    Pharmacutical vs Herbal -> Well researched herbal alternatives

    I agree with Scarecrow, for me the secret to regaining my health has been to improve my glutathione levels (using Cellgevity). My health strategy is entirely natural now, and includes an anti-inflammatory paleo diet, garlic, oregano oil, probiotics and hypertonic saline. I have avoided...

    Bloating

    I use to get bloated too until I gave up wheat and followed a more natural 'paleo' diet. Now I never get bloated. Switching to coconut oil helps too as it is very easily digested.

    Coconut Oil - No Enzymes Required!

    I love coconut oil too and use it in all my cooking, baking, smoothies and energy balls! Coconut oil has numerous health properties and contains special 'lauric oils' (similar to those found in human breast milk) that can improve digestion, strengthen the immune system, reduce inflammation and...

    Omron Micro-Air Electronic Nebulizer System NE-U22V

    I have used the Omron NE U22, but I prefer the Aeroneb Go (easier to clean, more powerful, etc). I have done a video review of both nebulizers (plus the Pari Trek S) here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F8w-KnDIjXg

    Sleep Question

    Hello, I used to need 10-11 hours sleep per night too and I would still wake up exhausted. I was always falling asleep on the sofa at 8pm (which was annoying as I would never get to see the end of a movie!) However, since I have been supplementing my glutathione levels, I have a lot more energy...

    please tell me about the sore throat remedies?????

    Have you had glandular fever (also called "infectious mononucleosis")? This could be the reason for the symptoms you describe, but you would need a blood test to confirm. I suggest visiting your doctor today. Gargling with salt water every 3 hours and taking soluble asprin is very helpful...

    Glutathione Safe for those with diabetes or CFRD? Questions for others and self done research links inside.

    Yes, glutathione is safe and beneficial for those with diabetes. Taking glutathione orally doesn't do much, because it is broken down in the stomach, so you need to take the precursors. Check out www.Glutathione4CF.com for more info

    Pseudomonas still there after erradication protocol. WWYD?

    Hi Edan, Pseudo can be very persistent unfortunately. I started culturing it at 13 but didn't require I-V's until I was around 20. You can be healthy with it there in the background and just treat with cipro if it flares up. A course of LGG probiotics would be useful to replace all the healthy...
