The Best Prenatal Vitamin 3 Month Supply

Due to our increased knowledge with regard to wellness, many women have become knowledgeable with regard to the importance of prenatal vitamins and their role in preventing birth defects. It is important to know that both mother and child do have increased nutritional needs during pregnancy. Although many women are prescribed prenatal vitamins by their physicians during their pregnancy, it is growing more common in some areas that even women who are planning to conceive begin taking prenatal vitamins. Thus many women begin protecting their body’s early.

Most of the prenatal vitamins currently available are intended to make-up for potential nutritional failings. They nearly always include such nutrients as folic acid, calcium, and iron. These nutrients diminish the likelihood of birth defects caused by nutritional deficiencies.

IMPORTANT NUTRIENTS FOR MOTHER AND CHILD:

DHA

DHA is a fatty acid belonging to the omega- 3 family, and it is very important for brain development. This nutrient is crucial for the baby from the very beginning of pregnancy through the time of breast feeding. It is necessary to the body, but much more so during pregnancy.

IRON
The mineral iron is drawn upon heavily by the baby in the third trimester of pregnancy; it draws its supply from the stored supply of the mother. Iron is very important, and will be found in most prenatal vitamins.

FOLIC ACID
Folic acid is a must during pregnancy. It is copious in dark leafy vegetables, citrus fruits, and whole grains, among other foods. It cuts the risk of birth defects in babies, and is almost always found in prenatal vitamins.
Folic acid has been found to be necessary to the neural tube development of the baby. This takes place during the first trimester of a woman’s pregnancy. Some women even begin taking folic acid or folate 30 days or more before attempting pregnancy.

CALCIUM
Calcium is extremely important as well as essential to both the mother and child in pregnancy. Calcium and magnesium help protect the mother’s bones during this time when the demands of both her body as well as the baby’s body for these nutrients must be met. A good prenatal vitamin will contain calcium, but the mother must also eat a well well-balanced diet to acquire calcium as well. Not all prenatal vitamins are of comparable quality of course. They all tend to have all of the basic nutrients in them that are necessary at such a crucial time for a woman’s body. However, the best prenatal will provide what mother and child needs, at just the right amounts, as well as avoiding amounts that tend to toxicity.

Garlic is so potent that it was found in one trial that concentrations of 1.5 milligrams of garlic per milliliter of extract would begin killing cells. Just one –tenth of this dose was toxic to the influenza virus, and just one-hundredth of that dose killed the herpes simplex virus. The component, allicin, found in garlic will kill bacteria at concentrations as low as one part allicin in 125,000 parts water. This is the equivalent of one drop of allicin in about seventeen gallons of water….Read Entire Story HERE.

Cayenne Pepper! It calls forth images of heat; and rightly so for it is indeed hot-very hot, and depending on the grade that you get it can be very, very hot! However, very few people consider cayenne pepper as a medicine. The great herbalist, Jethro Kloss in his classic work, Back To Eden, wrote: ” Red Pepper is one of the most wonderful herb medicines we have .We can do many things with it that we are not able to do with any other known herb.” Read more HERE

The herpes virus is one of the most wide-spread among us, and many people suffer from the symptoms of the virus. The viral infection can range from no symptoms to major inflammation of the liver, accompanied by fever. Read entire article HERE

Popular Health researcher and writer, Mike Adams wrote, “Today comedian Bernie Mac (best known for appearing in Oceans Eleven and The Bernie Mac Show) died today following hospitalization and treatment for pneumonia. At the young age of 50, Bernie Mac joins numerous other notable celebrities who have died while being treated with conventional pharmaceuticals or chemotherapy: Heath Ledger, Peter Jennings, Tim Russert and many more.
“Pneumonia is an infection that fails to be properly handled by the body’s own immune system. Bernie Mac’s immune system, it turns out, was suppressed by pharmaceuticals due to treatments for an autoimmune disorder he was previously diagnosed with, called sarcoidosis.” He writes further “So what should Bernie Mac have done instead? It’s simple: Visit a naturopath, get off all the chemicals and medications, eliminate all the junk from his diet (processed foods, etc.) and transition to a mostly plant-based diet rich in superfoods and living foods. His lung condition would have disappeared and his immune system would have been strong enough to withstand infections.”

PNEUMONIA: “Pneumonia is a serious infection of the lungs and bronchial tubes. It can be caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi, or protozoa.”

REVELANT FACTS: Those under 1 year or over 60 years are more susceptible.

Bacterial pneumonia is more dangerous and severe than the viral type.

Those with HIV are more susceptible to contracting fungal pneumonia.

About 40,000 older Americans die yearly in the U.S. from pneumonia.

Pneumonia is the fifth largest cause of death in the U.S.

Most pneumonia deaths come from 2 sources: influenza which may progress to pneumonia, especially in the elderly, and hospital-acquired infections in those that are ill from other causes but develop pneumonia because their weakened immune systems can’t fight it off. According to Consumer’s Report on Health an estimated 4% of all patients develop the infection as a direct result of their hospital stay.

OVERVIEW OF NATURAL REMEDIES:

DIET: Start off by going on a liquid diet for the first few days…fruit juices diluted pineapple juice, or orange juice, lemon water without sugar…until the fever breaks, then strained vegetable broths, dry whole grains, fresh carrot juice; must be given copious amounts of fluid…especially water.

Cleansing: Rinse out the nose with saltwater, gently taking it in and blowing it out; also gargle with saltwater. Mix golden seal with myrrh in distilled water and repeat the cleansing of the nostrils and the throat by gargling…hereby seeking to prevent cold or flu from going down into the lungs.

Steam Baths: These will bring the poisons out of the body wonderfully. There are various types of steam baths, and these are all very valuable, very invigorating and health giving.

Footbath/Enemas: Give hot footbaths and a high herb enema daily (Lobelia: Add lobelia to a catnip enema.)

Garlic Syrup: Where there is spasm, give 1 teaspoonful of the syrup with or without water every 15 minutes until the spasm is controlled, then give 1 teaspoonful every 2-3 hours for the rest of the day; thereafter give 1 teaspoonful of the syrup 3-4 times daily.

Garlic/Echinacea- Take 6-10 cloves of Garlic per day with tincture of Echinacea….with good overall diet has been shown to cure pneumonia in 2 weeks.

“Henry Box Pneumonia Cure: The great herbalist, Henry Box of Plymouth, England, says: For colds, influenza, fevers, inflammation of the brain, pneumonia (inflammation of the lungs), stomach, bowels or any part, this is a certain cure. I have never known it to fail, even when given up, and at the point of death. It will not only save at the eleventh hour, but at the last minute of that hour. Besides, it is so safe and harmless that you cannot use it amiss. This wonderful, wise old man had been a physician of herbs for over sixty years and was known as one of the great doctors of all times.

    The infusion for the tea is made as follows:

     2 ounces elder flowers

     2 ounces peppermint leaves (crushed)

     1 1/2 pints boiling distilled water

Pour boiling water over herbs, cover and allow to steep (not boil) in a hot place 20 minutes. Strain and sweeten with honey, then drink the whole amount of tea as hot as possible while closely covered in bed. Cover a hot water bottle with a cloth or towel dipped in apple cider vinegar and place on the feet. In a few minutes there will be copious perspiration, and the pulse will slow down and the patient will sleep peacefully for hours…When taken alone, elder flowers are inclined to be emetic, and somewhat nauseous to some people. This effect can be prevented by combining them with peppermint (Mentha piperita). Peppermint is stimulant, nervine, calmative, and antiemetic, which offsets the undesirable effects of the elder flower. This combination is world-famous as a great fever and cold remedy.”

Other Valuable Herbs Include: Dandelion, Astragalus, and Fenugreek.

Sinus Infection: Sinus Infection Overview: Sinus infection, or sinusitis, is an inflammation of the sinuses and nasal passages. A sinus infection can cause a headache or pressure in the eyes, nose, cheek area, or on one side of the head. A person with a sinus infection may also have a cough, a fever, bad breath, and nasal congestion with thick nasal secretions. Sinusitis is categorized as acute (sudden onset) or chronic (long term, the most common type).

Symptoms: One or more of the following will exist; facial pain and tenderness on the cheekbones, face and forehead. Earache, headache, dry cough, bad breath, fever, etc., sometimes it can result in a swollen face, stuffy nose, and thick mucous discharge. Other symptoms include pressure in the interior passageways of the skull behind the nose, forehead, and cheeks, you may also have throbbing pain or a sinus headache.

REMEDIES:

Underlying Causes

Eliminate all dairy products. Many people can directly associate an acute “attack” a day or two after eating ice cream, or drinking milk. An acid system can lead to sinus problems…it will always be necessary to cleanse your bowels.

Acute Phase Remedies

Bring equal amounts of Apple Cider Vinegar and water to boil, and then inhale the fumes as it starts to boil, (place a towel over your head to govern the fumes) do this for about 5 minutes. This brings quick relief. Do this twice per day for 2-3 days, will cure a sinus infection in most cases.

Tomato Tea

Add 4 cups tomato juice, 4 crushed garlic cloves, 1 tsp of cayenne pepper at least 45,000-90,000 H.U., 4 tsp. fresh lemon juice, and a pinch or two of pure sea salt for flavor. Heat ingredients and drink hot.

Horseradish

Start with 1/4 teaspoon of the freshly grated root of horseradish and hold it in your mouth until all the taste is gone. It will immediately start cutting the mucus loose from the sinuses to drain down the throat. This will relieve the pressure in your sinuses and help clear infection. Horseradish has been shown in laboratory tests to be antibiotic, active against a variety of bacteria, so this can benefit a sinus infection.

In combination with either remedy take 500 milligrams of vitamin C every 2 hours until infection disappears.

Najib T. Ayas of the University of British Columbia commenting on the effects of the lack of sleep says, “We’re really only now starting to understand how that is affecting health, and it appears to be significant.”

Sleep: Sleep falls under the health law of “rest” and “taking” the correct amount or “dosage” of regular sleep is like taking your medicine, only its natural medicine designed by the Creator to benefit the body. It follows that sleep deprivation would amount to not taking your “medication” which would be a violation of the Creator’s law and would therefore have negative or unintended consequences.

Consequences of Sleep Deprivation:

Negatively Affects the Brain: A study using real-time, state-of-the-art imaging conducted by Dr. J. Christian Gillin, MD and his team at the University of California, San Diego, and the San Diego VA Medical Center discovered that a sleepy person’s brain works but — accomplishes less. ““Sleep deprivation is bad for your brain when you are trying to do high-level [thinking] tasks,” says Dr. J. Christian Gillin, MD; “It may have serious consequences both on performance and on the way your brain functions.”

Could Affect Obesity: One large study found after “analysis of a nationally representative sample of nearly 10,000 adults… that those between the ages of 32 and 49 who sleep less than seven hours a night are significantly more likely to be obese.” The reasoning is that sleep deprivation possibly caused disruption of hormones that regulate appetite.

Colon Cancer, Breast Cancer, Heart Disease and Diabetes: “Several reports from the Harvard-run Nurses’ Health Study that has linked insufficient or irregular sleep to increased risk for colon cancer, breast cancer, heart disease and diabetes. Other research groups scattered around the country have subsequently found clues that might explain the associations, indications that sleep disruption affects crucial hormones and proteins that play roles in these diseases.”

“Physiologic studies suggest that a sleep deficit may put the body into a state of high alert, increasing the production of stress hormones and driving up blood pressure, a major risk factor for heart attacks and strokes…, people who are sleep-deprived have elevated levels of substances in the blood that indicate a heightened state of inflammation in the body, which has also recently emerged as a major risk factor for heart disease, stroke, cancer and diabetes.”

“After several studies found that people who work at night appear unusually prone to breast and colon cancer, researchers investigating the possible explanation for this association found exposure to light at night reduces levels of the hormone melatonin. Melatonin is believed to protect against cancer by affecting levels of other hormones, such as estrogen.

‘Melatonin can prevent tumor cells from growing — it’s cancer-protective,” said Eva S. Schernhammer of Harvard Medical School, who has conducted a series of studies on volunteers in sleep laboratories. “The theory is, if you are exposed to light at night, on average you will produce less melatonin, increasing your cancer risk.”‘

“Other researchers are exploring a possible link to other malignancies, including prostate cancer. ‘There’s absolutely no reason it should be limited to breast cancer, and it wouldn’t necessarily be restricted to people who work night shifts. People with disrupted sleep or people who are up late at night or get up frequently in the night could potentially have the same sort of effect,” said Scott Davis of the University of Washington.”‘

“Based on our findings, we believe that if you lose sleep that your body needs, then you produce these inflammatory markers that on a chronic basis can create low-grade inflammation and predispose you to cardiovascular events and a shorter life span,” said Alexandros N. Vgontzas of Pennsylvania State University,…”

DEATH : “The strongest evidence out there right now is for the risk of overall mortality, but we also see the association for a number of specific causes,” said Sanjay R. Patel of Harvard Medical School, who led one of the studies, involving more than 82,000 nurses, that found an increased risk of death among those who slept less than six hours a night. “Now we’re starting to get insights into what’s happening in the body when you don’t get enough sleep.”‘

“Lack of sleep disrupts every physiologic function in the body,” said Eve Van Cauter of the University of Chicago. “We have nothing in our biology that allows us to adapt to this behavior.”‘ “We have in our society this idea that you can just get by without sleep or manipulate when you sleep without any consequences,” said Lawrence Epstein, president of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine. “What we’re finding is that’s just not true.”‘

“It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so he giveth his beloved sleep.” Psalms 127:2

CHECKING FOR SIGNS OF ADRENAL DEPLETION

Adrenaline, Cortisol, DHEA, and norepinephrine are the body’s four major stress hormones. Cortisol is also involved in the metabolism of carbohydrates and the regulation of blood sugar. Reduced adrenal function may be indicated by: weakness, lethargy, dizziness, headaches, memory problems, food cravings, allergies, and blood sugar disorders. Adrenal glands are affected most often by cortisone. Adrenal failure can also be caused by poor nutritional habits (especially caffeine intake), alcohol and drug abuse (including nicotine), and excessive long term distress.

Adrenal Gland Function Self-Test

Normally systolic blood pressure is approximately 10 points higher when you are standing than when you are lying down. If your adrenal glands are not functioning properly, this might not be the case. TEST: Take and compare two separate blood pressure readings- one while lying down, the other while standing.

1. Lay down and rest for five minutes.
   
2. Take your blood pressure.
   
3. Stand up and immediately take your blood pressure again.
   
4. If your blood pressure is lower after you stand up, suspect reduced adrenal function. The degree to which the blood pressure drops upon standing is often proportionate to the degree of hypoadrenalism.

Impotence- defined as the inability of a man to achieve or maintain an erection for normal sexual intimacy. Prescription For Nutritional Healing pg 456.

Frequency- It is estimated that about 30 million American men suffer from ED. 1) Most with this problem are 40 or over, 2) 1 in 3 men over 60 is affected 3) those under 40 may also be affected. Study shows that impotence has a considerable impact on men, “with most more deeply shocked than generally realized, their masculinity and self-esteem being particularly affected,” when viagra didn’t work on the first try, some went into depression.
British Medical Journal cited at WebMD MedicalNews www.webmd.com

What Causes Male Sexual Dysfunction?- Erections result from a very complex combination of brain stimuli, blood vessel, nerve function, and hormonal actions. “Erection involves the central nervous system, peripheral nervous system, psychological and stress-related factors, local problems with the erection bodies or penis itself as well as hormonal and vascular (blood flow or circulation) factors. The penile portion of the process leading to erections represents only a single component of a very complicated and complex process.” www.emedicinehealth.com Prescription For Nutritional Healing pg 456.

Current medical research indicates that in approximately 80% of men the problem is due to physical causes. These include:

• Diabetes
  
• Side effects from medication, particularly blood pressure and antidepressant medications
  
• Atherosclerosis
  
• Hypertension
  
• Hormonal disorders
  
• Alcohol
  
• Recreational drugs
  
• Neurological illness or injury
  
• Metabolic diseases
  
• Kidney diseases
  
• Structural genital problems
  
• Abdominal, pelvic or genital surgery
  
• Smoking

Psychological Causes:

• Performance anxiety
  
• Fear of intimacy
  
• Stress
  
• Marital problems
  
• Anxiety
  
• Depression
  

Anything that interferes with the complex factors involved can lead to impotence. i.e. arteriosclerosis, peripheral vascular disease, chronic high blood pressure, smoking, alcohol, a history of sexually transmitted diseases, and certain medications(over 200 drugs may cause impotence).

Diabetes/ED

Impotence is extremely common in men with diabetes. It is estimated that 50% of men with diabetes are impotent, and the other 50% will become impotent over time.

Heart Disease/ED

“Because heart disease and ED have a common cause — damage to blood vessels — it’s been thought that erection problems may be an important symptom of heart disease and related disorders. They also share similar risk factors such as obesity, smoking, diabetes, inactivity, high blood pressure, and cholesterol abnormalities,…” www.webmd.com

NATURAL REMEDIES

Herbs-

Yohimbe Bark- is believed to expand the blood vessels in the Penis and increase blood flow. It is also believed to increase nitrous oxide (NO) which is important for producing an erection; Caution: Do not take this herb if you have high blood pressure. The FDA has approved a prescription drug based on Yohimbe called Yohimbine sold under the
brand names Dayto, Yocan, and Yohimex). Their effectiveness is questioned.

Damiana- Good for increasing blood flow to the genital area.

Sarsaparilla- Contains a testosterone like substance for men.
