OSTEOPOROSIS

Women are more affected by this disease than men. They have a lighter bone structure and the changes in their hormonal pattern after menopause seems to accelerate this disease.

Osteoporosis is a leaching of calcium from the bones that begins around 30 years of age. You really have to make sure that you are getting enough calcium in your diet: 800-1200 mg of calcium phosphate per day is required. If you are not receiving this amount, then you run the risk of osteoporosis when you grow older.

Foods containing calcium, such as dairy products and fish, are very important sources and should be included in the diet or supplementation.

Exercising regularly is recommended as this also prevents bone loss. The best forms are swimming and walking each day, so, after a hard day’s work, before sitting down in front of the television; take the dog for a walk. With exercise you can increase the size and strength of your bones

It is interesting to note that medicine in the 1930s suggested cocaine be used to deaden the nostrils as a solution to this problem. Of course the symptoms and side effects of that certainly make this a remedy we would not even consider today but there are some herbs and vitamins that can have an effect in reducing the symptoms of allergic rhinitis.

The herb garlic can be of great value especially when combined with horseradish. Both of these herbs have a bacteriostatic or antibiotic action. Garlic has an expectorant and drying effect on the sinuses. Along with its bacteriostatic and antiseptic properties, it can be extremely helpful for sinusitis. The horseradish acts in promoting discharge and drainage of that area and is also quite a powerful antiseptic. Combined with these, cod liver oil and extra vitamin A can be of benefit.

A combination of horseradish and garlic tablets, vitamin C complex, containing 1000 mg of a combination including calcium ascorbic acid, citrus bioflavonoids, rutin, hesperidin, rosehips and acerola, should be taken three times daily. To help build resistance, vitamin A (10,000 IU) in conjunction with the above, taken daily, can certainly have an effect in strengthening the mucous membranes, building resistance, drying out sinuses, and helping alleviate the problems of the spring hay fever or allergic rhinitis.

Cold hands and feet can be very uncomfortable, especially in winter, but some people suffer this problem constantly. It is caused by an abnormal spasm of blood vessels.

This poor circulation in the extremities can be caused from smoking. It is a documented fact that smoking causes peripheral vaso-constriction which lessens the blood flow to the extremities. If you are smoking then you should stop.

The vitamins contained in your food especially vitamin E can be very important. Vitamin E helps improve circulation. Start with 100 IU of vitamin E daily and slowly increase over six weeks to 500 IU daily. Herbs such as hawthorn berry can be very beneficial. Hawthorn berries have the ability to help dilation of the blood vessels, especially in the extremities, and this vasodilation warms the hands and feet.

Ginkgo and garlic are herbs that can also improve circulation. Chilli peppers can be included with your food and will warm you up. Chillies can be in a tablet or capsule.

SUPPLEMENTS

vitamin E 500 IU daily

Ginkgo Plus Formula 1 tablet morning and night

Ginkgo 500 mg

Bedsores may be caused from the pressure of lying in one part of the body for too long thus reducing the blood supply to the area.

Dead tissue and an ulcer can result. It is important that all body parts must be moved if there is bed confinement each day. This will help maintain good circulation and ensure the normal blood flow containing oxygen and nutrients reaches all parts of the body. Tight clothing can restrict the flow of blood to limbs. Taking vitamin E can help lower the viscosity, or thickness, of the blood improving supply to legs and arms. Vitamin E also has excellent healing properties. Zinc and vitamin C are also important nutrients to include in the diet. Vitamin C and Bio Zinc are needed to help form collagen (the cement of skin) needed for the formation of new tissue and to speed up the healing process.

An ointment that contains comfrey has cell-proliferant properties. It has been used for centuries in healing preparations and was commonly called ‘knitbone’. The cream should also contain vitamin E and vitamin A, as these vitamins help speed up the healing process.

SUPPLEMENTS

Bio C 1000 mg

Zinc 25 mg daily

vitamin E 500 IU daily

cod liver oil 5 ml daily
