Twenty years ago my mother had a series of mini-strokes. I took care of her at home because many years earlier she had asked me not to put her in a nursing home if it was at all possible. Her doctor explained her situation and it went something like this. “Your mother’s strokes have caused permanent brain damage. Her brain cells are slowly dying and the cells adjacent to the damaged cells will eventually die also. I’m sorry, but there’s nothing we can do for her”.
The mainstream medical community had given up on the person most dear to me. So I decided to conduct some extensive research into alternative measures like vitamins, herbs, and minerals. I was determined not to let my mother die without a fight. This is the person who took care of me when I was sick; she deserved the same from me.
I read multitudes of books, newsletters, and reports. I watched educational videos, attended homeopathic trade-shows, and interviewed anyone who would be willing to talk to me, all the time taking extensive notes and documenting my efforts. I fought endless fight, but I lost my mother. I started too late in her illness.
After a period of mourning and occasional bouts of depression, I decided to take all that valuable information I had accumulated, continue my research, and use it to help others

Super-bugs are gaining a foothold in our society and we need to address the issue right now. The major offenders are e-Coli, SARS, Salmonella, and Staph Infections. These so-called super bugs have spawned at least 40 new antibiotic resistant diseases in the last 25 years and we can expect many more in the near future.
So how did these super bugs get started ? Back in the 1940’s during World War II, penicillin and other antibiotics saved thousands of lives due to their ability to fight infections and wartime injuries. After the war, doctors began prescribing antibiotics for almost every illness, even the common cold. This created a strange reaction. The more antibiotics a person took, the quicker an infection found a new and more devastating way to attack ones body. And this new way is antibiotic resistant.
If you don’t take antibiotics on a regular basis, don’t think you are not involved in the big picture. If you eat grain fed beef, pork, or chicken you are consuming antibiotics from the meat you eat. Cows, pigs, and chickens are now being raised in large numbers to meet global demands. During this process, some of the animals get sick so they are all fed antibiotic laden feed to keep them from getting sick. When you eat the meat, small quantities of those antibiotics get into your system and over the years they begin to build up making you prone to a potential attack from an antibiotic resistant super-bug.
Enough of all that depressing news, here’s some good news. Numerous supplements are classified as natural antibiotics and you can fortify your immune system by taking them on a regular basis.
I invite you to browse through the following chapters. You will learn much more about herbs, vitamins, minerals, and how they can keep you healthy without troublesome side effects.
Book excerpt
Migraine Headache – The Solution
The brain is the most important organ in the body. On a daily basis, approximately 13 million people experience the intense and often paralyzing pain of a migraine headache. Every 15 seconds someone somewhere is admitted to an emergency room with a problem related to a migraine headache.
For some strange reason, scientists and mainstream medical personnel never thought migraine headaches had the potential to cause long term brain injury. It’s hard for one to comprehend that some of our most respected scientists and deep thinkers would not associate extensive and debilitating as pain of the brain with long term damage. We’re talking about the most important organ in the body. Brain damage can cause all types of problems and no one considered extensive brain pain a cause for alarm ? What have we been taught since childhood ? “Pain is our body alerting us to a problem”. So it stands to reason that intense debilitating pain is our body alerting us to a serious problem. And nobody picked up on that ?
So finally some of these deep thinkers started to consider the possibilities of migraine headaches causing long-term brain injury. They researched the subject and this is what they found.
Migraine headaches are causing considerable long lasting brain damage that closely resembles the damage caused by seizures, strokes, and dementia. And if one has a history of migraine headaches, that person has a potential risk for contracting some of the most devastating brain disorders known to the medical community.
Mainstream medicine’s approach to migraines includes drugs which were originally used for treating epileptic patients. These drugs delivered a minimal degree of results in the short term, but they had numerous side effects and failed to address the cause.
Researchers, realizing the anti-epileptic drugs were not the answer, decided to channel their efforts into the arena of holistic medicine. Their efforts were rewarded when they discovered not one but two items that prevent changes in the brain that lead to the formation of a migraine headache.
When chemical balance to the brain is restored and the flow of blood is improved, magnesium and gastrodin focus on the intricacies of migraine pain, providing dynamic pain relief free from side effects.
Lets Take A Look At Our New Friends
Gastrodin is not new to Traditional Chinese Medicine. It has been a staple of the Chinese Culture for thousands of years. It is extracted from the orchid plant and the Chinese have used it to combat disorders like headaches, stroke, dementia, and seizures. It has proven effective in the reduction of the number and duration of migraine attacks. Gastrodin has the unique ability to improve blood flow to the brain which is restricted during a migraine attack.
Magnesium, in supplemental form, has shown great promise in reducing the duration of migraine headaches and often-times preventing them altogether. Studies have shown that 360mg of magnesium significantly reduced the number of days women had headaches during their menstrual cycles. Other studies revealed that taking magnesium supplements on a daily basis reduced the irritation of facial and neck muscles that often accompany migraine attacks.
The combination of gastrodin and magnesium is highly recommended for the prevention of migraine headaches because the two work together to stimulate blood flow and help balance the brain’s neurotransmitters. Thanks Mother Nature.
