Natural uses of vitamin P

Bioflavonoids or vitamin P as it is also known are complex compounds closely associated with vitamin C. You will sometimes see bioflavonoids combined with vitamin C when you buy vitamin C supplements. You may already know from some of my older posts how effective higher doses of vitamin C have been inrelation to my health, in dealing with various illness and complaints that I have suffered.

Bioflavonoids enhance the effectiveness of vitamin C and is a potent antioxidant. Together with vitamin C they strengthen the capillaries and help prevent excessive menstrual bleeding. They are also anti-viral and anti-inflammatory, protect from free radicals and inhibit histamine release.

Bioflavonoids have  potent anti-carcinogenic activity, which has been shown to inhibit the growth of several types of cancer cells, including breast cancer, ovarian cancer and leukaemia. Onions and garlic are a rich source of quercetin, a bioflavonoid which has been found to be effective in healing wounds, preventing diabetic cataracts, and treating oral herpes.

More unknown remedies that could cure

Jatropha stimulosa is a poisonous plant which grows in the southern areas of America. However it's seeds are known to have some natural medicinal properties which could help to cure diseases such as cancer. It was reccomended, by a doctor as an alternative treatment for syphilis.

Jatropha stimulosa is commonly known as bull nettle, and it's seeds can be used as a natural remedy. The latex of Jatropha contains an alkaloid known as "Jetrophine"  and although research is being done into use as an alternative bioenergy, medicinal research is looking into it's properties as an anti-cancerous cure.

It is without doubt that this unusual remedy needs more research, however early signs are optermistic about it being a leading cure for cancer and other illness.

Do natural cures work?


What do you think?, do natural cures work for you?. I am always looking for new ideas and ways to use alternative health, and would rather go down the natural health remedy route, than the conventional way. My own personal experience of natural remedies has been mixed. The most succesful supplement has to be high doses of vitamin c which as you may know from older posts I have used for the treatment of flu type viruses and illness. Vitamin c in higher doses is yet to prove that it can protect me from heart disease and cancer's, I hope that it will.

5-HTP has been very useful in the treatment of anxiety, but only in the early stages. I have tried other home remedies such a valerian with only limited success, it may be that such remedies as valerian need to be given more time to work, say three months or more, I did not give the remedy that long, so I may try it again in the future.

Garlic supplements in higher doses may be useful in the protection against illness such as viruses, high blood pressure and high levels of bad cholesterol, but again I cannot be sure that garlic is helping.

What are your experiences of natural healing using alternative ways such as remedies and supplements, please reply in comments leaving you url. Thank you.

The Guilt of Illness


The sick partner feels guilty for being sick. For changing the game plan of the relationship. For not being able to do the things s/he used to, things ordinary couples get to do without a second thought. For having a hard day. For eating up savings that should have gone to the kids' college fund or retirement.

The well partner feels guilty for being well. For being in a different place than the ill partner. For being able to still socialize, do sports, even have some fun. For not being able to make the ill partner better. For feeling angry, afraid, and exhausted. For wishing this would all stop and get back to the way things used to be.

What's the benefit of carrying so much guilt? Not much.

Guilt doesn't act as a bridge, creating a conduit between two struggling people. Guilt can't repair health. Guilt doesn't bring laughter into the room.

Guilt turns off the lights and shuts the door.

Two guilt-ridden partners means two people hunkered down in their separate corners, hiding from the light in each others' eyes. Each person, alone, feeling bad over something they had no hand in making.

What's the way out of guilt?

Stand up, hold each other, and jointly say, "This sucks." Not, "I'm bad," or "You're bad." but rather: "The situation we are in is terrible. We are both so sad that this is changing the future we had planned. I'll be with you when you are hurting. I'll give you space when you need it."

Where do you feel guilt? How does it affect you? What do you do about it?

Check it out at Dr. Anonymous. Many diverse and interesting posts.

Uncommon remedy for heart disease and strokes.


Liquidambar, or Sweet gum as it is also known is a diciduous tree found in North America. Tinctures can be extracted from its bark and used as an unusual remedy for natural healing. The fruits contain beturonic acid, a substance that appears to protect the liver from damage by extremely toxic dry-cleaning chemicals such as Carbon tetrachloride.

Traditionally the fruits are used in Taiwan for liver problems and hepatitis.

Liquidambar has analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and anti-rheumatic properties and thus promotes healing. In North America it is used to heal wounds and for skin complaints. It is interesting to note that Liquidambar has other medicinal uses, such as in treating strokes, infantile convulsions, coma, heart disease and pruritus. Externally it can be mixed with olive oil for scabies.


You can buy Liquidambar tablets online, although you would be best advised to check with your natural therapist first.
