Heal Yourself With Natural Remedies That Outshine Prescription Drugs

Do you believe that people have the ability to heal themselves? It's true for me. For the past 25 years I have had no medical diagnosis, prescription drugs or medical therapy. I went against the grain and became a natural health doctor. I'm different than a medical doctor; I cannot prescribe prescription drugs or perform life saving techniques. However, I did find other avenues of therapy that maintained my health to avert the crisis that demands an MD. For all of those years I did not let any doctor or machine probe my body for disease. I found a stranger in modern society called nature. When I have symptoms there is help in nature. My help comes from:

o Homeopathy

o Naturopathy

o Light, Sound, Subtle Energies

o Food Choices

o Pure Water

o Mental Awareness

o Observation of Self

When I made the decision to cancel my medical insurance policy my friends and family thought I was crazy. What if some disease like cancer, heart disease, a bad flu, mobility problems, or worse yet I was in an accident? What would I do then? How could I pay? At first my idea was to simply stay healthy until I was covered by Medicare insurance at 65. Then the government would pay.

I spent my saved insurance premiums to pay for alternative health care education, and now with that under my belt I would select death over letting someone save my life with drugs or surgery. It is now my conviction that modern medical medicine does not cure and in fact harms.

I am considered a quack in the eyes of medical people trained to apply chemical and surgical solutions for health issues. My attitude is contrary to the mindset that rules modern society who expect other people to pay for their health care, but that is another story. In my opinion the saving of life does not make sense if the quality of life is lost. I love old people because I am one. Please don't save my life. Let nature make the decision.

Oily skin care

Oily skin is the result of over active sebaceous glands. A substance called sebum is secreted by these glands, normally it is a healthy natural lubricant for the skin but when it is secreted in excess it leads to oily skin. It makes the skin becomes shiny, thick and dull. Oily skin has coarse pores, pimples and other face blemishes. Note that oily skin is not necessarily bad as this skin is less prone to wrinkling and other aging signs and the oil helps to keep needed moisture locked in the outermost layer of the skin. Oily skin can also be caused by other things such as pregnancy, birth control pills, high or imbalanced hormone levels and changes, diets, make-up we use, and terribly hot weather and so on. Oily skin is common in teenagers because of hormonal shifts of adolescence but it can also occur at any age however oily skin has a great advantage of aging slowly than other skin types. Oily skin can be cared for in so many ways: get a good face cleanser or soap not harsh or heavy ones, use lightly medicated soaps, and don't use cleansers that contain alcohol or artificial additives, also try antibacterial cleaning lotions and always apply a natural oil free moisturizer to keep skin soft. The oily skin also needs special cleansing day and night with plenty of warm water and mild soap to prevent clogged pores, harsh products strips the skin from oils and promotes dryness and this can cause skin to start shrinking or wrinkling. Always make sure you moisturize skin after cleansing with oil free moisturizers to maintain a supple and shine free complexion.

Healthy Eating and Living for Kids and Teenagers

Kids and teenagers have very different lifestyle and dietary needs compared to adults. If you're an adult and have kids of your own, I am sure you would have experienced your kid's seemingly endless amounts of energy and unhealthy desire for fast foods and sweets. If you yourself are a kid or a teenager, I am sure you are tired of your parent's nagging and complaints of "stop eating McDonalds!", "eat your veggies!", "have some fruit", "chips again?!" and various other eating objections.

The truth is; if kids or teenagers don't eat well, they will not develop properly, they will be more likely to be overweight, they will be more susceptible to various illnesses, cardiovascular diseases and acne, and they are more likely to have erratic moods, experience depression and basically, experience a lower level of enjoyment of life.

Now, the million dollar question is; "If I am a parent, how am I going to get my kids to eat healthily, or, if I'm a teenager or a kid, how do I start eating healthily?".

For parents: The first important advice I can give you is: Kids imitate people they feel are good role models. Hence, trying to get your kids to eat healthily has to start from yourself. Once you are having a healthy diet and enjoying a healthy lifestyle, your kids will naturally start to develop healthy eating and living habits themselves. I have further listed below other advice and tips that I recommend to help promote healthy eating and living to your kids:

Eat together: When the entire family is sitting at the table eating breakfast or dinner, your children will observe what you have cooked or eating. Furthermore, meal times are the best way of maintaining and developing closer relationships with your kids as families naturally tend to have conversations over meals. Besides the health benefits of a nutritious balanced meal, studies have shown that kids who have stable family relationships have higher self-esteem and tend to do better in school.
