Organic Tomato Spinach Mozzarella Whole Wheat Pizza Paired with BBQ Chicken
21st May 2012 | By Kodjo Hounnake
Everyone seems to like pizza and wings. But for many people that lead a healthy lifestyle, pizza and wings has been off limits. A healthy lifestyle includes a balance of diet, exercise, adequate sleep, and leisure time. Pizza is a family favorite that really packs a punch as it is notorious for being high in calories and packed with unhealthy fat. But in actuality, pizza is only as good as the ingredients you choose to put in it. Most fast-food restaurant chains are seemingly able to give you a good deal on your pizza order. But how are they able to sell that pizza for $9.99 or even less sometimes? To make profits, chain-stores cut cost on ingredients; for example, they use nutrient-deficient milk products rather than actual milk. So the next time you feel like eating pizza, consider which you would rather eat: store-purchased (containing questionable oil, fillers, preservatives, and imitation cheese), or homemade pizza with fresh organic ingredients?
Wings may be small but they are packed with calories. Consider this: on average, six (6) pieces of wings from a chain restaurant contain approximately 600 calories, with 360 grams coming from fat. In addition they also contain a whooping 2580 milligrams of sodium. With those mind-boggling facts, eating pizza and wings will inevitably undo your work out, and do further damage to your health.

Basic Principles of Ayurveda
9th May 2012 | By Rakesh Modi
Everything in this universe is composed of five elements. The human body is also made up of the five elements and the soul. These five elements are; Prithvi or earth, Apa or water, Tejas or fire, Vayu or air, and Akash or space.
What does it mean? The body is a muddy pond with a fire in the middle, with clouds on top and a wind blowing across! No, it doesn't mean that. It means that these five elements are the basic constituents and everything can be explained in terms of these five elements.

2nd May 2012 | By Andrea Butje
Allergies can cause headaches from the pressure of nasal congestion. Often using an essential oil inhaler can relieve this kind of a headache. Use the inhaler every 15 minutes for an hour whenever a headache starts to come on. The inhaler can also be used to ease the congestion itself.
Education, Posture And The Alexander Technique
1st May 2012 | By Richard Brennan
Listening to an educational show on the radio recently, I heard a headmaster of a school commenting that he was very concerned with the changes that he saw in children during their school years.

The Mental Health System: Missing Standards
17th April 2012 | By Mary Miller
In the field of physical medicine, there are standards that are used in determining any treatment of choice. While, clearly, there are cases where these standards are overlooked or ignored, the general idea is to find an effective treatment for any given condition. The standards involve, among other things, repeatability, reliability and effectiveness. For example, penicillin is a well-known antibiotic used in the treatment of certain Gram-positive infections.
Homeschooling And Mental Health
10th April 2012 | By Mary Miller
A few decades ago, homeschooling was primarily done for religious reasons by parents who wanted to teach their own children in order to preserve their religious beliefs and cultures. Today, Homeschooling is far more widespread and with good reason. In my opinion, Homeschooling is one of the few pathways parents can take when they wish to preserve the mental and emotional well-being of their children.
Introduction To Parenting With Aromatherapy Basics
4th April 2012 | By Monika Meulman
Aromatherapy is a popular complementary therapy that smells wonderful to boot. Many people I talk to still don’t realize that aromatherapy is the use of essential oils for all kinds of disorders and imbalances in the body. It's not just about smelling good! After all, using a rich, complex blend of essential oils for treating Athlete's foot is going to do you no good if you smell it. However, when applied directly to the toes, it works wonders.

SCHOOL "DAZE": Reclaiming Your Natural Self (Part Two)
2nd March 2012 | By Mary Miller
Last week, I was walking my nine-year-old black cocker spaniel. A woman came out of her house to admire his coat and to tell me about her Poodle, Curls. Curls was once a black, fluffy poodle with a beautiful coat. Two years ago Curls was burnt by a razor in the process of being groomed.
When Is It A Good Time To See Your Chiropractor?
24th February 2012 | By Natural Cures News
The question we should be asking is "when isn't it a good time to see a chiropractor?". Most people only visit a chiropractor following a car accident, a sports injury or after injuring themselves at work. It is important to know that chiropractic medicine offers so much more than pain relief!

Could Your Illness or Disease Be Due To Mercury Poisoning?
17th February 2012 | By Dr. Diane Meyer
Going from doctor to doctor and hearing "It's your hormones honey," made me want to scream! As an educated person, degreed in Psychology and Dentistry, I knew there were answers I wasn't getting.
The many doctors I consulted with were stymied, as my persistent and chronic symptoms were so varied. Having no connection with one another, they did not know what to call my illness. Grappling with various labels, and unable to identify a cause, the symptoms were classified as idiopathic.

Liver Cleanse Day Five
10th January 2012 | By Lee Kenny
Back to work for Day 5 and it was much easier than yesterday and flew by without hunger or discomfort. As I mentioned previously, if you are going to do this 5 day cleanse, start on a Monday and your chance of enjoying the cleanse will skyrocket.
Liver Cleanse Day Four
9th January 2012 | By Lee Kenny
Day 4 was the toughest so far, but by no means hard. If I would have done one thing differently it would be to definitely start on a Monday! The good Dr. recommends as such in his book and I would concur. It is not that temptation was higher, it is just that having 9 hours mapped out of your day before you start, assuming you work or study full-time, just makes things so much easier.
Liver Cleanse Day Three
8th January 2012 | By Lee Kenny
As day three of the 5-day liver cleanse starts I can stress enough the role that good planning plays in a successful cleanse. It is often said that "failing to prepare" is in fact "preparing to fail" and like any diet or cleanse this is no different. If you are attempting to do a liver cleanse here's just some of the things you need to plan or purchase:
Liver Cleanse Day Two
7th January 2012 | By Lee Kenny
Some people have asked me why I am doing the Liver Cleanse. Is it a diet? Is it a reaction to Christmas/New Year? There are many answers but I think a phrase I heard from Kevin Trudeau on a hike in early December sums it up. "You have to invest in yourself and particularly your health". Often when you find a career or activity you love, it can consume your time and energy.
Liver Cleanse Day One
6th January 2012 | By Lee Kenny
Having committed to a Liver cleanse, the first question is obviously which one to choose and how long should I do it for?
I chose the Dr Shultze 5-Day Liver Cleanse which also works on the gall bladder ($79). I figure as a first cleanse of the year, this is not too extreme and 5 days should be a cinch. Included is Herbal Tea, L-GB formula, Detox formula and breath drops.
Happy New Year
5th January 2012 | By Lee Kenny
Firstly, Happy New Year to all the Natural Cures members and readers. I truly hope it will be your best year ever in terms of health and prosperity!
As long-time NaturalCures.Com members will know, since taking over as CEO I've committed to trying to achieve everything in chapter 6 of the New York Times #1 Best-Selling Natural Cures They Don't Want You To Know About. At last count there were almost 140 suggestions as to how to never get sick and I was surprised to start the role having done 40 or so of those including switching to Organic food through to Colonics (5 and counting!)
Achieving Perfect Health by Aligning and Activating the Spinal Nerves
22nd December 2011 | By Dr. Ray Lala
Where do you start on your road to health? These days there is a maze of traditional practitioners as well as non-traditional modalities, such as accupuncture, osteopathic, chiropractic, and a myriad of body energy workers. My answer is that you start at the beginning because these modalities will not work as long as the body's spine is not aligned and activated.
Self Worth: A Key To Your Mental Health
19th December 2011 | By Mary Miller
In the late 1970's, I joined with a group of educators and psychotherapists to find new, unchartered pathways to mental and emotional health. It seemed to us then, as it does now, that talking in the form of counseling has severe limitations. Talking can be very comforting if you find a therapist who genuinely likes you and enjoys your company. And truly that experience can be priceless.
10 Candida Myths
11th December 2011 | By Dr. Jeff McCombs
#1 - Only women get candida infections
Candida Albicans is commonly considered to be a yeast infection that only women get. It is in fact a fungal infection caused by antibiotic use that affects both men and women. Research states that over 90% of the population might have systemic candida.
Aspartame: More Unsavoury Side Effects
04th December 2011 | By Dr. Theresa Dale
Here's another great article on the dangers of Aspartame. These appear pretty regularly in newsletters and online simply because it is probably the 2nd most dangerous thing to your health right now (after prescription & non-prescription drugs). Print these articles off, send the links to friends and family and hope and pray that they get the message to avoid this terrible health hazard.
Supplements: The Hidden Ingredient Scam
15th November 2011 | By Dr. Theresa Dale
If you are ingesting supplements to create a healthier body and mind, you need to know the facts about the supplement manufacturing process and labeling codes. Are your supplements healthy or toxic? Did you know that the binders, fillers, heavy metals and flow agents in your supplements are harmful?

Turbulent Times for Natural Healthcare in Europe: Will the USA Follow?
19th October 2011 | By Dr. Robert Verkerk
The history of natural healthcare in the modern Western world is a troubled one, marked by constant struggles with orthodox medicine for its identity and survival. Ever since the pharmaceutical-led, allopathic model was granted a virtual monopoly in the US and Europe, natural healthcare has been a fringe concern in mainstream medicine.
Guilt: Setting yourself free!
25th July 2011 | By Mary Miller
Do you feel guilty when you do something to take care of yourself? Do you hesitate to invest time, money and energy in your own well-being? Do you wait until you are desperate before asking for help? Guilt is one the most common, most powerful and most debilitating human conditions. As a former psychotherapist, I can say that personal guilt was the topic of many a session. From what I could see, more people suffer from guilt than they do from the common cold.
Toxicity levels of all Hormone Replacement documented
22nd July 2011 | By Dr. Theresa Dale
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT), whether natural or synthetic, is based on the incorrect assumption that your body becomes incapable of producing appropriate amounts of hormones simply because we reach a certain age. Your body does alter its hormone production as you pass through the stages of your life, but hormone problems are a function of how healthy you are, not how old you are. This myopic viewpoint has caused thousands of deaths due to HRT causing cancer.
Protective Behavior Patterns: Breaking free of barriers to healthy living
12th July 2011 | By Mary Miller
All of us have protective behavior patterns. Some are more costly to our well-being than others. All drain us of our valuable resources needed to achieve a happy and satisfying life. Protective behavior patterns are developed in the first ten years of life in response to adverse conditions in our families, schools and neighborhoods.
Epigenetics, emotions and healing disease
11th July 2011 | By Dr. Theresa Dale
Have you ever heard someone say, "I'm sick and tired..."? They probably are, or will be! Chronic heightened emotional states create a perfect breeding ground for illness. In was through my practice with thousands of people that I noted the increasingly obvious relationship between one’s mental focus on negative thinking, emotions, resistance to experiencing feelings and disease.
