(NaturalNews) In Traditional Chinese Medicine, Lyme disease is treated as toxic fire. These fire toxins are treated with extreme heat clearing herbs. From the western point of view, fire toxins include aggressive entities such as bacterial and viral infections but are not limited to them. They can be amoebic parasites and even just toxins of chemical nature or metal particles. Likewise, from a western point of view, the heat clearing herbs have been proven to have a very effective anti-viral and antibacterial action as well as a “cleansing of the blood” effect on other small particles.

Below is a TCM protocol for Lyme Disease grouped into three parts: Read the rest of this entry »

Q: I’m worried about my son. For the past month, he’s been telling me his knee hurts. He hasn’t been injured. He’s just 13 — is it possible for him to have arthritis? I hate to just pump him full of painkillers. I’d rather find out what the root cause of this could be.

Dr. Wright: When knee pain occurs in children between the ages of 10 and 15, it’s not typically arthritis. Instead, it’s usually a condition called Osgood Schlatter’s disease, which is characterized by a tender swelling an inch or two below the kneecap, right over the front and top of the tibial bone.

Q: I’ve noticed recently that the backs of my hands are a bit puffy and swollen. Do you have any information as to what might be causing this?

Dr. Wright: While I can’t say for sure without examining your hands (and you should consider having this done by a physician skilled in natural medicine), a Texas physician named John Ellis discovered years ago that many conditions involving the hands can be alleviated with vitamin B6.

The first thing to do is look for “Ellis signs” in your hands. Try holding your hands upright, keeping the joints joining your palms and fingers perfectly straight. Now try and bending the middle and end joints so that your fingertips touch your palms. If you can’t do it, it’s a positive “Ellis sign,” which could indicate a need for extra vitamin B6.

You may want to consider taking 100 milligrams of vitamin B6 three times daily for up to six months, or until all the puffiness and the “Ellis sign” is gone, and your hands are more flexible. And, if you’re interested, you can try to find an old copy of Dr. Ellis’ book The Doctor Who Looked at Hands at the library or on the Internet.

An Australian colleague of Dr. Jonathon Wright’s - Dr. Christopher Reading of Sydney - treated 100 people with so-called “incurable” lupus. All of them had full-blown symptoms (which include joint pain, fever and skin rash) and they weren’t just imagining it. They all tested positive for lupus in blood tests.

Yet soon their symptoms vanished and five years later all blood tests came up negative. They were cured.

And all they really did was take some vitamins and cut a few foods from their diet…

Eliminating all grains except rice and corn. You see, these lupus sufferers all shared a sensitivity to gluten, a protein contained in wheat, rye, barley, spelt and oats, but notin corn or rice.

Prostate enlargement (benign prostatic hypertrophy or BPH) sometimes seems an inevitable hazard of male aging. A small minority of men notice symptoms of hesitancy (taking longer than usual to urinate), one or more trips to the bathroom at night, and diminished force of the urine stream as early as in their 40s. Many more develop these symptoms in their 50s, and the numbers only increase with age. Its unusual to encounter a man in his 70s or 80s who’s had no symptoms of prostate enlargement at all.

Q: I’ve read your articles on the benefits of testosterone, but I was wondering if there is anything I could do to help my body make more testosterone on its own before opting for bio-identical testosterone replacement?

Dr. Wright: If your testosterone levels are low, or even just slightly lower than normal, you can actually raise them without taking testosterone itself. Zinc (30-50 milligrams daily), vitamin A (40,000-50,000 IU daily), and boron (3 milligrams daily) can help, especially in younger men. For some men, the herb Tribulus terrestis (250-750 milligrams daily) can improve testosterone and free testosterone levels.

All of these nutrients and herbs are available in natural food stores, vitamin shops, and through numerous online supplement distributors.

Two of the top man-made medical breakthroughs in the past 100 years may also be two of the deadliest and most harmful to you and your loved ones. Further, odds are nearly 100% that you and your loved ones have already been treated with these two “breakthroughs” — and may be at risk of the effects now or in the years to come.

Antibiotics

Antibiotics can work wonders when they’re prescribed for bacterial infections like pneumonia, tuberculosis and meningitis. In this way they truly have been a breakthrough that has saved countless numbers of lives. The problem with antibiotics is that they are often prescribed to treat viruses — against which they are useless. Viruses like upper respiratory infections, measles, mumps, chickenpox, flu, and gastroenteritis are all viral infections, which antibiotics do nothing for. Read the rest of this entry »

Now here’s a disturbing trend. Men are now getting “breast reduction” surgery like never before. The number of surgeries has risen 2,540% in 5 years.1  Even worse, doctors often recommend surgery when it isn’t necessary. Men usually don’t need breast reduction… they need estrogen reduction.

Here’s the reason: Read the rest of this entry »

Recently, I went back to the good old-fashioned cast-iron pots and pans my grandmother used to use. I threw out all my Teflon. As convenient as they are, I won’t use them. The chemical that manufacturers use to prevent food from sticking is called perfluorooctanoate acid (PFOA). This substance is highly toxic to the environment and to the human body.

PFOA gets in your liver, kidneys, and thyroid gland. Men, it gets in your testes. It compromises your immune system. It causes infertility, birth defects, and cancer. And it’s not like washing germs off your hands. It stays in your body for decades. Read the rest of this entry »

In response to growing awareness about the dangers of artificial sweeteners, what does the manufacturer of one of the world’s most notable artificial sweeteners do? Why, rename it and begin marketing it as natural, of course. This is precisely the strategy of Ajinomoto, maker of aspartame, which hopes to pull the wool over the eyes of the public with its rebranded version of aspartame, called “AminoSweet”.

Over 25 years ago, aspartame was first introduced into the European food supply. Today, it is an everyday component of most diet beverages, sugar-free desserts, and chewing gums in countries worldwide. But the tides have been turning as the general public is waking up to the truth about artificial sweeteners like aspartame and the harm they cause to health. The latest aspartame marketing scheme is a desperate effort to indoctrinate the public into accepting the chemical sweetener as natural and safe, despite evidence to the contrary.
