Posted on September 07, 2009 by Collin De Ruyck

Many people are confused by the conflicting information that is out there about colon cleansing. The main concern is whether or not colon cleansing is safe or not. In no uncertain terms not only is colon cleansing safe it is vitally important that you cleanse your colon.

The colon almost never stops working it is like a machine that runs twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. It is an incredibly efficient organ, but over time it can be clogged by food that could not be used or excreted from the body. As it clogs up it is less efficient and this has an impact on the entire body.

The colon absorbs nutrients and vitamins from the food that has been broken down by the stomach. It absorbs everything the body needs and excretes the rest in feces. Over time some food clings to the walls of the colon. There is now a barrier between the digested food and the wall of the colon. This means that nutrients are no longer able to be absorbed by the body.

Removing this barrier will allow the colon to function properly again. There are many herbal based supplements that are extremely efficient in removing this plaque like build up. They are all natural and sold in many health food stores as well as at online retailers.

The most effective and safest method of colon cleansing is to take an all natural herbal based colon cleanse supplement. You can find them online and they are very reasonably priced. The systems have been proven to be effective and are all natural so there is no reason to worry about taking them.

The fact that colon cleansing is safe is not in dispute by any reputable person. Hundreds of thousands of people have colon cleansed with no ill effects being reported. In fact unless you are pregnant or have a pre-existing medical condition there is no documented reason not to undergo a colon cleansing program.

Strong Spirits Survive: How Laughter Improves The Patient Experience 0

Posted on September 02, 2009 by Karyn Buxman

Ive never had cancer. But I can’t tell you how many times I begged God to let me bear that burden. My son, a strapping 22-year-old junior at the University of Missouri, woke up with an aching chest that turned out to be a malignant tumor. Hes only a boy, I pleaded. Ive had a great life. Let it be me”not him.

I can’t even describe that time in our lives accurately. It went by in a blur — and not the fast paced blur you enjoy while you rocket along the roller coaster’s tracks, but a confusing, often terrifying inability to really understand and deal with what was going on. There were months of chemo. He had surgery. His hair fell out. The boy who could empty a refrigerator in the blink of an eye now wouldn’t eat — everything tasted metallic, and he had no appetite. And through it all, we wondered: would he ever have a girlfriend, a family, a life…

For two decades, I’d studied, written and spoken about the therapeutic values of humor. It was time to walk the talk. It was tough. I won’t kid you. Being funny can be hard work. At times, we had to make a conscious effort to laugh. And yet sometimes, if we would just let it”it would just happen. Humor was a saving grace for all of us.

We cried. Oh, we cried. But we laughed, as often as we could — and it turned out we could, quite a bit.

My son has always been lucky in his friends. David’s roommates provided him with great support and camaraderie, dubbing him “Captain Cancer” — the superhero no one wants to be. One roommate, an artistic red-headed color blind Italian, begged to decorate my son’s newly bald head with colorful markers.

His co-workers were great. He and another bouncer had long been known as Tonto and The Lone Ranger. Following one of his treatments, a bunch of his buddies visited. Afterward, David announced, My friends just gave me a new nickname: Chemo-sabi!

Many patients long for humor during their healing process. Allen Klein, author of The Healing Power of Humor, surveyed patients who were terminally ill about their feelings about humor. A vast majority (80%!) wished to laugh more. They wanted more humor — from the people around them. They also wanted the freedom to use humor themselves.

Proactively using humor helps heal the body and the spirit. How do you proactively use humor? Try the following:

Play: We can create our own joy and wellness with play. Create a play list — ten or more items that don’t cost a lot of money that you enjoy doing. They can be simple, they can be personal, but they have to be fun. When you’re feeling down, do an item from the list. This will make you feel better.

Make sure you have a stock of toys”Magic 8 balls, Koosh toys, whatever makes you smile”available.

Be A Humor Collector: Gather funny books, magazines, movies and cartoons. Have people tell you funny or embarrassing stories. Search for great jokes. Amassing the collection is only part of the fun: spend at least 15 minutes a day enjoying it.

Choose to surround yourself with people who share your appreciation of humor. The world is full of serious, downbeat folks who view the world through mud-colored glasses. Leave them alone, as much as possible: that type of mood is contagious, and you don’t want to catch it! Ask people to make you laugh — and do your best to make them laugh. Surround yourself with joy as often as possible.

To live well, you must laugh. That’s one of the pivotal lessons I learned from my son. He’s cancer free now, for four years. And he’s also my inspiration: for his courage, his gentle spirit, and of course, his sense of humor. It’s my honor to say that he’s my hero.

Will Resveratrol Be The Anti Aging Miracle We Have All Been Waiting For. 0

Resveratrol is a field of scientific study that has gained in momentum over the last 10 – 20 years. However the discovery of this natural fighting polyphenol in plants was first discovered much earlier.

Scientists across the country have identified a substance in red wine called Resveratrol that they believe might do more than just protect the heart, but could – in very high concentrations – significantly extend life by preventing a number of age related illnesses. If they’re right, we all may soon be taking a pill that could give us an extra decade or two of healthy old age.

And what could be wring with that, right?

One of the first famous studies, that took place with Resveratrol about 20 years ago and that really piqued the interest of the scientists, was with regard to the protection that the southern French people seemed to have against getting heart disease whilst they were still eating a high fat diet. This anomaly didn’t exist anywhere else in the western world as both in the USA and England the incidences of heart disease were raising sharply.

Believe it or not there have been many clinical studies done on the effects that resveratrol produces in terms of health benefits. It really is that big of a deal. And one study done in particular was that on the anti-aging properties of this organic extract. Want to know what scientist’s found out? They found that resveratrol really did produce anti-aging like benefits when consumed.

So, there is truth to what is being advertised everywhere. In many ways, this actually is a miracle supplement or natural aid or whatever else you’d like to call it. But this doesn’t really matter. What matters here is that resveratrol does indeed live up to the hype. It truly does produce health benefits that can slow down the aging process. How exactly is this possible? Well, you’ll have to keep on reading in order to figure that out…

How The Heck Can Resveratrol Slow Down The Aging Process?

However, with regular intake of Resveratrol, mitochondria is constantly created, thus your body produces more energy for your daily activities, making you look and feel younger than others normally do during middle or old age.

Just What Is Cancer Anyway? 0

Unfortunately, cancer is a fact of life in our world. People die from it every day and there are more kinds than one would like to think about. It seems every time you turn on the news, you hear another item or habit causes this dreadful disease. But what is it really? Why are there so many variations and what is the cause of it?

The basic idea of how cancer forms is a cell that should die through the normal cell lifecycle does not die. This mutation continues to grow and keep growing and turns into a tumor. This unchecked cell growth is what causes the cancer. Your natural immune system will fight it, but it’s usually treated by radiation, chemotherapy, and other treatments.

Not all tumors that form from these mutated cells turn into cancer. Some tumors are not cancerous and are called benign. They usually do not spread and can be considered localized. They are not dangerous, unless they keep growing. Benign tumors are many times left alone. They can be removed however to stop growth.

The malignant cancer is the more dangerous one. This is when the cells continue to grow and will not stop. They will spread to other parts of the body through the use of the blood stream and will cause infection and illness.

Basic treatments for malignant cancer are removal of tissue that’s affected and radiation or chemo therapy. Inoperable tumors will get chemo or radiation therapy as they are more effective for these tumors. The radiation will kill the localized cells and the body will dispose of them naturally.

Remission is the hopeful outcome for a patient with cancer. There is no cure. The chance of reoccurrence differs depending on what form a patient has. So far the best prevention of cancer is to reduce certain behaviors and activities that have been proven to cause the illness.

Hundreds of websites, such as www.canceranswers.info, offer support, information, and research. This has been a boon to survivors and those concerned with the killer disease.
