Aloe Vera Plant Care and Use

By yogaguid on 30th June, 2009 | No Comments

A common medicinal herb, the aloe vera plant is well known in many households across the globe. Unlike some species of plants, the aloe vera plant no longer grows in the wild. It is currently only known to live in captivity or cultivated by farmers for commercial use. This alone makes the aloe vera unique in the world of environmental sciences.

The Aloe vera plant is believed to have many properties, ranging from the soothing of burns, the promotion of faster healing to the treatment of diabetes. As the stalks include several medical compounds, including acetylated mannans, polymannans, anthraquinone C-glycosides, anthrones and anthraquinones and lectins, aloe tends to be added to a wide range of products to entice users to purchase them.

The aloe vera plant is a succulent plant, thriving in zones 8-10. It is suitable as an ornamental plant for low-water gardens, as well as indoors. Aloe does not tolerate snow or frost, dying under such conditions. For those wanting to tend to aloe vera plants in freezing conditions, it must be kept inside or in a greenhouse to prevent frost from killing it. Being a succulent, the aloe vera plant resembles cacti and other common desert plants. As it is suited for dry climates, over watering is the most common cause of death of this plant. The aloe plant should not be watered until its soil has gone dry, making it one of the easiest plants to tend, so long as you pay attention to the dirt. The soil used for potted aloe vera should be compatible with good drainage, as too much sitting water will cause root rot.

When grown at home, the aloe vera plant is typically used as a topical treatment for burns and cuts. Studies are conflicked on aloe vera affects the rate of healing. There are some indicators that the rate of healing may be dependent on the type and depth of the wound, and how it is bandaged. In some studies, healing rate is slowed from aloe vera. Aloe vera may be digested.

Despite the lack of scientific proof on the increased healing and other properties of aloe vera, it has gained a high regard by the average individual, granting the plant a place in shampoos, lotions, soaps and a wide range of cosmetics. However, the gains garnered from the presence of aloe in these products is based on belief, not on evidence|scientific evidence|research|data|proof].

The aloe vera plant is believed to have originated in Africa, with cousins of the aloe vera plant still surviving to date. There are references to aloe in the bible, which makes it one of the oldest documented species of plants known.

Electromedicine: From Historic Rife Machine To Electronic Breakthroughs By Ed Skilling

By yogaguid on 30th June, 2009 | No Comments

Today the word “Rife machine” or “Rife technology” named after Royal Rife from the 1920’s is often used as a generic term for Electromedicine Instruments that may or may not actually represent Rife technology.

Importantly, the “Rife” or frequency generator concept is now considered an outdated concept; however, it is in public domain so others are able to copy it. Many do even though it is not the latest in electromedicine technology.

Royal Rife was born in 1888.  He was educated in the fields of optics, biology, and chemistry. Rife worked on many medical research instruments which include: spectroscopes, optical tools, micromanipulators, and stop-motion photomicrographs.  The 200-pound, 5,682-part Universal Microscope, which stood almost three feet high was one of his most famous inventions.

In regard to his work with electromedicine, Rife worked on an invention (now called the Rife machine, or Rife Instrument) that used specific radio frequencies to address different ailments.  His theory was that you could kill specific disease by “zapping” it with a specific frequency.  He spent a lot of his time working on frequencies that would kill cancer.  Rife’s instruments and technology were limited by their time being in the 1920′s and 1930′s (before space age electronics); they had some results but they were not consistent.

Electromedicine advanced to a new level in 1959 when Ed Skilling, an electronics engineer and genius, was commissioned by California cancer doctors to apply “space-age” electronics to an original Rife machine.

For 17 years, Ed Skilling was the Senior Electronics Design Engineer for General Dynamics. He personally supervised 1,000 of the brightest electronics engineers in the world.

With Ed Skilling’s space-age electronics knowledge, genius and electronics experience, his very first electromedicine instrument achieved better results than anything in history, including the original Rife machine technology. The Skilling Institute has been the leader in electromedicine since 1959.

Ed Skilling humbly gives the credit due to our Creator for making the human body resistant.  The classic proof of the body’s resistance (impedance: the electronic term) is our ability to lay out in the sun with all its power and radiation and burn our skin without hurting any of our most critical organs like the brain, heart, liver, kidneys, pancreas, etc..  This does not mean the sun and other energies around the universe (such as ultra-violet rays and microwaves, etc.) are not powerful, but our Creator blessed us by making our bodies resistant.

This is a real blessing to protect us, but a problem to correct imbalances, reach, treat and improve internal organs and functions, or eliminate pathogens in these organs by treating the surface of the body. This is a primary reason why past electromedicine technologies that basically “zapped” the surface of the body (like the Rife machine) got limited results that were not consistent for everyone.  Ed Skilling’s electronics genius, vast experience, and now, 48 years of research and development in the electromedicine field has made his latest technology, the Photon Genie, the most result-oriented technology available today.

The Skilling Institute breakthrough technology (Photon Genie) achieves communication beyond the surface of the body and improves results more noticeably than any technologies of the past. This technology transmits life-force energy (the kind of energy in the cells, and natural cellular energy that the cells use to communicate with each other).  It achieves energetic communication with all the organs and systems of the body at the cellular level in harmony with the “impedance” or resistance of the human body.  This promotes energetic cellular balance throughout the body and provides for more efficient function of organs and systems of the body.

Benefits and Disadvantages of Undergoing a Professional Wart Removal

By yogaguid on 30th June, 2009 | No Comments

When it comes to wart removal, there are several persons who make the choice to remove their own warts. This is often done right at home.

Perhaps, the most Benefits of having your warts efficiently moved, often at a doctor’s office, is the fact that it is being professionally done.  Just about all doctors, incorparatingdermatologists and primary care doctor , exhibit experience with wart removal. This means that you do not, in most cases, have to anxious about difficulties arising; problem that may possibly arise you if decide to eradicate your own warts, at home.

In addition to having your warts professionally removed, you will also find that you are given professional care and professional guidance . When having a wart detached, it is important that you take care of your skin, until it fully settle . This may take account of keeping it sheltered or frequently applying antibiotic cream.  By visiting your primary care doctor or a dermatologist, you should be given a detailed set of orders . In fact, your doctor or dermatologist may even give you free supplies , such as a exceptional type of skincare cream or bandage.  

When it approaches to treating any health condition, including warts, everyone is always advocated to see a doctor.  That is why many individuals by mistake have faith in that there are no cons to having their warts removed by a professional doctor. The authenticity is that there are a few drawbacks , even though the many advantages. Unluckily , these drawbacks may stop you from seeking professional help , when it comes to having one or more of your warts removed.

One of the few disadvantages of a professional wart removal is the expense of doing so. The expense tends to be higher with a professional dermatologist, as equated to a traditional, primary care general practitioner . Despite the high fee of having a wart removed in the doctor’s office, you may perhaps still require to undergo a professional removal. If you have health insurance, you are suggested to check your policy.  A large number of health insurance plans, in the United States, covers warts that are or need to be professionally detached .  If you do not have health insurance, you are advised to speak to your doctor. A large number of primary care physicians , as well as dermatologists, will allow you to set up a payment plan; thus making wart removal possible .  

Another drawbacks to having your wart professionally removed is one that actually shouldn’t even be an issue, but it is.  A larger number of individuals, maybe even yourself included, are concerned with the appearance of their warts.  Regardless of the fact that warts are harmless, many individuals do not want others to be familiar with that they have them.

Electromedicine Energy Healing

By yogaguid on 28th June, 2009 | No Comments

From ancient times to now, the human ingenuity has led to a long history of using and experimenting with the unviversal power of energy and electricity to benefit our health.

Over 2,000 years ago the ancient Greeks had a practice of using electric eels for healing. More recently, the American Electro-Therapeutic Association in the late 1800s began recording the therapeutic uses of electricity and electrical devices by doctors and patients.

From then to present day, electromedicine energy therapy has continued to evolve with the most important advances being made in the last 50 years with monumental advances in technology and electronics.

The following highlights:

  • The Language of Energy
  • The Body’s Electric Energy
  • Electromedicine Uses
  • Electromedicine Benefits
  • Early Pioneers
  • Electromedicine Advances

The Language of Energy

The language of energy, or frequency is depicted in the Energy Spectrum; it represents a range of energy frequencies; frequencies from a few cycles per second to several million cycles per second.

Electrical energy of brainwaves are an example of low frequencies. A few hundred cycles per second is what we call sound; a few thousand per second are radio waves, and several million cycles per second are called light.

There is a very broad range of frequencies from sound to light. Color is simply a specific light frequency. The spectrum continues to infinity. Electromedicine energy healing uses a synergistic combination of energy from the spectrum to support the body’s healing.

The Body Is Electric

The body is electrical with the nervous system representing an intricate bioelectrical system. Via a combination of electrical and chemical processes, the nervous system is used to control the functioning of the entire human body.

The nervous system is composed of two parts: the central nervous system, which is the control center comprising the brain and the spinal cord, and the peripheral nervous system, which consists of nerves connecting other parts of the body to the control center.

Every cell in the human body interacts with this intricate bioelectrical system and is part of a well functioning body.

Electromedicine Uses

Electromedicine is used for many body conditions including serious and degenerative conditions, which include:

  • Immune system disorders
  • Chronic fatigue
  • Fibromyalgia
  • Autism
  • Lyme disease
  • Most Cancers
  • Infections
  • Pain

It is also used by athletes to improve athletic performance (strength and endurance) and to speed recovery from workouts and injuries.

In addition, electromedicine is used for most chronic or catastrophic disorders including but not limited to:

  • Digestive disorders
  • Headaches
  • Pain from disease and injury
  • Bladder disorders
  • Heart disease
  • Tumors
  • Spinal cord injury
  • Muscle restoration
  • Re-flowing nerve paths for nerve regeneration and healing
  • Harmonic balance of brain energies
  • Mood Disorders

Electromedicine is used as an alternative method for healing, and importantly, it is complementary to most other healing protocols. Many have used electromedicine to get over the side effects of surgery and prescription drugs, including chemotherapy and radiation.

Electromedicine Benefits

As noted in the Townsend Letter:  February/March 2008 On Electromedicine:

“Unlike drugs, each of which can be used only one time by one person and for just specific conditions, the many electromedicine modalities that have emerged in the last century are:

  • Effective
  • Non-invasive
  • Enhance the body’s innate ability to heal
  • Used easily
  • Utilized long-term over the course of a lifetime
  • Used with more than one person in a family
  • Relatively inexpensive, considering their range and scope.”

Early Pioneers

Nikola Tesla – in 1895 discovered alternating current and invented the AC generator, published many papers, and invented numerous electrical devices including Tesla coil therapy instruments.

Alexander Gurvich – in 1922 discovered “biophotons” and “mitogenic” “mitotic” waves. His work became the basis for the design of later bioelectromagnetic therapy devices after being the first to document evidence of “biophotons.”.

George Lakhovsky – in 1925 invented the multi-wave oscillator producing a spectrum of electrical frequencies that restored cell equilibrium. He published a paper in “Radio News” magazine titled “Curing Cancer with Ultra Radio Frequencies”.”

Royal Raymond Rife – in the 1930’s demonstrated how his frequency research and mitogenic impulse-wave technology could cure cancer.

Ed Skilling – in 1959 California Cancer Doctors commissioned Ed Skilling to apply “space-age” electronics to these historic works by some of these earlier pioneers. Ed Skilling was the Senior Electronics Design Engineer for General Dynamics for 17 years and personally supervised 1,000 of the brightest electronics engineers in the world.In 1959, the first instrument Skilling developed offered better results than any prior electromedicine technology and is considered the leader in electromedicine today.

Electromedicine Advances

Ed Skilling founder of The Skilling Institute has been recognized as the “genius” in this field and now has 50 years of research and development with his latest instrument the Photon Genie.

The current and most advanced technology, the Photon Genie, communicates with the cells of the body utilizing thousands of frequencies and millions of harmonics formulating the subtle life energy that transmits balanced “life-force” energy at the cellular level of the body.  This strengthens the body’s immune system, reflowing the nerve paths and empowering the body.

Ed Skilling’s Photon Genie represents importatnt advances in electromedicine energy healing and is helping more people improve their health and quality of life.

You Can Achieve Lucid Dreams

By yogaguid on 28th June, 2009 | No Comments

Dreams that you have where you know they are dreams and control the final outcomes of the dream are called Lucid dreams. These are the type of dreams where you pick the subject or the person they are about and make the dream come out the way you want yet you feel like you are fully awake, similar to day dreaming.

Lucid dreams can be anything. From a sci-fi fantasy to an adventure or a fairy tale romance, you can dream about anything. Unlike real life, lucid dreams have unlimited possibilities. All you need is imagination.

While normal dreams are uncontrollable and completely dependent on the realms of the subconscious, lucid dreaming is completely controllable. There are times when lucid dreams become so vivid and so genuine that you may need to even make sure that you are dreaming!

One simple test is to try reading something. In a dream the words you see will keep changing, making it impossible to read properly. This is a sure sign that you really are having a lucid dream.

You may be having a fantasy about someone you want to be with. This may be impossible in real life, but of course anything is possible when you are lucid dreaming.

As soon as you realize you are dreaming start to change it, so that what you want to happen does. For example, imagine you are with the person you have been fantasying about, but now that person returns your smile, you get closer and soon touch. Just use your imagination to control your dream.

Is it physically possible to experience lucid dreams? Yes! There is a biological need for the body to sleep, to rest and prepare for another days activities, it is a relatively simple step for part of your mind to remain conscious while your body is resting.

It can take awhile to learn the techniques of lucid dreaming if you have never done it, but it can be learned over a period of time with practice.

Trying to remember your dreams and what they were about, who was in them and the outcome is a good way to start. Dream interpreters say to keep a pad and pen by handy so that you waste no time jotting down your images as soon as you remember them or awaken. It is possible the dream will repeat its self and you can finish writing it down. If you document your lucid dreams as you go, you may start to see a pattern develop over a period of time.

Lucid dreaming is a great tool for writers. You can actually dream about all the characters, the plot and the way you want your story line to move. You can use lucid dreaming for expressing all your dormant desires and manifesting them in reality.

Try to recall everything you can about your dream, go back to sleep and, if you can, return to where you were before you woke up and you will continue to dream. The dream will occur more than once, so you will have the opportunity to recall more each time it does occur. Recalling more each time you try.

If you wake a couple hours before your normal time, this is often when lucid dreaming happens, much like day dreaming where it seems you are awake the whole time, but you have actually been asleep.

Soon you will be surprised at how easy it really is to do. One short cut you can try is to use self-hypnosis; it can help prepare your mind to recall vividly your lucid dreams.

Another quick way of experiencing lucid dreams is to use a modern technique known as binaural beats. This involves using unique frequencies to synchronize the hemispheres of the brain which will automatically put your brainwaves in a frequency which corresponds to the state of lucid dreaming.

Exercise For Love Handles – Does It Hurt Bad?

By yogaguid on 28th June, 2009 | No Comments

Exercise for love handles, will it hurt me? Well that all rests on what & how you do it. But it doesn’t have to be.

Love handles are those horrid looking lumps of fat hanging off most adults sides, at about the waist level. Why they are called ‘love handles’ is beyond me. There’s no love there!

The correct term for them is ‘obliques’, as they are at an angle to our bodies. The term oblique means slanting, or at an angle.

Now, most advice for anything in the fitness or weight loss niche will start with all the same crap of eat healthy, balanced diet and exercise.

We are well aware of all that advice but we need an easy way without any real work, is it possible?

Yes it’s possible. You can continue on your junk food diet and lose your love handles but you are in for a huge amount of work.

The problem is while you are hard at it exercising for your love handles, sweating yesterdays burgers off, today’s burgers are making their way slowly to your midriff.

If, and I say then tentatively, if you were to cut the crap food out you will find you can do far less exercise to maintain a great body.

It’s about compromise. How much do you really want to lose those love handles? Is it enough to make a change to your lifestyle?

Or will you choose to work much harder and still enjoy all the junk foods you do now. That one is up to you.

A popular exercise for love handles is side bends. You may need to do a few hundred a day to maintain your love handles and your current diet. Or only do a few dozen to keep the love handles flat if you make the lifestyle change.

As you will gather from the above, it’s a fine balancing act. Junk food = more exercise while healthy food = less exercise.

As a person, I’m lazy. I try to eat the best options, this way it keeps the exercise to a minimum. I still exercise for love handles but only to stop them appearing again.

To wrap it up, it will indeed hurt if you have to do masses of exercise for love handles. Far better to minimise the exercise by altering your lifestyle a bit.

Have you got the willpower to do it? If you wanna check out my fav weight loss I’ve reviewed a few that I’ve tried on my site. What have you got to lose? Maybe your love handles!

How To Screw Excess Sweating

By yogaguid on 26th June, 2009 | No Comments

If you want to screw excess sweating for good and are weary of paying through the nose for antiperspirants or medications that don’t get the job done, then you may want to find a good remedy to stop your sweating. You have to – no buts, ifs, or ands about it. If you want to screw excess sweating, you do not need chemicals or medications at all. Believe it or not, all it takes are some natural remedies that you use as specified. With frequent usage, you can screw excess sweating with ease.

Remember, though, that sweating is a natural body function, and its purpose is to help your body. Knowing this, keeping your body cool in other ways should prevent you from sweating so much. Many people have been able to screw excess sweating simply by changing the type of clothing that they wear. If you usually wear synthetic fibers on your body like nylon, lycra, or polyester, you are, in effect, creating a greenhouse effect between your clothing and your body. Synthetic fibers are not as effecient as natural fibers, like cotton or bamboo. Switching to natural fibers will dramatically reduce your body’s ability to produce sweat.

Another way to screw excess sweating by helping keep your body cool is to increase your water intake. When your body is hydrated properly, you will not feel hot all the time and you will sweat less. To screw excess sweat, it could be as easy as drinking eight glasses of water every day. If you are not a fan of water, try grape juice, which hydrates your body and cools your temperature.

Shaving your underarms is another great way to screw excess sweating. Whether you’re male or female, keeping your underarms free of hair really minimizes the odors normally associated with sweating. If you are weary of smelling horrifically because you sweat more than most, it’s possible you’re only one razor away from smelling like roses.

Don’t miss out on eating healthy too because the health of your body has a lot to do with excess sweat. If you are overweight, you will expectedly sweat more than someone who is at a healthy weight. You might be able to screw excess sweating simply by losing excess poundage.

Excess sweating is a big problem in the lives of many people. Screw Excess Sweating provides plenty of ways that are absolutely natural and will prevent.

What Are The Secrets of Cosmic Ordering?

By yogaguid on 26th June, 2009 | No Comments

Are you in a place where you can use the Cosmic ordering services? If you have ever wanted to place an order and get whatever you want, it can be yours!

There are so many people around the world who are getting what they consciously desire. But it doesn’t work first time for everyone. Do the people who it does work for know something the others don’t? Are there really cosmic ordering secrets.

If you’ve ever grumbled when you saw someone else win a great prize or get a promotion, then without realizing it, you placed an order to your cosmic ordering service. Envy and distain at another’s success reinforces the fact that you believe you’ll never have that success and invites the ordering service to bring you more misery and poverty for your lunch.

Consider going to a nice restaurant. You don’t get upset or envious if someone is having a good meal. Instead, you’ll be pleased, happy for them, and you’ll order the same thing. You would have a good time hoping their meal was good.

If all that is true, why would you not find joy in another’s success? You can delight in the pleasure that they receive knowing that your success will be just as sweet. If you get bitter, angry or disappointed it only means you don’t believe you can have it too. At that moment, you place an order for failure.

Many religions tell us that prayer and the power of prayer can bring us anything we want. There’s a catch. You have to believe. Recently scientists found that if you apply the principals of quantum physics to this same belief system, there is scientific evidence that what was scoffed as religious dogma is true.

It is the application of the mind’s energy that makes it happen. This doesn’t take away from the religious doctrine but enhances it with proof.

There are many things that block a person from achieving their dreams if they just use positive affirmations. Past beliefs negate all the phrases you say and eliminate most of the good that the affirmation creates. Some affirmations manage to stick, but it takes time if you allow the old beliefs to remain.

This is where you can start looking into the cosmic ordering services. You’ll find that you are going to need to do a thorough cleaning of your brain before you go any further, and starting with a clean slate will let you really know that you deserve what the Universe gives you.

Various methods help you to clean out the old. Just like a vacuum sweeper is more effective than a small toothbrush to clean the carpet, so are newer scientific ways more effective in making your mind available to accept the new way of life you desire.

Self-hypnosis, subliminal affirmations and binaural frequency waves are tools that can help you get to exactly where you want, and you’ll find that they are often instrumental in ensuring that you are going to be able to get what you need and where you can stop sabotaging yourself as you attempt to get the job that you have always wanted. This is great way to get ahead, after all.

Remember that your mind hates change. It will fight tooth and nail to keep you at the same place, so make sure that you use the cosmic ordering system to get your needs met. You’ll even find that you can “trick” your mind into going along, to becoming more dissatisfied with things as they stand.

Get whatever it is that you need and want from the cosmic ordering system. It really is that easy to create an order and then to reap the rewards!

There are quite a few different IBS syndrome symptomsthat you are going to want to watch out for. One of the commonly exhibited IBS syndrome symptoms are suffering from constipation and diarrhea at the same time. You may have one or the other, but more than anything IBS sufferers find that they are going back and forth from being constipated one week to having diarrhea the next.

This is the basic way of finding whether a person is suffering from IBS syndrome or not although there are other ways also available. Abdominal pain, cramping, pain while having a bowel movement, these are all other symptoms that are commonly associated with the IBS condition and which you are therefore going to want to watch for.

Another of the most common IBS syndrome symptoms is excessive gas, which will probably also result in bloating.

Know More About Chiropractic Care: Risks vs Benefits

By yogaguid on 26th June, 2009 | No Comments

Before proceeding with chiropractic care, it is important to take proper measures to ensure that it is the best method of treatment for your condition. The success or failure of the procedure will depend largely on that aspect. Also, an honest assessment of the risks and benefits offered by chiropractic care will enable one to make the safest choice.

What Are The Benefits?

Chiropractic care is intially intended to cure any dysfunctions or irregularities an individual suffers in their joint or spine. And with the continued growth of chiropractic medicine all throughout the world, it speaks a lot about the effectiveness of this particular medicinal practice.

One distinct benefit with chiropractic care is the immediate relief that can be experienced by the patient. Joint or back pains are typically caused by misalignment on those particular areas of the body. Thereby, corrections made may give you instant relief only since the pain is actually associated by the wrong positioning. Therefore, chiropractic care can address a wide range of related problems such as backache, neck pain, or indigestion, among others.

What Are The Risks?

All types of medicinal procedures or alternative therapy pose their own set of risks and the same applies with chiropractic care. With chiropractic care, the risks are non-life threatening since the methodogies used in this particular medicinal practice are non-invasive. Hence, if there are any side effects at all, then they are mostly of transient types and can be as simple as a sensation of localized pain that pose no real threat.

However, there were also a few cases in the past wherein minor side effects dramatically evolved into a higher degree with more prominent regularity. And yet, research continues for health experts to determine whether such occurrences are actually caused by the process of adjustment or if the patient were already at risk for developing them. Also, the quest to pinpoint any risk factors are currently underway. So, for now health experts have remained at the conclusion that anyone who undergoes chiropractic care are at risk for developing certain side effects.

Safety of Chiropractic Care

For patients subjected to chiropractic care, the safety of the procedures is a main concern. The least you’d want to happen following a treatment for a medical condition is to acquire any complications from the procedure underwent.

For added measures, it is highly recommended that you opt for a trained and professional chiropractor to perform the treatment on you. Moreover, a highly experienced chiropractor also helps ensure that you’re in good hands while undergoing the treatment.

During spinal or joint manipulation, there are a lot of areas for mistake that could result to serious complications such as acquiring fractures or life-threatening spinal complications. But the risks are higher with inexperienced chiropractors. Since a patient has no power to prevent this from happening, prevention is always the best option for you.

Conclusion

The result of analyzing the risks and benefits of opting for chiropractic care will help create awareness on making the safest choice for medical treatment possible. If you might ask, what does the knowledge of the risks and benefits do to you? For one, it helps you assess whether the benefits outweight the risks, and vice versa. If you find that you are at a higher risk by opting for chiropractic care, then it would be best to look out for other safer approaches for medicinal treatment.

Because of ongoing research it is possible to gather more conclusive data and there by it helps you in taking firm decision on chiropractic care.
