The Western world has taken a keen interest in the last two decades in alternative medicine from traditional Chinese practitioners. Health food stores and specialist shops do a brisk trade in various Chinese herbal remedies. These are usually in the form of capsules, tablets, liquids, creams or tea. It is important to check that the supplier is a qualified person before purchasing or seeking a consultation, as proper knowledge of herbs and their effects is essential.

I can still remember when the massive AIDS epidemic hit the scene. Suddenly everyone was blaming the gay community for a deadly virus known as HIV. This virus can be transmitted via sexual contact from one individual to another. The virus that causes AIDS. For those who’re unsure about the acronym, it stands for acquired immune deficiency syndrome. This horrific health affliction destroys the human immune system, and without an immune system, you’re unable to fight off any bacteria or viruses. Imagine what the flu could do to someone without an immune system. The results are tragic. Anyway, in recent [...]

LASIK eye surgery is very popular, but there are still some that won’t get it. Some are afraid of a laser going into their eyes, which is understandable, and others simply can’t afford the price at this time. Others are simply waiting until it has been around longer to be sure it is as perfected as it can be. Until the time comes for surgery, those waiting will continue to wear contacts and glasses, and possibly save money for that surgery. In the meantime, they want to find cheap contacts so they have some money to set aside for later.
Where [...]

Sugar Features High among Acne Causes
The research into acne has heated up in recent years. In their thoroughness, scientists are going back to revisit theories that have existed as basic received wisdom for years now and have informed our understanding into what causes acne. The acne causes that scientists have understood so far have decidedly not included sugar as a possibility – fat, perhaps, but not sugar.
Actually, that basic understanding is not altogether flawed. They still don’t think that sugar itself causes acne. It is just that sugar happens to belong to a group of foods that raise your blood [...]

There is no way to cure heart disease
If there were a way to cure heart disease, whichever drug company developed it would instantly become one of the biggest companies in the world. Heart disease is so deadly, so prevalent, and growing so rapidly, that the ability to cure heart disease is the holy grail of medicine.
Of course, that doesn’t prevent people from claiming to have cured it. Some web sites say that green tea, organic food and a steady diet of supplements can cure heart disease. Others – many, many thousands of others under the guise of “holisitic” medicine – [...]

Colitis Disease and Treatment
The first thing to understand about colitis disease is that it’s a disease of your gastrointestinal system. In other words, it’s a disease that’s at least partially caused by – or at least effected by – what you eat. If you’re eating crappy food, you’re more likely to suffer from colitis disease. That’s a simple fact, and it’s one that you best understand right from the beginning.
Technically, colitis disease is an inflammation of the colon. The colon is the very final part of the digestive system in humans. It’s what absorbs water and salt before solid waste [...]
