The Importance Of Good Sleep In Helping To Treat Cancer ...

9/8/2021

 
Picture
Sleep is absolutely crucial for a number of reasons…

1) Western scientific studies have shown that tumours can grow 2 to 3 times faster in animals that are deprived of sleep. Other studies have shown that people who get short amounts of sleep, disturbed sleep or who work night shifts (when the body should be at rest), all had considerably higher risks of developing cancers in comparison to those who get reasonably healthy amounts of sleep.

Why We Should Focus On Preventing Illness ...

4/8/2021

Prevention Versus Treatment.
 

The vast majority of money spent in Western Medicine is not on "health care" but instead on disease care.

Money is spent on creating profitable new drugs and new technologies and treatments, rather than on non-profit making education and prevention.
 
Thus in today's society most people are being falsely lulled by the western medical industry into a fake sense of security with dreams of magic pills and futuristic machines and computer chips, which will supposedly manage and enhance their bodies without any effort from themselves.

Maybe at some time in the far distant future this might be a possibility. But current technology is nowhere even close to accomplishing this.

The human body and its interactions with the natural world which we live in are vastly complex. They are currently well beyond what science is capable of manipulating in any meaningful way.

Instead, the reality is that even with so called advancements in science, we as a people are not becoming healthier but are actually suffering from more illnesses and diseases than at any other time in our current modern history.

For the last twenty years, nearly every type of major illness has increased. And for the last four years, the average lifespan in both the USA and in England has actually declined. We are now not just dying younger, but we are also suffering from more health problems, not just in older age, but all the way throughout our lives as well ...

Chinese Medicine has developed many methods over the last four thousand years not just to treat medical conditions, but to help strengthen the body and bring it into balance, so as to prevent illness from occurring in the first place.

It is often used to boost the energy, blood and hormones within the body to help it blossom and shine forth with good health.

For over a thousand years, many Chinese have also used its treatments to slow down aging. This has been particularly popular with the wealthy and upper classes in China ...

Beauty And Chinese Medicine ...

31/7/2020

Natural beauty.
 

Real beauty comes from both the inside and the outside. When someone has an engaging, alive and charismatic personality, combined with genuine kindness and caring. Someone who embraces life and has a smile for everyone. Then this regardless of their age, creates real attractiveness.
 
However on the other hand, if you have the most physically beautiful person, but they are cold, selfish and shallow, then all desire for them is truly lost. So remember if you want true beauty don’t just work on the outside but build love and happiness into your mind and soul as well.
 
In Chinese Medicine to work on the outside, we also have to work on the inside, but this time we are referring to our physical organs. For these provide our skin, nails, hair and complexion with all the nutrients, hormones and energy they need to keep them young, fresh and vibrant. They even help to give sparkle to our eyes.

To help our organs it comes back to the simple principle of strengthening our general health, through such things as good diet, sleep, moderate exercise and good mental and emotional well being...

How We Can Use The Seasons And Climate To Make Us Healthy And Avoid Sickness (Part 1 of 3) ...

31/5/2020

Before Reading this article, please read these others below for important background information  …
 
How having a cold body system can make you sick

How internal heat is the cause of many ailments

How foods can create cold in your body
 
 
The climate ...
 
Traditionally the climate played a substantial part on impacting upon peoples’ health.
 
You could imagine how difficult it must have been for someone who lived one or two hundred years ago to suffer from an illness like the flu in the middle of a harsh cold winter. Living in a cold, poorly heated house, it would have been very difficult to get the energy needed in the immune system to create white cells to fight off the flu or even a cold.
 
You could imagine how hard it would have been to get rid of a lingering chesty phlegm filled cough while living in an old damp house in the countryside during a freezing and wet winter.
 
You could envision also working out on the land in the wind or the rain, or in cold stone-floored factories at the turn of the century. 
 
Suddenly, little illnesses could turn into big life threatening ones. This would have been particularly problematic for the elderly, or for people with pre-existing conditions or weak constitutions.
 
This exposure to the harsh elements and extremes of nature would have been responsible for many diseases and even deaths in times of the past.

Such was their importance that Chinese doctors often referred to extremes of weather as external evils. They characterized these elements into categories of cold, damp, heat, fire, summer heat, dryness and wind.
 
Nowadays, we are not so vulnerable to the climate. We have radiators and central heating to keep us warm in the winter and air conditioning to keep us cool in the summer. Because of this, many of us have become complacent and unaware of just how damaging the weather can be. But even if we are not as directly exposed to the extremes, we can still be badly affected by them...

How We Can Use The Seasons And Climate To Make Us Healthy And Avoid Sickness (Part 2 of 3) ...

Autumn …
 

The sun starts to distance itself from our position on the earth and everything starts to cool down again. The summer has left us plenty of food to store and keep us going through winter.
 
Sometimes in autumn we can be affected by wind and dryness. Dryness can lead to chapped lips, dry skin and hair, dry eyes and dry cough. As it penetrates and dries internally, it can even lead to constipation. If fluid has been depleted from our blood, then our minds are deprived of it and the oxygen it contains which can lead to lower moods.

To boost fluids drink water, apple, mango and orange juices. And have plenty of neutral, sour and salty fluids. Foods that are oily, like nuts, seeds and olive oil will also help. All these foods have a common property, they all tend to hold and retain fluids in the body.
 
In autumn the wind can be a very dangerous element too. It tends to increase and drive the other types of weather deeper into us. In summer it can push the heat against our skin, drying it out more quickly.

Or with the cold in winter, it can push fresh cold against us constantly. This prevents our skin from having any chance to heat itself and can quickly drain energy, strength and life out from our bodies.

Always try to avoid exposure to the wind and keep the body well wrapped up to protect against it...

Spring …
 
Everything starts back up in spring. Leaves appear back on the trees, flowers start to peep out of the ground and come back into bloom. Animals wake up and come out of hibernation.
 
However for the human being, although it is a welcome time, with the sun and its energy returning; and all that has been stored and gathered over winter now being put to good use to rejuvenate the body, it can also be a very changeable and therefore dangerous time.

The body and mind can be tricked into believing too soon that the warm weather has returned. Because of this we turn the heating down and change our heavier, warmer clothes for lighter ones. Only to have the weather sharply swing back to the cold a week later, leaving many of us caught short and exposed to the climate. This can obviously weaken us and quite often causes problems like common colds.
 
It is again easy to avoid. Just be aware of it and keep extra clothes on you or within easy reach if the weather turns bad. You can leave such items like jumpers or hoodies in your car or at your desk at work...

Exercise And Chinese Medicine (Part 1 of 5) ...

30/3/2020

 
Part 1 of 5 articles on exercise and Chinese Medicine ...
Picture
There are three main categories regarding exercise that people usually fit into; those who do very little or none at all, those who do moderate exercise and those who partake in strenuous exercise.
 
Chinese and Eastern Medicines strongly differ from the current Western view of exercise.

They believe that doing too much exercise or doing more intense exercise like running and aerobics can be unhealthy for the body and mind.

They feel that too much exercise uses up and weakens resources such as energy, nutrients and hormones in the body.

This can take them away from the vital organs that need them in order to stay strong and healthy…

Exercise And Chinese Medicine (Part 2 of 5) ...

Let’s start this blog post by taking a look at Western exercise…
 
There are different intensities of exercise in the West, from moderate paced walking to intense running.
 
In this article, we will concentrate more on the strenuous activities that are popular in the West; like running, aerobics and competitive sports.

That is anything that gets your heart thumping, pulse racing or your lungs panting hard for more than a short period of time. Or that breaks you out into a strong sweat.

 
In terms of health, there are benefits you can get from intense exercise, such as increases in circulation and a reduced risk in cancer. But these can also be achieved by more moderate exercise.
 
So the question becomes, should we really be doing hard intense exercises ?

Well let’s take a look at a few problems it can cause and see whether it is still worth it…
