Chloe Adisson answers:

Nancy asks…

Is Lily of the Desert ?

I know it’s a dietary supplument and all..
But it’s 99.5% aloe vera..
Anybody know if this will help acne or make it worse?

Chloe Adisson answers:

Most of the commercial Aloe Vera products are so diluted that they are of little use to the body. Acne is primarily due to dysbiosis of the intestines and that is due to bad digestion that is rampant in the U.S. Today. The skin acts like a 3rd kidney and when you get lots of toxins building up in the intestines, you get the booby prize. It typically starts from your mom being very nutrient deficient in pregnancy and overloaded with toxins like mercury from her amalgam fillings that she passes onto the fetus through her umbilical cord to you and you end up toxic as a result and nutritionally deficient. If she doesn’t breast feed, you don’t get good immunity and then you get the VACCINATIONS that pollute your blood to the point where you simply don’t have a chance to build good immunity.

Now, you take an antibiotic to “kill the germs” (thank you doctor) and this kills the good bacteria in your intestines that make up 75% of your immune system you have already not developed well. You get the booby prize of getting ACNE. Then biofilms are produced that keep you from really getting rid of the acne and you use those typical topical creams and lotions that help control it somewhat, but they just keep coming back.

Acne is just one of many things the average American will suffer from as they age due to the garbage food being eaten and the bad advice from the so called “experts” that have no clue what they are talking about. Meanwhile, you suffer, believing those guys know what they are talking about.

The highest quality Aloe Vera product you can buy is called, “Aloe Arborescense.” This product is concentrated and contains other things that will clean up ALL the mucus membranes in the body like nothing else. It really works. But you also need to fix your diet, take the Aloe, and go after those biofilms with some very special herbs.

Good luck to you

John asks…

Does using Aloe Vera Gel help acne?

I am using Hawaiian Tropic Aloe Vera gel for acne on my face. What do you think?

Chloe Adisson answers:

Aloe Vera Gel has been used for centuries both the skin and other ailments.

Aloe Vera consists of ingredients such as gibbenelin and polysaccharides, that stimulate the skin and help with healing acne affected areas.

There are Acne-Aloe-Vera solutions that can help with healing and further prevention of skin problems affecting both adults and teens. Aloe Vera treatments may be used topically to restore skin that has become inflammed and have been proven to help those afflicated with skin problems improve their condition and promote healing of scar tissue formed by excessive swelling. Scar tissue left on the face or upper body can be improved by use of Aloe Vera gel.

Michael asks…

What kind of aloe vera do i use to treat acne scars?

After reading around for a while, i’ve learned that aloe vera is helpful for treating scars, and that vaseline is the worst possible thing you could do to treat acne scars. I dug around my house and found some Vaseline Aloe Vera lotion. Is it okay to use it?

Chloe Adisson answers:

Most probably your “some Vaseline Aloe Vera lotion” has not enough aloe vera in. Try to find certified producer of aloe vera with International Aloe Science Council quality and purity seal on it. You can find them on official web page of IASC,org. My favorite producer is FLP. It is largest producer of aloe vera on the world. My son was using with success their products for his acne. They have special creams, lotions, emulsions, serums and liquids which are highly concentrated with pure aloe vera.Very popular creams and lotions for acne are these products: Aloe Activator ( 99% aloe vera and cost only 11 bucks), Aloe First, Aloe Exfoliating Cleaner, Aloe Vera Gelly (highest concentration of stabilized aloe vera on market today cost only $11) and Aloe Propolis Creme. You can buy them directly from producer online.

The Health Benefits of Tea Tree Oil

Share

The aborigines of Australia were the first to discover the many of tea tree. This plant is native to it and used to grow wild. Now it is grown commercially because of its popularity in alternative medicine. Unlike other plants, its discovery can be considered new.

Tea tree is a very powerful anti viral and anti bacterial. According to many stories, during the Second World War, soldiers carry with them a bottle of this plant. They use it as a first aid for almost all types of wounds. They say that it can prevent infection usually associated with wounds. The aborigines used it also for the same purpose. In fact majority of the household in Australia has in their medicinal cabinet a bottle or two of this plant.

Tea tree is reputed to be a good balsamic for the body. As such it can aid the body in its absorption of the vitamins and minerals it needs. Being balsamic, it also help in the prevention of diseases from the attacking the body. It keeps it healthy and at the same time free from sickness.

The most common problem of children is the hair lice. Tea tree can help treat this predicament. It does not only kill the virus on contact but it helps in prevention of further attack from them in the future. No wonder many shampoos have as one of their components the tea tree. Being toxic to viruses and bacteria care must be at all times exercise when using it. Like almost all the essential oils, it is for external use only and must never be taken orally without medical guidance.

When used in aromatherapy, tea tree oil is believed to have calming and soothing effects on the mind and the spirit. The many things that make the mind worry about are said to temporarily forgotten to have a total and complete relation. A few drops of it and mixed with a base massage oil can ease muscle and joint pains. Its analgesic properties help contract the muscle and ease joint pains as well.

Aloe Vera Juice Benefits Questions Answered

Share

David asks…

Aloe Vera Juice Benefit? What are the of Drinking Aloe Vera Juice?

I would like to know for sure what are the benefits for drinking aloe vera juice. I need solid comments and no BS, please. I found a website that gave me lots of information at http://squidoo.com/aloe-vera-juice-benefit
but want to hear what others have to say. thanks in advance.

Chloe Adisson answers:

The website you mentioned is an awesome site. I can’t think of any more information that you might need.

My own personal experiences with aloe vera juice has been great. It has cleared up my IBS symptoms, helped me to lose weight and has healed my stomach ulcers.

Store bought aloe juice is not as potent as making your own, so I would suggest to review the site you mentioned a learn how to juice the plant yourself.

Another good site is http://www.aloeandyou.com

Here are just a few more tips that you might like:

Here is a list of the top ten benefits of drinking aloe vera juice:

1. Detox

With our stressful lives, the pollution around us and the junk foods we eat, we need to detox and cleanse our systems. Drinking aloe vera juice provides a rich cocktail of vitamins, minerals and trace elements to help our bodies deal with everyday stresses.

2. Immune Support

Aloe vera is full of anti-oxidants – natural immune enhancers which fight free radicals within our body. Free radicals are thought to cause various ailments, as well as speeding up the ageing process. Drinking aloe vera juice regularly gives the body a continual supply of anti-oxidants, which may boost and enhance the immune system.

3. Healthy Digestion and Digestive Problems

A healthy digestive tract ensures that nutrients from the foods we eat are absorbed fully into our bloodstream. Aloe vera juice has natural detoxifying abilities. Drinking aloe vera juice seems to improve bowel regularity and increases protein absorption, while at the same time decrease unfriendly bacteria and yeast – all naturally. Aloe vera has shown it can help reduce and soothe heartburn and other digestive upsets.

4. Reduces Inflammation

Aloe vera juice contains 12 substances which can slow down or inhibit inflammation, without any side-effects. Some people say that drinking aloe vera juice helps with their stiff, swollen or painful joints.

5. Regulates Weight and Energy Levels

Aloe vera juice naturally allows the body to cleanse the digestive system. Our diets include many substances which can cause lethargy and exhaustion. Taken regularly, aloe vera juice ensures a greater feeling of well-being, allowing energy levels to increase and helps maintain a healthy body weight.

6. Daily Dose of Vitamins & Minerals

Aloe vera juice contains vitamins A, B1, B2, B6, B12 (the aloe vera plant is one of the few plants in the world to contain vitamin B12), C, E, Folic Acid and Niacin. The human body cannot store some of these vitamins, so we need to supplement them regularly through our diet. The minerals found in aloe vera include Calcium, Sodium, Iron, Potassium, Manganese, Copper, Zinc, Magnesium, Chromium.

7. Collagen and Elastin Repair for Healthy Skin

Drinking aloe vera juice adds a rich supply of raw materials to your diet, which can produce and maintain really healthy skin. The skin replaces itself every 28 days. Using the nutritional building blocks of aloe vera, the skin can use these nutrients daily to help combat the effects of ageing. Aloe vera also helps in soothing burns, cuts, scrapes and skin irritations.

8. Amino Acids

The human body requires 20 amino acids to build protein; 8 of these amino acids are ‘essential’ which means the body can’t make them itself. Aloe vera contains 19 of these amino acids, and 7 of the essential amino acids. So drinking aloe vera juice tops up your body’s daily supply.

9. Dental Health and Hygiene

Aloe vera is extremely helpful for your mouth and gums. As well as its natural anti-bacterial and anti-microbial actions, it contains vitamins and minerals which promote cell growth and healing. There are some toothgels available which contain a high level of pure aloe vera, which may help with bleeding gums and mouth ulcers.

10. Better than Supplements

Recent research has shown that adding good foods to our diets, with naturally occurring vitamins and minerals, is far better than adding supplements alone. The good news is that Aloe Vera juice is considered a food, rather than a manufactured supplement, so our bodies can absorb all the nutrients more easily, and utilize them more effectively.

The have long been known. It has been used historically as a soothing balm, applied externally for cuts, scrapes and burns. Modern uses of aloe vera are extensive.

The health benefits of aloe vera taken internally include: improved circulation, regulation of blood pressure, promotes healing of bones and joints, strengthens the immune system, defends the body against bacteria, heals internal tissue damage, heals ulcers, improves and even eliminates constipation, blood sugar regulation, and reduces itchiness in psoriasis helping it to heal.

Drinking two to four ounces a day is all that is required to gain the many benefits of aloe vera juice. If you drink it daily, aloe vera can aid your digestion, improve your circulation and det

Herbal Treatment For Adhd Questions Answered

Share

Jenny asks…

ADHD diagnosis?

My son has recently been diagnosed with ADHD. He was prescribed Ritalin at the drop of a hat, but after reading about the medication, and seeing the look of horror on people’s faces when I told them, I have decided he wont take it. I have ordered something called Synaptol, which is some herbal for ADHD, it sounds good, but I have no idea. My son is also going to visit a complementary centre tomorrow, but I just wondered if anyone has any views or can recommend anything I can try. I dont want to go down the Ritalin road, it sounds like a really gruesome drug.

Chloe Adisson answers:

Very long answer.. And I promise it is not a cut and paste quickie.. (I hate those)

First of all… Awesome :) good for you!
Finally a parent on this planet with some common sense.
Drugs are drugs and more parents should be encouraging their kids to stay away from them..
I am certainly not a doctor, but I can’t understand the logic of giving a brain stimulant to a person with hyperactivity issues.
A child has a brain that is naturally growing and developing.. Adding a bunch of synthetic chemcals seems to only complicate matters. The behavior may change for the better.. But does the improvement justify the potential damage? Personally, I don’t think it does. I am sure there are a small percentage of kids out there that need some kind of drastic treatment… Little things like not cleaning up your room when asked to, or not doing well on schoolwork should not be interpretated as an indicaton that medical treatment options are mandatory and risky steps should be taken immediately.
Most behavioral issues fall under the responsibility of the parent or teacher, but it seems that psychiatrists are far too willing to offer everyone the easy way out of this responsibility by dropping a label on these kids and drugging them up so they will conform. And that is just sick.
I was doing some research for my sister and found another option for online while I was looking through alternative medicines for my nephew last year.. It is probably very similar to what you have found.

Http://www.vaxa.com/ADD_alternative_treatment_remedy.cfm

He is 13 now.. Seems to be doing better. A lot of his issues are stress related.. His father has been in the service and away from home for the last 3 years.. It is rough on him. He also has some kind of odd dietary abnormality.. Naturally sensitive to certain foods. He is a very healthy kid with a great personality :)

I will also throw you a link to read up on some of the prescriptions that are being offered to children for a variety of afflictions. It is somewhat jaded and loaded with propaganda from the opposite perspective of the drug manufacturers. Really is a fascinating debate. And the questions left unanswered is the reason I am so against the idea that medication is solution.

Http://www.whale.to/drugs/whitaker.html

The reality is that nothing can be done to cure the problem until the true cause for the problem can be determined. And right now everybody is guessing.. The drug companines are rushing to convince the public that they have the answer to it without a shred of conclusive evidence as proof of their statements. The FDA that approves the medications is majorly sponsored by the drug companies for their funding. (blatent conflict of interest). The psychaitrists are stuck in a position where if they don’t prescribe something, they are taking the risk that the parents will lose confidence in that entire section of the medical field. Everyone involved with the debate is horribly tainted by money.. And the kids are typically left with the negative consequences for the decisions made by the adults with the moral obligation to protect them. Alternative medicine may or may not be as effective.. But at least it is . That makes more sense to me as a first option.
I encourage you to get a couple opinions before you choose any course of action for your child.. The treatment options out there right now are very shady for these types of things. Not enough is known about it.
Research all you can on it.. There is a lot of good information out there from the perspective of the parents that are in a similar situation. Both sides of the debate have valid points.

A lot of it is a shift in society .. 20 years ago, the general perception would have been.. ‘ahh.. It’s ok.. He’s just a kid being a kid’ .. And today it is more like ‘wow.. Your kid is a spoiled brat.. You should really do something about it’
Same child.. Different decade.
Experimental drugs may always be an option, but try everything else first.. If an adult wants to be irresponsible and ruin their lives by being a drug addict.. So be it.. I am also a parent.. And my daughter would have to be VERY out of control for me to even consider it. Dangerous and destructive, yes.. I would consider it.. Anything less, no way.

In the interest of fairness, I will also give you the medical side of things and leave you to make your own informed decision..

Http://www.nimh.nih.gov/healthinformation/adhdmenu.cfm

This website will give you the clinical perspective on the affliction .. And symptom/treatment/prognosis information

http://www.drugs.com/condition/attention-deficit-disorder.html

This website will give you all of the prescription information for every drug that is FDA approved to treat ADD/ADHD.

Yes, there are a lot of things that anybody can say against what I have written.. But, you don’t have to be a doctor to understand that when the negative side effects of a drug show a 400-600% increased chance of occurence over placebo, you are taking an unnecessary risk. When that statistic comes down to reasonable levels and can be independently proven.. My opinion will change dramatically.

Mary asks…

what is the best known nonmedicinal treatment for ADHD?

herbal or nonherbal treatments for ADHD

Chloe Adisson answers:

A great deal of benefit is gained by removing all additives and preservatives from the diet.

There have been studies done to show that 80% of children with ADHD make huge improvements just by changing diet.

It means cutting out all fizzy drinks, all colourants (they are in many foods and drinks) , especially sunshine yellow. All additives.

Just use natural fresh foods, meat, fish, fruit and vegetables.

Laura asks…

What is the best alternative treatment for ADHD?

Herbal only. Liver, gal bladder cleanse. No drugs. Specific products please. Hoping to shorten my research a little.
Stop arguing that cleanses are bad. They are great if you know what you are doing. The right ones do work, unlike drugs that cure symptoms only. Cure your illness, not hide it.
Yes there is such a thing. I agree that usually it is bad parenting, in which this is somewhat. As a Foster parent I know your feeling all too well
True ADHD is usually caused by the mother eating and drinking too much sugar and caffeine. Stop drink mountain dew and whatever while pregnant. Stop smoking/drinking, dying hair. Sacrifice a little for your baby.

Chloe Adisson answers:

There have actually been a lot of studies that have shown that Fish Oil can help with ADD/ADHD. It seems too simple, and that may be one reason it wasn’t really looked at closely for this, but I wasn’t surprised it would help when I thought about it. The EPA and DHA in Fish Oil help with all sorts of things including heart health, skin health, and brain health. There was a good article at http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-391503/Fish-oil-calms-children-better-Ritalin.html that covers some of this as well.
Give it a try… It’s economical, safe, and easy. Just make sure that the company you get it from uses Molecular Distillation because that’s currently the only safe way to remove any trace contaminants of any heavy metals. Of course, if you aren’t sure about the dosage or the , you may want to consult with a holistic doctor, as they may have other additional options available to them.

There are also a lot of people who have found some relief from limiting sugar, artificial colors/flavorings, and going with less (or no) processed food to take away those possible causes as well. From research I’ve done, Fish Oil tends to help more, but both work even better together. Good luck and I hope I helped!

Donald asks…

ADHD herb called “alphanie” (sp?)?

I heard a doctor on TV talking about an herbal treatment for ADD/ADHD. He pronounced it “alphanie” but I don’t know the proper spelling, so I can’t look up any information about it. Has anyone heard of this treatment? Do you know how it is properly spelled? Thanks!

Chloe Adisson answers:

Not sure, but I’ve found this:

“Herbs and Supplements. A number of parents resort to alternative remedies as an alternative to psychostimulants and other drugs. These products include- as St. John? ‘ s wort, ginkgo biloba, panax ginseng, melatonin, and pine bark extract. Based on existing evidence, however, none can be recommended, particularly for children.

Generally, manufacturers of herbal remedies and dietary supplements do not need FDA approval to sell their products. Just like a drug, herbs and supplements can affect the body’s chemistry, and therefore have the potential to produce side effects that may be harmful. There have been a number of reported cases of serious and even lethal side effects from herbal products. Always check with your doctor before using any herbal remedies or dietary supplements.”

There’s lots of sites on the net selling invented ‘cures’ to concerned parents. These are nothing more than modern snake oil, so be careful.

Daniel asks…

A miracle treatment?

My 5 yo son has been diagnosed with ADHD-combined type and ODD recently. Its been recommended to us to put him on medication. I have been doing some reading on the different types of available medications and I have to say, they ALL scare me! The side effects are atrocious with some of these medications. So, I have done some searching and came accross a herbal treatment called “Focus ADHD“. What caught my eye is the tons of testimonials on the site for this drug, and some of them (the testimonials) brought me to tears. Has anyone tried this herbal supplement/treatment? If so, did it work well? Did it have any side effects? Also, has anyone had TRUE success with any of the traditional meds prescribed for ADHD (such as Ritalin, Strattera, etc.)? Any advice or help is greatly appreciated, Thanks!
Some more info–This product comes with a “dietary strategy” for parents, and tons of parental advice. In addition to taking the supplement, it says to make the following diet changes-eliminate refined sugars, soft drinks, artificial preservatives, artificial colors and “bad fats” (like trans-fat). It also recommends plenty of exercise and claims to be 100% natural, and completely not addictive, its safe enough to take forever if need be. I also have made a doctor’s appointment for Monday morning to discuss this product. Judging by the great answers I have gotton so far, this supplement is definitely worth a try. Thank you so much!

Chloe Adisson answers:

Yes, diet is really important. Also, less time in front of the tv, computer, playing games etc.
Although it is disputed by some people now, I still believe white sugar, especially at the rate north americans consume it, is not a healthy thing. Many people are also reactive to food dyes, artificial chemicals, preservatives etc.
I’m so glad to hear you are not going the pharmaceutical route.
Please watch the eye opening video below, you may want to send it to your friends. As well as school officials, who have no business in making a medical diagnosis.
But to actually answer your question, I am not familiar with Focus ADHD.
