You see them all over TV and the internet. “The only way to detox is the new blah blah blah.” They claim to be the latest and greatest in your body detox program, but are they actually worth it? Learn about some of the greatest fads in natural body detox today and if they are worth looking at.

So let’s talk about your feet for a minute. Your feet? Yes. Many people involved in a whole body detox like to do a detox foot bath. This is not the same as the plastic massaging foot bath you got for Christmas that you never use. A detox foot bath uses a metal container that puts an electric charge in the water. This charge doesn’t hurt you, but binds to the toxins in your body and carries them out through the pores in the feet. Many people say this foot bath works well. But in any natural body detox, removing toxins is pointless if you are just going to put them back in your body. So yes, you may remove toxins through the hundreds of pores in your feet but if you put them back in you are kind of defeating the purpose.

Now what about the whole juice diet craze. It’s similar to a fast, except that you are allowing your body the nutrients from the juice. This is a great way to cleanse the system. However, you don’t want to do it for longer than a couple of days. You would be depriving yourself of other needed vitamins and minerals if this is all your natural body detox consists of.

Speaking of fasting, what about purging? This is where you bulk up on fiber, laxatives, or supplements to keep you in the bathroom for the better part of your natural body detox. This is one body detox tip you want to avoid. Yes, it is important to stay regular. But besides putting yourself at risk for bulimia and possibly harming your colon, purging doesn’t do much at all. When you purge, your body isn’t going to get rid of only the toxins and keep all the healthy stuff. It’s going to get rid of everything and leave you feeling sick and weak. While these can be normal side effects of a healthy body detox program, don’t fool yourself into thinking that purging is the way to go.

So now we have reviewed some of the most popular body detox tips in the fad arena. Make sure when looking at a fad that you check credible research to find out if this is something that is here to stay. Don’t jeopardize your whole body detox by engaging in risky behavior that will leave you worse off than when you started. The goal is to improve your health, not sabotage it.

Do you have any unwanted character traits or behaviours that you find undesirabel? Are your behaviours holding you back from achieving the things in life that you deserve? Are you struggling to overcome a bad habit that is interfering with your quality of life? If you have ever tried to overcome a bad habit or change an undesirable behaviour then you already know just how hard it can be to use will-power and conscious effort to get the job done!

Will-power is not enough to change your behaviours, beliefs or habits. By using conscious effort to change things you also evoke your own resistance. Resistance is such a powerful force that completing any task when you are experiencing it is almost impossible.

What if there was a way to bypass your resistance and remove the need for conscious effort in order to make life-changes. Do you think you would be interested in finding out more about how to do this?

Well the great news is that there is a way to avoid the need to use conscious effort to make changes that also bypasses the feelings of resistance that such an approach usually creates. It is called Subliminal Message programming and is one of the quickest and most powerful ways to make life changes with the least amount of effort!

To better comprehend the process we must first look quickly at your behaviours and your motivations that drive them. Every form of behaviour that you display is motivated by your thoughts. Regardless of whether you consider your behaviour to be positive or negative you will find, upon introspection, that this behaviour has a thought or series of thoughts that drive it. This is great news because if you have unwanted behaviour that is directed by your thought then all you have to do is change your thinking and your behaviour will change automatically.

When you look further into this and ask yourself why you think in a certain way you will find that at its core your thinking is directed by your emotions. This is also great news for although many people fail to realise it you should understand that your emotional responses are also under your control. For example you had the desire to read this article. That desire lead to the thought “I am going to read this article” which in turn lead to the reading of the article or the action of actually doing it.

If you want to create change in your behaviours and actions, which will inevitably lead to changes in your life, all you need to do is change the motivations and thoughts which drive your actions.

Now doing this consciously can be a great up-hill struggle. This is the very reason why there have been some fantastic technologies invented and improved upon to make the whole process a faster and easier life-changing experience. Hypnosis is a great tool for self change as is visualisation and the use of affirmations but one of the most effective methods, which requires the least amount of effort, is Subliminal programming.

In order to get the most from using subliminal technology all you need is the decision to change and the persistence to listen to your chosen Subliminal Message program. For this reason the entire process becomes incredibly simple an deasy. Once you have made the decision to change the rest of the process is relatively straight forward. As with anything in life after a decision has been made it must be backed by the appropriate action.

If you make a decision to learn golf then sitting at home watching day-time TV isn’t going to progress you forward in that goal. Instead you must study the basics and then the advanced techniques of golf while you practise actually playing the game. Self improvement is no different. However with subliminal programming and the use of subliminal messages you can make the transition painless and a lot faster than you could with conventional methods.

To eliminate unwanted behaviours and create new ones you now know that you must change your emotional responses and thoughts regarding certain things in your life. The quickest way to do this is to change your internal dialogue or self-talk.

The way you speak to yourself is a very important factor in how you view the world and your place in it. You inner dialogue determines your predominant thoughts and actions and thus is the most important driving force behind your behaviours. So through subliminal technologies is very easy to change this self-talk and guide it from where it is now to where you wish it to be.

Do you want to think like a millionaire? Would you like to change your iner dialogue to reflect that of a thin fit person who loves exercise and never indulges on fatty life-threatening foods? How do you think your life would unfold if you were the type of person who’s inner dialogue was one that reflected high self-esteem and confidence? What do you think you could achieve if you spoke to yourself like a high-achiever? Would you like to be a person who’s internal dialogue matched that of life’s winners? Would you like to speak to yourself in motivational, encouraging ways and change your thoughts and inner words to match that of your role models?

If the answer is yes then subliminal programming is probably the fastest most effortless way to do it. You can literally reprogram any habit or behaviour and install new self-talk on any subject you wish. You can change any area of your life and direct your destiny through the power of your thoughts, emotions and actions!

If given the choice and you knew it would happen in what areas of your life would you like to see a change?

John Howard asked:


I am a person who was suffering from excessive hair loss for the last couple of years. I am 34 years of age now. In my twenties I had thick straight hair and most of my friend envied my hair. My hair started to fall down heavily a few years back for no express reason. I was dejected and I was afraid that I would become bald within a few years.

Since then I have been looking for a hair care product that could give a permanent solution to my problem. I was in search of a product which could rejuvenate my hair cells to grow thick again and thus prevent or at least delay the onslaught of in me at an early age. I also wanted to choose a hair care product that would cause no side effects in me upon regular use. In short I was looking for a natural product that could give me complete relief from my problem of unprecedented early balding.

Initially I experimented with those hair care products which had wide advertisements and which offered magical relief from the problem of balding. These products were often highly expensive. Unfortunately none of those products cured my problem of hair loss. Even though some products did have some effect on excessive hair fall, it often caused headaches and flu to me and I was compelled to discontinue those products.

As my search for a complete cure for baldness by myself failed and ended in a disaster resulting in unwarranted side effects, I decided to seek for expert opinion by consulting a qualified medical practitioner.

The doctor I consulted prescribed for various clinical tests and finally told me that I am perfectly ok and that my problem of hair loss appears to be hereditary. He told me that there is no specific treatment for this condition and advised me to take some zinc supplements. Though the intake of zinc supplements did reduce my loss marginally, it did not cure my problem.

Provillus was introduced to me by my friend. My friend had used it and had positive result against balding. He claimed that the above treatment did not cause any side effects to him. As I found testimony in the success of this treatment in my friend’s hair, I decided to undergo treatment with Provillus.

Believe it or not my friends, within two months of undergoing the Provillus program my lost hair started to grow back slowly. Today I am a happy man. I have regained seventy five percent of my lost hair. It has absolutely no side effects. I strongly recommend this hair loss treatment program to all those unlucky persons who have excessive hair loss.

Other products that have worked for men in the same situation are the medically prescribed Propecia which is a tablet that is taken daily to stop the production of the bad testosterone which causes the hair loss.

Also Rogaine which can also be prescribed by doctors but can be bought online and over the counter at a drug store. It is a liquid that is applied twice daily and works in much the same way as Propecia.

Finally, another herbal remedy called Procerin works in a similar way to Provillus, however I haven’t had much experience with this and can only say that I know others who have found it to be successful.

Magnetic therapy has been around for centuries and is gaining popularity and effectiveness in today’s world. Magnetic therapy is a safe, effective, alternative source of pain relief for muscle and joint discomfort. Magnets are non-invasive ways of helping the body heal itself with out adverse side effects. This is an excellent choice for everyone.

Magnetic therapy works by helping the chemicals within the body to move to the affected area. For a body part to heal the site must be restored to its natural state. Pain and inflammation is removed from the area and oxygen and nutrients are moved into the affected area.

Magnetic therapy is safe. Complications should not occur if magnets are used properly. However, if you have a pacemaker, defibrillator, insulin pump or other electro-medical implants you should not use magnets.

Magnetic jewelry can be worn daily so you get continuous therapy. Magnetic jewelry can provide pain relief in your joints. There are two ways that magnet jewelry can provide a stimulus to increase endorphins, a natural way to gain pain relief and help in circulation. This helps to flush out toxins which may be a cause of pain in the body. By using magnets as self-help health care alternative to pain relief of neck, wrist, shoulder, knee, back, elbow or ankle, one may feel relief within a few hours or a few minutes. A beneficial side effect from using magnets could be increased in energy to help carry you through your busy day(s).

Magnetic wraps, braces or supports can be used by athletes or the general population to help heal joints caused by injuries or osteoarthritis to one’s arms, legs, hands, and wrists. By increasing blood circulation to a specific joint(s) the healing time and pain relief is shortened. Magnets can help prevent muscle spasms that occur with pain associated with joint pain.

Arthritis sufferers are probably the largest portion of our population that uses magnetic therapy. Many people often wonder why they waited so long to start magnetic therapy after receiving relief in a short amount of time.

This is my (medical student’s) response to the Grey’s Anatomy Episode, “The Other Side of Life.”

I wanted to find out what procedure Susan Grey had and what exactly happened.

Short medical summary:
Susan Grey had the hiccups! She first was given chlorpromazine, which is normally an anti-psychotic drug, but sometimes works to relieve hiccups.

Hiccups are a sign of some underlying problem and with Susan, her issue was one of acid-reflux — when acid goes from the stomach up to the esophagus (which is the tube that connects the mouth to the stomach).

Miranda decides to do a more drastic intervention called an endoscopic gastroplication
– which in real life has a high long-term fail rate! (go figure).

In the episode, the endoscopy leads to more complications — a bacterial infection of Susan’s heart valves called bacterial endocarditis. This infection became uncontrolled and evolved into probably what was sepsis, which completely overwhelmed Susan’s ability to recover from the infection.

For more information on “sepsis”:

http://www.clevelandclinic.org/health/health-info/docs/3800/3887.asp?index=12361

I thought I would throw out the idea of “hiccups” and “acupuncture” for your consideration, as it is something that seems to work in case reports. Several groups have reported anecdotal cases of success using acupuncture to relieve hiccup symptoms.

Case reports are less rigorous forms of research, based on observation. Doctors normally don’t make much of case reports. But given how acupuncture is usually very safe (if the acupuncturist is a certified one in the U.S.), I thought it would be interesting to consider it as a possible option and as an area of further research.

P.S. I wanted to point out something important: I’m just a medical student, so my posts are hopefully conversation starters, but only conversation starters — not medical advice. If my posts intrigue you, please read more about the topic and discuss about it with your doctor. I’d be happy to send you the information in the journal articles I talk about. Also, the opinions expressed in this post are not necessarily those of Harvard Medical School, its affiliated institutions, or Harvard University. Best wishes!

In today’s world, stronger medicines – antibiotics, steroid preparations and hormonal condensates – are pumped into the human systems-.-in- the name of breakthrough in medicine which not only produce ugly side-effects but also lead to harmful suppression of the original disease in its simpler form. The nineteenth century witnessed the barbarous use of leeches, acids, alkalis, and strong potions which often caused untold harm to the patient more than the original malady. The modern age has seen the use of ointments, douches, nasal drops, throat paints, cough suppressants, ear and eye drops, sinus punctures and radium-therapy. These local applications are based on the assumption that some of the constitutional manifestations like eczema and ear discharges are but only local phenomena and, therefore, do not merit deep consideration in the matter of treatment. It is a matter of observation by any sincere and conscientious physician that in a child suffering from a thick green ear discharge, it is wiser to let the trouble alone than to tamper with it through local douches and washes. Its suppression leads to such a terrible internal turmoil that the child suffers pitifully and is ultimately forced to .phthisis. Dr Hering, one of the greatest medical scientists of our time, discovered the laws of cure by studying the natural direction of the flow of the disease forces in human beings. Thus, Hering’s laws of cure, as they are known, consider a disease as a subtle force which deranges the vital force of an organism, and suggest that the natural direction of the flow of disease force is from outer to inner and the right course, of disease cure is to direct the disease force from within to without. Similarly, the laws stipulate that the disease in the process of cure travels from above downwards and its symptoms return, during the course of medication, in the reverse order of their appearance in the natural disease form

The first law can be verified by observing the natural reaction of the body to the assault of the morbid force of measles. After a few days, the body, in its wisdom, throws the disease force onto the skin in the form of eruptions as the skin is the safest part, or else vital organs like lungs, heart or liver may be harmfully affected. We also know that the more abundant the eruptions, the safer it is for the patient as it saves him from the internal turmoil. Any attempt to reverse the natural direction of the disease proves to be detrimental to the patient and is not the right course of treatment. The reversal of the direction of the disease force is suppression. All physicians, at one time or another during their practice. have encountered the phenomenon of metastasis – change in the nature and seat of the original disease – like the involvement of the heart in the event of mismanagement of gout, flight of disease to meanings on the suppression of syphilitic ulcer, and chronic arthritis following the suppression of excessive menses in women.

We can, therefore, conclude from the foregoing discussion that the rational concept of cure is to treat in consonance with the natural laws, to use such remedial agents .as to exercise the subtle. natural force matching with the subtle disease force and to bring about cure in a simple, gentle and permanent manner.

Extending the above logic to the art of healing through magnets, it could be argued that the therapy satisfies all the scientific criteria of a rational cure. Firstly, the magnet works on the natural law of magnetism; it is a natural subtle force with healing properties. Secondly, the magnetic application cannot be considered as a local application like an ointment. as it affects the whole organism and not just the part on which it is laid. Once the magnetic equilibrium is re-established between various organs and functional processes, the cure effected is of a permanent nature and not short-lived unlike in most superficial remedial agents. However, in certain neglected and advanced incurable cases like those of ankylosing spondylitis, the magnet brings the desired succour by way of relief in pain, stiffness and swelling. It has been verified in clinical practice that the disease once cured through magnets does not return, though in some rare cases mild exacerbations may recur due to sudden emotional, climatic and dietetic irregularities. But these can be tackled with a few additional sittings with magnets. Thirdly, a magnet offers itself as one of the simplest medicinal tools hitherto discovered or invented by man. The method of application is easy – even a layman can use it in any disease – and the action of the magnet is so gentle that most persons do not perceive any sensation, while some sensitive patients only feel a tingling sensation. It is a boon in the treatment of children who are scared to death by bitter medicines and frightening injections. No harmful side. effects have been noticed or reported, though certain pleasant side-effects have been reported by a number of magnetotherapists from many countries. Finally, it could be emphatically asserted by any healer of this system that the application does not provoke any other diseases or complications. Hence it is safe in any disease.

Thus, we have a simple, safe, gentle and potent curative agent in a magnet which can provide a rational answer to the problems of diseases which have plagued mankind through the centuries.

David & Veronica asked:


What are the chances?  Driving along and there you see a big sign flashing “Bob Dylan in concert.” He is, after all, truly a living legend. Since I have never seen him and I might not get another chance, I thought I’d be an idiot not to grab this opportunity.  Veronica wasn’t overly thrilled since she had seen him several times before (her dad is  the quintessential old hippy making the annual Dylan pilgrimage).  I tried to think of some provocative ways to sell her on the idea of spending a hundred bucks and a couple hours of her life listening to unintelligible lyrics mumbled by a 67 year old man. 

I tried the living legend idea but she had seen him before, so…as we talked about it, I stumbled on what I think is the real reason for anyone to be interested in seeing Dylan, even if they don’t particularly care for his music.  Few people in the history of the arts ever make significant changes in the way their medium is executed. Bob Dylan is one of those few.  He fundamentally changed the way songs are written, not musically, but lyrically.  There is a noticeable difference between songs before and after his influence.  Before Dylan, lyrics told stories in a clear, straightforward manner.  The use of imagery was mostly confined to the music itself, with melody and chord structure. He changed that.  Now it is common for the lyrics to be used as a vehicle to “paint a picture” as much as the feel and form of the music.  Bob Dylan had a huge hand in making that happen.  This point made an impact on Veronica and now she was actually looking forward to the show (I wisely decided not to remind her that she wouldn’t be able to decipher a word the man sings–lest I lose the whole lyrics argument).

   

We arrived just before showtime without tickets and by complete dumb luck got seats in the third row that were somehow overlooked in the advance sales.  What can I say, we lead a charmed life.  The first thing I noticed upon entering the arena was the crowd.  It’s been a long, long time since I have been to a big stadium Rock concert but I still remember what it was like…and this wasn’t it.  I actually felt like one of the younger ones there.  This was probably a good thing.  No mosh pits, groupies, biker security or clouds of pot smoke to obscure the reason we came. There was, however, a quite large contingency of younger kids from the local college willing to stand though the entire show in exchange for the cheaper ticket prices. Perhaps that’s where some secret herbal fires were burning.  It did seem like a small whiff drifted by now and then.

As for the show itself, it was pretty much what I expected, except that Dylan has reinvented himself as a keyboard player on this tour.  He only touched a guitar on a couple songs and used the harmonica mainly to add a little color here and there.  The crowd went wild every time he touched the harp though, so it worked.

Dylan’s been known to do entire shows of songs only a hardcore fan would recognize so we were happy to be graced with some classics like “Highway 61 Revisited”, “Like A Rolling Stone”, “It’s All Over Now Baby Blue”, “Maggie’s Farm” and “All Along The Watchtower”. All nostalgic, bring-you-back-to-a-certain-place-and-time classics. For Veronica, an especially fond memory occurred during “Rainy Day Woman #12 and #35″ (huh?, oh yeah, “Everybody Must Get Stoned”) remembering her mother’s shock that her father was listening to “that song” in front of the children. Daddy easily explained it off as a song about Jesus, which is funny because it’s (kinda) true. A fine little childhood memory that made Veronica smile.

It can be a bit off-putting how Dylan never acknowledges his audience, almost like watching a rehearsal. You can see that as good or bad, personally I find something to like in it.  The lighting is sparse–you never really get a good look at him, the stage very pared-down. It’s almost as if the crowd is an afterthought.  I can see how after several decades of performing these songs he might purposely phrase his lyrics so that it doesn’t turn into a sing along.  It also occurred to me that the college kids (and some of the old hippies) should stop shouting out requests of favorite songs, because it might make him all the LESS likely to play them.

Dylan wasn’t vibrant, yet he didn’t seem like an “old guy”, either. As Veronica noted, he “oozed cool”. He is after all, as his introduction stated, “the poet laureate of rock ‘n roll. The voice of the promise of the 60s counterculture. The guy who forced folk into bed with rock, who donned makeup in the 70s and disappeared into a haze of substance abuse and emerged to find Jesus.”

And the band kicked ass.
