Herbal Medicine

Because some people are ignorant & will slag off things they don’t understand or have no knowledge of – in this respect, they follow what others say like sheep! They read the "research" which is usually funded by drug companies who of course want to disprove anything that might affect their income! This research isn’t worth the paper it’s written on. Maybe come & ask any of my patients – many who have turned to alternative therapies as a last resort – and they will tell you how wonderful they can be.
Thankfully, there are the enlightened ones who are willing to try things before slagging them off. Then they find that there is help without side effects available because it works for them – as they are individuals with an individual response to their ills – therefore needing an individual treatment. Anyone who had read my replies to similar questions will know that I’m passionate about homoeopathy. I see first hand, fantastic cures EVERY day in my work – often of people who have been left high & dry by the conventional lot as being incurable or only being offered treatments that make them worst. I have seen both sides of the fence having worked in the NHS for over 20 years but my work in alternative therapies over the last 15 years have been truely rewarding & inspirational. I’m not an unintelligent person – I hold 2 first class honours degrees, so I feel I have enough experience to make the comments I make.

Herbal medication, or any other kind of medication will not cure high blood pressure. Whatever you try medicine wise, will either start working the same day you take it, or will never work(I don’t mean fish oil). Try something, keep checking your blood pressure.

Here is a list to try. Some are expensive. They are not really classified as herbs. Your insurance in most cases wont cover them.

Coenzyme Q10
Garlic – its a blood thinner
Hawthorn – this one is an herb
Fish oil – I would put my money on this one, I think flaxx seed oil is better.
Folic acid

Your blood pressure may be caused by strees or anxiety(no I don’t know you). If that is the case, then that that will take a completely different approach.

Exercise at least one hour a day, 5 days a week. Someone here said not to ask a doctor any of these things. So if you are having chest pains and troulbe breathing, give that person a call.

Don’t take a lot potasium to lower your blood pressure, eat less salt instead. With potassium you are trying to balance your salt.

"Conditions that can result from high levels of potassium include weakness, weak or slow pulse rate, irregular heartbeat, nausea, difficulty breathing and paralysis. Other complications include arrhythmias, problems with neuromuscular control or cardiac arrest. "

Dont take to much magnesium. People with high blood pressure often have kidney problems. It will build up in your blood in that case.

Caffeine only raises blood pressure temporaily. It is a diuretic(like a water pill), so it can lower and raise your blood pressure.

If none of these things are working for you, post a question in the un-alternative medicine section.

I am 44 years old lady.

Best if you seek a Ayurvedic practitioner or a medical herbalist since you don’t have any conditions as they’re not stated. If you want to improve health, than the 5 best things you can do is:

1) Eat lots of vegetables
2) Lots of laughter
3) Eat plenty of fish
4) Love someone
5) have plenty of sex!

My father was diagnosed almost 3 years ago with throat cancer. He has been through two rounds of chemo and radiation and a neck dissection to remove a tumor. The cancer is back more aggressively than ever before and he is now under home hospice care. His prognosis is grim and doesn’t have much time. My question is concerning other forms of pain control. They have him on so many pills and they don’t seem to work very well……is there anything someone else has tried of an alternative method for attempting to control accute pain?

I am sorry to hear about your father. In the last stages of cancer nothing works as a pain reliever, not even Morphine which aggravates the pain. There is only the Homeopathic remedy ARSENICUM ALBUM which can help ease his pain if given in CM potency just one dose. I would suggest you this remedy if the doctors think his conditions cannot be bettered, this will make him spend whatever time is left in ease and will be pain free. This is a tried and tested medicine and perhaps the only medicine to ease pain in the last stages of Cancer.
I will pray for your father.
Take Care and God Bless you !

Yes, I could Google it, but every website (of course) is going to say that their product works. I’m very interested in personal experiences. Also, if there is a safe herbal remedy, can you recommend any brands? From what I know, there are companies who sell herbal supplements that aren’t very good…

My thanks in advance for your answers
(((Solly!)))

I had to conquer my anxiety and depression by changing the way that I think, and with exercise. I met a therapist who offered me an alternative. What he said to me made so much more sense than swallowing a happy pill to get thru the ordeal of going to the grocery store. I will try not to sound like an idiot here… LOL He said that we train our brains (by worrying, etc.) to think a certain way, to fear. Over time, that changes our brain chemistry. When we practice changing our thought process, then "over time" we can undo the damage that has been done, creating the chemicals we need to live and think "normally." It made sense, and it worked. Au naturale, no herbs (cannabis just made me paranoid then, lol) and no drugs. Just coping skills.

Oh, it helped that I got a divorce from a poison person, too.

Herbal extracts include burdock root and wild pansy

there doesn’t appear to be an interaction between them.
If you want to double check and have the full list of ingredients in your herbal remedy look on the link.
Scroll down and look for interactions.

I am really interested in natural, herbal remedies and herbal healing. Can you suggest any good websites where I can start to learn about it?

Here are a few that i know of :-

THE DRUG REGISTRATION NUMBER IS 04-8703L,ITS A DRUG THAT STOPS CELL-CELL TRANSMISSION OF VIRUS WHILE IT KILLS IT.THETHERAPY HAS RECEIVED NO FORM OF AID OR HELP FROM ANY HEALTH ORGANISATION DESPITE THE ALARM OF PEOPLE DEING EVERY DAY FROM THE VIRUS,DOUBTS ARE STILL BEEN POSSED ON HERBAL THERAPY BECAUSE IT IS A MULTIPLE COMPONENT EXTRACT THAT IS VERY EXPENSIVE TO DEVELOP YET GOVERNMENTS SPEND BILLIONS OF DOLLARS ON HIV/AIDS CHAMPAIGNS AND AWARENESS PROGRAMMES WORLDWIDE.
POTENTIAL TREATMENTS FOR HIV/AIDS COULD PASS US BYE IF WE DO NOT LOOK INTO IT.THIS DRUG IS ONE OF THE PEREQUISITES FOR COMBACTING HIV/AIDS IF AT ALL THERE ARE OTHER KNOWN ELEMENTS THAT COULD BE ADDED TO IT TO INCREASE ITS ACTIVITIES IN RETRO.

I’ll tell you why. HIV uses a CD4 receptor to attach to the T cells that it infects. The CD4+ T cells are an important part of our immune system. It just so happen that the CD4 receptor on the surface of T cells is used from communication between cells so by blocking CD4 you not only prevent HIV from entering the cell, but you stop immune cells from communicating, which would kill you quicker than HIV/AIDS.
Idiot.

I mean the physical therapy department at the hospital uses therapeutic ultrasound and electrical stimulation regularly and they are not called alternative medicine but there is not proff documented that they really work. So what makes them not alternative medicine if they are not scientifically proven?

…I question why we use it at all. You are correct…not only are they not proven, but for the most part they’ve been UNproven. PTs that are on the cutting edge of evidence based practice realize this.

…there is a good body of evidence for exercise, mechanical classification, directional preference exercise etc. These are the things on which we need to continue to focus.

Its things like ultrasound, electrical stim, massage, myofascial release, craniosacral therapy, strain counterstrain, and kinesiotaping which are giving the profession a bad name. I suggest that insurance companies stop paying for them until it’s proven otherwise.

…I agree with you 100%

…but let’s call them what they really are: The placebo effect

I am almost positive that I have strep throat. I do not like to take antibiotics unless they are absolutely necessary.
Will herbal remedies like colloidal silver or olive leaf extract get rid of this stuff?

well as they said, strep throat is nothing to mess with..if using olive leaf extract be sure to use a good organic tincture like herbpharm

I have read that gargling and drinking and sipping raw apple cider vinegar in water (I add seas salt) will cure a strep throat but you gargling, sip and swallow all day long with coffee or tea you are sipping on all day

But up to you if you want to try it..I am just passing on what I read..I did use it once for what I thought was a strep throat with good results but was not absolutely diagnosed with strep throat (but I think others had it around me)

If it was me and I was dead set against antibiotics or could not afford them, I would use the vinegar, lots of raw garlic, organic olive leaf extract 60 drops maybe 7 times day or even more, grapefruit seed extract and colloidal silver.

I would also take Dr Richard shulze’s supertonic found on the our products page (scroll down at the bottom) at herbdoc.com or make it yourself.

I will go get the directions and be back soon..easy to make
