Published: Mar 1st, 2010 | Author: Alex Bhaswara Add Comment

A headache is a familiar human problem that is well known to everyone. It can be triggered by a broad range of conditions but it normally is not a sign of serious disease. The severity of a headache greatly varies from episode to episode, from minor to severe and disabling discomfort that may continue for several hrs and does not fade away on its own.

In addition to over-the-counter pain relievers, you may also alleviate headache with a number of home remedies or prepared natural remedies for headache which are said to be very effective and have little or no side effects:

Hidden Secrets Your Doctor Does Not Want you To Know about Cesarean Birth

Published: Mar 1st, 2010 | Author: Alex Bhaswara Add Comment

Today’s world is changing. Pregnancy has slowly been converted into a sickness that requires medical intervention and surgical treatment. Women have blindly accepted this propaganda and many are now opting for Cesarean birth instead of natural childbirth.

The Public Citizen Health Research Group in Washington, D.C. has estimated that half of the nearly 1 million Cesareans performed every year are medically unnecessary. That means that 500,000 women per year are having severe medically unnecessary surgery! (more…)

Alternative Medicine and the Placebo Effect

Before I go on about what will be dealt with specifically from here on out, I want to say a word on skepticism. Skepticism is not a position, it is a method of inquiry. It is one which requires whoever is proposing an idea as though it is true, to prove it. You want me to believe your opinion that aliens live with you? Prove it! Until you do so, given the lack of proof for any other alien existence on planet Earth, I have no good reason to believe your opinion and am justified in reserving judgment until you (or anyone else) provides me with sound reasons to believe aliens live with you. Skepticism often is wrongly misrepresented as cynicism.

I am often accused of being a cynic because I don’t believe every new idea that I hear until I am provided good reasons for believing it. Well, my simple response is that such an accusation is not warranted. I see nothing wrong with being asked for reasons to believe in something and think that cynicism, believing nothing, is just as silly as believing everything. Every individual, whether he or she realizes it or not, is a skeptic about anything that violates something he or she already believe and see as uncontroversial. (more…)

A Nasal Decongestant Can Make Your Sinusitis Worse

Published: Feb 5th, 2010 | Author: Alex Bhaswara Add Comment

A nasal decongestant is focussed on trying to make a thick discharge thin, so it drains. Or to prevent the formation of a discharge. This is suppressive treatment. It is not taking your body in the direction it is trying to go.

Your body is intelligent. It is always trying to make a good job of your health. But it is hampered by the lack of ‘tools’. Things that make you healthy, that raise your immune system are: (more…)

Nasal Obstruction – Two Ways to Resolve it Naturally

Published: Feb 5th, 2010 | Author: Alex Bhaswara Add Comment

Nasal obstruction usually occurs when your nasal discharge is thick. Too thick to drain. Thin discharges drains easily, so would rarely cause a nasal obstruction.

Often the thick, stubborn discharge is gluey or stringy. When you can finally get some out, it’s sticky like chewing gum.

Once a discharge remains locked in your sinuses, it may become infected, so the typical colour of it is yellow or yellow/green. And the pressure may build up, creating a pain. Perhaps a pain at the root of your nose which feels heavy or burns. (more…)

Nerve Pain From An Injury is Best Treated With Homeopathy

Published: Feb 5th, 2010 | Author: Alex Bhaswara Add Comment

Nerve pain will occur when you damage an area which is rich in nerves. Or it can come about from an inner disturbance.

Areas which are rich in nerves are the head, the spine, the fingers and toes, the eyes, the mouth and the genitals. So any injury to these parts are going to sustain a greater potential for nerve damage and so nerve pain, than other areas.

The typical pain of an injured nerve is sharp. Sharp and shooting. Away from the site of injury. And it feels like an electric shock. A buzzing or a stinging. Perhaps a tingling. (more…)

Overcoming Grief With Homeopathic Help

Published: Feb 5th, 2010 | Author: Alex Bhaswara Add Comment

Overcoming grief can be as simple as allowing the grief to happen. Don’t try to stifle it. Abandon yourself to the crying. Allow tears to well up when you’re talking to friends. The worse thing you can do is to try to control the process. And yet, this is exactly what everyone does.

Grief is a perfectly normal and natural emotion to feel and it needs time to allow for the process. If you can allow the process to work, without trying to interfere, then you are more than likely to resolve it yourself. If friends make comments, abandon the friends, at least while you are grieving. They’re not helping you. (more…)
