Studies show that hospital-acquired infections kill between 8,000 and 12,000 Canadians a year.  Although great attention is being given to cleaning procedures and bed occupancy rates at hospitals, very little is being done about the overuse of antibiotics, and still less on prevention at the immune system level or natural and side-effect-free treatments for infections.

Super bugs are appearing in the community too – not a spill-over from hospitals.  You may have consumed antibiotics knowingly as a treatment or unknowingly in your food. 70% of all antibiotics and related drugs produced in the USA are fed to animals to produce beef, chicken and pork at a faster rate, like a growth hormone. About 10% of that is stored in the meat, 90% goes out in urine and manure, which is then used in over 9 million hectares of farmland as fertilizer. Vegetables including lettuce, potato, cabbages, corn … absorb some of it through the soil and deliver it to your dinner table.  Although the amount in each serving may be small, the cumulative effect could be significant enough to cause bacterial imbalance, weakening of the immune system and early puberty.

Organic farms that cannot guarantee the manure to be free of chemicals are also at risk of having pharmaceuticals in their produce.

So what do you do to protect yourself?  Continue to consume organic foods more and more from known sources, reduce meat consumption, and strengthen your immune system with probiotics, antioxidants, minerals, and hemp seed oil.

Probiotics

These supply your body with various strains of beneficial bacteria.  Did you know that good bacteria actually KILL infectious bacteria such as Salmonella and E. coli? There’s lots of research to prove this.  Probiotics do much more for you than we have space for in this article.

Antioxidants

Nutrients found in fruits, nuts, vegetables and herbs including teas that disable free radicals in your body.  Free radicals occur naturally as a by-product of metabolism and can damage our cells like rust can damage your car.  Antioxidants act like a car wash and wax job on your cells protecting and strengthening your cells so they are much less likely to be damaged by attacks of viruses, or auto immune disorders such as cancer, heart problems, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus etc.

Minerals

Essential for all physiological processes in the body and must be consumed in foods and supplements.  All electrical activity in the body including your heart beat, depends on minerals such as calcium, sodium, chlorine and potassium. All hard cells such as bones, hair, nails and skin need minerals such as silica, zinc and magnesium. Hormone production, sugar metabolism and mood balance are affected by trace minerals such as lithium, chromium and vanadium.  Make sure that along with your macro minerals you also supplement your diet with trace minerals.

Hemp Seed Oil

The World Health Organization has recognized hemp seed oil as the only balanced source of essential fatty acids (EFAs) providing these critical fats in just the right ratio for human health.  EFAs assist in weight loss, headaches, arthritic pain and inflammation, skin disorders, immune function via glandular health, cholesterol balance, vision, and libido via hormone production.

Tests show that nearly every man over 45 has some enlargement of the prostate, probably just a consequence of aging. The gradual accumulation of nodules and cholesterol by-products causes the prostate to enlarge. Symptoms of an enlarged prostate include the need to urinate frequently (especially at night), pain, burning and difficulty in starting and stopping urination.
Saw Palmetto berries are well known for their ability to help the prostate. The extract of Saw Palmetto berries contain compounds that naturally support hormone metabolism and demonstrate impressive results in the treatment of an enlarged prostate.
Pygeum, a tall evergreen tree that grows in Africa has been used from ancient times to treat bladder and urinary tract problems. Natural Factors ProstCare is an excellent formula for the ‘waterworks’ problems faced by most men over 40 years of age.

These are different problems and need to be treated differently.  Prayer and meditation at bedtime has been shown to promote healthy sleep.  Twenty minutes of quite contemplation helps us evaluate our day, pat ourselves on the back for the good deeds and identify the areas where we need to improve and make resolutions for a better day tomorrow.  This done, the brain is more likely to shut down peacefully for the night.  Below are some other suggestions to improve sleep. You can get products and tailor-made help when you visit Super Natural Health Products on Young St. in Halifax, Nova Scotia.

5-HTP is an amino acid that promotes sleep by converting to serotonin in the brain.  5-HTP helps you fall asleep faster and wake up less often.

Melatonin is a hormone that induces and maintains sleep in both children and adults. Melatonin works best for people who are low in melatonin or fighting jet lag.

Suntheanine is a pure form of L-Theanine designed to calm the mind and promote restful sleep without being a sedative at ordinary doses.  Suntheanine works even better in combination with melatonin and 5-HTP.

A homeopathic approach is great especially for those who want to avoid drug interactions.  Dr. Reckeweg’s R 14 formula is especially suited for those suffereing from superficial sleep, mental and physical restlessness and over-activity when trying to sleep.

Restless legs are often a sign of mineral deficiency.  Blood pressure medication can cause this problem. Magnesium calms the nerves and promotes restful sleep.  Trace mineral drops work almost immediately by supplying your body with minerals that most of us are deficient in.  Simply add 20 drops of the concentrated mineral drops into a cup of water, add a few drops lemon or lime juice, stir and drink an hour before bed.  Many people have had their first restful sleep in years after trying this.  Doing yoga-like stretches are really helpful too.

If you fall asleep and wake up in a few hours bright-eyed and bushy-tailed only to find that it’s still night time, you’re only behaving the way that our ancestors where programmed for millennia. Artificial light has changed the way we sleep and work over the past century, but before electricity we used to sleep twice in a night – an early sleep after supper lasting about 4 hours, followed by a period of wakefulness and then another 3 – 4 hours of sleep.  People often planned an activity for this ‘first waking’ such as house chores, socializing, writing or making babies etc.  If the above nutritional supplements don’t help, then you may be better off planning an activity for this time of night rather than fighting it.

Steer clear of sleeping pills.  People take them to commit suicide, because they are effective in killing people.  Sleeping pills have been directly linked with cancer, suppressed immune system, depression and death. You can read about it on the website of Dr. Daniel Kripke ‘www.DarksideOfSleepingPills.com”
