Naturopathy can cure disease.

The best natural way to cure disease and illness such as cancer is prevention. You can incorporate naturopathic remedies such as improved nutrition  and vitamin supplements into your recovery strategy.
Various anti-cancer diets share some similar principles: high fibre, low fat, mostly vegan, and avoiding salt and sugar.
Antioxidants are recommended: Beta carotene, found in carrots, high doses of vitamin c and e, and zinc. Grape seed extract, available in supplements is another powerful antioxidant.
Abnormal cervical cells have been linked with a deficiency in folic acid, which is depleted by the pill and smoking.

The latest natural cure.

I am searching for the latest natural cure. A new break-though on a natural way of curing illness and disease such as cancer. If you know of a new way or curing in a natural way please leave your comment below, it should be a cure from 2011.

My health and your health

I am really worried about my health at the moment. You can call me a hypercondric if you want, but it is true. I think it is a good job I had the flu jab as I think it could of been worse. It is a chest infection that started before Christmas. It keeps coming back. I am sure the vitamins and natural products that I have been  Taking will help such as 1-4 grams of vitamin c per day. A powerful garlic supplement, and a Probiotic Acidophilus supplement with 1 billion active cultures in each chewable tablet.

Function

1. Acidophilus lactobacillus is a live microorganism found in the intestinal tract and vagina---it aids in preventing harmful organisms from building up in the body. According to the Connecticut Center for Health (CCH), acidophilus can be destroyed by antibiotics and replaced by supplements.

Benefits

2. Acidophilus improves digestion, treats most intestinal problems and helps reduce the risk of colon cancer, reports the CCH. Acidophilus reduces the level of bad bacteria in the GI tract, normalizes cholesterol and aids in the digestion of lactose.

Effects

3. According to the CCH, acidophilus restores the balance of microflora in the vagina. It treats and prevents bacterial vaginosis, yeast infections and urinary tract infections.

Supplements

4. Acidophilus is often found in supplemental drinks and pills; however, finding a quality product may prove difficult. Ask your doctor to recommend a high-quality acidophilus supplement.

Aging and Illness

Those of us who have been living with illness or a chronic condition (as either the ill or well partner) understand too well the deals we make with life and with each other. The biggest one is that illness must now be a part of our relationship and our choices. We can't take the commonplace for granted. Illness won't let us. The ordinary comes with the caveat - if I'm feeling well enough....

It is estimated that in the US, by the time we reach age 65 we will have one illness or disability, and by the time we reach 85, we may have 3 or 4. And if both partners are aging, the complications of managing multiply. Can we both stay in our home? Do we, and can we afford, help? Live-in help? What about assisted living? And what if one of us needs a nursing home and the other doesn't? What difficult choices!

A few weeks ago an article in the New York Times discussed the issue of aging and illness. It's a good read, and has, imho, a great title:

In Sickness & In Heath by Paula Span

Here's how it begins:

"For several years, the professor and his wife, who has Parkinson’s disease, managed in their house in Cambridge, Mass. But two years ago, finding living on their own too difficult, they moved together into an assisted living facility.

The professor, retired from M.I.T., was in good health and didn’t need personal care. So I wondered: Why not move just his wife, whose mobility would deteriorate, and visit her regularly from his own home?

He sounded puzzled at the question. Live apart? “That never occurred to me,” he said. “She’s my wife.”

As is often the case, though, assisted living proved only a temporary solution. His wife developed intensifying dementia and needed more care than the facility could provide. In November, at 85, she moved to another facility in a neighboring town. The professor stayed behind in assisted living. Now 87, he is living alone for the first time in 55 years."

Alternative cures from the deep.

So vast are the oceans that new cures for diseases such as cancer are yet to be discovered. However a break-though is just around the corner. I found this article about alternative cures from the sea.

Medicines From the Deep

Many drugs that are used today -- like statin drugs used to lower cholesterol and aspirin -- have originated from natural sources. Now researchers are hoping to find compounds that could one day soon be used to treat everything from infectious diseases to cancer under the sea. Some of the most intriguing discoveries to date include:

Iscodermolide: A potent anti-tumor agent isolated from a deep-water sponge.
Topsentin: An anti-inflammatory substance from a deep-water sponge that could help treat arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease and skin irritations, and protect against colon cancer and Alzheimer's disease.
Horboxazole: A substance made by an Indian Ocean sponge that can inhibit the growth of a wide range of tumor cell types. "It uses a different mechanism to any known drug, it's unlike anything else," said Tadeusz Molinski, a professor of chemistry at the University of California, Davis.

Marine life can survive extreme conditions like cold, darkness and intense pressure, and many contain unique toxins to ward off enemies. Many of these compounds could have potential uses in treating human disease.

Discodermolide: A compound produced by a deep-water sponge from the Bahamas that is being tested as a potential cancer treatment.
Prialt: A drug approved in the United States that's made from the venom of the Pacific cone snail. More powerful than morphine, but without the addicting effects, the Pacific cone snail's venom was used to make this potent painkiller. NOTE: (taken from the drug's Web site) Severe psychiatric symptoms and neurological impairment may occur during treatment with PRIALT. Patients with a pre-existing history of psychosis should not be treated with PRIALT.
