There are 10000s of websites on nutrition and natural healing etc on the iternet and I am wondering how one finds the reliable ones, not ones trying to sell you something or scaring you half to death or even writing untrue and innacurate things about food and health. I know there are a few reputable doctors specializing in alternative medicine with websites, but what about others? Nutritionists? How do you know if its not a bunch of heresay?

You will always have to weigh what you read on the internet against common sense, your own experience, and general medicine.
My advice….Proceed with caution, and beware of any person or place, who proclaims to speak “the truth”

Does anyone know of some natural/handy health remedies to improve both your physical appearance and mental wellbeing?
I’m looking for answers such as… 8 hours sleep a night will make you look and feel fresh and reviatlised.

Answer by Kris
Try a body cleanse.

Try “Supreme Cleanse.” I do those three times a year. It makes me feel great. It’s about at Whole Foods. It’s totally natural.

I also work out for 1 hour a day. That gives me much more energy, however if you only want to do 30 minutes (min) that’d be fine too. That helps me fall asleep quicker and I generally sleep very soundly.

I keep an air purifier in my bedroom. I’ve also noticed that that has helped me sleep more soundly.

So basically, like you said – get enough sleep, BUT it needs to be good sleep so you wake refreshed. IMO your well-being revolves around how well you sleep!

GL!

I’m trying to search for former doctors who have switched to natural medicine. I’m not sure what they would be called so I don’t know how to search. I live in Northern Virginia. I have ulcerative colitis. Any help will do.

Answer by Rivera
The first thing you want to try is your local state university’s school of medicine. I live in Ohio and found a department that’s called “integrated medicine”, and because the doctor I see is a primary physician, insurance pays for the treatment—Integrated Medicine usually takes the best of natural medicine and conventional medicine. I went there because I had an eczema that didn’t want to go away, along with bad nails and various skin rashes. That doc took my blood and when I got the lab report I was amazed to see 3 pages–she had checked everything, from liver and kidney function to cholesterol, and to sodium in the body–I really was shocked. So give that a try first thing.

If you do not have a state university(or other big university with a medical facility)nearby, you could try holistic or homoepathic. Make sure though, that the ones you find do have a M.D., for that is a medical degree—this way you have a chance of insurance picking up the tab
There is a website called mydoctor.com where you can give in the city, the name or type of doctor you are looking for and hopefully that will help you find what you need.

For myself can I only tell you to try the natural approach first. I’ve done so and my health has improved dramatically—I had a vitamin A overdose and a vitamin B deficiency and of course, I have to pay the vitamins myself, but I rather take vitamins than drugs.
Good luck

Are you for natural medicine or the medicine that the doctors give you?

Which do you think is better natural or doctor given and why? People speak out about both and i want everyday people advice.

Are there any natural remedies out there for ovulating more often. I started tracking my temperature in October and have noticed I only ovulate every three months. I’ve seen my doctor, hormones are normal and the next step is the HSG procedure which I keep putting off because of expense and pain. Does anyone have any suggestions about natural remedies. I don’t have a lot of time. I’m 42.
Thanks in advance

Answer by crystal94040
Yes, taking vitex (chaste tree berry) help regulate cycles…It takes a couple months of regular use to see good results but it works and it’s safe to take until your 3 months pregnant or when your breastfeeding. The reason why they say only the first 3 months of pregnancy is because after that it can start to encourage milk production too early.

For the anxiety, I would try breathing exercises. For nausea, I believe peppermint is recommended.
