Something I don't know much about

Got a phonecall yesterday from someone who has just been diagnosed with pleurisy. Have booked them a session of reiki but has anyone used any herbs for this complaint? - no history of chest infection that they can remember from last few months - possibly caused by breathing in wood dust and/or filler - presently awaiting feedback from x-ray, which being a holiday they will have to wait till Tuesday now. Bet if they were a 'really useful' MP or a member of our ever scrounging royals the result would have instantaneous etc etc

So you want to be thin!

It's that time of year again when lots of us join gyms and think about our weight but think about this.
If 100 people go on a DIET 96 will actually put weight on in the long term. DIETS are a con! Have you not seen the how big the industry is behind all these products. If the products really worked the companies would go out of business. DIETS DO NOT WORK - they are guaranteed not to work - their only function is to genereate vast profits for the diet industry. STOP WASTING YOUR MONEY.
So what to do? Go somewhere like Weight Watchers. This group encorages 'healthy eating'. Think about what you eat. Supplement this group with EFT and/or hypnotherapy. As a hypnotherapist I never use the word DIET, look at the first three letters. Is your subconscious mind really going to let you carry on with something that will result in D I E ?
Hand on heart. Do you do enough exercise? Could you walk upstairs instead of using the lift at work or the escalater at the shops? Could you get of the bus a stop earlier. Interesting article in the press yesterday: for long term weight-loss and healthful benefits having to walk a dog on a daily basis is far more effective than an expensive gym membership that you will have given up on by the middle of February. Now I just need a brand of dog that won't make me sneeze!
New Year tip: put the word 'aspartemene' (that might be spelt wrong) or sugar substitute into your search engine and really give yourself a jolt! You're being conned if you think they are healthier than sugar. Happy healthy eating.....

Merry Christmas

To anyone that has clicked into here and anyone that has a peep on a regular basis I would just like to wish you all a very merry Christmas and a happy and healthy New Year.

Cancer – Chemotherapy is not the only option

During the last three years, numerous people across the world have achieved remarkable results using the Nature’s Sunshine cancer programme. The full programme is an arsenal of four products attacking cancer cells by different means and at the same time strengthening the body’s immune system and its ability to defend itself. This programme has been used for a large variety of different types of cancer. After using the programme for only a few days, many people started to see noticeable benefits including having more energy and skin colour improvement. The four products consist of Paw Paw Cell Reg, Immune Formula, Zambroza and Hi Potency Protease.

Paw Paw Cell Reg
Whilst each product in the programme plays an important role, the key product is Paw Paw Cell Reg, which disrupts the energy cycle of cancerous and abnormal cells. The high metabolic rate of theses cells stimulates a reaction with the active ingredients in Paw Paw Cell Reg resulting in inhibiting the cells energy. Abnormal cells reacting to these active ingredients are then less able to grow and develop. Many cells in this state become dormant or destroy themselves (apoptosis).

Immune Formula
This combination product effectively increases the white blood in the body, helping the body defend itself against abnormal cells and pathogens.

Zambroza
Independently, clinically proven to be the most powerful product on the market, Zambroza protects the body against free radical damage which is the root cause of many health problems including many types of cancer.

Hi Potency Protease
In large concentration, Protease (a digestive enzyme) is able to progress from the stomach into the bloodstream and helps break down the structure of the abnormal cells, which are effectively attacked by the rest of the regimen.

“Continue with this regime as long as necessary until 6 months after you have been given the all clear”

Can you take this regime during Chemotherapy?
When someone has chemotherapy, they will need to stop antioxidant supplements such as Zambroza as antioxidants make chemotherapy (excess free radical causing drug) less effective. Zambroza should be taken however, leading up to chemotherapy treatment and immediately after the course of chemotherapy treatment has finished. The other three products in this regime are not only safe to take during conventional treatment but they will also enhance the results.

Enhancing conventional treatment
Sometimes cancerous cells can recognize and reject familiar conventional treatments. With conventional treatment, when the chemical enters the cell, the cell pumps out the chemical before it delivers its desired effect (chemo resistant cancer cells). This pumping mechanism is dependent on the energy of the cell (ATP). The pump will stop when its supply of energy dwindles. If the energy can stay in the cell the treatment will be more effective. As mentioned above, Paw Paw Cell Reg stops the energy cycle of the cell therefore making the resistant pumping mechanism redundant and the treatment more effective. Conventional treatment also results in a low immune system and Immune Formula helps combat this by encouraging white blood cell production.

We are all just guinea pigs!

BREAST CANCER: Rates drop dramatically as women stop taking HRT

The rate of new breast cancer cases in the USA has suddenly dropped dramatically, and scientists reckon it’s because fewer women are taking hormone replacement therapy (HRT).
Millions of women stopped taking HRT for menopausal symptoms following a series of studies that linked it to a range of serious diseases, including breast cancer.
Breast cancer rates fell by 12 per cent in 2003 among women aged between 50 and 69, who were most likely to have HRT. UK researchers have reported a smaller, but still significant, fall in breast cancer rates among British women of a similar age.
Researchers from the University of Texas reported that 14,000 fewer women had been diagnosed with breast cancer in 2003, which coincides with a dramatic and sudden drop-off in those taking HRT after a study the previous year discovered a link between the drug and breast cancer.
Researcher Dr Peter Ravdin said: “It is the largest single drop in breast cancer incidence within a single year I am aware of. Something went right in 2003, and it seems that it was the decrease in the use of hormone therapy.”
(Source: BBC, 15 December 2006).
There are effective natural alternatives for a natural process that the medical profession treat as if it is a disease. These herbs will not deplete your bone minerals, add to the possibility of breast cancer or deplete you of vital vitamins and are avaialbe from Nature's Sunshine.

Think you live in the land of the free?

BANNED AND FINED: The price of selling apricot seeds (and extra virgin olive oil)

Spare a thought for Jim Wright, who ran a natural products company from his home in Wales. Following two dawn raids by enforcement agencies, his business has been closed down, he’s been fined £1,000 and has been ordered to perform 120 hours’ community service.
His crime was supplying some apricot seeds to an enforcement agent who claimed to be a desperate woman looking for a treatment for her husband who was dying from prostate cancer.
Once he sent the plant to the woman, enforcement agents from the UK’s Medicines & Healthcare Products Regulatory Authority made a second dawn raid on his home, and took away documents and the rest of his stock, including extra virgin olive oil.
The plant contained B17, or Laetrile, which was banned in Britain in 2002, despite overwhelming evidence of its role as a natural cancer fighter that has been used since the time of the ancient Egyptians.
It was the second time that Wright had been set up. The first dawn raid happened after he sold some natural products to a BBC reporter, who was pretending to be someone with a serious illness. Bizarrely, nothing that he sold on that occasion was illegal or banned.
If you do want to make sure you’re getting plenty of B17, despite the best efforts of our health guardians, you’ll find it in lentils, chickpeas, wild berries and brown rice. (Source: Alliance for Natural Health, 15 December 2006). Thought, Do the same enforcement agencies do dawn raids on the multi-nationals for selling 'happy-pills' that cause anxiety and suicidal thoughts, the MMR vaccine that 'allegedly' causes autism or HRT for adding to the breast cancer problem (see next post) - I think not.

The Daily Mail catches up!

Sooner or later the UK's top daily newspaper catches up with things we have been telling you at Wishing Well for some considerable time. Today's edition includes two excellent articles. The first states that "No-one should take the pill or HRT" on the grounds that the risk of breast cancer is grreatly increased but forgets mention that HRT can also deplete bone minerals and give you osteoporosis, and the second article states that so called "happy-pills" for depression just don't work - halleluia! People are waking up. The article goes on to say that by far the preferred treatment sould be a 'talking-therapy' but due to the post-code lottery this is not avaialbe for vast numbers of patients. So, they are given unsuitable pills that only make the multi-nationals richer and the poor sods on them slaves to medication.

This magazine is ace!

I reallly love this magazine, its always full of stuff you really need to know about. Read the article at http://www.nexusmagazine.com/articles/margarine.html and find out how we have been conned into not using cocunut oil. A fat that is miles healthier than soy, margarine, sunflower etc etc But here I go again, all the fats we are encouraged to use are manufactured by the profit not health multi-nationals.

What are they trying to Hide?

Dr Mercola, is trying to tell us about the hidden dangers of sugar and artificail sweetners but if you live in the UK and try to access the link you will get this:

Attorneys acting on behalf of the manufacturers of sucralose, Tate & Lyle PLC based in London, England, have requested that the information contained on this page not be made available to Internet users in England.

Makes you think doesn't it? Yet more proof that big multinationals are more interested in profit than our health?

Doctor's in Glass Houses

Cancer specialist attacks alternative therapies

Everyone knows the old saying 'People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones', everyone, that is, except Prof Jonathan Waxman, a cancer specialist at Imperial College in London.
He's been throwing stones at the alternative medicine and organic foods markets, which he says do nothing to help cancer patients other than to give them false hope, and generate vast profits for themselves in the meantime (I thought that was the role of the multi-national drug companies).
Prof Waxman states "It is the hope of clinicians that the snake oil salesmen that peddle cures and exploit the desperate will be tipped in the cobra-filled dustbin of oblivion," he writes in a vitriolic essay in the British Medical Journal.
To that end, all alternative strategies should be reclassified as drugs - as they all claim a cure (although few to my knowledge actually do) - and legislate them out of existence, he says. "Protect our patients from vile and cynical exploitation whose intellectual basis, at best, might be viewed as delusional," upon saying which he went back into his house, made entirely from glass.
First up with his own slingshot was Dr Damien Downing, medical director with the Alliance for Natural Health, a group that is fighting to safeguard alternative medicine against a barrage of EU legislation.
Prof Waxman assumes that, in contrast to alternative and complementary medicine, conventional therapies are tested by sound science. Sadly, that's not the case, says Dr Downing. A quick visit to the BMJ Clinical Evidence website reveals that, of the 2,404 treatments surveyed, just 15 per cent were rated as beneficial, while it's not known if 47 per cent are effective at all.
Turn to Prof Waxman's own specialty of oncology and the picture worsens. A study prepared in 2004 revealed that chemotherapy achieved a five-year survival rate of less than 2.5 per cent. Dietary changes are four times as effective in treating cancer, another study revealed.
Other doctors don't seem to share Prof Waxman's confidence in the scientific basis of medicine. Writing in the same issue, Aubrey Blumsohn, a consultant at the Sheffield Teaching Hospitals, says that doctors have allowed the drugs industry to sabotage medicine. "We have allowed (the drugs) industry to subvert the rules of science. We have watched quietly as governments and academics have colluded with industry to hide information critical to our patients. We have remained silent as our medical schools have churned out graduates who have no knowledge of the dilemmas and scandals of medicine. We have allowed many of our medical journals to become corrupted and timid," he writes.
Come to think of it, Prof Waxman's house isn't made of glass at all. It's constructed entirely from straw - just blowing in the wind.

Paw Paw - What's your opinion?

PAW PAW CELL-REG

Cancer is a devastating disease for which there is yet no absolute cure. Genetic predisposition and mutations (abnormal changes in the nuclei of cells) caused by chemicals, radiation, hormones, and viruses account for 5-10% and 90-95% of all cancers, respectively. Cancer afflicts almost every part of the human body from the skin to the marrows and is indiscriminate of age. The annual U.S. death toll from cancer is over 555, 000 and costs about $156 billion in direct medical, indirect morbidity and mortality expense and losses.

Different approaches are employed in the treatment of cancer, depending on type, site and stage. In situ cancers are surgically removed and followed up with other treatments if metastasized to the lymph nodes and other organs.

Cancer cells grow and multiply rapidly and anticancer drugs (chemotherapy) normally destroy cancer cells by damaging their genetic material, thus stopping their proliferation. Some drugs work better together than alone, hence two or more drugs are often given at the same time. Unfortunately, most anticancer drugs are not selective, thus healthy cells can also be harmed, especially those that divide quickly. Harm to healthy cells causes the side effects. Healthy cells, however, can replicate and re-establish a normal population and size after chemotherapy.

Radiation therapy, also called radiotherapy, is the treatment of cancer and other diseases with ionizing radiation, especially for localized solid tumours, such as cancers of the skin, tongue, brain, breast, or uterine cervix. Radiotherapy can also be used to treat leukemia and lymphoma (cancers of the blood-forming cells and lymphatic system, respectively). Ionizing radiation destroys cells in the area being treated by damaging their genetic material, making it impossible for these cells to continue to grow. Both cancerous and normal cells are also damaged during treatment.

Newer forms of treatment involve angiogenesis inhibition, stimulating the immune system to fight cancer, bone marrow and peripheral stem cell transplantation, and gene and photodynamic therapy.

Possible side effects of cancer treatment include loss of hair, skin irritation, anemia (due to bone marrow depression), and temporary change in skin colour in the treated area, bleeding (platelet depletion), infections, chemo-induced cancer, and generalized weakness. Other side effects are largely dependent on the area of the body that is treated.

Paw Paw Cell-Reg is a dietary supplement that contains natural compounds that may be a good alternative or logical supplement to chemotherapy. Research information suggests that the bioactive compounds in Paw Paw Cell-Reg will prevent the growth of cancer cells and shrink tumours.

Key Ingredient
Paw Paw extract containing standardized mixtures of annonaceous acetogenins from the paw paw (Asimina triloba) tree.

Scientific Information
The paw paw tree is native to the eastern U.S. The fruits are banana-like and have been consumed by Native Americans for thousands of years. Eli Lilly and Company sold a liquid extract of its seeds at the end of the 1800’s as an emetic. Thus, it has a history of safe human use and consumption.

Annonaceous acetogenins are complex mixtures of long chain fatty acids derivatives from the extracts of the twigs of the paw paw tree. Many of the acetogenins have been isolated and characterized, and their numerous health benefits are being explored. Three, bullatacin, asimicin, and trilobacin, have been identified as the most potent, major, bioactive structural types of acetogenins in the paw paw concentrate. 1-6

Difficulties with most of the chemotherapeutic drugs emanate from their concurrent eradication of normal healthy cells, including those responsible for immunity.

Tumour cells grow and replicate more rapidly than normal cells. This is because they are better equipped to receive glucose, having seven times more insulin receptors 7 and ten times more IGF receptors 8 than normal cells. Also, cancer cells quickly develop a network of blood vessels (angiogenesis) to ensure an efficient supply of nutrients and oxygen. This is partly why cancer patients lose weight; the cancer cells rapidly take up nutrients meant for normal cells.

Furthermore, with chemotherapy cancer cells develop resistance to the drugs, rendering chemotherapy useless and futile after a period of remission. The same principle applies to other diseases that have become drug resistant, such as malaria. The organisms and cancer cells smartly find a way of protecting themselves from the damaging effects of drugs. They generate what is called the ABC transporter superfamily, which transports a variety of substrates including amino acids, sugars, inorganic ions, polysaccharides, peptides, and proteins into the cells. In cancer cells, a member of this superfamily, called the multidrug resistant (MDR) protein, is overexpressed and helps to pump drugs out of the cancer cells, making the cancer cells simultaneously resistant to a variety of drugs. Thus, the cancer cells are protected from the toxic effects of drug combinations.

Annonaceous acetogenins may be good chemotherapeutic agents for cancer. These compounds inhibit mitochondrial and cytoplasmic production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is the major source of energy for the cells and also a precursor of the nucleotides needed to produce DNA and RNA. Annonaceous acetogenins inhibit the enzymes of complex I in the electron transport system in mitochondria. 9-14 They also inhibit the NADH oxidases found in the plasma membranes of Tumour cells. 15 Their net effect is depletion of ATP levels.

Tumour cells, being typically metabolically more active, are more susceptible than normal cells to the effects of the acetogenins. Angiogenesis requires ATP 16 and angiostatin blocks angiogenesis by inhibiting ATP synthase. 17 Thus, ATP depletion helps to block the growth of new vessels to nourish tumours. Tyrosine kinases, which play roles in Tumour progression, are also inhibited by ATP depletion. 18

Annonaceous acetogenins also thwart MDR Tumour cells. The protein pumps (p 170 glycoproteins), which extrude the drugs from the Tumour cells are energized by ATP.19-26 Thus, by depleting ATP, the glycoproptein pumps become dysfunctional.

Ongoing studies confirm the benefits of paw paw extracts in clinical cancer treatments. Paw paw extracts can be used to inhibit the growth of cancer cells and as effective alternatives or supplements to chemotherapeutic agents. Research studies also show that paw paw extracts have anti-helminthic (worm controlling) benefits. To date, 130 cancer patients have experienced positive benefits (decrease of Tumour sizes, lowered levels of Tumour antigens, and generalized improvement).

Contraindication
It is not advisable to take Paw paw with nutritional supplements like CoQ10 and thyroid stimulators, as these supplements enhance mitochondrial complex 1 activities and energy production, respectively. Likewise, antioxidants block programmed cell deaths (apoptosis) and can reverse the damaging effects of paw paw on the cancer cells.

Safety/Toxicity
The acetogenins are not mutagenic. Unlike most anti-tumour drugs, acetogenins do not exert their effects by poisoning DNA; they selectively inhibit ATP production. These results have been confirmed in a recent publication in which two paw paw acetogenins were found to be antimicrobial but not mutagenic. 27 In other unpublished results (Asta Laboratories), bullatacin was emetic in pigs. This result demonstrated that the acetogenins very likely explain the former use of Eli Lilly’s liquid extract of paw paw seeds as an emetic preparation. An unpublished report shows that vomiting (emesis) prevented toxicity of paw paw capsules in dogs. Emesis is a definite safety factor should someone ingest excessive amounts of this supplement either intentionally or unintentionally. Any potential systemic toxic effects are conveniently thwarted by emesis.

A recent study on the island of Guadeloupe suggested that a higher than usual incidence of atypical Parkinsonism there might be caused by the chronic consumption of herbal teas and fruits from the Annonaceae family (Annona muricata and A. squamosa); some of the benzyltetrahydroisoquinoline alkaloids found therein are believed to be neurotoxic and, thus, may be responsible for the Parkinsonism. 28 Such alkaloids were carefully excluded from the annonaceous extracts during processing of paw paw.

Christmas can be Depressing!

Depression: Coping at Christmas

It may be the season of goodwill, but for many there is a darker side to the coming celebrations. Suicide levels rise to their highest in January, and the Samaritans expect to receive 10 per cent more calls over the festive season.
There are many reasons why the festive period can be very difficult for people, 'There is a great deal of pressure to be enjoying themselves, the television and magazines are full of people having a great time and jolly figures of Father Christmas appear almost everywhere. The perception can be that everybody else is happy but you, and then the anticlimax of New Year can hit people particularly hard.
Whether you're one of the many who dread this time of year, or you're worried about someone else here are some tips you may find useful.
1. Don't beat yourself up or give yourself a hard time As stated above there is a great expectation to be happy at Christmas and New Year. When reality doesn't work out that way, it can be even more depressing. Don't blame yourself if you're not feeling great - you are not alone.
2. Spot the signs of trouble If the future seems bleak, and you have lost interest in everything, you need to take stock of your situation. Watch out for the following signs of emotional distress:
difficulties getting to sleep.
problems eating.
excessive drinking.
being anxious.
being angry.
Holding yourself together at work but not joining in with anything at home.
3. Your emotions are your body's signal that something is wrong. If you feel moody, take it seriously and take action.
Look after yourself If your body is healthy, your mind is more able to cope.
Eat sensibly and get plenty of sleep.
Don't rely on alcohol or drugs to get you through.
Exercise to raise your mood (you don’t have to run a marathon just a walk in the fresh air can do wonders.)
Take time out for yourself – give yourself some ‘me’ time.
Give yourself the occasional treat - you deserve it.
4. It's good to talk Find someone you trust, who'll keep what you say confidential, then tell them about your problems. Unexpressed emotions stop you coping with everyday life. Once you talk about them, you'll find you've got more energy, you think more clearly and you're more able to sort things out.
5. Ask for help Admitting to yourself that you need help is a significant step forward. When you get to this point don't be afraid of asking. Remember, if you can’t wait to sort out a therapist and want to talk about anything that's bothering you, you can get in touch with the Samaritans at any time of day or night. They won’t tell you what to do, and definitely won't tell anyone you called, but they will listen for as long as you need.

If you’ve never heard of the Samaritans they are an organisation that provide confidential emotional support to people in crisis, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
You can contact them by calling 08457 90 90 90 (textphone 08457 90 91 92) you’ll find your local branch listed in the phonebook.
If you’re reading this because you’re worried about someone else,
Ask the person how they are feeling and listen to the answer.
No matter how much you want to help, it's difficult to support someone who is suicidal on your own.
Encourage the person to seek help and talk to someone they trust, such as a family member, local therapist or a helpline e.g Samaritans.
Contact Samaritans yourself, who may be able to contact the person you're worried about.
Finally, if you're helping someone who feels suicidal, make sure you remember to take care of yourself, too.

Whoops, I'm on a role

I won't mention SSRIs again for a least a week but I just had to share this with you all.
A new study suggests that "pregnant women who are taking an SSRI antidepressant such as Prozac have double the risk of their precious baby being born with a congenital abnormality. The most dangerous time is during the second and third months of pregnancy. However, the researchers also found that the risk is vitually non-existant among women who are prescribed an SSRI later on in the pregnancy. This is a further blow to a class of drugs that is suspected of causing suicidal tendencies in patients and, paradoxically, making their depression worse. (sourse: Epidemiology, 2006; Oct).

Reiki - and depression.

Just returned from an early morning therapy session - it never ceases to amaze me just how powerful reiki can be. To see someones long term depression lifting after three/four sessions is truly humbling.
Talking about depression, I seem to be getting more and more clients who have been prescribed anti-depression drugs in the form of SSRI's. Are doctors getting too quick to dole out these dangerous drugs as though they were doling out sweets?
Read the accompanying leaflet! SSRI'S can cause anxiety, panic attacks and if youi're really unlucky suicidal thoughts. And, by the way, these type of drugs deplete your body of B vitamins. Guess which vitamins you need to stop the brain chemicals unbalancing and causing depression - you guessed vitamin Bs. So when you come to the end of the prescribed time you will find it hard to give up, you will feel 'blue' so the doctor will say "we'll just keep you on SSRI'S a while longer." Result; the drug companies have another long term SSRI junkie and their profits go up.
Just so you know. I have total respect for my doctors and believe they always do their best for me and their other patients - I just think the whole medical proffession is being lied to and misled by profit motivated drugs companies. For example, why have the British and American governments stock-piled millions of pounds worth of anti bird-flu jabs? Because the drug companies said they had to and that they would be failing the electorate if they weren't ready for the epidemic.
1. Where is the epidemic? and did you know that the drug companies have now admitted that the stock-piled jabs are 'probably useless' anyway because, the virus still hasn't crossed over to humans and when it does only then will they know how to build the anti-dote. Scandalous really isn't it? 2. These drugs will have a shelf life and then the governing medical bodies will be convincing us that they have to re-stock: yet more profit for the drugs barons.
Why are old people given a flu-jab at the start of winter? If flu comes it will be a different strain to the one innoculated for because it always mutates. A waste of time but good for generating profit.
Did you know that in Germany the most prescribed item to cope with mild depression is not a drug but the very powerful herb St John's Wort.
PS Nature's Sunshine have the most potent blend of this herb.

Is Work-Place Stress killing You?

Longer hours and more work spread amongst fewer workers because of business down-sizing is bound to take its toll as stress-induced health problems. Here's how to tell if stress at work may be harming your health:


  • Do you often feel like he does?
  • Do you always find it hard to get out of bed?

  • Are you always tired?

  • Are you having short-term memory problems and keep forgetting things?

  • Do you have aches and pains there doesn't seem to be a reason for?

  • Have you lost your appetite or conversely you can't stop snacking?

  • Have you lost your sex drive?

  • Are you always irritable and angry?

If you answered yes to three or more of the above, you really do need to do something about your work-place stress.

Your own home based business

Do you know anyone who is looking for a second income, maybe a therapist who is looking for the ideal complement to their therapy business? If so, please email me. Not only will they be joining the Nature’s Sunshine family but they will also be involved with the finest herbal products it is possible to buy. Unlike some other companies there are no minimum orders, no stock to hold, the only targets are the ones you impose upon yourself, it is completely free to join and there is loads of support and free training available.

Job Satisfaction

How fantastic is this job? I've had more job satisfaction in one session of hypnotherapy than I had in the last ten years as a civil servant. A chronic smoker tapped his craving away with 15 minutes of EFT and hasn't wanted a cigarette since: brilliant

Keep smiling

So what are your thoughts on clients that don't turn up? Do you send them a bill?
Why don't people just phone and say "this isn't for me, I'm not coming back?" instead they leave me sitting in the clinic like a lemon - how do other therapists get round this problem?
