Prevents Infection
Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant that will help your body fight or prevent infection.

Put vitamin E on a cut or scrape before bandaging and it will prevent infection and minimize the chance of scarring.

Treating Irritable Bowel Syndrome Naturally
Heal This Digestive Disorder With Alternative Treatments
It is estimated that 15% of the population suffer from irritable bowel syndrome. Symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome include painful abdominal cramping, bloating, constipation and/or diarrhea. If you or someone you know suffers from this painful condition, take a look into these natural remedies to get irritable bowel syndrome under control.
Antidepressants: Cause, Not Cure
Though some people with irritable bowel syndrome are prescribed antidepressants for their condition, an antidepressant may actually be contributing to the problem. Some antidepressants can disrupt natural intestinal flora, creating a deficiency in healthy bacteria. This can cause problems in digestion, which could lead to irritable bowel syndrome. Talk to your doctor about other options for treatment of depression or visit a naturopath for natural treatments.
Hidden Food Allergies
Irritable bowel syndrome could be caused or made worse by hidden food intolerances or allergies. To rule out offending foods, it is best to do an elimination diet. The most common food allergens are wheat, gluten, dairy, corn, nuts, eggs and citrus fruits. Remove these from your diet for at least two weeks and then reintroduce them one at a time, taking care to keep a food diary to note how each food makes you feel. This alone may completely alleviate your irritable bowel syndrome.
The Secret To Lowering Cholesterol Naturally
Lower Your Cholesterol Without Dangerous Drugs
It is estimated that over 12 million Americans are on statin drugs for high cholesterol. Recently, statin drugs have come under fire for their dangerous side effects including, but not limited to, muscle pain, liver abnormalities, erectile dysfunction, irritability and hostility, insomnia and kidney failure. Thankfully, there are natural ways to lower cholesterol without dangerous drugs.
Make Changes To Your Diet
The most important factor in lowering cholesterol naturally is diet. It is important to increase your intake of foods rich in dietary fiber such as fruits (blueberries are reported to have a positive effect on lowering cholesterol), vegetables, beans and whole grains. Reduce your intake of dairy and red meat and processed foods. Whole foods are best for the body and help to lower cholesterol naturally without dangerous drugs. Wild caught oily fish such as salmon and mackerel are rich in Omega 3s, which have been reported to lower cholesterol naturally. Start adding garlic to your diet. Studies show that garlic is an effective natural remedy for lowering cholesterol. Garlic worked best when eaten in its raw, uncooked form. If you want to add it to a cooked dish such as a stir-fry, add it at the very end for the best benefits.
Discover The Hidden Connection Between Gluten Intolerance & Your Mental Health
Learn How This Common Food Intolerance May Be Literally Driving You Crazy
If you have hidden gluten intolerance, it may affect more than just your physical health. If you or someone you know is suffering from a mental illness, hidden gluten intolerance may be to blame. Learn what common mental illnesses can be traced back to gluten intolerance.
Behavioral Problems In Children
If your child exhibits behavioral problems such as aggression, inattentiveness, confusion, anxiety, fearfulness and/or learning disabilities, he or she may have gluten intolerance. If your son or daughter has been diagnosed with ADHD, autism or Aspergers syndrome, his or her symptoms may improve dramatically if gluten, dairy and casein are removed from the diet.

Depression
The cause of depression is often thought to be a chemical imbalance. While this is possible, those suffering from depression could greatly benefit from looking into their diet for the possible cause. The symptoms of depression could actually be caused by hidden gluten intolerance. In a person intolerant to gluten, the body attacks its own tissues causing inflammation. This inflammation can cause a host of mental health problems, including depression.
