 These include barbiturates, benzodiazepines, benzodiazepine subtype-specificdrugs,andover-the-counterantihistamines,sedatingantidepressants, antipsychotics, melatonin, and herbal remedies.
Though many of these medications do in fact help people sleep more, people who take sleeping pills say that they feel more satisfied about the extra sleep they get but that the positive effect on their ability to think and function the next day is offset by the long-lasting side effects of the drugs, such as impairments in memory and cognition, so they end up with no lasting benefit. |

 I read about everything: nutrition, raw food, juicing, kombucha tea, herbal medicine, yoga, Hulda Clark and Max Gerson and other alternative healers, ozone therapy, chelation, hypnotism, psychotherapy, the I Ching, and countless other therapies and schools of thought. For the most part, each group presented persuasive arguments to support their point of view. The raw foods people said that because we evolved from apes we should be eating only raw vegetables and fruits. The blood-type people said that your diet should be designed to work with and support the characteristics of your blood group. |

Finally, other lesser-known plants whose efficacy is not well enough known to recommend them are also available. For example, the plant hawthorn has been used to treat heart failure. Although some studies show efficacy, no formal research has been done outside of Germany. Fenugreek is a dried seed that contains fiber and steroid saponins that decrease glucose levels and cholesterol as demonstrated by clinical trials. Gugulipid (Gug-gul gum) is a natural product from India that is derived from resin of the mukul myrrh tree. |
| For example, constipation is often treated with herbal therapies that stimulate secretion of fluids into the bowel and muscular contraction of the intestines, the most common of which include senna, cascara, aloe vera, and rhubarb root. One small study of thirty-five patients showed that aloe vera combined with celandin and psyllium was better than placebo in treating constipation.6 Although it is unclear whether these herbs and supplements are helpful, there is no evidence of potential harm.
As noted earlier, fatty foods can increase the symptoms of dyspepsia. |

 It involves placing fifteen drops of a herbal mixture under the tongue three times per day for several months.
Doug Henderson published a book about such heart drops which he entitled Diet and Exercise is a Crock.8 At the time that title was selected, Mr. Henderson and his advisors were unaware of what true healing nutrition is. And while I don't agree with what the title generally implies, the book made interesting reading. |
| The same stimulative situation applies to some herbal supplements and treatments. The body cannot use, and does not accept, isolated nutrients. It requires specific combinations working together synergistically before they can be recognized as food.
Bottom line—synthetic vitamins are harmful. Tests with rats fed synthetic vitamins found that they died sooner than rats given nothing to eat.3 The synthetic, incomplete supplements stimulated the animals' systems, increasing their metabolic rates and literally causing them to "burn up" or wear out at a faster rate. |

 Goat's rue contains guanidine, the herbal prototype for the pharmaceutical drug Metformin, which improves insulin sensitivity and is used to treat both Type-1 and Type-2 diabetes. Metformin has been claimed to be one of the best anti-aging drugs currently available. Goat's rue causes a long-lasting reduction of blood sugar in rats and an increase in carbohydrate tolerance. In one study, goat's rue extract lowered the blood sugar of diabetic rats by 32 percent.190 Goat's rue extracts have increased glycogen levels in the liver and myocardium of both healthy and diabetic rabbits. |
| In another study of Type-2 diabetics, twenty-two were given this herbal extract along with their own oral hypoglycemic drugs. All of these people had an improved blood sugar control. Twenty-one of the subjects were able to reduce their drug dosage significantly. Five were able to discontinue their medication and maintained blood sugar control with this herb alone.174
Dosage: The average dose per day in many of these studies was 400 mg.

| Bed rest, drinking fluids like water and herbal tea, and consuming chicken soup is still the best cure for common colds and flu. Washing your hands after contact with the world (going to work, riding the train, etc.) can do more to stop colds than almost anything else I know.

 Its inclusion conforms to the principle of balance in herbal blending which states that in blends dealing with combat of infections, fevers and colds, some part of the treatment should be laxative to help the body rid itself of bacteria-laden wastes. See Also laxative parasites
GARLIC, appropriately the current best-seller on the anti-fever hit parade, has been celebrated for thousands of years.

I personally can appreciate this kind of oversimplification because there was a time when my wife and I used to laugh at my own oversimplification: standing on one foot and a closed heart. I wrote my book HeartHealth about the situation with our hearts
(that medicine pays no attention to). On my Biogenic Medicine site I have a section with pictures about the structural damage of defying gravity with the common posture of shifting our body weight to one side. |

| He wanted to test blood and saliva samples from other CFS patients against the herbal medicinals he was making to see if the energetic response would be different from that of his own samples. He also wondered if the samples from CFS patients in general showed any energetic peculiarities when they were matched against each other, blood sample against blood sample or saliva sample against saliva sample. "No one had ever thought to ask that question as far as I knew," he said, "and I thought it a most interesting question! |

| Thus much of the medical information gathered by westerners abroad addressed herbal medicines, and drew on the novel (to Europeans) pharmacopoeia of the tropics.

| You just have to give parasites the final eviction notice with an herbal formula, and any that remain will most likely exit painlessly. This is a very important part of the cleansing and healing process.
We discussed earlier the use of enemas daily during the first three weeks of the Juice Feast, to support the elimination of waste and toxins from the body. We also discussed the introduction of weight training later in the Juice Feast, when the body is ready for muscle-building activity.
Let us briefly review a typical day of Juice Feasting. |

| This means you must eat better, use dietary supplements, get more exercise, and learn to relax. This herbal blend is designed to be a part of such a program. It promotes both short-term and long-term anti-fatigue properties and enhancement of physical strength and stamina. The Cayenne and Peppermint provide a quick stimulant effect, and when the blend is used daily, the Ginseng, Gotu Kola, Kelp and Ginger root gradually increase stamina.
CAYENNE'S stimulant effects have been shown through animal studies to be rapid but transient. |

 Another recognised herbal mixture readily available contains proportions of horehound, euphorbia, senega, grindelia, liquorice and elecampane.
Horseradish and garlic tablets, available in odourless form, are recommended to help eliminate excessive mucus. Some years ago a common remedy for keeping breathing passages clear was to wear a camphor block enclosed in a calico bag attached to underclothes.
Nowadays, not too many people would consider wearing camphor but it does help free blocked airways while sleeping. |

LOBELIA
This small, blue-flowered plant, native to North America, is sometimes known as Indian tobacco and was used in the late eighteenth century by European settlers for the treatment of asthma and respiratory complaints.
Lobelia, which is also called the 'asthma weed', owes its effectiveness to the alkaloid coveline, a respiratory stimulant. |
| Ginseng is available in many forms including capsules, powders, herbal teas and even chewing gum!
LIQUORICE
Hippocrates extolled the virtues of liquorice as an aid for asthma, throat and chest problems. The herb was known elsewhere in the world: the American Indians used liquorice as tea, as a cough remedy and as a soothing elixir for the throat. It is used today for all kinds of chest complaints, including asthma, and it is also has anti-inflammatory properties, which makes it especially beneficial for asthmatics. |
