If you forget to take your Ginkgo biloba

I believe that there is a lot of evidence that says ginkgo biloba enhances memory. I know that there have been some recent studies done in order to disprove its efficacy, but we all need to look at who’s behind these studies and their motives for funding them. But in case you want to try [...]

I take melatonin on a regular basis, I have found that it helps me tremendously to fall asleep and get a good night’s rest. Recently, I found an article that discusses the link between bright lights at night, cancer, and how melatonin can slow down cancer by as much as 70 percent. Part of the [...]

If you have acid reflux

I haven’t had an episode of reflux for a long time, but it came back full force today. Partially because I ate right before lying down for a nap, but I feel its also because I haven’t taken any acidophilus caps for a long time.

Shopping for supplements

I spent quite a bit of time researching andrographis, and wanted to add it to the supplements I take. However, I didn’t need to place another vitamin order with my regular online retailer, so I decided to try to find it locally.
I checked the big chain vitamin stores, but no luck. So I called  Nature’s [...]

Great resource about Natural Health

Last night, I spent hours trying to research information on Andrographis. I wish I would’ve found this site earlier because it would’ve saved me so much time. Natural Medicine has a wealth of information available, including vaccination reactions, supplements and vitamins.
Speaking of andrographis, there is a lot of information showing that it helps with immune [...]

Digestive Enzymes

Okay, I took them for a month, and you know what? They seemed to really help my acid reflux. It’s actually almost miraculous, because they worked so well. I wonder if it’s time to test them with some pineapple juice?
Seriously, I think instead of eating pineapple, I’d do better to walk on a [...]
