They say that nothing can be done to help arthritic pain. Is this true?
Much can be done nutritionally for arthritis. It has been found that many people with arthritis have a lot of digestive distress, and that this may actually be the source of the problem. In addition, specific foods are known to cause an inflammatory response in the body and may contribute to arthritic trauma. Providing adequate nutrition can actually help the body fight the cause of arthritis and reverse the breakdown of tissue.
My children have recently taken an antibiotic. I have heard that there can be digestive problems after taking these medications. What should I do?
Many children complain of stomachaches after taking an antibiotic and it is important to restore the proper bacteria in the intestine so digestion is not compromised. It is suggested that a supplement of acidophilus be taken for a week or two after medication. You may consider products that contain several other probiotics in the ingredients as well.
The doctor said I have early stages of osteoporosis. I know I need calcium, but I don't know what is good. They say on TV that some type of antacid is good, is this true?
Lucky for you that you caught this in the early stages. Please avoid antacids for calcium, the calcium in these products is not absorbed very well and may also interfere with absorption of other nutrients, so this is not a viable source of calcium. A high quality calcium product is necessary to improve your status. The most absorbable form of calcium is Organic Microcrystalline Hydroxyapatite concentrate. Other involved nutrients are Vitamin D-3, magnesium, vitamin C, boron, soy isoflavones, and protein. Other risk factors that need to be evaluated are estrogen levels, hydrochloric acid deficiency, stress, caffeine, dieting, cigarette smoke, corticosteroids, alcohol, exercise, fiber, low nutrient intake, as well as family history of the disease. Great results have been seen with proper supplementation and reduction of risk factors.
It seems like every time I go to the doctor something else is wrong with me. The number of medications I am on is increasing each year. I don't really know why these conditions are cropping up. I also am not getting any information on how to get healthy, or get rid of the problem, like high cholesterol, for example. What can you recommend?
The best thing a person can do is get to the underlying cause of the problem rather than mask a symptom which is often found with medications. There can be many causes for a medical problem. A tool that can be used to determine a cause or a weakness in the body is the EPFX Computer. This is a high-tech complimentary health device that can assist health practitioners to find energetic imbalances and health issues occurring within humans and animals.
The function of the EPFX is similar to that of a virus-scan on a computer. The EPFX detects weaknesses such as viruses, nutritional deficiencies, Allergies, abnormalities, and food sensitivities by calculating the biological reactivity and resonance in your body. This data offers an understanding of your possible needs, dysfunctions, and vulnerabilities. The information is inevitably different from that provided by more standard medical tests (e.g., blood tests, X-rays) because it focuses in on your energetic body, which offers a more complete view of each facet of your health.
The initial test by the EPFX will measure vitamin levels, amino acids, nutrients, food substances, minerals, enzymes, bacteria, molds, viruses, among other items, as well as balance of internal organs, and then compares these against a "norm."
Basically, the EPFX reveals anything that is negatively affecting health. For example, if someone has digestive trouble, the EPFX may show person to have had some sort of food poisoning as a child, which is causing current health issues to occur.
The evaluation is performed by a trained individual who has passed the testing required to administer the biofeedback technique. The person is certified and ongoing training is required to remain certified. This person is also well versed in health restoration, lifestyle, nutrition, etc.
The evaluation is, as mentioned, a gathering of information about how your body reacts to thousands of substances. The results will indicate what areas of vulnerability exist with in your body. Every person will have a unique reading. Suggestions can be made to you as to what life-style changes, health program, nutrients, or other health producing substances may be helpful to you, as well as further testing or therapies. It is your choice as to whether you wish to follow any suggestions. This tool is not for diagnosis of disease. That can only be done by a doctor.
Can children benefit from EPFX evaluation?
The EPFX is an exceptional tool for children because they are unable verbally to communicate what is going on inside them. The reading could suggest possible food intolerances and toxicities which could be the underlying issues surrounding health or behavior concerns.
