True Energy Boost

Defeat Fatigue with Vitality

The plants and mushrooms in True Energy Boost are adaptogens.  Adaptogens help your body adapt to stress and restore vitality.  Vitality lifts exhaustion and fatigue, bringing strength and vitality.

Cordyceps mushroom is one of the ingredients. Belief is that the use of these mushrooms brought about improvements in quality of life. This is in patients with chronic heart failure, kidney failure, and chronic lung disease. Cordyceps gained world attention in 1993 when Chinese female runners achieved records in 1500 m, 3000 m, and 10,000 m events.  Their coach attributed their success to a healthy diet supplemented with Cordyceps.

In this study, healthy volunteers, 50-75 years old, took either Cordyceps or a placebo for 12 weeks.  They used a stationary bike to evaluate Metabolic Threshold and Ventilation Threshold.

They were hooked up to machines to assess, but as I understand, metabolic threshold is when your muscles start to burn and ventilation threshold is when you can’t catch your breath.  In either circumstance, you have to stop pedaling.

Comparing the first test to the one at 12 weeks, the old timers that took Cordyceps were able to push their muscles 10% farther and their lungs 8.5% farther.  The old timers given a placebo continued to get older, and lost 4% and 32%, respectively.

True Energy Boost is a little more expensive than the rest of our medicines, but what is it worth to reverse the aging process!?

Each bottle is a 30 day supply, and it’s still half the cost of one Tamiflu pill.

Our vitalizing medicine also contains Reishi mushroom.  In this study, women with Fibromyalgia were given Reishi or a plant medicine known to contain powerful antioxidants.
fatigue
After 6 weeks, Reishi “significantly improved aerobic endurance, lower body flexibility, and velocity.  The women taking the other plant medicine showed now significant improvement in any physical test.”

In this study, two doses of Eleuthero and Cayenne increased fat burning by 28%.

I’ve also included both American and Korean Ginseng in True Energy Boost.

In this study, patients with chronic fatigue were given Ginseng for 4 weeks.

Compared to a placebo, Ginseng increased energy levels and recovery from fatigue 20% better.  Ginseng has also been scientifically proven to reduce wrinkles, improve dry eye syndrome,  and increase insulin sensitivity. This  means better energy production!

Studies show ginseng to increase focus and decrease ADHD symptoms in kids. It also decreases fatigue in cancer patients.

I shared all the medicines that Mother Nature offers for Cancer, in this blog.

Studies show ginseng will increase energy in medically diagnosed chronic fatigue syndrome patients, 600% more than a placebo.

Another proven benefit of Ginseng is to make men last longer (premature ejaculation), significantly, by the way, and significantly increase female sexual arousal.

Geez, it sure sounds like God offered a plant that increases thriving and expanding.  Significantly.  True Health offers the most carefully harvested and extracted version of thriving and expanding in our online store.

I would have called it True Vitality Boost, but people don’t seem to search for vitality, however many search for energy, so I named it by “google search counts” so you could more easily find it.

 

 

 

Proven Relief for Symptoms of High Blood Sugar and Hypoglycemia Symptoms

Natural Remedies For Diabetes

Diabetes, Gestational Diabetes, and Metabolic Syndrome cause symptoms of high blood sugar.  When blood sugar rises, you feel tired or sleepy. With Hypoglycemia symptoms, or low blood sugar,  one tends to feel shaky and irritable, then anxious, and finally panic attacks.

I created a 7 minute video describing the approaches that various health care models use, including Western Medicine, Clinical Nutrition, Functional Medicine, and Eastern Medicine. (1)

Keep reading to discover one of my favorite home remedies for diabetes that dramatically reduced blood sugar in a group of diabetic patients!

If you can maintain a reasonable diet, these home remedies for diabetes and hypoglycemia symptoms will offer the help you are looking for.  Here is my version of a reasonable diet.  I bet it’s more relaxed than yours.

Natural Remedies for Diabetes, Gestational Diabetes, and Hypoglycemia Symptoms.

Acupressure and acupuncture points are used to stimulate and shift body and organ function.  You can use your fingers to push or tap these points.  Natural remedies for diabetes One of the most frequently used acupressure points is Stomach 36, or ST-36.

In this study, a group of diabetic patients received acupressure to ST-36.  Blood sugar levels were monitored for 10 weeks, and compared to a similar group not receiving acupressure.”

The ST-36 group started with an average blood sugar of 351, while the control group averaged 261.  By week 6, ST-36 averaged 168, but the control group slightly worsened with an average of 267.  At week 10, the ST-36 group averaged 113 and the control group averaged 287.  (2)

The ST-36 group received 30 minutes of acupressure 1-3X per week, depending on the severity of symptoms.  There were only 15 people in each group, but it’s harmless to try.  Rather than sit and massage for 30 minutes, I’d just slip these acupressure leg bands on while I sleep!

In my clinic, True Health, I use acupressure and plant medicines. By using these, it has allowed us to heal everything from Allergies to Yeast Infections.

gestational diabetesTrue Blood Sugar Control is the best medicine I have found for relieving symptoms of high blood sugar and hypoglycemia symptoms.

True Blood Sugar Control features a plant called Rehmannia which is proven to improve insulin resistance.

There are 38 published studies on Rehmannia’s effects on blood sugar control, including the improvement of insulin resistance in Type 2 Diabetic animal models. (3)

diabetes

This study is a review of published clinical trials, which concluded that Rehmannia is, in fact, scientifically validated for use with Diabetes and high blood pressure. (4)

Rehmannia has no known side effects, but it appears to have some side benefits!

Rehmannia and Eleuthero, aka “Siberian Ginseng,” also effectively relieved knee pain and improved knee function in osteoarthritic patients. (5) Therefore, lets take a look at the comparison of two treatments for diabetes.

Metformin, the number one drug for diabetes, may cause stomach pain, gas, and headaches.  True Blood Sugar Control may cause relief of arthritis pain.

Our culture has forgotten our healing traditions in favor of Profit and Pharmaceuticals.  Prior to Big Pharma and Billion Dollar drugs, Ginseng was of high value, just like Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh.  Maybe you recall that story?

Gold, Frankincense, and Myrrh were gifts to Jesus, by three wise men.  Gold for security.  Frankincense is for injury and pain relief, while Myrrh is one of the strongest antibiotics for infections.

Ginseng was often reserved for royalty, and regarded for its gift of vitality, strenth, and virilityEleuthero is a plant that grows in the harsh conditions of Siberia.  Eleuthero received the nickname Siberian Ginseng because of  it’s vitalizing and strengthening effects.  Plus eleuthero has been studied for it’s effects on Diabetes.

Eleuthero enhances glucose utilization and lowers blood glucose level in rats with insulin deficiency diabetes, which suggest that this plant may be useful in the treatment of human diabetes.” (6)

True Blood Sugar Control includes the gentle healing of Bilberry.  Researchers concluded that “Bilberry significantly lowered blood sugar levels before and after eating, and HbA1c without any significant adverse effects on the liver/kidney function, compared to a placebo.” ()

Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) measures your blood sugar averaged over 2-3 months.

natural remedies for diabetesBurdock has been used for symptoms of high blood sugar and hypoglycemia symptoms for 3000 years!

Researchers tested Burdock on animal models with diabetes and concluded, “Burdock helps the body produce insulin naturally and improves insulin resistance, with no side effects.”  (8)

Fenugreek significantly lowered blood sugar, before and after eating, and hemoglobin A1c.  Fenugreek represents an attractive new candidate for treatment of type 2 diabetes, obesity,  high cholesterol, and metabolic syndrome.”  (9, 10)

Several studies have reported the blood sugar regulating attributes of Gymnema, including a clinical trial that reported a statistically significant reduction in body weight, and reduced BMI.  (11, 12)

Cinnamon. By looking at the chart below,  I bet you can SEE and understand the value and virtue of cinnamon for treating Metabolic Syndrome.
metabolic syndrome
SBP= Systolic Blood Pressure  DBP=Diastolic Blood Pressure  FBG=Fasting Blood Glucose TG=Triglycerides HDL=Good Cholesterol WC=Waist Circumference

Conditions and symptoms of high blood sugar are strongly associated with those lab markers.  Therefore, Cinnamon is a perfect medicine for Diabetes and Metabolic Syndrome!

Do you struggle with imperfection, like Dr. Stone?  Because Chromium is an amazing pay-off for binge eating.  Conclusion: “The people taking Chromium showed an  improvement in blood sugar control, even while binging, while the placebo group continued to worsen.” (13)

Binge eating disorder (BED) is a severe, life-threatening,  eating disorder. It has recurrent episodes of eating large quantities of food (often very quickly and to the point of discomfort). Patients note a feeling of a loss of control during the binge; while experiencing shame, distress or guilt afterwards.”   -NationalEatingDisorders.org

I gave up feeling shame or guilt for my indulgences.  After 269 straight Mondays of thinking  “this time, I would make it”, only to fail by midweek, I gave up.  Sometimes it would happen by lunch on Monday.  (My greatest challenge was chewing tobacco!)

Now I enjoy my indulgences guilt free and pay them off with True Blood Sugar, or True Detox if my indulgence is alcohol.  We must be reasonable though, so I created True Addiction Relief for out of control behavior, and easily quit tobacco and candy crush.

Herbal Medicine First AidTrue Calm is proven to resolve anxiety.  It is also our favorite sleep medicine for kids.

True Sleep is proven to resolve insomnia better than Ambien.

But not the insomnia characterized by waking up through the night.  That medicine is True Stress Resilience.  Take 10 drops if you wake up through the night or wake up in the morning feeling groggy.  If 10 drops doesn’t get you through the next night, take 20 drops the next morning.  If you still wake up or wake up groggy, take 30 drops, then 40 drops, etc.

Stress Resilience needs your help though.  You must hold boundaries!  I teach some methods on our Resource Page…”The Five Energy Needs.”

Are you an allergy sufferer?

Goodness, allergies ruled my life until I formulated True Allergy Relief.  It was a piece at a time, so my relief took years!  Your’s can take 2 days.  One of my patients shared her True Allergy Relief with her skeptical husband, because he forgot his allergy medicines on a vacation.  After just a weekend, he was convinced, and traded 3 allergy meds for one True Allergy Relief.

Be ready for colds and flu with True Cold and Flu Relief.  Proven to be 400% more effective than Tamiflu, and it works for strep throat, bronchitis, and sinus infections, as well as for colds and the flu!  I cannot recollect anyone who has been disappointed with True Cold and Flu Relief.

True Clear Skin is amazing for poison ivy and acne.  My eldest, Savannah, was super allergic to poison ivy.  Her misery led to the formulation of this medicine, and not only did it work fast, it seemed to decrease her sensitivity to it.

True Mood Lift is proven to be 70% more effective than Paxil for depression.

True Wound Mend and True Pain Relief are our topical and internal NSAIDs.  Nature’s version of Prednisone and Advil, without the side effects.

True Energy Boost is our five hour energy formula.  I used it to live on 4 hours of sleep trying to get Mother Nature noticed through developing this website, for nearly a year.  I didn’t tire, with the help of passion and True Energy Boost, but I started having memory problems.  That led me to develop a Dementia Protocol, which included more sleep, and I haven’t misplaced my car in almost 2 years.  Lol.

True Bladder Relief is for people prone to bladder infections.  Our last office manager was a woman, and she sold more of this home remedy than me.  She had friends who complained, and she gave them this medicine, and most times they felt relief within a day, often just a few hours.

True PMS Relief, and True Menopause Ease are for when being a woman hurts.  One patient used PMS Relief for a few months, and her cycle has been comfortable for 3 years running.

True Digest Ease is for when you ate something that didn’t agree with you.  Or, as the bible suggests, “When you feast on bread and meat, don’t forget your bitters.  Herbal Bitters stimulate digestion and a hunger for life.  True Heartburn Relief is Nature’s version of Prilosec or Tums.

If you have shingles or cold sores, we have relief.  True Shingles Heal has resolved shingles flare ups in hours to days.  I cannot recollect a single disappointed patient.

Hemorrhoids or varicose veins?  True Vessel Care should be one of your home remedies.

If you struggle with yeast infection, True Yeast Relief even clears systemic candida infections over time.

True Lymph and GI Cleanse are home remedies for poisoning.  Maybe you ate something that had “gone bad,” or for spider or insect bites.  Once a patient was bitten by a spider while blueberry picking.  That evening, she had the black streak of sepsis (blood poisoning).  She searched the internet and found horror stories of giant ulcerations, while I searched my resources and found this blend.  We gave it to her hourly until bedtime, and morning brought healing instead of ulceration.  The black streak was gone!

I didn’t really like Nature because of my allergies, but I was willing to try anything to heal myself and my patients.  Turns out that Mother Nature is the best medicine for healing.  It’s inexpensive, and works far better than pharmaceuticals.  Research has shown that to be a fact.

I realize that a TRILLION dollar business suggests that nature is useless and potentially harmful.  Bold words from the third leading cause of death.  When I was writing this website, I checked the facts myself.  I couldn’t find a single death caused by plant medicines.  Oh, there are some poisonous plants, but common sense tells you that you should not take something that could kill you as medicine.

Somatoform Disorder Responds to Mother Nature

Somatoform disorder is a group of psychological disorders…

…in which a patient experiences physical symptoms that are inconsistent with or cannot be fully explained by any underlying general medical or neurologic condition.” (Medscape)

Yes, that is the nice way of saying “head case,” but I happen to have this condition.  I learned how to properly care for and control it. This study scientifically proves that nature offers even the most “sensitive” of us comfort. Regardless of what big pharma says, it is possible.

This study was published in 2009.  It offers help to people that don’t fit in the medical model.  Due to difficult language, I willingly offer the interpretation of medical terminology.

Somatoform disorder affects 6.3% of our population, and it affects women more frequently than men.

In Germany, plant medicines that True Health offers in True Calm are used to treat Somatoform disorder.  In addition, these plants are valid treatment for Somatoform disorder in Switzerland and recognized as such.  By this, we understand  that  means they are medical protocol and widely accepted.

The researchers in this study wanted to test the safety and efficacy of these plant medicines for Somatoform disorder. They chose to do this in a double blind, placebo controlled, clinical trial.  Conducting this type of trial is the highest form of scientific validation.

They reviewed the literature, and found these plants proven in lab studies to decrease inflammation, relax muscular contraction, and decrease allergic sensitivity.  They also found these plants proven in human studies to decrease anxiety and improve cognitive function. 

One of the plants in the study proved in humans to work as effectively as a pharmaceutical tranquilizer for Psychovegetative Syndrome.  This condition is defined as “a sickly condition with a heavy racing heart, headaches, sensitivities to cold, sweating, nausea, dizziness, depression, fear, anxiety, irritability, insomnia, and apathy, where after careful medical inspection, the patient is absolutely healthy.” (Medical Encyclopedia)

One hundred eighty patients with Somatoform disorder  made up the group for the study. Each group consisted of sixty patients.  Placebo.  True Calm.  True Calm + True Heart Health. In this study, they all received identical tablets that they took three times per day for two weeks.

At the end of two weeks,  patients answered standardized questionnaires in regards to anxiety and depression. They also completed a patient self assessment scored on a five point scale, with zero indicating complete resolution, and 4 indicating no help.

In regards to the questionnaires, the researchers defined a “positive response” as a greater than 50% improvement.

The RESULTS were as follows:

Anxiety scores  showed a reduction of 61% in the Calm + Heart group, 45% in the Calm group, and 3% in the placebo group.  As a result, it is clear Mother Nature offers assistance in dealing with anxiety.

Depression scores showed a reduction of 58% in the Calm + Heart group, 33% in the Calm group, and 8% in the placebo group.

The RESULTS from self evaluations were:

In the Calm + Heart group, 48% said a significant improvement, in some cases cured. Calm alone dropped to 11%.  Placebo scored 1%.  16% of the Calm + Heart group said it didn’t help at all.  26% of the Calm alone agreed.  And 83% of the placebo group knew they received little to no help.

A Positive Response rated as 71% in the Calm + Heart group, 36% in the Calm group, and 16% in the placebo group.

Researchers chose to end the study with a Discussion.  “These plant medicines were found to have significant efficacy and no serious side effects in the treatment of Somatoform disorder.”  

We don’t understand this disorder, but for the patient’s sake, and the doctor’s, any intervention that offers results seems necessary, with the high prevalence of this disease.”  Essentially, if it works, use it.

The speed at which Mother Nature works as well as the low improvement rate of the placebos surprised the researchers.

They described the actions of True Calm and True Heart Health as, “increasing relaxation and ease, and combating the effects of overwhelm.

Yes, it is overwhelming to have this disease. However, Mother Nature gives relief in a scientific manner. If you are willing to give Mother Nature a try,  you can get True Calm Here, and True Heart Health Here.  Science says you should take both, if you feel too intensely.

I posted a blog about all the virtues of True Calm here.
