As we have noted for years, an old natural remedy called GHB (Gamma Hydroxy Butyrate) was very safe and effective for sleep and wonderful for fibromyalgia. It increased stage 4 deep sleep and growth hormone release better than any prescription and was cheap, safe, and natural. Anyone could get it easily. So of course the government made it illegal.

This report concludes that "widespread gestational (during pregnancy) and/or early childhood vitamin D deficiency may explain both the genetics and epidemiology of autism. If so, much of the disease is iatrogenic (medically caused), brought on by medical advice to avoid the sun." This is simply one of many contributing factors for autism, but again supports the need for nutritional support (under the guidance of a Holistic practitioner) for these children. The DAN ("Defeat Autism Now!") organization has many practitioners among its members.

Outstanding Herbal Pain Relief

Many natural therapies can be very helpful for pain. My three favorite pain relieving herbals are willow bark, Boswellia, and cherry. All three of these can be found in combination in an herbal supplement that provides relief for pain (with boswellia and white willow bark; or Curcumin, boswellia, nattokinase, and DLPA). For fibromyalgia or arthritis pain, take the maximum dose until maximum benefit is achieved (about 4-6 weeks) and then one can use the lowest effective dose.

It was another bad week for standard medicine. Two main therapies for heart disease protection — cholesterol-lowering statins and blood-thinning aspirin — were found to cause more harm than good — except in those who already have angina or a personal (not family) history of strokes or heart attacks.

This recent review discusses the recent discovery—from a meta-analysis of 18 placebo controlled trials—that taking vitamin D helps people to live longer. This is not surprising as vitamin D is involved in over 200 functions in your body, and deficiency is often the rule rather than the exception. It also talks about how vitamin D produces cathelicidin, a naturally occurring broad-spectrum antibiotic which can help your body fight infections. When trees, plants and molds get an infection, they often make natural antibiotics. Maybe we can also make our own natural antibiotics and antivirals!

Clinical experience as well as research in nerve pain conditions such as pancreatic cancer have shown that magnesium can be an effective therapy. Although it is clear why magnesium can decrease muscle pain (it makes muscles relax) why it would help nerve pain was less clear. This study in rats confirms our clinical experience that magnesium decreases nerve pain — while also pointing to how it settles the pain.
