• Stuck Between a Rock and the ER
    Dealing with kidney stone emergencies requires a different approach than that which resolves the chronic underlying causes

    Dr. Syed Haider

    We usually advocate for careful, measured medical solutions. We rail against the tendency to try to “hack” biology, because biology can’t be hacked without hacking it to bits.

    And yet, sometimes you just have to cut the Gordian knot, because there’s a difference between emergency care and chronic care.

    In emergencies you’re willing to do things that you might never do outside of them because in every situation you have to weigh the risks and benefits. When you have time on your side you can take it easy and do things the right way, without little or no risk at all. When you’re stuck between a rock and a hard place like the ER you often have to make concessions because the ER can mean even risker treatments and procedures that are often quite expensive as well.

    Kidney stones can be excruciatingly painful to pass, and sometimes they won’t pass at all if they’re too large. No matter how much painkiller you receive it may not do much at all when the spasmodic pains hit. And using the strongest opiate painkillers like morphine can worsen spasms of the ureter so patients are usually started on high dose ibuprofen, perhaps alpha blockers like tamsulosin to reduce spasms, and plenty of fluids to help flush the kidney stone out.

    Kidney Stones (Nephrolithiasis) - Symptoms and Causes
    If that doesn’t work then some types and sizes of stones can be broken up by a shockwave (lithotripsy) procedure, others require retrieval via a freaky endoscopic procedure call ureteroscopy, and still others may require a full on open surgery. 1 in 1000 to 1 in 2000 ureterscopy procedures will result in severe complications like avulsion of the ureter, requiring extensive surgical repair. Of course any major surgical procedure can involve complications, but for most people the biggest complication will be to their pocketbooks. With insurance you’re looking at $1000s in copays and without insurance 10s of $1000s. Finally and perhaps worst of all is the amount of time it takes to finally get relief from the stone. It could be many hours in the ER just waiting for the procedure to be arranged.

    In this and other similar situations it’s always good to have a plan B, or even a plan A that you can institute yourself.

    We’ve seen incredible results from two simple approaches to acute kidney stones. The first can be done by nearly anyone at any time and you just need a bunch of lemons and water. The second is more specialized and is the herb Chanca Piedra, which might be good to keep on hand if stones are a recurrent problem.

    Lemons are well known to help prevent the two mosts common types of kidney stones - calcium oxalate and uric acid, they’ve been mentioned by the Harvard Health website and many dialed-in urologists will let you know about lemon juice for prevention. Lemon juice has citric acid, which becomes citrate when excreted in the urine. This reduces acidity of the urine which can dissolve uric acid stones. The citrate also binds calcium ions to prevent calcium oxalate formation.

    It is not usually considered likely for citrate from lemonade or any other source to be able to shrink a calcium oxalate stone once it forms, but it seems like it should be possible. And we have to understand that even shaving off a tiny bit of an impacted stone can mean the difference between surgery and spontaneously passing it.

    Now at the surface of a calcium oxalate stone in the urine there would always be some flux of calcium ions either joining the stone or leaving it. The tendency towards one or the other would be influenced by how many calcium ions are dissolved in the urine. With the addition of citrate which binds and removes calcium ions from the urine, more calcium would be released from the calcium oxalate stone, thereby leading to progressive shrinkage of the stone. Perhaps a biochemist can chime in with a predicted rate of dissolution, but lets see what we can come up with.

    The likelihood of a stone passing naturally depends on its size (diameter):

    1 mm: 87% chance of passing

    2–4 mm: 76% chance of passing

    5–7 mm: 60% chance of passing

    7–9 mm: 48% chance of passing

    Larger than 9 mm: 25% chance of passing

    Kidney stones Memes and Images - Imgur
    Based on the weight of calcium oxalate and assuming a spherical stone shape, the following are the typical weights of various diameter stones:

    Small Stones (1-5 mm):

    Volume range: 0.5 mm³ to 65.45 mm³

    Weight range: Approximately 1 mg to 137 mg.

    Medium Stones (5-10 mm):

    Volume range: 65.45 mm³ to 523.6 mm³

    Weight range: Approximately 137 mg to 1100 mg.

    Large Stones (10-15 mm):

    Volume range: 523.6 mm³ to 1767 mm³

    Weight range: Approximately 1100 mg to 3710 mg.

    So if we can somehow manage to dissolve gram ranges of calcium oxalate we would have a very good chance of partially or completely dissolving any stone stuck in the ureter.

    1. Amount of Citrate in Lemon Juice

    Citrate Content: Lemon juice is a rich source of citrate. On average, one lemon (about 48 grams of lemon juice) contains approximately 1.44 grams of citrate.

    Daily Intake: If someone were to drink the juice of 16 lemons in day (8 glasses of 500ml with 2 lemons in each), this would provide approximately 23 grams of citrate.

    2. Citrate Absorption and Excretion

    Absorption and Metabolism: After ingestion, citrate is absorbed in the intestines, and a portion is metabolized in the body, while the remainder is excreted in the urine. The efficiency of absorption and excretion can vary, but it’s generally estimated that about 20-40% of ingested citrate is excreted unchanged in the urine.

    Urinary Citrate Increase: If we assume a 30% excretion rate, consuming 5.76 grams of citrate would result in approximately 7 grams of citrate entering the urine.

    3. Citrate Binding to Calcium

    Calcium Binding: Citrate binds to calcium in the urine, forming soluble calcium-citrate complexes. The effectiveness of this binding depends on the concentration of calcium and citrate in the urine.

    Binding Capacity: Each mole of citrate can theoretically bind one mole of calcium (even though citrate is trivalent, often only one binding site is involved in a stable complex in biological conditions). The binding of calcium by citrate is pH-dependent, with better binding at higher urinary pH (above 6.5), and citrate itself tends to raise the pH of urine. If we estimate that 7 grams of citrate could bind to a proportional amount of calcium (assuming typical urinary conditions), it could potentially bind up to around 1500 mg of calcium (since citrate and calcium have different molar weights).

    4. Impact on Calcium Oxalate Stones

    Impact on Stone Size: This should significantly reduce the stone size because 1500 mg of calcium represents about 5400 mg of calcium oxalate (the oxalate contributes its own weight when combined to calcium in the stone) and 5400mg is more than the weight of even most very large ureteral stones.

    Homemade Lemonade
    It seems from the above that drinking plenty of lemon juice could have an outsized impact on any stone stuck in the ureter or anywhere else, and even on much larger stones stuck in the kidneys. Perhaps unsurprisingly many people have reported anecdotally that drinking lots of lemon juice when they develop any type of kidney stone has helped dissolve it.

    In light of the calculations and reports it’s possible that lemon juice shrinks stones via the above laid out acetate in the urine mechanism (assuming there are no mistaken assumptions, like how fast the stone releases calcium at its surface), or that there is some other active principle in lemon juice that shrinks stones or stimulates relaxation of the ureters to allow them to pass, or that there is a placebo effect, or that people tend to be able to stomach more lemonade than they can plain water, and it’s just the relatively increased urine output that helps the situation.

    In any event if I had a stone I would drink as much lemonade as I could to see if I could get rid of it, despite every publicly searchable source swearing it wouldn’t help because I tend to believe other people’s experience over biased researchers and scientists. If I weren’t quite so confident I might drink the lemonade on the way to the ER, and while waiting for a urologist to show up - if it worked, great, if not, no harm, no foul.

    Chanca Piedra, Spanish for the “Stone Breaker”

    The other kidney stone remedy has more research to back it up than lemon juice does, though you’ll usually have to go out of your way to find it instead of just visiting your local grocery store. Chanca Piedra is an Amazonian herb that is well known in local lore to both help prevent and treat kidney stones. Similar to lemon juice it increases citrate secretion into the urine which will bind calcium. It increases the secretion of magnesium, which also inhibits calcium oxalate formation. It also has known diuretic (increased urine flow), antispasmodic, antioxidant and antiinflammatory effects that may all contribute to fast and pain-free stone passage.

    Gallstones

    Now, no treatment of acute painful stones that land you in the ER would be complete without touching on gallstones. There’s sure to be a way to treat these, but unfortunately we’re not as certain of a one size fits all remedy for this (let us know what you’ve got). I would caution against removing the gallbladder though, as it’s a crucial organ for proper digestion and for maintaining proper hormonal balance since bile is directly involved in fat digestion, including cholesterol, which is the precursor of all hormones. It’s also required for the digestion and absorption of the important fat soluble vitamins A, D, E and K. Of course bile will continue to be produced even without a gallbladder, but its synchronized, well-timed release during the process of digestion will be impaired.

    Gallbladder Disease in Children - HealthyChildren.org
    Removing the gallbladder can also contribute to estrogen excess, since extra estrogen is partly dumped into the gut via the bile and when not normally depleted may contribute to many common modern diseases such as:

    Obesity

    Heart Disease

    Diabetes

    Strokes

    Cancer

    Thyroid Dysfunction

    Endometriosis

    Uterine Fibroids

    Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)

    Osteoporosis

    Many people have already had their gallbladders removed, but they do keep producing bile and the situation can still be balanced out by optimizing lifestyle factors and oftentimes a psuedo-gallbladder will even reform due to dilation of the remaining bile ducts, which allows larger boluses of bile to be injected into the gut when called for, similar to what would happen with a normal gallbladder.

    Coffee Enemas and Gallstones


    Various enemas have been used since ancient times by every ancient medical system. Coffee enemas were first documented in the early 20th century. They were reportedly used by soldiers in WWI for pain control. They were popluarized by Max Gerson in the 1930s as an alternative therapy for liver and gallbladder flushing and support and in the alternative treatment of cancer. The best type for this purpose is organic, green, unroasted, heavy metal and mold free coffee.

    This is how coffee enemas may help with gallstones:

    Absorption:

    Whither Caffeine? The difference between a coffee enema and simply drinking the coffee lies in where the coffee and caffeine ends up. When you drink coffee the caffeine is primarily absorbed by the stomach and small intestine, and enters the systemic circulation traveling throughout the body before going to the liver to be metabolized out of the bloodstream. However with an enema the coffee and caffeine are primarily absorbed into the portal vein which feed straight into the liver. Here the effects of coffee will be concentrated, and coffee will also be metabolised and removed from the blood, rather than traveling on to the rest of the body. Research confirms that blood levels of caffeine are 2.5X lower after a coffee enema, compared to drinking the same quantity of coffee, and this is important because caffeines effect on the brain and rest of the body is not usually conducive to healing from chronic illness.

    Stimulation of Bile Flow:

    Bile Production & Flow: Caffeinated coffee specifically has been shown to stimulate the production of bile by the liver and promote its flow through the bile ducts by stimulating the contraction of the gallbladder. Enhanced bile flow can theoretically help prevent the formation of gallstones by keeping bile less concentrated and reducing the likelihood of cholesterol crystallization. It should also help break up or flush out stones already present since stagnation of bile is a risk factor for stone formation.

    Bile Duct Dilation: It’s possible coffee enemas cause dilation of the bile ducts, which could facilitate the passage of small stones or sludge, though this effect is not well-documented.

    Lemon Juice and Gallstones

    Not the first thing we think of for gallstones, but since we used it for kidney stones, lets check it out here as well. Traditionally it has been used and is usually taken with olive oil for gallstones.

    Bile Production and Flow:

    Lemon juice is high in citric acid, which stimulates bile production. Bile is essential for the digestion and emulsification of fats, and an increase in bile flow might help prevent the formation of gallstones and help break them down, particularly cholesterol stones. The antioxidant vitamin C in lemon juice could help support liver function including bile production.

    Chanca Piedra and Gallstones

    Again since we mentioned it for kidney stones it’s worth looking at here as well.

    Hepatoprotective and Choleretic Effects:

    Chanca Piedra has been traditionally used for various liver and gallbladder conditions. Some studies have indicated that it has hepatoprotective (liver-protecting) properties and may increase bile secretion (choleretic effect) which could help dissolve and flush out stones.

    Potential Stone Dissolution:

    Like its use in kidney stones, Chanca Piedra is believed by some to have poorly characterized litholytic (stone-dissolving) properties. While most of the evidence for this comes from studies on kidney stones, there is some traditional use and anecdotal evidence suggesting it might also be helpful for gallstones.

    Other Herbs for Gallstones

    There are many herbal remedies for gallbladder issues, but they’re beyond the scope of this article and should be recommended by a practitioner who analyzes the patient’s specific situation.

    Bile Acids for Gallstones

    Not considered an acute remedy, but more long term, is the supplementation of bile acids that are found in normal bile, but may be “deficient” in someone with gallstones. Ursodeoxycholic acid is often used. It helps remove cholesterol from the bile and dissolves cholesterol gallstones over time. There is a pharmaceutical version and you can also get animal sourced bile acid supplements. Should only be considered as an adjunct to real deep resolution.

    Bonus: Third “Rock”

    There’s one acute condition you’re unlikely to get treated in the ER and that’s a severe toothache, because dentists don’t usually visit ERs. This can be as painful as any other pathology and even strong painkillers have a hard time blunting it. The ER is likely to give you an antibiotic and a painkiller and then refer you to a dentist. If you’re lucky they’ll inject a temporary nerve block that will probably wear off in a few hours. All this for a price that may be in the thousands of dollars and can involve a lot of time in excruciating pain waiting to be seen.


    The single most effective and fastest treatment for any toothache, including an abscessed tooth is to bite on a fresh clove of garlic with the painful tooth. Pain is typically gone within a couple minutes. Though the garlic juice released can cause some brief burning in your mouth it’s well worth it. Garlic combines a nerve block and antibiotic in one. I have personally witnessed the effects which can last for 12-24 hours. It can be repeated as needed and can completely resolve not only the pain but even the underlying infection itself, reversing swelling, warmth, tenderness and temperature sensitivity within a day or two.

    The primary side effect aside from the mucosal burning from the juice is nuclear breath and distorted taste.

    Something that is much less smelly than garlic may work as well and that’s black cloves. You can try biting on 1-5 cloves with the affected tooth and often achieve the same effect, but if not you can always graduate to the garlic.


    Some people hate the dentist so much they go on to live with cloves in their mouth, allowing them to continue ignoring the underlying problem of dental disease caused by dietary and other lifestyle indiscretions. This is of course a recipe for eventual disaster.

    Like all the short term solutions, it’s not meant to be used as a long term bandaid. Anecdotally it is possible to actually heal teeth and avoid dentistry, but it does take dedication and significant lifestyle change. As with any disease process the approach is essentially to remove toxins and chronic pathogens which many people like have growin in the roots of multiple teeth - eg press your gums looking for any tender spots. Along with removing the harm we have to support the teeth with the right lifestyle choices and diet. Then we just have to wait long enough for these changes to take effect.

    Acute Care vs Chronic

    Some people figure out how to mitigate their acute kidney or gallstone issues, and then they turn that into their chronic care plan. There are many cases of patients who once they figure out that lemon juice will prevent further attacks simply drink lemonade daily and think no more of it.

    The problem of course is that this doesn’t address the root cause of the problem.

    It’s like having a leak in from the second floor bathroom and just painting over it, or when it gets worse just repairing the area that was leaked and making it waterproof.

    Sooner or later the water will just go somewhere else and spring another leak.


    The same happens in your body. The first symptom is just an early warning sign. It’s like the canary in the coal mine. When that canary died, the miners hightailed it out of there before they dropped dead too. The toxic gas dropped the little bird at much lower concentrations than it did the big miners, but once the gas started leaking they knew it would just keep building up until it got them too.

    The same in your kidney or liver/gallbladder. There is some mixture of causes: toxins/pathogens and nutrient/nourishment deficiencies that is harming your organ. Left unaddressed it will keep harming your organ even if you neutralize its ability to create stones.

    You’ve kept yourself comfortable by shutting up your early warning system. It’s like theres an enemy attacking and you were annoyed by the air raid sirens so you just shut them off and ignored the developing situation.

    So what do you do instead?

    Knowing the cause means knowing the solution.

    In traditional medical thought the kidneys were linked to fear and willpower. Kidney disease or dysfunction was associated with deep-seated fears, insecurities, and a lack of resolve and resilience.

    The gallbladder was seen as the organ responsible for decision-making, courage, and the capacity to act, so gallbladder issues were often linked to indecisiveness, trouble standing up for oneself, or suppressed anger/feelings.

    The body often gives you a sign by compensating for lack of one thing by overdoing another. There is a common psychological thread linking the emotional aspects of both organs related to willpower and decisiveness. In both cases there may be a kind of pathological softness, in other words an inability to be firm. And this excessive softness may eventually be balanced by the hardness manifested in the stones that may form in one or the other organ.

    Two Peas in a Pod

    Kidney diseases usually happen in those who have prolonged internal or external conflicts with spouses, partners or other people close to them.

    The kidneys are a paired organ, and its been said by the ancients they represent two people gazing at each other intently, or one person looking deeply at their own reflection in a mirror. This symbolism underscores the traditional view of the kidneys' connection to one's partner and oneself. It suggests that one can either view their partner as an extension of themselves or as a separate entity. When individuals begin to see their partner as an outsider rather than a reflection of themselves, it disrupts their unity and causes significant stress, leading to disconnection. Ideally, a husband and wife should function as a single entity, in perfect harmony, like one soul inhabiting two bodies. This reflects the traditional ideal of marriage.

    Another layer to this is seeing other people and the rest of the creation as one’s own reflection also. This is a spiritual perspective that engenders radical responsibility for everything that happens in life, including what is done to one by other people.

    The idea is that the Divine Will is the only Actor in the Universe and from the perspective of each individual, everything that happens is due to Divine Providence. The purpose of existence is to better know oneself and perfect oneself to better know the Divine and draw closer to that Reality. In order for that to happen the Universe and everything in it must reflect each individuals failings, so everything that happens and everything anyone does to one is meant to illuminate ones own imperfections so they can be worked upon.

    From this perspective individuals don’t blame others, but only blame themselves for whatever happens to them. It is an empowering perspective, rather than one of victimhood.

    So the kidneys actually represent more than just a person’s relationship with their closest partner or companion, but actually reflect their relationship with themselves. This relationship with onesself is simply most evident in the relationship with those closest to one, but it extends to the entire universe. So even a lack of harmony with nature, particularly the light encoded circadian rhythms, can also have a significant negative impact on kidney health.

    It should therefore come as no surprise that in Classical Chinese medical thought, the kidneys are considered the seat of wisdom, because it takes great insight to see one's partner and others and the entire universe all as a reflections of oneself - or in other words a Divine Act meant to illuminate your self to you. Considering the slings and arrows of fortune as “the other” entails a rejection ones own true nature, which is what is being reflected back at one. Deeply accepting oneself means accepting ones own responsibility for everything in life and improving it.

    In our experience, patients with kidney issues, invariably, upon a thorough exploration of their lives, reveal some form of conscious or subconscious conflict with others. While these conflicts may not always be immediately visible, they can manifest in various subtle ways. A skilled physician needs to listen attentively to every detail of the patient's description of their condition and life experiences to identify these underlying conflicts. If patients faile to recognize and address these conflicts, and if they don’t accept guidance to resolve them, we can only offer temporary patchwork solutions rather than truly restoring kidney vitality and providing deep healing.

    There may be exceptions where kidney damage results from toxic protein shakes, bodybuilding supplements, excessive intake of processed meats, or poor sleep habits (conneccted to circadian rhythms). However, even in these cases, outright kidney damage typically occurs only if the kidneys' underlying vitality has already been undermined by internal relationship conflicts, and those should always be assumed to be present, since who doesn’t have them to some degree or other?

    Trickle Down vs Bottom Up

    It may seem fantastical to some, but this higher level is where the weakness in organs usually originates. After organs have been weakened chronically by the energetic deficiency that manifests from an underlying psychological issue, the problem will manifest physically as typical nutrient deficiencies and toxin/pathogen build up in that organ.

    It is possible to mitigate these problems from higher up, at the level of the psyche, or lower down at the level of the physical body, but for a real deep resolution you often have to work on both, because they are both interconnected and interdependent. They are just manifestations of a single whole.

    Unfortunately it’s not possible to describe a generic physical or emotional protocol for every case of kidney or gallbladder disease, but the general approach will be the same because it’s founded in the basic principles of human health and disease: we are one interconnected whole, our body responds to our thoughts and emotions. Chronic harmful thoughts and emotions create chronic bodily dysfunction which manifests as deficiencies and toxicities.

    It may appear to some people that their dysfunction was obviously due to a purely physical insult, like a parasite, other microbe, or a vaccine or other injury, or chronic stress or other toxicity. However these same causes affect innumerable other people who don’t end up with kidney or gallbladder issues like stones. Who gets what in response to common toxins in the environment depends on which organs are constitutionally weak. Constitutional weakness can have a genetic element as well, which predisposes someone to certain psychological issues. But this can still be fixed. Genes aren’t your destiny, their just the first draft script you've been given to edit as you see fit.

    Graduating to the level of taking radical responsiblity for yourself will allow any disease to be healed. This is the most satisfying path because it’s a journey of spiritual progress which gets at the reason for your entire existence, which is to better know the Divine, by better knowing your own failings and correcting them bit by bit. The more you grow the closer you become and the more subtle your failings become that you continue to uncover. Everything that happens is just a reflection of you, taken by the Divine and cast back at you to get you to wake up and change.

Chanca Piedra, Spanish for the “Stone Breaker” The other kidney stone remedy has more research to back it up than lemon juice does, though you’ll usually have to go out of your way to find it instead of just visiting your local grocery store. Chanca Piedra is an Amazonian herb that is well known in local lore to both help prevent and treat kidney stones. Similar to lemon juice it increases citrate secretion into the urine which will bind calcium. It increases the secretion of magnesium, which also inhibits calcium oxalate formation. It also has known diuretic (increased urine flow), antispasmodic, antioxidant and antiinflammatory effects that may all contribute to fast and pain-free stone passage. Gallstones Now, no treatment of acute painful stones that land you in the ER would be complete without touching on gallstones. There’s sure to be a way to treat these, but unfortunately we’re not as certain of a one size fits all remedy for this (let us know what you’ve got). I would caution against removing the gallbladder though, as it’s a crucial organ for proper digestion and for maintaining proper hormonal balance since bile is directly involved in fat digestion, including cholesterol, which is the precursor of all hormones. It’s also required for the digestion and absorption of the important fat soluble vitamins A, D, E and K. Of course bile will continue to be produced even without a gallbladder, but its synchronized, well-timed release during the process of digestion will be impaired. Gallbladder Disease in Children - HealthyChildren.org Removing the gallbladder can also contribute to estrogen excess, since extra estrogen is partly dumped into the gut via the bile and when not normally depleted may contribute to many common modern diseases such as: Obesity Heart Disease Diabetes Strokes Cancer Thyroid Dysfunction Endometriosis Uterine Fibroids Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) Osteoporosis Many people have already had their gallbladders removed, but they do keep producing bile and the situation can still be balanced out by optimizing lifestyle factors and oftentimes a psuedo-gallbladder will even reform due to dilation of the remaining bile ducts, which allows larger boluses of bile to be injected into the gut when called for, similar to what would happen with a normal gallbladder. Coffee Enemas and Gallstones Various enemas have been used since ancient times by every ancient medical system. Coffee enemas were first documented in the early 20th century. They were reportedly used by soldiers in WWI for pain control. They were popluarized by Max Gerson in the 1930s as an alternative therapy for liver and gallbladder flushing and support and in the alternative treatment of cancer. The best type for this purpose is organic, green, unroasted, heavy metal and mold free coffee. This is how coffee enemas may help with gallstones: Absorption: Whither Caffeine? The difference between a coffee enema and simply drinking the coffee lies in where the coffee and caffeine ends up. When you drink coffee the caffeine is primarily absorbed by the stomach and small intestine, and enters the systemic circulation traveling throughout the body before going to the liver to be metabolized out of the bloodstream. However with an enema the coffee and caffeine are primarily absorbed into the portal vein which feed straight into the liver. Here the effects of coffee will be concentrated, and coffee will also be metabolised and removed from the blood, rather than traveling on to the rest of the body. Research confirms that blood levels of caffeine are 2.5X lower after a coffee enema, compared to drinking the same quantity of coffee, and this is important because caffeines effect on the brain and rest of the body is not usually conducive to healing from chronic illness. Stimulation of Bile Flow: Bile Production & Flow: Caffeinated coffee specifically has been shown to stimulate the production of bile by the liver and promote its flow through the bile ducts by stimulating the contraction of the gallbladder. Enhanced bile flow can theoretically help prevent the formation of gallstones by keeping bile less concentrated and reducing the likelihood of cholesterol crystallization. It should also help break up or flush out stones already present since stagnation of bile is a risk factor for stone formation. Bile Duct Dilation: It’s possible coffee enemas cause dilation of the bile ducts, which could facilitate the passage of small stones or sludge, though this effect is not well-documented. Lemon Juice and Gallstones Not the first thing we think of for gallstones, but since we used it for kidney stones, lets check it out here as well. Traditionally it has been used and is usually taken with olive oil for gallstones. Bile Production and Flow: Lemon juice is high in citric acid, which stimulates bile production. Bile is essential for the digestion and emulsification of fats, and an increase in bile flow might help prevent the formation of gallstones and help break them down, particularly cholesterol stones. The antioxidant vitamin C in lemon juice could help support liver function including bile production. Chanca Piedra and Gallstones Again since we mentioned it for kidney stones it’s worth looking at here as well. Hepatoprotective and Choleretic Effects: Chanca Piedra has been traditionally used for various liver and gallbladder conditions. Some studies have indicated that it has hepatoprotective (liver-protecting) properties and may increase bile secretion (choleretic effect) which could help dissolve and flush out stones. Potential Stone Dissolution: Like its use in kidney stones, Chanca Piedra is believed by some to have poorly characterized litholytic (stone-dissolving) properties. While most of the evidence for this comes from studies on kidney stones, there is some traditional use and anecdotal evidence suggesting it might also be helpful for gallstones. Thanks for reading Dr. Syed Haider! This post is public so feel free to share it. Share Other Herbs for Gallstones There are many herbal remedies for gallbladder issues, but they’re beyond the scope of this article and should be recommended by a practitioner who analyzes the patient’s specific situation. Bile Acids for Gallstones Not considered an acute remedy, but more long term, is the supplementation of bile acids that are found in normal bile, but may be “deficient” in someone with gallstones. Ursodeoxycholic acid is often used. It helps remove cholesterol from the bile and dissolves cholesterol gallstones over time. There is a pharmaceutical version and you can also get animal sourced bile acid supplements. Should only be considered as an adjunct to real deep resolution. Bonus: Third “Rock” There’s one acute condition you’re unlikely to get treated in the ER and that’s a severe toothache, because dentists don’t usually visit ERs. This can be as painful as any other pathology and even strong painkillers have a hard time blunting it. The ER is likely to give you an antibiotic and a painkiller and then refer you to a dentist. If you’re lucky they’ll inject a temporary nerve block that will probably wear off in a few hours. All this for a price that may be in the thousands of dollars and can involve a lot of time in excruciating pain waiting to be seen. The single most effective and fastest treatment for any toothache, including an abscessed tooth is to bite on a fresh clove of garlic with the painful tooth. Pain is typically gone within a couple minutes. Though the garlic juice released can cause some brief burning in your mouth it’s well worth it. Garlic combines a nerve block and antibiotic in one. I have personally witnessed the effects which can last for 12-24 hours. It can be repeated as needed and can completely resolve not only the pain but even the underlying infection itself, reversing swelling, warmth, tenderness and temperature sensitivity within a day or two. The primary side effect aside from the mucosal burning from the juice is nuclear breath and distorted taste. Something that is much less smelly than garlic may work as well and that’s black cloves. You can try biting on 1-5 cloves with the affected tooth and often achieve the same effect, but if not you can always graduate to the garlic. Some people hate the dentist so much they go on to live with cloves in their mouth, allowing them to continue ignoring the underlying problem of dental disease caused by dietary and other lifestyle indiscretions. This is of course a recipe for eventual disaster. Like all the short term solutions, it’s not meant to be used as a long term bandaid. Anecdotally it is possible to actually heal teeth and avoid dentistry, but it does take dedication and significant lifestyle change. As with any disease process the approach is essentially to remove toxins and chronic pathogens which many people like have growin in the roots of multiple teeth - eg press your gums looking for any tender spots. Along with removing the harm we have to support the teeth with the right lifestyle choices and diet. Then we just have to wait long enough for these changes to take effect. Acute Care vs Chronic Some people figure out how to mitigate their acute kidney or gallstone issues, and then they turn that into their chronic care plan. There are many cases of patients who once they figure out that lemon juice will prevent further attacks simply drink lemonade daily and think no more of it. The problem of course is that this doesn’t address the root cause of the problem. It’s like having a leak in from the second floor bathroom and just painting over it, or when it gets worse just repairing the area that was leaked and making it waterproof. Sooner or later the water will just go somewhere else and spring another leak. The same happens in your body. The first symptom is just an early warning sign. It’s like the canary in the coal mine. When that canary died, the miners hightailed it out of there before they dropped dead too. The toxic gas dropped the little bird at much lower concentrations than it did the big miners, but once the gas started leaking they knew it would just keep building up until it got them too. The same in your kidney or liver/gallbladder. There is some mixture of causes: toxins/pathogens and nutrient/nourishment deficiencies that is harming your organ. Left unaddressed it will keep harming your organ even if you neutralize its ability to create stones. You’ve kept yourself comfortable by shutting up your early warning system. It’s like theres an enemy attacking and you were annoyed by the air raid sirens so you just shut them off and ignored the developing situation. So what do you do instead? Knowing the cause means knowing the solution. In traditional medical thought the kidneys were linked to fear and willpower. Kidney disease or dysfunction was associated with deep-seated fears, insecurities, and a lack of resolve and resilience. The gallbladder was seen as the organ responsible for decision-making, courage, and the capacity to act, so gallbladder issues were often linked to indecisiveness, trouble standing up for oneself, or suppressed anger/feelings. The body often gives you a sign by compensating for lack of one thing by overdoing another. There is a common psychological thread linking the emotional aspects of both organs related to willpower and decisiveness. In both cases there may be a kind of pathological softness, in other words an inability to be firm. And this excessive softness may eventually be balanced by the hardness manifested in the stones that may form in one or the other organ. Thanks for reading Dr. Syed Haider! This post is public so feel free to share it. Share Two Peas in a Pod Kidney diseases usually happen in those who have prolonged internal or external conflicts with spouses, partners or other people close to them. The kidneys are a paired organ, and its been said by the ancients they represent two people gazing at each other intently, or one person looking deeply at their own reflection in a mirror. This symbolism underscores the traditional view of the kidneys' connection to one's partner and oneself. It suggests that one can either view their partner as an extension of themselves or as a separate entity. When individuals begin to see their partner as an outsider rather than a reflection of themselves, it disrupts their unity and causes significant stress, leading to disconnection. Ideally, a husband and wife should function as a single entity, in perfect harmony, like one soul inhabiting two bodies. This reflects the traditional ideal of marriage. Another layer to this is seeing other people and the rest of the creation as one’s own reflection also. This is a spiritual perspective that engenders radical responsibility for everything that happens in life, including what is done to one by other people. The idea is that the Divine Will is the only Actor in the Universe and from the perspective of each individual, everything that happens is due to Divine Providence. The purpose of existence is to better know oneself and perfect oneself to better know the Divine and draw closer to that Reality. In order for that to happen the Universe and everything in it must reflect each individuals failings, so everything that happens and everything anyone does to one is meant to illuminate ones own imperfections so they can be worked upon. From this perspective individuals don’t blame others, but only blame themselves for whatever happens to them. It is an empowering perspective, rather than one of victimhood. So the kidneys actually represent more than just a person’s relationship with their closest partner or companion, but actually reflect their relationship with themselves. This relationship with onesself is simply most evident in the relationship with those closest to one, but it extends to the entire universe. So even a lack of harmony with nature, particularly the light encoded circadian rhythms, can also have a significant negative impact on kidney health. It should therefore come as no surprise that in Classical Chinese medical thought, the kidneys are considered the seat of wisdom, because it takes great insight to see one's partner and others and the entire universe all as a reflections of oneself - or in other words a Divine Act meant to illuminate your self to you. Considering the slings and arrows of fortune as “the other” entails a rejection ones own true nature, which is what is being reflected back at one. Deeply accepting oneself means accepting ones own responsibility for everything in life and improving it. In our experience, patients with kidney issues, invariably, upon a thorough exploration of their lives, reveal some form of conscious or subconscious conflict with others. While these conflicts may not always be immediately visible, they can manifest in various subtle ways. A skilled physician needs to listen attentively to every detail of the patient's description of their condition and life experiences to identify these underlying conflicts. If patients faile to recognize and address these conflicts, and if they don’t accept guidance to resolve them, we can only offer temporary patchwork solutions rather than truly restoring kidney vitality and providing deep healing. There may be exceptions where kidney damage results from toxic protein shakes, bodybuilding supplements, excessive intake of processed meats, or poor sleep habits (conneccted to circadian rhythms). However, even in these cases, outright kidney damage typically occurs only if the kidneys' underlying vitality has already been undermined by internal relationship conflicts, and those should always be assumed to be present, since who doesn’t have them to some degree or other? Trickle Down vs Bottom Up It may seem fantastical to some, but this higher level is where the weakness in organs usually originates. After organs have been weakened chronically by the energetic deficiency that manifests from an underlying psychological issue, the problem will manifest physically as typical nutrient deficiencies and toxin/pathogen build up in that organ. It is possible to mitigate these problems from higher up, at the level of the psyche, or lower down at the level of the physical body, but for a real deep resolution you often have to work on both, because they are both interconnected and interdependent. They are just manifestations of a single whole. Unfortunately it’s not possible to describe a generic physical or emotional protocol for every case of kidney or gallbladder disease, but the general approach will be the same because it’s founded in the basic principles of human health and disease: we are one interconnected whole, our body responds to our thoughts and emotions. Chronic harmful thoughts and emotions create chronic bodily dysfunction which manifests as deficiencies and toxicities. It may appear to some people that their dysfunction was obviously due to a purely physical insult, like a parasite, other microbe, or a vaccine or other injury, or chronic stress or other toxicity. However these same causes affect innumerable other people who don’t end up with kidney or gallbladder issues like stones. Who gets what in response to common toxins in the environment depends on which organs are constitutionally weak. Constitutional weakness can have a genetic element as well, which predisposes someone to certain psychological issues. But this can still be fixed. Genes aren’t your destiny, their just the first draft script you've been given to edit as you see fit. Graduating to the level of taking radical responsiblity for yourself will allow any disease to be healed. This is the most satisfying path because it’s a journey of spiritual progress which gets at the reason for your entire existence, which is to better know the Divine, by better knowing your own failings and correcting them bit by bit. The more you grow the closer you become and the more subtle your failings become that you continue to uncover. Everything that happens is just a reflection of you, taken by the Divine and cast back at you to get you to wake up and change. https://blog.mygotodoc.com/p/stuck-between-a-rock-and-the-er

  • What Helps with Shingles Pain at Night?
    Shingles, or herpes zoster, is caused by the varicella zoster virus, the same virus responsible for chickenpox. When this virus reactivates, it leads to a painful condition characterized by a shingles rash, which can be especially distressing at night. The discomfort often with develop shingles stems from nerve pain and increased skin sensitivity, making it hard to sleep. So, what helps with shingles pain at night?

    Understanding Shingles Symptoms and Pain

    The shingles virus presents as a painful rash, often accompanied by blisters and an intense burning sensation. This burning pain typically follows the path of nerves affected by the virus that causes shingles. Some individuals may experience severe pain that extends well beyond the rash itself, often lingering for weeks or months—a condition known as postherpetic neuralgia.

    Nerve pain from shingles is most troublesome at night, as the body’s natural rhythms slow down, making the discomfort feel more intense. Other shingles symptoms like itching, tingling, and sensitivity also contribute to sleepless nights.

    Why Does Shingles Pain Get Worse at Night?

    Nighttime pain is common in shingles because of factors such as:

    Decrease in distractions: During the day, distractions like work or conversation can help the brain focus on other things, minimizing the perception of pain. At night, when the environment is quieter, the pain feels more intense.
    Body position: Lying down can increase pressure on the affected area, worsening shingles pain. Areas with rash and blisters are particularly prone to this pressure.
    Temperature fluctuations: Changes in body temperature, such as feeling too hot or too cold, can trigger nerve pain and increase skin sensitivity.
    Muscle pain and tension: During shingles outbreaks, muscle pain often accompanies the rash, which can worsen when you’re lying still for long periods.
    Pain Relief for Shingles at Night

    Over-the-Counter Topical Treatments Topical treatments, such as calamine lotion or colloidal oatmeal, can help alleviate shingles symptoms. These products create a soothing effect on the skin, reducing itching and burning sensations that worsen at night. Applying a thin layer to the affected area before bedtime can help you relax and promote better sleep.
    Cool Baths and Compresses A cool bath or the use of cold compresses can be effective in reducing nerve pain and increased skin sensitivity. Cold therapy helps to numb the skin, which in turn helps decrease pain. This is especially helpful for those dealing with shingles outbreaks and flare-ups during the night.
    Prescription Medications If over-the-counter treatments aren’t providing enough relief, prescription medications may be required. Antiviral medications, such as acyclovir or valacyclovir, can help treat shingles by speeding up the healing process and reducing the duration of shingles pain. Additionally, tricyclic antidepressants are sometimes prescribed for postherpetic neuralgia to reduce pain signals from the damaged nerves.
    Antiviral Medications and Early Treatment Starting antiviral drugs early after a shingles outbreak can shorten the duration of symptoms and provide pain relief. By tackling the virus head-on, antiviral medication helps to manage the varicella zoster virus and may prevent shingles pain from becoming too severe at night.
    Anti-Inflammatory Home Remedies Anti-inflammatory home remedies such as soaking in cool water or using certain creams made from chili peppers may help soothe inflamed skin. Some research suggests that capsaicin, derived from chili peppers, can reduce pain signals over time by numbing the nerve endings.
    Additional Methods for Relieving Shingles Pain at Night

    Prescription Medications for Nerve Pain For those suffering from persistent nerve pain due to shingles, prescription medications such as gabapentin or pregabalin can help. These medications target the nervous system, dampening pain signals and providing much-needed relief, especially during the night. In cases of postherpetic neuralgia (PHN), these medications may be recommended to reduce the severity of postherpetic pain and promote better sleep.Tricyclic antidepressants are another option commonly prescribed for post herpetic neuralgia. These drugs help to reduce pain by altering the way your body interprets pain signals, particularly for those dealing with lingering shingles pain long after the rash has healed.
    Ivermectin for Shingles Relief Though primarily used as an antiparasitic medication, Ivermectin has been explored for its potential benefits in alleviating shingles symptoms. Studies suggest that Ivermectin may help reduce inflammation and relieve nerve pain caused by the varicella zoster virus. It can also be beneficial in managing postherpetic neuralgia, offering another option for those struggling to find relief from traditional treatments. Always consult your healthcare professional to determine if Ivermectin could be a suitable addition to your treatment plan for nighttime shingles pain.
    Natural Remedies to Soothe Nighttime Discomfort There are various natural remedies that may help with shingles pain at night. Cool baths infused with essential oils such as lavender or chamomile can promote relaxation and help reduce burning pain. Colloidal oatmeal baths are another option to calm irritated skin and decrease inflammation.Aloe vera, known for its soothing properties, can also be applied to the shingles rash to provide skin comfort and alleviate skin sensitivity during the night. Similarly, applying a thin layer of manuka honey can help with wound healing and reduce the discomfort of the painful rash.
    Preventative Measures: The Shingrix Vaccine One of the best ways to prevent future shingles outbreaks and reduce the risk of severe pain is to get vaccinated with the Shingrix vaccine. This zoster vaccine recombinant is highly effective in preventing shingles and its complications, such as postherpetic neuralgia. According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the vaccine is recommended for healthy adults over 50, as well as for those with a weakened immune system who are at higher risk of developing shingles.By boosting your immune system with the shingles vaccine, you can help prevent future shingles outbreaks and avoid the severe pain that can make nights unbearable. Preventing shingles altogether is a critical step in long-term health and wellness.
    Home Remedies and Self-Care Tips Managing shingles pain at night often involves a combination of self-care practices. Cool compresses applied to the affected area can help reduce inflammation and numb the skin, providing temporary relief. Additionally, calamine lotion or lotions containing colloidal oatmeal can help relieve itching and soothe the skin.Incorporating an anti-inflammatory diet rich in foods like fatty fish, leafy greens, and antioxidant-rich berries may also aid in reducing inflammation and supporting the immune system during recovery from shingles.
    Conclusion

    Dealing with shingles can be overwhelming, particularly when shingles pain interferes with your ability to rest at night. However, by incorporating a combination of prescription medications, natural remedies, and preventative measures like the Shingrix vaccine, you can manage your symptoms more effectively and improve your quality of life.

    From antiviral medications and Ivermectin to soothing home remedies like aloe vera and colloidal oatmeal, there are numerous ways to manage symptoms, reduce pain and promote healing. Always work closely with a healthcare provider to tailor a treatment plan that best suits your needs and provides the greatest pain relief during the night.

  • Relieve Stress and Pain: The Top Reasons to Try Remedial Massage in Coburg

    In today’s fast-paced world, managing stress and physical discomfort has become more important than ever. As we navigate our busy lives, many of us experience the effects of stress, tension, and chronic pain, all of which can negatively impact our overall well-being. This is where remedial massage in Coburg steps in as a highly effective solution. Whether you’re dealing with stress, recovering from an injury, or simply seeking relaxation, remedial massage offers a range of benefits that can greatly enhance your quality of life. In this article, we will explore the top reasons why you should consider trying remedial massage in Coburg.

    What Is Remedial Massage?

    Remedial massage is a therapeutic technique that involves the assessment and treatment of muscles, tendons, ligaments, and connective tissues of the body. Unlike general relaxation massages, remedial massage focuses on treating specific areas of discomfort or injury. This type of massage is designed to alleviate pain, reduce tension, improve circulation, and promote healing. It is often recommended for individuals dealing with chronic pain, sports injuries, postural imbalances, or stress-related issues.

    The Physical Benefits of Remedial Massage

    1. Pain Relief

    One of the most compelling reasons to try remedial massage in Coburg is its ability to provide pain relief. Whether you’re suffering from chronic back pain, neck stiffness, or sore muscles, remedial massage can help. By targeting the specific areas of discomfort, the therapist can work on releasing tight muscles, reducing inflammation, and improving blood flow. This not only alleviates pain but also promotes faster recovery from injuries.

    2. Improved Circulation

    Remedial massage is known to enhance blood circulation throughout the body. When the muscles are manipulated during a massage, it encourages blood flow, which in turn delivers oxygen and nutrients to the tissues. Improved circulation can help in reducing swelling and inflammation, as well as in speeding up the healing process of damaged tissues.

    3. Increased Flexibility and Range of Motion

    For those who experience stiffness or limited mobility, remedial massage can be highly beneficial. Regular sessions can increase flexibility and enhance range of motion by stretching and lengthening the muscles. This is particularly useful for athletes or individuals who engage in physical activities that require a full range of motion. By improving flexibility, you can also reduce the risk of injuries and enhance your overall physical performance.

    4. Postural Improvement

    Poor posture is a common issue that many people face, often leading to discomfort and pain in various parts of the body. Remedial massage can help in correcting postural imbalances by relaxing tight muscles and realigning the body. By addressing these issues, you can prevent future injuries and improve your overall posture, leading to a more balanced and comfortable body.

    The Mental and Emotional Benefits of Remedial Massage

    1. Stress Reduction

    In today’s hectic lifestyle, stress is a common problem that affects our mental and physical health. Remedial massage is an excellent way to reduce stress and promote relaxation. The therapeutic touch of the massage therapist helps in calming the nervous system, reducing cortisol levels, and promoting the release of endorphins, the body’s natural “feel-good” hormones. This leads to a profound sense of relaxation and well-being, helping you to manage stress more effectively.

    2. Improved Mental Clarity and Focus

    Stress and tension can often cloud our minds, making it difficult to concentrate and stay focused. Remedial massage can enhance mental clarity and improve focus by promoting relaxation and reducing mental fatigue. The calming effects of the massage allow your mind to relax, leading to improved cognitive function and a clearer, more focused mindset.

    3. Emotional Balance

    Our emotional health is closely linked to our physical well-being. Remedial massage can help in achieving emotional balance by releasing physical tension and promoting a sense of calm and relaxation. Many individuals find that regular massage sessions help them to manage their emotions better, leading to a more balanced and harmonious life.

    Why Choose Remedial Massage in Coburg?

    Relieve Stress and Pain: The Top Reasons to Try Remedial Massage in Coburg In today’s fast-paced world, managing stress and physical discomfort has become more important than ever. As we navigate our busy lives, many of us experience the effects of stress, tension, and chronic pain, all of which can negatively impact our overall well-being. This is where remedial massage in Coburg steps in as a highly effective solution. Whether you’re dealing with stress, recovering from an injury, or simply seeking relaxation, remedial massage offers a range of benefits that can greatly enhance your quality of life. In this article, we will explore the top reasons why you should consider trying remedial massage in Coburg. What Is Remedial Massage? Remedial massage is a therapeutic technique that involves the assessment and treatment of muscles, tendons, ligaments, and connective tissues of the body. Unlike general relaxation massages, remedial massage focuses on treating specific areas of discomfort or injury. This type of massage is designed to alleviate pain, reduce tension, improve circulation, and promote healing. It is often recommended for individuals dealing with chronic pain, sports injuries, postural imbalances, or stress-related issues. The Physical Benefits of Remedial Massage 1. Pain Relief One of the most compelling reasons to try remedial massage in Coburg is its ability to provide pain relief. Whether you’re suffering from chronic back pain, neck stiffness, or sore muscles, remedial massage can help. By targeting the specific areas of discomfort, the therapist can work on releasing tight muscles, reducing inflammation, and improving blood flow. This not only alleviates pain but also promotes faster recovery from injuries. 2. Improved Circulation Remedial massage is known to enhance blood circulation throughout the body. When the muscles are manipulated during a massage, it encourages blood flow, which in turn delivers oxygen and nutrients to the tissues. Improved circulation can help in reducing swelling and inflammation, as well as in speeding up the healing process of damaged tissues. 3. Increased Flexibility and Range of Motion For those who experience stiffness or limited mobility, remedial massage can be highly beneficial. Regular sessions can increase flexibility and enhance range of motion by stretching and lengthening the muscles. This is particularly useful for athletes or individuals who engage in physical activities that require a full range of motion. By improving flexibility, you can also reduce the risk of injuries and enhance your overall physical performance. 4. Postural Improvement Poor posture is a common issue that many people face, often leading to discomfort and pain in various parts of the body. Remedial massage can help in correcting postural imbalances by relaxing tight muscles and realigning the body. By addressing these issues, you can prevent future injuries and improve your overall posture, leading to a more balanced and comfortable body. The Mental and Emotional Benefits of Remedial Massage 1. Stress Reduction In today’s hectic lifestyle, stress is a common problem that affects our mental and physical health. Remedial massage is an excellent way to reduce stress and promote relaxation. The therapeutic touch of the massage therapist helps in calming the nervous system, reducing cortisol levels, and promoting the release of endorphins, the body’s natural “feel-good” hormones. This leads to a profound sense of relaxation and well-being, helping you to manage stress more effectively. 2. Improved Mental Clarity and Focus Stress and tension can often cloud our minds, making it difficult to concentrate and stay focused. Remedial massage can enhance mental clarity and improve focus by promoting relaxation and reducing mental fatigue. The calming effects of the massage allow your mind to relax, leading to improved cognitive function and a clearer, more focused mindset. 3. Emotional Balance Our emotional health is closely linked to our physical well-being. Remedial massage can help in achieving emotional balance by releasing physical tension and promoting a sense of calm and relaxation. Many individuals find that regular massage sessions help them to manage their emotions better, leading to a more balanced and harmonious life. Why Choose Remedial Massage in Coburg? 1.

  • JUST A MINUTE PLEASE !(THE PREACHER'S CORNER)

    AND CHRIST JESUS WEPT AND WEEPS FOR US STILL! (JN.11:35 and ISA.53:3)

    Brethren, there are hard practical christian facts we need to know about our relationship with God. As usual, I am not left out. I am talking to myself as I talk to you.

    Now, Jn. 11:35 is the shortest verse in the Bible. Jesus wept, isn't it?
    What about this;
    He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. (Isa 53: 3)

    God's emotions look closest to ours when we look at Christ Jesus. Christ Jesus being God in human form, cried just as other people (Philippians 2:6–11). When Lazarus died, "Jesus wept," even though He knew that He would raise him from the dead (John 11:34–44).

    Christ Jesus' life on the earth shows us the empathy of God the Father. In fact, Christ Jesus told His disciples this truth: "Whoever has seen me has seen the Father" (John 14:9).

    How many of us have taken time to wonder why God will cry? Forget the excuses given in Jn. 11 by idlers. Our lack of absolute trust in Him, TRUST THAT IS ABSOLUTELY STRONG ENOUGH FOR US TO KEEP US FROM "DELIBERATELY" DOING THINGS THAT HURT HIM,[EVEN IF IT MEANS TO DIE], AFTER HIS GREAT SACRIFICE FOR US!

    God has emotions too, after all He breathed His Life into us . He desires an untainted relationship with us. Especially in the most seemingly impossible of all times.
    INSTEAD, WE CAST OUR BLAMES ON HIM WHEN THINGS TURN SOUR, EVEN YELL AT HIM AS THE CAUSE OF OUR MISFORTUNES, WHEN WE OUGHT TO, AND SHOULD BE BLAMING OURSELVES.
    I REPEAT, GOD HAS EMOTIONS TOO.

    But, 99.9% of the time, after yelling at Him, He chose to yet LOVE US, instead of becoming angry, because HIS VERY ESSENCE IS LOVE... THE REASON WHY THEOLOGY IS ACTUALLY AN INSULT ON GOD'S PERSON, (ESPECIALLY THOSE THAT WANTS TO KNOW THE COLOUR OF HIS PANTIES)
    I foresee us having a part two of this, so I will take it slowly.

    FIRST AND FOREMOST, WE DO KNOW THAT GOD DESIRES A PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM;
    Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for THY PLEASURE they are and were CREATED. (Rev 4: 11)
    Before we go to Eden's Garden, take a look at prophet Isaiah in Chapter 6. He forgot his relationship with God... for chapter 1-5, when he feels like it, he goes out proclaim God's Word and return to relax in the comfort of King Uzziah's palace. But that wasn't what God wanted with him and for him, thus Uzziah had to leave the scene for ISAIAH TO COME TO SELF REALIZATION;{Isa.6:1-13};

    In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple. (Isa 6: 1)

    Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts. (Isa 6: 5)

    7. And he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged.
    8. Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me.
    9. And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not. (Isa 6: 7-9)
    I hope we understand this. Isaiah thought his relationship with God as His prophet was okay, but it wasn't. JUST LIKE SOME OF US TODAY... GOD WANTED MORE, BUT WE AREN'T WILLING TO. AND WHEN THINGS DON'T GO THE WAY WE WISH, WE NEVER YELL AT OURSELVES, BUT WE YELL AT GOD FOR FAILING US.

    Isaiah was fortunate, not everyone has that grace(I consider myself to be fortunate too when I think of this). God loved Isaiah so much that HE HAD TO REMOVE THE BARRIER... KING UZZIAH, TO ALLOW HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH ISAIAH TO THRIVE.

    This is why I tell us always that politics and state affairs can NO LONGER thrive together. The current political terrain is no longer healthy for a consecrated believer. What we owe them is our prayers not participation, you will compromise as a matter of fact. We don't have many Daniels and Josephs today,and even if we do,they can't get there without soiling their garment of praise.

    But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king's meat, nor with the wine which he drank: therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself. (Dan 1: 8)

    7. And it came to pass after these things, that his master's wife cast her eyes upon Joseph; and she said, Lie with me.
    8. But he refused, and said unto his master's wife, Behold, my master wotteth not what is with me in the house, and he hath committed all that he hath to my hand;
    9. There is none greater in this house than I; neither hath he kept back any thing from me but thee, because thou art his wife: how then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God? (Gen 39: 7-9)

    And she caught him by his garment, saying, Lie with me: and he left his garment in her hand, and fled, and got him out. (Gen 39: 12)

    All what I have said so far is about our SELF-REALIZATION, WHOM WE ARE IN CHRIST JESUS. ARE WE SERIOUS ENOUGH WITH THAT SELF-REALIZATION TO JUMP OVER EVERY SNARE THAT THE DEVIL WILL CERTAINLY THROW ON OUR PATHS?

    When we lose the knowledge of Whom we are with God, we lose our position with God. At that point, anything can happen, and if it does happen, please don't YELL AT GOD. He has emotions. If He chooses to be angry, we can't survive it, and if He chooses to continue in His Love for, He will flog us through chastisement. I am a living testimony of this, believe it or not.

    Like I said, it seems we have to take this gradually for a better comprehension. We shall be back. There's more to say, by His Grace and Mercy !

  • Migraine is an often lifelong neurological disorder characterised by recurrent moderate to severe headaches, usually on one side of the head. Headache is a term used to describe a variety of different pain symptoms that originate from different parts of the head.

    When there’s pressure or pain in your head, it can be difficult to tell whether you’re experiencing a typical headache or a migraine attack.

    Differentiating migraine from other headache disorders, and vice versa, is important. It can mean faster relief through more targeted treatments based on the type of headache. It can also help prevent future headaches from occurring in the first place.

    So how can you tell the difference between a common headache and a migraine attack?

    What is a headache?

    Headaches are unpleasant pains in your head that can cause pressure and aching. They usually occur on both sides of your head, and the pain can range from mild to severe. Some specific areas where headaches can occur include the:

    forehead
    temples
    back of the neck

    A typical headache usually lasts between 5 minutes and 4 hours. Some migraine episodes can last for days or even longer.

    According to the World Health Organization (WHO)Trusted Source, the most common headache type is a tension headache. Triggers for this headache type include:

    stress
    anxiety
    muscle strain
    eyestrain
    Tension headaches aren’t the only type of headache

    What is a migraine?

    Migraine attacks are intense or severe and often have other symptoms in addition to head pain. Symptoms associated with migraine without aura include:

    neck and shoulder pain
    nausea
    pain behind one eye or ear
    pain in the temples
    sensitivity to light and/or sound
    vomiting
    muscle aches

    When compared with tension or other headache types, migraine pain can be moderate to severe. Some people may experience migraine attacks so severe that they seek care at an emergency room.

    Migraine episodes will typically affect only one side of the head. However, it’s possible to have a migraine episode that affects both sides of the head. Other differences include the pain’s quality. A migraine attack will cause intense pain that may be throbbing and will make performing daily tasks very difficult.

    A 2018 study found that more than 15% of adults in the United States had experienced a migraine episode or a severe headache within the last 3 months.

    Where is migraine pain located?

    Migraine pain is usually, but not always, on one side of the headTrusted Source. Depending on the type of migraine attack, the pain may be felt:

    in the temples
    in the forehead
    behind one or both eyes
    in the neck

    Is it good to sleep when you have a migraine attack?

    In studies, those with sleep disorders were more likely to have a migraine disorderTrusted Source. It’s believed that a lack of sleep can trigger migraine attacks or make them worse.

    While the research is still ongoing, it appears that sleep may play a role in migraine prevention. A 2018 review of studiesTrusted Source found that people who experience migraine attacks often report sleep as an effective therapy for migraine.

    One hypothesis is that the glymphatic system, a newly discovered waste clearance system in the brain that’s similar to the lymphatic system in the rest of the body, may be more active during sleep.

    Treating headaches

    Over-the-counter (OTC) treatments
    Most tension headaches will go away with OTC treatments. These include:

    acetaminophen
    aspirin
    ibuprofen
    Relaxation techniques
    Because some headaches are stress induced, taking steps to reduce stress can help relieve headache pain and reduce the risk of future headaches. These include:

    heat therapy, such as applying warm compresses or taking a warm shower
    massage
    meditation
    neck stretching
    relaxation exercises
    Treating migraine
    Prevention tips

    Prevention is often the best treatment for migraine episodes. Examples of preventive methods a doctor may prescribe include:

    making changes to your diet, such as eliminating foods and substances known to cause headaches, like alcohol and caffeine
    taking prescription medications, such as antidepressants, blood pressure-lowering medications, antiepileptic medications, or CGRP receptor antagonists, on a daily schedule
    taking steps to reduce stress, such as participating in relaxation techniques

Headaches are unpleasant pains in your head that can cause pressure and aching. They usually occur on both sides of your head, and the pain can range from mild to severe. Some specific areas where headaches can occur include the: forehead temples back of the neck A typical headache usually lasts between 5 minutes and 4 hours. Some migraine episodes can last for days or even longer. According to the World Health Organization (WHO)Trusted Source, the most common headache type is a tension headache. Triggers for this headache type include: stress anxiety muscle strain eyestrain Tension headaches aren’t the only type of headache What is a migraine? Migraine attacks are intense or severe and often have other symptoms in addition to head pain. Symptoms associated with migraine without aura include: neck and shoulder pain nausea pain behind one eye or ear pain in the temples sensitivity to light and/or sound vomiting muscle aches When compared with tension or other headache types, migraine pain can be moderate to severe. Some people may experience migraine attacks so severe that they seek care at an emergency room. Migraine episodes will typically affect only one side of the head. However, it’s possible to have a migraine episode that affects both sides of the head. Other differences include the pain’s quality. A migraine attack will cause intense pain that may be throbbing and will make performing daily tasks very difficult. A 2018 study found that more than 15% of adults in the United States had experienced a migraine episode or a severe headache within the last 3 months. Where is migraine pain located? Migraine pain is usually, but not always, on one side of the headTrusted Source. Depending on the type of migraine attack, the pain may be felt: in the temples in the forehead behind one or both eyes in the neck Is it good to sleep when you have a migraine attack? In studies, those with sleep disorders were more likely to have a migraine disorderTrusted Source. It’s believed that a lack of sleep can trigger migraine attacks or make them worse. While the research is still ongoing, it appears that sleep may play a role in migraine prevention. A 2018 review of studiesTrusted Source found that people who experience migraine attacks often report sleep as an effective therapy for migraine. One hypothesis is that the glymphatic system, a newly discovered waste clearance system in the brain that’s similar to the lymphatic system in the rest of the body, may be more active during sleep. Treating headaches Over-the-counter (OTC) treatments Most tension headaches will go away with OTC treatments. These include: acetaminophen aspirin ibuprofen Relaxation techniques Because some headaches are stress induced, taking steps to reduce stress can help relieve headache pain and reduce the risk of future headaches. These include: heat therapy, such as applying warm compresses or taking a warm shower massage meditation neck stretching relaxation exercises Treating migraine Prevention tips Prevention is often the best treatment for migraine episodes. Examples of preventive methods a doctor may prescribe include: making changes to your diet, such as eliminating foods and substances known to cause headaches, like alcohol and caffeine taking prescription medications, such as antidepressants, blood pressure-lowering medications, antiepileptic medications, or CGRP receptor antagonists, on a daily schedule taking steps to reduce stress, such as participating in relaxation techniques VISIT TO MORE INFORMATION: https://tinyurl.com/4vujt88h #HeadacheRelief #MigraineRelief #HeadacheFree #MigraineSupport #HeadacheHelp

  • Struggling with back pain?

    🌶Esteemed by ancient Mayan healers, cayenne was their treasured spice for both zest and wellness, a natural remedy warming the body and spirit alike.

    It's often a silent alarm for underlying issues :
    - Strained muscles
    - Pinched nerves
    - The burden of stress.

    Recognize it in persistent aches, limited mobility, or discomfort that intensifies with movement

    The Science of Spice :
    In cayenne, capsaicin latches onto TRPV1 receptors, which usually react to heat and pain.

    ️This triggers a warm sensation and the body's pain response temporarily lowers, as if it's adjusting to a benign warmth.

    🍽 Best ways to use it :
    - Mix into savory dishes for a spicy flavor boost.
    - Stir into hot beverages like tea for a warming effect.
    - Blend into creams or salves for topical pain relief.
    - Infuse in bathwater for a relaxing, soothing soak.

    When to Expect Results?
    – Gradually, with consistent use. Nature works at its own pace!

  • Introduction to Forward Head Posture:
    Forward head posture, commonly known as "text neck," is an increasingly prevalent issue in today's digital age. This condition occurs when the head is positioned forward of the body's centre line, leading to a host of problems including neck pain, back pain, and disrupted sleep. Addressing this issue is crucial for overall health and well-being.

    Understanding the Impact of Forward Head Posture:
    The consequences of forward head posture are far-reaching. It not only causes physical discomfort but also affects the alignment of the spine. This misalignment can lead to muscle imbalances, making everyday activities painful and challenging. Additionally, forward head posture can impede breathing and reduce lung capacity, further impacting one's health.

    The #1 Muscle Responsible for Fixing Forward Head Posture:
    One of the most effective ways to correct forward head posture is by focusing on strengthening and stretching the deep cervical flexor muscles. These muscles, located at the front of the neck, play a vital role in maintaining proper head and neck alignment. When these muscles are weak or tight, they contribute to the forward tilt of the head.

    Exercises to Strengthen the Deep Cervical Flexors:
    To address forward head posture, incorporating specific exercises into your routine can make a significant difference. Chin tucks are a simple yet powerful exercise that targets the deep cervical flexors. To perform a chin tuck, gently pull your chin towards your neck without tilting your head, hold for a few seconds, and release. Repeating this exercise several times daily can help realign the head and neck.

    Stretching for Better Posture:
    In addition to strengthening exercises, stretching the muscles around the neck and shoulders is essential. Neck stretches, such as tilting your head to each side and holding the stretch, can alleviate tension and improve flexibility. Ensuring that your shoulders remain relaxed during these stretches will enhance their effectiveness.

    Importance of Ergonomics in Preventing Forward Head Posture:
    Ergonomics plays a crucial role in maintaining good posture and preventing the development of forward head posture. Adjusting your workspace to ensure that your computer screen is at eye level, using an ergonomic chair, and taking regular breaks to move around can significantly reduce the strain on your neck and back.

    The Role of Sleep in Posture Correction:
    Quality sleep is essential for overall health and can also influence your posture. Ensuring that you have a supportive pillow and mattress can help maintain proper spinal alignment during sleep. Avoiding sleeping on your stomach, which can exacerbate forward head posture, is also advisable.

    Conclusion: Taking Steps Towards Better Posture:
    Addressing forward head posture requires a comprehensive approach that includes strengthening key muscles, stretching, and paying attention to ergonomics and sleep habits. By focusing on these areas, you can alleviate pain, improve your posture, and enhance your overall quality of life.
