Wu - yi tea

June 6th, 2009 -- Posted in Uncategorized | 0

Welcome back!

Wu yi tea is showing increasingly clearer evidence that it is a very powerful and effective fat reducer, making it of great interest to men who are trying to get rid of fatty deposits around their chest area, sometimes known as moobs or man boobs.

In a review of the current studies on the health effects of Wu-yi tea, researchers Wang, Thielecke and Wolfram reported with reference to the fat burning effects of Wu-Yi tea in human laboratory studies that “these studies indicate a decrease in body mass and a overall weight loss.”

Wu-yi has been used in China as a medicinal herb for more than 3000 years. During this time, in the absence of more precise scientific research, it was used for its general health-promoting and tonic effects. However, following the more recent studies, it is now thought to have an influence on body fat in two ways:

1. By the regulation of glucose in the bloodstream, preventing it from rapidly converting to body fat (a process that usually naturally takes place when excess glucose is ingested). This in turn reduces the amount of body fat the body creates.

EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate, also known as epigallocatechin 3-gallate) is thought to be the main substance within Wu-Yi tea that is responsible for this action. Epigallocatechin gallate is a type of catechin — an anti-oxidant similar to Vitamin E and C – however, like several other newly discovered antioxidants, it is considered to be much more potent. As an antioxidant, EGCG is not only effective in preventing the creation of fat but it can actually encourage rapid fat oxidation.

2. The second main beneficial effect is through an increase in the body’s own heat-production in metabolism, called thermogenesis. This means Wu-Yi tea’s ingredients actually increase the levels of fat oxidation and the bodies’ natural production of heat regardless of activity level, resulting in increased metabolism, higher levels of calorie use by the body and more rapid weight-loss on your chosen regime!

The evidence now is almost conclusive that Wu-Yi is a first-class supplement for assisting fat burning and weight reduction. It shouldn’t be overlooked that it may also become known as a great asset for those who are trying to figure out how to get rid of man breasts, the condition known more formally as gynecomastia, by helping to break down fat accumulation in the body as a whole and in the chest area.

Removing Genital Warts

June 6th, 2009 -- Posted in Uncategorized | 0

Genital warts, also called venereal warts, are caused by HPV virus and affect the top layer of the skin around the genital area. This type of virus is spread only through sexual contact with an infected person. In all cases of suspected or confirmed genital warts, you really should see a doctor. You owe it not just for your own health, but for the health of anyone you might ever have sex with.

Genital warts can appear in tiny clusters of bumps and small raised growths or can spread into a large area of the penis or the female genital area. In men, genital warts may be found on the tip of the penis, on the shaft of the penis, on the scrotum or on the anus area. In women, genital wart can be found inside and outside of the vagina. Some women develop genital warts around the cervix area, the uterus and around the anus. According to experts, since the genitalia of female is open and more exposed to infection compared to that of male, females are more at risk of developing complications than their male counterparts when it comes to genital warts.

Although genital warts are very unsightly, they are not really dangerous. In fact, most warts will disappear without treatment. If the immune system of the person infected is strong, the immune system will most likely fight off the virus that caused the wart. In most cases, the auto immune system of the human body can kill the warts in 8 to 13 months from the time it first appeared on the skin. Unfortunately, the immune system of the human body cannot totally eradicate the HPV virus that caused the warts. Therefore, there is no assurance that the warts will not come back after they have disappeared. Studies showed that the growth of warts can be very unpredictable and nobody can really be certain as to whether or not these types of skin diseases will recur or not after some time.

There are home remedies for genital warts that take a more direct approach. You can puncture a Vitamin E oil capsule and smear the oil on your genital warts. But that’s not all. You then smear crushed raw garlic cloves on the warts and cover it all up with adhesive bandage for about three days. Be sure to wash your hands before you wipe the tears from your eyes, or the garlic juice might burn your eyes as well. Some of the home remedies for genital warts will sting at first, but then subside as they battle to get rid of the wart. Hydrogen peroxide is one of the most inexpensive home remedies for genital warts. Every time you have to use the toilet, wipe your genital warts with a clean cotton ball soaked in hydrogen peroxide. The wart should drop off after a few days.

If the warts started to spread uncontrollably and have developed into fleshy, small raised growth on a large portion of the genital area, you’d better see a doctor at once. Although the body can get rid of the warts on its own, there are times when intervention is needed to speed up the process. In most cases, doctors will treat the genital warts with imiquimod, a form of topical cream that is applied directly to the affected area. Some doctors will use podophyllin anti-mitotic solution. For stubborn warts that do not respond to topical cream treatment, the doctor may resort to electric or laser cauterization to burn off the warts.

Unfortunately, there are few successful medical options available. Surgically removing warts is the most common medical procedure. However, the patient is subject to a painful surgical intervention which results in skin damage/scarring along with the probability the warts will return. Besides, these types of treatments have the potential to cause birth defects on pregnant women so it would be a good idea to wait until the woman has given birth before starting any form of treatment.

CURED have included anti-tumor plant material in HPVCurative as HPV causes tumor development. In late 1999, in a collaborative published study conducted by the Department of Oncology, Karolinska Hospital, Stockholm, Sweden, it was demonstrated that the naturally occurring monoterpenoids in HPVCurative prevented mammary carcinomas in rodents, both at the initiation and progression stages. Further, it was reported that the sesquiterpenes in HPVCurative demonstrated anti-tumor effects both in vitro (in the lab) and in vivo (on human subjects). As a result, the anti-tumor properties of the extracts in HPVCurative have been established.

These naturally occurring substances are extracted from plants which are not readily available in the commercial market. However, CURED has secured them in Madagascar and concentrated them in HPVCurative.

How to Lower Blood Pressure With Hypnosis Downloads

June 6th, 2009 -- Posted in Uncategorized | 0

Clinical studies have shown that as you relax your blood pressure lowers. This is irrefutable fact. It follows therefore that anything that you can do yourself which helps you to relax will help you to lower your blood pressure. All too often your blood pressure is high before you realize it. Then you go to see the doctor and start taking one or other of the medications designed to reduce blood pressure. Why don’t more people use hypnosis downloads as a method of relaxation and a natural way in which to reduce blood pressure? The answer to this question lies, in all probability, within the current western culture.

High Blood Pressure is such a familiar ailment in the Western world that we almost take it for granted that we will at some stage in our lives suffer from it. Not only that, we are all aware that there are suitable medications which will adequately assist in lowering our blood pressure and continue to maintain it at a satisfactory level. Few of us even attempt to lower our blood pressure naturally, or are even aware of the steps which we can take in terms of preventative medicine.

Oh, yes, I know that we know not to consume too much salt, or drink too much alcohol, or to allow ourselves to get overweight. We are aware of the fact that we should look after ourselves in this area, but do we put that awareness into action? Does the average 20 or 25 year old think about health risks which rarely kick in until 20 or more years later? In the main, I think not. More people worry about their weight for cosmetic or aesthetic reasons than for reasons of health. And yet which is more important in the long run?

In our culture we have come to take less and less care of our health and rely upon the health profession to provide a “fix” for us later as and when we (inevitably) succumb to illness or disease. We do not meet the health profession half way. We do little to help ourselves and then expect everything to be “cured” by the NHS or our insurance. No wonder these systems are crumbling under this unfair pressure. We need to meet the health care “system” half way, don’t you think?

What can we do to help ourselves? If we set out with the attitude of imagining that no health care existed, or no health care would be available, perhaps we might take a little bit more care of ourselves. This is, after all, how people lived their lives before medical advancements made our lives so much easier, and allowed us the liberty to sit back on our haunches.

Illness generally manifests itself in the human body as a reflection of how we think and how we live our lives. We should listen to our bodies and question what disease or illness is telling us, and then take steps to change. Blood pressure is an easy ailment to work with. We know that if you learn to relax your blood pressure will lower. Now, I’m not saying to not go to the doctor - I am merely pointing out that there are things which can be done which are complementary to the medical advice which you are given.

If you ignore the messages which your body is providing for you, your body has an uncanny knack of providing you with another symptom and will keep doing so until you begin to listen. Your body is a self-healing organism. It is designed to heal itself and will do so providing that you give it the correct environmental conditions.

It is only in the Western world that we have drifted so far away from the natural remedies which are available to us. In the East, there is good use made of many complementary therapies and not only are they used as a cure, they are relied upon as a way of life, as a way of maintaining good health and preventing illness and disease.

The fact is that mind and body are intrinsically linked and how you think inevitably has a massive impact upon your health. You can learn to use your mind to assist in good health in many different ways. You can scrutinize your lifestyle choices and see if they are indeed conducive to good health. You can learn to use meditation and hypnosis as a natural method of relaxation.

Anyone who has read my articles will know how vitally important I think it is for everyone to learn to use hypnosis. Hypnosis is a state of relaxation and it is natural. You pass through hypnosis every night as you go to sleep. It’s easy to learn, easy to use and has no nasty side effects at all. Not only that, it allows access to your subconscious mind, the part which acts instinctively and automatically; this in turn makes it easier and quicker to change deep rooted beliefs, habits and behaviors. When in hypnosis your creative mind is more accessible as well and so you can activate your ability to visualize. These phenomena can be taken advantage of to trigger your body’s natural ability to self-heal.

Every thought you have activates neuro-transmitters in your brain which send messages to every cell in your body. Research has shown how focused suggestions and visualizations can be used to activate your body’s natural ability to self heal. You can use hypnosis downloads which will guide you in the art of relaxation and visualization and show you ways in which you can help yourself to lower your blood pressure, and maintain good health in many different ways.

It is my firm belief that it time to listen to our bodies, and do whatever we can to maintain a state of good health, and to meet the health profession half-way.
