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.

Loose Weight Naturally----Include Coconut Oil In Your Diet

      Coconut Oil is a " Super Food ". When you include coconut oil as a part of your regular diet it will slowly get rid of the unwanted fat around your waist. You read that right. Coconut Oil will get rid of that  Pot Belly that you may have had for some time. But you need to remember that drinking a lot of pop and or beer will also create a pot belly. So you need to cut down on both of these if you want the coconut oil to do its job in getting rid of that fat on the gut, because the beer and the pop will continue to provide you with a pot belly even though the coconut oil is doing it's best into getting rid of it.
      Coconut Oil is a wonderful natural medicine. Because the coconut is the fruit of the palm tree it will naturally get rid of the poisonous toxins that are found in the body and it also kills free radicals. Besides helping you to loose weight it is also good for Diabetes, irritable bowel syndrone, Alzheimer's disease, thyroid conditions, boosting your energy levels, boosting the immune system and it provides the body with a lot of good cholesterol. It is also good for softening and conditioning the skin giving it a moisturizing effect, and overcoming a disease called Psonasis.
      Why does Coconut Oil work in so many different ways? Because it is a " Saturated Fat "  called Medium Chain Triglycendes, and this fat works differently in your body then that of other " saturated fats ".
      A few comments are listed below as to why we should include Coconut Oil in our diet.

 1. As it is already listed up above Coconut Oil has a positive effect upon several medical problems.

 2. People who eat coconuts on a regular bases, they are some of the most healthiest people around and many of them live way past 100 years old. The people who live in the South Pacific, their diets are mainly tropical fruits, fish and coconuts. They are a very healthy people with no heart diseases and very few of them ever get Cancer.

 3. Coconut Oil will increase your energy levels and it will burn fat off your body automatically.

 4. The Lauric Acid that is found in Coconut Oil will kill bacteria, viruses and fungi. In other words the eating of Coconut Oil will kill infections in the body automatically.

 5. Coconut Oil will kill your hunger pains so that you will eat less.

 6. For those of you who are having seizures, Coconut Oil will help to control it. This is both for adults and also children.

 7. Coconut Oil will improve Blood Cholesterol levels and it will also lower your risk of heart diseases.

 8. Coconut Oil is a great skin moisturizer and it also makes a good sunscreen.

 9. Coconut Oil will boost up the function of the brain and improves the memory power. It will also help the people who are suffering from Alzheimer's Disease.

10. Coconut Oil will help your body to loose it's fat especially the dangerous fat that is found in the abdominal cavity.

11. Coconut Oil controls blood sugar levels. It helps to improve the body's use of insulin and it increases digestion and it helps the body to absorb fat-soluble vitamins.

      The only Side Effect that a first time user could experience is Diarrhea for the first few days. Because coconuts are the fruit of the Palm Tree, they will destroy toxins in your body and for a few days you will have diarrhea which is a natural processes when the body is getting rid of those poisons that are found in your body. After a couple of days you will be back to normal with no more problems, because your body has gotten use to this new oil.

      There are several ways that you can add Coconut Oil to your diet. For the first time users, use only a little bit at a time until your body gets use to it. My wife melts it down and adds a tablespoon of this oil to baked goods or pancake batter. It can be added to gravies to put on mashed potatoes. It could be added to fruit smoothies, root beer floats or milkshakes.You could spread it onto bagels or toast followed by cream cheese or jelly. Some people will even melt it down and add yellow food coloring and salt and when it becomes solid again it will make a good butter substitute, and it taste like butter.

      When buying Coconut Oil buy the " Organic Virgin Coconut Oil ". My wife bought some from a neighbor who bought a case of 12 bottles at 16 dollars a bottle. These were 32 oz. bottles and they were ordered from off the internet. On another day my wife found some Coconut Oil at a store. These were 29 oz. bottles for only 8 dollars. So when you go looking for this product, remember that some stores will sale it for less money then other stores. If your store does not have it talk to the manager and they will order it. Or you can order it off the internet for a higher cost.
