Rejuvenate Feel Great

Just curious: Do people trust modern medicine or alternative (natural) approaches to health?

admin — Fri, 19 Mar 2010 06:03:21 +0000

Which one do you trust more?

Modern western medicine (medications, scientifically based statistics, doctor prescribed health and nutrition guides, etc.)

Alternative medicine (herbs, organic foods, natural folk-medicine treatments, and a personal approach to what you feel is best for your health, etc.)

Or do you draw from both modern and alternative?

Much of what doctors learn today is based on recognizing diseases and prescribing pills for them. Sometimes I think of doctors as sales reps for pharmaceutical companies. Not too many of them try to find root causes. However, there is one branch of medicine that does, it is referred to as functional medicine. I wish they would get more press.

On the plus side of modern medicine is the FDA. I think that they probably do things which are unethical at times, but they also force companies to meet certain standards. The alternative medicine people have no such restrictions.

I knew someone who was diagnosed with stomach cancer. She was told she only had two weeks to live. A friend of their family, who made his living selling supplements, told her that no doctor had the right to tell someone they only had two weeks to live. They believed him. He sold them vitamins, at cost. The family took a totally positive attitude, and wouldn’t allow any talk of death. Her family was robbed of that precious time (she died in two weeks).

If this salesman was a medical doctor, he could have been sued for malpractice, but since he was part of an unregulated alternative business, he got away with it.

When it comes to my health, I will look at alternative sources for some things, but I would never gamble with things like diabetes, cancer, or high blood pressure.

Are there womens health food lists/with calories?

admin — Fri, 19 Mar 2010 06:03:18 +0000

Are there any websites, that list diet tips, foods and show how much calories?

Thanks.

I’ve tried out every diet known to man but nothing worked as well as acai berry. I appreciate they say that pills do not work, nevertheless they definitely worked for me, and they’ve been featured on CNN too. There is a free trial on right now at http://pitars.easyweightloss2u.info , why not try it, how worse could it make things?

Do a lot of people see massage as a luxury or for health/wellness benefits?

admin — Wed, 17 Mar 2010 04:31:18 +0000

Some may not think much of massage therapy. I just want to know if anyone believes in its helpful qualities.
The stigma that comes with it isn’t fair to me. Some people are legit and shouldn’t be put into the suggestive category of sexual favors. I’m talking about people who actually see the physical benefits behind massage…

The benefits of massage extend beyond the physical. Massage is unique in that it provides tangible stimulation through touch.

Many people have reported cathartic experiences during a massage. Just as a massage unwinds tired and stressed muscles, it also may very well unwind repressed emotions that are not processed during a hectic day. In addition to reducing anxiety, massage has shown success in:

Fostering peace of mind and feeling of well-being

Promoting a relaxed state of mental alertness

Improving ability to monitor stress signals and respond appropriately

Enhancing creativity

Increased awareness of the mind-body connection

Improving employee performance and creating higher job satisfaction and morale

Benefits of Massage
Dilates blood vessels, improves circulation and relieves congestion.
Disperses the edema following injury to ligaments and tendons, lessens pain and facilitates movement.
Improves digestion and elimination.
Calms the mind. Promotes emotional balance and a sense of well-being.
Tones and relaxes the body and facial muscles which makes for a more youthful appearance.
Stimulates the nerves and reflex points throughout the body.
Helps to prevent muscular stiffness after exercise.
Acts as a "mechanical cleanse", stimulating lymph and hastening the elimination of wastes and toxic debris.
Relaxes muscle spasm and relieves tension

What are the best foods to eat to detox your body, to get ready for a diet?

admin — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 02:38:34 +0000

I’ve been on a diet for a while now, and I have not seen any results. I did not detox or cleanse my body before I started. Is that the reason I have failed? Will cleansing my system help with the weight loss?

I don’t know if detoxing your body will help you achieve your dieting goals, but cranberry juice is a good detoxer. Are you exercising as well? One of the key components to losing weight is using more calories than you consume, so that your body has to take the extra needed calories (your body’s energy source) from your fat cells. So my suggestion is just eat low calorie food, and exercise a lot. Ride a bike or walk to school or work instead of drive. Go for a jog instead of watch TV. Or find something you enjoy doing that is physically active, for me it is playing sports..

sex is a good (and fun!) form of exercise as well, there is even something called sexercise where you purposely do difficult positions and other things like that to make your sex more of a workout. Look it up.
Also, don’t expect to lose 20 pounds instantly. Losing weight in a healthy manner is a slow process. If you lose 2 pounds a week your doing darn good! Make a plan and stick to it, you can do it!

Does anyone know anything about a body detox?

admin — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 11:19:32 +0000

I want to do a natural body detox, preferably the lemon, chili powder and maple syrup detox….I’m always tired and getting sick so maybe if I try this it will help my immune system and energy level go up. Does anyone know of any other natural detoxes?

I AlwAys detox after a vacation and I go all pure. Start at 1week move up slowly. Eat only fresh fruits and vegetables. TAke all your vitamins And always have water to drink. Eat LOTS. It will flush your entire system(lots of bathroom breaks). Add flax to as much as you can. You’re probBly failing on your other detox tries because you didn’t eat often enough, didn’t take vitamins and didn’t drink enough. Good luck

what is the adaptive advantage for the human body to maintain a constant blood PH?

admin — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 06:11:41 +0000

what is the adaptive advantage for the human body to maintain a constant blood ph

From a defensive stand point, many bacteria or viruses cannot survive outside a certain pH range. From a functional stand point, many of our bodily functions depend upon the chemical gradients created by differences in pH’s across barriers. So for Na-K pumps to work the electrons need a certain pH level. The kidneys function on a pH gradient. Lungs… Stomach…etc.
