1. BACKACHE: Research demonstrates that for most cases of lower back pain, chiropractic orosteopathy works far better than any medicine has to offer.
2. EARACHE: In most cases, time, mullein oil, urine therapy, a wooly hat or a hot water bottle works far better than any antibiotics in curing earache, according to numerous studies.
3. FEVER: Fever is your body’s extremely clever method of killing foreign bugs of all kinds and shouldn’t be suppressed. Rather than worrying about the exact degrees, it is more important to determine whether the problem is serious, like meningitis. Fevers for ordinary viral and bacterial infections won’t exceed 105 degrees, which isn’t dangerous.
4. INFECTION: For common or garden infections, first try working with a herbalist, who will prescribe echinacea, colloidal silver, or berberies rather than antibiotics. Read more on 10 Things You Don’t Need To See A Doctor For…

Cholesterol is a fatty substance that is found naturally in all human and animal tissues. It is part of normal cell structure and is essential to a number of body processes, such as the formation of certain hormones.
Cholesterol is an important ingredient of bile, which is made in the liver and released into the duodenum via the gall bladder. Bile aids the digestion of fatty foods. Cholesterol is carried in the blood stream linked to special proteins known as lipoproteins.
Much of the cholesterol present in the diet is absorbed for the body to utilise. However since the body can synthesise all the cholesterol it needs in the liver and other cells, a dietary intake of cholesterol is not needed.
“Although cholesterol is essential to sustain life, too much cholesterol in the blood can cause serious health problems”

The word protein comes from the Greek term meaning “of prime importance”, which indicates its role in nutrition. Protein is the body’s primary building material, making up nearly one fifth of it’s structure. Since, as part of normal life, body tissue is constantly being lost and damaged (like skin and hair for example), we need a constant supply of protein in our diet to replace this loss. Protein is essential to the metabolic activities of every cell.
There are many popular misconceptions about protein. For example, many people believe that excess protein will not make them fat. In reality a gram of protein contains four calories (the same as carbohydrates or starches) and any excess calories from protein are converted to fat and stored.

Very high cholesterol intake contributes to high blood cholesterol levels, but a more important dietary factor is a high intake of saturated fat. This is found in fatty meat products (such as pies or sausages), full-fat dairy foods, biscuits and cakes.
High cholesterol foods include offal, shellfish, eggs and dairy foods.
Other elements that also influence blood cholesterol levels include genetic factors (high cholesterol levels sometimes run in families) and lifestyle factors, such as lack of exercise. Read more on What Causes High Blood Cholesterol?…

Here are a number of non-drug methods of improving depression. Do not embark on this programme without the guidance of a nutritionist skilled and experienced in this area, as you will be taking mega doses of certain vitamins and amino acids, which could have side effects if not monitored closely.
- Consume a large, varied wholefood diet, rich in fruits and vegetables, and low in saturated fats. Take your fats from mono and polyunsaturated fats (avoid cooking with the latter). Don’t eat too much or little fat.
