Intravenous chelation therapy was more popular than oral chelation initially. It involved the injection of EDTA (ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid) that is an effective and widely studied chelating agent. But gradually, oral chelation scored over intravenous chelation. This is primarily because of the comparative cost involvements. While, intravenous chelation is definitely less expensive from bypass surgery or angioplasty, they are still costlier in comparison to oral chelation.

Then again, intravenous chelation involves painful process and runs the risks of infection and vascular intrusion. They run the risk of incurring side effects like burning, redness and swelling at the place of injection, fever, fall of blood pressure, joint pain, rashes on skin, stomach upset, and irritation of the kidneys and liver occasionally. Oral chelation is as simple as taking one to two spoons full of doses, often based in honey or Royal jelly that also tastes great.

Oral chelation regimens are generally non prescription formula which millions of people access easily as compared to the expensive and complicated process of intravenous chelation which only a few can afford.

Another area where oral chelation scores over intravenous chelation, is its ability to chelate mercury from the body. It is because, the IV EDTA, or intravenous chelation, cannot bond with mercury. But in oral chelation potions, some organic substances are added which eliminate mercury from the system.

The only draw back of oral chelation is that it acts quite slowly. It is required to go through a course of six months on a regular basis to get the same result that an intravenous chelation can achieve within two or three rounds of administration. That is why the patients with severe symptoms are not prescribed oral chelation.

Composition

The whole notion about oral chelation is founded on the philosophy of intaking simple, healthy and nutritional foods. Oral chelation is nothing but some food- supplements to your daily diet, containing many chelating agents of which EDTA forms the basic part. The natural chelators in forms of vitamin, minerals, anti oxidants and amino acid are also included in oral chelation formula, in which EDTA is the only synthetic substance supposed to be found. After EDTA, anti oxidants is the next important constituent. In different types of oral chelation formula, the percentage of anti oxidant varies between 35 to 40 percent.

The side effects

Oral chelation sometimes may produce minor side effects like headache, fatigue or muscle pains. Make it a point to drink at least 8 to 10 glasses of water to keep your insides hydrated. It will help the medicine work more efficiently and prevent the side effects to repeat.

The long term benefits

The toxins build up plaques and cause for the narrowing of the arteries. But oral chelation prevents heavy metal toxicity and calcification. It lowers blood cholesterol, movements of free radicals, prevents blood clots and reduces the risk of diabetes and heart attack.

In addition to the heart patients, the people with a family history of heart disease and the people with stressful lifestyle and unhygienic dietary practices are highly recommended to avail of the oral chelation therapy. It is entirely safe and convenient for both children and adults.

Overwhelmed by studies, research and the constantly changing diet, nutrition and food recommendations? With so many conflicting opinions and studies it’s a full time job trying to keep up with the do’s and don’ts.

Here are… not just five, but six… of the top basic lifestyle changes that Cynthia Stadd, Director of Nutrition Services at The Berkley Center, recommends to proactively promote and prepare your body for conception and a remarkable family life!

Greatly reduce or eliminate caffeine and coffee altogether. It is a vasoconstrictor which can impede blood flow.

Establish a whole foods based diet that’s easy to incorporate into your busy lifestyle. Include whole vegetables, grains, nuts, seeds, and minimal animal protein. Consider scheduling a consultation with a nutritionist to discover which fresh whole foods you should choose for your body type including quantities, shopping tips and food preparation techniques for maximum health and digestion.

Drink plenty of water and avoid sugary liquids. The new high energy, vitamin and natural food drinks on the market may seem like a healthy alternative but they might not be as good for you as you think.

Avoid chemicals, additives and preservatives. Get educated on how to read food labels, recognize the artificial sweeteners to stay away from, and get acquainted with some natural sweeteners you may never even have heard about. Start increasing your fertility quotient with powerful dietary and nutritional counseling.

Limit your dairy intake. Find out the scary correlation between cow’s milk and reproductive health. Get the latest information on hormones, organics and soy… and how they may be affecting your reproductive health.

Curb unhealthy cravings. Here’s a simple solution you can start using tomorrow. Eat breakfast! Skipping breakfast can make cravings worse so start your day right and don’t miss the most important meal of the day. When working with a dietician you’ll learn lots of reasons and cures for unhealthy cravings including other emotional factors that may be keeping your body from conceiving.

Proper nutrition is very important from the perspective of reproductive health. A registered nutritionist will provide you with a list of foods and beverages which you should abstain from and a list of foods and beverages which you should partake of. Following these guidelines are important for your health in general and for your reproductive health in particular. She will walk you step by step through your own personalized nutrition and fitness plan and will also give you quick lifestyle and nutritional tips to break free from cravings that can reduce your chances of conceiving.

Your nutritionist will also guide you in managing any chronic health problems, help you attain your healthy, ideal weight, help you understand how your lifestyle choices impact your ability to conceive, help you create balance in your life as your prepare for parenthood, assist you in developing a manageable, doable exercise routine, reduce and manage stress on a day-to-day basis and support you in your journey to conception.

You’ve seen those mysterious little brown bottles in the health food store. But do you really know what “essential oils” are? Have you seen outrageous claims about lavender instantly curing wounds and found yourself thinking “Whoa!”? Let’s take a look at one of the biggest fads to hit North America in years and try to separate some of the fact from the fiction.

AROMATHERAPY–WHAT IS IT?

Though the use of aromatic plant materials dates back millennia, aromatherapy is a relatively new idea. In fact, the term “aromatherapy” wasn’t even coined until the 1920s. Though you’ll find people who claim aromatherapy can cure everything from AIDS to dandruff let’s first look at aromatherapy in its purest form–the use of fragrant plant materials to alter mood, create an atmosphere, and personalize a room.

Ask an aromatherapy aficionado and he’ll tell you that “true” aromatherapy uses only pure, natural plant materials. But the truth is, mood can be influenced by any scent–natural or not. Ask any realtor about the use of scents and he might just suggest baking a batch of cinnamon rolls or an apple pie while showing your home to prospective buyers. An old wives tale? Some people think so but others swear by it.

IF IT QUACKS LIKE A DUCK . . .

Let’s face it–there are folks out there hawking aromatherapy as a cure for cancer, a treatment for depression, and even as an aphrodisiac. But good scientific studies on aromatherapy are rare. Even among natural health experts aromatherapy isn’t taken all that seriously. At best it’s a complimentary therapy.

And while we’re on the subject of quackery, let’s also clarify another common misconception. There is currently no standardized certification aromatherapy program in the US. When you hire an aroma expert you’ve no way to be sure the person knows what he or she is doing.

OK. IT’S NOT A MIRACLE CURE. SO . . . WHAT’S IT GOOD FOR?

Aromatherapy may not cure terminal illness or heal burns in the blink of an eye but it’s a wonderful way to bring natural scents into your home. Essential oils don’t have the sickeningly sweet scent of artificial air fresheners or the solvent scent of room sprays. Whether you use them to freshen potpourri, diffuse them into the air, or use them to scent your linens, essential oils are a quick, easy way to inject a bit of your own personality into your private space. Let’s look at some of the most popular uses of some of the more common oils:

The medicinal scent of Eucalyptus or Tea Tree will make your bathroom or kitchen feel cleaner, instantly. Rose in the bathroom, however, harkens back to Victorian times, when rose was the scent of choice in perfumes, face creams, and soaps.

Lavender is the classic “linen closet” scent. Try lightly spraying your sheets and pillowcases about half an hour before you retire in the evening.

Citrus oils like Orange or Lemon make a room feel happy and alive while warm, woody oils like Patchouli or Sandalwood impart a mysterious, moody feeling.

In your bedroom, the deep, exotic scent of Ylang-Ylang urgently whispers “This is a romantic space”.

Getting quality sleep has, for many, become an elusive goal in the modern day. We work longer hours, take less time off, and try to overcompensate by micromanaging what little free time is available to in order to enjoy all facets of our lives. More and more of us are becoming aware that we are fatigued, and this is further exaggerated by the countless advertisements and commercials that discuss the number of Americans who are not getting good sleep. Many of us wake up daily with sore muscles and stiff necks. Nothing is more tiresome than the combination of exhaustion and neck pain.

Complications caused from lack of sleep can detrimentally affect existing medical conditions such as high blood pressure. Furthermore, improper sleep can be attributed to lowering the immunity system and can cause depression and anxiety disorders in many people. Over a period of time, lack of quality sleep can turn into a serious sleep disorder, so resolving the problem is a necessity.

So are you destined to face the above complications without any form of relief? Thankfully, the answer is no. There are quite a few remedies that can help people to develop the ability to gain restful sleep. Obviously, treatment for any existing medical condition, including stiff neck treatment is necessary. An objective evaluation of one’s environment and behavior is necessary to resolve this dilemma. A healthy sleep pattern is contingent on a few basic rules that can be personalized for any individual. These are a healthy diet, exercise, and most of all, a comfortable sleeping environment.

A healthy diet and exercise program have been proven to not only reduce risks for certain medical conditions, but they are also known to reduce stress and to assist in sleep comfort. Stress is a leading contributor to many chronic health conditions as well as causing an imbalance in sleep patterns. Exercise does not have to be strenuous, a simple walk a few times a week is more than sufficient. A healthy diet also includes the reduction of caffeine and alcoholic intake, as well as reducing food consumption in the evening hours, which has been shown to prohibit some from sleeping better.

A thorough look at one’s sleeping environment is extremely important. Not only should one make sure the room they sleep in is dark and quiet, but also taking a close look at the bed and pillow is extremely important. The mattress should be of good quality and the sheets and blankets clean and comfortable. Pillows are quite important as they support the head and neck during rest. Stiff neck pain is one of the leading causes of disrupted sleep patterns, and finding the proper pillow is essential. Over the years, sleep pillows have become widely recognized as improving sleep comfort due to their design, which invites comfort and proper body, neck, and head alignment. Visco elastic or “memory foam” pillow have been recommended by doctors and chiropractors across the world. Many attribute their new-found and consistent sleep and dream patterns completely to a new sleep pillow.

While poor sleep habits and stiff neck pain are most definitely serious complications to one’s health, by taking the appropriate measures outlined above, you’ll be sleeping like you were meant to and you’ll feel fully rested in no time.

Everyone at some point in time has experienced some form of heartburn. Often, what we notice is a bitter, sour or acid taste in our mouths. At times, we may feel as if partially digested foods or liquids are moving from our stomach back towards our mouth. Sometimes we may also experience chest pain that increases when we lay down. Each of these is an indication of heartburn.

Before we move on, however it is important to note that heartburn is only an indicator of a potentially larger digestive disorder called acid reflux or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Acid reflux is neither a serious disorder nor life threatening. This is especially true for those who only experience it occasionally. There are nonetheless millions of Americans that encounter the discomfort associated with acid reflux monthly, weekly and for some daily.

But what causes acid reflux? Well, when we eat, food moves from the mouth through the esophagus and into the stomach for further digestion. At the end of the esophagus there is a circular band of muscles that relax and allow food and liquids to pass into the stomach. It then tightens and prevents foods and stomach juices from traveling back up into the esophagus. If, however, food or digestive juices escape the stomach and travel back up the esophagus, irritating the esophageal lining, this is when many people experience heartburn.

For some, acid reflux is due to a mechanical disorder where the sphincter muscle at the end of the esophagus becomes weak or doesn’t close correctly. This can cause them to experience acid reflux when lying down as well as when standing up. In addition to mechanical issues that can cause the sphincter muscle to relax, alcohol, smoking, prescription medications and certain foods such as chocolate, onions, spicy foods and mints can also lessen the gripping power of this muscle.

Other reasons people experience acid reflux includes eating large meals. A large meal increases the pressure on the stomach. This pressure can cause stomach contents to literally be pushed out of the stomach and back into the esophagus. In addition, lying down right after a large meal increases your chances of experiencing acid reflux because digestive juices can more easily move in the wrong direction. Pregnancy and obesity can also increase abdominal pressure and increase your risk of experiencing acid reflux as well. Other digestive disorders such as a peptic ulcer or insufficient digestive enzymes in the stomach can also cause stomach acid to build up and back up into your esophagus.

In addition to heartburn, individuals with acid reflux can experience difficulty swallowing, a persistent sore throat or feeling a lump in the throat, coughing or wheezing. In more severe cases, the individual may regurgitate blood or notice that their stool is black, which can indicate that it contains partially digested blood.

Recommendations for Wellness

Eat a number of smaller, more frequent meals instead of one or two large meals daily.

Avoid lying down right after eating. Give your body a couple of hours to digest the food you’ve just eaten.

If you experience acid reflux at night, elevate your head or the head of your bed 4-6 inches.

If you are overweight, begin a diet and exercise program to help you shed a few pounds.

Take a good look at what you are eating. If you are consuming chocolate, alcohol, fried or fatty foods, foods flavored with peppermint or spearmints or acidic beverages such as certain juices, coffee, tea and carbonated beverages, they may be contributing to your acid reflux and should be avoided.

If you are taking prescription medications or suffer from a peptic ulcer, discuss your concerns with to your doctor to help you rule them out as the true cause of your acid reflux.

Reduce your stress level. Sing, dance, meditate, practice deep breathing or do yoga to help your body relax. This will help to reduce the pressure on your stomach.

Carminatives such as chamomile, fennel, ginger, peppermint and sage can work to sooth stomach muscles, increase the secretions of digestive juices as well as promote bile flow.

Similarly, digestive bitters improve digestion through enhanced secretion of digestive juices

Soothing herbs such as aloe vera, marshmallow and slippery elm have traditionally been use to combat the irritation often associated with heartburn.

If you feel as if the foods you are consuming are not being digested properly, try taking digestive enzymes before each meal to help break down foods in the stomach and improve digestion. Food enzymes come in many forms. There are broad spectrum food enzymes that can help to digest proteins, carbohydrates and fats. There are also specialized enzymes that help digest specific types of foods such as fats, proteins and milk.

The ancient Egyptians used aromatherapy thousands of years ago. Aromatherapy, a word that derives from ‘aroma’ meaning fragrance or smell and ‘therapy’ meaning treatment is based on an ancient principle that the spirit and the body should be in harmony. Hippocrates claimed that the secret to good health was to have an aromatic bath and a scented massage each day.

Aromatherapy, the healing art of using essential oils extracted from aromatic plants for therapeutic purposes is enjoying a modern-day revival. Extracted from fruit, flowers and tress, blends of these essentials oils can be incorporated for their healing properties and create a particular aroma.

Each essential oil used in Aromatherapy can be used either alone or in combination with other oils to promote health and a sense of emotional well-being. A full Aromatherapy treatment combines the beneficial properties of essential oils with a warm relaxing massage.

While essential oils are considered to be safe to use, they are very powerful, highly concentrated substances which should be treated with a great deal of respect.

Some of the most common essential oils and their effects:

Chamomile: Soothing and harmonizing

Clove: Warming
Fennel: Clearing

Eucalyptus: Balancing and stimulating
Grapefruit: Refreshing

Jasmine: Soothing
Lavender: Calming and healing
Lemon: Cleansing and stimulating
Orange: Calming and energizing

Before beginning any Aromatherapy treatment, it is important to understand how each essential oil works. Do not use any oil that you are not familiar with. Certain oils should not be used during pregnancy or when breast feeding. Consult your local professional for advise on which Aromatherapy treatment best suits your needs.

Vitamins are powerful organic substances required in minute amounts in diets for optimum health. Absence of vitamins can cause human bodies to suffer a metabolic catastrophe. An organism deprived of a particular vitamin will eventually suffer from disease symptoms specific to that vitamin.

Vitamins, being organic in nature, are all produced by plants or animals. However, human bodies generally can’t produce vitamins, with the exception of vitamin D, which is synthesized in the skin when exposed to ultraviolet light (sunlight). The body uses vitamins for a number of functions, including tissue building and keeping organs in smooth function. Vitamins give energy, build immune the system, and prevent diseases and the onset of premature aging.

Vitamins are of two types: water soluble and fat soluble. Water-soluble vitamins are found in fruits and vegetables; they include vitamins C, B6, and B12, Folic acid, Biotin, Niacin, Panthothenic acid, Riboflavin (vitamin B2), and Thiamin (vitamin B1). Fat-soluble vitamins have oils, nuts, and seeds as their sources; they are vitamins A, D, E, and K.

Vitamin supplements can be in natural as well as synthetic forms. These are available in tablet, capsule, and liquid forms. Tablets are the most commonly used and prescribed. A high intake of certain vitamin supplements, which far exceed the RDA, taken over long periods of time can cause health problems. RDA, or the Recommended Dietary Allowance, is the quantity of each nutrient estimated to keep the average human being healthy, according to a panel of nutrition authorities. The RDA of vitamins is revised every five years to keep up with the latest research.

To get optimal levels of nutrients from food, they have to be taken in their natural, unprocessed form in substantial quantities. Cooking, refrigerating, processing, canning, etc., all reduce the nutrient levels of foods drastically. Organically grown foods are the richest source of nutrients. However, the modern world is plagued by pesticide-ridden, fertilizer-laced, genetically modified (GM), and processed junk foods that only look appealing but have no nutritional value and only cause disease and the decline of health.

One does not have to wait to get pregnant, be a sportsperson, be diseased, or be old to resort to vitamin supplements. If you’re living in a city, you are breathing, drinking, and eating carcinogenic chemicals and living under constant stress that is biological, mental, and chemical in nature. You need vitamin supplements as a countermeasure and to last the long run.

Inflameze CMO Capsules

Inflameze CMO Capsules are supplements used for the purpose of relieving pain from swollen and inflamed joints, and can help with disorders such as arthritis and osteoarthritis.

Inflameze CMO Capsules are made from several potent ingredients in order to help with this function, which are Boswellia extract, Bromelain, Quercetin, Curcumin C3 Complex, Yucca Root and Devil’s Claw Root, Alfalfa Herb, Calcium, and Cetylmyristoleic Acid.

Boswellia Extract

Boswellia extract was derived from the herb boswellia serrata. It contains anti-inflammatory triterpenoids that can help alleviate inflammation and the swelling of joints, especially in the case of arthritis and osteoarthritis.

Bromelain

Bromelain is a natural enzyme which is extracted from a pineapple. Being a protein digesting enzyme, it is used to help people who have joint problems alleviate the pain and swelling in the joint areas, and at the same time, increase mobility as well.

Quercetin

Quercetin is derived from the seed pods of the herb Dimorphandra mollis. This active ingredient is found in Inflameze CMO capsules because it can help reduce inflammation and decrease blood pressure. The body is also able to recover from injury and stress faster than the norm.

Curcumin C3 Complex

Recognized for centuries as having a lot of health benefits, the Curcumin C3 Complex is derived from the turmeric root. As such, it has anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory functions that can help with both joint health and flexibility.

Yucca Root and Devil’s Claw Root

Yucca root and Devil’s claw root are herbs which are recognized as having strong anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Having antioxidant functions, it can help with oxidative stress due to free radicals that cause disorders like arthritis. On top of this, Yucca root and Devil’s claw root can also help with relieving chronic joint pain and stiffness.

Alfalfa Herb

Rich in vitamins, beta carotene, and minerals, the Alfalfa herb is used to alleviate pain and stiffness in the joints, which can in turn also help with arthritis.

Calcium

Calcium is a mineral that helps with the bones in terms of maintaining the structure of the body. But aside from this, it can also help with cell metabolism.

Cetylmyristoleic Acid

Cetylmyristoleic Acid is a combination of fatty acids that are used for maintaining a normal cell structure, as well as physiological and bodily processes.

Because of his desire to help a friend suffering from arthritis, Dr. Harry Diehl, a research chemist at the National Institute of Health, was able to discover Cetylmyristoleic Acid. Diehl was trying to induce arthritis on a certain species of mice, but failed to do so. Because of this, he was able to find out that it was all because of one compoundCetylmyristoleic Acid.

Studies have shown that Cetylmyristoleic Acid can lessen pain and inflammation in the joints as well as increase mobility among arthritis patients. This is because Cetylmyristoleic Acid soothes the body’s immune response to joint irritation, thereby improving joint recovery, while at the same time minimizing damage from pain. Aside from this, Cetylmyristoleic Acid can also enhance joint lubrication in order to alleviate the stiffness of joints.
