Natural Physician's Healing Therapies by Mark Stengler ND
is a considerable work which covers healing modalities
including vitamins, herbs , acupressure and others.
For instance, aloe vera juice is known to
lower blood sugar levels. Alpha lipoic acid
is helpful for cardiac autonomic neuropathy,
dementia, type 2 diabetes, peripheral neuropathy
and skin aging. Glutamine is helpful for
wound healing, inflammatory bowel disease
and leaky gut syndrome. Arthritis may be
helped by using lipoic acid, Vitamins C and E,
Selenium and Grapeseed Oil Extract.
Arginine may be helpful for angina,
congestive heart failure, diabetic foot ulcers,
high blood pressure, interstitial cystitis,
bladder and pelvic floor problems. Artichokes are a
good tonic for arterial health and wellness.
Noxvomica is used for colitis and bladder infections.
Stevia is a classic replacement for white sugar. The preparation
is sold in most health food stores. Diabetics and persons trying
to lose weight may benefit by using stevia as a sugar substitute.
Some bakeries utilize stevia and other herbs to make sugar-free
cookies and cakes.
Tea Tree Oil is a classic tonic for mouth and gum infections,
as well as skin infections. Eye and ear infections may be
helped by colloidal silver.
Gallstone issues may be treated with milk thistle, tumeric,
peppermint and Vitamin C. Aortic elasticity may be enhanced
by the use of garlic. Arrhythmias may be helped with the use
of Coenzyme Q 10.
Vitamins and herbs should be taken with the
concurrence of your medical provider, nutritionist
or diet professional.
This is yet another of those encyclopedia-type listings that leave you wondering what item to shortlist and where and how to actually start applying the information.
This book has the usual fatal flaw: it doesn't really seem to have an integrating philosophy or central principle by which I could work out where to start and how to take further steps. It is a sort of dictionary. It offers a list of over 100 "therapies" - mainly herbs, vitamins, minerals, fats, homeopathic remedies - and tells you what they can fix. At the end is a list of symptoms with a shortlist of possibly useful remedies. You might try any one of them, or combine several but it's basically guesswork. Not only that, but the ones I have tried that are covered here (a surprising number) have not helped me.
Too many books on nutrition and nutritional supplements are like this - homeopathy and herbs too. They lack any focus on causation, there is no consideration of a unifying thread or starting point which, when addressed, could clear a number of seemingly different symptoms. (Homeopathy claims to do this but why, for example, is ignatia overwhelmingly given for just one symptom - grief?)
Those who have studied Chinese Traditional Medicine (CTM) understand my point. CTM looks for, and addresses, a root cause for all the symptoms presented by a specific person. Too many health books, just like the conventional medical system, see patients as a collection of parts, or of diagnoses, each separate item to be fixed by a different specialist or herb or nutritional supplement (or combinations), for example.
I would like to see more health books "boiling down" to main, or "umbrella", causes and issues.
