Our Emotions and Our Health

Our Emotions and Our Health
  
I have found that anger will manifest if our perception is not congruent with another person. Perception is in the eye of the beholder and even though two people may be looking at the same situation they will perceive based on their own interpretation. This can be influenced by their past hurts, insecurities and life experiences. If one fails to communicate their view of the situation properly then another can take offense and anger can present itself. Anger is not necessarily a bad emotion, I think God gave us anger as a protective measure and the Bible says “do not sin in your anger” (Ephesians 4:26).

Skin Brushing
By Melissa Bennett on 1/13/2010 3:22 PM

Hi Tina,

Here are the directions for Dry Skin Brushing,  Please call me if you have any questions.

Skin brushing is a wonderful way to open up an area of elimination through the largest organ in the body “You’re Skin”! Shedding of skin is a natural process which our bodies are constantly doing. Skin brushing is a highly effective technique for assisting the lymphatic system and boosting circulation. The following are guidelines to help you get started: Always use a “Natural Bristle” Brush such as Bass which you can find in your local health food store. If you use the script I gave Eileen you will receive 10% off the purchase.

Breast Cancer and Blood Type A

Blood Group A cancer Immunologic Factors
 
 
Blood  group A exhibits increased levels of P-glycoprotein which may indicate why individuals may not respond to conventional chemotherapy as well as other blood groups.  The newer chemotherapies, which are monoclonal antibodies, such as trastuzumab may have a more causative affect because of their ability to target cancer cells. The data from these studies show very positive results. An increase in survival rate had improved survival rates to 52% compared to standard chemotherapy. It would be interesting to know what percentage of patients in this particular study (B-31) were Blood Group “A”. It appears that a more integrated treatment protocol should be co ...

Natural Therapy for Bladder Control.
By Melissa Bennett on 5/13/2008 11:47 PM
How can reflexology help with bladder control?
      
Reflexology is a wonderful way to aid the body in natural healing. Many systems benefit from the balancing effect of this ancient therapy. The feet have numerous reflex points which relate to all parts of the body. These reflex points are found on the soles, the top, and the sides of the feet.  These reflex areas connect to the entire body through meridians or energy channels.  The hands can be massaged when it is not possible to work on the feet. Although the hands are not as sensitive as the feet initially, they wi ...

A Wart's Story
By Melissa Bennett on 4/21/2008 9:22 PM
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.   

Warts that appear o ...

Natural Solutions to help you Sleep
By Melissa Bennett on 4/11/2008 9:35 PM
Dear Jim,
I am sorry to hear that you are not sleeping throughout the night. Without enough restful sleep, you may feel like your dragging through the day. You can also become less sharp mentally, less productive, and more vulnerable—both emotionally and physically. Over time, insufficient sleep can impact your immune function and make you feel tired. If your immune system is compromised over time you may find yourself catching colds more often or just feeling like the “little train that couldn’t”. In any event, it is good to follow up with your medical doctor to see if there is an underlying condition which could causing your sleep disturbance. There are many natural solutions to choose from for sleep deprivation.

 

Getting enough sleep is one of ...

What is the difference between margarine and butter?  This information has been circulating for many years and has been debated in many forums… The majority have found the material to be based on factual information. The following link lists different research studies that support the context

Both have the same amount of calories. Butter is slightly higher in saturated fats at 8 grams compared to 5 grams.

Eating margarine can increase heart disease in women by 53% over eating

Apple Cider Vineger and Sinus Infections
By Melissa Bennett on 3/2/2008 7:10 PM

Sinus infection, or sinusitis, is an inflammation of the sinuses and nasal passages. Symptoms of a sinus infection include a headache or pressure in the eyes, cheeks, nose, or on one side of the head. Other symptoms may include nasal congestion with thick nasal secretions, cough, fever or bad breath.

Organic Apple Cider Vinegar is a popular remedy for stopping sinus infections. It is an amazing home remedy. Taken as a preventative it has an alkalizing effect on the body.   It is beneficial to take apple cider vinegar before the sinus infection occurs, which for most people is at the start of allergies, colds, flu, etc.

We have found that when apple cider vinegar is taken either as a da ...

Help with Shingles
By Melissa Bennett on 3/2/2008 7:04 PM
Dear Tracy,

I received your question regarding Shingles. The following are some complementary protocols that may help reduce symptoms of this extremely painful condition.

Passion Flower leaves have been used traditionally as a sedative. In fact, Algonquin Indians used passion flower tea to help soothe their nerves.

Passion flower supports the nervous system in a variety of ways. Many have found that it helps with relaxation of tense muscles and tension headaches.

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 ...

Detoxification after Breast Cancer
By Melissa Bennett on 2/27/2008 8:57 AM
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 ...
