Cleanstart (Colon) Testimony

Tallyg — Fri, 28 May 2010 16:21:55 +0000

Tally and I go back almost 20 years and I have nothing but love and respect for her. So when she suggested that I take calcium/magnesium supplements for my bone and muscle loss from a knee injury, I did just that. Within a week I could really tell the difference. She also put together a health plan for me last year prior to my knee injury and to this day I wonder if I had followed her plan, I may not have injured my knee playing softball!! I recently tried the Nature’s Sunshine 14 day cleanse she recommended and when I tell you I felt like a new women… So bottom line Tally really knows her stuff and is dedicated to promoting Women’s Health. Love you Tally and don’t give up on me!! ) Regina Cook

Ginger: Good For What “Ail’s” You

Tallyg — Thu, 15 Apr 2010 20:03:35 +0000

While no one is quite sure about the origin of ginger, it was first grown by the Chinese. In 19th century England, ginger was placed on the pub counters so that patrons could add it to their drinks. Apparently, this was the introduction of ginger ale! The health benefits of ginger are boundless and medicinal .

Ginger has been used to treat nausea, motion sickness and vomiting. Ginger has a long history of use for all types of digestive upset and can be helpful to increase appetite. Powdered dried ginger root is made into capsules for medicinal use. Although very effective against all forms of nausea, health officials do not recommend taking ginger root for morning sickness commonly associated with pregnancy, although it has been known to prevent morning sickness.

Research has also found ginger to be a powerful antioxidant. Ginger has also been shown in research to have a role in the natural inflammatory response of the body. In India, for example, ginger is applied as a paste to the temples to relieve headaches. Ginger has also been commonly used to treat inflammation. There are several studies that demonstrate positive results on reducing joint pain from arthritis and other inflammatory disorders. It may also have blood thinning and cholesterol lowering properties, making it effective in treating heart disease.

Ginger is also used for people suffering from gallstones, because the herb promotes the release of bile from the gall bladder. It has also been used to relieve headaches. Another important advantage in the use of ginger is the compound known as cineole, which may help reduce stress. The anti-inflammatory properties associated with ginger lessen the pain of arthritis sufferers. It also aid’s in the treatment of respiratory infections. Results in animal trials showed that ginger seems to prevent or slow the rate of tumor growth in cancer. Another study showed that rats given ginger and then subjected to chemicals that induce cancer had a significant reduction in cancer than the control rats.

Now the health benefit of ginger is getting attention and is found to aid in the treatment of cancers. A study done at the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center found that ginger powder induces cell death in all ovarian cancer cells to which it was applied. http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2006-04/uomh-gco033106.php

You may also be interested to learn that in a research study reported in the International Journal of Obesity in October 1992, shows that ginger increases weight loss by calorie burning. Researchers found that ginger made the tissues use more energy. Ginger is very safe for a variety of complaints. Occasional heartburn seems to be the only documented side effect. However, it increases stamina; eases cold symptoms; soothes and promotes healing of minor burns and skin inflammations; is a digestive aid for nausea, vomiting, cramps and motion sickness.

While the health benefits of ginger are many, its efficacy is more potent when purchased fresh. You can use a garlic press or grate and will give you the highest benefit.

Book Review

Tallyg — Thu, 23 Apr 2009 01:50:21 +0000

That’s the question –Why are we still faced with an epidemic of heart disease that will kill more than half of our population? Dr. Lundell witnessed heart disease; he held it in his hands a quarter century after performing over 5,000 open heart surgeries.

While he was saving lives for many years he also wrestled with what he saw in the arteries of every patient-inflammation. The question he asked himself was why was inflammation present? This book is about a dedicated heart surgeon, Dr. Dwight Lundell. He wrote this book for the people, our hearts, our life’s for us to act on the knowledge and share this information with our loved ones, friends, etc. We need to tell as many about the truth so we can save as many life’s as possible. The book helped me to understand the reason people develop and die from heart disease. If only I knew what I just found out I would have been able to help some of my family and friends that have passed away as a result of heart disease. I thought high cholesterol was the cause of heart related diseases.

Now I see the real cause is inflammation-not cholesterol. This is inflammation you have swelling, redness, heat and pain around the area of the reaction to the injury or infection. The combination of the low fat and low cholesterol diet with other life style choices has created a firestorm. The most important thing to understand is with the long lists of aliments-inflammation is the common factor in almost all cases. The awesome news is that we can reduce inflammation. Dr. Lundell’s book explains in very simple terms how to take a stand and fight inflammation. We just need to read this book and follow his recommendations, watch our health change, get that glow back in our face.

This book is a must have in your library of books. Dr. Lundell says we need to make simple changes that will treat the inflammation instead of believing that cholesterol causes heart disease. If we give our bodies what it needs to operate properly our health will make remarkable strides and respond.

Liver the Organ of Emotion

Tallyg — Wed, 22 Apr 2009 01:24:00 +0000

The liver is and important organ in the body and is the largest organ. The function of the liver is to store vitamins, sugars, fats, and other nutrients from the food you eat. It builds chemicals that your body needs to stay healthy, breaks down harmful substances like alcohol and other toxic (poisonous) chemicals, and removes waste products from your blood. Every organ, gland and tissue is dependent upon the liver, and the liver depends upon the digestive tract.

The liver is known as an organ of emotion and even thought. The liver is located behind the ribs on the right side of the abdomen. The liver empties harmful material from the blood and produces enzymes and bile that aids the digestive system. A healthy liver is critical to proper protein, carbohydrate, and fat metabolism. The liver performs numerous functions for the body: converting nutrients derived from food into essential blood components, storing vitamins and minerals, regulating blood clotting, producing proteins and enzymes, maintaining hormone balances, and metabolizing and detoxifying substances that would otherwise be harmful to the body.
The liver is connected to a lot of bodily organs. One of the most common diseases of the liver is hepatitis.

Hepatitis A, B and C are the most common forms of liver disease in the U.S. The liver is responsible for a lot of functions. The liver is responsible for our vision. If you are irritable and anger this affects the liver and here is what can result: menstrual pain, headache, redness of the face and eyes, dry mouth and dizziness. More than any other organ the liver is affected by our negative thoughts and feelings. The liver stores our blood, it opens our eyes and it rules our tendons and marks our nails.

A bad diet will gradually weaken the digestive system; the organ that is affected by this bad diet is the liver. This is why when people cleanse or take herbs to cleanse and strengthen the liver, strong emotions surface. The cleansing reaction must occur if we are to rid ourselves of the cause of our problems. Women suffering with menopausal and menstrual problems, infertility and endometriosis can get great results from a liver cleanse and detoxification. This is why cleansing of our liver is so important in helping rejuvenating the liver.

Allergies & Menopause

Tallyg — Thu, 02 Apr 2009 18:18:27 +0000

Allergies in menopausal women are common. In menopausal women the immune system goes into confusion and we are more susceptible to allergies during our menopause stage. The age most women reach menopause is between 45 and 55 years of age is the average and for reaching menopause is about 50 years. There are a small percentage of women that reach menopause before age 40. What are menopause allergies? They are allergens that have substances, often times eaten or inhaled, that can cause an allergic reaction when recognized by the immune system. The problem that makes it worse, it can be almost anything that menopausal women are allergic too.

In menopausal women sugar suppresses our immune system. Sugar can set our allergies off and make it more difficult for you to fight off viruses and bacterial infections. Here are some of the symptoms of allergies I have listed. Some of them tend to be mild, moderate, and severe.

· Congestion & Sneezing

· Difficulty breathing

· Different levels of swelling

· Itchy eyes, watery eyes, dry eyes

· Itchy crawly skin

· Making it difficult to breathe

· Rash, Hives

· Congestion & Sneezing

· Dizziness & Not Focused Mentally

· Vomiting & Diarrhea

Our body immune system and body hormones use the same chemical messenger that allergies react from. These changes will affect the overall working of our bodies. It all comes back to our hormones that is imbalanced due to our menopause. Our immune system will suffer and make menopausal woman more prone to allergies. Just to name some of the allergy symptoms we suffer with. The allergy symptoms will affect each individual differently some will be mild to severe. As for myself I can experience very mild to severe symptoms. I have just gotten to know my body well over the 50 years and understand what is going on. Also note that what caused your hypersensitive today may change the next day. This of course presents problems for the medical practioners dealing with menopause and allergies symptoms. This is why we have to take charge of our lives and research and look for natural healthy alternatives.

Allergies are often the result of an overloaded toxic state within the liver. As I have been studying diet and herbs, the human body I found out a lot about the liver and the important role it plays. If the quantity of a substance entering the bloodstream is too great for the liver to process quickly, the immune system recognizes the molecules as being an allergen and produces antibodies against them. So if the liver is filtering and processing correctly the allergen would not have the affect on our body. The allergy season is upon us and I have started to experience some of these symptoms listed. What I have noticed is since I am doing a cleanse right now my body is fighting the allergy symptoms. The Chinese call this formula “tiao he,” which means “harmonizing.” In herbology, it is considered a liver-cleansing formula.

This is where lifestyle changes should begin and be very careful when choosing a remedy or medicine to treat the allergy symptom. Keep your windows and doors close to prevent pollen and other allergens from entering into the home or car. Wash your bed sheets and linen in hot water at least once a week. Also buy allergy free pillowcases and bed protectors. Take a look at your diet, exercise and start eating right. Start taking natural supplements that will relieve these symptoms.
