Re: Natural Remedies do work for some.
Natural remedies absolutely DO work and are far more effective and healthy than pharmaceutical pills and potions.
The range of available remedies is immense and one could spend a lifetime studying them and making personal records.
Everyone imo should do some level of research into them and get the basics nailed down. Your health would be vastly improved from doing so.
Here are just a tiny few of those I have used and proven worthwhile:
1. Grapefruit Seed Extract (GSE)
Has 100 internal uses and as many external uses. About the strongest natural antibiotic which is also anti-viral, anti-septic, and anti- many other things. I NEVER leave home without a bottle of it. It gets rid of gastrointestinal problems very quickly. If you eat something bad, with bad bacteria and feel sick, a glass of water with GSE will kill the bugs in minutes and settle your stomach. I kicked Norovirus with it in 12hrs, a condition that last 72hrs for most. It will help with a sore throat if used straight away, otherwise its acidity will irritate. Externally it will kill fungal conditions, help with eczema and infected nails. Helps animals too.
2. Lemons and Ginger
An absolutely amazing product of nature. Will boost your immune system immensely and fend off colds and flu viruses.
Combined with fresh ginger you have a powerhouse of goodness. Ginger relieves gastro related issues and has lots of health benefits. Incorporate it into meals often.
3. Garlic
Used for 1000s of years for its health benefits. Simply an unquestionable health boon of nature. There are over 300 active compounds in garlic all working together in harmony. By contrast an average paracetamol tablet has just1 active ingredient. Garlic help regulate blood pressure, will kill infections and bacteria and much more. As with ginger, get as much of it into your daily meals as possible.
4. Capsicum
The powerful substance found in chilli peppers. Great for blood flow and opening up the tubes and other things. It is also great against pain, which may seem counter intuitive. If you have arthritis in your joints or back pains then grab some Glucosamine Gel from Holland and Barretts. Aside from the glucosamine element the primary ingredient is capsicum. The gel will relieve pain within a couple of minutes. I've seen numerous people try it and be flabbergasted by the instant results.
5. Liquorice Root Capsules
Will kill off a tooth abscess naturally if you're someone who doesn't like dentists. Equally takes away the pain of tooth ache.
6. Cabbage
If you have a stomach ulcer and related problems, cabbage is your friend. It contains compounds which relieve the irritation of ulcers and helps clear them up. You can make a soup with it and other ulcer busting ingredients.
Final Note 1
With just about every natural remedy you will find a raft of deliberate misinformation out there on the internet put there by the Big Pharmaceuticals and their puppets. Most of their drivel uses the age old scare story tactics to try and put people off. You MUST be prepared to wade through this minefield of misinformation to get to the truth. In the end you have try these natural things for yourself to prove their efficacy.
Final Note 2
It is VITAL to understand the difference between NATURAL remedies and supplements.
Garlic is 100% indisputably a fantastically healthy natural product.
Garlic capsules are snake oil. They are a product marketed at people who worry about the stinky breath problem of eating garlic. So the manufacturer removes the alicin part that creates the smell, but of course this is the part with all the health benefits.
Vitamin C is 100% a healthy and vital thing for our immune systems. Take you consumption of it from fresh lemons, grapefruits and other natural sources.
Vitamin C tablets/capsules imo are not the same and have nothing like the powerful efficacy of lemons.
You get the idea.
Generally speaking if you want a natural remedy then you will be walking into a grocer's store to get them or otherwise ordering a known reputable product online (like GSE).
I rarely walk into a Holland and Barretts store which is full of pills and capsules. It's good for Glucosamine Gel and for some natural health food products like grains, muesli etc.
So always always go with nature and eat what she provides in the form she provides it. Accept no substitutes.
