Bronchiectasis: Relief can be Found the natural way

I have been diagnosed with bronchiectasis, a rare condition which effects the lungs. Bronchiectasis is enlargement of the bronchial tubes, loss of elasticity, scarring, and destruction of cilia instrumental in protecting the lungs from dust, bacteria, and excess mucus.

I wanted to see if there where any natural ways I could help this condition. Natural remedies are available that can help to prevent lung infections and reverse its symptoms.

One remedy that can offer relief, eliminate, and prevent infection is colloidal silver. Colloidal silver kills one-celled pathogens, even those becoming resistant to antibiotics. Besides taking it internally, nebulizing with colloidal silver and lobelia will help clear the air passages, eliminating unwanted mucus.

If you know of any other natural therapy that can help bronchiectasis please contact asap.

Broken Heart Syndrome

Broken heart syndrome -- not just an invention of romance novelists. Takotusbo cardiomyopathy, or sudden heart failure linked to extreme stress, is also known as broken heart syndrome and is most prevalent in post-menopausal women. The heart receives a flood of stress hormones that causes ballooning of the left ventricle, chest pains, shortness of breath, and an irregular heartbeat. An especially stressful physical or emotional situation, such as a traumatic injury or the sudden death of a family member, can set off an attack.

Richard and I have joked that we want to die at the same moment at the age of 90 while scuba diving of Grand Cayman Island. Neither one of us wants to survive the other for very long. What follows is a sad-sweet story of a long-term partners who died minutes apart from each other.

"James and Marjorie Landis of Westmont, Pa., were married and inseparable for 65 years. They died this week just 88 minutes apart.

Marjorie, 87, passed away Monday after a long illness.

James, 88, died an hour and 28 minutes later of a heart attack. He was at his wife's side when she died.

"The last thing he said to her was, 'It's OK. I love you. We had many good years goether. I will see you real soon,'" said the couple's granddaughter, Erin Miller.

'I just think he died of a broken heart. I don’t think they could have lived apart from each other.'

The cause of the death of bereaved longtime spouses, the study found, can be a condition known as takotusbo cardiomyopathy or sudden heart failure linked to an emotional experience. Some experts have dubbed the condition 'broken heart syndrome.'"

Now cracked fingertips

Following my post about the problem with my finger nails. At this time of year,ie in the cold weather, I suffer from cracked fingertips which although may seem very trivial is actually very painful. It is truly amazing how much you use your fingertips. I am using them now as I type out this post. So I went in search of natural ways to cure and heal this condition. I found that vitamin E oil may help as may Nizoral shampoo, used to wash the hands about three times per week. Also aloa vera oil may help in the healing process.

Other natural treatment that I could try is tea tree oil although put straight on to the split could be a little painful. No I have just tryed it and it does not hurt. I thought that perhaps, one of my favourite healers, Manuka honey may help however it is rather an expensive way of treating the condition. Please add your natural cures for cracked fingertips in comments. Thank you.

Please diagnose me

Today I went to dermatology at my local hospital about the problem I have with my finger nails and toe nails. They  are similar to the image above only a little worse, nails broken and white areas covering the nail, some areas of the nail are thick with nail as if it where growing up and down rather than straight out. The senior registrar took all my details bearing in mind the problem with my chest, my stomach ulcer and hiatus hernia.
I have had this condition now for about ten years and doctors do not seem to know what it is. A fungal nail infection seems likely however it seems to be not conclusive. The senior registrar took nail and skin samples and asked me to come back.

I have tried my own methods of healing the natural way such as using Tea tree oil, vinegar, aloe vera, but I have not tried the more obscure natural healing methods such as vicks vapour rub and WD-40, not together of course If the hospital are unable to cure my nail problem then I will continue to look for natural treatment. I may even use diagnose-me.com, an online way of finding my illness. I will keep you posted about the outcome.

What Happens When the Caretaking Partner Gets Sick?

She is in her late fifties. A financial planning executive with a successful bi-coastal business that requires frequent flying and rushed meals. While not athletic, she has always been active. In that out-of-nowhere way that illness sometimes hits, she came down with a systemic infection that flattened her and almost literally took her breath away. Sitting exhausted her, and any activity left her panting for air. She has been treated for the past six months with a combination of antibiotics, steroids, and rest. She is not who she was, and is still discovering who she can be.

Her husband has been a loving and attentive caretaker. He took charge of their interactions with the world - from grocery shopping to medical specialist hunting. When she was too exhausted to shower, he bathed her. He went to every doctor visit with her and remembered the information she was too distracted to hold onto. Her job was to rest and recover. He took care of everything else.

Then, he was clipped by a car while riding his bicycle. His ankle was broken. Now he is in pain, and his mobility is severely limited. And he feels rotten - for himself and for the ways in which he can no longer help her.

They are trying their best to be kind and loving to each other; that has always been their way. But pain and exhaustion take a toll on the best intentions.

They have a community of friends who are pitching in to help. And they have an excellent collection of take-out menus from restaurants that deliver.

Underneath the practical and emotional strains, they are strong, and they are scared. A lot - like laundry and work projects - doesn't get done. They look to the future for signs that things will get better because the present is one big ball of uncertainty and hurt.

Have you ever been in the situation where the caretaking partner got sick or had an accident? How did that affect your living situation? And what helped you cope?

One simple natural cure

The media has been reporting about the importance of sunshine. Are we getting enough?. If not then that could result in our bodies not containing enough vitamin D, and as a result of that we could be at the risk of getting illness like heat disease or even cancer. The following article was in the Daily Mail.

One nutrient is generating excitement in the medical profession: vitamin D.
Low levels of the ‘sunshine vitamin’ have been linked to conditions ranging from colds to heart disease, diabetes, multiple sclerosis and cancer.
Last week, it was reported low levels may be linked to cot death.

Yesterday came the news that vitamin D can boost fertility in men and women.

Vitamin D not only helps the body absorb calcium (vital for healthy bones), but also plays a part in the immune system by helping reduce inflammation in the body.

So perhaps supplements of vitamin D may help, but a word of warning don't overdose on the vitamin as that can do more harm than good.
