[AlternativeAnswers] carcenoma

 

hi!

I am a longstanding member of the group,
on occasion I contribute, but now when in need, one needs outside help.

so here goes...

my mom was diagnosed today with carcinoma in the spine (biopsy), this one- the doctor claims started with breast cancer, and mastasized.
so we understand that it spread pretty badly, we do not yet know exactly how far or what stage cancer this is considered.
the doc wants to do a spet scan, and hormone therapy, and for the pain in the spine - local radiation.

at least for now...

please give me information about the above therepies - should we do them? what are the alternatives...

she wants to go alternative-that is my opinion too (or more precisely I don't want her -or anyone else -to be harmed by chemo etc) , but my brothers are pressuring for conventional.

I am the one standing in the way of letting the doctors do whatever they want and turning my mother into a statistic, so it is up to me to save her - if I can...

the doctors identified me as the one who knows too much, unfortunatly, I feel that I know too little.

she needs my support, and wants it, but if I don't come up with a clear direction + a doctor who will treat her, she will be swayed to allow conventional treatment because of the pain.
so as you see we both need direction.
I need to bring the family proven therapies, and be ready with studies and references so that it is effective...
that is why I am asking help from our group.

here is some additional info (in no particular order):
we live in israel- is there anyone around to treat her here?
age 78

stongwilled- used to being the leader, but now she is in a bad low - that is no surprise

has Parkinson
high blood pressure
no known diabetes
had a cataract operation
no mercury fillings (but all her teeth are implants, I don't know of what metal, could be chrome- I have no way of knowing)
she is in pain, the worst is back pain, but not only there.
she never had a mammogram.
she has no allergies, and as a rule bears pain well.
she is not capable of making food for herself, and I do not live near to help with the type of nutritional help she needs...
organic foods are (unfortunately) not currently an option.

I am taking her (hopefully) to acupuncture -for the pain -tomorrow.

from some the above I infer that there probably is some heavy metal toxicity at the root of the problem.

we need some treatment that is not complicated (or expensive), and will deal with the pain quite quickly. once we gain some confidence of the family we can do more..

thank you!

Good Morning!

World Homeopathy Awareness Week

April 10th - April 16th The father of homeopathy, Dr. Samuel Hahnemann, who discovered the law of cure known as "Similia Similibus Curentur", is honored each year at the start of his birthday in order to bring awareness to this amazing form of medicine. Homeopaths, patients and supporters around the world celebrate this invaluable healing science that has transformed millions of lives. Homeopathy is the second most widely used system of medicine in the world. 

Homeopathy Works!

Homeopathy seeks to stimulate the body's defense mechanisms and processes so as to prevent or treat illness. It stimulates a person's immune system and body's natural defenses. Homeopathy not only offers relief from temporary disorders but, can provide long term healing. 

Homeopathics are created by taking the remedy: a plant, mineral, chemical, or animal substance, diluting it in water and shaking it vigorously. The more it is sequentially diluted and shaken, the more potent the medicine. This is why minuscule doses are used.

"Like cures Like". Here are some perfect examples:

* A full strength dose of Ipeca will cause vomiting. 

In a very diluted dose, it becomes a remedy to control nausea and vomiting. 

* Coffee before bed will generally cause a sleepless night. 

In an infinitesimal dose, it is used to treat insomnia. 

*A large dose of sodium sulfate will characteristically provoke diarrhea. 

An infinitesimal or homeopathic dose can cure that same type of diarrhea.

In general, the first session with a homeopath is for him/her to get to know your genetic heritage, lifelong health history, body type, psychological type, and present symptoms. The homeopath will ask many questions which seem out of the norm from a conventional doctor, but you must remember, his job is to consider your "whole" person.

He will ask questions like:

1. What time of day is your energy highest and lowest?

2. What type of weather or temperature do you love, hate?

3. How are you affected by being in the mountains, seashore?

4. What foods do you crave, are averse to, irritated by?

5. What position do you sleep in?

6. What dreams do you remember?

7. How does motion or lying down affect you?

There are hundreds of remedies with homeopathy as well as other modalities that employ the same theory called the Doctrine of Signatures. Start by looking at Avoiding the Antidotes. These are the contraindications when taking homeopathic remedies. Check Determining Dosage to understand how to take homeopathic remedies. Match Signs and Symptoms in order to choose the Best Homeopathic Remedy. Homeopathy is a profound and great integrative therapy that can be used in conjunction with many other forms of health care.

Homeopathic remedies can complement conventional drugs. There are no contraindications and no known side effects. 

Avoiding the Antidotes

Homeopathic remedies are powerful remedies but they work in such small doses that they can easily be compromised! According to Classic Homeopathy, the following antidotes should be avoided:

Avoid heat, light, moisture. 

Keep homeopathic remedies tightly sealed in a cool, dark place. The steam in your bathroom may not be a safe place for them. Consider an area outside of the medicine chest.

Refrain from mint.

Mint or peppermint toothpaste, mint in your ice tea or mint chocolate chip ice cream should all be avoided during the time you are using homeopathic remedies.

Avoid Aromatics.

Menthol, camphor, tiger balm and perfume can neutralize homeopathic remedies. 

Don't touch.

Pour the remedy pills from the bottle into the cap. Then pour them under your tongue. The oil from your hands can affect them.

Not with meals.

Take one half hour before eating or one to two hours after.

Don't chew or swallow.

Dissolve homeopathic pellets under the tongue. They absorb quickly into the bloodstream this way. Homeopathic drops can be taken the same way or in a glass of water.

Avoid stimulants.

Avoid smoking, coffee and caffeine especially within 30 minutes of taking homeopathic remedies.

Elements of Celtic Healing

 

Good Morning!

Elements of Celtic Healing

First and foremost, The Celts were and are a remarkable, inventive and long-enduring people, versed in rituals and protocols of nature, a strong connection to the earth and sea and a reputation for mystery, myth and magic. It is from these elements that we can learn, understand and incorporate each facet into our everyday healing practices! 

1. Water: including lakes, streams, rivers, springs and wells, have been held in deep respect, honor and places to visit on pilgrimage. The power of water has refreshing, hydrating and rejuvenating powers that call, the Celts (and most every other culture) to their healing banks and shallows to gather, drink and bathe in the ever sacred waters! Water is considered a fertility symbol, found in the Culdron of Daghda, in the Baths and Sanctuaries of Sulus, on the shoreline of the Boyne River and flowing along Brigid's Well. 

2. Sacred Herbs: found in burial sites and ritual shafts, handed down in folklore and stories, and made available from the hand-me-down recipes and tales of intrigue, tell a story of the plants and perennials that have made their way through Celtic history. From Bilberry and burdock to mistletoe and willow bark, herbs were utilized not only for their healing properties but for their taste, color and metaphysical healing aspects, as well. 

3. Stones: were seen as tools for divination, objects of protection and luck and places of worship and blessings. From the standing stones at Carnac and megaliths at Stonehenge to the Winter Solstice tomb at Newgrange and the looming mound in Glastonbury, stones have been used to mark territories, honor grave sites, invoke seasonal ceremonies, revered as touchstones and used as altars or "mass rocks" for centuries. The Lia Fail (Stone of Destiny) is often referred to as the Coronation Stone or Jacob's Pillar and is where many high kings of Ireland where crowned. The Turoe Stone in Galway, Ireland is considered the omphalos or "navel" stone. This "earth navel" is considered the meeting place between living mortals, the gods and the dead. 

4. Fire: has been used for its powerful healing, purging and cleansing properties. Offered as a tool of celebration in many of the major holidays and seasonal transitions, fire, smoke and ashes were deemed to have protective properties. Cows were driven between two pillars of fire as a cleansing ritual, while tribes would jump over bonfires to achieve fertility, prosperity and protection, fires lit to represent stages of the sun and its light are all good examples as to how fire plays a major role in ritualistic aspects. 

5. Music: and songs are elements of storytelling, the expressing of one's emotions and a way to connect with people and the past. Music's magic and mystical connections are undeniable and there is no better way to recall memories, honor life's transitions and bring hope to anyone seeking enlightenment. The lithful melodies of the harp of Daghda, were played as a passing of the seasons. 

6. Nature: and all its power, glory and destruction where feared and honored as a way of understanding it's approach through the rhythm of the seasons, from the attention payed to natural locations and to the tides of the moon and weather divination. Trees were seen as revered, ancient elders whom gathered in sacred groves on ancient hilltops and used as divination tools. The trinity of water, fire and earth were also respected as nature's way of washing, purifying and honoring. 

7. Symbols: are the binding which holds together cultural beliefs, religious significance and etheric ideas. Every symbol is a message from some deeper unconscious part of ourselves to the more conscious everyday part of ourselves expressed in a language that needs to be learned and understood. The symbol has been called the royal road to the unconscious. Another way to say that symbols are the window to the soul. There is a very small number of original, natural symbols that make up the countless millions of symbols in existence today. 

8. Storytelling: has always been the way in which the Celts would teach lessons, entertain their tribe and make as one of the cornerstone beliefs within the society as a whole. Stories gave people an identity. It was a way to keep a communities' self image, uniqueness and trbal psyche together. Stories were told of shifting backwards and forwards between two worlds, this world and the Otherworld. Storytelling would glide along the edge of history and sometimes, blurring the line, but the main purpose of the story was always the message it had within it. The greatest Celt stories would wander between warriors and giants, fairies and lovers, gods and goddesses and traditional local lore. 

9. Dieties: have played a major role in the construction and fabric of the Celt cultures. The common denominator in all religions is the belief in the spirit world and life after death. Priests or shaman have always been the inter-mediators between the material and spirit worlds. 

10. Rituals: give us the opportunity to start anew, refresh and reboot our lives, our intentions or goals. Not much has been recorded about the healing rites and rituals of the Celts. What is known is based on the literature recorded by early Christians, the Greeks and Romans and archaeological evidence. 

Okra Health Benefits

 

 

Okra: A-OK not only for diabetics

WELL-BEING By Mylene Mendoza-Dayrit (The Philippine Star) | Updated February 10, 2015

I have written how okra helped normalize my blood sugar levels May of last year, but since then, I have been receiving questions and feedbacks about the topic. I love okra and had I known its many benefits back then, I would have included it in my daily diet.

News about how it is helping a lot of people, such as myself, encourages me to write more about the topic of medicinal plants and herbs. One 46-year-old reader, Roland of Cavite, wrote, "I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus last January 8. Luckily, I kept a copy of your column 'How okra normalized my blood sugar.' My fasting blood sugar, when I was diagnosed, was 146. After two weeks of taking my medicine, diet, exercise, and okra water, my blood sugar, went down to 105. Should I still continue taking okra water?"

My answer is yes, by all means. I have been taking okra water in the morning after waking up for one year now! This is completely natural. With continuous use, chances are you can request your doctor to decrease the dose of your maintenance medication. 

Alfred, my husband's diabetic driver, was religiously preparing his okra water every night for consumption the following morning but he made a grave mistake, which I immediately corrected. He told me he places the covered okra water in the ref! That won't work. It is best to keep the okra water covered in room temperature (not even in an air-conditioned room). 

In fact, I noticed that during these cooler months, the slimy sap of the okra doesn't mix with the water as well as during the warmer months. My husband discovered that after drinking okra water, you can still drain all the slimy goodness of the okra by putting hot water over the soaked cut pieces.

For those reading this for the first time, okra water is prepared by cutting the ends of two okras, then soaking them in a glass of warm water, covered overnight. It is best to put a slit on the middle of the okra or cut it into pieces. The covered glass of water with soaked okra should be kept overnight in room temperature. The okra water should be taken in the morning on an empty stomach and preferably 30 minutes before breakfast. To celebrate my one year with okra, I am sharing more facts about this amazing vegetable.

Author and nutritionist Dr. Sylvia Zook of the University of Illinois published the following insights about okra:

• The superior fiber found in okra helps to stabilize blood sugar as it curbs the rate at which sugar is absorbed from the intestinal tract.

• Okra's mucilage (gummy or gelatinous substance) not only binds cholesterol but bile acid carrying toxins dumped into it by the filtering liver. But it doesn't stop there.

• Many alternative health practitioners believe all disease begins in the colon. The okra fiber, absorbing water and ensuring bulk in stools, helps prevent and improve constipation. Fiber, in general, is helpful for this, but okra is one of the best, along with ground flax seed and psyllium. Unlike harsh wheat bran, which can irritate or injure the intestinal tract, okra's mucilage soothes, and okra facilitates elimination more comfortably by its slippery characteristic many people abhor. In other words, this incredibly valuable vegetable not only binds excess cholesterol and toxins (in bile acids), which cause numerous health problems if not evacuated, but also assures easy passage out of the body of same. Unlike some prescription and over-the-counter drugs for this, this veggie is completely non-toxic, non-habit forming (except for the many who greatly enjoy eating it), has no adverse side effects, is full of nutrients, and is economically within reach of most.

• Further contributing to the health of the intestinal tract, okra fiber (as well as flax and psyllium) has no equal among fibers for feeding the good bacteria (probiotics).

• To retain most of okra's nutrients and self-digesting enzymes, it should be cooked as little as possible, e.g. with low heat or lightly steamed. Some eat it raw. However, if one is going to fry it (and it is undeniably delicious prepared that way when rolled in cornmeal and salt), only extra virgin olive oil, or unrefined coconut butter is recommended (this is not the unhealthy partially hydrogenated product found in processed foods.) Organic ghee used by gourmet chefs has the oil and flavor of butter without the solids — excellent for frying okra (does not burn like butter), and may be obtained from the health food store.

 While generally known worldwide as okra, it's called bendi in Malaysia, okura in Japan, and qui kui in Taiwan. Okra is good for those feeling weak, exhausted, and depressed. It also helps neutralize acids being very alkaline, helps heal ulcers, and helps keep joints limber.

For acid reflux and constipation, adding six pieces of raw or lightly steamed okra in one's daily diet helps. Some make okra tea by putting okra pieces in a mug, then pouring hot water over it to extract the slimy juice.

Half a cup of cooked okra with 460 IU of vitamin A may lower the risk of cataracts, they said. In a research conducted by Dr. Zook, a study group with high low density lipid (bad cholesterol) was fed oats, barley, psyllium, okra, and eggplants and showed the same reduction in LDL as those given medication.

Magnesium Oil

 

Benefits of Magnesiom:

 

HOW TO MAKE MAGNESIUM OIL

MAGNESIUM OIL: THE PLAYERS

• 1/2 C. Magnesium chloride flakes
• 1/2 C. purified or distilled water

MAGNESIUM OIL: THE HOW-TO

1. Bring the water to a boil.

2. Add the magnesium flakes and stir well until completely dissolved.

3. Remove from heat and allow to cool, then transfer into a dark colored glass spray bottle. 

HOW TO APPLY MAGNESIUM OIL

Spray magnesium oil on your arms, legs, and stomach daily.

You may experience a tingling sensation when you first start using it. That's perfectly normal and short-lived; the effect fades after 10 to 20 minutes. After a while of routinely applying magnesium oil, you likely won't experience the tingling sensation any more.

Use the magnesium oil liberally, starting with 6 to 8 squirts a day and building up to as many as 20. Magnesium oil will loosen your stool, so the test to determine how much you need to apply is to simply watch your bowel movements. If they turn too loose, then back off the magnesium a little.
