ROSEMARY (ROSMARINUS OFFICINALIS)

admin — Sat, 05 Dec 2009 12:32:00 +0000

This familiar culinary native of the Mediteranean coast is currently attracting renewed interest as a key herb in cancer prevention. Rosemary is the primary source of quinones, antioxidants which inhibit the action of carcinogens in the body. Laboratory tests have also shown the quinone compounds to suppress the activity of co-carcinogens, chemicals which stimulate the cancerous agents into action.

The use of rosemary throughout Europe as a symbol of remembrance is well founded. Rubbed on the temples, the oil of rosemary strengthens memory and stimulates a sluggish mind. It has been used successfully to combat nervous depression.

Rosemary is described by some as the supreme heart tonic and an infusion of the leaves is helpful at the onset of migraine.

Applied topically, rosemary oil soothes aching joints and an infusion of rosemary makes an excellent skin wash. It is used in number of natural hair preparations, including conditioners, and is highly effective against head lice.

REICHIAN THERAPY

admin — Sat, 05 Dec 2009 12:31:51 +0000

Wilhelm Reich was a Viennese psychiatrist who was a follower of Sigmund Freud but later broke away to establish his own therapy. Like Freud, Reich believed that frightening and painful experiences and feelings could be repressed by the conscious mind. Reich based his therapy on his belief that repressed feelings could cause physical as well as psychological problems and that these could be released by certain movements. He divided the body into seven zones in which tightening of certain groups of muscles created ‘body armour’. Rigid patterns of behaviour he termed ‘character armour’. He believed that the blockages created by these armours impeded energy flow in the body and could lead to deteriorating health.

Reichian therapy is a form of bodywork in which the therapist helps the patient to become aware of the ways in which posture, muscular tension and breathing patterns reflect emotion. Physical manipulation of the body aims to relax the body armouring.

REBIRTHING

admin — Sat, 05 Dec 2009 12:31:36 +0000

This is a form of bodywork derived from the yoga technique Pranayama, which uses controlled rhythmic breathing to raise kundalini energy in the body. By breathing in such a way that there is no pause between inhalation and expiration of air, hyperventilation occurs and a cathartic emotional state is induced. The therapist guides the patient through this experience. Some therapists believe that traumatic experiences at birth can lead to psychological problems later in life and that the rebirthing process can release and overcome traumas and associated emotional blockages.

Rebirthing can be undertaken while lying on a mat or table. Sometimes a therapist may get patients to float face down in warm water, using a snorkel to breathe, so that the experience will more closely resemble that of the foetus in the womb.

TRUE HEALING – PRACTICAL ADVICE/ACCELERATING THE DETOXIFICATION PROCESS – REMOVAL OF DENTAL AMALGAMS

admin — Sat, 05 Dec 2009 12:31:26 +0000

Dental amalgams, whether gold or silver, contain mercury, one of the most toxic metals to our body. Having amalgam fillings, is like having a constant supply of toxic mercury, released slowly but constantly.

Removal and replacement of amalgam fillings instantly removes the source of mercury supply, however the mechanical removal process itself (drilling) can temporarily increase the concentration of mercury in your body.

When you decide to replace amalgams, make sure that you are already on the detoxification program and that you tell your dentist to apply a lot of suction during the removal process, reducing the concentration of mercury vapours.

Note, that it may take a considerable amount of time for your body to neutralise and excrete the mercury that has accumulated in your body over many years.

TRUE HEALING – PRACTICAL ADVICE/DETOXIFICATION PROCESS: OXYGEN THERAPIES-ORAL INTAKE

admin — Sat, 05 Dec 2009 12:31:22 +0000

It has been demonstrated (see Oxygen Therapies by Ed McCabe listed in the References), that taking diluted hydrogen peroxide orally also is beneficial to our health. The most controversial issue is the concentration. In my opinion we should not exceed by much the concentrations which occur naturally in the rain water high in the mountains or in the water from natural mineral springs. Another good gauge is taste. The taste of hydrogen peroxide is extremely unpleasant and we are quite sensitive to it. So, if you cannot feel discomfort drinking the solution, the concentration is most likely safe. Again, do not use hydrogen peroxide sold in pharmacies for external use only, as it contains so called “stabilisers” which may be toxic. Use only “analytical” or “food” grade hydrogen peroxide.

TRUE HEALING – PRACTICAL ADVICE/DETOXIFICATION PROCESS: AFTER FASTING – MAINTAINING THE PURE BODY

admin — Sat, 05 Dec 2009 12:31:18 +0000

Gradually you should introduce a “normal” diet, on which you could live on for indefinite period of time.

Note, that most of your efforts will be lost if you return to your old habits. To maintain the body in a healthy and pure state, you should take care not to poison it again. It is strongly recommended, that you eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, avoid meat, fish, eggs and any food containing extracts, colours and flavours.

It is very important to continue drinking at least 2-3 litres of pure water each day. Remember that our body is 75% water and all scientists agree that the ageing process is equivalent to slow dehydration of the cells in our body.

THE JOY OF PERFECT HEALTH: DETOXIFICATION: A CONDITION FOR HEALING

admin — Sat, 05 Dec 2009 12:30:50 +0000

The information supported by honest clinical observations, indicates without any doubt the ultimate reason for all diseases : poisoning of the body beyond its capacity of poison neutralisation.

Everything else, no matter how complicated, involving other living creatures (bacteria, parasites etc.) or not, is just a consequence.

We have also found, that the poisoning of our body is largely our own doing, caused by our ignorance or misinformation.

This is the first and necessary step to true healing.

Before discussing available natural strategie detoxification, I would like to turn your attention second, very important condition of true healing purification of your mind.

MOUTH ULCERS

admin — Sat, 05 Dec 2009 12:28:09 +0000

These small and painful sores in the mouth can result from injury to the inside cheeks, lips or gums. Abrasions caused by ill-fitting dentures or by rough brushing of the teeth are often responsible for the development of ulcers, aided by acidity in the mouth.

When mouth ulcers occur for no obvious external reason, they can indicate stress and poor nutrition. Check” for deficiencies in Vitamins A and B]2, iron, folic acid or zinc. Sudden and severe outbreaks may indicate the presence of the herpes virus. If the problem is persistent, a consultation with a homeopath may help. According to some natural therapists, intolerance to the fluoride in toothpaste or to gluten in the diet can result in recurring mouth ulcers.

To treat, apply a tincture of myrrh, available from most chemists and health food shops. Swill the mouth with sage tea or with a couple of drops of tea tree oil mixed in warm water. At night, drink milk to coat the ulcer and prevent further inflammation.

MARIJUANA

admin — Sat, 05 Dec 2009 12:27:54 +0000

Although illegal, marijuana (also known as cannabis) is widely smoked and has attained a degree of social acceptability. While many people believe that marijuana is a benign drug which promotes relaxation, there are several known detrimental side effects. Tetrahydracannabinol (THC), which is found in marijuana, is an immunosuppressive substance. Heavy users can suffer from a variety of immune deficiency diseases. There is also evidence of disruption of the reproductive system of both men and women who habitually smoke marijuana, probably resulting from inhibition of pituitary hormone secretion. The process of ovulation, the menstrual cycle and sperm production are inhibited as a result. Impaired short-term memory is also suffered by many chronic users.

The plant has been used beneficially for glaucoma treatment and pain relief.
