A terrible superstition holds people around the world in its grip.  Ministers of religion, lawyers, architects, men renowned as brilliant scientists, physicians (particularly, physicians), University professors, middle class people, working class people, people of all nationalities, are its victims.
I was one for 43 years.  I really and truly thought that what my doctor said was gospel and never questioned him.
What is this superstition?  It is that health may be obtained and maintained and diseases “cured” by drugs, medicines and remedies.  They have not taken the pains to investigate, in an unprejudiced manner, this absurd and dreadful belief.
So what we have is physician, nurses and drug stores (by the way we do not have “drug stores” any more.  They call themselves “Pharmacies” I just checked the phone book.)  Other medical specialists all engaging in these false hopes.
Frightful suffering and bereavement are the common lot of mankind, except for the few who have released themselves from this superstition.
I consider myself lined up with Natural Hygienists and Naturopathic doctors and we feel it is simply amazing that the simple facts of which we have can be ignored so generally. And that people offer themselves as sacrifices to this great superstition.
When a theory of health is presented of the ways and means to “Cure” something or they are going to “find a cure, so give us more money” these stories are heralded as a great triumph of “science”
Yet the first principles of science are violated right in the beginning and in the entirety of such a theory.
If an articles is written which lays down in simple words the rules of health, means by which diseases can be obviated and recovery from diseases can take place, very few orthodox journals of high circulation will print it.
An example is in 1980 when after suffering for 43 years with arthritis and in weeks I was free of the debilitating disease; I took my book to the Regional meeting of the Arthritis Foundation.   I was so thrilled to think that with this book they could fulfill their promise that if we send them more money they will find a cure.
What a disaster.  My husband dropped me off at the hotel entrance and went to park the car.  When he got to the entrance he found two uniformed guards walking me out.  Bodily.
We were stunned.  They told me they did not want that sort of book at their meeting.
Since then I have over 310,000 copies around the world and get calls and emails daily thanking me for changing their lives.
So it is mainly to people, like myself, who believe as natural hygienists believe, to spread the word.  In 1980 there were about 6500 hundred doctors who were telling their patients that what I am saying here is true.  Two of them are named in my book “I Cured My Arthritis You Can Too”. Today in 2006 there are thousands more.
To us it is amazingly simple.
Eat the truly good food, breathe good air, drink pure water, exercise, maintain optimistic and pleasant thoughts, and therefore enjoy fantastic health.  Give our cells the proper nutrition and our immune systems will become as God gave us in the first place.  Our immune system will then rebuild our body and we will enjoy the freedom of no illnesses.
There are now millions who are beginning to rebel against what we might almost call the atrocities suffered as a consequence of this superstition.
Many who are ill and are being subjected to the remedies and poisons that are administered to them.  Drugs in large containers have the skull and crossbones on them but when we get the little bottles as “prescriptions it is not there.
My mother was told in the 30’s to use an aluminum type product as a cheap deodorant.  She did and I believe it was a contributing factor in the way she changed in later years.   Aluminum is causing Alzheimer’s.
While drugs may get immediate temporary relief, you will feel and know that the disease is becoming more and more serious.
I do not have final figures but look around.  In the early years of 1900 it was almost unknown to have heart troubles.  They did not spend time on it in medical schools.  All the major diseases of today, cancer, diabetes, arthritis, asthma, the list goes on and none were minor.   In 1960 one in 20 had arthritis.  Now it is 1 in 3
Same with cancer.  Now children are commonly getting it.  Heart troubles are killing us faster than ever.   I will try to find these figures. 
The Untied States is way down in the world as a healthy nation.   Have you ever known of so many people with so many health issues?  Baby boomers are filling our hospitals with more sickness.
I take my son to the VA hospital due to his Vietnam days and see people his age in terrible condition.   Amputees from diabetes, overweight everywhere.
I have felt since 1980 that I have a duty to tell people the other side.  I have done lectures and TV and radio.   I now do this newsletter.  I get people asking me to unsubscribe them due to my teachings.
My phone rings daily with people calling, crying, telling me of the 5, 6, 8 different drugs they are taking.   Although they call them prescriptions.  I ask each and every one of them to get the hand out from their “Pharmacy” of every drug they are taking and read them to the last page.
Then have a good talk with their doctors. 
What do I preach in just one paragraph?
Give your body what it needs in minerals, vitamins and enzymes and exercise, drink pure water, let no negative thoughts or people into their lives and feed our cells to let our immune system take over the job that God meant it to do. 
Which is to be in a state of health.    
If our immune system is not getting the proper nutrition we are in trouble.
Will this happen overnight?  No, You cannot stop taking the drugs you are on without the consent and help of your doctor.  Too many side effects can occur.
You did not get in the condition you are in overnight.  You will not get into a state of health over night.  But start now and by summer or sooner you will not know yourself.
Start promoting healthy cellular replication, get strong muscles, have clear breathing, increased energy levels and have body fitness.
Get supplements that are advanced Nutraceutical supplements.  Make an impact on your health today.  Feel the results and get VIBRANT HEALTH.
Take heed of what the Bible teaches of food.  Mainly moderation in all things.
Stop this insane habit of all cooked foods and foods pre-made.  We have gotten into the habit of fast is better.  Fast is not better.  It costs more in dollars when you buy it and cost thousands in medical bills later on.
Print this in your sub consigns mind. “I am the one responsible for what I eat and drink and do.  I am the one who can make changes so I may live, play and have a happy, illness free life”.
If you help yourself to this attitude you will be doing your doctor a big favor.  He is overworked and struggling to help. 
Stop looking for a magic bullet.  There is NONE.
I getup every morning thankful for my health.  And my state of mind and for the love of my family.  I look forward to each day with joy.
I look at problems as they come up as just a problem that needs a solution.
I work on the solution.  If I cannot fix it or change it I have a mental box that I put these things in and I lock it.
I allow nothing negative into my space.  If a negative thought pops in I chase it our.
Can you do this?  Of course.  Let me know how this changes your life.
I am here to help You, help Yourself enjoy a Healthier and Happier Life Style.
Best of Health,
Margie "The Arthritis Lady"

Aromatherapy as used today originated in Europe and has been practiced there since the early 1900s. Practitioners of aromatherapy believe that every oil has a vibration or note, which can be used for different therapeutic applications.
Aromatherapy can be used to relax and soothe the mind and body, to energize or even to arouse. Aromatherapy derived from the use of essential oils to solicit specific emotions. Essential oils have been used for thousands of years for their health supporting properties. The powerful aromas of essential oils affect your moods and feelings through your sense of smell.
By selecting a particular scent, you can encourage a state of relaxation, romance, healing or comfort. Essential oils can be used in Aromatherapy, to scent potpourri, lotions, cosmetics, perfumes, food flavorings and medicinally.
Additionally oils can be used in creating sachets, potpourri, reviving potpourri, and for light bulb scenting. Essential oils can also be used via the bath, diffusion, massage, or compress. Each individual person, fabric, or material may react differently to a particular suggested use.
Essential oils can be mixed in a cream essential oil combinations are applied directly to the skin for beauty care or treatment of sores or irritations. By using different essential oils, you can control the nature of those benefits.
A unique property of plants is that many contain natural fragrance or perfume-like scents known as essential oils. Essential oils come from plants while fragrance oils are artificially created and often contain synthetic chemicals.
Essential oils are taken from a plant's flowers, leaves, stalks, bark, rind, or roots. The yield of essential oil differs with individual plant species-ranging in most cases from about 0.2 to 2.0%. That's why literally tons of plant material are required for just a few hundred pounds of oil.
In some cases different organs of a single plant may contain essential oils of different chemical composition. In the end, even the smallest bottle of essential oil can create a lot of powerful solution. It is important to note that the benefits of aromatherapy do depend on the unique nature of each person's response to an aromatic stimulus.

Article Body:
China has made significant contributions in the field of medicine and cure. There are many remedies that originated in China and have proved to be of great help in healing people across the world. According to the people of China, there is a universal life force or energy called “chi” or “qi” that pervades the entire human body. The “chi” flows via unseen energy channels known as meridians. As long as the flow of chi is smooth and unobstructed, the individual remains fit and healthy. But the moment there are irregularities in the circulation of chi, health of the person receives a setback. So in order to remain healthy, consistency in the current of chi should be maintained.

To have a sustainable flow of chi, Chinese medical philosophers devised several ways. Some of the best and eminent techniques are listed in this article.
· The flow of chi can be systematized by pinching small needles in the human body at specific points. This treatment or technique was termed as acupuncture. The basic principle behind acupuncture is to open the blockages to have a constant flow of energy throughout the body. The acupuncture needles are meant to puncture or open the points known as acupuncture points. This treatment primarily affects the nervous system of the individual. It helps in secreting some crucial hormones and other chemicals that are not adequately produced but are required by the body. Many diseases like asthma, problems in vision, paralysis, alopecia etc. find acupuncture a satisfying and good remedy. The diseases might not be completely eliminated but they are definitely controlled through the Chinese developed acupuncture therapy. The best point of acupuncture is that it has no side-effects, its harmless to go for it 
· Chinese traditional herbal remedies are meant for hypertension and other cardiac problems. In case of hypertension a mixture of hawthorn, linden blossom, yarrow and valerian is given. The yarrow here is a diuretic while the rest act as relaxing agents. The hypertension with headache is treated with an additional wood betony while stress involves the usage of Siberian ginseng and skullcap.

· Arthritis and Inflammation also find a good treatment in Chinese herbs. Medicines like shosaikoto, sinomenium acutum and scutellaria baicalensis are found to be tremendously effective in this area.
· Chinese doctors have always emphasized the importance of exercise. They also worked out a special method or style of exercising. This method was named as ‘qigong’. Qigong is deemed to bi-function as a fitness developing and enhancing scheme and also as a springboard for superior martial arts. A set of qigong exercises has acted as perfect medicine in many cases.       
    
· The Chinese herbs have something to offer in case of common cold, flu, fever and influenza etc. Astragalus belongs to the pea family and is found to stabilize the immune system. Schisandra vine functions in multiple ways like in preventing diarrhea, cough, stress, aids in producing of fluids by the body. Echinacea is beat in averting cold or flu. It is a purple colored coneflower that stimulates the production of infection resistant white blood cells in the body.

  This however is not all. Chinese herbs and other remedies like exercises have a record-breaking significance in human life. They have largely contributed to the maintenance of a perfect health.

Tips for a Better Doctor Visit
1. Have as many medical records as possible with you to document your medical condition, especially for a new visit or a consult.  Go by the hospital, lab or other doctor’s office and get copies. This saves the doctor time and sometimes even avoids an extra official call.
2. Bring in the actual bottles of prescriptions.  While lists are helpful, the bottles reveal how many are prescribed at a time, dosage, and if there are any refills left.  There is no more guessing about the “little blue pill.”  With so many generics the same drug can show up as many different shapes and sizes depending on the manufacturer.  Now you can both be on the same page when talking about a specific medication. I am also surprised at the many errors on the bottles by the pharmacist. 
3. Create a list of questions/requests before your visit.  In fact, it would be ideal to tell the person making the appointment what areas you need to discuss.  This is not the time to say its “personal.”  We assume it is all personal in a medical office.  It helps us be prepared in scheduling, equipment, and assigning the proper room.  Believe it or not, we have heard most of your problems before.  Of course if it is extremely sensitive in nature than just tell the receptionist how much time you will need to discuss your personal problem. 
4. Try to keep to one system of the body per visit unless a complete physical is done.  Most office visits are geared to blocks of 15 minutes.  Usually this is adequate to cover most simple problems such as a rash, upper respiratory infection, and urinary infection just as examples.  The longer you have had the problem or the vaguer the symptoms such as abdominal pain or dizziness expect to spend more time.  Don’t hesitate to ask for more time.  We would rather know ahead of time what your expectations are.
5. Ask for prescription refills, notes for work or school, and forms to fill out at the beginning of the office visit rather than at the end.  Of course, a friendly reminder is always good if it has been overlooked when you leave. You can always give a list of medications needing refills to the nurse at the beginning of the visit too.  Again, communication helps everyone get their needs met.
6. Be realistic in your expectations.  If you start the discussion on a topic that is unrelated to the original problem on the schedule and want some answers, this leaves less time available for other problems.  For example, if you are due to have a pap smear and gynecological exam but start with a headache complaint that requires a physical and full history, don’t expect all of it to be done in one visit.  Always prioritize what is most important for that day.  Sometimes problems become more important, symptoms severe since the original appointment or follow up was made.  Just tell the nurse or doctor things have changed as soon as possible.  That way we can stay on schedule and you can get the most important problem addressed.
7. Don’t leave the office without telling someone if you aren’t satisfied with your service.  Most doctors and staff assume everything is going ok unless told.  It is easier to fix a problem, answer a question or complaint as soon as possible while the information is still fresh.  If you are uncomfortable talking or can’t stay, write a quick note.  Many areas are sensitive and highly charged emotionally.  It is easy to misunderstand directions, reasons for tests, or the intent of the doctor’s remarks.  We really do care how you feel. 
8. It is easier to process your visit on time and handle paperwork if all of your information is correct.  Tell the receptionist if you have moved, have a new telephone number, or changed medical insurance.  Always bring your insurance card with you.
9. I know everyone is busy and overscheduled.  The number one reason doctors are behind in the schedule is patients showing up late.  True, other factors can play a role such as telephone calls and very sick patients. Just be aware that as the day progresses the problem gets magnified.  If you must get in and out quickly try to book the very first or second appointment of the morning or afternoon.
10. Be flexible.  Medical offices are there to serve the patients.  Sometimes bad news, a tragic accident, or a serious medical condition requires more time and attention of the staff.  We can’t hurry someone out who is in tears.  Just be understanding that if it is you, you will get the extra time and attention needed.

ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE
Alternative medicine means different things to different people. Alternative medicine encompasses many different approaches from massage to Chinese medicine and yoga. Alternative medicine means practices or medicines that are used instead of the usual, or standard, ways of treating diseases or illness. Examples of complementary and alternative medicine are meditation, yoga, and dietary supplements like vitamins and herbs. Alternative medicine means that it is different to the dominant health care system and potentially can replace it.
Traditional Chinese Medicine is the oldest continuously practiced medical system in the world and is used by one third of the world's population as a primary health care system. Health is defined as a state of physical well being, mental alertness, socially adjusted, and spiritually developed. Health care is not about drugs and the cost of drugs.

CONVENTIONAL MEDICINE
Conventional medicine is continuing to lose market share. More and more people want options beyond what many consider to be essentially a high-tech slash, burn and poison medicine. Conventional medicine is used to describe the services that treat the symptoms of a disease or illness with prescribed medications and surgeries. Conventional medicine treats the ailing part of the body but may not address the underlying causes of the illness or disease.
Traditional practitioners don't express hopefulness when their medicine fails as they treat diseases first and then people secondly. On the other hand alternative practitioners, often encourage patients to be hopeful even when the situation is hopeless as they aim to treat the mind, body and soul of their patient.
Medicine is directly related to the biomedicine and health sciences. The term 'Medicine' today refers to the fields of surgery, clinical medicine and the medical research. Medical mistakes appear to be increasing, and if they are not, then at the very least, the publicizing of them is increasing. It makes people wary.
HERBAL
Herbal medicine is a booming industry in the United States. The American market for herbal remedies has doubled the last couple of years. Herbs may be harmful if taken for the wrong conditions, used in excessive amounts, combined with prescription drugs or alcohol, or used by persons who don't know what they are doing. Just because an herbal remedy is natural, does not mean it is safe!
ACUPUNCTURE
Acupuncture needles are usually inserted to a depth of about a quarter of an inch into the skin. The therapist gently twists or twirls them for up to 10 minutes, leaving them in five to 20 minutes longer; or stimulates them with a weak electrical current; or heats them with a burning herb such as mugwort (see moxibustion). Acupuncture was used as an illustration of medical irrationality before James Reston's fortuitous appendicitis brought it to the United States. From the impact of the LaLeche League on the advisability of breast-feeding to current studies of botanical medicines such as ginger, echinacea and ginkgo biloba, folk and alternative medicines have continuously influenced medical research and practice.

Before we begin a discussion about the benefits of acupuncture, let’s talk about the origins of acupuncture.  It was first used in China over 2000 years ago, and is one of the oldest medical procedures in the world.  It is a family of procedures that stimulates the anatomy of the body and helps to balance the energy flow throughout the body.  It is this kind of acupuncture that is practiced in the United Sates today, through the use of tiny, metallic needles placed in affected areas and manipulated by hand or by electrical stimulation.
Acupuncture is the basic foundation for Traditional Chinese Medicine and is based on the belief that there are two opposing and inseparable forces within our body.  They are known as the Yin and Yang of the entire person. The Yin is representative of the cold, slow, or passive principle, and yang represents the hot, excited or active principle.  A healthy state is achieved by maintaining a balance state of the yin and yang.  This is done through vital pathways or meridians that allow for the flow of qi, or vital energy.  The vital energy flow occurs along pathways known as meridians. These meridians connect over 2,000 acupuncture points along the body.  There are 12 main meridians, and 8 secondary meridians.  Although traditional western medicine does not completely understand how acupuncture works, the proof that it does work has been shown in several studies conducted by western medical facilities.
 Now, let’s move to the question of does it work?  According to the National Institute of Health, the answer would be yes.  Acupuncture has been shown to be effective in many areas of health care.  Areas such as postoperative nausea, chemotherapy side effects, osteoarthritis, low-back pain, headache, menstrual cramps, addiction, carpal tunnel syndrome, and asthma, just to name a few.  The study revealed that acupuncture was able to provide pain relief, improve function and mobility of joints due to arthritis inflammation, and served to complement standard care.
Although there are many who would doubt the effectiveness of acupuncture, once they are a patient, they are believers.  It has been proposed that acupuncture works and produces its effects through regulating the nervous system.  The theory proposes that since acupuncture produces its effect through regulation of the nervous system, it induces the release of endorphins and immune system cells at specific sites on the body. There is also the theory that acupuncture alters the brain chemistry by the changing the neurotransmitters in the brain.
 Without doubt acupuncture was a benefit in the study, and as a patient myself, I can vouch for the wonderful effect it has had on my back.  Although acupuncture is classified as an alternative medicine therapy, and there is still much to be understood about the way it works, it is a proven aid in maintaining optimal health.
 But what about the well individual, can acupuncture provide a benefit to them?  Absolutely.  Because acupuncture works off the belief that we must maintain balance of our vital energy flow in order to remain healthy, acupuncture serves as the tool for realignment.  Our vital energy flow can be out of balance, and we still feel and appear quite healthy.  It is in this capacity that acupuncture serves as a sort of preventive medicine.  Checking and balancing the flow of energy on the meridian points in your body is like your car receiving a tune-up before it is in need of a repair.  get more health and fitness articles at http://www.anabolic.ca/ and http://www.takingsteroids.com/

Natural herbal remedies are drawing the attention of many traditional medical practitioners to rapidly recognize the ability of the hundreds of thousands of known herbs that have the ability to treat and prevent various human and animal illnesses, as well as properties that can enhance mental attitude, appearance, and performance. 
Many centuries of experimentation by many cultures, for example Indian herbal medicine (Ayurvedic), Chinese herbal medicine, and western herbal medicine have created many uses for plants either singularly or in compounds, and sometimes animal by products to prevent and treat various conditions and illnesses.

* Chamomile Tea--calms nerves and help relieve digestive problems 
* Peppermint--Treats many digestion and gastrointestinal problems 
These common herbs may be mixed with other proven natural products to achieve a particular result. 
Traditional medicine is very useful for diagnosis, emergencies, trauma and surgery, but often does not cut it for preventing disease from occurring. The time and wait needed to visit a doctor to get a prescription, and the ever growing cost of medicine is allowing an opportunity for many people to try to get help from natural products. 
Many traditional medicines are showing many adverse side effects. Natural, is not necessarily safe, and may have unwanted side effects just as with conventional medicines, however a large ever growing number of the population has been using herbals, vitamins, minerals, and amino acids for many years with very favorable results and no adverse effects.

2) Avoid the sugar and caffeine roller coaster.  Eat some protein and foods with a bit of fat in the morning.  The brain needs protein and the body does not store it.  You don’t have to eat very much- a glass of low fat milk, a piece of cheese, or a  handful of nuts will get you going instead of pure carbohydrates like a plain bagel. 
3) Take a 5-10 minute power nap around lunch.  Even if you just close your eyes and let your mind drift you will be refreshed for the afternoon.  This is also effective anytime you feel yourself not concentrating, reading the same material over and over.  Give in to the urge and completely relax for a few moments.
4) Drink more water and liquids.  I know, everyone says to drink more fluids.  But most Americans are in a constant state of dehydration from filling up on coffee, tea, and sodas with caffeine.  This is very stressful to the kidneys and can cause irritation to the bladder.  Keep a sports bottle filled with your favorite flavored water or just plain and keep it with you at all times.  Set a goal- empty by lunch, refill, empty again by the time work is over. Carry plenty of water in the car too for you and your family.
5) Exercise regularly.  This is easier said than done with a busy schedule.  A poor conditioning level causes you to be short-of-breath and your heart to race when just doing simple things like climbing a flight of steps or doing household chores.  Park farther away when shopping and walk Dust off that exercise machine or get an exercise tape to play when weather is bad. Set an example for the rest of your family and maybe they will join in too!
6) A joke a day keeps the doctor away.  Seriously, laughter has many beneficial effects on the body.  The brain chemicals for experiencing pleasure, happiness, and peace increase with good, hearty  laughs.  Live alone?  Get a funny movie or watch a light-hearted comedy on tv.  Nothing sarcastic or put-down, however.
7) Avoid confrontations and situations with negative people.  You know who they are.  They are not going to change but they will bring you and your mood down.  The complainers, gossipers, and generally unhappy souls we all have to deal with on a day-to-day basis drain our energy if we allow them. Be polite but avoid arguing or getting hooked into listening to their constant problems.
8) Take regular, daily supplements of the highest quality.  Our food and diets simply do not meet the amounts needed for maximum health.  There is a difference between avoiding nutritional deficiencies and optimum performance.
