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. The allicin acually goes out looking for a fight trying to find anything that could harm your health. The amount of Alligin you take is different for each individual and also differrent for what you are trying to cure. There is a great free health E-book about Alligin that everone should read to find out how this amazing product can cure many things. Discover how you should be taking Alligin containing allicin on a daily basis as a maintainance level to stay healthy. Click on the Alligin link above.

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.

Alligin and the Fight Against MRSA

September 9, 2008, Author: Green4Me

alligin.jpgAlligin a product that helps support and strengthen your immune system contains Allicin(from garlic) and ginger. These two natural products have been known for over 5,000 years as medicine and health promoters.

Perhaps Allicin’s most vital power in more modern times of antibiotic-resistant germs and ever-new microbial diseases (SARS, MRSA, West Nile encephalitis virus, AIDS…) is its amazing wide range of antimicrobial activity. A study done in 1999 supports that fact that a most bacteria is sensitive to Allicin.

Stabilized Allicin is made in the same way that Allicin from fresh garlic is formed when we bite into it. But this Allicin only lasts for a few seconds. For the first time garlic’s active component (Allicin) can be captured and delivered directly where your body needs it. This patented process ensures us that large scale quantities of stable Allicin can be produced.

Nearly five percent of patients in U.S. hospitals may have acquired a particular antibiotic resistant staph infection, according to a nationwide survey conducted by the Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology (APIC).

Researchers surveyed a total of 1,200 hospitals and other health care facilities from all 50 states, and found 8,000 patients infected or colonized with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) — or 46 out of every 1,000! This leads us to believe that up to 1.2 million hospital patients from coast to coast could be infected each and every year.

Colonized patients found to be carrying the bacteria on or in their bodies, but who had not showed any indications of contacting disease.

“This rate is between eight and 11 times greater than previous MRSA estimates,” APIC wrote.

The majority of the infections had originated within the medical facility itself with a huge 67 percent coming from patients being treated for general medical conditions (such as diabetes or pulmonary or cardiovascular problems) and not the intensive care patients.

APIC recommended easy and common sense measures, like washing your hands, to prevent the spread of MRSA within medical institutions. A number of studies have shown that a good number of health care workers do not always wash their hands on a consistent basis.

“Hand hygiene is the most important means of preventing the spread of infection,” said APIC President Denise Murphy.

MRSA is resistant to all forms of penicillin, which has earned it the phrase of “superbug.” Because of its resistance to drugs, the fatality rate is twice that as other staph infections.

In 1974, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimated that 2 percent of the staph infections occurring in medical facilities were cases of MRSA; in 2004, the estimate had risen almost to 63 percent.

While conventional medicine seems to be stumped by this antibiotic resistant infection, the world of natural medicine has known how to beat such infections for many thousands of years. With the Alligin product we can fight these stubborn deseases and get back to the natural healthy ways of the past. 

The Environment and Me

biodegradable cleaners 

So I found out that there are many ways that we can help shape the environment that is around us.  Instead of being pessimistic or oblivious to it, we can take simple steps toward environmental health in our very homes. 

By using biodegradable cleaners we are stopping the spread of chemically enriched products that we put down the sink.  This is just one step that we can take among many that will help this planet heal itself and protect it for future generations.

Skin Complex

skin toner 

I have never had perfect skin.  Actually that’s just too absurd to say.  I have never had even good skin.  My skin is just too differentiated for me to keep up with.  The area on my nose and the line across my forehead that is generally referred to as the T-zone is completely oily.  Then the rest of my face is super dry with a few oil slick spots. 

So I didn’t know what to do, but my dermatologist recommends skin toner to even out the different skin types that I have.  I’m going to try it out for a week and see what happens.  I definitely want to find some all natural products.

antioxidant-lotion.jpgAs we mature and start finding those “experience lines” or wrinkles as most people call them, there may be a way to slow down the process by using a healthy organic antioxidant lotion. A quick lesson in how our skin ages tells us that the outer layer of skin thins even if the number of cells reamain the same. The pigment containing cells decrease but the size of the remaining cells stay the same.

That is why aging skin appears thinner with age spots or liver spots showing up in sun exposed areas. The connective tissue of the skin changes reducing the skin’s elasticity that especially occurs also in the sun exposed areas. By being out in the sun over a period of years the skin’s collegen breaks down faster than by the normal aging process. The skin could usually keep up with the collegen breaking down, but with the sun constantly on your skin there is little chance of keeping up so the collegen fibers get disorganized. Over a period of time they start to forms scars under the skin in which later results are wrinkles.

An anitoxidant lotion will help fight the free radicals whose oxygen molecule have only one electron instead of two. Electrons are found in pairs so the free radical must scavange one electron from another source. One the first molecule loses its electron it must then search for a second molecule to steal an electron from. Once the process starts it just keeps repeating itself over and over. Free radical cause wrinkles by breaking down the collegen. Exposure to UV rays, sunlight, and air pollutants help to start the process.

An antioxidant lotion will help to neutralize the free radicals. Things like green tea also have antioxidants but green tea is an internal antioxidant. You need to supplement this by buying an antioxidant lotion for topical use. By applying the organic antioxidant lotion under your sunscreen you will have an extra layer of protection from the suns harmful rays. And also help fight the free radicals that the sun generates during the day.
