57 Natural Healing Solutions That Your Doctor Doesn't Tell You About
Chapter 1: Intro
Medicine has changed throughout the years.
History of Medicine:
1000 AD: -- "Here, take this herb."
1700: -- "That herb won’t cure you; here’s an elixir."
1900: -- "That elixir won’t cure you; take this pill."
1960: -- "That pill won’t help; take this antibiotic."
2000: -- "That antibiotic has been recalled; take these pills."
Our modern society has led us into some complex and destructive lifestyles and habits.
Fast foods, overeating to compensate for emotional problems, alcohol abuse, drug
problems, smoking, excess sugar, pollution, and the stress of living in our fast-paced
society have resulted in a breakdown in our bodies. This breakdown results in problems
like Anxiety, Arthritis, Depression, Type II Diabetes, Gout, High Blood Pressure, High
Cholesterol, and many other ailments.
When one of these ailments bothers us enough physically we go to the doctor. Most of
us choose an allopathic doctor because that is the only type of doctor our insurance
plans will cover. Naturopaths and other holistic or alternative practitioners are rarely
covered by most insurance plans.
Allopathic doctors are physicians who use pharmacologically active agents (drugs) to
treat or suppress our symptoms, diseases, and conditions. But treating or suppressing
our symptoms rarely gets to the root cause of our problems. It may, however, leave us
with a fistful of prescriptions, each one treating the side effect of its predecessor, and an
empty pocket from paying our deductible.
Getting to the root of a physical problem is not something most overworked and
overbooked physicians were trained to do or have time to do in today’s busy society.
Today’s physicians are also not trained to recognize that the human body has an innate
ability to heal itself given the right circumstances.
They are merely taught which medications work to suppress the symptoms of each
ailment. This information is reinforced by the pharmaceutical sales reps who constantly
visit doctors’ offices to inform them of new and better drugs. Nowadays these drugs are
also advertised in the media.
If you listen closely to the drug advertisements, though, you will hear enough side
effects the drugs may cause to dissuade you from taking them. Usually, only the people
absolutely desperate to find an answer to their medical problems succumb to asking for
these drugs. Allopathic medicine treats the symptoms in individual body parts whereas
alternative treatments heal the whole body.
Unfortunately, there is no money available to advertise in the media how homeopathic
remedies, herbal supplements, food, and vitamin remedies can help you manage or rid
yourself of your medical problems. The food we eat, the air we breathe, and the toxins
we ingest have a lot to do with our current state of health. This book will offer you the
ability to take charge of your health.
We will go over some of the top health problems and symptoms Americans face today
and offer you information on healing them with all-natural solutions you may never hear
about from your allopathic doctor.
This book covers treatments and therapies you can access yourself. These are
alternative treatments that are backed up with sound science. They include dietary
changes, herbs, vitamins, and minerals. Massage therapy, magnetic therapy, and
several other holistic modalities will also be offered.
You may find that at times it seems as though one modality is suggested for every
ailment. This is because the remedy or alternative modality may affect the whole body,
such as massage therapy.
Please keep in mind that the remedies we suggest are not meant to be the Quick Fix
that drugs are supposed to be. You will see improvement, and you will see cures, but
you need to stick with the remedies long enough for them to work. They are meant to
work synergistically with your body to help it heal itself.
Some of these remedies stimulate the body to heal itself. Others address the symptoms
and the origin of the symptoms.
You may find you have allergic symptoms to an herb. If this is the case, stop taking it
and see your physician. There is a place for allopathic medicine in healing, but once we
take responsibility for our own health, that place is usually after we have tried all the
remedies we can find that heal our bodies rather than merely treat the symptoms of our
disorders.
You have probably heard the disclaimer the FDA requires on some supplements, "This
statement has not been evaluated by the FDA. This product is not intended to diagnose,
treat, cure, or prevent any disease."
According to the FDA, “The disclaimer must also state that this product is not intended
to ‘diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease,’ because only a drug can legally make
such a claim.1 Both the FDA and modern medicine have moved away from natural
cures.
We need to offer a similar disclaimer due to FDA regulations. No statement in this book
is intended as a claim for cure, treatment, or prevention of any disease or condition.
Having said that, we also need to say that with the information in this book, we are
putting some powerful information in your hands so that you can make informed
decisions about your health.
Chapter 2 Healing Solutions
As Publilius Syrus in the 1st century BC said: “Good health and good sense are two of
life's greatest blessings.”
Which of the common physical challenges facing many of us today would you like to rid
yourself of?
Acne
Aging
Allergies
Anxiety & Stress
Arthritis
Backache
Colds
Constipation
Dandruff
Depression
Diabetes

While the exact cause of acne is not known, factors that contribute to it are: oily skin,
heredity, allergies, androgens, stress, certain drugs (especially steroids), excessive
consumption of junk foods, saturated and hydrogenated fats, nutritional deficiencies,
some cosmetics, and menstrual cycles.
Healing Solution #1: Change your body’s pH
You can get pH test strips from your local drug store. A body that is out of balance,
either too acidic or too alkaline is a breeding ground for acne-causing bacteria. The
ideal level is between 7 and 7.25.
The FDA has a food chart2 that can guide you into choosing foods that can repair your
pH if it is out of balance.
Healing Solution #2: Homeopathic Remedies3
If you have suffered with acne for a long time, consult a homeopathic physician who can
design a treatment specific to your needs. If you have occasional acne, try:

under your tongue.

Avoid the following: alcohol, caffeine, butter, cheese, chocolate, eggs, fried
foods, hydrogenated oils and shortenings, wheat, and soft drinks.

results from a dairy allergy.
Avoid sugar, as it has been shown that people with acne have an impaired
glucose tolerance.
Do not use iodized salt as iodine worsens acne.
Avoid stress as it can cause flare-ups.
Aging
Aging is something none of us can avoid, but with a little help, we can at least do it
gently. We can retain the vitality of our youth and avoid many of the pitfalls of aging.
Healing Solution #1: Get enough sleep

Allergies
Allergies are nothing to sneeze at. Allergies are a highly sensitive immune response of
the body to a substance. They manifest as hives, sneezing, itching, rashes, swelling,
and in a host of other ways. There are immediate reactions as well as delayed reactions
that are harder to track down. There are some remedies that can lessen these
reactions.
Healing Solution #1: Try a Food Allergy Self-Test
When you think you might be allergic to a certain food, try this simple test to see. Sit
down, relax for a few minutes, then take your pulse using a watch with a second hand.
Count the beats within a minute – normal is 52 to 70 beats per minute. Check your
pulse again after you eat the food, and if you find your heartbeat has increased more
than 10 beats per minute, you are likely allergic to the food. Avoid it for a month and
then re-test yourself.

Common food allergens you may want to avoid until you have self-tested them
for an allergic response include: beef, caffeine, chocolate, corn, dairy products,
eggs, oats, peanuts, strawberries, tomatoes, and wheat.
Anxiety & Stress
Stress causes our bodies to produce more adrenal hormones like adrenaline. In
response to adrenaline, we use up more proteins, fats, and carbohydrates to produce
energy. Our muscles tense, our heartbeat increases, we breathe faster, and even the
composition of our blood changes. None of this is good for our bodies on a sustained
basis.
Healing Solution #1: Massage Therapy


A soothing massage can help you unwind from daily stress.10
Studies show that massage therapy affects the body chemistry by reducing the
stress hormone cortisol.11

in reducing stress.12

Fatigue is a symptom that can occur with many illnesses. It is important to determine
whether your fatigue results from overwork, stress, sleeping problems, a poor diet, or
other lifestyle issues or is caused by an illness. The remedies below address fatigue
that is caused by lifestyle, not illness.
Healing Solution #1: Color Therapy4

Color is light and ultimately a form of energy due to its wavelengths. When this
energy enters our bodies, it stimulates both the pineal and the pituitary glands.

This in turn affects certain hormones that activate bodily processes. Color
influences our moods, thoughts, and behavior.
The colors we surround ourselves with or wear can energize us. Red stimulates
and excites, and orange reduces fatigue while it also stimulates the appetite.
Yellow also has an energizing effect, though less than red, and it can help in
relieving depression.

Causative factors in hair loss include: hormones (especially overactive or underactive
thyroid activity), heredity, and aging. It can also accompany circulatory problems,
severe illness, sudden weight loss, diabetes, stress, poor diet, and nutritional
deficiencies.
Healing Solution #1: Hair Tips

Be gentle with your hair. Let it air dry when you can. Avoid tension-creating
hairstyles like buns, pony tails, braids or cornrows.

Massage your scalp with oil. Sweet almond oil is a good choice as is organic
coconut oil. After the massage, work the oil through your hair and leave it there
for a half hour or more before shampooing. You will have just stimulated the
blood flow to your hair follicles and moisturized your hair to repair its brittleness.
Healing Solution #2: Homeopathic Remedies3

Horsetail is a source of silica, which is a necessary ingredient in hair growth.
Healing Solution #5: Diet4

Avoid raw eggs – They are rich in avidin, which is a protein that prevents Biotin
from being absorbed.
Headache
Headaches have many causes, but the experts theorize that 90 percent of them are
tension headaches, and only 6 percent of them are migraines. The remaining 4 percent
are related to factors such as exposure to irritants such as perfumes or pollution, TMJ,
hormonal imbalance, nutritional deficiencies, alcohol overindulgence, and smoking.
Healing Solution #1: Relief is in Your Fingers


Trigger point therapy can help. Often tension headaches are caused by a

Avoid the following as they are known to cause headaches in some people: ice cream,
iced drinks, chewing gum, and salt.
Heartburn
Heartburn may be misnamed, as it appears as a burning sensation in the stomach,
chest or throat. More common causes are spicy foods, fried foods, tomato-based foods,
citrus fruits, chocolate, coffee, and alcohol.
Rather than taming the beast that rages in your chest with drugs, try these natural
remedies.

when it comes to drinks, the fizzy can seriously interfere with your digestion.

Carbonated soft drinks cause the stomach to distend to twice the amount that
drinking the same amount of water would do. This increased distention forces the
stomach acid to back up into the esophagus, resulting in heartburn.
Drinking carbonated drinks also causes the stomach acid level to rise for almost
an hour after consumption.

properly. Cholesterol, which is synthesized in the liver, is vitally important because it is

total cholesterol number, but your HDL to LDL ratio. HDL is the ‘good’ cholesterol and
LDL is the ‘bad’ cholesterol.
