We advice people to read the Terms of use before trying out any treatments listed in this book. Our websites goal however is to allow people to share and rate treatments in order to make it clear which treatments work best. Using our voting system, the best treatments move up to the top of the list for each disease which makes it easy to see clearly what treatments are working best for each disease.

Acid reflux / Gastroesophageal reflux / Heartburn

Title Treatment
Over-the-counter antacids in tablet or liquid form can help cool the burn. Take a dose about every six hours as needed. Dont overdo it, though, because too much antacid can cause constipation or diarrhea. Even if you forget to take an antacid during the day, you should try to remember to take one at bedtime if you suffer from frequent heartburn. You need to protect your esophagus from the pooling of stomach acids that commonly occurs at night, when you are horizontal for hours on end. Heartburn that occurs during the night causes more damage than daytime heartburn In my experience staying away from anything that includes acid or soda has helped keepAcid refluxat bay. Drinks such as Coca cola, soda water, fruit juice, ice tea all contain these acids that cause the reflux to worsen. Be careful about what you drink Coffee and milk are also very bad. Most alcahol is also a big no no. So if you wanna stay safe, I would recommend trying to drink water instead of these drinks anytime you can. It takes some getting used to, about 2-4 weeks, but once you are there it doesnt matter at all.

Acne (Pimples)
Title Treatment
iam 26 and ive been having acne problem for 3 years eventhough ive seen many doctors and used many products (medicine and cosmetics)untill now. Nothing helped me except roaccutane. Actually the creams i used made my skin worse. When the last doc i saw suggested me to use roaccute i felt horrible due to the things ive read and heard about roaccutane before. That moment i wanted to shout outWHY! After a long search and soothing words of my doc i accepted the treatment. Now its my 4th month with roaccutane.I take 30mg everyday since i am 50kg. i do not have any side effects but dry skin and lips. I use some special cosmetics for dehydrated skin and high protection sun cream my doctor recommended me so that the side effect does not bother me. Every month my doc checks my kidneys,livers and cholestrol to be sure evertything is ok and thankfully they are all okay. My skin? fresh and smooth! better than i expected! Consequently do not afraid of roaccutane just find a good doctor!!!

Generously lather hands with cleansing wash or bar. Apply thick lather to face as if it were shaving cream. Shave. Re-lather hands. Wash other problem areas gently with bare hands.

Acne (Pimples)
Title Treatment
When I first tried the oil cleansing method I used 60% EVOO and 30% castor oil, I dont recommend it, I had a severed breakout. I decided to try again few weeks later, but this time, I researched it extensively. I recommend using jojoba oil or grapeseed oil with castor oil if you have oily and acne prone skin. Olive oil is not good for your skin, too thick. I recommend starting out with 60% castor oil and 40% jojoba oil. In the end I went up to 75% castor oil and 25% jojoba oil due to my oily skin. I had a great result using this method, you should stick with the method for a while even though your skin clears completely, just to make sure it wont come again. Zincworks for me. Im a 16 year old girl who has moderate - severe acne plus hyperpigmentation. Ive researched everything and finally discovered that taking 2 50mg zinc gluconate caplets eveyday or other day with a meal clears my skin remarkably. I also suggest a skin product calledAcnevir(found at walmart), which is what i use alongside zinc. Its a topical gel formula( benzoyl peroxide) worked wonders.. Anyways i recommend this. Drink this with your daily recommended intake of water and of course a relatively healthy diet and your skin will improve! You will thank yourself and of course zinc! (Oh and the brand of zinc for me was a store brand at CVS)

Acne (Pimples)
Title Treatment
My skin was at its worse and my self esteem was plunging with it. I tried to avoid looking in the mirror at all times b/c it was a constant reminder of acne on my face. I always felt that people were looking at my acne and not at me when i was talking to them. I was desperate to find ways of reducing and hopefully finally stopping the acne from appearing on my face. I read online about lemons that helps reduce acne and the scarring that follows with it. Although, I also read that drinking water with some lemon juice is good for acne and helps kick up your metabolism in the morning haha. I just used it topically and I have to say it really does the trick, but like it said it WILL sting while u leave it to sit on your face. It just takes a few weeks for it to stop stinging. My face was slowly getting better, but the scars from previous acne breakouts were still there. I like to call them battle scars since it sounds cooler LOL anyways. Lemons also help your skin to exfoliate from what i read so as i kept using it every night. My scars were slowly going away too. I know that this description is pretty long and it isnt enough to justify how well lemons do the trick since i avoided taking pictures also.... So please give lemons a try and see if it does anything for your acne! :D For pimples on my back (bacne) I use head and shoulders shampoo. Bacne treatment At first I take a shower, then afterwards I rub head and shoulders shampoo (the normal kind) and leave it on for 10-30 minutes before I wash it off with another quick shower. (CAUTION: This treatment can cause sensitive skin to dry up and even burn, so use at your own risk) Take 6 aspirin and grind them into dust, then mix with alcohol and let it sit for 3 days. Once 3 days have passed, apply the mixture to the area that is affected by the pimples. This treatment works best for teenage pimples. Cut onion in few pieces and boil in water then filter. Apply it on pimples with a cotton bud. Wait 3 min. Do it 2 times in a day ( 6 hours apart ) for a week.

Allergies
Title
Treatment Vitamin Cis a natural antihistamine, helping to reduce nasal secretions and inflammation. Flavonoids such as quercetin, rutin, and hesperidin also have antihistamine properties and work well with vitamin C. Luckily, this vitamin and the flavonoids occur together in many favorite garden foods, such as berries, plums, citrus fruits, peppers, spinach, and broccoli. Nettleis useful for reducing hay fever symptoms. Take a tincture made from the leaves. Use 2-4 mL three times per day. Nettle leaves can also be taken in tea or capsule form. Angelicaworks for hay fever as well as other allergic reactions. It contains compounds that block the bodys production of certain antibodies (IgE) that are made as the result of an allergic response. Use about half a teaspoon per cup of water for tea. Chili pepper, or cayenne, contains capsaicin. This active ingredient helps desensitize the mucosa that line the airways, thus preventing them from secreting excessive fluids and becoming inflamed when exposed to irritants.

Anxiety (angst or worry)

Title
Treatment I would like to share with you a little solution that I advice to my psychology patients in order to reduce angst and anxiety when something is bothering them and they spend too much time worrying about it without finding a solution. When you are in that situation of worrying about something but cant find a solution, you should limit the time you allow yourself to worry about that problem to 10 minutes every 2 hours. So if you have thought about the problem for 10 minutes without any conclusion, then do everything you can to draw your mind from it for the next 2 hours. After those 2 hours have passed allow yourself to think about it for another 10 minutes. If you still cant come to a conclusion then repeat these steps until you find a solution. Using this method you can greatly reduce anxiety and stress. Kind regards, rhildur Einarsdttir, psychologist.

Asthma
Title
Treatment Having had asthma for more than a decade I have tried many methods. I have tried to use yoga breating, coffee and other stimulants to use when having an attack. Nothing works except using Ventolin when having a breathing trouble. I use the inhaler the second I sense that my breathing is getting worse. If I wait too long I will suffer from serious breathing trouble and might pass out. 6-7 middle size, dark brown carobs have to be cut into pieces. Heat 0.5 L water. Wash the carobs. Put in boiling water. Wait 8-9 min. Filter the mixture and pour into a glass bottle when its cold. IMPORTANT: It can be kept in the fridge only for 3 days. Breath of Carob For adults, half glass of carob tea can be used before breakfast and dinner. For kids, half glass of carob tea can be used before breakfast. Drink for 20 days. After 20 days, have a small spoon of carob and honey instead for 15 days. IMPORTANT: do not eat extra honey for breakfast.

Back Pain
Title
Treatment Step 1 Wear properly fitted walking shoes and comfortable clothes. Walking shoes provide you with the support you need while exercising. Comfortable clothes prevent irritation and rubbing, which can make your walks painful. Step 2 Walk 30 minutes, most days of the week. If you are currently sedentary, start by walking as little as five minutes a day, gradually increasing the amount of time you walk as you feel more comfortable. Walking to relieve back pain Step 3 Add walk breaks throughout the day. Walk breaks are particularly beneficial if you have a largely sedentary job. A few minutes of walking every hour can decrease back pain that develops as a result of sitting in front of a computer or in a vehicle for extended periods of time. Step 4 Schedule additional activities for a change of pace. Bicycling, yoga and swimming all strengthen the back and are low-impact activities, making them good alternatives to walking.

Chondromalacia patellae (CMP) / Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PPS)

Title
Treatment Very commonly this condition is due to muscle imbalance within your Quadriceps which is made up of 4 individual muscles. As an example: vastus medialis (front-tigh muscle closest to the midline) can be to strong for the vastus lateralis (front-thigh muscle furthes away from the midline) resulting in the knee cap tracking improperly across the knee joint shifted towards the midline of the body. In many cases this can be fixed by: 1) rest to get some of the inflammation away. Good to use none-steroidal anti inflammatory drugs and do swimming or easy cycling meanwhile. Nothing that puts to much strain on the knees and no jumping or running. 2) when the knees have stopped hurting like hell gradually start doing exercises that strengthen your quadriceps. This can be any exercise where you can control the weight or resistance yourself. Leg extensions in the gym can be very benefitial but remember to BEGIN SLOWLY with light weights. Instructions in link below http://www.bodybuilding.com/exercises/detail/view/name/leg-extensions If you cant get to the gym sit on your dining table with a schoolbag attached to your foot. Control the weight with adding or removing books. As a suggestion do 3 sets at a time of 8-12 repetitions each set 3) STRETCH your quadriceps. Stretching can help reducing the muscle imbalance due to the fact that the strong big muscle is very commonly shorter than the weak muscle. Stretching the quads therefore firsts puts strain on the shorter stronger muscle. Stretching can therefore lengthen your strong muscle causing the problem reducing the maltracking. Another benefit of exercising your quadriceps is that they become bigger. If they are bigger the patella is automatically pulled a little bit away from the knee joint itself. As a result it does not rub as tightly agains the knee joint therefore reduces your problem!

Common cold
Title
Treatment Drink plenty of fluids.Fluids may help thin the mucus, thus keeping it flowing freely and making it easier for the body to expel, along with the viral particles trapped within it. Water and other liquids also combat dehydration. So drink at least eight ounces of fluid every two hours. Rest.Staying away from work is probably a good idea in order to refill your energy. Your coworkers will also probably appreciate your not spreading your cold virus around the office. If you do decide to stay home, dont go cleaning the house or something like that, just relax, read a good book, watch television, take naps. Dont get cold.While cold air doesnt cause colds, it definitely does not make it better. So stay indoors at a temperature you feel warm and comfortable at and keep covered, especially if you have a fever. Dont place any unessicary stress on your body. Vaporize it.The steam from a vaporizer can loosen mucus, especially if the mucus has become thick. (You can get a similar effect by draping a towel over your head and bending over a pot of boiled water; just be careful not to burn yourself.) A humidifier will add moisture to your immediate environment, which may make you feel more comfortable and will keep your nasal tissues moist. Thats helpful because dry nasal membranes provide poor protection against viral invasion. Stop smoking.Do I really have to mention it? Maintain a positive attitude.Although mind-body science is in its infancy, some researchers suggest that a positive I-canbeat-this-cold attitude may bolster the immune system while you fight a cold. On the other hand, a negative attitude could cause your bodys defenses to fall down on the job. Not all doctors are convinced there is a connection between the mind and the immune system, but staying upbeat certainly wont make your cold worse.

Common cold
Title
Treatment Its not just a myth: Researchers at the University of Nebraska Medical Center discovered that the benefits of chicken soup are more than just comfort and good taste. Chicken soup appears to have anti-inflammatory properties that may help us feel better while we wait for a cold to run its course. What they discovered is that chicken soup reduces the activity of neutrophils in the body. Neutrophils are part of our immune system -- a type of white blood cell that can trigger our bodys inflammatory response. By reducing that inflammatory response, chicken soup may help reduce cold symptoms. Vitamin C is an antioxidant, and like other antioxidants such as vitamin E, selenium and beta-carotene (which the body turns into vitamin A), it helps keep our bodies free from infection and fight off infections that do strike. Dont consider them protection from colds, though -- while there are conflicting results about the ability of vitamin C to protect you from catching a cold, the vitamin will likely only help to reduce your symptoms. In addition to adding more antioxidant-rich foods and supplements to your cold-fighting diet, also consider zinc. While the verdict is still out, zinc may help your body produce more white blood cells, your immune systems key infection fighters.

Diabetes mellitus (DM)

Title
Exercise Treatment I believe exercising three times a week has helped me considerably to fight diabetes. On top of that it is simply so healthy for any number of reasons. So what are you waiting for? Studies indicate thatOlive oilmay reduce blood-sugar levels. Use it in salad dressing or wherever cooking oils are indicated. For an inexpensive and easy no-stick olive oil spray-on coating, buy an oil mister in any department store kitchen supply area and use it to spray your pans before cooking. Remember: As with all oils, olive oil is high in calories, and being overweight places you at risk for diabetes. Limiting the amount of olive oil by using the oil mister is a good way to control the calories. Dry, itchy skin is a side effect of diabetes, and soaking in a tub of salt water can be a great itchy skin reliever. Just add 1 cup table salt or sea salt to your bathwater. This solution will also soften skin and relax you. To exfoliate, after you take a shower or bath and while your skin is still wet, sprinkle salt onto your hands and rub it all over your skin. This salt massage will remove dry skin and make your skin smoother to the touch. It will also invigorate your skin and get your circulation moving. Try it first thing in the morning to help wake up or after a period of physical exertion. When your blood sugar goes too low. A spoonful of straight sugar will work, as will a piece of hard candy. Only use it when necessary, your doctor can help you know when that would be. It is said thatAsparaguscan be beneficial in the control of diabetes. Eat it steamed and drizzled with olive oil and lemon juice A tasty substitute for salt. Its great squeezed into a diet cola, too. It cuts the aftertaste.

Eczema
Title
Treatment I started getting eczema when I was 27, I was bothered by it for quite a while while wasting money on steroid creams subscribed by so-called skin doctors. After a year and a half I read in a newspaper that dark honey is known to cure many skin illnesses. I started eating one table spoon a day and it completely cured me in about ten days. Now I dont eat dark honey regularly but whenver the eczema starts coming back i just eat a bit of dark honey for a while, problem gone. I have personally confirmed this over and over, the effect and its magnitude is beyond any reasonable doubt.

Eczema
Title
Treatment I have been suffering from eczema that is mostly affected by cold, making hands dry up so badly they start bleeding. My doctor gave me steroids which heals the wounds temporarily. But my father had a similar issue and used steroids to heal it but ended up ruining his skin, making it resemble plastic, so I am not too fond of using those steroids. Locobase REPAIR I have however had great success with the Locobase REPAIR cream, I use it daily and it keeps the eczema almost non existent. It does not cure it, but it sure makes it easy to live with it. NOTE: A friend of mine also uses a very similar substance from another manufacturer called VICHY, so if you cant get a hold of Locobase REPAIR, do some research and see if there isnt something else that you can get a hold of that has the same substance and ability to repair damaged skin.

Fetal alcohol syndrome (Alcohol-related birth defects)

Title
Treatment Fetal Alcohol Syndromehas no cure or treatment, however there are a couple of protective factors that can help prevent the development of secondary conditions associated with Fetal Alcahol Syndrome (FAS) Early Diagnosis Those who have knowingly consumed alcahol during the maternal period should definitely be aware of the possible consequences right from the start. The earlier a FAS child is placed in appropriate educational classes and given the help it needs, the better the prognosis. Special Education Fetal Alcohol Syndrome Prevention (FAS) Research has shown that FAS children who are given special education designed for their needs and learning ability are far more likely to achieve their developmental and educational potential. Social Services It is also helpful if FAS children and their family receive social services -- such as respite care, stress management training or behavioral management training -- have more positive outcomes compared with families who do not receive those kinds of services. Nurturing Environment All children benefit from a loving, nurturing and stable home life. But children with fetal alcohol syndrome have been found to be more sensitive to disruptions, transient lifestyles and harmful relationships. To prevent the secondary conditions associated with FAS, children who have fetal alcohol syndrome need support from family and the community.

Hair loss (Alopecia)

Title
Treatment Ive been in trouble with hair loss for ages. There are some recipes i got while struggling with this problem. They are the most useful ones i got and hopefully they would be helpful for you. When a friend of my grandma recommended me to use white cabbage i didnt take it serious. But its affective as much as an expensive shampoo. Use a mixer and get white cabbage juice Apply it everyday. Onion juice can be used with it Here the second one i like. Boil 100gr stinging nettle in water and pour a big spoon of vinegar then keep on boiling a bit. Apply it for 10 days not more. Sometimes mixtures are not enough. You should eat fruit vegatable and fish. I make and drink some herbal tea everyday. I belive it helps. Boil horsetail plant with a glass of water for 5 min and drink it. Its tasteless thats why some sugar can be added.

Here are my recipes!!!

Halitosis (bad breath)

Title Treatment
Keep your mouth clean.Brush your teeth well at least twice a day, and floss daily. Food and bacteria trapped between teeth and at the gum line can be removed only with floss; if its left too for too long, it really wont smell nice. Periodontal disease can result in chronically bad breath. Clean your tongue Bacteria on your tongue can contribute to foul breath, so be sure to brush your tongue after you have brushed your teeth. Ditch your dentures.If you wear dentures, never wear them to sleep. Give them a thorough cleaning and leave them out until morning. Several treatments for bad breath Wet your whistle.A dry mouth can equal to a bad breath. Saliva helps clean your mouth; it has a natural antibacterial action and it washes away food particles. (Reduced saliva flow at night explains why your breath smells sour when you wake up in the morning.) Try sucking on sugarless mints to stimulate saliva production. Dont stress out.Stress can dry out your mouth, causing bad breath. Avoid potent foods.Garlic and onions, among other foods, contain sulfur compounds that move on to the lungs after they are absorbed in the bloodstream. Certain fish, such as anchovies, and seaweed are high in fishy amine odors. Unfortunately, during the move the chemicals that make these foods so tasty and pungent stick around. And they dont smell so great as you whisper sweet nothings into your sweethearts ear.

Hangover
Title
Treatment Step 1:If you are clear minded enough before going to bed, I recommend drinking a lot of water, and I mean a lot! at least 2 glasses. Step 2:Try to sleep for as long as you can, nothing beats a good nights sleep in order to cure a nasty hangover. My routine for curing hangover Step 3:If step 1 and 2 did not work then try drinking some more liquids, milk tends help a lot. Step 4:Eat a fat sweaty hamburger, or other equivalent. Step 5:Take a nap. Like I said before, nothing beats sleeping. Final step:If nothing else works the only solution, if you are in great pain, is to think short-term and open a can of beer. Let the future you deal with the problem tomorrow.

Headache / Cephalalgia
Title
Treatment A dose of an over-the-counter (OTC) analgesic, such as aspirin, acetaminophen, or ibuprofen, is often enough to alleviate the occasional headache. But if you take more than two doses a day frequently or for more than four or five days in a row to relieve headache pain, contact your doctor. Taking pain relievers too often can actually worsen your headache pain. Lying down and closing your eyes for half an hour or more may be one of the best treatments for a bad headache. For some types of headaches, such as migraines, sleep is the only thing that seems to interrupt the pain cycle. Recognizing the early signs of a headache can keep the pain from getting out of control, since doctors say the sooner you get to bed or lie on a sofa, the sooner a headache

Headache / Cephalalgia
Title
Treatment Especially if your symptoms resemble those of a migraine (such as severe pain on one side of the head, nausea, blurred vision, and extreme sensitivity to light), resting in a darkened room may alleviate the pain, experts agree. Bright light may also cause headaches. Even staring at a glowing computer screen may be enough to trigger pain on the brain. Wearing tinted glasses or using other means to filter bright light and minimize glare may help prevent headaches. A washcloth dipped in ice-cold water and placed over the eyes or an ice pack placed on the site of the pain are other good ways of relieving a headache. You might also see if your pharmacy sells special ice packs that surround the whole head (known as headache hats) or frozen gel-packs that can be inserted into pillows. Whatever you use, keep in mind that speed is critical: Using ice as soon as possible after the onset of the headache will relieve the pain within 20 minutes for most people.

Herpes labialis (Cold sore)

Title
Treatment Lysineis an essential amino acid, meaning that we must get it through food or supplements because the body cant make it on its own. Its used to make protein, which we need to produce infection-fighting antibodies, enzymes, hormones, and body tissues. Lysine has been found to inhibit the spread of the herpes simplex virus. Although we get lysine through food sources such as red meat, milk, eggs, cheese, wheat germ, brewers yeast, and fish, what appears to be most important is the ratio of lysine to another amino acid, arginine. They compete with each other for absorption in the intestines, so the less arginine there is in the diet, the more lysine is absorbed. Foods that are rich in arginine include chocolate, peanuts, and almonds. In addition to these temporary dietary changes: Lysine supplements (e.g. 1,000 mg taken three times a day) may help to shorten the duration of cold sores. Lysine ointment - a pilot study by the Southern California University looked at the effectiveness of a lysine-containing ointment in 30 people. Researchers found that the ointment produced full resolution in 40% of participants by the third day and in 87 percent by the end of the sixth day. No adverse effects were reported. Lemon balm (Melissa officinalis) has antiviral properties. In a research study conducted in hospitals and dermatology clinics in Germany, lemon balm cream promoted the healing of blisters in five days compared to 10 days in the control group. Used on regularly, lemon balm cream may decrease the frequency of recurrences.

Treatment Reishi, also called Ganoderma lucidum is a type of mushroom that has a long history of use in traditional Asian medicine to strengthen the immune system. Preliminary evidence shows that reishi may inhibit the spread of the herpes virus. A typical dose is 600 milligrams once or twice a day. Reishi Reishi is available in powder or supplement form. Reishi can delay blood clotting, so consult your doctor before taking reishi if you are taking aspirin, warfarin (coumadin), or any other medications or supplements that interfere with clotting. In traditional Chinese medicine, reishi is often used in conjunction with a herb called astragalus. Astragalus has been found to improve immune function in people with herpes simplex keratitis. Resveratrol, a compound found naturally in red grapes, has been shown to be active against the herpes simplex virus in laboratory studies. A study by the Northeastern Ohio University demonstrated that resveratrol cream applied topically two, three, or five times a day effectively suppressed cold sore development if it was applied one or 6 hours after infection with the herpes virus. Resveratrol cream was also found to be as effective as 5% acyclovir ointment (Zovirax). Resveratrol cream also effectively suppressed cold sore formation in animals with herpes simplex infection that was resistant to acyclovir. No side effects were reported. A study by the University of Heidelberg found that peppermint essential oil was found to penetrate the skin and have a direct virucidal effect againt the herpes simplex virus. Peppermint oil was also found to be active against an acyclovir-resistant strain of the herpes simpex virus. Although its promising, peppermint oil shouldnt be used until studies have established its safety. Peppermint oil is absorbed through the skin so even small amounts could be toxic. Peppermint oil should never be ingested.

Treatment Propolis, also called bee propolis, is a brownish, resinous substance. Bees collect it from poplar and conifer buds and use it cement their hives and keep them germ-free. It is sold in health food stores. Propolis A study found that propolis was active against herpes simplex 1 virus. It is believed to work by preventing the virus from entering body cells and by blocking the replication and spread of the virus. For more information about propolis, read the Propolis Fact Sheet. The herbself-heal, also known as Prunella vulgaris is a perennial plant commonly found in China and Europe. Self-heal Extracts of this herb have been found to be effective against both herpes simplex 1 and 2 viruses. It is also believed to work against acyclovir-resistant strains of the herpes virus.

Hypertension (High blood pressure)

Title
Treatment Exerciselowers blood pressure and helps you lose weight. Check with your doctor before exercising, however -- if your blood pressure is very high, your doctor might want to get it under control before you begin an exercise regimen. This is especially important if you have been sedentary. The types of exercise that are most likely to benefit your blood pressure are aerobic activities, such as walking, jogging, stair-climbing, aerobic dance, swimming, bicycling, tennis, skating, skiing, or anything else that elevates your pulse and sustains the elevation for at least 20 minutes.

Hypertension (High blood pressure)

Title
Reduce alcohol consumption Treatment Alcoholmay cause a rise in blood pressure. So do your best to reduce your consumption if you want to lower blood pressure. Cigarette smoking is the main problem for people with hypertension. Not only does nicotine contained cause blood pressure to rise, but it dramatically increases the risk of having a stroke. Cigarette smoking can thicken the blood and increase its propensity to clot. Blood clots in the arteries leading to the heart can cause a heart attack, while blood clots in the artery leading to the brain may cause a stroke. The good news is, you get an immediate benefit by giving up the habit. Within two years of quitting, your risk of developing coronary artery disease drops as low as that of someone who doesnt smoke. (In contrast, it can take much longer for a persons risk of lung cancer to drop to that level.) Your doctor can recommend local resources to help you quit. Bananas have been proved to help reduce blood pressure. The average person needs three to four servings of potassium-rich fruits and vegetables each day. Some experts believe doubling this amount may benefit your blood pressure. If bananas arent your favorite bunch of fruit, try dried apricots, raisins, currants, orange juice, spinach, boiled potatoes with skin, baked sweet potatoes, cantaloupe, and winter squash. Vitamin Chelps prevent free radicals from damaging artery walls, and it may help improve high blood pressure. Take a supplement or eat vitamin C-rich foods.

Influenza (Flu)
Title
Treatment Get Plenty of Rest Plan on sleeping and otherwise taking it easy for a few days. This shouldnt be hard to do considering fatigue is one of the main symptoms, so you wont feel like doing much other than lounging in bed or on the couch, anyway. Consider it a good excuse to take a needed break from the daily stresses of life. And if you absolutely must continue to work, at least get to bed earlier than usual and try to go into the office a little later in the morning. Drinkplenty of any nonalcoholic, decaffeinated liquid (caffeine and alcohol both act as diuretics, which actually increase fluid loss) will help keep you hydrated and will also thin mucous secretions. The flu can cause a loss of appetite, but patients often find warm, salty broth agreeable. If youre not eating much, juices are a good choice, too, since they provide nutrients you may be missing.

Insomnia (Sleeplessness)
Title
Treatment You should finish eating two or three hours before bedtime. However, that comforting nighttime snack of milk and cookies may be just what the doctor ordered to get you back in bed. Sugary foods eaten about 30 minutes before bedtime can actually act as a sedative, and you can wake up without the morning fuzziness that accompanies synthetic sleeping pills. Honey has the same sedative effect as sugar and may get you to bed more quickly. Try adding 1 tablespoon honey to some decaffeinated herbal tea or even to your warm milk for a relaxing presleep drink. Drinking a glass of milk, especially a glass of warm milk, before bedtime is an age-old treatment for sleeping troubles. Some scientists believe its the presence of tryptophan, a chemical that helps the brain ease into sleep mode, that does the trick. Whatever the reason, milk seems to help some people hit the sack more easily. And warm milk seems to be more effective at relaxing body and mind. However, if you wake frequently to urinate, avoid liquids for a few hours before bedtime. Other foods high on the tryptophan scale are cottage cheese, cashews, chicken, turkey, soybeans, and tuna.

Insomnia (Sleeplessness)
Title
Treatment Some experts believe a tryptophan deficiency can cause problems with sleep. Made from tryptophan, 5-HTP helps the body make serotonin. Low levels of serotonin are a known factor in sleepless nights. Taking a 5-HTP supplement may be a benefit if your body has low levels of tryptophan. How do you know if youre low? Low levels of tryptophan are most common in people who are depressed. If your insomnia is associated with depression, it might be a good question to ask your doctor. In one study, 100 mg of the supplement was enough to make sleep longer and better. Melatoninis the timekeeper of the body. Its a hormone that regulates your biological clock. As you get older you make less melatonin, which experts believe is probably why older folks have more trouble sleeping. Research is showing that taking a melatonin supplement can help you sleep. Ask your doctor about taking 1 to 3 mg of melatonin 11/2 to 2 hours before bedtime. Valerianis a staple medicinal herb used throughout Europe. And, unlike benzodiazepines, using valerian to treat insomnia increases the amount of time spent in deep and rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. Valerian contains chemicals with strong muscle-relaxant and sedative properties called valepotriates. All parts of the plant contain these chemicals, but they are most concentrated in the roots. Ironically, even valerian preparations without valepotriates have helped some people to fall asleep, raising the possibility that some still unidentified chemical, or a reaction amongst various compounds in the root, may produce a calming effect. One of the the best things I done was to get the best memory foam mattress I could afford I went for something that was around 75KG Ive never has such as great night sleep since. Top that off with some memory foam pillows and a pinch of lavander on the pillow did help me sleep. I also stoped eating upto 2 hours before going to bed and only drinking some water, nothing with stimulants in! I wish you the very best of luck :) Put on a pair of socks It has sometimes helped me to put on a pair of socks when I cant sleep. It makes you feel warmer and relaxes you so that you fall asleep more easily.

LeggCalvPerthes syndrome
Title
Treatment A highly effective treatment for Perthes disease consists in applying an external fixator to distract the femoral head in order to minimize the risk of collapse, resulting in a deformed femoral head causing a need for hip replacement later in life. The treatment consists in fixing an external frame to the femur and hip. This is typically left on for 3-4 months and then removed. After removal special braces may be used for several months. Physicians known to have used this treatment for a long time with good results are Dr. Dror Paley, St. Marys hospital, West Palm Beach, Florida, Dr. Nuno Craveiro Lopes, Garcia de Orta hospital, Lisbon and Dr. Shawn Standard, Sinai hospital, Baltimore. The fixator is typically used when the femoral head is starting to build up again after breakdown. Transphyseal neck to head femoral drilling has been used a a preventative treatment for Perthes disease for about 20 years. In the Lisbon area in Portugal, where a complete system for diagnosis and treatment has been put in place, the number of severe cases of Perthes has dropped by 3/4 since initiation. The operation consists in drilling into the femoral head in order to get blood flowing again, thus preventing the bone to break down as otherwise would happen. The best result (appr. 100%) is achieved if the treatment is applied at the very first signs of the disease. This treatment was originally invented by Dr. Nuno Craveiro Lopes, Garcia de Orta hospital, Lisbon but is being used increasingly by other specialists.

Lyme disease (Borrelia)

Title
Antibiotics Treatment There are a number of different antibiotics that are helpful with lyme for many people, both oral and IV. Doxycycline is most common. There are many herbs that help with different aspects of lyme, and several protocols that feature herbs, including from Dr. Cowden and Dr. Buhner. Common ones not included in those protocols are: grapefruit seed extract, oregano oil, garlic, lumbrokinase (for biofilms).

Lyme disease (Borrelia)

Title
Treatment Infrared saunas have a dual purpose for lyme treatment: detoxing and raising the body temp (many people think lyme cant live above 104 degrees, so safely--and temporarily--raising your core temp may be a pathogen killing method. It also helps with pain relief. Rifing uses frequencies to kill pathogens. This is a controversial treatment both in and out of the lyme community, but doesnt appear to actually be dangerous so much as people question whether it actually does anything. The theory is that, like a wine glass with an opera singer, you can direct a particular frequency at the pathogens that is specific to it and they will explode. This are critical when taking antibiotics-- you can make yourself very sick by wiping out all bacteria in your system with antibiotics, so it is important to be replacing the friendly ones. They can also help with certain digestive ailments lyme patients can find themselves with. Essential! Lyme produces neurotoxins that can really mess up your system--creating pain, inflammation, headaches, etc. And when you successfully kill off a bunch of the bugs, your system can get very overloaded with these toxins. Saunas (especially infrared ones), detox baths (usually with some combination of epsom salts, hydrogen peroxide and baking soda) and fresh lemon water are examples of ongoing detox methods used by a lot of lyme patients. You can also do more intensive cleansing and even fasting (though be careful with this: it can be very beneficial, but if you are very weak or have never done it before, exercise real caution, or wait until you are in a better space to do it.)

Migraine
Title
Treatment Vitamin B2 (riboflavin) can help reduce the intensity and frequency of a migraine attack. The reason is that people who tend to get migraines are thought to have unusually low levels or energy supplies left in their brains, vitamin B2 increases those supplies. Vitamin B2 and herbs The herbs Ginkgo and Feverfew also help in lowering the intensity of the pain, making the migraine attack easier to cope with. Other than that I recommend lying down in a dark quiet room during a migraine attack.

Morphea
Title
Treatment This treatment is one of many popular treatments that are being tried on various amount of people to try to cure Morphea. The UV light(Ultraviolet A (UVA)) therapy works in the way of entering special designed UV light cells. The time spent in the cells vary from ~5 minutes up to 20 minutes, depending on the process of the therapy. Notes: To participate in this therapy, one must contact a doctor. The person inside of the cell must wear eye protection glasses. UV light therapy During the therapy, the person will have to wear sun glasses on daily bases(at least on the days that the medicine is used), to protect the eyes; the medicine mentioned before makes the body be more vonurable to sunlight. Wikipedia lists those two reasons why and how this therapy might work: 1) by causing a systemic immunosuppression from UV light. 2) by inducing enzymes that naturally degrade the collagen matrix in the skin as part of natural sun-aging of the skin. Remember that there has not been found a single solution to cure Morphea, this might not work for everyone, results vary between people and often no changes are seen at all. A special medicine must be taken during the therapy.

Multiple sclerosis (MS)

Title
Treatment Endovascular treatment for chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency (CCSVI) in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). An Italian doctor by the name of Paolo Zamboni, made a discovery in 2009 that has bin very contreversial to the medical society. Although this is only a theory, it has bin reported that some patients have bin symptom free for some time after the treatment. This treatment is described as; Dr. Paolo Zamboni took 65 patients with relapsing-remitting MS, performed a simple operation to unblock restricted bloodflow out of the brain - and two years after the surgery, 73% of the patients had no symptoms. - Gizmag.com Although, this has not bin recorded as a 100% cure, but mearly as a way to releviate the symptoms of the disease. Dr. Paolo Zamboni found that, 90% of the peaople who have MS, have some blockage of some sort in the vein that drains blood from the brain. Dr. Paolo Zamboni formed a hypothesis on how this could lead to MS; ...iron builds up in the brain, blocking and damaging these crucial blood vessels. As the vessels rupture, they allow both the iron itself, and immune cells from the bloodstream, to cross the blood-brain barrier into the cerebro-spinal fluid. Once the immune cells have direct access to the immune system, they begin to attack the myelin sheathing of the cerebral nerves - Multiple Sclerosis develops. Dr. Paolo Zamboni named the problem Chronic Cerebro-Spinal Venous Insufficiency, or CCSVI. This treatment is still being researched and Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada accepted Zambonis treatment as promising, but many clinics have adobted this procedure and hopefully, it will lead to some sort of uniform treatment for MS patients.

Oral cancer (Mouth cancer)

Title
Treatment Surgery is a common treatment for mouth and oropharyngeal tumours. How much surgery you have depends on the size and depth of the cancer when it is found. It also depends on whether there is a risk that the cancer has spread into lymph nodes around your mouth or in your neck. You are most likely to have an operation under general anaesthetic. Surgery works very well for early stage mouth cancer. For some very early stage cancers of the mouth and oropharynx, you may be able to have laser surgery under local or general anaesthetic, although this is not common. In laser surgery, the surgeon uses a narrow, intense beam of light to cut out the cancer. The laser beam works like a surgical knife (scalpel). But if you have an early cancer, your specialist team may recommend that you have radiotherapy instead of surgery. Radiotherapy alone is used to treat some types of mouth and oropharyngeal cancers that have not spread. If you have surgery your doctor may recommend that you have radiotherapy afterwards. The treatment aims to kill off any cancer cells that might have been left behind. This lowers the risk of the cancer coming back. Radiotherapy may be combined with chemotherapy for people whose cancer has spread into surrounding areas (locally advanced cancer). There is detailed information about radiotherapy and side effects to the mouth and oropharyx area in this section of CancerHelp UK. You may have chemotherapy in the following situations Chemotherapy for Oral / Mouth Cancer Withradiotherapyas part of your main treatment (chemoradiation) On its own to treat a mouth and oropharyngeal cancer that is locally advanced or has spread to other parts of the body If your cancer has come back after surgery and radiotherapy Reports so far show that chemoradiation can keep mouth and oropharyngeal cancers under control for long periods in some people.

Pagets disease of the breast (Pagets disease of the nipple)

Title
Treatment Simple mastectomyinvolves removing your entire breast, but not the lymph nodes in your armpit (axillary lymph nodes). Simple mastectomy might be recommended in cases in which an underlying breast cancer exists but hasnt spread to the lymph nodes. Breast-conserving surgery (lumpectomy)involves removing only the diseased portion of your breast. Your surgeon removes your nipple and areola along with a wedge- or cone-shaped section of your breast. The surgeon focuses on removing as little breast tissue as possible, while ensuring that the tissue removed includes an outer margin free of cancer cells so that only healthy cells remain. Lumpectomy to treat Pagets disease of the breast requires follow-up radiation therapy. Lumpectomy wouldnt be recommended if you cant have radiation therapy for some reason. Most women have nipple reconstruction after their treatment. After your operation, your doctor may recommend additional treatment (adjuvant therapy) with anti-cancer drugs (chemotherapy), radiation therapy or hormone therapy to prevent a recurrence of breast cancer. Your specific treatment will depend on the extent of the cancer and whether your tumor tests positive for certain characteristics, such as having estrogen or progesterone receptors.

Try this gargle to calm a cranky throat. Mix together 1 cup hot water, 1/2 teaspoon turmeric and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Gargle with the mixture twice a day. If youre not good with the gargle, mix 1/2 teaspoon turmeric in 1 cup hot milk and drink. Turmeric stains clothing, so be careful when mixing and gargling. Garglee with warm saltwater. If you can gargle without gagging, make a saline solution by adding 1/2 teaspoon salt to a cup of very warm water. Yes, when your mother told you to gargle with saltwater, she knew what she was talking about. It cuts phlegm and reduces inflammation. Dissolve 1/2 teaspoon salt in 1/2 cup warm water, and gargle every three to four hours. Garglewith Listerine. Another good gargling fluid is Listerine mouthwash. If you share the product with anyone else in your household, dont drink straight from the bottle; instead, pour a small amount into a cup (and dont share that, either).

Sore throat (Pharyngitis)

Title
Treatment This sore throat cure is found in several different remedies. Some doctors still swear that it is surprisingly palatable and works wonders. (Do not give it -- or any other honey-containing food or beverage -- to children under two years of age. Honey can carry a bacterium that can cause a kind of food poisoning called infant botulism and may also cause allergic reactions in very young children.) Drink Cider Vinegar 1 tablespoon honey, any kind 1 tablespoon vinegar, preferably apple-cider vinegar 8 ounces hot water Mix all the ingredients together in a mug and sip slowly (but dont let it get cold). Use as often as desired. For gargling: Youll need 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 cup cider vinegar, and 1 cup warm water. Dissolve the salt in the vinegar, then mix in the water. Gargle every 15 minutes as necessary. I recommend drinking hot fluids, such as coffee, tea or hot lemonade. Coating the tissue in your throat with warm liquid provides a benefit similar to applying hot packs to infected skin. Drink Hot Liquids To make a soothing tea, use a spoonful of marjoram steeped in a cup of boiling water for 10 minutes. Strain, then sweeten it with honey

Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) / Erythema multiforme major

Title
Treatment i was 14 when i had my first attack. it was not that strong when compared to the second one and doctors didnt make a decision on diagnosis. 7 years later i had second time and it was horrible. it started from my eyes again. They were burning like hell and i had some liquid in the eyes therefore i did not see well. besides my eyelids were already too swollen to open my eyes properly. the scars in my mouth were bigger and more painful than ever and this time i had more scars on my hand and arm. I used corticosteroids for a while and some eye drops for my eyes. i felt great in a short time! They made some blood test and told me that my immune system is weak for HSV (herpes simplex virus). anytime it can show up again thats why i have to take a pill everyday or twice when i feel ulcers in my mouth. According to the doctors i will live with SJS for the rest of my life. SJS constitutes a dermatological emergency. All medications should be discontinued, particularly those known to cause SJS reactions. Patients with documented mycoplasma infections can be treated with oral macrolide or oral doxycycline. Initially, treatment is similar to that for patients with thermal burns, and continued care can only be supportive (e.g. intravenous fluids and nasogastric or parenteral feeding) and symptomatic (e.g., analgesic mouth rinse for mouth ulcer). Dermatologists and surgeons tend to disagree about whether the skin should be debrided. Beyond this kind of supportive care, there is no accepted treatment for SJS. Treatment with corticosteroids is controversial. Early retrospective studies suggested that corticosteroids increased hospital stays and complication rates. There are no randomized trials of corticosteroids for SJS, and it can be managed successfully without them. Other agents have been used, including cyclophosphamide and cyclosporine, but none has exhibited much therapeutic success. Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) treatment has shown some promise in reducing the length of the reaction and improving symptoms. Other common supportive measures include the use of topical pain anesthetics and antiseptics, maintaining a warm environment, and intravenous analgesics. An ophthalmologist should be consulted immediately, as SJS frequently causes the formation of scar tissue inside the eyelids, leading to corneal vascularization, impaired vision and a host of other ocular problems.
