  The holidays are officially over, friends. Before you know it, the summer months and bikini season will be here.

Are you ready? If you had one too many BBQ beef sandwiches and beers, it might be time to take a few days to improve your digestive health and kick those ugly toxins and bloating to the curb.

If you took a holiday vacation in a foreign country, then you really want to be sure that you detox! Who knows what you might have picked up, no matter how careful you were!

Take a look at our list of the top 10 detox teas that will cleanse the system and get you ready for this upcoming summer season!

 

  1. Yogi Rose Hibiscus Tea   detox-tea-yogi-rose

If you’ve noticed that your complexion isn’t what it used to be, this is the detox tea for you. Filled with healing green tea, rose, and hibiscus, this tea will remove toxins and leave your skin brighter and clearer than it has been!

 

  1. Kusmi Tea Detox   detox-tea-kusmi

This is perfect for just about everyone and it tastes divine! Naturally detoxing green tea with lemongrass and mate, this tea is good hot or iced. It also comes in a cute little reusable tin that you can store in your purse. Buy two and save one to use before the holidays!

 

  1. Twinings Lemon and Ginger   detox-tea-twinings-lemon

This is an oldie, but a goodie! Twinings has been serving up tea for almost 300 years, so they know what they are doing. This tea has plenty of detoxing agents with lemon and ginger root, as well as linden and blackberry leaves for extra flavor.

 

  1. BaeTea   detox-tea-bae

Trendy name, but serious detox power. If you are truly committed to detoxing, this 14 day detox treatment is for you. BaeTea has serious detoxing compounds such as senna leaf and ginger root, along with Guarana for appetite control, Oolong Wu Yi, honey, lemon, and pomegranate for intense, satisfying flavor.

 

  1. V-Tea T-Tox   detox-tea-vtea

This is another popular 14 day detox program which contains tons of super powerful detoxing agents such as nettle leaf, burdock root, dandelion, holy basil, and fenugreek seeds. This same company also sells an evening tea called “Evening Flush” that you can drink before bedtime for super deluxe cleansing. Comes with a cute little tea spoon and strainer!

 

  1. Hey Girl   detox-tea-hey-girl

This company has 4 different detox teas, depending on your problem. There are teas to energize, help you sleep better, cleanse, and generally feel better. All help to flush toxins from the body and reduce that awful bloat. All of these are jam packed with detoxing herbs such as nettle, milk thistle, senna, burdock root, and dandelion.  It’s not as sweet as some of the detox teas here, so if you like your tea on the sweet side, better skip this one.

 

  1. Magic TeaFit Organic Detox Tea   detox-tea-magictea

This tea is made in the USA in small batches, to ensure that you always get top quality tea. Despite the name, this tea does not rely on magic, but on proven detox herbs such as nettle, ginger, cardamom, dandelion and Rooibos. It also has hibiscus and cinnamon to relieve bloating and make your skin glow.

 

  1. English Tea Shop Detox Me Tea    english-tea-1

Nothing is more English than tea, so it’s no wonder that the English Tea Shop has one of the best detox teas around! Contains 20 bags of premium teas, filled with detoxing herbs such as rosemary, spearmint, fenugreek, and more. These teas are completely organic, which means they are also caffeine free.

 

  1. Total Tea Gentle Detox   detox-tea-total-gentle

If all of this detoxing sounds great, but your digestive system is pretty sensitive, this is the one for you. This detox tea has a natural anti-inflammatory blend which soothes the digestive tract while it removes toxins. This has no artificial colors or preservatives, but it does have plenty of flavor with peppermint, chamomile, and cinnamon.

 

  1. E-Z Detox Tea   detox-tea-ez

Well, the name alone gives you an idea about this tea! The company claims you will not only detox, but that you can lose 1 pound per day. It has a unique blend of ginger, eucalyptus, ginseng, lemon grass, red raspberry leaf, and tamarind which is said to help stop cravings and hunger pangs for up to 6 hours. If you want to lose weight and detox, this is a good choice. Many people say that this tea was the only one that actually made them lose weight.

As with any supplement, please check with your doctor before you consume a detox tea. Everyone is unique and your doctor is the best source of information regarding these teas and your particular health situation.

You Can Rely on These Top 10 All Natural Antibiotics This Winter!

October 9, 2016 by Tammy Robinson Leave a Comment

 

 

antibiotic-4

 

 

Antibiotics are, and have been, a lifesaving medicine for millions. Unfortunately, the overuse or incomplete use of antibiotics has now created bacteria that are resistant to all known types of antibiotics.

This means that, once again, unless we develop new antibiotics, bacteria will reign supreme and people will die from simple infections.

You can avoid these dangers by only using antibiotics when you truly need them and by consuming all of the medication your doctor gives you.

You can also avoid these dangers by using nature’s antibiotics whenever possible.

Of course we aren’t suggesting that these are better than or even equal to prescription antibiotics, but many times these natural foods, spices, and oils will do the job.

Want to know more? Keep reading and find out which are the top 10 antibiotics given to us by Mother Nature.

 

  1. Garlic   antibiotics-garlic

This is perhaps the most common and most used all natural antibiotic. Simple, everyday cloves of garlic contain antifungal, antiviral, and antibiotic compounds. Garlic needs to be crushed or cut in order to release these compounds, however. So be sure to add plenty of garlic to whatever you are cooking to keep yourself healthy, even if it won’t get you voted Most Kissable!

 

  1. Echinacea   antibiotics-echinacea

Native Americans have used this flowering plant for eons. It can treat bacterial infections, wounds, and keeps the immune system working properly. You can use Echinacea creams to treat many skin problems and stop infections. You can also take supplements to fight off internal bacterial or viral infections or to simply keep your immune system working at its best, drink a cup or two of Echinacea tea each day during the flu season.  Please note that those who have immune disorders should avoid this supplement.

 

  1. Honey   antibiotics-honey

This is a sweet remedy that has been used for hundreds of years! Honey contains antimicrobial, antiseptic, and anti-inflammatory compounds. Before bandages or antibiotics, honey was often applied to skin wounds to prevent infections, as well as being used as a face wash to prevent breakouts. Always use raw, organic honey for best results.

 

  1. Turmeric   antibiotics-turmeric

Used in Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine for centuries, turmeric is a super anti-inflammatory with antibiotic compounds that not only destroy bacteria, but encourage the body to use its own natural defenses to heal itself.  You can consume fresh turmeric via food or tea, take supplements, or mix turmeric powder with honey and milk for a super antibiotic potion!

 

  1. Oil of Oregano   antibiotic-oil-of-oregano

A chemical compound in oregano oil, called carvacrol, is such a powerful antibiotic that it has been known to work in cases where antibiotic resistant bacteria refused to budge! You can mix a few drops of this healing oil in water to bathe wounds, help stop skin problems, treat foot or toenail infections, and much more! For cough or flu symptoms, add a few drops to a pot of boiling water and breathe in the healing steam.

 

  1. Olive Leaf Extract   antibiotics-olive-leaf-extract

Olive leaves have good antimicrobial benefits, as well as a natural anti-inflammatory action. You can consume this one via supplements, or make your own tincture for external use by filling a jar with fresh olive tree leaves and covering them with vodka. Leave in a dark place for 4 to 6 weeks, then strain out the leaves. This makes a terrific wash to cleanse wounds or cuts.

 

  1. Goldenseal   antibiotic-goldenseal

This is another herb that has been used by the Native People of America for centuries. It works well for both internal and external bacterial infections and activates the white blood cells of the body so they can fight infections naturally. This is very powerful medicine, however, and should only be taken for 3 or 4 weeks at a time. You can take supplements or make a tea from fresh leaves and flowers. Be careful if you harvest this plant wild, however, as it is on the endangered list due to over harvesting. Consider growing your own!

 

  1. Ginger   antibiotic-ginger

You might already know that ginger is a natural way to stop nausea and vomiting, but did you know that it can also help to stop food borne bacteria, such as salmonella? Drinking ginger tea after each meal ensures not only proper digestion, but will kill any unwanted bacteria and pathogens in your food.

 

  1. Neem   antibiotics-neem

Sometimes called Indian Lilac, neem is another powerful plant that fights bacteria without the bacteria building up a resistance to it. Neem oil is the perfect answer for oral problems such as gingivitis and bad breath. You can also use the leaves or powder to take care of most skin problems.

 

  1. Grapefruit Seed Extract   antibiotics-grapefruit-seed-extract

These tiny but powerful seeds are terrific for their antifungal, antiseptic, and antiviral compounds. Grapefruit seed extracts have been shown to be effective in fighting more than 800 types of bacteria and viruses. You might want to consider taking these supplements during the cold and flu season this winter!

It was the father of medicine, Hippocrates, who once said “Let your food be your medicine and your medicine be your food”. He was absolutely correct! Mother Nature has already provided us with almost everything we need to live a healthy, natural life; if only we would take advantage of it.

“Natural” Has Become a Meaningless and Dangerous Word

May 19, 2016 by Tammy Robinson Leave a Comment

natural 4

  Almost everyone on the planet fears death. Some more than others, of course, but no one is going headlong into it saying “Whoo Hoo! Death, yeah, that’s for me!”

You can turn away from it, you can try not to think about it, you can avoid it right up until the grim reaper is smiling in your face, but the truth of the matter is…you will die. So will I. So will everyone on this earth.

Nature is a harsh mother and she honestly doesn’t care if you find a way to survive or not.

She knows that the fittest will survive and the stupid don’t and she likes it that way.natural 6

Modern day science, while aware that they can’t fight nature or death, tries their best to keep that old bastard death at bay for as long as possible. In any way possible. They aren’t always able to but sometimes they can kick death to the curb for another 30 years. Other times, all they can buy you is a few weeks, but either way, they are doing their best to fight back against the lord of death.

Let’s be honest here. No one has ever become cancer free ( or free from any other type of terminal illness such as rheumatoid arthritis or smallpox) by “natural” means.

Wishing, wanting, and hoping to be cured “naturally” is completely understandable.  Seriously, who wants to spend weeks or months in a hospital being cut open, tubes stuck in every orifice, losing your hair or puking for hours on end?

No one wants to die or go through that, so they look for a “natural” way to fix things. Things such as teas, essential oils, a raw or vegetarian diet, taking huge quantities of vitamins, minerals, or the extracts from a wide assortment of plants.

The problem is, these solutions never work. NEVER.

Oh yes, you could go on, talking about how a friend of a friend of your second cousin’s sister in law was saved from breast cancer by drinking three gallons of raw juice each day, but without evidence, this is just another old wives tale. That meme making the rounds on FB? The one with black man who says he beat cancer with raw foods and juice? What that meme doesn’t say is that he had surgery and chemo FIRST, before turning to a raw food diet.

Of course, we understand that, for those facing a diagnosis of Stage 4 cancer, you are pretty much willing at that point to try just about anything.We are torn because while we support your right to try whatever to try to save your life, on the other hand, this only feeds the “woo” fire that causes people to believe that “natural” cures actually work.

When you look at the truth: 1. You are going to die and have limited time. 2. NO NATURAL PRODUCT HAS EVER CURED ANYONE; it become pretty clear that your money and time would be better suited to taking a nice vacation with your family and loved ones, rather than believing some documentary that has no truth in it whatsoever.

Another popular, seemingly never ending story is that vitamin B17, sometimes called laetrile, is a true “cure” for cancer, the government knows it, but has banned it because, you know, money.  Keep in mind that not one person who has ever used this vitamin, has had their life extended nor their cancer (or any other disease) cured by it. If these stories about laetrile stopping cancer were true, American’s would be flocking to Mexico by the thousands and you would hear about it. Laetrile is still available for sale there, yet, remarkably, people in Mexico still die of cancer daily.

natural 2

Those words “natural” and “organic” have come to mean a whole lot of nothing. Most people believe that their “organic” food is grown without a drop of pesticides, but this isn’t true.  And the word “natural”? It’s nothing more than a marketing ploy to get you to think that what you are using is somehow better because it came from nature. A product only needs one ingredient (such as water) to claim that it is “made from natural ingredients”.

To top it all off, you pay extra for those “natural” ingredients, some of which, while they might be natural, can kill you or cause you serious harm.

NaturalLabel-250x204

The mistake many people make is in thinking that natural is synonymous with harmless. Bears are certainly natural, but we wouldn’t go so far as to say that they were harmless. The same is true of arsenic, falling rocks, bee stings if you have an allergy, or even many herbs. Herbs such as comfrey and kava kava, often sold as “natural” products to treat insomnia or anxiety, contain compounds that can cause liver failure or liver damage.

It’s time for people to take a hard look at so called “natural” remedies and realize that, like everything else in this world, there is good and bad to be found. There are good pharmaceuticals that will improve your life, extend your life, and even save your life. There are bad ones that get found out about later on when people are injured or killed, true, but the same is true of so called natural remedies (B17).

If drinking a cup of chamomile tea in the evenings helps you to sleep, that sounds terrific! However, if you think that drinking tea from moringa oleifera trees will kill cancer, you are a victim of a con artist.

Got Migraines? We Have Solutions that Actually Work!

May 13, 2016 by Tammy Robinson Leave a Comment

migraine 2

  If you or someone you love suffers from migraines, you know how awful they can truly be. This is so much more than a tension headache and those who don’t suffer from them don’t fully understand the problem.  Why not just pop an Advil?

Migraine sufferers would give anything to simply pop a pain pill and be done with it. Unfortunately, these throbbing headaches, which often include unwanted extras such as nausea, vomiting, an extreme sensitivity to light, sound, or even movement, don’t respond to the typical over the counter pain meds.

Migraine 1

Understanding Migraines

These types of headaches are a neurobiological problem that causes both vascular and neurological changes in the brain. Those who suffer from migraines have a genetic predisposition that gives them a reduced threshold for pain within the brain, causing them to be super sensitive to certain types of stimuli that cause them intense pain.

Triggers

The trick to dealing with migraines is a multi-step approach. First, find out your triggers. Certain stimuli can bring on headaches and these stimuli can vary. The most common triggers are:

  • Sleep disruptions – Keep your hours as consistent as possible
  • Alcohol – If you get a headache within 8 hours after having even just one drink, you need to avoid alcohol. Some people find that one type of alcohol causes those problems, but not others.
  • Hormone levels – If you tend to get migraines in the days just before your period, it could be due to the natural drop in estrogen that occurs. Ask your doctor about a low-dose estrogen contraceptive.
  • Skipping meals – Fluctuations in blood sugar cause some people to experience migraines. Never go more than 3 hours without eating a bit of protein.
  • Caffeine – Some people find that consuming caffeine all day (such as coffee in the morning, a cola in the afternoon, and then a latte in the evening) tends to bring on migraines. Limit your caffeine consumption to one cup of coffee or one cola each day.

Keep a notebook and write down the things you eat and drink, anything unusual about your day, the times you go to bed and when you wake up, as well as your migraines and see if you can discover your triggers.

Serious Solutions for Migraines

  Even when you avoid your triggers, migraines can still rear their ugly heads. If you have tried prescription medications but didn’t like the way they make you feel, try some of these natural remedies that work for many people.

Cute sick dog in bed with ice pack on her head

  1. Ice

Hot showers or baths rarely work since migraines are inflammatory based. Try ice packs on the back of your neck and the side of your head where you feel the pain.

  1. CoQ10

This compound is found inside all of the body’s cells. Some studies have found that those suffering from migraines have low levels of this necessary vitamin. You can buy this supplement in all health food or natural food stores. If you are taking prescription medications, speak with your doctor first to prevent possible drug interactions.

  1. Butterbur

This is an herb that has been used for years to treat inflammation. Butterbur also improves blood flow to the brain. You will need to take this regularly to help prevent and lessen the intensity of migraines. Most people consume this in a capsule form; however, there are also teas available.

migraines 5

  1. Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin)

A common vitamin found in meat, milk, and eggs, this supplement works best when taken in combination with the other B vitamins. This simple vitamin has been shown to reduce migraine headaches within 3 months, with regular consumption. Take a good quality B complex supplement each day for a minimum of 90 days to see if this works for you.

migraine 4

  1. Acupuncture

When nothing else seems to work, acupuncture seems to provide lasting relief from migraine headaches. The British Medical Journal found in one study, which involved 401 adults, that those who received 12 acupuncture treatments over a three month period had fewer headaches, needed less medication, and made less frequent trips to the doctor.

Keep in mind that not everything works for everyone. Avoid your triggers and try some of the methods above, however, if nothing seems to work, speak to your doctor about some of the drugs available to help control your migraines, such as Triptans, beta-blockers, and Botox.

Everything You Thought You Knew about Juicing and Cleanse Programs is Wrong!

May 5, 2016 by Tammy Robinson Leave a Comment

juice 1

 

  Well folks, despite what Gwyneth Paltrow might have told you, juicing and juice cleanses have official bit the bullet.

After more than 20 years of listening to celebrities and health fanatics tout the joys of kale juice, juicing for health has (thankfully) finally come to an end.

It wasn’t the fact that Paltrow, who claimed anyone could eat healthy, even those on food stamps, (her video of which was a complete disaster)  was consuming $500 juice drinks for her breakfast (like everyone else on the planet), it wasn’t that Doug Evans, the Raw Food  Priest, convinced  investors that American’s would buy his $700 juicer (they didn’t). It’s hard to say what the actual reason was, but could it be that, over time, people just woke up to the truth.

Juice is healthy, but it isn’t everything. It won’t detox your body, it won’t keep you from becoming sick, and it won’t stop you from dying. In fact, extreme juicing is downright dangerous.

juicer

Regardless of what juicing companies will try to tell you (keep in mind that they have something to sell you, friends) the truth is that your body, just the way you are, does an excellent job of removing waste and toxic elements. Juice won’t do a damn thing; except for tasting good, causing diarrhea, and giving you nutrients without the benefit of fiber.

As a matter of survival, your body comes equipped to remove toxins all on its own. Your detox system involves the liver, the kidneys, and the colon. This trio of organs removes toxins, such as lead, pesticides, or something as dangerous as antifreeze, without any help from other foods or drinks.

Oh, those weren’t the toxins you had in mind? Which were you thinking of? Overuse of medications, such as Tylenol? Or one of the biggest toxins around…alcohol; was that the one you had in mind? Again, your liver will do this for you without any effort on your part.

If your liver quits working, you need to see a doctor ASAP. Juice will not regenerate your liver. No, not even if it has kale in it.

Now we aren’t down on juice. We like it. We drink it. We just don’t drink a gallon of it each day and believe that it is somehow doing anything more than giving us vitamins, antioxidants, and minerals. By the way, has anyone told you that your body is not a bank? You can fill a bank with money, add money to it every day and the money will pile up inside! Your body, however, only takes what it wants for the day or for that moment. Any extra nutrients (other than tiny amounts) are simply removed from the body. So, in essence, you are literally pissing your money away by drinking tons of juice every day, all day.

While drinking juice is all well and fine, selling people expensive juice mixes or juicing machines  and misleading them into thinking that they are somehow cleansing their body is not only ridiculous, it borders on fraud.

juice 5

You might have read that drinking only juice for a set number of days “allows the stomach or digestive system to rest”. Whoever said your stomach got tired?  Your eyes work every day as well, but no one is suggesting that you cover your eyes for 3 to 14 days so they can rest.

Another popular claim is that juice does not need as much stomach acid to digest. OK. And? What is the point of that? Who said that your stomach needs to make fewer enzymes in order for your body to be healthy?

The last point we would like to make here is that whomever is telling you that the body needs to remove “excess” waste from the colon, and that juice cleanses are somehow the answer to that, is nothing more than a snake oil salesperson.

Feces, as gross as it is, are a natural part of the body and are actually GOOD for the colon. In case you haven’t heard it yet, people who suffer from digestive problems might be on the verge of having those problems solved as scientists have found that transplanting healthy feces to those with digestive problems (including weight problems) actually helps!

We find poop disgusting, so to the human mind, it must be akin to poison and it must be removed. This simply isn’t the case.

 

juice 4

A couple of glasses of juice each day is a good thing. Eating the whole fruit is preferable, but if juice is your thing, by all means, enjoy it! We are not denying that a glass of fresh juice is better for you than those Frappuccinos. Just don’t think that drinking juice will save you from the grave or save you from grave illness.
