Foot reflexology pressure points map

Healthy Nutrition & Natural Medicine News

This is a reflexology foot pressure points map.
This alternative healing technique is good for treating and/or relieving many health conditions such as headaches, nausea, fever and it is also considered an effective means of relieving mental stress, anxiety and depression.

 I find the picture of foot reflexology pressure points useful for reference. It is interesting to notice that the big toe has a pressure point that connects to the pineal gland - maybe massaging that pressure point of the big toe regularly can stimulate or activate the function of the pineal gland better.

Foods that Feed The Pineal Gland

I just read an interesting health article on foods that feed the pineal gland or the third eye. It is helpful to know how certain foods (as well as sunlight) can expand the function and energy of the pineal gland, which in turn can determine the expansion of our psychic awareness. Maybe the ancients know the power of being exposed to sunlight as part of their expansion of psychic awareness, hence some of them worship the sun or spend time basking and meditating under the sun.

On the other hand, the article concludes by saying serotonin is just as important, so yea, sleeping in a dark environment helps nourish the pineal gland as well. I have read similar articles on this, and nowadays when I wake up in the morning to go to washroom, I would take care not to switch on the lights - my eyes would have adjusted well to the darkness and I would be able to make my way to the washroom and back to my bedroom. It is to help my brain to produce enough serotonin (as well as melatonin), because I read that sudden exposure to light at night can stop the production of these chemicals/hormones.

http://www.wikihow.com/Improve-Your-Beauty-Sleep

"Sleep in complete darkness or as close as possible. If there is even the tiniest bit of light in the room it can disrupt your circadian rhythm and your pineal gland's production of melatonin and seratonin. There also should be as little light in the bathroom as possible if you get up in the middle of the night. Please whatever you do, keep the light off when you go to the bathroom at night. As soon as you turn on that light you will for that night immediately cease all production of the important sleep aid melatonin."

http://www.imfaceplate.com/articles/health/turn-out-the-lights-and-let-melatonin-lull-you-to-sleep
"When you do go to bed, make your bedroom as dark as possible. Get dark drapes to block out street lights or other outside lights. If you can't do this, you may even want to try wearing a sleep mask. This will help the pineal start to convert the serotonin in your brain into melatonin."

It is also interesting to learn that certain foods such as seaweed vegetables can nourish the pineal gland. I think miso soup usually contains seaweed vegetables. Earlier this morning, I ate two bananas for  breakfast, and incidentally the article you shared with me says bananas produce serotonin which also feed the pineal gland. Great to know that.

Teen Who Ran From Chemo 18 Years Ago Now Cancer-Free

Best changed his diet, stopped eating red meat, white flour, sugar, substituted soy for dairy and brown rice for white rice. He also incorporated plenty of organic vegetables and filtered water into his diet.

In addition to supplements and vitamin C, he began drinking Essiac herbal tea. But perhaps the biggest and most controversial aspect of his self-designed regime included 714-X, a Canadian immune-system injection that he says saved his life.

This is indeed a wonderful and encouraging testimony. it is all about changing the environment in the body - through deep breathing, eating alkaline food and avoiding acidic food, and having a strong immune system through minimising stress and practising meditation, yoga and so on.

Rethinking Creativity and Depression

Questioning the mood – creativity link
"A number of writers and psychologists are questioning the validity of the long history of associating depression with creativity."

I also have come to see that creative writers and artists tend to be more in tune and in touch with their feelings, hence these feelings, whether happiness or sadness, are captured and reflected strongly in their creative works. Vincent van Gogh's paintings and Beethoven's music come to mind as fine examples of their creativity and genius being closely connected to their moments of intense moods of melancholy. Yes, it is unfortunate that medical science has largely misunderstood this aspect of human experience and label such melancholy as clinical depression, when actually this aspect is part of normal human psychology that is closely connected to creativity and artistry. The psalmists, for example, had written some of the most moving and expressive psalms during the dark moments of their sadness, exploring the inner depths of their being, deep calling unto deep, such as Psalm 42 and Psalm 88.

Ed McCabe: Flood Your Body With Oxygen [1of4]

Video commentary:
McCabe: Everybody gets sick eventually. Here's why. In the process of creating all these conveniences and marketplace choices, we have made a lot of bad choices and let our daily air and water become polluted, and this pollution has increasingly been collecting inside us. Also, our mass-produced processed foods are grown on mega-farm soils that are de-mineralized and also lacking natural oxygen. These two major conditions are chronically hampering our ability to get and absorb enough fresh oxygen inside us at the cellular level. This chronic low oxygen condition that we all have causes our cellular oxygen levels to drop so our blood becomes more and more polluted.

Dirty blood sets the stage for all the diseases. Because we all have this condition, our health officials tell us it is 'normal' to have dark brown-purplish blood. Is it 'normal' that so many are sick? The increasing rates of viral infections and cancers are not by coincidence. The proof of this can easily be seen by looking at your own blood with specialized darkfield microscopes. You will be amazed what you find there. Our too-low cell oxygen levels encourage toxic buildups and the growth of anaerobic (can't live in active oxygen) microbes such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and other pathogens inside us and inside our animals and pets, and in our plants.

Anaerobes and toxicity slowly building up and overtaking us until we break down are the ultimate cause of most human, animal, and plant health problems as well as being the precursors to the whole list of 'incurable' diseases.

Flood Your Body With Oxygen lists piles of historical and modern studies proving active oxygen's effectiveness, showing its 50-year prolific use internationally, and revealing the top quality documentation proving its safety. Lists of doctors, Naturopaths, clinics, products, and contacts are included. Flood Your Body With Oxygen is written in a lively conversational style for everyone with a body.

What Is Cancer? A Shocking Truth...

 I think this video is useful as it explains simply what cancer is and how to prevent cancer cells from multiplying by improving the body environment (breathing deeply to increase oxygen, avoiding acidic food and eating more alkaline food, and keep mind free from stress through meditating, watching funny movies, avoid news about horrible things going on in the world, reading inspirational books, etc).

According to the video:

Cancer is natural. It is the natural evolution of cells of the body. When cells change, it is part of adaptation. As we adapt successfully in response to changing environments, evolution happens! Cells mutate to adapt to changing environments.

Cancer cells are groups of cells mutating in an unnatural environment. Unless the environment is changed, more cells will mutate, sooner or later. It's just how they survive in a toxic environment. So even if patients go through chemotherapy to destroy the cancer cells, and if they remain in a toxic environment, cells will mutate again. Cancer is really the evolution of a group of cells who try to survive in a very toxic environment - they have to mutate or else they will die.
 

Three simple solutions to change or improve the environment (to make it more conducive for the cells and prevent them from mutating further)
- breathe deeply (because cancer cells thrive in low oxygen environment) for example, every morning, take 5 minutes walk and breathe deeply from the abdomen - breathe in 4 counts and breathe out 4 counts)
- stop eating acidic stuff (mutated cells thrive in acidic environment and die in alkaline environment) - avoid sugar, pop, soda, coffee, milk, etc. Eat more raw green leafy vegetables, fruits, alkaline water, coconut water,
- keep your mind as stress-free as possible, eg practise meditation, watch comedies or funny movies, avoid news and the horrible things going on in our lives/world, reading inspirational books, etc.

One interesting thing shared in the video is that it recommends coconut water, among other alkaline food/drinks. I found that science is also starting to recognise more and more the health benefits of coconut water.

http://downthecancerroad.blogspot.com/2010/01/coconut-water-good-for-you.html

Coconut water contains organic compounds possessing healthy growth promoting properties that have been known to help

1. Keep the body cool and at the proper temperature.
2. Orally re-hydrate your body, it is an all natural isotonic beverage.
3. Carry nutrients and oxygen to cells.
4. Naturally replenish your body's fluids after exercising.
5. Raise your metabolism.
6. Promote weight loss.
7. Boost your immune system.
8. Detoxify and fight viruses.
9. Cleanse your digestive tract.
10. Control diabetes.
11. Aid your body in fighting viruses that cause the flu, herpes, and AIDS.
12. Balance your PH and reduce risk of cancer.
13. Treat kidney and urethral stones.
14. Boost poor circulation.

Non-meat sources of proteins

I learnt that besides soy, other non-meat sources of proteins include nuts and milk (not sure if you are allergic to nuts or lactose tolerant though - perhaps goat milk can be a good substitute).

This website says the following vegetables contain high protein "Beans of all kinds, lentils, asparagus, broccoli, seaweeds; variety is important and quantity." http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_vegetables_contain_high_protein

Eggs and yogurts can be good sources of protein too. http://www.weightlossforall.com/protein_content_from_good_source.htm

"Spinach is an inexpensive vegetable that contains protein and carbohydrates. According to The Daily Plate, 4 cups of spinach contain 3 g of carbohydrates and 2 g of protein. Because spinach contains 20 calories per serving, it may be an effective source of protein and carbohydrates for dieting. Spinach contains 2 g of fiber per serving, which promotes feelings of fullness. In addition, spinach contains vitamins A and C, folic acid and magnesium, among other nutrients."

Natural remedies for liver hemangioma

Based on what I have learnt so far from various health articles, what can be done for liver hemangioma is to keep the liver functioning at its optimal condition so that it remains benign and hopefully disappear by itself over time, as mentioned in some cases.


As suggested by the Liver Doctor and Natural News websites, the important thing is to have a strong functioning immune system, which comes from having a strong functioning liver by taking excess workload off the liver through:
(1) customised liver diet
(2) good night sleep.

(1) Customised liver diet
In summary, the liver diet would include beets, raw vegetable juices, tofu (natural bean curd), miso soup, bokchoy (chinese cabbage), fresh fruit, vegetable salad, and drinking two litres of water (about 8 glasses) daily.

The diet will also exclude margarines, deep fried and fatty foods, limiting chicken and turkey (which may contain artificial growth hormones, antibiotics and steriods), overly processed food and processed sugar and artificial sweeteners.


(2) Good night sleep
As for good night sleep, the Natural News website recommends sleeping from 11pm to 7am (about 8 hours), as follows:

"Overnight from 11 pm until 3 am the energy is strongest in the gall bladder and liver. These organs cleanse the blood and control sleep."
