Find out what medical conditions you suffer from. A person who has or is prone to inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus or vasculitis will benefit from a CRP or c-reactive protein test. This procedure measures the amount of a protein in the blood and checks for flare-ups.This blood test is done by taking a blood sample from a vein on the back of your hand, or the inside of your elbow.  The sample will then be mixed with an antiserum liquid that has substances which look for the precise c-reactive protein. Avoid interpreting the results yourself though. It is best that your doctor read the results to you.

The first tip is one that a lot of people can easily do but seem to forget. This is to watch, listen, or at least if your cell phone is capable to see what your local forcast is going to be for the day. How many times have you seen someone out in the cold, wet, or snow with no type of jacket or weather protection clothing to keep them warm or dry? Even  aquick trip out to the car in the cold weather can be a jolt to your immune system. Later that day you could feel the sniffles coming on and you know what is in store for you next!

The second tip to stay healthy this Holiday season is to be well aware if someone around you is sneezing or coughing. Are they coughing into their hands or using a kleenex of some sort. If they sneeze into their hands and then go and grasp a door knob to open a door they are possible spreading their cold to anyone that touches the doorknob. Maybe they are at the water cooler and touch the dispensing knob for a glass of hot water for some tea they still are spreading possible germs to the entire office. If possible politely tell this person to wipe what they touch with a disinfectant wipe to avoid spreading germs.

One vital tip to stay healthy this Holiday season is to make sure you are getting the proper healthy vitamin and mineral supplements. It is very easy with all the extra hustle and bustle during this time of year to forget or unable to eat healthy and get a proper nutritional diet. Maybe you are getting invited to parties or getting together with friends you have not seen all year long. The weeks go by in a blur and before you know it you are looking at New Years. Without your vitamin and mineral supplements to keep your immune system in top working order you could be in for a bout with the flu or  a sinus cold that does not want to go away and can quickly turn into putting a huge damper on your Holiday plans.

These tips to stay healthy for this Holiday season may not seem to be anything Earth shattering but they are just a few simple ideas that when you are in a hurry to get things done can quickly be forgotten. If just one of these tips helps you stay healthy throughout this Holiday season then we have accomplish what we set out to do. That is to help people out so they can fully enjoy what this time of year is truly about.

Don’t Neglect your Need for Vitamin and mineral supplements

November 18, 2008, Author: Healthy_Life

maintaining your healthWith the fast pace of life, people neglect to eat properly. Since everybody is always on the run, it is more convenient to turn to fast food for sustenance. But unhealthy eating may have huge consequences later on.

That is why many experts recommend taking vitamin and mineral supplements to ensure good nutrition. Fast food may be filling, but it is not nourishing. Get complete nutrition from supplements to protect you against diseases.

Alligin and what Causes CoughsWhat causes coughs an upper respiratory tract infection can be thought of as damage by pollution, infected by bacteria, or a virus. If you understand how our upper respiratory system works you will have the knowledge to fight what causes coughs.

Our upper respiratory system is responsible for a couple of very important functions to keep us healthy. When air enters our bodies it must be warned, humidified, and purified in the lungs. Mucus membranes making up the upper respiratory tract, when under stimulation, secrete mucus, which then leads leads to a stuffy nose, sinusitis, earache or a chronic cough.

A persistant cough  is very annoying to all of us, and yet in many cases the true cause is never really discovered. Knowing that this annoying cough can be a deepseated bacterial cause or, in situations where caused by a cold, a viral infection.

Alligin is good for chest complaints, especially in the case of a troublesome and persistent coughs, because it has a major antitussive activity. Most over the-counter medicines do not have this power, allicin powder capsules can destroy both bacterial and viral organisms with ease. This can be accomplished in several easy to follow ways.

Empty the contents of one Alligin capsule into a cupful of warm milk and mix thoughly. Gargle for a few minutes. Do this every night after having a healthy dinner for a few days. Then before going to bed, take 6 Alligin powder capsules (up to 1200 mg daily) and continue with this routine until the cough begins to break up. Then start to reduce the dose of Alligin down to 4 and then to 2 capsules after a further week.

Now you have the knowledge of what causes a cough and power to be able to beat it when other over the counter medications are not even treating the proper cause. No wonder so many people are staying sick from a cough longer these days. With Alligin you can both take a maintaince dose of one or two capsules daily. And if you do come down with a cough you now have the remedy to fight back.

ebookcover2.jpgAre you wondering why we seem to be losing the battle against stronger and stronger bacterial diseases that today’s medicines cannot conquer? The answer may be in the way that bacteria in your body especially in your mouth and guts are communicating on a constant basis and actually forming what researchers have dubbed “slime cities,” where bacterial live and reproduce, safe from your immune system, antibiotics, and other predators.

Technically called “biofilms” they are currently the study of intense research and could be at the root of most of our worst health conditions including MRSA. Usually we think of bacteria as single celled creatures. But when they form a “biofilm’ they act as a multi-celled organism. These cities have various strains of bacteria that channel everthing that is needed to live and are 1000 times less likely to succomb to antibiotics than free floating cells.

An example of how effective these “biofilms” are is that they can pool their effects and make hydrogen peroxide inactive. Or they can communicate when being attacked in such as way that some cells become dormant, living to fight another day!

A third way bacteria have developed is that they wait untill there is enough of them before they turn on the toxicity to over whelm the host’s defenses. Bacteria seem to have a common language that they are using to try to stay one step ahead of man made chemicals.

So what are we to do? Man made chemicals are soon coming to and end. Bacteria seem to have and answer to everything man can come up with. The best answer is one that has been around for thousands of years. One that is proven to kill all of these bacteria in low concentrations.

Allicin found in Alligin can break up these “biofilms” destroy bacterial species, get rid of fungal infections, boost your immune system, and kill off parasites. All from something that can be found in garlic. Combined with ginger this stabilized allicin is proving to be Mother Nature’s Healer. Everyone knows about how garlic has been a part medicine for thousands of years. Now that science is near the end of possible chemical concoctions we are again turning toward natural medicines that will stop any bacteria in its tracks.

Alligin can be purchased online. And there is also a brand new free e-book about garlic that you can download and read at your pleasure. Just click on the Alligin link above to learn how this amazing product can be the answer to many of your health problems like MRSA. Some of  these answers you certainly will be surprised to find out!

koo108.gifEver wonder about how companies get around the regulations for using the word “orgainc?” The word “organic” is not properly regulated on personal care products (example: toothpaste, shampoo, lotion, etc.) as it is on food products, unless the product is certified by the USDA National Organic Program like for instance an organic stain remover.

Due to this lax regulation, many personal care products have the word “organic” in their brand name or otherwise on their product label, but unless they are USDA certified, the main cleansing ingredients in particular are usually made with conventional not agricultural material, combined with petrochemical compounds.

Sadly, the commonly used carcinogencic petrochemical Ethylene Oxide actually generates the carcinogenic contaminant 1,4-Dioxane in many of these products. A new study commissioned by the Organic Consumers Association found the carcinogen 1,4-Dioxane in a large number of leading personal care products misbranded as organic.

Many of these companies misbrand “Organics” on their labels but consumers should look for products certified under the USDA because there are other weak so-called “organic” standards that a product can become “certified” under, which do not allow ethoxylation and 1,4-Dioxane, but allow hydrogenation and sulfation of conventional, not organic material, to make cleansing ingredients preserved with synthetic preservatives.

Although it is an uphill battle things are getting better. Companies that are only looking to get in on the “organic” band wagon by misleading consumers will always try to find a way to get around the regulations. Make sure you are aware of what is going on in the industry. Read all you can so you will not be mislead and get the true orgainc products that you are spending hard earned money on.

alligin-containing-allicin-ebook.jpgAlligin containing allicin is quickly becoming one of the only mrsa cures that is known today. Mrsa bacteria was first discovered over 50 years ago and today’s decendant of that strain of bacteria has mutated as new forms of mrsa fighting drugs have become available. The bacteria that survive quickly copy themselves in ever increasing numbers for survival. One way we can help is to only use these drugs when we desparately need them. But sooner or later they will mutate and the cycle will start all over again.

Alligin containing allicin is an all natural product. When we ingest synthetic man made drugs our bodies recognize these and do not let them pass easily into our systems. Plus as in the case of many of these drugs you may suffer from one to many side effects casusing even more serious medical problems. Our bodies let the allicin pass freely as a natural product and let the allicin work immediately.

Alligin has had no side effects according to studies and within three or so hours passes through your system.

vitamin-and-mineral-supplements.jpgThe human body digests foods more easily that are naturally found in nature. Most synthetically produced vitamin and mineral supplements are chemical combinations that cannot be found in nature, so the human body does not recognize these ingredients which may result in unwanted reactions. Your body certainly knows the difference between real and fake, and it always prefers real.

Consumers need a better way to choose products that are healthier and easier for the body to absorb and metabolize. Not all synthetic vitamin and mineral supplements are totally useless. Like other pharmaceutical drugs, some of these synthetics have their place in emergency health situations. But many of these man made synthetics are also unhealthy with naturally occurring vitamins and minerals found in USDA certified organic foods and 100% plant or food-based supplements are  so much better. Labeling these man made synthetic supplements as “natural” or “all natural” is consumer fraud plain and simple. Consumers have every right to know if the vitamin or mineral supplement they are buying is synthetic or are truly made of naturally occurring ingredients.

Many companies are not being clear on their labels and other literature that they use a medium of fermented or mixture of foods that have been diluted with man made synthetic vitamins. Many products contain synthetic vitamins which are put into supplements that we purchase even though the label may say “all natural.” An easy way to tell is to check out the RDA. If the potency is higher than anything you would find in nature  like for example 1000% Daily Recommended Allowance of Vitamin C per serving, the product contains synthetically produced ingredients, no matter what the producer of that product might claim.

 So take this information and learn to tell the difference between real and fake vitamin and mineral supplements. Tell all your friends too that it is vital that all of us start to realize that some companies only produce products that will turn a profit at any cost to the consumer. Yes, there is nothing wrong with making a profit as that is why companies are in business. If we learn how to distinguish between the companies that care about our bodies we can maybe eliminate the ones that do not.
