Living Fully Nourished

Very often, people that are conscious of the side effects of conventional medicines turn to natural medicine to treat their illnesses.
I think that naturopathy and herbology is a much better option than chemical medicines; but we must be aware that herbs may produce some side effects, too.

It is very well known that health can be adversely affected by stress. The “fight-or-flight” response inhibits the immune system, the digestive system and the elimination system, which leads to an increase of toxemia, one of the main causes of hypersensitivities according to the Hygienism approach.

If you have sun sensitivity, maybe removing animal proteins can be the solution. Based on my experience, people that eat meat and fish has some kind of sun sensitivity in different degrees, that goes from just needing sun glasses to quickly being sunburnt when exposed to the sun for a little time. On the other hand, vegetarian people don’t need sunglasses, even for driving; they have a strong resistance against sunburn, and they can easily bear the heat of the sun.

Although we don’t know exactly what is the cause of cramps, it is usual to recommend the supplementation of magnesium or the intake of food that is rich in this mineral in order to treat and prevent cramps.
But magnesium supplementation has some side effects, and food rich in magnesium is not very effective.
In this article I suggest another option that addresses the origin of the lack of magnesium, and consequently, cramps.

Cholesterol level is one of the most usual blood tests, and reaching certain age, the level often exceeds the normal range.
Doctors recommend to adopt certain nutritional mesures and more physical activity, but if it is not effective enough to get the levels down, they recommend to take statins.
It is admitted that statins have some associated side effects, such as muscle, liver and neurologic damage, and an increase of blood sugar and type 2 diabetes. But because the severity of the adverse effects associated to a high cholesterol rate, such as heart attack or embolism, it is argued that the benefits of this medicine overweight the drawbacks.
Is there not any other solution besides statins to control the cholesterol? What is the reason why some people have high cholesterol?
