Dannon Sued Over Probiotic Health Claims Of Activia Yogurt

Posted by NatureDoc | Posted in Natural Health News | Posted on 31-07-2008

0


  

(NaturalNews) Yogurt maker Dannon has been hit with a class-action lawsuit alleging that the company has made false and misleading claims about the health benefits of its probiotic line of yogurts.
“Deceptive advertising has enabled Dannon to sell hundreds of millions of dollars worth of ordinary yogurt at inflated prices to responsible, health- conscious consumers,” said attorney Timothy G. Blood.
“All of Dannon’s claims for Activia and DanActive are completely supported by peer-reviewed science and are in accordance with all laws and regulations,” the company responded.
Dannon advertises its Activia and DanActive yogurts as containing  probiotic bacteria
   that help boost the immune system and regulate digestion. An aggressive marketing campaign by the company includes a high-profile ad campaign and a Web site with links to studies showing the benefits of the  probiotic  bacteria used in Activia products.

Are You Being Eaten Alive From The Inside Out?…Worms…Parasites

The studies cited by Dannon were all funded by the company. Filed in the United States District Court in California, the lawsuit says that there is no evidence that the  yogurt
  itself functions as advertised, regardless of what various varieties of probiotic  bacteria  may do in the laboratory.


Probiotics are microorganisms that provide  health benefits
  inside the body, but some scientists say that  probiotics  remain poorly understood. Of the thousands of probiotics that exist, very few have been tested for their effects when consumed by humans as part of their diets. Laboratory research does not necessarily translate into real health benefits, these researchers say.”At present, the quality of probiotics available to consumers in food products around the world is unreliable,” says a 2006 report by the American Society for Microbiology.There are few FDA regulations on marketing claims made on probiotic products, as long as those products do not claim to be equivalent to drugs that have the ability to cure diseases.

Ringworms? 10 Amazing Natural Remedies For Ringworms

Posted by NatureDoc | Posted in Foods That Heal, Herbs That Heal | Posted on 30-07-2008

0

CAUSES/NATURE-”Ringworm is caused by a fungus and is characterized by ring-shaped itching patches. Patches of round, itching rash cover the affected area.” Dr John Christopher The Complete Writings Of Dr. John Christopher

” Ringworm is a very contagious disease, caused by a parasite fungus…ringworm of the beard (face) is more persistent than ringworm of the scalp. Ringworm of the body is the easiest to eliminate.” The Natural Remedies Encyclopedia

WAYS OF TRANSMISSION- There are several different types of ringworms…but they all are of fungal origin.

  • Ringworm Of the Scalp- can be on the scalp and face, is highly contagious, can cause baldness which can become permanent if the hair shafts are destroyed by the fungus, is transmitted in unsanitary conditions, from child to child, in hair brushes, barber’s tools, hats and theater seats.
  • Ringworm Of the Trunk- Includes what is called “jock itch”, and is spread by contact with people and their clothing. Dogs and cats can also spread it.
  • Ringworms Of the Nails- This consists of a fungus growing under the nails of the hands or the feet. This fungus produces nails that are thickened, misshapen, brittle, discolored, chalky, pitted, or grooved. This type of ringworm is very hard to eradicate.
  • Ringworm Of the Feet – This is the same as athlete’s foot.

NATURAL REMEDIES

“Ringworm will never break out unless there is a toxic condition in the system. Look always to the “inside problem” while working on the effect, that is–the ‘external irritation’”. Dr John ChristopherThe Complete Writings Of Dr. John Christopher

REMEDIES FOR UNDERLYING CAUSE:

  • A three-day citrus fast combined with a good herbal cleansing of the bowels, and followed up by a wholesome and nutritious diet, especially of fruits and vegetables.
  • Eat lots of fresh garlic.
     
  • REMEDIES TOPICALLY:
  • Apply apple cider vinegar 3x per day with a cotton ball.
  • Place freshly cut raw garlic 3x daily on the area…you can blend the garlic with a bit of water and make a poultice. Let stay no more than 20 minutes at a time, and do not apply to athlete’s feet, it is too strong.
  • Apply Black Walnut extract to the area 2-3 times daily.
  • Apply Wild Oil of Oregano.
  • Take the leaf of a fig tree and rub the milky white sap within on the area 2-3 times daily.
  • Apply pure tea tree oil extract a few times per day to the area.
  • “Make a garlic paste of fresh, chopped, grated or finely cut garlic one part, and Vaseline (petrolatum) one part. Apply a generous amount over the afflicted parts, cover with gauze and leave on all night. During the day, massage with oil of garlic three or four times.”

“And the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.” Revelation 22:2

Asthma Causing You Problems? Experience The Power Of The Herbal Remedy Lobelia

Posted by NatureDoc | Posted in Earaches/Infections, Herbs That Heal | Posted on 29-07-2008

6

The Herb Lobelia:

Although not one of the most well known herbs among the general population, the herb, Lobelia, is one of the most effective herbs that one can use and should be kept on hand in a herbal first aid kit. I have personally seen this herb used for a man with severe asthma who was having great difficulty breathing, so much so that he was on the verge of being taken to the emergency room. He was given a teaspoon of Lobelia tincture and within about 10 minutes his breathing had returned by about 50%!

He was given another teaspoon and after another 10 minutes or so his breathing was back to about 100%!

Lobelia was an important healing plant in history, being successfully used by Samuel Thompson, one of the GREAT 18th Century Herbalists and other Herbalists, including Dr. John Christopher! Lobelia is the only Herb, that Dr. Christopher had devoted an entire Chapter in his Herbal Book, “The School Of Natural Healing”! Even
though in the U.S., the FDA is currently cautioning us on using
Lobelia, in Europe, it is an important Over-The-Counter Drug sold in many Modern Drug Stores there.
Alkaloids are one of the most powerful of all plant chemicals! Not all Plants have them and some, that do, only have a few, but
Lobelia ranks very high, having 14 different Alkaloids! And only Opium is higher, having 16 Alkaloids! I am explaining this, so that you will understand that even though we don’t know very much about Lobelia in this country, it has a history as a powerful
healing plant, having also been used successfully by the Native Americans!
Lobelia is one of the most powerful and versatile herbs, that I know. In my Clinic, I learned to rely on this herb more than any other! I learned in the first few years of my practice, that “When in DOUBT, TRY Lobelia!” It is the greatest herb for Lung problems! I have seen it work with a 100 different Health Problems!www.healingtools.tripod.com

Imagine… You Can Stop A Heart Attack In Just In 60 Seconds With Just 1 Natural Remedy FREE REPORT

Lobelia, wrote Dr. Christopher, is a general corrector of the whole system, as it is easily diffused and able to influence the entire body. Lobelia is an efficient relaxant, and is believed to be the best counter-irritant known to mankind. Its action is felt immediately on the serious, mucous, muscular and nervous systems, especially the sympathetic nervous systems. As a powerful antispasmodic, lobelia is effective in causing immediate relaxation and expansion of the contracted parts of the respiratory system (bronchial tubes, esophagus, glottis and larynx). This allows the “breath of life” (oxygenized blood) to flow freely to the de-energized tissues. Lobelia’s wonderful healing effects are due to the herb’s great ability to remove obstruction and congestion within the body, especially the blood vessels. It lessens the depression through the vaso-motor and strengthens the muscular action of the vessel walls which propel the blood, and thus promotes health.” Dr. John Christopher N.D., M.H The Complete Writings Of John Christopher C.D.

Imagine… You Can Stop A Heart Attack In Just In 60 Seconds With Just 1 Natural Remedy FREE REPORT

“Over years of practice, lobelia has been administered many times, and there have been numerous miraculous healings. Time after time, lobelia has helped the very young to the very old, with only positive results.” Dr. John Christopher N.D., M.H The Complete Writings Of John Christopher C.D.

“In cases where… spasms are so violent that they are stiff, and the jaws become set, by pouring some of this liquid into the mouth between the cheek and teeth, as soon as it touches the glands roots of the tongue, the spasms will relax, and the jaw will become loosened so that the mouth will open; then give a dose of it, and as soon as the spasms have abated, repeat it. . . .” Dr. Thomson /Herbal Doctor: Ibid.

Anal

For fevers, pneumonia, pleurisy, nephritis, hepatitis, meningitis, etc.:.. add lobelia to a catnip enema.

Oral

Asthma: Lobelia tincture is excellent as an emetic to free breathing and promote healing.

Earache:

Place a few drops of warm lobelia tincture in the ear and plug it with cotton. A few drops of tincture of lobelia in the ear speedily relieves earache.

 

OTHER USES

Convulsing babies have been instantly calmed by rubbing a few drops of lobelia into the gums or mouth.

Terrible pain from muscle over-exertion has been abated by massaging lobelia into the affected muscles.

Can I Use Some Natural Remedies For Hemorrhoids Instead of Preparation H?

Posted by NatureDoc | Posted in Hemorrhoids | Posted on 26-07-2008

1

WHAT ARE HEMORRHOIDS:

“Hemorrhoids, which are also called piles, are swollen and inflamed veins in your anus and rectum.”(Mayo Clinic/www.MayoClinic.com), ” Hemorrhoids are large varicose veins which are found in the anus and rectum.” (Natural Remedies Encyclopedia pg. 378), “An enlarged vein in the lower rectum or anus caused by blockage in the veins of the area.” (The Complete Writings Of Dr. John Christopher N.D. M.H– C.D.)

FACTS:

1) By age 50, about half of all adults have experienced the itching, bleeding and pain that often signal existence of hemorrhoids. 2) Internal hemorrhoids –are generally painless, but sometime bleed, the blood is bright red. 3) External hemorrhoids, also known as piles, sometime protrude from the anus. They enlarge, loose their elasticity and often form small sacs which protrude into the anal canal…they can be very painful. 4) Prolapsed hemorrhoids- This is an internal hemorrhoid that is protruding outside the anus; there is often mucous discharge and heavy bleeding, these can very, very painful.

Causes

Hemorrhoids can develop from any increase in pressure in the veins in the lower rectum. Common sources of pressure and hemorrhoid causes include:

  • Constipation and the accompanying straining
  • Circulatory Weakness of the Veins
  • Diarrhea and the continuous expulsion of loose stools
  • Liver Congestion
  • Obesity
  • Pregnant women and women who have had children tend to have hemorrhoids more often than other younger people.

Hemorrhoids are common in people who live on junk food diets, low fiber diets, lack sufficient exercise, sit a lot while working (especially sitting when tense or nervous), do heavy lifting, strain at the stool, are obese or pregnant, do heavy coughing, have prolonged use of enemas, and who have elevated blood pressure on the portal vein of the liver (as occurs in cirrhosis of the liver). (Natural Remedies Encyclopedia pg. 378),

“Varicose veins and hemorrhoids are both evidence of the same problem: lack of nutrients causing weakness in the circulatory system…The basic cause of this condition is sugar in the form of candy, beverages (pop, coffee, etc), pastries and bread. These leach out the calcium from the body. Other culprits are white flour, tobacco, and liquor. One of the first places the leaching starts is in the venous structure of the body, drawing off the supporting calcium. This is turn weakens the veins, causing varicose veins, which will, if allowed to continue, become phlebitis. Another serious area for leaching is the bowel area, where old fecal matter has accumulated. ” Dr. John Christopher (The Complete Writings Of Dr. John Christopher N.D. M.H– C.D.)

NATURAL REMEDIES

UNDERLYING CAUSE: First begin to address the underlying cause: Eliminate junk foods, and increase fiber in the diet by eating plenty of fruits and vegetables daily. Drink plenty of water, clean the lower bowel out! Avoid constipation, and avoid diarrhea. Avoid the things noted above that lead or contribute to the condition…. Take B complex, beta-carotene, (25,000 IU), vitamin E (400 IU) vitamin C (2,000 IU in divided doses), calcium (800 mg,) and magnesium 1,200 mg.

ACUTE STAGE REMEDIES:

RAW POTATO- Insert a piece of red potato, about the size of the little finger, into the rectum, for nearly instant relief. You can coat it with liquid vitamin e if you want. Retain it as long as possible. Sleep with it in. Insert a new one after each bowel movement.

COCONUT OIL- Bath the area clean with a cotton ball soaked in Witch Hazel. Follow with generous amounts of coconut oil. Follow this procedure about 3 times a day–basically every morning/night and after each bathroom trip. After 2- 3 days the pain should be completely gone, keep doing procedure until no visible outer hemorrhoids if you have them, should take a week to a week and a half.

ONIONS- Take two cups of finely chopped or grated green onions mixed with wheat flour and fried in vegetable fat until the mixture resembles a salve. A thick layer is spread on a cloth and bound to the affected area just before bedtime. Repeat for two days; this usually clears it up in two days.

“Push em Back In” Technique
This technique is used for the extremely quick relief of the pain of external hemorrhoids. First take a shower and clean the area good with soap, preferably a natural based soap. After you have cleaned yourself, while still in the shower, apply a good amount of soap thru fingers to use as a lubricant. With your middle finger, be careful not to use your fingernails, push the hemorrhoids back in! The pain will leave immediately. Remember, this is not the cure but for acute symptoms.

Can Chemotherapy Really Cure CancerReally?

Posted by NatureDoc | Posted in Cancer | Posted on 24-07-2008

Thousands of people die yearly from cancer, but the acceptable treatments continue to be chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation. People who seek to deal with the cancer using natural means, at least in the United States are compelled to go to Mexico often times to some natural health facility that has been driven out of the U.S. Former White House press secretary for the Bush administration, Tony Snow, died recently at the age of 53…could he have lived had he chosen to go the natural way? Read more below:

(Natural News) Former White House press secretary Tony Snow died in July 2008 at the age of 53, following a series of chemotherapy treatments for colon cancer. In 2005, Snow had his colon removed and underwent six months of chemotherapy after being diagnosed with colon cancer. Two years later (2007), Snow underwent surgery to remove a growth in his abdominal area, near the site of the original cancer. “This is a very treatable condition,” said Dr. Allyson Ocean, a gastrointestinal oncologist at Weill Cornell Medical College. “Many patients, because of the therapies we have, are able to work and live full lives with quality while they’re being treated. Anyone who looks at this as a death sentence is wrong.” But of course we now know, Dr. Ocean was dead wrong. Read Story Here

Looking For Natural Remedy For Yeast Infection

Posted by NatureDoc | Posted in Natural Remedies For Yeast Infection | Posted on 23-07-2008

1

Yeast Infection :

“Candidiasis, commonly called yeast infection or thrush, is a fungal infection (mycosis) of any of the Candida species, of which Candida albicans is the most common.

Candidiasis thereby encompasses infections that range from superficial, such as oral thrush and vaginitis, to systemic and potentially life-threatening diseases.”

SYMPTOMS:

In Women…

Severe Itching, burning, and soreness, irritation of the vagina and/or vulva, and a whitish or whitish-gray discharge, often with a curd-like appearance.

In Men…

1) Red patchy sores near the head of the penis or on the foreskin. 2) Severe itching and/or a burning sensation. 3) Candidiasis of the penis can also have a white discharge, although uncommon. However, having no symptoms at all is common and usually, a more severe form of the symptoms may emerge later.

CAUSES:

Candida yeasts are usually present in most people, but they are controlled by other naturally occurring microorganisms, i.e. , bacteria co-existing with the yeasts and by the human immune system. Uncontrolled multiplication however results in disease. Some things which have been linked to contributing to the development of a yeast infection are:

  • Long Term Use of Antibiotics
  • Stress
  • Prescription Drugs/Birth Control Pills
  • Sugary and junk foods
  • Insectides, Tobacco, or perfumes, etc.

 

HEALTH AND TEMPERANCE 
  • In the oral cavity candida is called thrush, white sores may develop on the tongue, gums, and inside the cheeks.
 
  • In the vagina, it results in large amounts of a white, cheesy discharge and intense itching occurs.(THREE OUT OF FOUR ADULT FEMALES HAVE AT LEAST ONE ATTACK OF CANDIDA)
 
  • Other effects are food allergies, athlete’s foot, ringworm, jock itch, and even diaper rash.

 

Natural Remedies:

Avoid the indicators mentioned above. Do not use sugary foods, cheese, alcohol, chocolate, fermented food, gluten grains (wheat, oats, rye, and barley), meat, pickles, raw mushrooms, vinegar, or any yeast products. Yeast thrives on sugars and carbohydrates. A strict vegetarian, non-dairy diet of protein and unrefined grains is best.

Echinacea is very effective for yeast infections.

Grapefruit Seed Extract

Start on a daily probiotic, and drink plenty of water.

APPLE CIDER VINEGAR AND SEA SALT
Sit in a bath of 1 cup Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) and 2 cups salt run the water up to the top of your legs. Sit in it for 20 minutes. Bend legs as you sit in water.

Garlic

A clove of garlic, peeled and inserted into the vagina, is amazing against yeast infections. Insert clove every night, into the vagina. Garlic supplements can also be used, (Kyolic Garlic Recommended), by being inserted into the vagina.

Boric Acid

Boric Acid can be found at the drug store then take 00 capsules at the health food store.  insert every night for two weeks into the vagina. 

When you feel the slightest burn or itch that put 1/2 cup of boric acid into a tub of slightly hot water about 2 inches deep and sit for 15 to 20 minutes before bed. This will neutralize the inbalance of PH in the vagina.  Do this every night until infection is gone. for about a week.

12 Herbal Remedies For Colds And Flu

Posted by NatureDoc | Posted in Herbs That Heal | Posted on 20-07-2008

0

A cold is a disorder in the respiratory tract resulting from exposure, with catarrh and invasion of microbial cleansers.

Herbal Aids

1. Burdock: To promote perspiration (diaphoresis) in colds and fevers: Double the dose in hot water, adding 1/8 – 1/4 teaspoon of ginger (Zingiber officinale) to each teacupful.

2. Sarsaparilla: As a diaphoretic for colds and fevers. Drink the decoction or compound decoction hot.

3. Garlic: At the onset, place a clove of garlic on each side of the mouth between the teeth and cheek. The cold will disappear within a few hours or within a day.

4. Tansy: For low fevers, colds. Take small and frequent dosages of the warm infusion.

5.    Bayberry: Colds, flu, fever, etc. Use bayberry in combination with diaphoretics (yarrows, catnip, peppermint, sage, etc.); it is very effective here.

6.    Yarrow: Taken freely in the hot infusion form at the beginning of a cold, alone or preferably in combination with other herbal remedies (such as elder flowers and peppermint), it will break up a cold overnight or within 24 hours; wrap the patients feet in flannel that has been wrung out in apple cider vinegar, keeping it warm with a hot water bottle.

7.    Camomile: Give a warm infusion with a little ginger (Zingiber officinale) added.

8.    Boneset: Influenza, colds, fevers, etc. Give the 1/2-1 teacupful hot, every hour until freely perspiring and the fever begins to subside- then give in smaller dose as a tonic (cold) every 2-3 hours and keep closely-covered in bed 24-48 hours until all signs of the fever are gone.

9.    Blue Cohosh: Recent colds (children). Give 1 tablespoonful of the infusion in 1/2 teacupful of sweetened(with a little honey) hot water, while closely covered in bed, if the first dose does not produce free perspiration within an hour, repeat hourly until it is produced.

10.    Motherwort: for influenza, severe colds, low fevers: Give 2 tablespoonfuls in 1/2 pint of boiling hot water (or as hot as can be taken), watch for beads of perspiration to appear on the forehead.

11.    Horehound: Children’s cough, croup, and chest colds. Make a syrup of the infusion (or concentrate, etc.) and honey (as much as desired) or take the warm infusion freely.

12.    Garlic and Rosehips: These tablets and capsules are to act as an aid, to assist in relieving colds, etc., or wherever garlic aid in relieving infection can be used as an aid. These are made up of garlic with parsley, watercress, rosemary, and rosehips. The adult amount to be used can vary from one to six or more as needed several times in a day.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED: Kyolic Garlic Supplement With Enzymes

37 Incredible And Amazing Facts About Your Body

Posted by NatureDoc | Posted in Understanding Your Body | Posted on 19-07-2008

1

 

In Naturopathic Doctor school we have a lot of emphasis placed on understanding the human body, and truthfully I have always been fascinated by its complexity…it truly stuns the intellect.

In 1 human lifetime: 
You will grow 1,000 layers of skin.

Your nails will grow 7 feet.

You will lose 70 miles of hair from your head… 
Your heart will beat 2,500,000,000 times!
 

If you rub your forearm briskly for a few seconds, 300,000 skin cells will come off of it. By age 70, you will shed 105 pounds of skin. 
 

In one day, a human sheds 10 billion skin flakes.

Every square inch of the human body has about 19,000,000 skin cells.

Every hour one billion cells in the body must be replaced.

Once a human reaches the age of 35, he/she will start losing approximately 7,000 brain cells a day. The cells will never be replaced.

Two million red blood cells die every second in your body.

Each day your body pumps 400 gallons of recycled blood through the kidneys.

Your body has about 60,000 miles of blood vessels. That’s enough to go around the world twice.

You were born with 300 bones in your body, however when a person reaches adult hood they only have 206 bones. This occurs because many of them join together to make a single bone.

Your heart will beat around 3 billion times in if you live an average lifespan.

About 2 million blood cells die in your body every second, and the same number are born each second.

Within a tiny droplet of your blood, there are some 5 million red blood cells, 300,000 platelets and 10,000 white cells.

It takes about 1 minute for a red blood cell to circle the whole body. Red blood cells make approximately 250,000 round trips of the body before returning to the bone marrow, where they were born, to die.

Red blood cells may live for about 4 months circulating throughout the body, feeding the 60 trillion other body cells.

Your skin secretes antibacterial substances. These substances explain why you don’t wake up in the morning with a layer of mold growing on your skin – most bacteria and spores that land on the skin die quickly.

The surface area of your lungs is roughly the same size as a tennis court.

The capillaries in your lungs would extend 1,000 miles if placed end to end.

Considering all the tissues and cells in your body, 25 million new cells are being produced each second!

In 1 square inch of your skin there lies 4 yards of nerve fibers, 1300 nerve cells, 100 sweat glands, 3 million cells, and 3 yards of blood vessels.

Nerve impulses, to and from the brain, travel as fast as 170 miles per hour.

Your stomach has to produce a new layer of mucus every two weeks otherwise it will digest itself.

Your left lung is smaller than your right lung to make room for your heart.

On average you produce a quart of saliva a day or 10,000 gallons in a lifetime.

Every person has a unique tongue print.

On average your heart will pump 48 million gallons of blood in your lifetime.

Your brain generates more electrical impulses in a single day than the world’s entire telephones put together.

A fetus acquires fingerprints at the age of three months.

Your sneeze can exceed the speed of 100 mph.

Your brain continues to send out electrical wave signals approximately 37 hours after death.

You shed and re-grow outer skin cells about every 27 days – almost 1,000 new skins in a lifetime.

You have about 45 miles of nerves in the skin.

Your eye can detect more than 10,000,000 different colors!

Every seven years, your body replaces the equivalent of an entirely new skeleton.

I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well. My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them. ” Psalms 139:14-16.
