When one thinks of warts they usually visualize a beautiful princess kissing a wart ridden frog. But all is not as it appears...occasionally the Princess is the one infected with those pesky warts.   Where they appear typically depends on what type of wart is raising its ugly head. Warts are non-cancerous skin growths that are caused by a virus (HPV or Human Papillomavirus) that inhabits the top layer of the skin. The virus can invade your skin through small cuts and breaks. This is one of the reasons your Mom told you to always wear your shoes outside. Children, teens, and people with allergies or weakened immune systems are more vulnerable to the wart virus. Each person’s immune system responds to warts differently, meaning not everyone who comes in contact with HPV will develop warts.

It is widely used to promote a restful night’s sleep, known for its sedative and soothing properties, to lower blood pressure, prevent tachycardia and for insomnia.

It may be used wherever an anti-spasmodic is required, e.g. in Parkinson's disease, seizures and hysteria. Passion Flower can be very effective in nerve pai ...

This past weekend I met Tonya who had just gone through a protocol of chemotherapy and radiation for breast cancer. She had a question regarding coffee enemas and the benefits of detoxification. Having gone through two years of chemotherapy and radiation myself I can tell you it is one of the most intense treatments to endure. I actually got sick in the parking lot a year after finishing my treatment which was my body’s innate reaction when placed in the same environment. I found that others had also experienced this phenomenon. The best analogy for chemotherapy is that of an atomic bomb. It wipes out everything, the bad cells as well as the good cells. If it works effectively, the good cells survive and replicate to become more good cells while the bad cells die off and hopefully never to return.  I know you may feel exhausted and it felt as though you would not make it through the last treatment but you have! So if you have been throu ...
