Homeopathic Remedy for Herpes

Monday, June 23rd, 2008

Introducing a new homeopathic remedy for herpes:


New Help for Genetal Herpes:

An estimated one in four adults suffers from genetal herpes. Now, there is a herpes remedy emerging from the homeopathic medicine community that offers welcome relief for herpes sufferers.

I’ve always felt that homeopathic remedies were particularly safe and often more effective than even some prescription drug solutions. This homeopathic remedy for herpes is soundly based on principals of homeopathy.

The ingredients in this formula have been utilized, separately or in some form of conbination, by homeopaths to treat single symptoms of oral and genetal herpes for many years. However, it is the synergistic blend of these ingredients that makes a potent difference in this homeopathic remedy for herpes.

Here’s a partial list of the homeopathic antiherpetic ingredients:

Rhus tox: Helps to reduce the inflammation and itching of a genetal herpes outbreak
Apis Mellifica: Provides welcome relief from the burning pain, stinging sensations and the swelling of a genetal herpes outbreak
Baptista (Wild Indigo): Particularly useful in oral herpes
Capsicum (Cayenne Pepper): For effective pain relief
Nitricum Acidum (Nitric Acid): Helps reduce the spreading of a genetal herpes outbreak and helps to heal the cracking that can occur as blisters dry.
Pyrogenium: Helps abscesses to heal more rapidly

Carcinogens in Organic Skin Care

Sunday, March 30th, 2008


Organic skincare scrutinized by The Organic Organic Consumers Association. Carcinogenic ingredients found in leading brands

Except for any noted source material, content copyright, Neva. J. Howell, all rights reserved

I buy organic whenever I can. It matters to me that the food I eat and the products I use in my home and on my body are the purest available. In the interest of informing others who might have similar interests, I am posting information on a new report on carcinogens in organic skin care and beauty products:

I’ve used some of the organic skincare and hair products brands that are listed in this report on carcinogens in organic skincare report presented by the Organic Consumers Association. I’ve used JASON Pure Natural & Organic, which is on the list for containing a carcinogen called 1,4-Dioxane. I’ve also used Kiss My Face, which apparently contains 1,4-Dioxane as well.

What is 1,4-Dioxane and why do some organic beauty care manufacturers using it?

1,4-Dioxane is a by-product created when companies create their products through a money-saving process called Ethoxylation, to reduce the harshness of some ingredients. Ethoxylation results in the production of an ingredient called Ethylene Oxide which then offsprings the byproduct that is in the news, the carcinogen 1,4-Dioxane. This ingredient is listed as a known carcinogen and is additionally suspected of being toxic to the kidneys, the respiratory system and the neurosystem.

Which organic products do not contain this carcinogen?
You can see the full list on the website. I was happy to see one of my favorites, Dr. Bronners, was on the carcinogen-free list. A few others were
Aubrey Organics, Terressentials and the Nourish brand Sensibility Soaps.

Many of you have been drinking Himalayan Goji Juice for several years - now with the launch of GoChi , the power of the Goji Berry has been captured in an even more potent form. A randomized, double- blind, placebo controlled study has shown 13 positive benefits from drinking GoChi.

These include Less fatigue, improved athletic performance, increased energy, reduction of stress, feeling calmer, increased ability to focus sharper mental acuity, better quality of sleep, easier ability to wake up, feeling healthier, feeling more content, feeling happier and bowel regularity.

This Gochi product is sold through MLM distributors and I’m not one of them but the site that sent me the info is, so I’m including their website. They don’t have it listed there but you can contact them once you get to the site, and ask for more info on Gochi.

Delicious Healthy Organic Recipes

Wednesday, February 20th, 2008

Healthy and delicious, these organic food recipes are sure to please those who love healthy eating

Except for any noted source material, content copyright, Neva. J. Howell, all rights reserved

I eat organic foods whenever I can get them. In rural Alabama, that’s sometimes a trick. I grew up thinking that, because almost everyone had a garden and grew their own vegetables that I was eating healthy but have since learned about toxic pesticides that negate that homegrown nutrition myth, at least for me.

I do not have an organic foods store nearby so I’m grateful that Ingle’s supermarkets carry a little organic produce and some organic options in canned goods and snacks. I hope this trend continues.

Anyway, I fully support online companies that sell organic foods and products and this one, called E3 Live, has a wonderful list of delicious recipes you can try out.

They all call for E3 Live ingredients and if you don’t already have a source for organic health products you could see what they have to offer or substitute other ingredients.

Their mouth-watering recipes include salsa, almond milk (easier to make than I would have thought and so healthy - Edgar Cayce sometimes suggested eating almonds as a cancer preventative), raw coconut chewies and a wide range of healthy smoothies including their
E3 Ginger Zing Smoothie, Strawberry Banana Choco Smoothie and Melon and Mint Smoothie. Oh yum, I can taste one now!

Fucothin Fat Burner

Friday, February 8th, 2008

What is fucothin and why is it different than other fat burners? Can fucothin (primary active ingredient being concentrated amounts of fucoxanthin) help you lose weight safely?



Fucothin Fat Burner Information

Tips for healthy weight loss
Caution about diet pills
The Truth About Body Wraps

I just read about a new fat burner called fucothin, which is a concentrated source of fucoxanthin (a naturally occuring substance in brown seaweed).

The research on fucothin indicates that those who use it lose weight faster than the placebo group in the same double-blind studies, losing an average of 14.5 lbs in 16 weeks.

What impressed me more than the weight loss were the other properties of this concentrated fucoxanthin and pomegrante, which included:

1. The promotion of normal cardiovascular function

2. Support for healthy liver function

3. Support for healthy C-reactive protein levels and healthy anti-inflammatory response

(This one was of particular interest due to my own feelings about chronic inflammation being an underlying cause of many illness. read more about chronic inflammation as a factor in disease


4. The maintaining of healthy triglyceride / cholesterol levels

5. The maintaining of health blood pressure levels.

I contacted the company that makes fucothin , Garden for Life, and requested more information on this product. If what I read is as impressive as what I’ve found online, I may give it a try and do a product review here afterwards. If you want to be notified of future info on fucothin or other subject on my blog, just subscribe! Update…..got the info but nothing new there. Just have to read what’s on the website and on the web.

It should be noted that brown seaweed has long been studied for health benefits and that there are other products containing fucoxanthin out there besides this one. What is said to be different about fucothin is the concentration of fucoxanthin the manufacturers have been able to gather into this fat burner formula, due to some pretty high-tech photobioreacters and large cultivation tanks filled with pristine seawater that greatly concentrates the amount of fucoxanthin that is actually contained within the brown seaweed itself.

ps. It may also be of interest to different people and for different reasons that Jordan Rubin is the founder of Garden of Life. Jordan is well-known and well-respected in the fundamental Christian community for his books on health that are based on biblical principles.

Just checked for Fucothin on amazon and they have it, of course. They have the retail price at $49.95 but had it on sale there for $34.99 when I visited. On the official Fucothin website, there appears to be no way to order online so if you are looking for Fucothin, they do offer a store locator and I’ve also added an order link from amazon below, for convenience. If you scroll down on the amazon order page, you can also read some user results that have been posted. Oddly, Fucothin seems to affect urine smell and cause discomfort in some. I can understand the odor, given that Fucothin is made from seaweed and that might impart some kind of different odor to the urine but not sure what would make it cause burning sensation……might be something to watch if you take it.

Mangosteen Juice for Inflammation

Friday, February 8th, 2008

Internal Inflammation is now being widely considered as a major underlying factor in all disease. How do we calm the inflammation response?



Mangosteen Juice for Inflammation
Except for any noted source material, content copyright, Neva. J. Howell, all rights reserved

I’ve recently come across information about the body’s natural inflammation response and how that can get out of hand, causing internal inflammation throughout the body that can impact health in a wide range of ways.

The symptoms of chronic inflammation are so numerous that they just about include every condition from Asthma to Vaginitis but one of the most common, persistent symtoms is Joint pain and stiffness. Even though joint stiffness and joint pain is a rather noticable symptom of internal inflammation, there are other less noticable and more serious repercussions to having an overactive inflammation response, including heart stress and organ stress. In other words, internal inflammation might be a contributing factor underlying just about any condition, rather than being just a symptom of that condition.

If you think about it, anything that is swollen and inflamed cannot function as well as that same limb or organ without the inflammation.

Diets that are way out of balance with Omega 6 fatty acids vs. Omega 3’s tend to produce more inflammation than the body needs so looking into dietary changes that correct that imbalance are important, and that’s for another article.

Additional Mangosteen Juice Benefits:


In this little health tip, I’d just like to mention Mangosteen Juice for helping the body with internal inflammation. Of course, that’s not the only health benefit to Mangosteen Juice. It has a wide range of vitamins and minerals, for example, including B vitamins (1,2 and 6) and vitamin C as well as potassium, calcium and other minerals. Mangosteen Juice is also very high in antioxidants and Xanthones, which show promise for reducing cholesterol and atherosclerosis.

However, it is the effect Mangosteen has on inflammation that has most impressed me personally. I actually don’t see that talked about as much as the other qualities and, to me, it may be the most important benefit. If you suffer with joint stiffness, why not check out Mangosteen Juice?

Other natural anti-inflammatories include tumeric (which I’ve also used and found effective), boswellia, bioflavinoids, ginger, MSM (I’ve used and found effective), glucosamine (which I’ve also used and which did not agree with me at all) and Omega-3’s.

Of course, there are prescription drug anti-inflammatories too including NSAID’s like Motrin and Advil and and COX-2 inhibitors like Celebrex and Vioxx but these are not without serious potential side effects and risk.

There is a also a medically recognized blood test called C-reactive protein test, or CRP for short, that can measure levels of inflammation in the body and diagnose internal inflammation so it’s wonderful to have a medical test that can definitely confirm this condition.
