Disaster Preparedness For Diabetics. Millions of people worldwide have either type 1 or type 2 diabetes, which in most cases is controlled with diet and medications. Many diabetics, especially those who are into prepping and emergency preparedness, are rightly concerned about how they would cope without access to insulin and other medications. Below is a post written by Dr. Bones (aka Joe Alton, M.D from Doom And Bloom) all about disaster preparedness for diabetics. Actually it is more than just a post, it is part of a series of posts about diabetes in survival situations. There is even a very interesting post about how to make insulin, which could be very relevant, post SHTF. Disaster Preparedness For Diabetics (Photo from: Jill A.

By Tamara St. John, M.B.A. Cancer is a scary word for most people; however it doesn’t have to be when you know how to listen to your body to heal your Cancer naturally. I myself had cancer and healed it naturally without surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation. Luckily for me, I had discovered that alternative remedies are safer and more cost effective than the cut, poison, burn method of traditional western medicine. Here are the basics of what I did to heal my cancer naturally. The Budwig Protocol was created by Dr. Laetrile; also known as amygdalin or vitamin B17, is found in apricot kernels, peach pits, apple seeds, wheatgrass, flaxseeds, but not to the extent that it is found in apricot kernels.

New Alzheimer’s Drugs Continue to Fail Where Coconut Oil Shines.
Report here. Coconut oil’s ketogenic properties have been known for quite some time, as has the fact that it is a highly saturated fat not prone to lipid peroxidation which is a problem with polyunsaturated oils. Polyunsaturated oils have largely replaced saturated fats in the American diet, and lipid peroxidation is known to be a precursor to Alzheimer’s. The ketones found in coconut oil provide a fuel to the brain that is thought to be very beneficial to those suffering from dementia and Alzheimer’s. These facts about coconut oil are not new, but their emphasis in helping people with these problems received national exposure in 2008 with the publishing of Dr. Mary Newport’s story. More recent research conducted in 2011 has looked at the role of diet in developing Alzheimer’s, and the role of cholesterol uptake to the brain.

Use these five natural supplements to detox your body of toxic GMO foods. (NaturalNews) If you eat out at restaurants, purchase non-organic or processed foods from the grocery store, or even take vitamin supplements that have not been consciously crafted with quality ingredients, chances are you are routinely ingesting genetically modified organisms (GMOs) without even knowing it.
And unless you take the time to regularly detoxify these unnatural poisons, they may be building up inside your body and triggering alterations in your natural gene expression, which could eventually lead to chronic illness and even death. This is why it is vitally important to regularly cleanse and detoxify your body of transgenic materials that may be damaging the natural flora balance in your gut, as well as poisoning your blood, causing gastrointestinal upset, and triggering neurological damage, among other conditions. Here are five natural supplements you can use to help detoxify your body of harmful GMOs, and ultimately restore a healthy balance to your mind and body. Rethinking Oral Health Care: A Homemade Toothpaste Recipe for Tooth Remineralization.
Several years ago, I started to question some of the ingredients in commercial toothpastes as well as the approach of modern dentistry in general. I view some modern dentistry practices as appropriate and beneficial. Consider, though, that the foundation of today’s dental philosophy is similar to the mainstream medical model in that it focuses on treatment and not prevention. I believe the focus of dentistry (like medicine) should be prevention of decay and disease through sound nutrition and a healthy lifestyle. This begins in utero (even pre-conception), when the teeth and jaw structure are formed, is well established through breastfeeding, and must be adhered to for one’s lifetime.
Avoiding dental decay and disease through diet is challenging, because it means one must stray far from the standard American diet. Spark Health has a DIY Dental eCourse available. Remineralization When most dentists detect a cavity, they suggest filling it, usually without thinking twice. A Safer Alternative. 10 Easy Steps to Turn Any Recipe into a Real Food Recipe. I had an epiphany the other day. Ever since I started eating real food, I’ve stayed far away from where my meal inspiration used to come from (if not picked up straight from the freezer aisle) — recipes from magazines, websites, and TV shows with eye-rollingly-typical “healthy” fare.
Ingredients like, “Bouillon cubes,” and “Heart-healthy canola oil,” and “Fat-free sour cream” Barf. Barf. Barf. So just the other day, when I really needed to figure out what to do with a pack of grass-fed short ribs I had bought, I decided I’d go ahead and check out one of my old standard recipe sites, at least to get some ideas. But what I discovered, was that even though most of the recipes called for some barfy ingredients, I knew just what I needed to replace them with!
And the more I thought about it, the more I realized how easy this really is. So, I’ve figured out a little system. Do your favorite recipes call for any of the following? Switch them out, or fix them up, with these ten easy solutions! 1. Hydrogen Peroxide Magic!
Is Apple Cider Vinegar That Powerful of a Health Tonic? Science Says Yes. Apple cider vinegar (ACV) became well known in the U.S. in the late 1950s, when it was promoted in the best-selling book Folk Medicine: A Vermont Doctor’s Guide to Good Health by D. C. Jarvis. During the alternative medicine boom of recent years, apple cider vinegar and apple cider vinegar pills have become a popular dietary supplement. Unpasteurized or organic ACV contains mother of vinegar, which has a cobweb-like appearance and can make the vinegar look slightly congealed. It’s the only way apple cider vinegar should be consumed. ACV is used in salad dressings, marinades, vinaigrettes, food preservatives, and chutneys, among other things. It is made by crushing apples and squeezing out the liquid. Apple cider vinegar is purported to treat numerous diseases, health conditions, and annoyances.

How Three Little Bottles Make all the Difference in the World.... Three Bottles. One large, one medium, and one small, and they are the heavy hitters in our medicine cabinet. No kidding. My children ask for them. My husband expects them. I make tons of items for our household from them. And people who dont know us, or what we do, or how we live our lives, will most likely think we are crazy. You see, we are a culture that is always looking for the next quick fix. And a lot of it has to do with how often we are fed this mantra that we are incapable, uneducated, or simple unable to help or heal ourselves.
The pharmaceutical industry thrives on that lie. To to the tune of billions of dollars per year. Now, quick disclaimer, I want you to understand I absolutely believe that modern medicine has a place. But we have become so disconnected from anything to help ourselves in our society, coming to distrust so many of the things that our mothers and grandmothers, and even beyond that, considered common and everyday things, that it really is incredibly sad.

Some dingy fluorescent lights, and a pair of stilts and you’ve pretty much got my best copycat impression of the Cici’s Pizza greeter that welcomed us to pizza binge delirium. As we walked down the condiment aisle of the local grocery store, I bellowed, “Welcome to Cici’s!
Thank you for coming!” I did it again as we passed the Heinz ketchup, strolled by the meats gassed with carbon dioxide, and one more time as we arrived to our final destination: the cookie dough aisle. It was Friday night, and all we “needed” before heading home from our pizza fest was a sausage-shaped tube of enriched wheat flour, sugar, and partially hydrogenated soybean oil . . . aka Pillsbury’s chocolate chip cookies.

All too often we rely on the state to tell us what to eat and which companies are ethical. And all too often the companies that the state deems ethical and safe are proven to be quite the opposite. The giant agricultural companies that produce GMOs and use millions of tons of chemicals are able to do so because of monetary support.
As long as we continue to purchase their products they will continue to pollute the environment and our bodies. You and I have the power to stop this madness. We can choose to support those companies that do not use GMOs. The best way is to buy from a local organic farmer, or to grow your own; however there are plenty of ethical companies out there that you can support who practice sustainable methods and source from farmers that do not use GMO.
These companies believe that their customers deserve to make an informed choice. Share: Comments comments. Curing Warts, Removing Splinters, and 19 Other Bizarre Uses for Banana Peels.

(NaturalNews) Scientists at the German Cancer Research Center have developed a technique that induces the body's own immune cells to attack and destroy cancerous tumors.
The therapy is part of a new approach in cancer treatment that seeks to mobilize the body's own immune system to remove the disease, preferably with fewer risks and side effects than more conventional and invasive treatments like surgery, radiation or chemotherapy. Immune therapies are already in use against prostate cancer and melanoma. In this case, the immune therapy focuses on cells called natural killer (NK) cells, which are specialized for finding and destroying defective bodily cells, including cancer cells.
They are effective against a wide variety of cancer types, including cells that are often ignored by other parts of the immune system. "The big problem in using NK cells for therapy is their rapid loss of activity, hence their aggressiveness," researcher Adelheid Cerwenka said. Sources: Cinnamon and honey's healing properties.
