A Holistic Approach to Depression
- Article
Depression isn't bad. In fact, it serves a useful purpose in our life when we understand what it depression is really trying to tell us. Like any other condition, it goes away when we deal with its underlying causes, which include liver problems, constipation, chemical toxicity, suppressed anger and a loss of personal boundaries. Here are some holistic ways of dealing with depression by removing its root causes.
Back to School Shouldn't Mean Back to Ritalin
- Article
The use of medications to keep children in line in school has become extremely widespread. Often these medications are used to try to resolve normal behavior problems in children that can easily be solved by other means. Good nutrition, exercise and better parenting techniques can all be helpful in these situations. Even with true ADHD, there are natural strategies that can resolve the problem without drugs.
How to Help People Stay Regular Without Laxatives
- Article
Contrary to what I was taught many years ago, one can get habituated to stimulant laxatives like cascara sagrada and senna. Traditional herbalists always regarded these herbs as remedies for occasional, not daily use. I've met many people who can't go to "go" without using these substances, and I don't regard this as healthy. The goal of herbal medicine should be to restore the body to normal function, not make it dependent on a remedy for daily use. This article explores strategies for restoring normal bowel function without using stimulant laxatives and includes a detailed explanation of a new formula I helped to create called Gentle Move.
The Low Down on Liver Detoxification
- Article
The liver is the primary organ responsible for breaking down toxins that get into our body and turning them into water soluble compounds that can be eliminated from the body. Problems with liver detoxification can cause environmental illness and the "healing crisis" talked about in natural medicine. In this article, I explain the basic process of liver detoxification and how supplements can improve liver detoxification.
My "Cure" for the Common Cold (and Flu)
- Article
In the article, "The Cold is the Cure", found on this website, I make the point that you can't cure a cold (or any other disease for that matter) because only the body can cure it. But since I've indicated that we can support the body in overcoming illness, I guess this article should really be titled, "How to Help Your Body Cure the Common Cold." Whatever we call it, I've used the techniques in this article to get rid of colds and flu in as little as two to three hours. They almost always result in dramatic improvement (if not a complete cure) within 24 hours.
