Cures From The Kitchen
&
Ways Of Wellness

This book is a result of some medical conditions that were not treatable by traditional prescription medicine or the side effects of prescription medicine worsened the conditions of the ailments. And in one case Prescription medicine caused the illness and that particular prescription has been removed from the market now for being known to cause heart disease, strokes and heart attacks.


Some of the remedies were prescribed by medical doctors who treat pain and some recommendations were from specialists like my primary care physician who treated me at the time of my hospital stay in 2001 who is a licensed M.D.D.O. And other type of medical doctors such as herbalists, traditionalists, homeopathic doctors (like me) and even an Ortho Molecular doctor also has a part in some of the nutritional remedies that are given in this print.

In this edition of Kitchen Cures & Ways Of Wellness we recommend that you drink lots of water, eat lots of green leafy vegetables, stay away from red meats, pre packaged foods, sugars, sweets (unless sweetened with a healthy substitute) and eat an apple a day. Drink lots of teas (especially green) and use lots of spices in your foods. And if you like ginger and cinnamon then you may even try both of them in your tea.

It is a compilation of over ten years of my personal self study after a five day hospital stay in 2001 caused by an exhausted immune system from years of stress with no means to relieve the pressure of being a single parent of four children and living on below poverty income in the early nineties.

All Vitamin and Supplement doses are to be taken as the label on the brand of your choice of purchase recommends unless other wise stated by your doctor. Dosages for specific illness' of cancer or arthritis are to be taken as suggested in this book unless your doctor tells you otherwise.


I do not recommend coffee enemas though I was advised to have them more then once as a treatment for cancer. I found my deliverance from the hideous disease to be more conservative and user friendly than taking coffee any other way then orally.

Everyone benefits in health and in weight control when they switch ALL butters, vegetable oils, or fat back grease and replace all of those with Olive oil on toast, popcorn, salads, and switch to coconut oil for cooking. You must not cook
olive oil at high temperatures because it causes chemical structure to mutate and instead of being healthy it becomes a health hazard. On the other hand, Coconut oil can be cooked at high temperatures and it is very healthy just as olive oils
are.

You will also find that there are many sugar substitutes such as honey or Xylitol that is much better for your immune system and the Xylitol will help fight cavities while trimming your waist. It looks and feels exactly like sugar does.

Recently Medical Research has discovered that Chronic Inflammation greatly increased the risk for women in stroke and heart attacks or heart disease. There is a new simple test to determine how much inflammation is in your blood. See your physician to see if that is something that you need at this time. There are simple anti inflammatory herbs and remedies mentioned above.


You can also start your day out with pineapple for breakfast. The enzymes in the pineapple help to breakdown the protein cells in the walls of cancer formation.

These are just a few simple ways that we have seen to bring great improvement for health naturally after years of research.


We use homeopathic remedies, herbs, teas, and supplements We believe that the best cure is from the Great physician and creator the Great God Jehovah. And that He has given herbs and nutrients that help us to maintain health by obeying His word and taking care of our temples (bodies) by respecting them with good health care practices.


One thing we all need each and everyday of our lives is health! Many are over stressed in over drive and have taxed the immune system to the point that it is shutting down. In some cases their bodies have excreted so much adrenaline from the Adrenalin Gland till there is not anymore "fight or flight" Epinephrine [Epinephrine - Epinephrine (also referred to as adrenaline;) is a hormone and neurotransmitter.

It is a catecholamine, a sympathomimetic monoamine extracted from the amino acids phenylalanine and tyrosine. (referring to the adrenal gland, which sits atop the kidneys and secretes epinephrine) When this happens our body becomes vulnerable to disease. Causing the body to continual release cortisol. It will ware down the immune system. Cortisol is what causes women to have too much stored fat in the belly. And maybe related to the rise in heart disease in women.


In some cases, it is nearly impossible to stop this downward spiral of destruction because the chemical has such a profound effect on our brains that in turn effects our entire lives. But even the worse case scenario can find hope in providing the body what it has to have to function properly.

Let us help you to regain control of your health! Using all natural and botanical herbs combined with common sense, daily supplements of vitamins, minerals, and a healthy diet are basics that get the body back on track to optimal health. Rest is essential for the healing properties to manifest speedily. And a healthy environment is also important to get optimal results

We use a Healing Approach to master Disease Control and operate in Preventive Health care as well as Traditional and Conventional Medicine applied conservatively.

The Bible tells us that we are to obey our physicians and we would never counsel against your own doctors advice. Most of our remedies can be found the kitchen cabinets anywhere, U.S.A.
And if there is a concern about a specific herb we would ask that you consult with your physician.

Our goal is to help you feel better, look better, and live longer! We only provide Natural and Homeopathic Remedies. And for the most part, our goal of optimal health is obtained best by Preventive Health Care. Natural Remedies are generally less expensive than prescription drugs, less side effects, and usually have more benefits than just healing a specific disease. For instance the treatment for fighting cancer also fights inflammation.

These herbs in and of itself is not the cure. But combined with a healthy lifestyle pleasing to God and eating properly, That healing will be activated. There are some foods that have to be abstained from and other foods that need to be partook of.

It is like if you were eating foods with high calories and no vitamin or nutritional value, we need you to now do just the opposite, high vitamin and nutritional value with very few calories. Spices and Teas are very beneficial in the healing process. In the Consultation we can determine which ones are best for you.

Chiropractic Care For California, DO MD, & Natural Pain, Anti Inflammatory, & Anti Arthritis Supplement Prescriptions
Wednesday, 17 November 2010

On November 16, 2010 I found out that California does not have Chiropractic care for some HMO's. I just left Missouri in September of 2010 where they had just begin providing Chiropractic care for Medicare and Medicaid Patients.

Those who need muscular skeletal help the most should be the first ones to receive it. My friend referred me to a wonderful Chiropractor Dr. Spurgin 1-760-327-9402 begin_of_the_skype_highlighting 1-760-327-9402 end_of_the_skype_highlighting here in Palm Springs, Ca. and they have said they will sign my petition and help me to spread the word about the need for Chiropractic care here in the Desert that will be covered by three other very important HMO's.

I hope that whoever writes any new legislation, policies or bills for the Arthritis Foundation for 2011 will consider this need for medical treatment for Arthritis patients so that they can have the best mobility possible with the affliction of arthritis or spinal skelital or muscular problems.

On another note, just three months ago, I learned that some medical students and medical universities were considering changing the lettering behind some medical doctors names ie: (Dr. McDonald, DO MD,) is how it is now and how I believe it should stay.

Because for someone who needs Chiropractic care but cannot get it they may can find a DO who will accept their insurance and DO's are licensed to give adjustments.

The Orthopedic students and universities were considering removing the letters DO off of their names should consider how that would effect their business because I know that would cause them to lose business and clients.

Some doctors require certain patients to go to specialists if they fill that a primary care family doctor is not capable of treating certain patients with certain diseases ie: (cancer, fibromyalgia , or neuropathy) so they will refer those patients to Internists as I recently discovered when I tried to find a primary care physician in Lebanon, MO.

When I couldn't find an internist less than 3 hours away I knew the next best doctor would be a DO and so I did find a great DO.

In lue of those experiences I really hope that they do not ever take the DO off the Medical lettering of the physicians names. Because some people will only chose a DO because they are generally more capable of treating patients with rare diseases, giving Gynecological exams and able to give an Chiropractic examination as well!

After further investigation on the matters mentioned in this post I decided to bring up the issue of prescription supplement treatment for arthritis, and the other natural pain and anti inflammatory medicines that are not covered by most prescription plans.

Research revealed that Pain and Inflammation are known precursors for heart disease. And that inflammation is a precursor for cancer. And that inflammation (head/neck) is a known cause of Alzheimer disease. Making the need to address these issues more important not only for me, but for our National Football League and many other sport athletes.

In early 2001, my pain management doctors in St. Petersburg, Florida prescribed me four different supplements because they said that "I was prone to arthritis" and now ever since then I have been taking those Prescription supplement medicines every day but at my own expense which is only one problem when standard treatments for pain and inflammation are covered by most insurance policies. In mid 2010 we discovered that I am allergic to Codeine causing me to search for other pain management treatments further increasing the need for change in this area. In 2009 they found a nerve root tumor on my lower spine creating yet more pain after a horrible fall in Winter of 2008.

The other problem is that in the event that I were hospitalized as I was in 2001 I would not have any way to get my anti arthritis medicines (Glucosamine chondroitin, MSN, Collagen, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Calcium that were prescribed to me by a medical doctor) or my anti pain medicines: (Boswellia), or my anti inflammatory medicines: (ginger, bromelain, turmeric, blackstrap molasses, Salmon Oil) or last but most significantly, my anti arthritis medicines; Glucosamine chondroitin, MSM, Collagen, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Calcium.

Also, In the same year I was diagnosed with Congestive Heart Failure and after a five day hospital stay my doctor every so wisely began teaching me about detoxification and a healthy diet lifestyle that I am so grateful that I integrated into my life now.

And in 2005, My Gastroenterologist found that I have suffered with severe Esophagitis explaining why my stomach would burn when I took the prescription pain and prescription anti inflammatory medicines that are used as a standard for treatment of arthritis.

Thus, I had to go all natural ( Boswellia, Ginger, Turmeric, Bromelain, Salmon Oil, Blackstrap molasses ) to treat the severe inflammation that I have from my head to my toes (literally) after all the skeletal structure trauma that I have survived.

My hopes are that the Arthritis Foundation’s 2010 Public Policy Committee will consider the need for Arthritis Patients to have access to Chiropractic care, and to have access to pain management, anti inflammatory and anti arthritis medicines that they need.

I am still what most consider "young" and maybe that is why mobility challenges are very intimidating to me. But I guess that is true in the world of sports injuries too. It is so hard to live with debilitation and crippling arthritis to the point that it challenges self care. The solution for me is not to give up my independence but to reverse the disease through therapy and treatment. Thank you for allowing me to share!
