The Simplest And Fastest Steps To A Well Behaved Stomach

Tweet

The solution to finding an over the counter remedy for digestive problems and a gassy stomach appear simple but in reality they are not. If you are aware of the popular bands such as Gas-X and Mylicon, (they contain simethicone) the problem is that they are not nearly as effective as they are supposed to be, especially for relieving gas pain.

If you are lactose intolerant, sometimes the lactase supplements which are again on sale all over the place, may help to ease some of the pain, discomfort and embarrassment. It would probably be just easier to avoid dairy products altogether which is not that easy when you are invited to dinner.

An alternative is to take a few ginger root capsules twice a day. The critics and the doubters here say that these could thin your blood but you would have to take enormous quantities for that to happen.  Some people get relief from the ginger but a more comprehensive herbal remedy is really the answer. There are no side effects and the results are certainly superior to the simethicone which tend to be very mixed.

It comes as no surprise, that ginger root is in the mix which is revered in both Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine as being a great aid to help digestion and to give relief from gassy stomach cramps.  All the research done shows that it is really effective in helping the digestive process.

Another great herb which is used is fennel which can both detoxify and also calm all the rumbling that can also be very embarrassing.  Research is now pointing towards its great capacity to help the smooth muscle of the digestive tract.

Another herb in the mix is burdock. which contains mucilage and inulin. These are great for soothing the gastrointestinal tract while at the same time acting as a laxative which helps to keep bowel movements regular. It also helps the urinary system and can reduce the amounts of uric acid in the body.

Another herb in this winning formula is the Carbo veg. which really helps to reduce the discomfort of gas after eating and is also a great help for the whole digestive process.

Now all these herbs are available in one preparation so there is no need to hunt around your local herbalist. Just one easy dose and you will find that digestive and gas problems may be reduced so much that you wonder is you ever had the problem of how to stop gas and bloating. 

The preparation is also manufactured by one of the major herbal remedies company in the USA which follows GMP practices and is also approved by the FDA. As if that was not enough, their preparations also carry a one year guarantee. 

Why Natural Treatments For ADHD Are Superior To Medication.

Medication for ADHD has now reached epidemic proportions and as time goes by, there does not seem to be an alternative form of drug which would be less harmful. That is why more and more parents are now turning to natural treatments for ADHD. They are just safer all round and in many cases are just as effective.

The reason why this has been hidden is an obvious one. The drug companies are powerful lobbies and they know how to protect their interests. It is as simple as that.

Let us look and see why medication of ADHD with these psychostimulant drugs is not the way to go. First, the figures are alarming. I know that figures for Ritalin prescriptions in the US alone can reach the 6 million figure every year, that is six times what it was just ten years ago.  ADHD diagnoses are rising by an average of 4% each year.  On a more anecdotal basis, a pharmacy assistant friend of mine was astounded when she realized how many requests were being presented for both Ritalin and Adderall, two of the most popular ones on the market to-day.

Here are six reasons why these ADHD meds are not the complete answer although they can be very useful in the short term and in some severe cases. The can stop a child from dangerous impulsive actions and also calm them down. But, and it is a very big but, they also come with a wide range of warnings and provisos.

Six reasons to seek an alternative such as natural treatments for ADHD :-

• the efficacy of the drugs is now questioned and the effects will wear off after three years (Dr. William Pelham, University of Buffalo and University of Florida).
• there may be a link with cancer ( National Toxicology Program research).
• there is a definite link with stunted growth and loss of appetite
• side effects will vary but can be severe and these will include cardiac arrest, hallucinations, suicide and an increase in violent and aggressive behavior.                       
• the drugs are using methylphenidate which is the same as cocaine and many of the effects are similar to some effects of this street drug
• treating ADHD with drugs will not teach a child the behavior and life skills he so desperately needs.

 Natural Treatments For ADHD :

• Supplementing the child’s diet with essential fatty acids or Omega 3 actually can improve ADHD symptoms more effectively than Ritalin. This was the result of a University of Adelaide study.
• Other dietary experiments at schools have shown that a healthier lunch with more fruit and vegetables had a marked effect on children’s behavior in the afternoon sessions. They were calmer and altogether more focused.
• Homeopathic remedies using such ingredients like Hyoscyamus, Versa alb and Arsen iod  and so one are much more effective and without any side effects at all. Luc Montagnier, the Nobel Prize winner in Immunology says that we should be much more open minded about homeopathic medicine. The pharmaceutical companies think otherwise and have even paid for research to show that these are nothing more than highly diluted substances.
• Helping a child through ADHD benavior therapy is done, not with meds, but with helping to set limits, sticking to them, having proper routines and an ADHD friendly home. These will help a child enormously over time and should not be underestimated at all. 
•  Children are usually much calmer when they have spent some time doing physical activities in the open so plenty of green time can be beneficial. Much better to do that than allow them use their electronic media at home!
