Is Continuously Compromising Making You Sick? By Annabel Fisher Are you making yourself sick because you can’t say “No”? When I was giving an interview recently, I talked about how setting healthy boundaries can prevent long-term physical pain and illness. I’ve considered this a lot lately, because it seems that most of the work I do with clients is based around feeling safe enough to set boundaries and avoid compromise....

Wearing Natural Fabrics Promotes Health ( in: Jini Patel Thompson )

For people concerned about achieving or maintaining good health, it is important to avoid wearing synthetic fabrics next to your skin. Synthetic fabrics – nylon, polyester, fleece, gore-tex, spandex, acrylic, olefin, vinyon, etc. – are synthesized solely from chemical compounds. Often they are plastics made from petrochemicals. The reason they’re harmful is they leach chemicals and xenohormones (like xenoestrogens) into your body, through the pores of your skin:...

Before You Click SEND… By Jini Patel Thompson As the Internet and email become (or already are!) a primary method of communication, corporate and political lobbying groups are getting VERY smart in using tactics to misinform and manipulate people. In fact, they are tricking us into spreading their propaganda via email to our friends! Here is a great example of this: This email was spread virally among friends of an older age group. You can see how it’s specifically written to target the baby-boomer generation:

More Healthy Weight Gain & Treat Recipes ( in: Jini Patel Thompson )

In a past issue of Good Health Is Real Wealth, I wrote an article about how to gain weight using healthy, high nutrient foods that taste great. I shared my own personal recipes that I use for my family and especially for my kids (aged 4, 7, and 10) – so that they are actually eating nutrients when they think they’re getting a “treat”. Well, I got many emails from people who loved them and asked for more. So here you go, more treat recipes (regular and gluten-free varieties) and a savoury one as well.

Stricture Healing Protocol ( in: Jini Patel Thompson )

Gastroenterologists do not have any treatment protocols for intestinal strictures, other than surgery. However, using a combination of targeted natural therapies there can be relief, and often considerable lessening, or even elimination of the scar tissue build-up that comprises a stricture. Strictures are usually the result of an overgrowth of bad bacteria in the intestines, which causes repeated infection, inflammation and scarring. Thus it is REALLY important to eliminate the pathogens using Jini’s Wild Oregano Oil Protocol and very high dose probiotics.

HEALTHY FOD FOR CATS & DOGS ( in: Jini Patel Thompson )

As we eat more whole, unprocessed, natural foods ourselves, at some point we start to notice that we are feeding our pets completely processed, packaged, lowquality food. Is this how dogs and cats eat in the wild? Is this their native diet? Uh… no. As with all other animals, a natural diet for a dog or a cat consists entirely of raw food. If they were living in the wild, they would be consuming birds, insects, rodents, snakes, etc. and the vegetables they would ingest would be what was contained in the stomach of their prey. As Pat McKay writes in her book, Reigning Cats & Dogs:

How To Make & Use Diluted Wild Oregano Oil By Jini Patel Thompson If you’re like me and you have kids, then you may find yourself having to frequently make up batches of diluted wild oregano oil – for one reason or another.

How To Make & Use Diluted Wild Oregano Oil ( in: Jini Patel Thompson )

If you’re like me and you have kids, then you may find yourself having to frequently make up batches of diluted wild oregano oil – for one reason or another. So, to start with, let’s get really clear about what I mean when I say, “diluted” wild oregano oil. All commercial wild oregano oil (like Joy Of The Mountains or NAHS brand) are already diluted in a carrier oil like olive oil. This is because you cannot use essential oil of oregano directly on the skin – it must always be diluted before use. So the commercial brands are usually already diluted with 3 parts olive oil to 1 part essential oregano oil.

Natural Teeth Whitening ( in: Jini Patel Thompson )

I hope you have watched my video on healing my family's tooth decay using Nanoparticle Minerals by now. Of course, decay is rather a top priority when it comes to your teeth, but once that's handled, other concerns emerge - like the color of your teeth. A child's deciduous teeth are generally whiter than the adult teeth that follow. Then, as a person ages the adult teeth often become darker due to changes in the mineral structure of the tooth, as the enamel becomes less porous. Teeth can also become stained by bacterial pigments, foodstuffs and tobacco. Certain antibiotic medications (like tetracycline) can also lead to teeth stains or a reduction in the brilliance of the enamel.

Food-Based Probiotics: Yogurt & Yogurt Cheese ( in: Jini Patel Thompson )

Yogurt was an accident waiting to happen. The majority of food historians believe that in between developing pottery skills, surviving predators and cultivating the first farm communities, the Neolithic peoples of Central Asia discovered fermented milk products. Since there was no refrigeration, fermented milk products were part of nearly every culture. Depending on the climate, type of bacteria in the air and how long the milk had been fermenting, results could be highly beneficial or highly toxic.

Food-Based Probiotics: Lacto-Fermented Mayonnaise ( in: Jini Patel Thompson )

I did a lot of experimenting to determine which oils provide the best-tasting mayonnaise, whilst providing excellent nutrition – I think this recipe is my fifth variation and I'm finally happy with it! My never-ending thanks to Nourishing Traditions cookbook for providing the lacto-fermentation method whereby the mayonnaise keeps for 3-4 months, rather than a couple of weeks, and results in yet another source of beneficial, food-based probiotics. When you have a high nutrient mayonnaise composed of good, bio-available fats, you'll start using it everywhere – dips, sauces, sandwiches, salads, etc.

Benign Tumors

Also called: Benign cancer, Benign neoplasms, Noncancerous tumors
Tumors are abnormal growths in your body. They are made up of extra cells. Normally, old cells die, and new ones take their place. Sometimes, however, this process goes wrong. New cells form even when you don't need them, and old cells don't die when they should. When these extra cells form a mass, it is called a tumor.
Tumors can be either benign or malignant. Benign tumors aren't cancer. Malignant ones are. Benign tumors grow only in one place. They cannot spread or invade other parts of your body. Even so, they can be dangerous if they press on vital organs, such your brain.
Treatment often involves surgery. Benign tumors usually don't grow back.

Skin Cancer

Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in the United States. The two most common types are basal cell cancer and squamous cell cancer. They usually form on the head, face, neck, hands and arms. Another type of skin cancer, melanoma, is more dangerous but less common.
Anyone can get skin cancer, but it is more common in people who
Spend a lot of time in the sun or have been sunburned
Have light-colored skin, hair and eyes
Have a family member with skin cancer
Are over age 50
You should have your doctor check any suspicious skin markings and any changes in the way your skin looks. Treatment is more likely to work well when cancer is found early. If not treated, some types of skin cancer cells can spread to other tissues and organs.

Anal Cancer

Anal cancer is a rare type of cancer. The anus is where stool leaves your body when you go to the bathroom. It is made up of your outer layers of skin and the end of your large intestine. Anal cancer is a disease in which cancer cells form in the tissues of the anus.
Symptoms include bleeding, pain or lumps in the anal area. Anal itching and discharge can also be signs of anal cancer. Possible treatments include radiation, chemotherapy and surgery. Your treatment will depend whether the tumor has spread, and on the type, size and location of the tumor.

Cancer Alternative Therapies

You have many choices to make about your cancer treatment. One choice you might be thinking about is complementary and alternative medicine (CAM). CAM is the term for medical products and practices that are not part of standard care. Standard care is what medical doctors, doctors of osteopathy, and allied health professionals, such as registered nurses and physical therapists, practice. Alternative medicine means treatments that you use instead of standard ones. Complementary medicine means nonstandard treatments that you use along with standard ones. Examples of CAM therapies are acupuncture, chiropractic, and herbal medicines.
CAM treatments do not work for everyone, but some methods such as acupuncture might help with nausea, pain and other side effects of cancer treatment. In general, researchers know more about the safety and effectiveness of standard cancer treatments than they do about CAM. To make sure nothing gets in the way of your cancer care, talk to your doctor before you try anything new.

Breast Cancer

Breast cancer affects one in eight women during their lives. Breast cancer kills more women in the United States than any cancer except lung cancer. No one knows why some women get breast cancer, but there are a number of risk factors. Risks that you cannot change include
Age - the chance of getting breast cancer rises as a woman gets older
Genes - there are two genes, BRCA1 and BRCA2, that greatly increase the risk. Women who have family members with breast or ovarian cancer may wish to be tested.
Personal factors - beginning periods before age 12 or going through menopause after age 55
Other risks include being overweight, using hormone replacement therapy, taking birth control pills, drinking alcohol, not having children or having your first child after age 35 or having dense breasts.
Symptoms of breast cancer may include a lump in the breast, a change in size or shape of the breast or discharge from a nipple. Breast self-exam and mammography can help find breast cancer early when it is most treatable. Treatment may consist of radiation, lumpectomy, mastectomy, chemotherapy and hormone therapy.
Men can have breast cancer, too, but the number of cases is small.

Male Breast Cancer

Male breast cancer is rare. It happens most often to men between the ages of 60 and 70. Risk factors for male breast cancer include exposure to radiation, a family history of breast cancer and having high estrogen levels, which can occur with diseases like cirrhosis or Klinefelter's syndrome.
Symptoms of male breast cancer include lumps, changes to the nipple or breast skin, or discharge of fluid from the nipple. Treatment for male breast cancer is usually a mastectomy, which is surgery to remove the breast. Other treatments include radiation, chemotherapy and/or hormone therapy.

Lung Cancer

Also called: Bronchogenic carcinoma
Lung cancer is one of the most common cancers in the world. It is a leading cause of cancer death in men and women in the United States. Cigarette smoking causes most lung cancers. The more cigarettes you smoke per day and the earlier you started smoking, the greater your risk of lung cancer. High levels of pollution, radiation and asbestos exposure may also increase risk.
Common symptoms of lung cancer include
A cough that doesn't go away and gets worse over time
Constant chest pain
Coughing up blood
Shortness of breath, wheezing, or hoarseness
Repeated problems with pneumonia or bronchitis
Swelling of the neck and face
Loss of appetite or weight loss
Fatigue
There are many types of lung cancer. Each type of lung cancer grows and spreads in different ways and is treated differently. Treatment also depends on the stage, or how advanced it is. Treatment may include chemotherapy, radiation and surgery.

Cancer Chemotherapy

Normally, your cells grow and die in a controlled way. Cancer cells keep forming without control. Chemotherapy is drug therapy that can stop these cells from multiplying. However, it can also harm healthy cells, which causes side effects.
During chemotherapy you may have no side effects or just a few. The kinds of side effects you have depend on the type and dose of chemotherapy you get. Side effects vary, but common ones are nausea, vomiting, tiredness, pain and hair loss. Healthy cells usually recover after chemotherapy, so most side effects gradually go away.
Your course of therapy will depend on the cancer type, the chemotherapy drugs used, the treatment goal and how your body responds. You may get treatment every day, every week or every month. You may have breaks between treatments so that your body has a chance to build new healthy cells. You might take the drugs by mouth, in a shot or intravenously.

Cancer in Children

Cancer begins in the cells, which are the building blocks of your body. Normally, new cells form as you need them, replacing old cells that die. Sometimes, this process goes wrong. New cells form when you don't need them, and old cells don't die when they should. The extra cells can form a tumor. Benign tumors aren't cancer while malignant ones are. Malignant tumor cells can invade nearby tissues or break away and spread to other parts of the body.
Children can get cancer in the same parts of the body as adults, but there are differences. Childhood cancers can occur suddenly, without early symptoms, and have a high rate of cure. The most common children's cancer is leukemia. Other cancers that affect children include brain tumors, lymphoma, and soft tissue sarcoma. Symptoms and treatment depend on the cancer type and how advanced it is. Treatment may include surgery, radiation and/or chemotherapy.

Cancer--Living with Cancer

Cancer is a major illness, but not everyone who gets cancer will die from it. Millions of Americans alive today have a history of cancer and had successful treatment. For them, cancer has become an ongoing health problem, like high blood pressure or diabetes.
For most people with cancer, living with the disease is the biggest challenge they have ever faced. The disease changes your routines, roles and relationships. It can cause money and work problems. The treatment can change the way you feel and look. This page includes information on different aspects of living with cancer. Special sections cover nutritional, financial, emotional and sexual issues.

Carcinoid Tumors

Carcinoid tumors are rare, slow-growing cancers that usually start in the lining of the digestive tract or in the lungs. Because they grow slowly and don't produce symptoms in the early stages, the average age of people diagnosed with digestive or lung carcinoids is about 60.
In later stages the tumors sometimes produce hormones that can cause carcinoid syndrome. The syndrome causes flushing of the face and upper chest, diarrhea, and trouble breathing.
Surgery is the main treatment for carcinoid tumors. If they haven't spread to other parts of the body, surgery can cure the cancer.

Cervical Cancer

The cervix is the lower part of the uterus, the place where a baby grows during pregnancy. Cervical cancer is caused by several types of a virus called human papillomaviruses (HPV). The virus spreads through sexual contact. Most women's bodies are able to fight HPV infection. But sometimes the virus leads to cancer. You're at higher risk if you smoke, have many children, use birth control pills for a long time, or have HIV infection.
Cervical cancer may not cause any symptoms at first, but later, you may have pelvic pain or bleeding from the vagina. It usually takes several years for normal cells in the cervix to turn into cancer cells. Your health care provider can find abnormal cells by doing a Pap test - examining cells from the cervix under a microscope. By getting regular Pap tests and pelvic exams you can find and treat changing cells before they turn into cancer.
A vaccine for girls and young women protects against the four types of HPV that cause most cervical cancers.

Cancer Chemotherapy

Normally, your cells grow and die in a controlled way. Cancer cells keep forming without control. Chemotherapy is drug therapy that can stop these cells from multiplying. However, it can also harm healthy cells, which causes side effects.
During chemotherapy you may have no side effects or just a few. The kinds of side effects you have depend on the type and dose of chemotherapy you get.
