Does your <a href="http://directoryofhealthtips.com/blog/tag/throat/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with throat">throat</a> hurt?</p>
<p>Anyway, you can gargle with a 1:3 solution of Hydrogen Peroxide or get Colloidal Silver spray or liquid and gargle that.</p>
<p>The other is Wild Oil of Oregano (Oreganol 73) a couple drops under the tongue for a minute or so, the sip a little water and swish and gargle with that and swallow.</p>
<p>Last but not least, if you have a <a href="http://directoryofhealthtips.com/blog/tag/sore-throat/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with sore throat">sore throat</a>, there&#8217;s probably stagnant water in you ears (from showering or swimming) which will cause the small brown things.</p>
<p>For this get from the local Pharmacy Over-the-counter swimmers ear drops OR right in your home if you have the Hydrogen Peroxide (one part ) Water (distilled or pure)  (three parts)&#8230;a few drops in one side (hold your head to one side finger over the ear opening and swish the solution in your ear) the do the other side.  Then turn and drain the ear and get excess out with Qtip. Same with the swimmers ear drops.</p>
<p>You might also want to have Quercetin 500mg on hand as a immune booster.</p>
<p>Of course see a doctor if after a few days they are still there or you have a high fever.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>PROBIOTIC THERAPY FOR IBD,  IBS and <a href="http://directoryofhealthtips.com/blog/tag/crohn/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with Crohn">Crohn</a>&#8217;s</p>
<p>People with Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (IBD), like <a href="http://directoryofhealthtips.com/blog/tag/crohn/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with Crohn">Crohn</a>&#8217;s, Ulcerative </p>
<p>Colitis and Diverticulitis are very sensitive to many foods, herbs and </p>
<p>therapeutic protocols that work well for people with normal digestive </p>
<p>systems. Many substances like MSM, standard aloe vera and vitamin C </p>
<p>(ascorbic acid form) that are healing for most people can actually </p>
<p>aggravate the digestive systems of people with IBD. When you get into </p>
<p>the arena of probiotics, whose action is almost exclusively in the gut, </p>
<p>reactions are quite pronounced.</p>
<p>When trying to work out why and how probiotics work, the field of </p>
<p>misinformation is vast. I consulted well-known naturopathic physicians, </p>
<p>professors of microbiology, gastroenterologists, and read extensively, </p>
<p>but received conflicting information at every turn. I experimented with </p>
<p>different brands of probiotics off and on for seven years and each time </p>
<p>I tried supplementing, my symptoms (gas, bloating, bleeding) worsened. </p>
<p>Although the science behind probiotics and why they should benefit me </p>
<p>seemed sound, my experience proved contrary. Finally, when I was nearly </p>
<p>ready to give up, a naturopathic physician convinced me to try Natren </p>
<p>probiotics. He insisted they were the best brand and I would see good </p>
<p>results from them. I started with Natren&#8217;s Bifido Factor powder and for </p>
<p>the first time, experienced an improvement as a result.</p>
<p>Thus, when I first began recommending Natren probiotics to my readers, I </p>
<p>did so for one reason only; they worked. At that time I knew very little </p>
<p>about the different strains of probiotics. For example, I had no idea </p>
<p>that Lactobacillus Bulgaricus DDS-14 (DDS-14 is the strain) is a potent </p>
<p>strain capable of antibiotic action against numerous harmful bacteria </p>
<p>including E. coli and Staphylococcus aureus, whilst Lactobacillus </p>
<p>Bulgaricus DDS-13 is a weak, ineffectual strain with none of the above </p>
<p>capabilities. As you know, most probiotic manufacturers do not even list </p>
<p>the strain on the bottle so you have no idea as to the effectiveness of </p>
<p>the bacteria you&#8217;re consuming. I was also not aware of how the different </p>
<p>probiotic manufacturing and extraction processes greatly affect the </p>
<p>potency, safety, and bioavailability (how much of the substance ingested </p>
<p>the body can actually utilise) of the finished product. Basically, I </p>
<p>knew very little about the technical and scientific reasons why Natren&#8217;s </p>
<p>products were so superior. All I knew, from extensive trial and error, </p>
<p>was that Natren&#8217;s probiotics worked and other brands of probiotics were </p>
<p>likely to have either no effect, or produce a worsening of symptoms.</p>
<p>A gastroenterologist I know in Toronto has seen some patients with </p>
<p>Colitis achieve remission with acidophilus and others whose Colitis </p>
<p>flared because of it. Unfortunately, she didn&#8217;t track which brand or </p>
<p>strain of acidophilus her patients were taking. Dr. <a href="http://directoryofhealthtips.com/blog/tag/michael-mccann/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with Michael McCann">Michael McCann</a>, an </p>
<p>MD in Cleveland, Ohio, has found that once his IBD patients have </p>
<p>achieved remission, every one of them who&#8217;s continued to take Natren </p>
<p>probiotics, has remained in remission to date. Whether they&#8217;ll still be </p>
<p>in remission in 15-20 years remains to be seen, but the evidence is </p>
<p>certainly encouraging. One of my readers was passing a ¼ cup of <a href="http://directoryofhealthtips.com/blog/tag/mucous/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with mucous">mucous</a> </p>
<p>with every bowel movement and after only 12 days on Natren probiotics, </p>
<p>the <a href="http://directoryofhealthtips.com/blog/tag/mucous/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with mucous">mucous</a> was completely gone. Her story is only one of dozens I&#8217;ve </p>
<p>received from readers. I tell my readers they have to use Natren </p>
<p>probiotics in their healing regimen, otherwise their results will vary.</p>
<p>For myself, prior to taking Natren&#8217;s B. bifidum, the only thing that had </p>
<p>worked to stem my chronic diarrhea was L-Glutamine (on an empty stomach </p>
<p>only). However, within 3 doses of Natren&#8217;s bifidobacteria, my stools </p>
<p>began to firm up and excess water was reabsorbed. I tried Natren&#8217;s Mega </p>
<p>Dophilus (lactobacillus acidophilus DDS-1) next but did not tolerate </p>
<p>that as well as the bifidus. In searching for reasons why, I came across </p>
<p>this bit of research that showed that in states of inflammation the </p>
<p>overall tolerance to bacterial flora is greatly reduced:</p>
<p>&#8220;It is possible that the products of the commensal flora promote </p>
<p>inflammation in the presence of an impaired mucosal barrier or injury to </p>
<p>the mucosa… These results indicate that, in <a href="http://directoryofhealthtips.com/blog/tag/health/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with Health">health</a>, there is tolerance </p>
<p>to autologous [your own] but not allogeneic [foreign source] intestinal </p>
<p>flora, and tolerance is lost during inflammation. Evidence also exists </p>
<p>that animals are tolerant to their own flora in <a href="http://directoryofhealthtips.com/blog/tag/health/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with Health">health</a> but not after </p>
<p>colitis develops.&#8221; (<a href="http://directoryofhealthtips.com/blog/tag/inflammatory-bowel-disease/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with Inflammatory bowel disease">Inflammatory Bowel Disease</a>: Etiology and </p>
<p>Pathogenesis by Claudio Fiocchi, Gastroenterology 1998, Vol.115, page </p>
<p>185)</p>
<p>Unfortunately, this bit of research doesn&#8217;t stipulate which species of </p>
<p>bacteria the body loses tolerance for, and which strains of which </p>
<p>species. Nevertheless, it provided me with a clue by which to proceed, </p>
<p>and as my own program of supplementation was successful, I then </p>
<p>recommended the same conservative course of action to my readers. I know </p>
<p>many people have experienced good results from more aggressive </p>
<p>supplementation and also from beginning supplementation immediately </p>
<p>(with inflammation and bleeding still present). However, I favor the </p>
<p>kinder, gentler approach to healthcare that&#8217;s likely to work for the </p>
<p>greatest number of people and not risk triggering adverse reactions. </p>
<p>Feedback from hundreds of readers since has confirmed the effectiveness </p>
<p>of this approach.</p>
<p>My recommendation is this: First, get your inflammation and ulceration, </p>
<p>bleeding, etc. healed. For more information on natural ways to </p>
<p>accomplish this, see either of my books, Listen To Your Gut, or The IBD </p>
<p>Remission Diet. However, I do recommend you try supplementing with </p>
<p>Natren&#8217;s Bifido Factor (B. bifidum Malyoth) right away because if you </p>
<p>can tolerate it, it will help speed your healing. Once you&#8217;ve </p>
<p>successfully used Natren&#8217;s bifidobacteria for a few weeks, next try </p>
<p>adding Mega Dophilus (L. acidophilus DDS-1), if you tolerate that well, </p>
<p>then finally add their Digesta Lac product (L. bulgaricus LB-51) to your </p>
<p>regimen. You ultimately need to ingest the complete spectrum of </p>
<p>probiotics as each is particularly active and healing for different </p>
<p>parts of your <a href="http://directoryofhealthtips.com/blog/tag/intestine/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with Intestine">intestine</a>: Acidophilus for the esophageal tube, stomach </p>
<p>and small <a href="http://directoryofhealthtips.com/blog/tag/intestine/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with Intestine">intestine</a>, bifidus for the large <a href="http://directoryofhealthtips.com/blog/tag/intestine/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with Intestine">intestine</a>, and bulgaricus is </p>
<p>a transient species that travels throughout the intestinal tract and </p>
<p>also assists the action of acidophilus and bifidus. If you suffer from </p>
<p><a href="http://directoryofhealthtips.com/blog/tag/irritable-bowel-syndrome/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with Irritable Bowel Syndrome">Irritable Bowel Syndrome</a> (IBS) you can start immediately with all three </p>
<p>(acidophilus, bifidum, bulgaricus) in powder form. Whether you tend </p>
<p>toward diarrhea or constipation or some mixture of both, the Natren </p>
<p>probiotics will normalize your bowel function and you should see </p>
<p>positive results within a month or so.</p>
<p>I recommend people with IBD take the probiotics in powder form so that </p>
<p>(a) you can reap the benefits in your mouth (mouth ulcers), esophagus </p>
<p>and stomach (acidophilus reduces or eliminates heartburn &#8211; even while </p>
<p>pregnant) and (b) to ensure effective utilisation as people with IBD </p>
<p>often have very fast transit times through their gastrointestinal tract, </p>
<p>so capsules are not always broken down/absorbed properly.</p>
<p>For an infant with bowel problems, supplement with Natren&#8217;s Life Start </p>
<p>(B. infantis bacteria) only &#8211; do not give the other probiotic species </p>
<p>directly to an infant (although a nursing mother can and should ingest </p>
<p>other species including B. infantis).</p>
<p>If you&#8217;ve already tried probiotics with mixed results, I encourage you </p>
<p>to give them one more try. For full dosage instructions for both adults, </p>
<p>children and infants, see either of my books:</p>

<p>&#8216;bad&#8217; bacteria in your gut and not enough &#8216;good&#8217; bacteria, the bad </p>
<p>bacteria (and other pathogenic microorganisms like yeast, fungi, </p>
<p>parasites, etc.) will degrade the mucosal lining of your <a href="http://directoryofhealthtips.com/blog/tag/intestine/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with Intestine">intestine</a> and </p>
<p>even penetrate through the intestinal wall. Aside from resulting in an </p>
<p>increase of <a href="http://directoryofhealthtips.com/blog/tag/mucous/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with mucous">mucous</a>, inflammation, ulceration and bleeding, this will </p>
<p>also result in undigested particles of food passing directly into your </p>
<p>bloodstream &#8211; where they are perceived as allergens and trigger an </p>
<p>immune response. Repopulating your bacterial flora to contain </p>
<p>predominantly good bacteria (via probiotic supplementation), will result </p>
<p>in a drastic reduction &#8211; if not elimination &#8211; of many harmful pathogens </p>
<p>like yeast, fungus, mold, parasites, viruses and bad bacteria from your </p>
<p>gut environment. The good bacteria will also form a protective coating </p>
<p>of your mucosal cell lining and produce B vitamins and digestive </p>
<p>enzymes. As a result, proper digestion and absorption of nutrients will </p>
<p>gradually be restored. Top quality probiotic supplementation is an </p>
<p>integral part of healing the root cause of IBS or IBD and then </p>
<p>maintaining ongoing <a href="http://directoryofhealthtips.com/blog/tag/health/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with Health">health</a>. Symptoms that can be automatically resolved </p>
<p>as a result of this healing include: heartburn, gas, bloating, </p>
<p>constipation, diarrhea, excess <a href="http://directoryofhealthtips.com/blog/tag/mucous/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with mucous">mucous</a>, intestinal spasms or cramping, </p>
<p>ulceration, inflammation, and bleeding.</p>
<p>There is MUCH more information about probiotics, how they work, how to </p>
<p>choose the best one for your body, and detailed dosage instructions for </p>
<p>both adults, children and infants, in either of my books:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Natural Antibiotics &#038; Antimicrobials</p>
<p>Natural alternatives to pharmaceutical antibiotics are especially </p>
<p>important if you suffer dreadful side-effects from drug antibiotics or </p>
<p>if you&#8217;re concerned about growing antibiotic-resistance (superbugs).</p>
<p>If your doctor wants to put you on antibiotics for either a gut or </p>
<p>secondary infection. There are several natural alternatives you can </p>
<p>consider. These include: Garlic, Olive Leaf Extract, Grapefruit Seed </p>
<p>Extract and <a href="http://directoryofhealthtips.com/blog/tag/wild-oregano-oil/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with Wild Oregano Oil">Wild Oregano Oil</a>. All of these substances also have varying </p>
<p>levels of anti-viral, anti-yeast, anti-fungal and anti-parasitic </p>
<p>activity as well.</p>
<p>Of these, I feel <a href="http://directoryofhealthtips.com/blog/tag/wild-oregano-oil/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with Wild Oregano Oil">Wild Oregano Oil</a> is the most potent and powerful, </p>
<p>across the board, and is definitely the one I recommend you use. The </p>
<p>only drawback to <a href="http://directoryofhealthtips.com/blog/tag/wild-oregano-oil/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with Wild Oregano Oil">Wild Oregano Oil</a> is that it feels very &#8216;hot&#8217; (like </p>
<p>chili pepper hot) for about 2-3 minutes after you take it orally, </p>
<p>therefore, it can be very difficult to use internally with children.</p>
<p><a href="http://directoryofhealthtips.com/blog/tag/wild-oregano-oil/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with Wild Oregano Oil">WILD OREGANO OIL</a></p>
<p><a href="http://directoryofhealthtips.com/blog/tag/wild-oregano-oil/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with Wild Oregano Oil">Wild Oregano Oil</a> is relatively new in North America &#8211; it has only been </p>
<p>around for about ten years and there are still many naturopaths and </p>
<p>herbalists who are not fluent in its usage. This is changing rapidly </p>
<p>though, as news of it&#8217;s efficacy spreads! Because there isn&#8217;t much </p>
<p>information on <a href="http://directoryofhealthtips.com/blog/tag/wild-oregano-oil/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with Wild Oregano Oil">Wild Oregano Oil</a>, I have had to develop a treatment </p>
<p>protocol specifically for people with IBS and IBD (as one didn&#8217;t exist).</p>
<p>About 30 of my private consultation clients have been invaluable guinea </p>
<p>pigs with me on this, and together we have developed a very effective </p>
<p>protocol that eliminates yeast (Candida), fungus, parasites, and bad </p>
<p>bacteria (like C. difficile) &#8211; and replaces them with good bacteria.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://directoryofhealthtips.com/blog/tag/wild-oregano-oil/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with Wild Oregano Oil">Wild Oregano Oil</a> Protocol with all the usage and dosage instructions </p>
<p>is too lengthy to include here, so check out either of my books: LISTEN </p>
<p>TO YOUR IBS or LISTEN TO YOUR GUT for everything you need to know to </p>
<p>implement this very powerful, life-changing healing protocol. Here are </p>
<p>some key points about <a href="http://directoryofhealthtips.com/blog/tag/wild-oregano-oil/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with Wild Oregano Oil">Wild Oregano Oil</a>:</p>
<p>A therapeutic dose of <a href="http://directoryofhealthtips.com/blog/tag/wild-oregano-oil/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with Wild Oregano Oil">Wild Oregano Oil</a> (e.g. 5 drops, 5x/day) is </p>
<p>equivalent to Vancomycin (a potent drug antibiotic reserved to treat </p>
<p>&#8216;superbugs&#8217;).</p>
<p><a href="http://directoryofhealthtips.com/blog/tag/wild-oregano-oil/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with Wild Oregano Oil">Wild Oregano Oil</a> feels &#8216;spicy hot&#8217; when you swallow it (or when it </p>
<p>touches any <a href="http://directoryofhealthtips.com/blog/tag/mucous/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with mucous">mucous</a> membrane). However, I&#8217;ve developed a way of ingesting </p>
<p>it that&#8217;s so painless, even my kids can take it. You take a sip of </p>
<p>water, tilt your head back and shoot the <a href="http://directoryofhealthtips.com/blog/tag/wild-oregano-oil/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with Wild Oregano Oil">Wild Oregano Oil</a> into the back </p>
<p>of your <a href="http://directoryofhealthtips.com/blog/tag/throat/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with throat">throat</a> where the water is, swallow and then immediately chug </p>
<p>lots more water.</p>
<p>If you cannot take the <a href="http://directoryofhealthtips.com/blog/tag/wild-oregano-oil/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with Wild Oregano Oil">Wild Oregano Oil</a> in liquid form, you can take it </p>
<p>in the equivalent dosage of gelcaps. However, take in liquid form if you </p>
<p>can, as it is most potent.</p>
<p><a href="http://directoryofhealthtips.com/blog/tag/wild-oregano-oil/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with Wild Oregano Oil">Wild Oregano Oil</a> (Oreganum Vulgare) is also an anti-inflammatory in </p>
<p>addition to being an extremely potent antiviral, antibacterial, </p>
<p>antifungal, antiparasitic, etc.</p>
<p><a href="http://directoryofhealthtips.com/blog/tag/wild-oregano-oil/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with Wild Oregano Oil">Wild Oregano Oil</a> is fantastic for treating mouth ulcers &#8211; you can clear </p>
<p>them in 1-2 days! Either gargle with it in a mouthful of water, or dab </p>
<p>on directly with your finger. Full-strength from the dropper bottle </p>
<p>(Note: this is not ESSENTIAL oil of oregano, it has already been diluted </p>
<p>a certain amount with olive oil by the manufacturer) works the fastest. </p>
<p>But you can also dilute it 7:1 (7 drops organic olive oil, 1 drop wild </p>
<p>oregano oil) and this works almost as well, but without any of the </p>
<p>&#8220;burning&#8221;.</p>
<p>You should also apply <a href="http://directoryofhealthtips.com/blog/tag/wild-oregano-oil/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with Wild Oregano Oil">Wild Oregano Oil</a> directly to any localized </p>
<p>infection on skin, nails, mouth etc. There are different dosage </p>
<p>instructions and different ways to dilute <a href="http://directoryofhealthtips.com/blog/tag/wild-oregano-oil/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with Wild Oregano Oil">Wild Oregano Oil</a> depending on </p>
<p>where you&#8217;re going to apply it. <a href="http://www.joyofthemountains.com">www.joyofthemountains.com</a> has some good </p>
<p>usage guidelines for various ailments.</p>
<p>An added bonus is you probably won&#8217;t get any flus/colds whilst taking </p>
<p>it!</p>
<p>**IMPORTANT: <a href="http://directoryofhealthtips.com/blog/tag/wild-oregano-oil/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with Wild Oregano Oil">Wild Oregano Oil</a> is a very potent antibiotic and MUST </p>
<p>always be followed with high dose probiotics to replace the good </p>
<p>bacteria it has killed.</p>
<p>WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN A BRAND OF <a href="http://directoryofhealthtips.com/blog/tag/wild-oregano-oil/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with Wild Oregano Oil">WILD OREGANO OIL</a>:</p>
<p>a) Oregano Oil is like probiotics, in that the species and strain are </p>
<p>very important to obtain the desired action/results. Make sure you get </p>
<p>the correct species (Oreganum Vulgare) and subspecies (Hirtum is a good </p>
<p>one).</p>
<p>b) It must be high in naturally-occurring Carvacrol, the species must </p>
<p>have naturally-occurring high levels of Carvacrol &#8211; not just extra </p>
<p>Carvacrol added in later. If you get a brand with the correct species </p>
<p>and subspecies, this will not be a problem.</p>
<p>c) Low in Thymol &#8211; a naturally occurring compound in Oregano Oil that </p>
<p>must be present as it works synergistically with Carvacrol. But, too </p>
<p>much is hard on the liver, so check that levels do not exceed 5%.</p>
<p>Currently, there are only two brands of <a href="http://directoryofhealthtips.com/blog/tag/wild-oregano-oil/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with Wild Oregano Oil">Wild Oregano Oil</a> that I know of </p>
<p>that meet all the specifications above: Joy of The Mountains and North </p>
<p>American Herb &amp; Spice brands. You can also consult either of my books: </p>
<p>LISTEN TO YOUR IBS or LISTEN TO YOUR GUT for full dosage instructions </p>
<p>(how much, when and how) and usage instructions for <a href="http://directoryofhealthtips.com/blog/tag/wild-oregano-oil/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with Wild Oregano Oil">Wild Oregano Oil</a> </p>
<p>with severe or chronic gut infections.</p>
<p>WARNING: DO NOT use <a href="http://directoryofhealthtips.com/blog/tag/wild-oregano-oil/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with Wild Oregano Oil">Wild Oregano Oil</a> if you are using 3 or more </p>
<p>prescription drugs. It will not be safe for your liver. <a href="http://directoryofhealthtips.com/blog/tag/wild-oregano-oil/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with Wild Oregano Oil">Wild Oregano Oil</a> </p>
<p>is not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women, nor for children </p>
<p>under age 5. For children under age 12, you will need to reduce the </p>
<p>dosages here according to their age. Use Young&#8217;s Formula or consult your </p>
<p>doctor to calculate appropriate dosage. Always follow usage with </p>
<p>probiotics</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;</p>

<p>Many people with <a href="http://directoryofhealthtips.com/blog/tag/inflammatory-bowel-disease/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with Inflammatory bowel disease">Inflammatory Bowel Disease</a> have used <a href="http://directoryofhealthtips.com/blog/tag/wild-oregano-oil/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with Wild Oregano Oil">Wild Oregano Oil</a> </p>
<p>instead of pharmaceutical antibiotics and/or anti-fungal and anti-yeast </p>
<p>medications. Are you aware of all the extremely effective natural </p>
<p>protocols you could be using to treat your illness rather than resorting </p>
<p>to damaging drugs and surgery? <a href="http://directoryofhealthtips.com/blog/tag/wild-oregano-oil/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with Wild Oregano Oil">Wild Oregano Oil</a> is just one of them. I </p>
<p>have been drug and surgery-free for over 16 years now, and you can be </p>
<p>too! You can start the Healing Journey today that thousands with IBD and </p>
<p>IBS have already trial-tested, and you can try it risk-free for a whole </p>
<p>year! That&#8217;s right, I&#8217;ll cheerfully refund your money, no questions </p>
<p>asked, it you don&#8217;t feel it&#8217;s worth the money</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;</p>
<p>&#8220;I was told I would need to take pills for the rest of my life and now I </p>
<p>take none!</p>
<p>The initial diet was quite strict however, I now have quite a regular, </p>
<p>normal diet and consume small portions of alcohol. Obviously this is a </p>
<p>fantastic situation from the prospect of being told I would need to take </p>
<p>pills for the rest of my life to where I take none. Many thanks for the </p>
<p>advice in your program.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Many people diagnosed with <a href="http://directoryofhealthtips.com/blog/tag/crohn/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with Crohn">Crohn</a>&#8217;s Disease have already tried </p>
<p>prescription drugs and often surgery to combat their illness. In most </p>
<p>cases, the medical treatments only work to suppress the symptoms for a </p>
<p>while. But since they don&#8217;t heal the underlying causes of <a href="http://directoryofhealthtips.com/blog/tag/crohn/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with Crohn">Crohn</a>&#8217;s, it is </p>
<p>nearly impossible to effect a cure using medical methods. Indeed, you&#8217;d </p>
<p>be hard pressed to find a single gastroenterologist willing to use the </p>
<p>word &#8220;cure&#8221; and &#8220;<a href="http://directoryofhealthtips.com/blog/tag/crohn/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with Crohn">Crohn</a>&#8217;s&#8221; in the same sentence!</p>
<p><a href="http://directoryofhealthtips.com/blog/tag/crohn/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with Crohn">Crohn</a>&#8217;s Disease is usually caused by one or several of the following </p>
<p>factors combining synergistically to produce disease. If you go back </p>
<p>over your own personal <a href="http://directoryofhealthtips.com/blog/tag/health/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with Health">health</a> history, I think you&#8217;ll find a mix of the </p>
<p>following damaging events, that together have degraded the <a href="http://directoryofhealthtips.com/blog/tag/health/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with Health">health</a> of </p>
<p>your gut and immune system:</p>
<p>    * Antibiotic Use &#8211; any antibiotic therapy that is not followed by </p>
<p>full-spectrum probiotic therapy causes lasting, pervasive damage to the </p>
<p>bacterial flora of your gastrointestinal tract (from mouth to anus), </p>
<p>which in turn leads to increased infestation of yeast, parasites, </p>
<p>viruses, bad bacteria and other pathogens. These pathogens degrade the </p>
<p>mucosal lining and damage the intestinal wall (symptoms include </p>
<p>bloating, gas, inflammation, bleeding, etc.) which leads to Leaky Gut </p>
<p>Syndrome, which then triggers allergic and auto-immune response. Certain </p>
<p>antibiotic drugs can cause <a href="http://directoryofhealthtips.com/blog/tag/ulcerative-colitis/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with Ulcerative colitis">ulcerative colitis</a> all by themselves (like </p>
<p>Novo Clindamycin), and the pharmaceutical information that comes with </p>
<p>these products even explicitly warns of this. Yet medical doctors </p>
<p>continue to prescribe them and also don&#8217;t follow usage with probiotics.</p>
<p>    * Environmental and Food-borne Toxins &#8211; processed foods with </p>
<p>preservatives, monosodium glutamate (MSG), artificial sweeteners and </p>
<p>flavors, nitrites and other proven toxins and carcinogens, microwaved </p>
<p>foods, toxins contained in skin care products, shampoos, cosmetics, </p>
<p>furniture, carpets, and the air (to name a few sources) all cause </p>
<p>cellular and systemic damage.</p>
<p>    * Vaccination &#8211; childhood, adult, flu vaccines, etc. Causes direct </p>
<p>damage to bacterial flora of the gut and long-term, immune system </p>
<p>damage. Many scientists feel that vaccination is one of the key factors </p>
<p>behind the massive increase in auto-immune diseases. See my article, </p>
<p>&#8220;Should I Vaccinate My Child?&#8221; for details and scientific references.</p>
<p>    * Emotional Trauma or Abuse &#8211; don&#8217;t underestimate the damaging </p>
<p>effects of abusive or traumatic emotional experiences on the body, and </p>
<p>the gut in particular. For some of you, this may be damage from your </p>
<p>past that was never resolved/healed, and/or ongoing emotional patterns </p>
<p>or experiences that continue to degrade your <a href="http://directoryofhealthtips.com/blog/tag/health/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with Health">health</a> daily. Remember that </p>
<p>60% of your body&#8217;s neurotransmitters are in your gut, not your brain! An </p>
<p>excellent book on this topic is &#8220;When The Body Says No&#8221; by Gabor Mate, </p>
<p>MD.</p>
<p>    * Parasites &amp; Pathogenic Microorganisms &#8211; if your gut ecology is </p>
<p>already weakened or imbalanced, travel to a foreign country or ingestion </p>
<p>of tainted food/water can be the &#8216;straw that breaks the camel&#8217;s back&#8217;. </p>
<p>If your bacterial flora is already imbalanced with a deficit of </p>
<p>beneficial bacteria, then it&#8217;s very easy for parasites, yeast, molds, </p>
<p>bad bacteria, or fungus to flourish. These pathogens then degrade the </p>
<p><a href="http://directoryofhealthtips.com/blog/tag/health/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with Health">health</a> of your intestinal mucosal lining, which can result in </p>
<p>ulceration, inflammation, bleeding and subsequent damage to your </p>
<p>systemic <a href="http://directoryofhealthtips.com/blog/tag/health/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with Health">health</a>.</p>
<p>Each of these causative factors &#8211; including lesser factors like whether </p>
<p>or not you were breastfed, your mother&#8217;s <a href="http://directoryofhealthtips.com/blog/tag/health/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with Health">health</a> while you were in utero, </p>
<p>hereditary/genetic weaknesses, heavy metal levels in your body, mercury </p>
<p>amalgam fillings in your teeth, pesticide exposure, etc. &#8211; will </p>
<p>contribute in varying degrees and combinations to your particular </p>
<p>pathology. Different people are susceptible to different factors and </p>
<p>something that strongly affects your friend adversely, may only mildly </p>
<p>affect you adversely. There is seldom just one factor (pathogen) in </p>
<p>isolation that causes <a href="http://directoryofhealthtips.com/blog/tag/crohn/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with Crohn">Crohn</a>&#8217;s Disease. However, I believe each of us is </p>
<p>capable of identifying our own particular pathology, or the causative </p>
<p>factors, of our own ill <a href="http://directoryofhealthtips.com/blog/tag/health/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with Health">health</a> and then taking the steps that will be </p>
<p>particularly healing to each of us.</p>
<p>Once you&#8217;ve identified the underlying root causes of your <a href="http://directoryofhealthtips.com/blog/tag/crohn/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with Crohn">Crohn</a>&#8217;s, you </p>
<p>can seek out potent natural remedies to heal each of those causative </p>
<p>factors. If infection is one of the initial causes of your <a href="http://directoryofhealthtips.com/blog/tag/crohn/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with Crohn">Crohn</a>&#8217;s, then </p>
<p>your medical doctor will likely already have put you on antibiotics to </p>
<p>wipe out the bad bacteria that are infecting your colon. However, unless </p>
<p>this was followed by therapeutic-grade probiotics, then your colon is </p>
<p>likely infected again, plus overrun with yeast (Candida albicans), which </p>
<p>flourishes following antibiotic usage.</p>
<p>So in this case, you would need a potent natural antibiotic like wild </p>
<p>oregano oil, followed by high dose, therapeutic-grade probiotics and a </p>
<p>low-sugar diet to prevent relapse. The next step of healing would </p>
<p>involve targeted supplements to repair the damage done to your mucosal </p>
<p>lining and intestinal wall &#8211; like L-glutamine, aloe vera, N-acetyl </p>
<p>glucosamine, deglycyrrhizinated licorice, slippery elm, marshmallow </p>
<p>root, etc. You will then need herbs to restore your endocrine (hormonal) </p>
<p>function and detoxify and strengthen your liver. Adrenal support herbs </p>
<p>are also usually required by people healing from <a href="http://directoryofhealthtips.com/blog/tag/crohn/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with Crohn">Crohn</a>&#8217;s &#8211; especially if </p>
<p>they have been on immune suppressants like Prednisone.</p>
<p>Lastly, you need to keep in mind that natural healing is not quick. </p>
<p>Since it is healing the actual cause(s) of your <a href="http://directoryofhealthtips.com/blog/tag/crohn/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with Crohn">Crohn</a>&#8217;s (which no doubt </p>
<p>took a long time to build up in your body), this healing and balancing </p>
<p>will take some time. This is because you are not just healing your overt </p>
<p>symptoms, you are also restoring internal, systemic <a href="http://directoryofhealthtips.com/blog/tag/health/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with Health">health</a>. In addition, </p>
<p>your body will simultaneously be cleansing and detoxing from pathogens, </p>
<p>drug residues, and other toxins, and this also takes time.</p>
<p>But if you truly want to &#8216;cure&#8217; your <a href="http://directoryofhealthtips.com/blog/tag/crohn/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with Crohn">Crohn</a>&#8217;s &#8211; not just suppress the </p>
<p>symptoms, or experience short-term remissions &#8211; then natural, holistic </p>
<p>healing is the pathway to success. Yes. it takes time. This is why I </p>
<p>call it a &#8220;Healing Journey&#8221;, but it is so very worth it.</p>
