Fight back naturally

There are many things we do not know about perfect health. But we are assured of one unchallenged fact—that nature holds the answers. All we need to do is to discover its secrets. Here are a few of them.

The sun cures

Vital to human health, the sun can heal. If you do not spend any time under the sun, you will be sick, according to Kevin Trudeau in his book, “More Natural Cures Revealed.”

For example, if you are sick now, one of the most important things you should do is to go out in the sun. Able to cure just about any disease, the sun is needed by practically every living thing (with rare exceptions). Thus every living creature needs the sun to survive. Without light, the human body cannot function at optimum levels. And without sunlight, physical abnormalities become prevalent.

Zero sunlight causes depression, weight gain, poor sleep, indigestion, constipation, bad breath, cancer, high blood pressure, arthritis, diabetes, colds/flu, male erectile dysfunction, high cholesterol. The much-asked question is, will the sun cause wrinkles? No. On the contrary, it draws out the internal toxins. The reason why people have cardboard skin after prolonged hours under the sun is because they do not hydrate and are overexposed.

However, if you are nutrient-deficient and don’t get enough of your ABCs, excessive exposure to the sun will cause problems.

Protect your facial complexion. If you are pale and have not had direct sun exposure for years, take in the sun gradually. A drastic four-hour exposure could damage your skin.

Sunbathe for 15 minutes in the early morning, within the first four hours after sunrise, and in the last four hours before sunset. However, with the excessively hot tropical sun, better make that the first three  and the last three hours. A natural breakthrough attested to by many is the therapy called sun gazing.

You may want to refer to their website www.sungazing.com. It seems incredible, if not crazy, but many swear that by gazing directly at the sunrise and sunset, their major health challenges have been eased, if not cured.

According to Mason Dwinell, the optimum level of sun gazing is 44 minutes. There is no need to exceed this dosage, as your therapy is complete. Without shoes, stand on bare earth, sand, or gravel, but not on grass, as it absorbs solar energy. Only gaze when the sun’s ultraviolet radiation is at its lowest, at sunrise and sunset. If it burns your eyes, don’t stare at it. According to this source, the sunrise packs in more energy and nutrients than the sunset.

Standing or seated, stare for 10 seconds (blink if you must) at the sun. Do not squint your eyes. Relax. Take in its energetic goodness. Add five seconds more of gazing time  each day. After completing 44 minutes, it is said you are fully recharged. Benefits include complete energizing and recharging of the system, increased inspiration, and  relaxation of the senses to combat stress.

Vitamin E saves

Numerous studies have been made on vitamin E, and up to now there still rages a controversy over its effectiveness. The public is confuse. It appears that the Natural Source Vitamin E Association in the USA states that natural vitamin E can only exist in a chemically altered esterified form. This form of vitamin E is known to have no antioxidant function in the human body.

According to natural medicine, the best and most active form of vitamin E is the un-esterified, all-natural mixed tocopherol form, made up of alpha, beta gamma, and delta tocopherols. Vitamin E, to this day, is considered by naturopaths as a major player in the fight against heart disease. As a fat soluble antioxidant, it has the ability to stop the production of reactive oxygen species formed when fatty foods undergo oxidation within the body.

Make your diet healthier. It’s the best way to take in vitamin E. Natural sources  include  leafy vegetables, spinach, sugar beet, wheat germ oil, sunflower and safflower oils, avocados, broccoli, asparagus, pumpkin, sweet potato, mangos, papayas and almonds.

Acid reflux salvo

Have you ever considered why there are so many people today who are plagued with acid reflux? Healthy lifestyle experts maintain it’s because of the lack of natural enzymes in the modern-day diet. This is especially true for processed foods. The best way to raise the enzyme levels in the body is to consume fresh, raw, natural (especially organic) foods.

This is the reason for the popularity of raw foods. Over-eating by taking super-sized portions of food beyond the stomach’s limit can over-burden the digestive system. The rule is to control and/or limit your portions, and to eat more frequently instead of relying on your three-meal binges.

Alcohol bingeing is another reason. Taking antibiotics with the support of probiotics (natural bacteria like acidophilus, bifidus, etc.) can create an unhealthy intestinal flora. For maintenance, take two capsules of probiotic capsules daily. Natural sources are yogurt with live culture, kefir. Unmanaged stress can cause problems as well, causing an upheaval on your stomach.

The next time you have acid reflux, take a cup of warm water mixed with 1 tbsp of apple cider vinegar or old-fashioned natural provincial vinegar. It will restore the natural acid balance of your stomach. In fact, as a daily natural practice, take this apple cider before breakfast. Besides, it’s a great tip for weight loss. If you are brave, take it pure before meals. One tbsp of raw organic apple cider vinegar ensures perfect digestion and prevents heartburn or acid reflux.
