'Salt has been an essential, virtually omnipresent part of medicine for thousands of years. It has been used as a remedy, a support treatment, and a preventive measure. Salt can be taken internally or applied topically and continues to be administered in an exceedingly wide variety of forms. 

Although popular and long established in Europe and many other countries, spelenotherapy and halotherapy are quickly catching on in America as powerful alternative and complementary medical modalities. Spelenotherapy is a method that uses the specific and unique properties of natural underground salt caves/mines to treat chronic and allergic respiratory disorders. Halotherapy involves salt aerosol inhalation and the use of saline solutions, typically utilizing a halogenerator.'

'We are beginning to understand why ayahuasca — yagé or “Grandmother Medicine” (a modern name that indicates respect) — is considered to be an entheogen, a substance that “reveals inner divinity.” 

This differs greatly from a hallucinogen or a psychedelic, in that visions and experiences under the influence of ayahuasca (as well as other known entheogens used in ceremonial context) can provide deep and meaningful — often times uninhibited — insights into the nature of life, illness, and well-being, including revelations about the very fabric of existence itself.

 Experiences are seen and felt as “real,” as opposed to flat-out hallucinations, which ultimately are of little or no consequence, as they are mere mental stimulation, no matter how amusing. It is as if upon drinking the medicine a window to other worlds is opened to realities that exist right here and now, closely alongside our own. Boundaries and egos crumble. It is without doubt a shift of viewpoint, an extension of experience beyond ordinary consciousness.

'Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a neurological disease that directly affects the central nervous system and limits one’s ability to use the body – all while coping with odd sensations and pains. 

Unfortunately very much like the Cancer Industry, the Multiple Sclerosis Association of America (MSAA) and its fundraising network the National Multiple Sclerosis Society collects donations to find the “cure” while ignoring several existing natural treatments.

They are shilling for Big Pharma and the AMA to make sure MS remains “incurable” with prolonged ineffective costly “treatments”. But as mentioned, a number of natural treatments for multiple sclerosis do exist, from upping vitamin D intake to utilizing the oh-so-terrible plant marijuana.'

'Oregano is nature's antibiotic. It may be one reason why people who eat a Mediterranean diet tend to live longer and healthier lives. Besides making pizza, pasta and salad taste great, the oil of the wild oregano plant has been shown to kill unwanted bacteria, fungus, yeast, parasites and viruses. It's a powerful antihistamine. New research is finding that oil of oregano is as effective against colitis as prescription drugs without the harmful side effects. It is also able to regenerate liver cells.'

The mere mention of consuming apple seeds, cherry pits, apricot seeds, or bitter almonds tends to cause almost panic attacks or angry reactions in some. Why? Cyanide is in them. So they're justified in freaking out, right?

As a rumor based on too little knowledge, their concern is understandable. (...)

But as the saying goes, "a little knowledge is a dangerous thing." In this case the fear of fruit seeds and bitter almonds and other nuts is based on incomplete data. The compound containing cyanide is amygdalin.

'A hundred years ago less than 1 in 1000 people died of cancer. According to the World Health Organization ‘Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide and accounted for 7.6 million deaths (around 13% of all deaths) in 2008. Deaths from cancer worldwide are projected to continue to rise to over 11 million in 2030.’

“If I am able to help only one cancer sufferer to escape the excruciating and inescapable pain of death caused through treatment by ‘orthodox methods,’ I have done something worthwhile.”'

-Maurice Natenberg, author of ‘The Cancer Blackout‘

'A Brazilian scientist reviews scientific and anecdotal evidence, concludes that further research into the use of ayahuasca as an alternative cancer treatment is warranted

According to a review of evidence of the use of ayahuasca in treating illness, both traditionally and currently, Brazilian scientist Eduardo E. Schenberg has suggested that the Amazonian hallucinogenic brew is worthy of further study as a potential alternative cancer treatment—for some types of the disease.'
