Inositol Deficiency: Natural Treatment for Hair Loss, Gallbladder Dysfunction, and Fatty Liver Disease

Selenium Therapy as a Natural Treatment for Cystic Fibrosis, Gallbladder Cancer, and Gallbladder Polyps

What is selenium deficiency and how does it affect health? Selenium is an incredibly important mineral for human health, but unfortunately, selenium deficiency is often overlooked due to the mineral’s status as a trace mineral (one that’s not needed in larger quantities to maintain health). But minerals, even in tiny quantities, have a significant effect on our health, and selenium is by no means an exception. Joel D. Wallach, the author of “Rare Earths, Forbidden Cures” and other books about minerals (including numerous trace minerals) and orthomolecular medicine, was one of the first scientists to discover cystic fibrosis in monkeys. He also was the first to link selenium deficiency to the development of cystic fibrosis, and then to develop a cure for cystic fibrosis in humans using ort...

Vitamin K2+D3: An At-Home, Orthomolecular Treatment for Gallstones and Porcelain Gallbladder

Fresh milk from grass-fed cows contains vitamin K2. Most store bought milks, unless otherwise specified (some health stores might carry grass-fed milks), do not contain tangible amounts of vitamin K2. Milk and meat from other grass-fed animals (goats, sheep, etc.) also contain vitamin K2. How Vitamins Can Get Rid of Gallbladder Calcifications Unfortunately, many people with gallstones or gallbladder problems often find themselves eating little to no fat of any kind since eating fatty meals frequently will lead to digestive discomfort. However, though not eating much fat may avoid exacerbating some gallbladder-related symptoms, the reality is that the gallbladder, and the rest of your body, needs fat. Specifically, the body thrives on healthy fats (in terms of healthy, fatty foods, think...

PUVA Therapy for Hair Loss: Safe or Not?

Psoralea corylifolia is a natural source of NATURAL psoralen that can be used to treat hair loss at home in combination with 15 minutes daily of sunlight exposure (sans the sunscreen). PUVA Hair Loss Treatment in Conventional Medicine: A Critical Discussion Doctors have recently begun using a combination of psoralen and ultraviolet-A light exposure to treat hair loss. This phototherapy treatment, PUVA, is a conventional medicine therapy that has been used on psoriasis patients for quite some time, despite the fact that there are natural cures for psoriasis that offer a very high success rate. But when we stumbled across the scientific literature on the use of PUVA for hair loss in conventional medicine and its effectiveness in some cases of alopecia, we were excited about it, because it...

Why am I losing so much hair? Iodine Therapy, Cysteine, and Vitamin B12 Hair Loss Remedies

Big Pharma-sponsored content adamantly claims that there is no relationship between Iodine Deficiency and hair loss. I suppose that's because Big Pharma makes a lot of money off hair loss drugs that don't work to regrow hair, but also that make people with hair loss sicker. I've worked with clients in the past who took prescription and over-the-counter hair loss drugs only to later develop serious problems like neuropathy or pudendal neuralgia. If you're looking for a natural hair loss remedy, Iodine Therapy with vitamin B12 and Cysteine are an excellent place to start! Hair Loss Vitamin Deficiency and Mineral Deficiency Treatments That Also Restore General Health Most people who live in developed countries such as the United States are deficient in Iodine. Unless you specifically take...

How to Improve Libido by Restoring Gallbladder Health

The relationship between liver and gallbladder health and libido / reproductive system health may surprise you. The Surprising Connection Between Hypothyroidism, High Estrogen Levels, and Major Digestive Issues According to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), erectile dysfunction and libido issues can be rooted in liver and gallbladder issues. Though the theory behind how the gallbladder and the liver affect libido is a bit obscure and complex for those who are most familiar with conventional medicine, it’s still relevant to note the connection between reproductive system health and the liver and gallbladder because few people know about the role that these organs play in reproductive hormone production. In this section we discuss how the liver and gallbladder as well as the thyroid gla...

Castor Oil Packs: An Oil-Based Herbal Remedy for Infertility, Reproductive Organ Issues, Gallbladder Problems, and Thyroid Disease

How to Use a Castor Oil Pack and Castor Oil Cupping to Overcome Disease and Chronic Pain Castor oil is derived from the Ricinus communis plant. The use of castor oil packs is an important treatment that people can use to heal from a variety of diseases particularly those that involve the gallbladder, thyroid gland, and reproductive organs including the breasts. Castor oil also can be used to hasten healing following burns and injuries.  When you use a castor oil pack, you’re administering a powerful and broad-spectrum medicine through the skin. Castor oil easily sinks into the core of your abdomen when applied to the skin. And then it goes to work coordinating not just the movement and synchrony of muscles in the uterus, intestines, and gallbladder, but it also coordinates hormo...

The Gallbladder and the Liver: How Different Systems of Medicine View These Organs and Their Disorders

The Basics of the Gallbladder in Conventional Western Medicine The gallbladder is a small, pear-shaped organ located in the upper right part of the abdomen. It sits just below the liver to the right of the stomach. The primary function of the gallbladder is to store bile that has been produced by the liver, and then release this bile into the duodenum, the first part of the small intestine. The bile that the gallbladder releases is absolutely essential for digestion as a whole, but is specifically important for the digestion of fats and oils (and thus for the absorption of all the nutrients that go along with them, such as the fat-soluble vitamins and fatty acids). In order for the body to produce this essential bile, it must have access to the main constituents that make up bile, which i...

Alpha Lipoic Acid: A Treatment for Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease and Cholesterol Gallstones

Can alpha lipoic acid treat fatty liver disease and cholesterol gallstones? Alpha lipoic acid (ALA) is an antioxidant compound found in every cell in the body. It is an essential part of cellular respiration (turning glucose into energy) and may be able to not only attack free radicals, but may also be able to “reactivate” antioxidants that have already expended their resources targeting harmful ROS. Unlike some other compounds that are ONLY fat or water soluble, alpha lipoic acid is BOTH fat-soluble and water-soluble, meaning that it can function as an antioxidant throughout the entire body without being limited to only watery or fatty areas. In addition, alpha lipoic has a special ability to be able to pass into the brain, so it can help target toxic free radicals in the brain as well (...

How to Take Lecithin / Phosphatidylcholine to Treat Gallbladder Disease At Home

Lecithin is an excellent part of any gallbladder recovery supplementation protocol. Lecithin and/or phophatidylcholine are both extremely important nutrients to consider for gallbladder health and healing. The primary focuse of this article will be on phosphatidylcholine, but I’ll discuss lecithin from time to time since lecithin contains high levels of phosphatidylcholine.  What is phosphatidylcholine (PC)?  Phosphatidylcholine is a phospholipid that contains choline as its headgroup (in contrast with other phospholipids, like phosphatidylserine, that contain the amino acid serine as a headgroup). It is found in dietary sources like egg yolks, soybeans, fish, and some meats, and may also be taken as a supplement or administered via IV for the treatment of disease. Phosphatidylcholin...

Some people may not have any symptoms at all, while other people’s symptoms are more severe.

Chlorine Dioxide Solution (CDS) / Miracle Mineral Solution (MMS) for Gallstones and Gallbladder Health

Reactive Oxygen Species Medicines like Chlorine Dioxide Solution / Miracle Mineral Solution and Gallbladder Health A full discussion of the gallbladder would not be complete without talking about Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) medicines that can be used to get rid of bacteria that have quietly colonized the gallbladder. When the gallbladder or the liver is colonized by bacteria, a number of health problems can result from digestive upsets and vitamin and mineral deficiencies that take shape because the body isn’t able to properly digest food.  There are a number of ROS medicines that patients use to cure diseases at home. Chlorine Dioxide Solution (CDS) / Miracle Mineral Solution (MMS) is the most convenient medicine and also one of the safest and most powerful, but below is a list of o...
