My Slogan for this page is: HHH Holistic Health and Healing
Introduction Q: What does "holistic health and healing" mean? A: Well, holisitic means "wholly", i.e., body, mind & Chi {or Qi in Chinese; (Qi is pronounced like this: /chee/)} So, holistic health means: health of the physical, the mental & the qi. Holisitic healing means treating the body, the mind and the qi. Q: What is Chi? Is it real? A: Well, qi is the Chinese word for our life force, the mystical energy flowing through, and emanating from our bodies. Many think it is all hocus pocus, but they do not have any concept of physics (obviously), because in basic physics 101, you learn that everything in the known universe has dual properties: particle property & wave property. That means that all matter has a wave (energy-like) quality, AND all energy has a particle (matter-like) quality. Furthermore, Einstein proved that matter can be changed (and verily does change) into energy by the equation: E-mc2. So, if someone tells you that qi is nonsense, then you can know that that person doesn't know anything about physics. Qi is as real as our body is.
Cure for Multiple Sclerosis by Leon (February 24, 2008) What is Multiple Sclerosis? It is a disease where the white blood cells go crazy and start attacking the body's own nervous tissue. What causes Multiple Sclerosis? Well any disease is caused by one of three things:
1. bad genes My sister has M.S. There is absolutely NO genetic link. No one else in the history of our family, and no one else in our living family (even distant relatives) has ever had M.S. So, we can pretty much rule out genes, (although it is a possibility that my sister's genes have mutated). Poison is always a possibility. BUT, I believe that it is a virus that causes M.S., And I have evidence. When I learned that my sister had been diagnosed with M.S., I immediately began to do research on the disease, for I knew nothing about it. Being a Life Science teacher, I know something of biology; and more especially, I know the human body. White Blood Cells (WBCs) won't attack it's host body unless one thing happens. But, I didn't think of that right away. Let me show you how I found the cure for Multiple Sclerosis (M.S.). 1. I discovered that WBCs attack body's own nerves. (It is called an "autoimmune disease). 2. I remembered that my sister had had another WBC disease when she was in high school, namely Mononucleosis. 3. I discovered that Mononucleosis is caused by the Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV). 4. I studied about the EBV. I learned that it never really gets entirely killed. It hides in the WBC's to resurface later in life, and there are other autoimmune diseases linked to the EBV. 5. Being a Life Scientist, I know that viruses reproduce by stealing the DNA from animal cells. I thought that maybe the Epstein-Barr Virus just steals a tiny amount of DNA, making the WBCs go haywire. I wondered if anyone else on this planet had similar ideas. 6. I did a Google search for EBV and MS. 7. I discovered a VERY STRONG link between the two. I learned that people who have the highest levels of antibodies for EBV were 30 times more likely to have M.S. That's not twice as likely! That's not three times as likely! That's not even ten times as likely! THAT'S 30x MORE LIKELY TO DEVELOP M.S.!!!! In Scientific terms, that is VERY significant! Source 8. I found that multiple sources actually supported such a link between EBV & M.S. Some of them are (besides the one above): 9. Then, I became convinced that my sister's M.S. was caused by the EBV. 10. After determining the cause of M.S. (at least in my sister), I felt we could begin to cure M.S. by ridding the body of the EBV. But, how? 11. I propose that if M.S. is caused by the EBV, (and I believe it is), then to cure M.S., we need to find a vaccine for the EBV. It is as simple as that. 12. In my research, I came across a possible cure for EBV other than a vaccine. It's a bone marrow transplant. And I quote from Wikipedia: "The site of persistence of EBV may be bone marrow. EBV-positive patients who have had their own bone marrow replaced with bone marrow from an EBV-negative donor are found to be EBV-negative after transplantation." (Wikipedia's article on Epstein-Barr Virus).
"Chronic Sinusitis (Allergies) Relieved by Antifungal"
--------------My comments on the above article-------------- Yo! I've been saying this for years! Anyone who knows me well enough, knows that I suffer from allergens in the air, especially in the South Korean Autumn (while I was living there), and slightly in the South Korean Spring. I concluded (by myself) that it must be due to fungal spores in the air. How did I come to this conclusion, you ask? Well, I'll tell ya. You see, South Korean summers are extremely humid. Plus, summer is the monsoon (rainy season) in South Korea. The copious amount of humidity, coupled with the warm weather, creates a prime enviroment for mold (and other fungi). But, why don't people (like I) get allergies in the Summer??? Good question. I'm glad you asked me that. Hold your horses... I'm getting to that part. If you know anything about mold, you know that it reproduces when it dries and dies, shooting thousands, maybe millions, of little spores into the air. During the Summer months, none of the mold dries or dies. Therefore, it doesn't send any spores into the air. In the Fall, the weather cools and the humidity goes away. Mold spores are ubiquitous in the South Korean air during the Fall. I could smell them. And of course, I would get violent sneezes, sinusitis, rhinitis, red, itchy eyes, and produce tons of clear mucus from my nose. I didn't need any research like the one above to tell what was causing my allergies. All it took was a little common knowelege and a little common sense (i.e., putting two and two together). I'm glad the researchers have finally caught on to this problem and have a way to solve it. I found that acupuncture was quite helpful during the Fall, but an antifungal, nasal spray sounds really nice. The problem is, I'm not a doctor, so I cannot prescribe medicine for myself. I generally know what is causing pain and suffering in my body. I do not know which medicine to take for it. I couldn't stand the antihistimines, because they made me sleepy. That coupled with my iron-deficiency anemia just rendered me too sleepy to do anything productive.

An example of how mental health affects physical health... From an article on... http://www.webmd.com/ "Our results provide evidence that depression is an important and independent risk factor for troublesome pain," Carroll and colleagues write in the January 2004 issue of the journal Pain. "Those with both back pain and depression use twice the sick days and incur twice the health care costs as those with either problem separately."
