B Natural Is Expanding

Dr. Amy — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 14:59:19 +0000

Just a quick note to let everyone that reads this blog that B Natural is growing and we need more space. Our lease will be up in June of 2011 and we have been searching for a space close to the area we have in Eau Claire, WI.
We have been negotiating with King’s Plaza on London Road. If the contract is signed we will move in the spring of 2011.
There will be information posted here, at my facebook page, and in the store.
Look for lots of sales. It is easier to run sales than to pack the thousands of bottles of products on our shelves.
Thank you to all who stop here to get updates.

Healthy Diet Tips

Dr. Amy — Thu, 12 Aug 2010 16:00:02 +0000

It is the easiest time of year to diet. It is hot outside and all the gardens are producing lots to eat.
Start with a protein (about 4-6 ounces of your choice) if you are a meat eater I would highly recommend going organic/free range so you are not ingesting hormones and chemicals in your protein source. If you a vegetaria, you could use beans, eggs, nuts, cheese, yougart etc.
The other 2 equal parts of your plate need to be alkalining foods. These tend to be vegetales. So if your protein is meat, here is where you add some grilled mixed veggies.
Remember to have at least 3 colors on your plate, and have 2 times the amount of your protein in veggies in the afternoon, fruits and grains in the morning.
Google a low glycemic foods chart off the net. This is a great way to help your pancreas, and eat lean. Exchange a sweet potato for a white potato. Exchange your regular pasta with Barilla plus or other brands that use grains high in protein.
Eating healthy doesnt mean never having comfort foods. As a nurtritionist, I meet with patients and go over their family recipes to tweek them a bit to be alittle more health friendly.

When making desert for the family add ground flax to your recipes and add a banana , healthy oils, or yougart for more moisture.
It is easy, but you have to be aware to make a change.

IgG Antibodies

Dr. Amy — Sat, 24 Jul 2010 00:01:30 +0000

IgG antibodies are found in all body fluids. They are the smallest but most common antibody (75% to 80%) of all the antibodies in the body. IgG antibodies are very important in fighting bacterial and viral infections. IgG antibodies are the only type of antibody that can cross the placenta in a pregnant woman to help protect her baby (fetus).

I have several patients that are fighting myeloma cancer. This cancer shows up on the bones. They take blood work frequently to check how the cancer is reacting to chemo or to natural medicine, and in most cases my patients are doing both sciences, just like I did.
The problem with looking at the IgG level only is that no one knows exactly what their IgG level was when they were healthy. The general range for IgG is 565-1800 (this range varies based on the machine). A bone scan is generally taken at different times to check on the status of current leison grow or remission.
If you or someone you know is fighting multiple myeloma, please let them know that my patients are all seeing great results by using both conventional and natural medicine to address this cancer.

General Healthy Summer Diet High in Alkaline

Dr. Amy — Wed, 21 Jul 2010 21:11:23 +0000

Everything is about balance. Being too acidic or too alkaline is not healthy. Cancer lives in acidic, so being more alkaline than acidic should be the goal. A healthy balance is the best for all of us. You can search the internet and find thousands of food charts that list alkaline/acidic foods. It isnt about not eating a certain food group, it is about eating a healthy balance.
First choose an acidic food, in general this will be a protein, meat, cheese, etc. Now look at how much of your plate that protein takes up. You will need to now fill your plate with 3 times as much alkalining foods (dark veggies) as there is protein. So, if you have 4 ounces of meat, you need 12 ounces of veggies and or salad to balance the acidic digestive acid that meat will produce in the body.
It isnt all that hard, think about a burger or steak on the plate. Now add some green beans, and a mixed salad, and a whole grain bun or roll and you have basically covered what you need to allow your body to stay more alkalkine.
If you buy pH testing strips, your saliva should average over 7 days approximately 6.4 on the pH scale. Dont worry if it rises and falls day to day or through out the day, as this is normal.
If you need to help your body be more alkalkine, or you are trying to fight or prevent cancer, call for a private consultation. 715-836-7021

Hydrogen Peroxide Treatment????

Dr. Amy — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 23:30:47 +0000

I was asked if I know about the IV treatment using hydrogen peroxide. I dont do that treatment at B Natural. The treatment is used in some clinics in Mexico to fight cancer. This is not part of any protocol that I use. I am a Natural Oncologist and use many different plant chemical based products to fight cancer and rebuild the immune system. Below are some of the definitions of what hydrogen peroxide is. I sell food grade hydrogen peroxide for ingestion at B Natural. If you want an IV treatment you will have to travel to Mexico. I would highly recommend a private consultation with me before you make that decision.

Progesterone Information

Dr. Amy — Sun, 25 Apr 2010 16:09:18 +0000

It has come to my attention that there are websites out there promoting the use by women, and worse yet, men, to use progesterone. Here are a few symptoms of high progesterone levels. I have seen many cases of women getting ovarian cycts from using progesterone in too high of a dose for their body.
Bioidentical still isnt your hormone, and you are still adding hormone to a body that isnt producing for some reason on it’s own.
I do recommend Wild Yam to those who are trying to keep a pregnancy.
I NEVER RECOMMEND IT FOR MEN!!!!!!!! I NEVER RECOMMEND PROGESTERONE THERAPY FOR TEEN AGE GIRLS. High hormone levels are directly linked to many cancers.
Please review the symptom list below, and really think about what you are doing to your body with the added hormone, no matter if it is synthetic or bioidentical, or natural – it is still ADDING hormones to the body.

SYMPTOMS OF HIGH PROGESTERONE LEVELS

Progesterone, like all hormones, needs to be in balance in order to enjoy the benefits that proper health ensures. If a woman has too much progesterone she will suffer from a series of side-effects including fatigue, breast tenderness, bloating, mood swings, sedation, loss of libido, and vaginal dryness. Keep reading to learn more about these various symptoms of high progesterone levels, in order to seek treatment.

Fatigue
Too much progesterone can be sedating and create fatigue. Fatigue is categorized by the physical or mental weariness resulting from exertion.
Breast tenderness
Breast tenderness is the discomfort, sensitivity, and/or pain in one or both of the breasts when touch or pressure is applied.
Bloating
Excess progesterone can lead to menstrual bloating. The swelling can occur around the belly, fingers, feet, ankles etc.
Mood Swings
As progesterone is the mood leveler, a mood swing may incur as progesterone levels get too high. Symptoms of a menopausal mood swing include emotional fluctuations, irritability, sadness, and even sudden bouts of tears.
Sedation
Sedation is extreme tiredness brought about by high levels of progesterone.
Loss of Libido
If progesterone is too high, then libido (desire for sexual activity) is decreased and depression is increased. Progesterone can activate dopamine so if the ratio is right between hormones, there is an increase in the pleasure from sex.
Vaginal Dryness
Vaginal dryness can lead to discomfort during sexual intercourse. Progesterone tends to promote vaginal dryness by counteracting the effect on lubrication of estrogens.

Taking Vitamins and Calcium Reduces Breast Cancer Risk According to Ken Pope

Dr. Amy — Fri, 23 Apr 2010 11:58:09 +0000

Ken PopeSubject: Multivitamins Reduce Breast Cancer Risk 30% The American Association for Cancer Research issued the following newsrelease: Vitamins and calcium supplements appear to reduce the risk of breastcancer, according to findings presented at the American Association forCancer Research 101st Annual Meeting 2010. “It is not an immediate effect. You don’t take a vitamin today and yourbreast cancer risk is reduced tomorrow,” said Jaime Matta, Ph.D.,professor in the Ponce School of Medicine in Puerto Rico. “However, we did see a long-term effect in terms of breast cancer reduction.” Matta said the findings suggest that the calcium supplements are actingto enhance DNA repair capacity, a complex biological process involvingmore than 200 proteins that, if disrupted, can lead to cancer. “This process involves at least five separate pathways and is criticalfor maintaining genomic stability,” said Matta. “When the DNA is not repaired, it leads to mutation that leads to cancer.” The study included 268 women with breast cancer and 457 healthycontrols. Women were more likely to have breast cancer if they wereolder, had a family history of breast cancer, had no history ofbreastfeeding and had lower DNA repair capacity. Vitamin supplements appeared to reduce the risk of breast cancer byabout 30 percent. Calcium supplements reduced the risk of breast cancer by 40 percent. After controlling for the level of DNA repair capacity, calciumsupplements were no longer as protective, but the link between vitaminsupplements and breast cancer reduction remained. “We’re not talking about mega doses of these vitamins and calciumsupplements, so this is definitely one way to reduce risk,” said Matta.
