CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE
Do you want to search the Web --- Don recommends Yahoo
A diagnosis of congestive heart failure requires large doses of C0Q10. Consult a health professional for the right amount.
FINGER AND/OR TOE NAILS
Your finger and/or toe nails have a possible story to tell. Before anyone paints or coats his/her finger and/or toe nails, take a closer look at them. Why, you ask?? Well, since they cannot, audibly, speak to you, do it for the following reasons:
1) If your nails have long ridges on/in them, from the base to the tip, it indicates a deficiency of calcium. When there is a deficiency of calcium in the body, your bodily system will cause osteoporosis and/or pull the calcium from the long bones in the body and deposit them, many times, in the form of bone spurs in the heels, shoulders, etc. The remedy is a good calcium supplement such as the "New Citracal Plus, 'with magnesium, calcium citrate, vitamin D and multi-mineral supplement.' " These extra additives are needed for your body to absorb the calcium instead of just flushing it out, and sending your money down the drain. Since I cannot prescribe, as a reflexologist, I'm just sharing what I'd do, if I was you. And I'd, at least, double the recommended dosage. This will, also, help diminish/reduce osteoporosis.
2) If your nails have white spots in them, it indicates a deficiency of the mineral, zinc. I'd start with a daily dosage of 50 mg for a couple weeks and reduce that to 30 mg, thereafter. It is, also, recommended that one not ingest vitamin E at the very same time as they are contrary to each other. A severe deficiency of zinc will cause the loss of taste, smell and body odor. Check with a health care professional for the proper supplemental dosage.
3) If your nails tear easily, it indicates a deficiency of iron. For this and the above, please consult the advice of a health-care professional, pharmacist or homeopathic doctor.
4) If your nails are not rigid and bend easily, it indicates a deficiency of protein. So, hit the peanut butter, containing no sodium, whatsoever. It's out there, and labelled, "Organic, crunchy Peanut Butter", by a company named, "Once Again". They have a toll-free phone number: 1-888-800-8075, at P.O. Box 429, 12 S. State Street, Nunda, NY 14517-0429, if you cannot acquire it locally.5) A severe deficiency of potassium will cause the finger/toe nails to fall off. Check with a health care professional for the proper supplemental dosage.
Well, have your bare nails told you anything?? If not, pretend you're at a railroad crossing. STOP!! LOOK!! LISTEN!!
That's all for now. Keep tuned for future developments.

TIPS AND SUGGESTIONS!!!! HEADACHESHELPS THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM AND HELPS RELIEVE THE DISCOMFORT OF TIRED, ACHING JOINTS, AND THE HEART MUSCLES
If you don't care for headaches, the following may be the most profitable reading on the subject that you'll ever find or observe. It should be noted that one cannot do this on himself/herself. This is not reflexology. It is ‘vita therapy’ from neuro-muscular therapy.The palm of the left hand "draws energy". And the palm of the right hand "floods energy".The person with the headache (receiver), should be seated. The giver, standing and facing the receiver's left side, places his/her left hand on the area of the receiver's forehead or temple, if that’s where the pain exists, and right hand, on the back of the neck. In most headaches, the pain is only located in the forehead. PLEASE NOTE: absolutely no pressure is applied; it's just a very gentle touch. Should the headache be a migraine, the receiver may, possibly, have nausea and be in a semi-reclined position. In this case, the giver will, likely, be seated and facing the receiver's right side. The giver's left hand will be positioned over the painful area of the receiver's head, in an inverted position - little finger near the hairline and thumb on the receiver's nose. The right hand will be placed over the liver (below the right, lower ribs). Either way, the giver holds both hands in place until the receiver says, "The headache is gone." Comments such as "It feels better." or "It's almost gone." are not acceptable. It has to be GONE!! When the headache is gone, the giver removes his/her left, "draw" hand and *leaves the right, "flood" hand in place for 30-60 seconds, to complete the energy cycle. Then, it’s OK to remove the right hand. If the giver removes both hands at the same time, he/she could get the headache. And, that's no joke!!
If the headache is resident in both the forehead and the back of the neck or any other site, leave the right ("flood") hand directly over the liver. Place the left ("draw") on the forehead until that pain is gone. Then move the left hand, without hesitation, to the next painful site, holding, until that pain is gone, etc.
Does your bladder have you up and running??The headache may be gone in as little as 10 seconds or as much as 18-20 minutes. Seldom does the headache last beyond 20 minutes. If it does and the left hand becomes weary in it’s hold position, leave the right hand in place and remove the left hand to a temporary resting position. Or shake out the possible stiffness or soreness of the left arm. And then, get back to the task. Or, to take a longer break, remove both hands in the same sequence of total headache removal.
On rare occasions, it may not leave until the following day. This was the case with a woman who I treated with vita therapy and reflexology from 8PM to 12AM. It was gone by morning. But 99% of the time, it goes quickly, and without any medication! And this procedure will work, whether either person - giver or receiver - believes in it or not. I have found the average time to be 3 minutes.I have found it very interesting that if I bump myself or go for a blood test and expect a bruise to appear, I do the following. For the bump, I tear off two paper towels, without separating them, and fold them to cover the area of the expected bruise. I soak them with apple cider vinegar, just so they're not dripping, and hold them in place for 15 to 20 minutes. If I am busy doing something that makes it inconvenient to hold them, on an arm or leg, I use two large rubber bands to hold them in place for 30 minutes and no bruise will appear. After the blood test, I apply the vinegar to the cotton under the bandaid. It stings a couple seconds, but works the same way.
Want to end those night-time trips to the bathroom - sometimes as many as 4 to 5 awakenings - the ones many thought were common? You might want to try this self help or complimentary treatment. The bladder reflex is in the arched instep of both feet and the palm-side, center base of both hands where all the lines converge and about an inch from the wrist. This area will be abnormally sensitive - the feet more than the hands. One may locate the foot reflex with the tip of one of the thumbs and on the hand with an extended knuckle of the index finger of the other hand. Rotate or twist the extended knuckle at the base of the other hand for 10-20 seconds, with as much pressure as you can tolerate without being too forceful. Then work the other hand in the same manner. One may switch back and forth several times per hour as time permits. Be faithful with your effort, as often as you are able. And with this type of dedication, expect a partial to complete recovery in two to three weeks. When these bladder reflexes, in the hands, no longer have discomfort, guess what?? That's right! You'll be sleeping all night without all those nagging, getting-up exercises.
If you come to me with this over active bladder problem, I'll remove it in less than 15 minutes and save you all of that homework. Then you'll be able to say, "Praise the Lord! What a blessing!" Occasionally, thereafter, check these bladder reflex sites to determine if additional self-help is required. When you come for treatments, you'll be one step ahead of me. I won't have to give you this homework assignment and your session will be much more relaxing. Come, join my 'cloud-walking, more-room-in-the-shoes club'. And remember, the third treatment in any seven day period is free. I also require the first treatment to be 90 minutes as additional effort may be required to eliminate aches and pains in your body, using neuro-muscular therapy along with reflexology. Here's looking to those long, peaceful nights of sleep.
If anyone has swelling around an ankle, knee, wrist or elbow, a workable, over-night remedy exists, as follows: Purchase the smallest red cabbage available - 3" to 4" in diameter. Shred about 1/4 of it as finely as possible. Add one cup of apple cider vinegar to two quarts of very hot water. Dip a heavy knap hand towel into this solution, leaving the ends dry so you will not burn your hands. Wring out slightly, to remove the dripping solution. Spread the towel out and add the shredded red cabbage to its surface. Wrap this around the swollen joint. Cover it with either Saran Wrap or a plastic bag, so it will not get the covers wet and go to bed this way. During the night, it will heat up and cool off, by itself, three times and in the morning, the swelling will be down. Ah, yes; what to do with the rest of the red cabbage - an excellent addition to your next salad!!
A few interesting facts about CAPSICUM - the same as cayenne pepper. It will heal ulcers; it will help normalize blood pressure, whether high or low; it will help other herbs to get to the part of the body where they are needed, faster. The liquid form - extract of capsicum - acts the same as nitro glycerin tablets. Just three drops under the tongue will stop a heart attack in progress. Not exactly protocol on an ambulance, but individuals can use it or for angina attacks. In the capsule form, if a burning sensation is noted in the stomach after ingestion, another herb, slippery elm, may be taken first to eliminate that feeling.As I have no respiratory problems and do not suffer from allergies or asthma, I can take a good brand of vitamin C at the rate of 2000 to 3000 mg per day to maintain good health. If I had asthma I'd take at least 6000 mg per day. And, if I had wheezing asthma, I'd be taking 500 mg every half hour, while I'm awake or, to bowel tolerance. I cannot overdose on vitamin C but it will give loose bowels if I take too much. So I just take a little less. GREAT STUFF!! And no list of side affects.
I do have a problem with my hands, occasionally. It's, likely, due to the this profession of Reflexology. (Just working two feet for an hour takes an average of 3000 to 6000 flexes of the thumbs, times up to ten clients per day.) That's a lot of work and stress on the thumbs. I was having much discomfort on the medial edge of my right thumb and forefinger and across the right wrist. Also, the bony tips of my fingers were very sore. A nurse friend told me, like vitamin C, I could take large doses of vitamin B complex without fear of taking too much, as it does not toxify in the body. (Toxins are poisons.) I took a balanced B-150 for two weeks, 8 to 12 capsules per day, and all the discomfort ended. Since then, I take up to 12 B-50's per day. Whatever my body cannot use, it passes off through the urine and makes it a bright yellow. It seems, there are times, too, when my "sweet tooth" overrides my logic and the following morning, all the joints in my hands are stiff and sore. A neuro-muscular therapist, Jerome Cooke, from Texas told me, "Stay away from white sugar, white flour and white rice since all the nutrients have been processed out of them." MAKES SENSE!! But, do we always listen??
I can stop a bad cough by forming the letter "C" with my left thumb and middle finger and pinching the first joint of my right middle finger, just below the nail, like a c-clamp. It stops almost immediately and will, as long as I hold it. When I get tired, I switch hands and do the same to the left middle finger.
Now, on the other end of the spectrum, when the automatic transmission on my 1979, Ford van would not shift into high gear, a friend from Owego told me to buy a quart of a product called TRANSX. The cheapest place to buy it is AUTO ZONE. I disconnected one of the transmission cooling lines at the base of the radiator and had my wife run the engine, with the transmission in "park" position. I put the end of the line in a clean, gallon jug and when I knew there was more than a quart of transmission fluid in the jug, I told my wife to turn the engine off. I reconnected the cooling line; added the TRANSX; filled the empty TRANSX can with the jug content; and poured the rest of the jug content back into the transmission. Some time, later, I mentioned this to a local, transmission shop operator. He said that was the "cheap fix" and it should have been done properly. Well, when I had a 1979 Ford van with a standard, four speed transmission, it was whinning and would drop out of overdrive (4th gear) when going down a long hill, using cruise control. I took it to him. He charged me $360. He fixed the whinning. But it still dropped out of 4th. And on top of that, it dropped out of 2nd, when using engine compression, going down a steep grade. He never corrected it. So, sometimes, a "cheap fix" is better than an expensive "non-fix". If you know anyone who has a "sick" tranny, tell him/her about this guaranteed product.
Cayenne pepper warms cold feet
To warm your feet during any season, put cayenne pepper in your, other than white, socks and in your shoes or boots. The red color of this pepper will stain white socks.
Going Bananas?
High blood pressure can be controlled by eating two bananas
per day, according to researchers in Maripal, India. The BBC News reports
that blood pressure fell 10% in volunteers who made this adjustment to their diets. This
certainly is an interesting finding and bananas sure
can't hurt, but don't throw away your prescribed medication without telling your doctor.
Young and blue
Life saving chocolateBlueberries can keep you looking young and reverse some effects of aging according to research by the US Department of Agriculture.
Specifically, age-related loss of balance and coordination, as well as memory loss, was improved by a diet rich in blueberry extract. The same effects can be derived from fresh, dried, heated or frozen blueberries.
GOUTScientists from the American Chemical Society announced that the average chocolate bar contains the same amount of antioxidants as a
day's supply of fruit and vegetables. They also report that chocolate contains flavonoids which inhibit oxidation of LDL cholesterol. It still
contains fat and calories, but maybe chocolate isn't so bad after all.
You've been diagnosed with gout and you have severe discomfort in one or both of your great toes?? You cannot walk very far without feeling a hot, piercing sensation in it/them? And you want relief, quickly!! The solution is available in the thumb on the same side of your body as the painful toe. What do I mean, you ask. If it's the right great toe, thoroughly rub the right thumb in the same respective area as the painful toe for up to ten minutes. Quite likely, there will be some discomfort in that respective area of the thumb. But when it's gone in the thumb, it will be gone in the great toe and without pills. This method is described in REFERRAL REFLEXOLOGY, unless you have already read and understand that page, you may link to it now.
