Is Colic (Spasms of the Bowel) Necessary?

Russian mother has success

“Recently we became happy parents.

“When I was getting ready to become a mother, I studied a lot of material but did not conceive what it means “colic” on babies. Nobody could tell me exactly why it happened and how I could handle them. When I found that my baby had colic I did not know what to do. I started to use different ways, including giving her special medicines, magnesium, bacteria, but she got worse.

What Have Sunburn, Canker Sores & Herpes Breakouts Got in Common?

The answer is a deficiency of tissue calcium. Here’s how it works.

There is some relatively unknown data about sunburn that I’d like to share with you in the hope that it will help if you or anyone you know who gets a tad too much of it – the sun, I mean.

The ultraviolet rays from the sun convert skin oil to vitamin D. Too much of it is referred to as hypervitaminosis D. What happens is that vitamin D’s opposing partner, vitamin F (another name for polyunsaturated fatty acids or essential fatty acids), is low in comparison to the amount of vitamin D.

Vitamin D’s job is to get calcium from your stomach and pull it into your blood stream and vitamin F’s job is to take it from your blood stream into your tissues. If you’re low on vitamin F, not only will the vitamin D pull calcium from your stomach, but it will also pull the calcium from your tissues back into your blood stream. It’s the F that gets it into and keeps it in the tissues!

So, should you get too much vitamin D and be deficient in F, your blood calcium level will increase while the tissue calcium levels will decrease. That is the reason that people who are in the sun a lot get thick skin. They don’t get enough vitamin F, which creates calcium deficiencies in their tissues. Hives – those big welts you get around the tender parts of your body from being in the sun too much – are a sign of tissue calcium deficiency.

Sunstroke is also a sign of low tissue calcium levels. Sunstroke is due to high blood calcium levels with low tissue calcium levels.

Excess vitamin D from extreme exposure to the sun is known to cause cancer. You may have read articles that recommend you stay out of the sun and that sunshine is hazardous to your health. Well, it’s only dangerous to people who are vitamin F deficient. Vitamin D is essential to good health and the sun is a great way to get it as long as you ensure you have enough vitamin F to balance it up.

Symptoms of low vitamin F levels include itching of the skin, the canker sores some people get inside their mouths or herpes breakouts in the genital area.

So, any time you have an itchy skin, get canker sores in your mouth or breakouts below the belt, hives or sunburn, you need vitamin F and calcium. Make sure your children have enough so they don’t suffer from their time in the sun.

Besides this, please ensure you get enough minerals, including salt and potassium to prevent dehydration and – I’m not talking about the junk stuff like what is purported to be electrolytes – as well as adequate water.

How To Reduce Colds and ‘Flu, Especially in Children

Kids, ‘Flu and Asthma: “I’m the mother of two beautiful twin girls. They are both 6 years old. Last year my first daughter was suffering from ‘flu. When I took her to the doctor they told me that she had asthma. She was put onto a whole range of medication. One day I explained to to one of your staff that my child is not getting better. In fact, she is getting worse and very fast. She recommended your multi-vitamin, protein and CalMag-C. They started to use the products in November and haven’t had any ‘flu since then! Also the asthma has disappeared! For myself, I am using your vitamin C and also the CalMag-C and if it is that time of the month, believe me I don’t have any period pains anymore! Thanks for saving my kid’s life!” AM Pietersburg

How To Relax – Naturally

(See below for special Anti-Stress Deals)

Are you, like millions of others, chronically tense or anxious?

Do you suffer from a dry mouth or feel like you’re suffocating? Is your stomach constantly in a knot or having spasms? Or, do you get chronic muscle cramps? Here, let me give you some data that might explain these phenomena.

Your nervous system is a communication network that controls and co-ordinates most body activities. In addition, the nervous system works unnoticed to regulate a multitude of internal activities, such as modulating body temperature or altering heart rate, in order to maintain homeostasis – the state of balance and stability that exists in a healthy body regardless of changes in the external and internal environments of a person.

The nervous system consists of the parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems. Your parasympathetic nervous system keeps you calm and helps slow your mind and your body down whilst your sympathetic nervous system keeps you going, going, going.

This is important because when you’re supposed to be on the go – working, exercising, in action – you need your sympathetic nervous system to be firing away and providing you with energy but, when you’re supposed to relax, unwind, eat calmly, sleep peacefully, your parasympathetic nervous system needs to take over.

In other words, a balanced nervous system will allow you to have plenty of energy when you’re supposed to but also allow you to be calm and peaceful when you’re supposed to be relaxed.

To function properly, your parasympathetic nervous system needs the alkaline minerals to create the calmness and peace whilst your sympathetic nervous system requires the acid minerals to give that energy when you need it for your work or play. But the keyword here is BALANCE. You need both the alkaline AND acid minerals but they must be in balance so you don’t exclude one or the other unless you’re already getting too much of one from the foods you eat.

The main alkaline minerals include, amongst others, calcium, magnesium and potassium while the predominant acid mineral is phosphorus.

Phosphorus mainly comes from your grains (breads, pastas, crackers, processed foods, pies, cakes, etc) – your typical American diet – while calcium, magnesium and potassium mainly come from your greens – of which most people don’t get enough.

The important thing to know is that you need to eat more green vegetables and fewer grains.

You can also supplement with a good quality calcium and magnesium supplement like Instant CalMag-C (see below) as well as try taking two to three teaspoons of a good quality apple cider vinegar such as Braggs in some water with raw organic honey to get some good quality potassium into your body. This is quite a tasty drink if done right and goes a long way to providing you with the potassium your body needs. It’s available online at Paul Bragg’s site. I don’t have any connections with his organization other than being a consumer of their apple cider vinegar myself.

It is simple to reduce the tension and anxiety and have a calm and peaceful night’s sleep by eating more greens and taking good quality calcium and magnesium supplement.

Tips For Handling Sleep Problems

A lot of people have sleep problems and for many this is very debilitating, affecting their relationships, ability to function properly and they very often feel depressed and just not interested in life. Your body repairs itself during sleep so if you’re not sleeping it can’t repair and the accumulation of all the damage can lead to more serious disease. Sleep has to be resolved and most certainly by correcting the real source of the problem instead of trying to cover up the symptoms by taking something that knocks one out. Of course, for some, there can be more serious underlying reasons and these should be addressed by a competent medical doctor – competent, being the operative word. That means one who does not just brush it off with pills but rather works with you to resolve dietary and stressful issues.
