Why Gynecologist Keep This as a Secret

by February 5, 2017

Did you know there is a vaginal disease that affects one-third of women who are of childbearing age? Are you dealing with this disease?

This disease is known as Vaginitis and to sum it up is an inflammation of the lining of the vagina caused by pathogenic fungi or bacteria. Our vaginas are homes to many different microorganisms. Some that are beneficial and others that are not. The balance of these microorganisms depends on our age, function of your ovaries, and lifestyle. That is because all of these things affect the glycogen content of the vaginal wall. This glycogen is converted into high concentrations of lactic acid. It is then used to prevent bad bacteria from spreading.

The symptoms associated with vaginitis can be brutal. If you have ever had any sort of genital issue you know how uncomfortable and embarrassing it really is. Vaginitis is a very serious issue.

Symptoms of Vaginitis

  • Change in color of discharge from your vagina.
  • Change in odor of discharge from your vagina.
  • Change in amount of discharge from your vagina.
  • Pain during intercourse.
  • Pain during urination.
  • Vaginal itching or irritation.
  • Light vaginal bleeding or spotting.

Drugs and other chemicals can cause allergic reactions and severe dryness of the vagina. Antibiotics should not be used because they can actually cause the spread of fungal infections. If these things won’t do any good then how can we rid ourselves of vaginitis? 

The answer to that is quite simple. There are many different natural remedies that will normalize the microflora of the vagina and eliminate the signs of vaginitis. Now before you do these it is best to find out whether your disease is being caused by yeast or bacteria. This will help you to better treat the issue.

Home Remedies for Vaginitis

Lemon Juice

For this remedy, you will need to dissolve one teaspoon of lemon juice into two cups of lukewarm water. Douche with this mixture. Do not do this too much just once (maybe twice at most) a week for a month.

Chamomile Tea

Bring two cups of water to a boil and add one tablespoon of dried chamomile flowers. Allow them to simmer for about fifteen minutes. Rinse and wash with this potion. Follow this treatment until the microflora is normalized.

Vinegar 

Mix one tablespoon of 9% acidity vinegar in two cups of boiling water. Allow it to boil for just a few minutes, then rinse the external parts of your vagina with this. Do this every single day until the symptoms are gone.

Cranberry Juice

This is probably the oldest trick in the book but yes, if you drink organic cranberry juice you can successfully treat a yeast related vaginal infection. This is because it helps to restore the pH balance of your vagina.

These remedies are not hard things to do. They are simple things that will without a doubt improve your vaginal health. If you’re dealing with this type of issue and either are too embarrassed to get help or can’t seem to find anything that will work give these remedies a try.

by February 5, 2017

I’m sure you have heard that the eyes were the ‘window to the soul’ but did you know they were also a window to your health? Your eyes can tell some interesting things about your health.

Sure, this may sound strange but it is very true. Do you have blurred vision or disappearing eyebrows? If so, then reading further will benefit you greatly. who knew getting to the root of our problems could be done by assessing our eyes?

Things Our Eyes Are Telling Us:

  1. Blurred Vision in a diabetic- Diabetics are at a higher risk for quite a few eye issues. The most common of those being something called retinopathy. This is an issue that affects the circulatory system of the eye and is the leading cause of blindness in American adults. If you are a diabetic and notice blurred vision becoming an issue in your life do not hesitate to see someone about it.
  2. Reoccurring stye- If you are dealing with a stye that just won’t go away or one that keeps coming up in the same spot it could be a sign of a rare cancer called sebaceous gland carcinoma.
  3. Double vision, loss of vision, or dim vision- These are all warning signs of stroke.
  4. Disappearing eyebrows- If the outer third of your eyebrow has begun disappearing on its own you may be dealing with thyroid disease.
  5. Blurry vision or burning eyes when using a computer- This is the result of something known as ‘computer vision syndrome’ CVS. It is caused by the lack of contrast on a computer screen.
  6. A small blind spot in your vision (shimmering lights or wavy lines)- This may be the result of a migraine aura as they tend to produce these types of issues. This can sometimes be accompanied by a headache.
  7. Bulging eyes- Protruding eyes is often the result of hyperthyroidism.
  8. Whites turned yellow- If the whites of your eyes turn yellow you are dealing with jaundice. This appears in adults who are dealing with liver, bile duct or gallbladder issues.

Researches Discover the Vegan “Holy Grail” – A Sea Plant That Tastes Like Bacon, More Nutritious Than Kale

by February 5, 2017

Would you eat algae that tastes like bacon? Sure, it sounds gross but is it?

This strain of seaweed can provide a much-needed solution to some of out most pressing issues. Oregon State University has cultivated a strain of red marine algae. This strain has researchers and some vegans very excited. This seaweed itself grows along both the Pacific and Atlantic coastlines and is called dulse. However, dulse itself is a bit different than this new strain. This new strain has been developed in order to be farmed. It will be opening so many doors.

Dulse is said to be a nutritional powerhouse. It is packed with protein, minerals, vitamins, and antioxidants. It is so abundant in these things that it is said to be two times more beneficial than kale itself.

The strangest thing about this strain of algae (and dulse in general) is that when it is fried it tastes like bacon. This could help people who are already vegan or wish to become vegan by giving them an overly nutritious morning meal ingredient that is a bit more accessible than dulse that was not farmed. Seaweed farming appears to be the next big wave coming in. It may actually be able to do some good in the world because seaweed has the ability to take up nutrients in the water that would otherwise harm marine ecosystems.

Because seaweed has the ability to take up nutrients in the water that would otherwise harm marine ecosystems. It can provide the world with something we have not been doing up until recently. We can get rid of some of the things that are harming marine life, why would we not?

Seaweed farms can thrive in problematic waters. They will be able to help get rid of ocean acidification from excess carbon dioxide in the atmosphere as well as other things. This and others like it could be exactly what we need to clean our oceans up.

Would you try dulse? This superfood could be is packed with just about everything you would need. For more information on farming dulse please watch the video below. Big things are in the works.

This Popular Candy Is Linked To ADHD, Anxiety & Cancer

by February 4, 2017

Everybody loves a piece of candy every now and again, but did you know that one of the number one candy’s in the United States has been linked to cancer? Hopefully, this will help you make healthier choices!

Reese’s peanut butter cups are a favorite among many. They have been around for almost one hundred years, but recently they have obtained some toxic chemicals…

H.B Reese created Reese’s candy bar in 1928. He was a dairy farmer and a shipping foreman for Milton S. Hershey, and he found him inspiring! He left his dairy farming job and went to his basement to create his own original candy. That he did, and it took off almost immediately! Nowadays, there are 20 varieties of Reese’s peanut butter cups. It is sad that they have evolved into a product made out of cheap and toxic ingredients nowadays. I’m sure that Mr. Reese would be very disappointed.

Ingredients: 

Milk Chocolate, chocolate, milk, cocoa butter, sugar, milk fat, no fat milk, soy lecithin, lactose, PGPR), sugar, peanuts, and Dextrose.

PGPR

Ingesting it consistently can leave you with a multitude of health issues too. It is used to replace the cocoa butter because it is a cheap alternative in manufacturing. It can cause many different allergic reactions and is made from castor beans.

Soy lecithin

Shockingly, almost 93% of soy is a genetically modified. It is a food additive that has been linked to breast cancer in many different scenarios, and it can also lead to Infertility. Additionally, Reese’s also uses Tertiary Butylhydroquinone, a compound derived from petroleum. It is closely related to butane and is really dangerous for humans. It is obscene that these things are even legal to put in our foods.

Instead of eating the delicious and toxic Reese’s, try making these more organic Reese’s cups. They are free of harmful chemicals and they taste amazing! I’d say they are even better than original Reese’s cups. Here is the recipe.

Ingredients

  • 200 grams 72% dark organic chocolate squares or 1 cup vegan chocolate chips
  • about 3/4 cups organic peanut butter* (** check for substitutes)
  • 4 tablespoons of coconut oil (divided
  • You will also need a double boiler or a small pot with a bowl to melt the chocolate and about 12 paper cupcake or muffin liners.

Directions

First, melt the chocolate. Set up the double boiler or pot with water to boil with a bowl on top (be sure the bowl does not touch the water) and set heat to medium high. Add the chocolate squares with 2 tablespoons of coconut oil and allow to melt completely. Stir occasionally to incorporate the chocolate with the coconut oil. Turn off heat and leave on the pot to keep warm.

In a small bowl, scoop out roughly 3/4 cups peanut butter and add in 2 remaining tablespoons of melted coconut oil. Mix well to incorporate and set aside.

Line a flat dish with muffin or cupcake liners. With a spoon, scoop in a little-melted chocolate to cover the bottom of each liner. Place in the freezer for about 2 minutes to slightly set. Add a small scoop of peanut butter and coconut butter mix in the center and gently flatten with the back of a spoon. Scoop more melted chocolate to cover the top, about 1-2 tablespoons. Return to the freezer for about 15-30 minutes until serving.

Never Let People Kiss Your Baby’s Lips! Here Is Why…

by February 4, 2017

If you are a mother or father then you know the importance of keeping your precious baby safe and healthy. However, sometimes we overlook some of the most important ways to keep them healthy.

One mom in the UK whose name is Claire Henderson had a newborn baby girl named Brooke who was kissed on the mouth. Because of this one little kiss Brooke had to spend five whole days in the hospital with herpes on her cheeks, chin, and lips. Allowing people to kiss your baby is disgusting and completely unsafe for the health of your child. Cold sores can be deadly for newborns under three months old. Brooke was lucky and made it through this unfortunate event.

Even if someone looks healthy you should never let them kiss your baby on the lips. Of course, this is not something that happens all the time but it does happen. The threat is there and when it comes to our children preventing people from kissing them on the mouth is the least I can do. By kissing your baby people are putting your child at risk. You wouldn’t let a sick person around your newborn so why would you allow someone to kiss them on the mouth? You know how much bacteria is in our mouths? We are disgusting beings.

Your baby is at a crucial point and deserves to develop without dealing with something like this. If you notice someone with a cold sore getting too close to your child please let them know to keep a distance. Your child’s health is more important than not wanting to offend others.

by February 4, 2017

Yes, mucus is gross but it is also very important to your health. However, in some cases, our bodies produce an excess amount and that is something that needs to be cleared up.

Mucus is something that helps prevents the body from being infected with germs, bacteria, and things of the sort. If something that should not be in our body enters with the intent of making us sick our mucus traps it and attempts to prevent it from entering our bodies.  Mucus is known to get thicker and stickier when you’re sick which is why when we are ill we tend to blow our noses and do gross things much more.

Now while mucus is beneficial some people do produce more than others. If you want to minimize the amount of mucus your body produces then these are the foods you should avoid. That is because some foods can cause you to produce more mucus.

  • Alcohol
  • Gluten
  • Refined Sugar
  • Dairy products mainly milk
  • Red meat with a high-fat content

These can speed up the production of mucus because they are known to activate the gustatory rhinitis. Now if you give these foods up and still for some reason cannot get rid of your excess mucus then this juice is something that will without a doubt do the trick.

Mucus Reducing Juice

Ingredients:

Directions:

  • Juice these things together and then drink.
  • Plain and simple!

This juice actually tastes pretty good through my experience as well. Drink it at least once a day and your mucus will be reduced in no time. Enjoy!
