Natural Thyroid Treatment | Thyroid Care Women who are diagnosed with an underactive thyroid, or hypothyroidism, are often prescribed prescription drugs to replace the hormones that are deficient in their bodies. The use of some hormone replacement therapies, such as Premarin (extracted from pregnant mare urine) and synthetics replacement drugs such as Synthroid is controversial and there is debate on their relative safety and dangers. Drugs can have severe side effects as well. Drug therapy is also a permanent remedy; hormone replacement pills are to be used for the rest of your life and often increase in dosage over time. Side effects are often associated with an inappropriate dosage, and it often takes time to determine the appropriate amount of hormonal replacement pills to use on a regular basis. Alternative treatments, such as the use of natural herbal supplements, may be a much healthier choice for seeking hormonal balance. Click here to read our product review on Thyromine.

Clean your Body's Drains: How to Detoxify your Lymphatic System Guest post by Linda-Anne Kahn Did you know that we are exposed to 82,000 different toxins, chemically-based products and processed foods in our environment weekly? Detoxification is the body’s natural, ongoing process of eliminating harmful toxins from the body so that it can function at its best. Toxins are man-made chemicals found in the air, water, food, household cleaners and cosmetic products as well as waste products produced by normal cellular activity. When toxins enter the body through the skin, nasal passage or mouth, the body prevents “pollution” by surrounding the toxins with fat and water and stores them in different areas of the body. Our bodies were not meant to work this hard to maintain optimal functioning. The Lymphatic System: Forgotten Hero The lymphatic system is the most forgotten and least understood system in the body.

GcMAF: Another Suppressed Cancer Treatment? Reports have been circulating around the natural health community of a compound known as Gc-protein derived macrophage activating factor, or GcMAF, and its remarkable effects on cancer. One of these is a video clip (above) of an in vitro attack of macrophages, a type of immune cell, which have been treated with GcMAF against human breast cancer cells. This can be best described by the common internet meme caption of “nom nom nom,” as the clusters of cancer cells are mercilessly devoured. In human patients, however, GcMAF is not administered alone. Although these patients all suffered from advanced cancers, within a few weeks, their tumor volume had decreased by an average of 25%. One patient discussed in research is a 56-year-old man suffering from a recurrence of metastatic squamous cell carcinoma that was “successfully” treated with chemo and radiation.

This Simple Leaf Prevents Stroke, Hypertension, Diabetes, Alzheimer’s, and More – REALfarmacy.com by PAUL FASSA [box]“Based on my research, I am convinced that olive leaf extract is destined to become the most useful, wide spectrum herbal ingredient of the 21st century.” – Morton Walker, medical journalist, 92 published books including: Nature’s Antibiotic: Olive Leaf Extract.[/box] Olive leaf is derived from the olive tree (Olea europaea), which is native to the Mediterranean. Olives and olive leaf are the first botanicals prominently noted in the Bible, in Ezekiel 47:12, “The fruit thereof shall be for meat, and the leaf thereof for medicine” – thus its nickname, “Tree of Life.” In Ancient Egypt the olive leaf was a symbol of heavenly power. In ancient Greek mythology the olive tree was a gift from the goddess Athena. Olive leaf was first mentioned officially in Europe as medicine about 150 years ago. The bitter substance is a molecule called oleuropein (pronounced O-lee-u-ro-peen). Oleuropein is also in olive oil. Olive Leaf is a Broad Spectrum Healer According to Dr. Dr. 1. 2.
Ingredient in olive oil kills cancer cells with their own enzymes A Rutgers nutritional scientist and two cancer biologists at New York City's Hunter College have found that an ingredient in extra-virgin olive oil kills a variety of human cancer cells without harming healthy cells. The ingredient is oleocanthal, a compound that ruptures a part of the cancerous cell, releasing enzymes that cause cell death. Paul Breslin, professor of nutritional sciences in the School of Environmental and Biological Sciences, and David Foster and Onica LeGendre of Hunter College, report that oleocanthal kills cancerous cells in the laboratory by rupturing vesicles that store the cell's waste. LeGendre, the first author, Foster, the senior author, and Breslin have published their findings in Molecular and Cellular Oncology. According to the World Health Organization's World Cancer Report 2014, there were more than 14 million new cases of cancer in 2012 and more than 8 million deaths. But oleocanthal didn't harm healthy cells, the researchers found.
Olive oil kills cancer cells SCIENTISTS may have discovered the reason the Mediterranean diet helps people live longer and healthier – because olive oil destroys cancer cells. The discovery, by researchers from Rutgers, Hunter College and New York City University, showed that oleocanthal in extra virgin olive oil “induced cell death in all cancer cells examined – as rapidly as 30 minutes after treatment”. Studying prostate, breast and pancreatic cells plus normal cells in the laboratory, they discovered that the anti-oxidant oleocanthal only worked on the cancer cells and left the normal cells untouched other than a temporary slowing-down of activity. Revealing their research in the journal Molecular & Cellular Oncology, they said extra virgin olive oil was a key part of the Mediterranean diet and was known to contain “an abundance of phenolic antioxidants that are potent inhibitors of reactive oxygen species and is associated with a reduced risk of several types of human cancers”.

Gather rose hips for health by Gail Butler Vitamin C-rich rose hips can be found in dried form in most health food stores, but why not gather your own?
