Anxiety and Depression - Natural Antidepressants for Mood Boosting

Danna Schneider

Millions of people, especially in the United States, are
currently suffering the symptoms of depression, and have even
gone as far as taking prescription antidepressants that may have
harmful side effects and dampen the quality of their life in
other ways in the hopes it will just go away.



The fact is, many prescription antidepressant drugs do have
undesirable side effects that really can affect other areas of
your life, but they are looked at by many as "the lesser of two
evils". It's better to not be depressed and anxious, even if you
do suffer side effects such as headache, nausea, and decreased
sexual function, right?



Wrong! There is a better way to manage stress, anxiety and
depression - naturally and without man-made drugs or narcotics.
This natural antidepressant remedy actually contains several
pure botanicals, natural compounds and herbs that work in unison
to balance mood, elevate our natural "antidepressant" chemicals
in the brain, maintain even blood sugar levels (which believe it
or not, has actually produced weight loss and belly fat loss in
many who have taken it), and promote an overall sense of well
being and peace.



This product is an excellent remedy for calming anxiety and
depression. There are also lifestyle tips that will help you
fight depression, anxiety and stress. Number one on that list is
- you guessed it - moderate exercise. Now I don't mean you have
to do aerobics until you drop, but a nice, steady flow of
cardiovascular exercise like walking, jogging, biking, or
another form of low impact exercise is an excellent way to
manage these symptoms, while also promoting a healthy blood
pressure level, a healthy heart, and bodily strength and
endurance.



Yoga, forms of slow dance, tai chi, and other meditation-type
exercise is also an excellent way to manage stress, anxiety and
depression. These types of meditative exercises promote healthy
bodily functions, a healthy state of mind, and mental focus,
which are key factors in supporting a healthy sense of well
being and peace.



If you have a desk job, make it a point to get up and walk
around once every hour. Inactivity is one of the biggest
perpetuators of depression and anxiety. The human body was
designed to be in frequent motion, not to sit all day. So go,
get a drink of water, walk some stairs, or take a little walk
outside whenever you get the opportunity. You'll be amazed by
what physical activity will do for your mental state.



Lastly, take some time for yourself. Every night, take a little
time out of your schedule for yourself. Whether it is reading a
book, writing in a diary or journal, taking a walk outside, or
doing anything else you enjoy, just do it. Getting a little dose
of genuine joy or peace in your day is key to being a happy and
well-balanced person.



With these few lifestyle guidelines in mind, don't let
depression and anxiety destroy your quality of life. Everyone
deserves to live a happy, fulfilled life without the need for
prescription anti-anxiety and antidepressant drugs. If you need
help, but do not want the common side effects of depression
medication, I highly encourage you to take a look at this
effective new product.

ANOTHER COLD SORE! WHY ME?

Dan Adams

An estimated 85 million Americans have acquired the herpes simplex (COLD SORE) virus. And the majority had received the virus before the age of three.

Not such a big surprise when you realize how many loving Uncles, Aunts and nephew just can't resist that cute little Kissy Kissy baby. Which is exactly how the Herpes Simplex virus is passed along. That innocent little hug and kiss is all it takes to inject a lifetime of the Herpes Simplex virus.

Generally a cold sore will run from 5 to 15 days in its various stages. They will range from a tiny split to an enormous sized seeping scab.

If the virus has gained strong immunities against your antibodies then you will be prone to repeated outbreaks.

Unlike the sexually transmitted Herpes virus there is little to worry about with the Herpes Simplex virus other than an occasional lip sore that can grow to the size of a watermelon
and cause every living being to stare at you like you have a 12 inch nose growing out the side of your face.

So the first question to pop into your mind might be, "is there a cure"? No. The herpes simplex virus is very
versatile and can adapt to just about anything you can throw at it. It will adapt and become stronger with each form of treatment.

Which brings us to question two. "Is there any particular remedy that has proven to stop or control cold sore outbreaks". Accepting the fact that what was just said in the proceeding
paragraph the answer would be yes and no.

Because most immune changes of the virus are minor it leaves it open to possible treatments by various antibiotics and many natural remedies which can temporarily halt an outbreak. However, again the virus will quickly adapt to many of these treatments making them useless on the next outbreak.

So, yes some treatments will work on most outbreaks but there will definitely be a stage of herpes simplex virus immune syndrome that will eventually make most all present
day treatments ineffective. Simply meaning the more you try to treat the outbreaks with various medications the
sooner you will reach the stage where no treatment will help.

You must also keep in mind that your present overall health conditions and other variables may temporarily slow or stop a remedy from working. So it may not always be the virus but your present health condition that blocks any remedy from working what is your solution for cold sore outbreaks?
If you have the simple small split type sore just let it run the course. Your body will develop antibodies to overpower the virus outbreak which will help keep new outbreaks from happening so repeatedly.

However if you have the major Mt Saint Helen's size outbreak then you can try the various medications and treatments in hopes that you will hit the right one.

A rule of thumb would be not to use remedies that you have recently used in the past simply because of the likelihood that the virus has already become immune to it.

GIN-CHIA

Bill Lewis, Vice President of Operations

Gin-Chia: Nature's Energy Booster!

Centuries ago, the great American Indian civilizations had their own form of the Pony Express. However, instead of men riding horses at full gallop for 20 miles and then changing steeds, the Indians ran the distance themselves and then passed their package to another man. Each of the runners carried a small pouch containing a provision that they ate on the run to give them the energy and stamina necessary to run their distance.

They often called it "running food" because of its ability to increase endurance. It contains neither caffeine nor any other artificial stimulant; on the contrary, it's 100% natural and proven to be one of the richest plant sources of protein.

Chia

This substance is none other than Chia Salvia Columbariae, or "Chia seed". Chia is a member of the mint family and grows naturally from the Mojave Desert all the way down into Argentina.
For centuries, Chia was of great economic importance to Native Americans of the Southwest and California coast. It was a major food crop of the Aztecs. The roasted seeds were mixed with water and eaten as gruel or ground into flour, called pinole, for baking. Indians also placed the seeds in water to make poultices and beverages.
One tablespoon of Chia seeds mixed in water was reputed to be sufficient nutrition to sustain a man on a forced march for 24 hours. An infusion of the seeds was valued by Spanish Missionaries as a fever remedy and as a poultice for gunshot wounds.
Today, long distance hikers eat Chia seeds to provide energy.

According to a study conducted by the University of Arizona in 2001, Chia possesses the highest percentage of the polyunsaturated fatty acids, a-linolenic and linoleic (i.e. 83.2%), of all crops. It is a great source of Omega-3 fatty acids, natural antioxidants and dietetic fiber. This same study also showed that the protein content of Chia is higher than other nutritional grains. Compare Chia's 19-23% protein to wheat (14%), corn (14%), rice (8.5%), oats (15.3%), and barley (9.2%). And, unlike these other grains, it is a complete protein, meaning that it has the appropriate balance of all essential amino
acids. Chia seed is also a good source of B vitamins, calcium, phosphorus, potassium,
zinc, and copper.

Ginseng

"Ginseng" is said to mean 'the wonder of the world.' The roots are called by the natives of China, Jin-chen, meaning 'like a man,' in reference to their resemblance to the human form. The American Indian name for the plant, garantoquen, has the same meaning. It is held in such esteem by the natives of China, that it is included as a necessity in all their best herbal combinations. The prepared root is chewed to increase vitality and to remove both mental and bodily fatigue.

Gin-Chia

Forever Living Products has combined the best of the East with the best of the West to produce a unique, energy-boosting, staminasustaining tablet, Gin-Chia.
Imagine the nutritional benefits of consuming this delicious combination of Chia Seed and Ginseng Root!
Why not try replacing those caffeine-containing soft drinks with a few Gin-Chia tablets and feel what its like to receive a "natural" boost to your energy level? You'll be glad you
did!

Garlic- Nature's Anti-fungal

Jonathan N. Group, R.D., D.C

Garlic: A Natural Solution to Toenail Fungus



The benefits of garlic as a natural health remedy, once considered to be mere folklore, have been proven by the scientific community in recent years. >From lowering cholesterol to preventing cancer and boosting the immune system, this wonder food continues to show its promise in the field of health and wellness because of the over 100 biologically useful chemicals it contains. By encouraging white blood cells to fight infections and promoting other immune cells to combat bacterial and viral infections and scavenge for cancer cells it supports immune system vitality. Garlic is also a powerful antimicrobial, meaning that it eliminates or slows the growth of harmful microbes. One of these potentially harmful microbes is fungus such as tinea pedis.



One in every five people will be infected with fungus in their life. Fungi are molds and yeasts that can live in the top layer of the skin and toenails. This fungal infection can become quite unsightly and painful. Fungal growth at the toenail begins as a light colored spot under the tip of the nail in addition to a loss of the nail's natural luster. As the fungus grows, it will continue to spread until the entire toenail becomes thick and yellow with crumbling edges. If no treatment is given to destroy the fungus, the condition will worsen and eventually the toenail will have a distorted shape, the color may become green, brown, or black, and a foul odor may be present.



There are many treatments available to eradicate the fungus that causes this unpleasant condition. Interestingly, one of the most effective cures for this condition also happens to be one of the least expensive. And you probably have it in your kitchen already. Garlic has been shown over the years to be a great way to fight even the most persistent cases of toenail fungus.



Treating toenail fungus with garlic is easy and painless. There are several methods that work well and depending on the severity of your fungal infection, you may wish to try one or more of them. Its ability to eliminate the fungus makes it a natural choice and one that is easy to attain and use. In the beginning stages of the infection it is useful to place several chopped cloves in the toes of your socks at night. Or, for a more targeted approach, simply crush some fresh cloves and place them in contact with the affected area for 30 minutes. The skin should be washed before and after both of these applications. Garlic powder can also be used to combat toenail fungus. A light dusting of it is an easy way to get a healthy dose of this powerful natural remedy.



Using garlic is a highly effective, not to mention inexpensive, way to fight even the most persistent cases of toenail fungus. Another product that makes garlic treatment easy is known as garlic oil ointment. You may be able to find this effective formula in health food stores, where it would be sold chilled. If not, it is simple to make and can be stored in your refrigerator for up to one month. It is made by combining one tablespoon of fresh chopped garlic cloves, three tablespoons of coconut oil and one tablespoon of olive oil.



The only downside to using this home remedy for toenail fungus is that it may stain the nail a yellow color which makes the nail look unpleasant. This will go away with time, however it is hard to monitor the progress of new clear nail growing out when the solution will also stain the healthy nail yellow.



When using garlic or any other treatment for your toenail fungus, the success of the treatment depends entirely on your willingness to faithfully treat the toenail every day and to continue your chosen course of therapy for a considerable amount of time. It is best to treat toenail fungus or nail fungus from the inside out. Taking fresh garlic cloves, garlic pills or a super concentrated spagyric formula is most effective. Unfortunately, because the cure for toenail fungus can take six months or more, many people choose to live with it rather than take measures to combat it. The treatment of toenail fungus is lengthy due to the fact that the treatment must continue even after the fungus has died and the toenail begins to clear. The fungus is not completely cured until the infected portion of the toenail has completely grown out. Treatment internally and externally should then continue for at least 3-4 weeks to make sure it does not come back.



Once the fungus has been taken care of and the toenail is completely healthy, it is vital to take steps to ensure that the fungus does not return. Keeping toenails clean and trim is important because fungus can make a home under the toenail. Wear socks that allow the feet to breathe, such as those made from natural fibers such as cotton. If you have exceptionally sweaty feet, give them ample time to dry out during the day, if possible. When doing any type of treatment for toenail fungus or athlete's foot make sure to throw away old infected socks as washing may not kill the fungus.
