Is Stress Stealing Your Energy?

 

stress by flickr bottled_void

Hundreds of medical studies-including research reported by the Mayo Clinic – show that uncontrolled stress is the greatest cause of chronic fatigue – and a leading factor in numerous serious diseases.

How does unchecked stress cause fatigue? The answer lies in two small – but very important – glands, called your adrenals.

Every single time you experience any stress, your adrenal glands release the “energy hormone” known as adrenaline. The more stress you’re under, the more burnt out your adrenals get…leading to chronic fatigue and a host of serious health problems.

Does this sound like you?

  • You can’t seem to get going in the morning without coffee or a strong energy drink.
  • You sputter out mid-morning – yawning, tired, and unable to concentrate.
  • You spend the day guzzling colas … coffee … or more energy drinks.
  • And when you get home, you collapse on the couch exhausted
  • Yet, at night you toss and turn – and simply can’t fall into a deep sleep.

If this does sound like you, keep reading to learn the secret reason you’re so stressed, fatigued, exhausted and a remarkable new way to “recharge” your body.

Learn more about natural ways to recharge your adrenal glands for lasting energy.

Product Review: DHEA for Adrenal Support

What is DHEA?

DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) is a steroid hormone produced by the adrenal glands. It’s a precursor to both testosterone and estrogen in the body, although it may play other physiological roles, as well. It is sometimes called the, “mother hormone” — the source that fuels the body’s metabolic pathway.

Beginning at about age 30, levels of DHEA in both men and women begin to decrease, and by age 80, it’s estimated that approximately 95% of the hormone has been lost.

Some believe that this decline is responsible for the adverse consequences of aging and tout DHEA supplements as a sort of “fountain of youth.” DHEA, however, is not a general anti-aging solution. The trends associated with DHEA supplementation include the following health benefits:...

Turmeric: The Golden Goddess

Could Indian Food Help Fight Pain?

Within the cornucopia of medicinal plants, few possess such a wide spectrum of qualities and medicinal uses as turmeric. It has been used to treat a myriad of disease and ailments around the world for countless centuries.  The active ingredient in turmeric, curcumin, is known for its powerful anti-inflammatory effectiveness, but is also praised as an alternative analgesic, antibacterial, antibacterial, antiseptic, anti-tumor, anti-allergic with many other healing qualities now being recognized and understood by modern science.

The fragrant, yummy dishes featuring turmeric has more going for it than just flavor. Curcumin gives turmeric its orange-yellow color and acts as an anti-inflammatory that involves blocking cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), the target of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like Celebrex (celecoxib) and Motrin (ibuprofen). It has even been linked through research to help fight against cancer by neutralizing those substances and conditions which can cause cancer, helping a cell retain its integrity if threatened by a tumor, and if a tumor does grow the curcumins can often destroy it.

Turmeric has also been advocated for use in treating diabetes, as curcumin can increase insulin levels. As a powerful anti-inflammatory herb in supplement form, turmeric has been shown to be helpful in the treatment of arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, injuries, trauma, and stiffness from both under activity and over activity. Whether suffering from an acute or chronic disease, aches and pains, bumps and bruises, or as preventative maintenance, turmeric can and should be utilized by everyone on a regular basis.

Through an independent testing lab, turmeric supplements were tested for quality, indicated label amounts and purity. One product tested lacked the expected amount of turmeric and is therefore unsafe for consumption:...

Are Your Cells Starving For Oxygen?

Have you ever taken Tylenol or Advil to help with headaches and those everyday nagging pains?

Your doctor will probably never tell you this, but when you take common pain relievers you are creating a new problem…

You are cutting off oxygen to your cells.

Pain pills like Advil and Tylenol work by reducing the inflammation that causes your pain, but they do it by hi-jacking your body’s natural ability to heal.

Instead of letting your body isolate the injured area with scar tissue and allowing your body’s natural inflammation fighters to go to work, pain pills short-circuit the process and force your body to put down layer after layer of scar tissue.

It is all the extra scar tissue that blocks blood flow and chokes off the red blood cells that deliver oxygen. Take enough of these pills and you starve your cells for oxygen.

Sounds frightening, doesn’t it?

But, you can wipe out pain and inflammation naturallywithout drugs.

You can get that same “back to normal” feeling no matter what is causing your pain. You can relieve everyday pains as easily as more serious problems like chronic joint pain and arthritis pain.

Here is the kicker: This natural pain reliever is something your body already makes on its own.

Let me explain.

Years ago, a medical doctor from Columbia University discovered that when the body was reacting to pain, the bodies of younger adults responded by flooding the painful area with something called “proteolytic enzymes.”

That is why your body was so strong and resilient back in your 20s… and more to the point, PAIN FREE.

But, here is the problem. As you get older, your body’s supply of these inflammation-fighting enzymes drops dramatically.

That means the older you get, the harder it is to get rid of your pain.

Now, here is the good news. You can take more of these “proteolytic enzymes” whenever you want. They work just as well as pain pills… and in some cases, even better.

My friend and colleague, Jesse Cannone, is the founder of the Healthy Back Institute. He has helped over 165,000 people in 85 countries get lasting pain relief without drugs. When he showed me the research on these pain-fighting enzymes, I was impressed.

Proteolytic enzymes have a natural anti-inflammatory effect and silence minor everyday aches and pains, all the way up to the more stubborn pain you get from arthritis, bad joints and chronic back problems.

It is a safe option, too. You never face the risk of side-effects.

Enzymes are well researched and have a long-standing track record. Here are just a few of the published results:

  • A study published in the Journal of Medicine, Science, Sports and Exercise found that “Proteolytic enzymes have therapeutic effects in the treatment of inflammation and soft tissue injuries.”
  • Another study from the Institute of Cancer Research in Vienna found that, “A combination of proteolytic enzymes and herbs were effective in treating rheumatoid arthritis.”

When I talked to Jesse, he told me stories of his clients getting fast, effective relief from his enzyme formula called Heal-n-Soothe™.

Here are a few of their letters:

“As effective as prescription drugs, but MUCH SAFER…”

“As a pharmacist with a keen interest in natural supplements I can safely say I have seen it all. But for patients with pain who are looking for an answer outside of dangerous prescription medications, I have only a handful of recommendations. Heal-n-Soothe™ is on that short list.

It is not only as effective as prescription anti-inflammatories, but is much safer. Unlike other supplements on the market, Heal-n-Soothe™ really is free of any fillers or colorants. It truly is all-natural.

The point is this: if you’re sitting on the fence about other options to treat your pain you owe it to yourself to give Heal-n-Soothe™ a fair shot. You’ll be happy you did.”

 ~ Dr. Curtis Alexander, Registered Pharmacist, Montana

“WOW! Huge difference… I stopped taking painkillers!” 

“All I can say is a big WOW and thank you. I have only been taking it for 4 or 5 days, but have noticed a huge difference. I stopped taking my strong painkillers, which I was taking every day and at the full limit allowed. I feel ‘almost’ normal again.”

 ~ Angela Jaggs, England, UK 

“Heal-n-Soothe™ gave me a new PAIN FREE life!”

“Just a note to tell you how much your Heal-n-Soothe™ has helped me in just a week.  It is working very well. I have a crooked spine and sciatic nerve problems. Your product has given me a whole new life that is PAIN FREE. I can actually golf now. It has made a big difference in my life. Thank You… Thank you !!!!!”

~ Sandra Marginet, Michigan

As a regular reader, Jesse is offering you a FREE bottle of Heal-n-Soothe™ with no strings attached. All you have to do is Click Here and give him your address.

Here is the only catch: Jesse gave me a limited supply of Heal-n-Soothe™ so I urge you to take advantage of his generous offer RIGHT NOW.

I highly recommend you get your FREE bottle and feel the difference for yourself.

Greens and Whole Food Powder

When we are under stress, our bodies use up our nutrient stores faster, and therefore we may need even more than usual. An adequate supply of these important nutrients will allow you to endure stress more easily, increasing your resistance to mental and physical disease.

We all understand that one of the keys to sound nutrition is a highly varied diet. But during times of emergency and survival we will no doubt be restricted in the variety of foods that we have available to us. In fact, we might be eating a lot of the same foods over and over. These factors, along with the fact that our bodies need more vitamins and minerals when under stress, mean that it will be even more important to take supplements during times of emergency than during normal times. Receive the nutritional benefits of multiple servings of fruits and vegetables through greens and whole food powder supplementation.

For optimal health, keep a one-year supply of greens or whole food powder in your emergency food stash. It might even be a good idea to start to use the powder on a daily basis to obtain the USDA 5-9 servings of fruits and vegetables.  You won’t have a problem keeping the stock fresh if you start now. Just remember that when you empty a bottle/container and purchase a new one that it has to go to the back of the shelf and every other bottle has to be moved forward. Take the product off the shelf and be careful to grab the oldest one, which will be the one in the front. That way all of green and whole food powders remain as fresh as possible.

Powders have a shelf-life of around 2-years.  After the recommended two-year shelf-life has been exceeded, the powder is still viable, but will have lost some of their potency. The older they are the more potency they will lose. You do not have to discard your powder after the expiration date and can continue consuming the greens and whole food powder. They may not be as potent as when you purchased them but they will be better than nothing, especially in time of emergency and survival!

Home Cures That Work has reviewed green and whole food powder products to be considered (safe or not safe) supplements essential to any emergency food stash.

Two products that were tested exceeded limits for lead and/or cadmium.  They are:...

Product Review: Acai Berry

Acai berries are believed to be one of the elite superfoods with anti-aging and weight loss properties. Traditionally grown and harvested in Brazil, the “cabbage palm” – otherwise known as the acai berry – is eaten raw or the acai berry juiced for its antioxidant properties, whose insoluble fiber is greater than craberries, raspberries, blackberries, strawberries and blueberries.

Acai Berry Benefits

The pulp of the acai berries contains about 4% protein and 12% lipids, as well as minerals and vitamins found in other fruits: calcium, vitamin A, phosphorus, iron and thiamine.

Products with acai berries are used to enhance skin appearance, prevent cancer and enhance the immune-digestive system. Developers, and some experts, also suggest that the antioxidants found in the acai berry can also assist the body with expelling toxins, in a similar fashion as they assist the body with repelling and combating free radicals.   If you are thinking of using any acai berry laxative or “cleansing” product for weight loss, it is important to know that laxatives are not effective for sustained weight loss.  Laxatives lead to dehydration, kidney failure and possibly even death.

Because food and calories are absorbed by the small intestines, laxatives acting on the large intestines cause loss of water, minerals and electrolytes.

Acai Berry Dangers

While acai berries offer many nutritional benefits, there are also dangers associated with acai berry supplements. Acai berry detox products are marketed as being able to induce and support weight loss through a variety of methods, ranging from reducing water weight gain and removing unwanted toxins to increasing metabolic function and boosting energy levels.

If you choose to embark on the acai berry journey of weight loss or detox, it is important to keep in mind that many acai-containing products are offered for free or with a small shipping charge, but are often found to be fraudulent – and now with your credit card number.  Please exercise caution when purchasing acai berry products and be sure to read the fine print.

The greatest risk associated with acai-berry based supplements does not come from the acai berry’s juice ingredients, but rather other added ingredients. One of the most common ingredients added to acai supplements is caffeine, which can cause headaches, stomach aches and other side effects.

The following acai berry products were found to contain significant amounts of caffeine by an independent testing lab:...

Bipolar Product Recommendation: TrueHope EMPowerplus Capsules

What do you do after you’ve “tried everything?”

Should you consider omega-3 fatty acids, or other approaches for which there is some but only a little evidence that they “work”, and very little evidence to go on as far as risks one takes in trying it?

You have probably had lithium, depakote or topomax to name a few, or even all at the same time and with an antidepressant.  In fact, since your doctors are just now figuring out that antidepressants carry substantial risk of inducing manic symptoms, I’d bet that most of the previous mood stabilizers you’ve had have been used with an antidepressant.  Now, the most of the treatments you’ve ever had would need to be repeated without the antidepressant.

You might feel you are closer to the beginning of the process than the end!  The U.S. mental health experts consider mood stabilizer and combinations of medications are pretty standard.  But, it is time for you to be in the front of the pack. Time for TrueHope EMPowerplus.

EMPowerplus isn’t a miracle OR a quack cure. It’s based on nutritional research, documented at truehope.com. All of the nutrient levels are well within the dosages considered safe.

Truehope EMPowerplus is a micronutrient treatment consisting of 16 minerals, 14 vitamins, 3 amino acids, and 3 antioxidants and is designed to address essential nutrient deficiencies in both children and adults. Although nearly all of these ingredients are found in the foods we eat each day, they are not in sufficient quantities or correct proportions in our food to address disease causing deficiencies.

Three trials and two observational reports in private practice have demonstrated statistically significant reductions in the symptoms of bipolar and other disorders. Studies in animals also suggest that EMPowerplus can increase the healthy characteristics of neurons.

The unique formulation of EMPowerplus allows the body to rapidly absorb and utilize these essential nutrients for optimum physical and mental health.

Yes, I am still on empower plus 2 years later and med free. Taking Empower for me was a whole life style change. I found out I had gluten/dairy problems and had to eliminate that from my diet, which made a huge difference. My main recovery has been by the saving grace from God and Jesus Christ. So, I don’t give all power to the supplements, but to the One that has healed me on this very difficult road of mental health problems. Best wishes to you!

St. John’s Wort Product Review

Description

St. John’s Wort is a plant with yellow flowers, leaves and stems whose medicinal uses were first recorded in ancient Greece. It has long been a happy alternative for those reluctant to pop pills for depression and has also been used for anxiety and sleep disorders.

St. John’s Wort does not cause euphoria and, like regular antidepressants, is unlikely to elevate mood in people who aren’t truly depressed.

The vast majority of double blind placebo-controlled studies have found that St. John’s Wort extracts are as effective as standard antidepressant drugs (including antidepressants in the SSRI (Prozac) family) as a treatment for mild to moderate cases of major depression. Not surprisingly, those taking the herb supplement also showed significantly fewer negative side effects compared to those taking the prescription drug.

Benefits

One study involving menopausal women with depression found that a combination of St. John’s Wort and black cohosh extracts improved both menopause symptoms and mood. St. John’s Wort is also sometimes tried for other conditions in which standard antidepressants might be recommended, such as anxiety, attention deficit disorder, PMS, seasonal affective disorder (SAD), chronic pain, insomnia, neuropathic pain, obsessive compulsive disorder, social phobia, and quitting smoking.

Using St. John’s Wort extract might be justified, but products on the market vary considerably.

Virtually all studies of St. John’s Wort have used extracts rather than whole herb and most St. John’s Wort products are standardized to their content of a substance called hypericin, Hypericin act on chemical messengers in the nervous system that regulate mood. While hypericin may not be the most important constituent, products with standardized hypericin content have proven to be effective in human studies.

Four St. John’s Wort supplements failed testing by an independent lab due to contamination with cadmium. The following products exceeded these limits of 0.1 mcg of cadmium:...
