Seed is the highest of all the grains in antioxidants but it is a natural laxative and it must be eaten sparingly.
      Have you ever heard the saying that  " An Apple a day will keep the doctor away. " ? Well, it is true with a Banana also. But a Banana has more Vitamins and Minerals then the Apple does. So the saying should say " A Banana and or Apple a day will keep the doctor away ". Both of these foods are fighters against Parkinson's Disease. They are both high in Fiber. They have a lot of Pectin in them. They are both high in a mineral called Potassium and they are both antioxidant foods that will kill Free Radicals. So not only are they both good Brain food but they are also good for the Heart and they will help to lower the blood pressure. From now on eat Bananas or Apples everyday.
      There are other supplements that are very helpful towards Parkinson's Disease. These are----Garlic Oil----which brings balance to the body. It kills Free Radicals and it provides good circulation though out the whole body. Peppermint Tea is also an excellent body balancer. Ginkgo Biloba in capsules----will put more Oxygen in the Brain and it will boost up your memory power. Cayenne Pepper in capsules----will increase circulation throughout the whole body. It will automatically lower your Blood Pressure. It kills off Free Radicals and it will kill Cancer cells. This is also a high antioxidant food. After you eat half of a big meal. Swallow a Cayenne Pepper pill and then eat the other half of the meal. Drink Molasses and Milk every day. Put a teaspoon of Grandma's Molasses into 16oz. of milk and stir well. Molasses has 9 minerals and Vitamin B-6. This is an excellent natural drink that is good for the Brain and the Heart. Eat lots of White Walnuts. The nut inside the shell looks like a Brain. This is excellent Brain food.
      So far we are on the right path into preventing Parkinson's Disease or we are finding ways to control it. This antioxidant food is providing us with lots of oxygen to the brain. Another way to provide oxygen is to exercise our bodies by doing jump rope, jumping jacks, hopping around like a rabbit, jogging or walking really fast. All of these will get your heart to beat real fast taking in a lot of oxygen into your lungs and into your Brain.
      Now how do we get better blood circulation to our Brains. The exercise listed above will do the trick. Another way is to massage the top of your head with your finger tips every day for 5 minutes or more. Not only will this provide more circulation to the Brain but it will stop most of your headaches. Would you believe that I have not had a headache in 20 years. Running both hands down the back of the neck for a few minutes will provide good blood circulation to the Brain. Another way is to put both feet on the floor on ice packs and then lay down on the bed for a half an hour. If you had a Migraine Headache it will be gone. You know I would almost bet that vegetarians rarely get Parkinson's Disease or Cancer because their diets are always full of antioxidants and Fiber.
      Another factor into controlling Parkinson's Disease is to take Vitamin E, 1200 units or more will do the trick. Turkey Red Winter Wheat when it is freshly ground, it has a lot of Vitamin E in it and so does olive oil. But to make sure that you are getting plenty of Vitamin E buy it in any store that has Vitamins and Minerals. Vitamin E Oil is also good for Burns, Wounds and ear aches.
      OK! Do you now feel that there could be hope for you as far as it goes for Parkinson's Disease? Everyone who has Parkinson's Disease should be seeing a Doctor, but at the same time you need to be practicing the suggestions I have made into controlling this disease and you can discuss with your Doctor anything that I have suggested.
      There is one word of Caution! Many of you are Soda Pop drinkers. The Fizz that is found in soda pop will pull the oxygen right out of the body. It would not surprise me one bit if most people who have Parkinson's Disease were heavy pop drinkers. I can not stop you from drinking soda pop but it will decrease the oxygen in your body making you more likely in getting Parkinson's Disease. Think about it. The choice is yours. It is a proven fact that drinking Mountain Dew for a long period of time will slowly eat the cartilage out of your knees and you may have to have a knee replacement before you even turn 60 years old. Also for those who drink Coke or Pepsi for a long period of time, it will give you the shakes. If you don't want these things to happen to you then you had better quit drinking Soda Pop now. Too much Soda Pop drinking will take a negative towards your kidneys. In other words your kidneys will quit working on you, and you may also become a Diabetic from taking all that sugar into your body. So quit drinking Soda Pop now while things are going good for you.
      One thing that I have not covered but I think it is very important and that is to exercise your Brain everyday both physically and spiritually. You will do this by reading and writing or doing math problems. There are lots of games that will make you think and that is good. Read anything you like in the way of fiction or non-fiction books. Me, I like to do research. I read first and then I write my thoughts down on paper.
      No matter what religion you belong to you need to exercise your Brain. This will help to heal a sick mind also. You can read and ponder on the Bible, the Apocrypha, the Koran, the Torah, the Book of Mormon or the millions of books that will help us all to be better citizens and good neighbors.This kind of knowledge can help everyone of us.

      I wish you the Best of Luck and I hope the future will bring a lot of good positive Hope into your life.

Remedies For Cuts, Wounds And Nosebleeds.

      When we were children we were always falling down and scraping our arms and legs on the ground or falling off our bikes. We were always getting nicked somewhere on the body, and who was our Doctor? Yes, you are right, our own Mothers. Today we are the Moms and Dads and it is our turn to doctor up ourselves and our children. Generally for most cuts and wounds we do not need to see a Doctor and with the few ideas listed below we should be able to fix most wounds ourselves.
      But you need to be the Judge. If a wound has torn off a lot of skin and flesh from an accident or there is a big gap in the flesh from a knife wound or from some glass, then the person needs medical attention. TAKE THEM TO A DOCTOR.
      For the minor cuts and wounds, just do some of the basic First-Aid that our parents use to practice. Here are some basic guide lines.

 1. You need to stop the bleeding. Put a clean cloth over the bleeding area and apply pressure for a few minutes. This is very important for wounds that are bleeding a lot. In this case while pressure is being applied, get the person to a Doctor as soon as possible. Some people think that you have to use a Tourniquet to stop the bleeding. A Tourniquet is something that you tie around the leg or arm between the wound and the heart to cut off blood circulation. Improper use of a Tourniquet could cause the loss of an arm or a leg or it could cause the person to die. DO NOT USE A TOURNIQUET! Apply pressure to the wound to stop the bleeding.

 2. The wound needs to be cleaned. Often when you fall on the ground there is dirt on the wound. All cuts and wounds need to be washed with Soap and Water. Soap will not only clean the wound but it also disinfects all wounds, and helps them to heal.

 3. Apply a disinfectant to the wound. Soap may disinfect it but you need to be doubly sure. So at this time apply Iodine or Hydrogen Peroxide or Rubbing Alcohol and then put a bandage over the wound.

 4. For smaller wounds you can put a Band-Aid on it after you have washed it. If the wound is on your finger and it is bleeding, you could put your finger into white flour or baking soda. Both of these will quickly stop the bleeding. For larger wounds use some gauze after you have washed it and use some white tape to hold the gauze onto the wound. Change the bandage twice a day and before you put another on it spray some more disinfectant onto the wound.

 5. There are several things that you could add to a wound to speed up the healing time or provide more comfort to the wound. These Ointments, Salves, Sprays and Oils can be bought at the store. The Manager will help you to pick the right one. Below are some of the other extras that you could put on a wound to make it more comfortable.

 A.    Many people grow a plant in their house called Aloe Vera. When you break a leaf off this plant the juice in the leaf is excellent for Cuts, Wounds and Burns. It is very soothing to any Wound and it will speed up the healing time.

 B.    The milky fluid that is found in the Dandelion Plant or the Milkweed Plant, it can be added to a Wound to help speed up the healing time.

 C.    White Vinegar is excellent when added to all Wounds.

 D.    Honey is excellent for Burns and all kinds of Wounds. Honey is a natural disinfectant and it will draw the heat out of a Burn. Just put a little dab of it on the Band-Aid or the gauze and then tape it directly to the sore.

 E.    Yellow Mustard that you put on Hot Dogs is also good for all kinds of Wounds. It is excellent for Bad Sunburns. It is very soothing to the Burn and it will help you sleep at night without that prickly feeling that you get from sunburn. Again just put a dab of it on a bandage and tape it to the wound.

 F.    Vitamin E Oil is excellent when rubbed onto all Wounds and Burns. Again this is very soothing to all Wounds.

 G.    A lady from India says that Yogurt is very soothing to all Wounds and Burns.

 H.    A lady got bitten on the calf of her leg by a wild alley cat and her leg became swollen. The next day she went to Wyoming, USA, to visit her sister. The sister's neighbor was a Country Doctor and she came over to look at that swollen leg. She took a piece of bread and soaked it in sweet milk and tied it to the lady's leg with some cotton strips. The next day the wound was almost healed and the leg was no longer swollen.

 I.    Today if a person steps on a rusty nail, they are given a Booster Shot and then the Doctor will clean and bandage the puncher wound. Back in the good old days over 100 years ago before they had Booster Shots, if a person stepped on a rusty nail or got injured on rusty farm equipment, they would take a thin piece of salt pork fat and put lots of pepper on it and then tie it onto the wound. This method would always work because the pork fat would always draw out the poison and prevent infection.

 J.    I always keep a can of Bag Balm sitting in my house. It is excellent for all kinds of wounds and rashes. If you melt the salve down on low heat until it turns to liquid and then add 12 capsules of powdered Yellow Dock Root to the liquid and stir it, it will make a very good itch salve. When it cools it will be a salve again. The powdered Yellow Dock Root can be bought at any health foods store. This is really some good stuff.

 K.    As it shows up above there are several Oils the are good for all kinds of wounds and it will speed up the healing time. These Oils are: Vitamin E, Garlic, Flax Seed, Wheat Germ and Olive Oil.

L.    A man had a finger that got all infested and it was full of puss. His wife put a slice of tomato on the finger and bandage it up. Two days later the finger was almost healed.

      So when we are faced with Cuts and Wounds. we do not have to always run to the Doctor when we can apply First-Aid ourselves. But remember, if the cut is way too big or too deep or too much skin and flesh was torn from the body, then it may be wise to include a Doctor. But most wounds can be treated at home.

      Now it is time to say something about Nosebleed. Some people get them often while others get them only once in a while. But the Remedies in stopping a nosebleed are easy.
      Most nosebleeds are caused from us digging in our nose with a finger. Something is in our nose and it is driving us batty. So we put our finger up our nose to get that bothersome matter out of our nose. But while doing so we accidentally scratch the insides of our nose with the fingernail and our nose starts to bleed. You all know what I mean. Or we accidentally bump our nose and it begins to bleed. To stop a Nosebleed, please do one of the following:

 1.    The most common way to stop a nosebleed is to put a piece of tissue paper up each nose hole and leave them there for a few minutes. When you pull them out, if the nose is still bleeding then repeat the process and leave the tissue in there for a longer period of time.

 2.    Use your thumb and first index finger and squeeze both sides of the nose for a few minutes. This will stop a nosebleed.

 3.    Putting a cold object on the back of the neck will stop a nosebleed, like an ice pack, or a cold piece of metal or an ice cube.

 4.    My Boss one day put a broom handle on the back of my neck and pressed down on it. The nose quit bleeding.

 5.    Put a penny between the upper lip and the gums and hold it tight for a few minutes, or use your finger and press hard against the middle of the upper lip for a few minutes.

 6.    I will have to try this one the next time I get a nosebleed. It is so easy. Just put your hands into some ice cold water and it will stop a nosebleed. But remember if one of these Remedies do not seem to work then try another one. No two of us are the same.
