Comment on Space Cleansing: Ridding Your Home of Negative Energy by tishi

tishi — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 18:40:55 +0000

I have been living in my home for almost 9 months and I feel everything that the previous people have said… My ex fiancee used to live in this home for about 5 years and I know that he was definitely messing around with negative sources. Lets just say he left a lot of negative energy here. I have dealt with depression on and off my entire life but it seems the day i moved in here i havent been the same… I hate it here so badly. Ive tried to decorate, buy lamps, burn oils, candles, had my sister come over and sage the place and chant… ive prayed and no matter what the feeling wont go away. Everyone that lives here says the same thing… And when you go to sleep its so hard to wake up the next day. Like everyone that stays here even guests can sleep for 12 hours or longer. I am taking antidepressants and I am trying to feel better but no matter what i cant get rid of this feeling that this place is negative and harming me in a mental way. I also and my family and previous family and guests have heard strange noises constantly, things being moved around, lights and water turning on and off and just pure dread…. and doom… at times… what do i do? move? please help if anyone has any suggestions… i cant take it any longer… thanx

Comment on The Benefits of Activated Charcoal by Jonathan

Jonathan — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 11:36:49 +0000

Just wondering, if the activated charcoal adsorbs Iodine (the mineral), would one need to supplement it? and if so, what is the most natural way to do it? (I am male btw).In any case I only plan to use it for a 1-week detox or so…

Comment on Apple Cinnamon Spiced Cider by athshrine

The Apple Cinnamon Spiced Cider recipe that you have posted was very helpful for me, specially that I hosted a tea party for my whole family on Thanksgiving Day, and they like the taste of the Apple Cinnamon Spiced Cider. The nutritional facts was also very helpful in determining the right persons to drink Apple Cinnamon Cider.

Comment on Getting Rid Of Night Terrors by Dee Braun, DrR, CA, CCT

Dee Braun, DrR, CA, CCT — Sun, 08 Jan 2012 19:24:42 +0000

Hi Chelsea,

Although I’m not convinced that lavender will directly address night terrors, lavender can definitely help stress levels and quality of sleep and therefore it is something I would try. It may very well benefit the night terrors and should definitely be of benefit for stress and sleep in general.

Comment on Help For Anemia by John Mickel

John Mickel — Sun, 01 Jan 2012 20:02:53 +0000

I have found a recipe for beans, bacon, tomatoes and a few spices that really helped me. It is from the Paula Deen website and requires only stuff that most people already have around the house. The tomato helps to release the iron content in the beans. Try it if you are feeling run down, dizzy and have pains in your chest when you try to move around too much. Chemotherapy made me anemic and this works even better than a blood transfusion plus it costs almost nothing to prepare! http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/paula-deen/baked-beans-recipe/index.html

Comment on The Benefits of Activated Charcoal by Dee Braun, DrR, CA, CCT

Dee Braun, DrR, CA, CCT — Thu, 08 Dec 2011 16:15:27 +0000

Hi there

I am not sure I’d recommend charcoal for use on the breasts for sore nipples, honestly. If there’s broken skin, there can be a tattooing effect and I honestly am not sure how effective this would be.

One thing I would recommend is a castor oil poultice (as warm as she can stand it). You can learn more about castor oil and its healing properties (and how to make a castor oil pack) HERE

If she tries this, have her wash off the castor oil well before nursing her baby.

And, here are a few other ideas:

Putting wet tea bags on breasts may help reduce the soreness a woman experiences after breastfeeding. We recommend putting tea bags in warm, but not hot water, and then directly onto the breasts, where the tea and the warmth from the water will work to soothe the breasts.

If a woman uses a breast pump to express some breast milk out prior to feeding her baby, milk will flow easier and it will make it easier for the baby to latch on to the breast. This, in turn, can help to reduce soreness of the breasts

Here is another great site which has a lot of info on breast soreness from breastfeeding:

I hope this helps!

Many blessings,
Dee

I love the idea of substituting ground turkey for ground hamburger. I love a good meatloaf and substitute ground turkey for hamburger. It is much less greasy and I believe the flavor is better too. Give it a try!Michelle

Comment on Using Homeopathic Remedies For Injuries by Wanda Bedinghaus, MD

Wanda Bedinghaus, MD — Mon, 05 Dec 2011 23:44:51 +0000

Great way to use Arnica. I also keep Arnica 1m in a little vial on my car key chain. I have helped a woman who just feel and had a nasty knee injury. Having Arnica with you at all times will help you in the acute situation. My mantra, “Arnica first” in any injury. Then you can be specific with other remedies depending on the nature of the injury.

Comment on The Pain, The Pain! Diagnosing And Fighting Migraines by Wanda Bedinghaus, MD

Wanda Bedinghaus, MD — Mon, 05 Dec 2011 23:40:16 +0000

Migraine headaches can be crippling. You mentioned If you are unsure which ones to use then it would be wise to consult a local naturopath or homeopath for advice. Homeopathy is a safe, natural way to deal with almost any condition. Also, neurofeedback training has been shown to be very helpful because many migraines show a “seizure” pattern in the brain wave (EEG). Stress can bring on many symptoms of chronic disease states and needs to be managed. emWave from Heart Math can assist in learning how to manage stress.Thank you for your dedication to helping people heal in a safe and natural way.Wanda Bedinghaus, MD

I used to get migraines from sunlight. If I went without sunglasses, I was in for it. Several years ago, I started taking one 250 mg. tablet of magnesium each day. I have not had any kind of headache since starting with magnesium. It might not work for everyone, but is certainly worth a try.

We use sesame oil for different purposes. It’s good for our hair as it helps us to prevent damages and keeps it shiny and smooth. I always consider products with sesame oil.

Comment on Cider Vinegar Benefits – Amazing Uses for White and Apple Cider Vinegar by Dee Braun, DrR, CA, CCT

Dee Braun, DrR, CA, CCT — Wed, 09 Nov 2011 02:16:43 +0000

Hi Elle,

Mix it in water or tea with a bit of honey (raw honey is best) or maple syrup. Another way that I drink it is by putting about 1 tbsp of apple cider vinegar in a bottle of water and also adding one of those single-serve powdered drink mixes like Special K protein drink mix, etc.

I absolutely agree. The ingredients that make up the bulk of processed food have inflammatory effects on the body and cause all kinds of problems.

Comment on The Benefits of Activated Charcoal by Melissa Cohen

Melissa Cohen — Fri, 26 Aug 2011 13:57:00 +0000

I just felt the need to comunicate a experience I believe I am having using activate Charcoal for my 7 year old son- The current thinking with his ADHD kie symptoms is that they may be food allergy/ sensitivity realted- ( We do not medicate him) I had read about using activated charcoal for gut related issues so I bout a bottle and took it with us on vacation- Where it is very difficult to keep all known sensitivites away from him- Well our vacation was great we had a very reasonable child- ( Usually we would have a meltdown or 2 or 3…..) I know he got into some foods that we usually do not allow- I have since started including Activated Charcoal in his supplement routine that we use- ( approx 2 hours after given some vitamins/minerals) And we continue to notice a much calmer child! It has been 3 weeks!
Maybe this will help another parent who is looking for something to try instaead of medication

Comment on Tips For Preventing Muscle Strains by The Natural Health Doc

The Natural Health Doc — Thu, 25 Aug 2011 20:52:34 +0000

Also remember to warm up BEFORE you do any stretching to prevent strains. Usually about 10 minutes is good. Just start with a bit of a jog or some light aerobics to get the muscles moving, get the breath and heart rates elevated, and get some blood in to the muscles. Once everything is a bit warmed up, it is then ok to do some moderate stretching. Save your deeper stretches until the end of workout or game.
