Overview of the practice of Naturopathic Medicine

We are all at risk for developing many varieties of cancer. Even given the fact that there have been many technological advances in the treatment of some cancers, it is still the second leading cause of death in the United States. With the use of naturopathic therapies to compliment conventional cancer treatments, naturopathic treatment can enhance the effectiveness by improving overall health, reducing or eliminating debilitating factors that promote the growth of cancer, and improving the success of chemotherapy and radiation while reducing their side effects. Naturopathic treatment is patient specific, treatment specific, and tumor growth specific. By capitalizing on the strengths of naturopathic treatment combined with conventional medical treatment, the cancer patient can greatly improve their chances of surviving the cancer treatment, eliminate the growth and prevent future reoccurrence.

When you hear about the naturopathic or holistic HCG diet, does it makes you wonder what is it with the HCG diet that is so different from the other weight loss programs offered on the weight loss market? Is there a secret ingredient that sets it apart from the other diet trends so many people use today?

There really isn’t any secret at all to the HCG diet. The main component used for this weight loss system is the Human Chorionic Gonadotropin or HCG as it is abbreviated. This natural hormone can be found in the body of a healthy pregnant woman. A woman’s body produces the Human Chorionic Gonadotropin during the normal phases of pregnancy. Because it is natural there are no adverse effects that occur as a result of adhering strictly to the HCG diet. And men don’t be afraid, this works great for men too with no adverse effect.

HCG Diet FAQ

What is the HCG Diet?

Dr. Simeons HCG Diet, a specialist on obesity and weight regulation, introduced a program that has helped many people overcome weight loss resistance. The program utilizes a natural hormone that is produced during pregnancy called Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG). Dr. Simeons’ theory is that HCG causes the hypothalamus area of the brain to trigger a release of abnormal fat stores. When administered in relatively small doses and coupled with a very low calorie diet, people routinely lose 20 pounds in 30 days.

HCG has helped thousands of people lose those stubborn pounds. In addition to weight loss, many patients who have completed the HCG program also experienced many other health benefits, including a drop in cholesterol, blood pressure and blood sugar.

Herbs in Your Back Yard

May 16, 2011 By nmsadmin Leave a Comment

Why Herbs?

Herbs are, to me, direct evidence of God’s physical presence in our daily lives. Just as He offers forgiveness for our spiritual transgressions, herbs are His gift of physical forgiveness for our physical sins. They can restore health corrupted by our wrong choices, and ease the burden of our circumstances. I have witnessed time and again that, when herbs are needed, they are always where they are needed. (Contrary to popular belief, herbs are NOT manufactured in Utah.) In sight of woods choked with Poison Ivy, I have inevitably seen stands of Plantain or Jewelweed – Nature’s Poison Ivy “erasers”. I have marveled at sentinels of Mullein and Pleurisy Root growing along fence rows surrounding rolling tobacco fields – the unmistakable hand of God, offering forgiveness, even where man plants the poison. I am enthralled by the awesome range of healing powers offered by the humble Dandelion, and bemused by its persistent presence in the face of every effort by man to eradicate it.

(One Herbalist’s grateful opinion…)
