New year resolution

From the 1st January 2012 I intend to make the following New year resolution's. This is in line with my natural healthy ideas to improve my lifestyle. I need to walk briskly every day for at least 30 minutes, just enough to start a sweat. My diet will not include any fried food like chips. I will try to eat more veg and fruit.. I will find more time to relax and de-stress. I will say daily my affirmations. I wonder if I will be able to keep up this natural way to improve my lifestyle until the 2nd January 2012.
What are your healthy ideas for next year? Have you got a New years resolution?, and if so, what will you do to improve your lifestyle.?.

May this holiday season and New Year bring you what you most desire

I'm a sucker for these interspecies relationship clips. Here's one that shows not only can love cross boundaries, but so can kindness.

How to Prevent Miscarriage

For some pregnant women miscarraige can be a real problem, but a simple natural way may help.
.
Doctors had told Donna Kelly, 29, that her baby was just an inch from the top of her cervix and at risk of "falling out," and they ordered her to lay in the bed with her feet raised higher than her head to reduce the pressure, The Sun reports. 
So for 24 hours a day Kelly, who had suffered from a weak cervix since giving birth to her older son four years earlier and had suffered two miscarriages since, would lay in the bed on an angle. 
The only time Kelly would get up would be to go to the bathroom. "It made me feel sick at first, and I had a massive 'head rush,'" she told The Sun. Her body eventually adapted to the angle and she even devised a way to eat her meals from the bed. 
Kelly spent 10 weeks under the care of an expert in recurrent miscarriage and gave birth to a baby girl six weeks early.

Help I am eating too much

Its Christmas and I eating Christmas cake, mince pies you name it and it is all going down, but the weight is going up. So I am thinking to myself, what natural ways are their of reducing my weight?, as I am worried about heart  disease, my cholesterol level and my blood pressure. Ok I could stop eating all the things that  love eating, however when ever I am hungry I could drink a glass of water, or acai berry and taking a green tea supplement. I could have smaller portions at meal times and cut out potato and bread.

What about the Christmas cake and mince pies?. I am going to leave that till after Christmas!.

How to avoid cancer

The media has reported that simple lifestyle changes can help people avoid getting cancer, that means don't smoke, weight management, avoid alcohol, and eat more fruit and veg.  This is all great information, but we have heard it all before, Thinking about the series The food hospital, Tuesday, channel 4 at 8pm, I began to wonder if there was a natural diet or natural medicine that could be followed that could prevent cancer. It seems that the vitamin B17 may help, this vitamin is found in apricots,apples and millet. You may be able to buy B17 supplements from any good health food shop such as Holland and Barrett, or on line.


Garlic is another natural remedy that has shown to prevent cancer, I take 2000mg of a garlic supplement which I am hoping will help. Try including natural yogurt into your diet to boost your immune system, all these natural products will help

If Your Partner Had Become Sick While You Were Dating, Would You Have Committed to the Relationship?

For many of us, first came the relationship and then came the illness or serious accident.

We met, fell in love, committed or got married, and then illness became the uninvited third member of the relationship. By the time illness entered, we had joined bank accounts, mixed laundry, combined dish sets, and co-mingled friends and dreams. There was a relatively solid platform for the relationship, and illness landed on that platform. When you're still dating, you might be in love, but the platform isn't that solid yet.

If your sweetie had become ill with a serious condition (perhaps the same one he or she has now) while you were still dating, would you have committed to the relationship?

Boost your immune system this winter

 With winter coming it may be a good idea to boost your immune system. One of the best ways is to use Manuka honey. Manuka honey is made in New zealand, and is full of natural goodness that will protect your body and boost your immune system. It can also be used as a natural antibiotic and is better than conventional antibiotics.


How to use Manuka honey. Remember you are using this honey as a natural medicine. Take 1 5mg spoon of the honey twice or three times a day but not at meal times. Allow 1 hour either side of eating or drinking to get the best results from Manuku.
I would be very interested on your comments, if you have used the Honey. As we don't get much sun this time of year it would be very good to supplement your diet with a vitamin D3, available at good health food stores. And remember wash your hands. Ha Ha!

The sad-sweetness of holidays

My friend lost his wife eight months ago to leukemia. One month ago his grand-daughter was born. Her middle name is his wife's first name. This was his first Thanksgiving without his life partner in over 35 years. No one mentioned her name or spoke about Thanksgivings past - perhaps for fear of upsetting him. He did not speak of her either - perhaps for fear of darkening the day.

I think the not speaking made the day more lonely for all of them. Since they could not talk about the sadness of her absence, they couldn't reach the sweetness her presence brought to the table in years passed.

I don't know about you, but I think it's far better to speak and hold the sorrow than to sit alone together in silence.

Herb that can cure cancer

This medicinal plant has not been proven to cure cancer, however there is much interest in it and is undergoing clinical trials. It is (Sutherlandia frutescens) or The cancer bush as is is better known. The cancer bush may be better known for its natural immune boosting qualities. All of the plant that is above the surface can be used. It is usually dried out and  crushed to make a natural tea.

Remember Love?

One of my favorite poems - and the only one I know by heart:

When in disgrace with fortune and men's eyes,

I all alone beweep my outcast state,

And trouble deaf Heaven with my bootless cries,

And look upon myself, and curse my fate,

Wishing me like to one more rich in hope,

Featur'd like him, like him with friends possess'd,

Desiring this man's art, and that man's scope,

With what I most enjoy contented least:

Yet in these thoughts myself almost despising,

Haply I think on thee,--and then my state

(Like to the lark at break of day arising

From sullen earth) sings hymns at heaven's gate;

For thy sweet love remember'd such wealth brings

That then I scorn to change my state with kings'.

Sonnet 29, William Shakespeare

This weekend I went to the wedding of two exquisite people. I've known him since he was a child, and although I just met her a few years ago, I feel as if she is my sister/grandmother/daughter/friend. They are in love and in health. They can make beautiful plans and unravel tightly wound knots with optimism. They have time. They have the luxury of taking today for granted and concentrating on building their tomorrow on a foundation of great expectations.

It was a joy and a liberation to join in their celebration. Because even those of us who have passports to regularly visit the kingdom of the sick, as Susan Sontag describes it, need to be reminded of how penetrating love can be. Love is the hand that can point us toward a better moment, the arm that can encircle us when we are shrouded in our own misery, and the essence that can metabolize a depleted spirit into something lighter and more buoyant.

L'chaim -- to life!

Natural protection for flu

If you are worried about the flu and have a pre-existing illness such as asthma, like me, then you should consider having the flu jab. However there are a number of other things you could do to protect yourself and others from the flu and that is, my old favorite, wash your hands. "Oh no not again"! you are saying. Yes please, after going to the toilet please wash your hands. I don't know about women but most men do wash their hands, however some don't.
Most pubs and cafe toilets are checked once an hour, and therefore could I ask owners of these places when checking the toilets please wipe the door handle with an anti-bacterial wipe, to kill the germs.

Other things you could do to protect yourself from flu is to get plenty of rest, don't get overtired. My advice also because of lack of sunshine in the winter is supplement your diet with vitamin D3, It helps the immune system.

Magnotherapy is yet another natural cure

Magnotherapy is yet another natural cure.Magnets placed in the correct way could help to cure many diseases and illnesses and ailments are caused by electrical imbalance within the body. When magnets are worn close to the pulse they react to the 4% iron content within the blood, triggering tiny electrical impulses, similar to the body's own natural repair signals.
This magnetism also attracts blood directly to the areas within the body that need healing, and carrying away damaged and toxic material which cause pain or distress to the patient.

It also helps to stimulate the production of the body's own natural painkiller, endorphine, which not only relieves pain, relaxes the body's stimuli, thus negating the effects of stress, migraine and other pressure induced ailments.

Magnotherapy can treat the following conditions  : Hey fever, Insomnia, Stress, Anxiety, Neck Pains, Tachycardia, Tennis elbow, Morning sickness, High cholesterol, Digestive problems, Pain, Arthritis, Painful periods, Rheumatism, Joint pain, Phlebitis, Ankle pains, Gout, Varicose veins, Knee pain, Poor circulation, Lack of mobility, Sciatica, Wrist pain, Back Pains, High blood pressure, Muscular pains, Respiration problems, Frozen shoulder, Migraine headaches, Unexplained tiredness, Asthma.

Super plant is boosting health in Africa

A miricle plant  found in Seirra Leon called the Moringa plant native to northen India. The moringa plant is a natural cure-all.


In a recent interview with AFP, Agriculture Minister Sam Sesay described Moringa as "the most nutritious plant on earth, and each and every part of it has nutritional and medicinal values that have the propensity to cure over 300 diseases, including hypertension and diabetes."

The Moringa plant, native to northern India, has been called the "tree of life" and its use is spreading in Africa, advocates say, where it can prevent diseases and malnutrition and even boost development by creating job opportunities.

Sharing the Worry

One habit Richard and I got into when I was at my worst was to share the worry. Some days I was so laden with worry -- What if I can't get an appointment with the one specialist who can cure me? What if I have to wait three months to see her? What if she winds up letting me down too? What if the new meds undo whatever slim good the old meds were providing? What if I'm in too much pain to make it to my niece's graduation celebration next year? What if... what if... what if...???

A wise person once said to me, "Don't worry twice." Don't pre-worry about a set of circumstances that live in the future. Good advice....but...

Sometimes worrying was the most energetic I could be. Worrying kept me tethered to the possibility of some other reality, one in which I didn't suffer, in which I didn't have to watch Richard flail, helpless to make me better.

Sometimes worrying was the only lifeline I could muster. You know what I mean?

But sometime worrying became too encompassing, too heavy. It flattened me.

Those were the times when Richard would step in and ask me if he could carry some of my worry load. "What can you let go of, even for an hour?" he would ask. There was always something. I pretended to put it on the table, and he pretended to pick it up. Sometimes, you are what you pretend to be, and this little scenario would often make me feel a bit lighter. On more enlightened days, I would realize that if I could let go of one worry, why not two, five, all of them. As long as Richard was safeguarding them for me and could return them upon request, I could let them go.

What do you do with your worries - as ill or as well partner? Do you protect your partner from them? Do you share them? Do they overwhelm you quietly? Do you release them?

Celery seeds may lower blood pressure and cholesterol

Ayurvedic medicine used celery seed to treat colds, flu, water retention, poor digestion, various types of arthritis, and certain diseases of the liver and spleen. Celery seeds where tested on animals and it was found that celery could reduce blood pressure and cholesterol levels, as well as protecting the liver from damage, but researchers don't know weather this would be true in people.


In humans researchers have found that a diet rich in lutein, which is found in celery where less likely to develop colorectol cancer. Celery seed is available online, at Holland and Barrett, and other good health food shops.

Dont skip breakfast

Some people skip breakfast because they think it will help them lose weight but missing meals does not help us lose weight and it is not good for us, because we can miss out on essential vitamins, minerals and nutrients.

Research shows that eating breakfast can actually help people control their weight.


So why not go for a bowl of wholegrain cereal with sliced banana and a glass of fruit juice for a healthy start to the day?. Or you could try some porridge oats they are cheap and contain lots of vitamins, minerals and fibre. Make your porridge with semi-skimmed or skimmed milk or water.


If you add salt to your porridge, try to get out of the habit. You could add a few dried apricots, chucks of apple or some berries for extra flavor instead. 


This combined with a healthy exercise plan will keep you living for ever lol!

Many of you probably read about or saw clips of Pat Robertson's recent foot-in-mouth episode. He recopmmended that a man who had been taking care of his wife who is ill with Alzheimer's think of her as the "walking dead" and get a divorce and find a new companion. Oh yes, and make sure his wife is getting good "custodial" care.

WHAT!!!!!! you may say.

Well here is what I and my colleague said in a recent op ed published in the Chicago Tribune:

Pat Robertson is dead wrong

By Barbara Kivowitz and Roanne Weisman

September 23, 2011

A person with Alzheimer's is not "kind of" dead. Not by a long shot. And televangelist Pat Robertson should know better than to speak flippantly from a position of authority on a matter that is complicated, nuanced and deeply personal.

As we learned through interviews with many couples, as well as with medical, spiritual, legal, rehabilitation and psychological experts, while writing "In Sickness As In Health: Helping Couples with the Complexities of Illness," couples find their way to deal with illnesses and catastrophic injuries.

We know what we are talking about when we say Robertson should beware of trying to make blanket statements without the benefit of knowing all the facts and issues. We have found that dealing with illness is a deeply intimate part of the couple relationship. What is right for one couple may be completely wrong for another.

When illness invades the couple relationship, partners ask themselves and each other some really hard questions: "What do I want to do for this person whom I have loved for many years?" "How much of my life do I give up to take care of my beloved?" "How do I sit by my beloved's side and watch her suffer?"

Robertson's assertion that divorcing a spouse with Alzheimer's is justified because she is "gone" is more than simply callous and insulting to anyone who has ever loved another. It goes to the heart of both morality and medical ethics. Physicians struggle every day to counsel families about the right time to cut off life support. Ethicists struggle to balance the impact of devastating disease with the persistence of the essential self.

To announce that someone is "gone" when she still has an emotional life — not to mention sensation in her skin, organs and tissues — is to dismiss her as a human being.

For those who find themselves at the intersection of lifetime love and overwhelming obligation, the right path is often painful and difficult to find. Robertson should have counseled this husband — and all partners grieving over the illness of their loved one — to seek psychological support, medical information, spiritual guidance and ultimately to look inside themselves and their relationship to determine the right thing to do. Instead he advised the husband of the ill woman to make sure the wife has custodial care before divorcing her and starting all over again.

He presumes too much.

Barbara Kivowitz, a consultant and psychotherapist in Boston, and Roanne Weisman, a science writer and author in Boston, are co-authors of the forthcoming book "In Sickness As In Health: Helping Couples Cope with the Complexities of Illness."

Honey can combat more than 60 types of bacteria and has been healing wounds for 2,000 years

Thursday March 4,2010

FROM honey and peppermint to vinegar and garlic, Mother Nature has a host of cures. Adrian Lee recommends the best

Centuries ago we relied on nature for treating our wounds and warding off bugs. Now the spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria such as MRSA is reviving interest in these ancient remedies.

“Our ancestors had their own antibiotics,” says Dr Serene Foster, a medical herbalist at Hydes Herbal Clinic in Leicester. “They didn’t know why they worked but they found many medical uses for them.

“We do need more research, because natural treatments must stand up to modern scrutiny, but it seems they boost the body’s own immune system, and we should consider using them with, or even instead of conventional drugs.”

You should consult a registered herbalist or GP before using natural remedies – especially some of the more obscure ones – but here are some of Mother Nature’s best natural anti-bacterials. Please see  article

The latest help to prevent memory loss

 A cocktail of vitamin B could help to stop the onset of Alzheimer's or memory loss. The breakthrough came at a research done at Oxford university. Vitamin B is known to break down homocysteine which is naturally made by the body in high amounts, so researchers decided to see if giving the vitamin  to patients would improve their memory. The tablet which costs only 10p per day contained high doses of vitamin B6, B9, and B12.


This is what one patient John Hough said >



See the full report here

A possible cure for the superbug

 Coriander could become a natural alternative to common antibiotics. It would seem that the herb extract is resistant to a range of toxic bacteria which cause infections  such as the superbug MRSA, salmanella and Ecoli. Coriander could be used in lotions, mouth rinses and even pills to fight multidrug-resistant bacterial infections that otherwise could not be treated. You can see more of this report here.

What Couple-Related Decisions Have You Made Because of Illness?

There is so much uncertainty that accompanies illness, but one thing is certain -- illness brings change into how you think about yourself and your relationship. Illness can be a suppressant, but it can also be an activator. Illness can become a box into which you and your partner put your dreams; or it can be a catalyst to accelerating plans and making new decisions.

My illness led to our getting the most amazing dog in the universe (as is yours). It also led to writing a book about couples and illness. And it deepened Richard's and my ability to talk about the hardest topics.

Below is an excerpt from an article about a couple who decided to get married because he was about to undergo surgery for a cancerous tumor.

Geneva couple marries days before life-threatening surgery

by Frank Vaisvils, 8/31/11

David Bieszke of Geneva wasn’t going to give up on asking his girlfriend of 18 years, Jennifer Pedersen, to marry him, and she returned that persistence by insisting doctors treat her would-be husband for his chronic illness even when they were told nothing was wrong.

David’s health slowly deteriorated in recent years, and his family doctor was perplexed about the cause. Meanwhile, David experienced chronic fatigue and pain began growing in his abdomen.

In April, Jennifer’s persistence led doctors to diagnose David with a 10-inch cancerous tumor choking a major blood vessel in his chest.

He underwent a six-hour surgery on April 29 at Loyola Hospital in Maywood.

Fearing she might regret not marrying him if anything happened during surgery, Jennifer finally said “yes” to David and the two were married in front of a Kane County judge three days before the surgery.

At a time when most newly married couples would be celebrating their future together, this pair’s fate was anything but certain as David entered the operating room.

You should also look to increase levels of folic acid and vitamin B12. Strong supplements of garlic capsules are also reccomended.

Is There a Cure for Divorce?

While this article doesn't refer to illness, I thought it might be interesting to you for it's take on how to thwart divorce. Divorce and serious illness are not strangers to each other. In one study, when the man became ill, only 3 percent experienced the end of a marriage; but among women, about 21 percent ended up separated or divorced.

Excerpts from:

IS THERE A CURE FOR DIVORCE?

by David Wygant

Huffington Post

8/22/11

.....A relationship does not just end over night. It takes time. But there is that point in the relationship where the marriage "jumps the shark," as they say. It's often that one thing that happens over and over again, without the ability to change or compromise, and both partners emotionally close down on each other.

So when that one thing comes up, instead of shutting down, putting up your dukes, or setting down your battleground lines--basically letting your ego take over--what if that moment, when everything started going haywire, you actually do the exact opposite of what you normally do? What if, instead, you thought to yourself, "What does my partner need right now, what does my partner need today that makes them feel loved, and how can I provide that for them?"

So many times we really do know how to love the other partner, we know what they need and how to provide it. But we refuse to do those things because they're not doing things for us, they're not giving us what we want. That's probably how the majority of relationships end. The If-you-don't-do-it-for-me-I'm-not-going-to-do-it-for-you syndrome, and then a couple years later you're divorced, angry, pissed off, and ready to start over with the hope of a fresh new relationship. One that will probably repeat itself if you did not learn the lesson the first time around.

We refuse to love our partner the way they need, so the battlegrounds are drawn. Once the battlegrounds are drawn, you can kiss that relationship goodbye because there is no way in the world you're going to give in at that point. And neither is your partner. It often becomes a very dangerous tit-for-tat game that has no chance in hell of ever surviving or finding the love in the relationship again.

Relationships are a beautiful thing, and we could cut down on the divorce rate dramatically if we just spent a little bit of time every single day loving our partners instead of responding by how they treat or have treated us.....

Your thoughts?

Daring to Hope?

I recently started a new medication, which may be having a positive effect on my pain condition. This is the first major, desirable shift in over ten years.



For the first few months on this medication, I couldn't even allow myself to think that my pain could be controlled with only one, relatively benign drug. And I certainly couldn't express hope out loud. I did not want to offer any bait to evil spirits lingering in my vicinity, eager to pounce on optimism and turn it into yet another disappointment.



Over the years I have consulted most genres of specialists - from neurologists to gynecologists to uro-gynecologists to orthopedists to rheumatologists. I even saw a tropical medicine specialist. In my desperation, I also wandered over onto the fringe side of the healing spectrum and got some comfort from crystals and potions - although no decrease in my pain.



I have been primed to expect defeat. Richard, an optimist and scientist, has always believed in probability. And probability tells him that if I try enough options, some of them will work. His mantra has been: "There's always something more to try."



More often than not, I found this phrase to be exhausting. It left me feeling like a parched wanderer in an endless desert forcing myself to rise up to scale one more sand dune in the hopes of reaching an ever-vanishing oasis.



Recently, Richard began to give voice to hopes of recovery. I told him, "Shush. Be quiet." I'm not ready yet to broadcast.



For now, reaching toward hope is harder than anticipating more pain.

Dislocated Shoulder -- Relationship Realignment

While hiking a steep mountain trail on vacation in Acadia National Park in Maine, my foot found the only rock with slime on it. I went down with a bang and dislocated my shoulder.

Richard and I had to hike back up to the road and hail a ride to the local hospital. Now, I've known pain, years of it. But this pain was a new taste treat and had me groaning and cursing and counting down the seconds until the nurse dripped some morphine into my vein, and then some more.

They were able to relocate my shoulder fairly easily and with that, the pain subsided.

Richard was by my side throughout -- helping me hike to the road, holding my stuff, sitting by my bed in the hospital. He was present and hugely helpful. And as the days passed and I had to learn to meet the world left-handed, he continued to be responsive to my requests for assistance and to problem solve.

He was wonderful, but I felt alone and wanted more -- and illegitimate for feeling greedy when he was trying so hard.

What was missing for me was overt empathy. At the same time I worked to be independent and do it all myself, I was a wounded bird who just wanted to be sheltered and babied. I did my best to tie my shoelaces one-handed while trying to ignore my yearnings to have my needs anticipated without speaking them aloud and to be cuddled and coddled and told that it would all be OK.

After a few days, I could no longer sustain this inner tension. I was growing weary of the strain and resentful of Richard's helpfulness without emotional empathy. We finally had a talk.

I tried to tell him what I was missing without blaming him for not providing it. I cheered his efforts at practical support and told him, as explicitly as I could, that I both accepted him and loved him, and still felt the sadness of not getting the kind of loving my injury had awakened.

He listened. And he tried to give me more emotional support. When he saw me struggle to wrap my sling around my shoulder he said to me, "I am so sorry you're having to go through this. I wish I could make it all better." His saying that made it far better for me than any attempts to help me adjust my sling.

The more I thought about the specifics of my current situation, the more I realized that the condition of being in a close relationship periodically involves the existence of a gap between what you get and what you feel you want. The gap of life.

The tricky part is not to deny the reality and legitimacy of your wants; while at the same time not punishing your partner for not fulfilling them and (and this is the trickiest bit) accepting him, with love and gratitude, for who he is and for staying in the conversation with you.

To hold both the love and the sadness, and sit side-by-side in the gap of life, together.

Do you know what I mean?

What Do You Do When Illness Makes Sex Impossible?

What do you do when your partner is no longer interested in or capable of sexual intimacy with you?

Illness takes many tolls, on both partners. One of them is too often sexual intimacy. Medications, pain, and exhaustion can not only turn a libido off, but it can also make intercourse painful for the ill partner. The well partner may be just too drained after a long day of caretaking, working, caring for the kids, and running the household to want anything more intimate than falling asleep side-by-side. And the shift illness produces in some partner relationship -- turning a bond of equals into one of caretaker - patient -- can make sex feel like a taboo.

For some couples, their sexual connection had always been a source of joy that filtered into the rest of the relationship, making it glow. For other couples, sex was routine and its effects remained in the bedroom. For others, sex was never a strong part of the connection.

Whatever your pre-illness sexual habits were, illness too often disturbs them. Intercourse may no longer be possible. Even touching can be problematic. Some couples whose sexual experiences were mainly physical, now find they actually have to talk about what feels good and what doesn't.

Through talking about sex, couples may find themselves entering surprisingly deeper levels of connection, and describing desires that before illness were invisible.

Some couples find ways of being intimate without intercourse. Some are able to stay connected without any form of physical intimacy. Some break apart. Some partners seek sex outside of the relationship, with or without the knowledge of their partner. (note: for the sake of safety and integrity, I would recommend that this be discussed between the partners).

I'm interested in hearing about your situation. Has your sexual relationship changed? How have you managed to deal with illness and physical intimacy?

Live long and prosper.

Live long and prosper the natural healthy way. So what are the golden rules to living a long life. Well I would say first, Don't smoke. Smoking will reduce  the amount of time that you live. Keep alcohol to a minimum. Eat a varied diet, and don't eat too much. When eating make sure you include lots of fruit and vegetables. Make sure you have a breakfast as this is the most important meal of the day. Take a good quality multi vitamin and mineral tablet each day. Exercise every day, you may be a member of the gym. If you are then that is great if not then you will have to make sure you walk quickly for at least 30 minutes per day. Enough to bring yourself to a sweat. Follow this guideline every day and you should live long and prosper.


I would just like you to know that I don't practice what I preach. Yes I don't smoke, but I do drink alcohol, more than I should. I don't have enough fruit. I have to force myself to eat it. I like vegetables, but don't get enough. I eat the wrong foods, I know, and I don't exercise enough. I do walk every day, but not enough. I would think what I do is about average, with all my readers, am I right?. Please feel free to comment, I would love to hear from you.

Old remedy new cures

Sugar is used in African countries as a natural cure for wounds, leg sores and leg ulcers. The sugar is sprinkled on to the wound and this draws all the moisture out. Bacteria needs water to be able to survive, and because there is no moisture  the wound heals. 


A six month study has been done at Selly Oak hospital in Birmingham involving 21 patients whose wound had not responded to conventional treatment. The study showed that sprinkling sugar on to the wound kills the bacteria that prevents healing. It is said that the natural treatment of sugar could save the NHS billions of pounds.


You may know an older person who has a leg wound, or leg ulcer that just will not heal, this can cause considerable pain. Try sprinkling a little sugar to the wound along with vitamin c supplement 1-3 grams per day taken orally and see if this provides relief from the condition. Please feel free to comment on this.

When You Feel Your Partner's Pain

This is a guest post written by Patricia Walling. It is a fascinating topic. Enjoy!

We often feel like when we really love someone we can feel their pain, and their suffering affects us greatly. Usually we explain this to ourselves as being the result of really caring about the one we love, and that it's completely a matter of the heart, but that may not be entirely the case. A recent study done at Monash University in Australia by Bernadette Fitzgibbon and some of her colleagues reveals that some people not only empathize with the pain of others, but can also feel it themselves. The study was done by using electroencephalography to monitor the brainwaves of amputees observing images of other people’s hands and feet in potentially painful situations. As it turns out, even if they don't normally feel phantom pain in their amputated limbs, amputees will actually feel real pain if they see others in pain or about to be in pain. This effect is called synaesthetic pain, which comes from the Greek syn-, together, and aisthe-, to feel or perceive.

Fitzgibbon and others propose that amputees are more able to feel synaesthetic pain in these instances due to a pain hypersensitivity, owing to the traumatic event of losing a limb. When we are threatened, our minds go into overdrive and are hypervigilant to pain anyway, and this is even more pronounced for those who have experienced such traumatic pain. This is much like when you are waiting to get a shot at the doctor's office, and the anticipation the pain of getting stuck with a needle is that much worse than if it happened randomly. Yet while you're waiting for the office to write up your bill and you watch someone else get a shot, something called our mirror neurons are also at work, making us wince when they stick them. These are the parts of our brain that allow us to “feel” the emotions of others, and enjoy drama in the theater.

However, that we can feel the suffering of others as though it were our own is nothing new to committed couples. Once my partner cut his hand wide open while cooking, and I could hardly look at it to bind it because it felt as though my own hand were cut open. In the past, I explained this experience as a result of our closeness, and that it was nothing to worry about. But with this new knowledge in mind, it is important to remember that when our partners are hurting, we hurt too. It can be easy to write it off as heartache and continue caring for them as much as we can, but we can end up hurting just as much, literally. Whether you're a full time caregiver or just helping your partner get through a nasty cold, it is important to remember that you also need to take care of yourself.
