According to Donna Gates, who is a founder of the Body Ecology, the digestive tract is responsible for overall health. Therefore, maintaining a healthy colon is a primary step to optimal health and well-being.
In fact, every tissue and cell within the human body as well as the liver, which is the main detoxification organ, rely upon a healthy colon. Specifically, keeping a proper colon function eliminates all toxins from the body.
These 2 Homemade Colon Cleanse Recipes Help Eliminate All Deposited Toxins from the Colon

The waste products, which are left over from the digested food get into the colon. Also, some essential nutrients and hormones get into the colon. Moreover, if this body organ works optimally, it can safely excrete these waste materials from the body. Plus, it can send leftover nutrients, such as vitamins, water, and electrolytes from digested food back for the body to use.
In other words, if the colon functions improperly, it will not be able to excrete the toxins from the body. So, these toxins and waste products will get accumulated in the colon.
Furthermore, medical experts note that the body takes at least 24 hours to completely pass the food through where it is supposed to. On the other hand, processed foods do not contain any nutrients, such as enzymes or fibers. Hence, the body takes about 70 hours to process these foods, thus resulting in at least 20 lbs waste products in the colon.
It can trigger constipation followed by painful bowel movements and irregular waste removing.
The Most Common Symptoms of Colon Toxicity Include:
Bloating, gas, indigestion, constipation, diarrhea, and stomach aches;
Weak immune system, skin rashes, vaginal infections, and bladder problems;
Fatigue, anxiety, mood swings, poor memory, brain fog, and depression;
Sore muscles and joint pain.

Statistics show that more than 26.7 million Americans 50 or older now have trouble hearing. For many people, auditory loss happens so gradually that they barely realize it. Others find that their ears seem to be working fine one day, and not so well the next. This impairment – caused by a myriad of factors and existing conditions – greatly affects a patient’s medical, emotional, and social well being.

– Tumors
– Having something stuck in your ear

Symptoms
Hearing loss symptoms can gradually occur, or they might come quickly and fiercely. When hearing loss occurs, people tend to find ways to cope with it – but it’s important that you seek medical help if you recognize any of the medical, emotional, or social signs of hearing loss according to WebMD and the Better Hearing Institute.
  1. Pain/pressure in one or both ears
    2. Dizziness or vertigo

Many people don’t know that one simple but strong ingredient is able to prevent heart attack in just one minute.
John Christopher, a popular herbalist, discovered the most efficient formula to stop heart attack in a minute. There are over 50 such formulas but this one turned out to be the most efficient. Although he is not a doctor, his contributions for the alternative medicine are very important.
Here’s How To Stop A Heart Attack In 60 Seconds
Credit:workouthit.com

The secret ingredient he discovered is the cayenne pepper! He knew that it can prevent heart attacks in a minute, and also he says that this approach works amazing. Cayenne is the most well-known type of chilli pepper. Always have some cayenne pepper at home – it can save a life by preventing a heart attack.
How to Use the Cayenne Pepper
Cayenne contains at least 90,000 heat units. Habanero, Thai Chi, African Bird, Jamaican Hot Pepper, Scotch Bonet and Jalapeño are types of peppers with the same heat value. You can purchase cayenne pepper from a supermarket, healthy food store and oriental stores.
If you have cayenne pepper in the kitchen, give it to a person that is having a heart attack with a glass of water. But the patient needs to be conscious.
If the patient is unconscious, then you may need to use cayenne extract. Add a couple of drops under the patient’s tongue for best results.
Cayenne is a strong stimulant; it speeds up the heart rate and carries the blood throughout the body, balancing the circulation. Cayenne has a hemostatic impact, instantly stops the bleeding and helps the recovery in patients that suffered a heart attack.
Health experts claim that they’ve never lost a patient due to this therapy.
Dr Schulz’s Recipe for Cayenne pepper Tincture
This tincture is a good solution for an emergency case of a heart attack. Use just cayenne pepper, which is the most widespread type of chili pepper; it grows in South America and India.
Chili is a tropical perennial plant. Ground chili is 20 times stronger than the regular pepper, due to its high concentration of capsaicin. The heat of chili is inversely proportional to its size, so the smallest one are often the hottest. Always opt for this type.
Ingredients
• Powdered cayenne pepper
• 2 fresh cayenne peppers
• 50 per cent alcohol (you may use vodka)
• Gloves
• A bottle
Instructions
1. Put on the gloves for your safety.
2. Fill 1/4 of the bottle with powdered cayenne pepper. Pour enough alcohol so that it covers the cayenne powder.
3. Mix the peppers in a blender with enough alcohol so that you get a denser consistency. Pour this mixture in the bottle so that ¾ of it is filled.
4. Fill the bottle to its top with 50% alcohol and close it. Shake is couple of times during the day.
5. Let the tincture stay in a dry and dark place for 15 days and then strain it. Keep the final tincture in a darker bottle.
If you want a stronger tincture, let it stay for three months before straining it.
6. Keep it in a dark and dry place. It will never get spoiled.
Dr. Schulz’s Dosage Recommendation
Give about 7 drops of this tincture to a conscious patient who had a stroke or a heart attack. Give the patient another
7 drops after five minutes. Repeat this process until the condition of the patient improves.
If the patient is not conscious, place 2 drops of this tincture under the tongue, and start doing CPR. Repeat this process every five minutes until the condition of the patient improves.
Health Benefits
• Cayenne can also be used for the treatment of other health issues.
• It has strong antifungal properties; cayenne pepper prevents Colletotrichum and Pomopsis.
• It is popular for its beneficial impact on the digestive tract, since it activates the production of gastric juices, and also relieves gas.
• Cayenne has anticancer properties, and it’s particularly recommended for smokers and patients with lung cancer. It is thought that capsaicin can prevent the development of tumor caused by cigarettes and similar results were discovered in people with liver cancer.
• Also, it’s helpful for the treatment of stomach issues, migraines, flu symptoms, allergies, obesity, redness, arthritis and toothache.
Nutritional Value
Researchers confirmed that there are 26 nutrients contained in cayenne pepper. Zinc, calcium, magnesium and selenium are among most essential minerals contained in cayenne peppers. Apart from minerals, cayenne pepper is rich in vitamin A and C.
Cayenne pepper is among the most powerful natural spices and is miraculous for your heart. If you are having heart issues, always keep some of this tincture at hand.

Eggs were demonized in the past due to their high cholesterol levels. Many doctors suggested that eating eggs is bad due to the cholesterol and may harm your health, but this was a common misconception which has been blown out of proportion. Eggs are one of the few ideal foods for our health – they contain protein, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants and can be used in different ways.
Here’s What Happens to Your Body When You Eat Two Eggs a Day. I Would Have Never Believed No. 3… Awesome!
Credit:dailywomenswellness.com

Nowadays, doctors suggest eating 2-3 eggs every day in order to boost your health. If you want to learn more about the benefits of eating a couple eggs a day, continue reading the article below.
  1. Reduce the risk of cancer
According to one study published in the “Breast Cancer Research” journal, eating eggs every day can reduce the risk of breast cancer by 18%. Furthermore, eggs contain a lot of amino acids, vitamins and minerals that will stabilize your estrogen levels which can sometimes be the main cause for breast cancer.
  1. Reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases
Eggs contain up to 40 gr. of HDL (good) cholesterol which can prevent numerous cardiovascular diseases. Experts in the past thought that eggs raise the cholesterol levels in our blood, but this isn’t true – our body regulates its own cholesterol levels, and most of the cholesterol is produced by the body itself.
This was proven by a research conducted at the Biomedical Research Center of Louisiana. The study involved 152 overweight people who were divided into 3 groups. The first group ate nothing for breakfast, the second had 2 eggs while the third ate a piece of bread. The results were shocking – the egg group lost 75% more weight and 35% more belly fat and there were no changes in their cholesterol levels as well.
The high content of omega-3 fatty acids in eggs can also reduce the levels of triglycerides, preventing numerous cardiovascular problems in the process.
  1. Improve your eyesight
Eggs are perfect for our eyesight due to the high amount of vitamin A, lutein and zeaxanthin. Vitamin A is essential for our vision and for seeing in the dark as well. On the other hand, lutein and zeaxanthin are two powerful antioxidants that can prevent free radical damage and boost your eyesight, while preventing numerous vision problems.
  1. Protect the brain
Eggs contain choline, an important nutrient which is vital for our brain. Choline is a neurotransmitter that sends stimuli to the brain and nervous system and lack of it can have negative effects on the memory and brain function in general.
  1. Slow down the aging process
According to one study from Germany, eating eggs regularly can stop the aging process and prevent skin cancer as well. Eggs contain organic pigments such as carotenoids which can slow down aging. However, in order to fully benefit from them, you need to eat the eggs boiled since they contain more carotenoids this way due to the chemical changes generated when the eggs are cooked.
  1. Reduce the risk of birth defects
Eggs contain 0.7 mcg. of vitamin B9 (folic acid) which is recommended to pregnant women as it reduces the risk of birth defects and preventing damage to the embryo’s nervous system. Eggs are one of the richest sources of vitamin B9 which is why you need to consume a few of them every day.
  1. Support the liver, skin and hair
The egg yolk contains protein and sulfur which can revitalize your dull and weak hair and improve the quality of your skin. They also contain lecithin, a substance that assists the liver in the detoxification process and improves digestion.
  1. Help you lose weight
If you want to lose weight, you should stay away from foods with low glycemic index and eat more eggs. Eggs can satisfy your cravings fast and help you eat less, resulting in more weight lost.
  1. Keep the bones healthy
Eggs are rich in vitamin D and calcium, two important nutrients for the bones and teeth. According to studies, calcium and protein work together to maintain the calcium levels and keep the metabolic processes in the bones steady. Eggs also contain vitamin D, an important vitamin we mostly get through the sun and is vital for numerous processes in the body.
As you can see, eggs are incredible healthy and won’t harm your health like it was previously thought. They are rich in numerous essential nutrients which will regulate different body processes and improve your overall health as well. This is why experts recommend eating 2-3 eggs a day, except in the cases of diabetes or heart problems, when you should eat only 3 eggs a week.

You’ve probably heard a lot about how carrots are good for your eyes, but you’ve probably never heard that they also make a cough remedy.  Yes, carrots are a great ingredient that removes phlegm when combined with other ingredients (as shown below).
Simple Homemade Syrup Cures Cough And Removes Phlegm From The Lungs
Credit:fitnezfreak.com
Carrot soup has long been a folk remedy for the cold and flu, but if you’re in a rush, you can also enjoy the vegetable as a cough syrup.

 Most cough syrups contain artificial color, artificial flavor, and preservatives. This toxin-free remedy works just as well and tastes better than any cherry-flavored syrup.

 Why Carrots?

 Carrots are nutrient-dense, containing vitamins A, C, and K as well as high levels of potassium (1).

 Experts have long known that vitamin A plays a role in infection and maintaining mucosal surfaces (like your lungs) by influencing certain subcategories of T cells and B cells and cytokines (2) .

 Vitamin C had a reputation for boosting the immune system.

 Mix in a little honey for antiviral and antibacterial properties (3). Honey will also coat the throat, making your sore throat less sore and more easy to manage (4).

 Adding a bit of ginger will also help reduce inflammation and ease the pain.

 Carrot Cough Syrup

 It’s actually quite sweet and easy to stomach!

 Ingredients:

 1/2 kg of carrot
3-4 tablespoons of honey
2 teaspoon of freshly chopped ginger
Instructions:

 Cut the carrots into small pieces and place into a small saucepan and add water until they are completely covered.
Cook over medium heat.
Once it’s boiling, add the ginger and boil until the carrots are soft.
Strain through a fine mesh strainer over a large bowl, do not throw away the water.
Blend the carrots and ginger until smooth.
When the water is lukewarm, add honey and stir until it’s dissolved.
Add water to the mashed carrots and blend again until smooth.
Store in the refrigerator for up to a week.
How To Use
Take 3-4 spoons of the syrup every day until you no longer experience coughing. The syrup should help move out phlegm from your lungs after a day or two of regular use.

It is commonly known that our body system is in constant action. A lot of changes occur all the time and if something odd happens, we can feel it. But, despite our awareness that something could be wrong we often don’t take those signals for granted. However, it is better to prevent the problem rather than wait to see what happens.
When Your Body Alerts You: These Are The Signs That Indicate Health Problems
Credit:fitnezfreak.com
Here is a list of some of the signs that our body gives out and shouldn’t be ignored.
Dry skin
Dry skin shows a deficiency of vitamin E. If so, incorporate nuts, seed oil and oil-rich fish in your daily nutrition.
Thin hair and nails
Your body shows a lack of calcium and vitamin B. Daily consumption of milk, potatoes, tomatoes, germinated grain bread and grains.
Craving for salty foods
This is a strong indicator that there is some kind of infection in the genitourinary system.
Cravings for sugary foods
It’s probably caused by an emotional stress and your body is in need of glucose. Take a teaspoon of honey or a dark chocolate bar to prevent problems in your digestive tract.
Gingivitis
If you have been swollen, sore or bleeding gums, your body needs more vitamins C. It is recommended to drink more tea, to consume fruit, vegetables and to add garlic to your diet.
Insomnia, irritation, and leg stiffness
You need to compensate the lack of magnesium and potassium in your body by eating up green vegetables such as spinach, artichokes, broccoli, asparagus. Also, the nuts such as almonds, peanuts, and walnuts are rich in magnesium. The plums, red beet, and apricots are also a rich source of both magnesium and potassium.
Dry, flaky skin on the elbows
This is an obvious sign that your body needs more vitamin A and C. All fruit and vegetables such as orange, yellow carrots, berries and broccoli contain these vitamins.
Cravings for unprocessed foods
This may be a sign of liver or stomach problems. Undercooked, unprocessed foods can ease the ache.
Cravings for bitter foods
Your body inquires these products since they are crucial for the liver and gallbladder function. Add cranberries and lemon to your daily nutrition.
Cravings for seafood
It is very probable that your body needs iodine.

Heart disease is the number one killer of US men and women. It is so deadly because most signs are vague and often we don’t assign them to having a heart attack. Not always are they so intense or obvious like someone grabbing his chest and having troubles with breathing.
10 Signs of a Heart Attack Never to Ignore
Credit:fitnezfreak.com
When I was in my early twenties my dad had a heart attack. He survived because of the quick action of my mom calling 911 and rushing him to the hospital. Our family has a long history of heart diseases and that’s why my mom didn’t hesitate to call for help.
Warning signs of a heart attack can be misdiagnosed as heartburn, muscle soreness, flu, and other non-cardiac causes. The higher your risk the more likely those signs mean something is going wrong with your heart. And you should take those signs very seriously. The quicker you end up in the hospital the more chance you have to pull through.
Risk factors include:
  • Age
  • High cholesterol
  • High blood pressure
  • Diabetes
  • Smoking
  • Unhealthy lifestyle
  • Obesity
  • Family history

10 Signs of a Heart Attack You Shouldn’t Ignore

1.      Anxiety

Just before having a heart attack many people experience feelings of anxiety and extreme nervousness.

2.      Chest Pain

This is the most classical symptom of a heart attack. The chest pain is centered, slightly to the left, under your breastbone. Many describe this type of chest pain as “an elephant sitting on the chest”. So whenever you feel an uncomfortable pressure, burning or crushing sensation, squeezing or fullness on your chest and have other signs, don’t hesitate to call for help.
 Note that not all chest pain is related to a heart disease. When the pain is sharp and stabbing it is generally not related to a heart attack. If you’re not sure, better call for help than to wait. Seconds can save lives here.

3.      Shortness of Breath

Another common sign of having a heart attack is shortness of breath. It’s like you just ran a marathon and find it difficult to take long, deep breathes due to a tight feeling in the chest.

4.      Cold Sweat

Another common sign is breaking out in a cold sweat while sitting still. This sign never stands on its own though. Most people who have a heart attack experience chest pressure or pain, shortness of breath and cold sweat all at the same time.

5.      Spreading Pain

Mostly the pain of a heart attack starts in the chest and spreads to the shoulders, shoulder blade, arms, elbow, back, neck, jaw and abdomen. The pain will mostly spread to the left side of your body.
In some cases there is no chest pain, just the pain in these body parts and therefore people often think they have sore muscles. The pain may come and go or it may be a constant pain.

6.      Fluid Accumulation

Heart failure can accumulate fluids, making your feet, legs, and abdomen swell. Abdominal swelling can lead to a loss of appetite. Those fluids can also accumulate in your lungs, causing a persistent cough or wheeze. Some people even cough up bloody phlegm.

7.      Irregular Heart Pulse

Irregular heart pulses or arrhythmias combined with dizziness, weakness and shortness of breath can be a sign of a heart attack.

8.      Light headed

Lightheadedness and loss of consciousness can occur while experiencing other heart attack symptoms.

9.      Fatigue And Weakness

Unusual fatigue and weakness can occur in the days or weeks before having a heart attack.

10.  Nausea and vomiting

Not the most common sign and especially women feel sick to their stomach when having a heart attack.
Not everyone having a heart attack will have the typical symptoms of chest pain, sweat, and shortness of breath. Especially women experience more vomiting and dizziness and therefore they often think it’s the flu or a cold.
Symptoms can come in a matter of seconds or slowly build-up for days and even weeks. So at any time you may think there’s something wrong call for help. Acting fast can save your life and when things turn really bad, don’t drive yourself but call 911 and try to stay calm and breathe slowly. Also if you’re not allergic to aspirin it is wise to crush or chew on one to limit the damage.

Hormonal imbalances might affect both men and women, and cause numerous symptoms, including fatigue, mood swings, fertility issues, weight gain, depression, insomnia.

7 ESSENTIAL OILS THAT BALANCE HORMONES & HOW TO USE THEM
Credit:dietquickplan.com
If untreated, hormonal imbalances might lead to diseases like diabetes and cancer.
The following seven essential oils can help you treat hormonal imbalances:
  1. Lavender Oil
Lavender helps the body to balance the hormonal changes, and also treats pain due to abdominal cramps during menstruation. Also, women also feel emotional and depressed for no evident reason while in PMS or when they suffer from hormone imbalance, and it soothes stress and the feelings of discomfort.
  1. Thyme Oil
Studies have shown that thyme essential oil positively affects progesterone, by improving progesterone production. Low levels of this hormone lead to depression, infertility, and PCOS.
  1. Basil Oil
The function of the adrenal glands is to cope with daily stress, by producing cortisol. This essential oil boosts the body’s natural response to both physical and emotional stress.
Researchers have found that the daily use of basil extracts reduce the general stress symptoms, such as exhaustion, sleep issues, and forgetfulness.
  1. Clary Sage Oil
A study conducted in 2014 showed that the inhalation of clary sage oil reduces the levels of cortisol by 36%, and increases the thyroid hormone levels. According to researchers “clary sage oil had a statistically significant effect on lowering cortisol and had an anti-depressant effect improving mood.”
  1. Lemongrass Oil
The ovaries produce estrogen and progesterone, and when these hormones are imbalanced, the person experiences infertility, PMS, and difficult or irregular menstrual cycles.
According to Dutch researchers, the compounds in lemon peels, which are also found in this oil, boost liver functions, as well as the production of hormones, by reducing liver cholesterol.
  1. Sandalwood Oil
It balances testosterone in women and man and improves the levels of hormones in the body. It also acts as a powerful natural aphrodisiac which enhances libido.
  1. Myrtle Oil
About 20 million Americans suffer from some kind of thyroid disease, and even 60% of them are not aware of it. The thyroid gland regulates numerous processes in the body, as well as the metabolism and the body’s temperature. This essential oil stimulates the thyroid activity, and balances and normalizes the function of the ovaries and the balance of hormones.
Here is how to use them in order to treat hormonal imbalance:
-You should mix some coconut oil with some of these essential oils and rub it on different areas of the body, to help their absorption through the skin.
— To improve hormone balance, mix 2 drops of clary sage oil with 2 drops of lavender oil and create a powerful aromatherapy formula.
-Soak in a bath with some warm water, 2 drops of lavender, and 3 drops of clary sage. This will soothe PMS symptoms.
