I know that this is something that you don’t want to hear, but it’s the truth. The number one way to begin losing weight immediately — barring other health problems that may be causing you to gain weight, such as hypothyroidism — is to eliminate all sugar in all its forms from your diet. That includes fruit juices which are high in fructose.

The health industry today would have you believe that fat is the culprit in causing you to gain weight. I suppose it could be if eaten at high levels. Good fats are very healthy and they are not why you are having weight problems. It’s sugar. Our bodies are not designed to handle the high quantities of sugar that the average American consumes.

Years ago I was found to be hypoglycemic. I was just boarder line hypoglycemic but non-the-less decided to stop eating sugar at the advice of my chiropractor. I lost 15 pounds in one month. The only change I had made in my diet was to exclude sugar in all its forms. I also felt better than I had felt in years — more energy, more clarity of thought — just great health.

The forms of sugar are: glucose, fructose, lactose, sucrose, maltose and other oses. Be sure to read the ingredients and see if there are any oses. If there is, it is probably a form of sugar. Another form of sugar is starch which is found in white breads and pastries. I guess starch isn’t exactly sugar but the body treats it in the same way. So it’s also good to avoid.

If you have read my web page about boils, you would have noticed I recommend castor oil. I have used castor oil myself for this particular annoying problem. And I have to admit it worked wonderfully and quickly. I also used castor oil packs at one time to improve my liver health. This was a remedy given to me by my naturopath.

But just recently I decided to look into what else it is good for and I stumbled upon an interesting web page: http://www.industryinet.com/~ruby/castoroil.html

It turns out that castor oil can help with a lot of different health problems, such as:

AIDS
ringworm
fungal and bacterial infections
stretch marks
bursitis
warts
sprains
arthritis
gallbladder disease
constipation
swollen lymph nodes
bladder infections

This is just a short list.

The reason I like to research remedies such as castor oil is because of its many uses. It is easy to store and it’s cheap. Castor oil has been used for a very long time by our grandparents and great grandparents, etc. Maybe it is possible these old home remedies have been used through the years because of their many benefits.

This is definitely a product you should have in your medicine chest. Along with it you might also add hydrogen peroxide, iodine, Epsom salts, tea tree oil and colloidal silver.

Colloidal Silver

It can be used topically for nail fungal infections, cuts or rashes, and as an eye drop for pink eye. It is good for problems of the mouth such as cancer sores. Oral colloidal silver can be used for infections or inflammation. It may also help fight candida albicans overgrowth.

Grapefruit Seed Extract (GSE)

great for candida overgrowth or parasites (personal experience). An international research team in 1989-90 (reported in Orthomolecular Medicine, Volume 5, No. 3, USA, 1990) compared GSE with 30 effective antibiotics and 18 proven fungicides. It performed the same and without the awful side effects. Some of the things you can use it for are: digestive disorders, food poisoning, infections (viral, fungal and bacterial), inflamed gums, colds and flu, ear infections, strep throat, acne, nail fungus, skin infections and on and on — almost everything.

Oregano Oil

Is good for many of the same things as GSE. I have used it for candida and intestinal parasites with great results. It is very popular with ear infections as well. It is known to inhibit the growth of germs such as Staphylococcus aureas. It helps with sinus infections and skin problems such as eczema.

Do some research about these three natural antibiotics and antiseptics. It is very interesting and you can use these to help your family stay healthy. So find out more about them and how to use them correctly.
