Cancer Is Serious Business

Burzynski, the Movie is the story of a medical doctor and Ph.D biochemist named Dr. Stanislaw Burzynski who won the largest, and possibly the most convoluted and intriguing legal battle against the Food & Drug Administration in American history.



When Antineoplastons are approved, it will mark the first time in history a single scientist, not a pharmaceutical company, will hold the exclusive patent and distribution rights on a paradigm-shifting medical breakthrough.

A banana a day keeps the doctor away!


 
BANANAS

Containing three natural sugars - sucrose, fructose and glucose combined with fiber, a banana gives an instant, sustained and substantial boost of energy. Research has proven that just two bananas provide enough energy for a strenuous 90-minute workout.

No wonder the banana is the number one fruit with the world's leading athletes. But energy isn't the only way a banana can help us keep fit. It can also help overcome or prevent a substantial number of illnesses and conditions, making it a must to add to our daily diet.

DEPRESSION: According to a recent survey undertaken by MIND amongst people suffering from depression, many felt much better after eating a banana. This is because bananas contain tryptophan, a type of protein that the body converts into serotonin, known to make you relax, improve your mood and generally make you feel happier.

The Five Elements and Yin and Yang

The fundamental energies alive in nature and always in motion are the Five-Elements - Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water.

The Five-Element Theory states that the five major Organ Systems (Liver/Gallbladder, Heart/Small Intestine, Spleen/Stomach, Lung/Large Intestine, and Kidney/Urinary Bladder) are each related to a particular element.
Each element generates, or gives energy to, another. Each element also restrains or controls another.

TCM understands that everything is composed of two complementary energies; one energy is Yin and the other is Yang. They are never separate; one cannot exist without the other. This is the yin/yang principle of interconnectedness and interdependence; it is not oppositional.

According to the Theory of Yin and Yang, male is yang; female is yin.
Ideally, yin and yang should always remain in harmony, not just in balance.

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is an ancient medical system that takes a deep understanding of the laws and patterns of nature and applies them to the human body.

I've had a vast interest in TCM for many years but then the Western Medicine took over in the form of surgeries and lots of medication. It is only now almost a year after my last surgery that I am facing the fact that I no longer can take any antibiotics!
The last few times the doctors prescribed antibiotics I went into anaphylactic shock and let me tell you it is not nice!

Anaphylaxis or anaphylactic shock is a life-threatening reaction that can affect a number of organs at the same time.  Allergic shock is caused by dilated and "leaky" blood vessels, which result in a drop in blood pressure. 

Some or all of the following symptoms may occur:
  • Hives or reddish discoloration of the skin
  • Nasal congestion
  • Swelling of the throat
  • Stomach pain, nausea, vomiting
  • Shortness of breath, wheezing
  • Low blood pressure or shock
I had all the above symptoms and collapsed which is why I am looking into TCM again now because my anaphylaxis was caused by antibiotics.

So to get myself back to health after a shocking flu season I am looking into TCM to see what I can take to get my immune system back to functioning properly.
