Everyone blushes, but for some people their lives can be dominated with trying to prevent it. The fear of involuntary blushing impacts the daily life of more people than you would think. It is a very common characteristic of social anxiety. It is rarely spoken about by those who struggle with it because attention to it could lead to it. Biologically, it is a result of the activity of the sympathetic nervous system (activates bodies response to danger). Blood vessels near the skin dilate and the increase in blood flow reddens the face. Typically fear redirects blood flow from the skin and extremities to skeletal muscles but the opposite seems to happen with blushing. Why this happens is not clear.

Everyone blushes and typically this is a result of embarrassment, surprise, modesty, or shame. However, for some people there is no clear reason for it to happen. This painfully unpredictable disorder is called Idiopathic Craniofacial Erythema (ICE). The phobia of blushing is called Erythrophobia. Because reddening of the face can be quite visible (depending on natural skin coloration), someone who is socially anxious might connect blushing with the possibility of embarrassing attention and so it becomes part of their anxiety.

It may be for others that the biological tendency to blush easily is first and then anxiety about it follows. When anxiety associates with blushing then the anxiety activates the sympathetic nervous system and that causes blushing and so a self-reinforcing cycle forms. This can be debilitating as people avoid any circumstance that might lead to blushing. This is often social because it is one of those things that people seem to feel free to comment upon, “Wow, your face is so red! Why is your face red?” Research shows that verbal feedback like this increases blushing. Fearing or expecting to blush can be a self-fulfilling prophecy. Often the anxiety starts in childhood because kids are more likely to comment about it.

Here is a working list of suggestions for treatment that I have found in various places.

1. Task concentration training (TCT) appears to be most effective treatment based on research I found. The theory is that anxiety and blushing cause an inward focus thus increasing subjective awareness of feelings, thoughts and symptoms. This increases the blush response as well as anxiety. Training in outward focus (a similar treatment is effective with athletes) has been proven to be the most effective approach even after a year. This article has a good summary of the process although it is a bit technical.
2. Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy. More specifically that would mean examining and revising beliefs (cognitive) about blushing. Also, it would involve behaving differently. Rather than avoiding it could mean voluntarily exposing yourself to a fearful situation. A number of suggestions I found fall under this treatment:

   • Activate the counterbalancing part of your nervous system (parasympathetic) by relaxing and breathing differently. This has to be practiced at some length before it will be effective.
   • Draw attention to it rather than hiding it. This paradox, as hard as it seems, works with anxiety. Many people with social anxiety mistakenly think that disclosing anxiety is worse than hiding it.
   • Accept it rather than resist it. Accept that at this point you are a person who blushes easily and that is simply the way it is. You may wish it was different but it is what it is.
   • Revise what you imagine other people are thinking. Collect some data. Ask some people what they think. What would a friend tell you about it? Explain it to people. Research suggests that blushing-fearful people inflate the both the probability it will happen and the social cost of blushing. In other words, they think it is way worse than it is and that others are thinking more critically than they are.
   • Practice the symptom. Try to make yourself blush by creating the circumstances. Do that over and over on purpose. You can do this gradually or all at once. This process is called systematic desensitization or exposure.
   • Reframe the meaning of blushing. Historical evidence demonstrates that redness of cheeks is a sign of beauty and youth as well as markers of modesty and charm. As an expression of shame or embarrassment that can be very positive depending on the context.
3. Some sites suggest hypnosis. I couldn’t find any research support but there are a number of personal stories or single cases that showed improvement on the web.
4. Medication. Some people experience relief with medications that treat anxiety. Typically these are medication like Celexa, Prozac, Zoloft and other similar medications. Medications like Xanax, Klonopin and other benzodiazepines are sometimes prescribed. Sometime blood pressure medications such as beta blockers can be effective. A few sites suggest that botox may be helpful. Consult your physician for more information about this treatment.
5. There is a surgical operation available for severe cases. It is called Endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy. Frequently this is used to treat severe sweating but there appear to be cases that have been effective for blushing.
6. A dermatologist should be consulted if this problem exists to rule out any underlying disorders.

It seems that there has been an increase in research and treatment options in the last 10 years. This is hopeful for those struggling with this.

Demand for alternate sources of energy has been increasing day by day. In addition to Titanium and Zirconium, the radiometric surveys do primarily concern with the search for Uranium, Thorium, and Potassium. There are about fifty naturally occurring radioactive isotopes. The instruments which are used to explore the radioactive minerals, do display the number of counts of emissions over a fixed period of time. The standard unit of gamma radiation is the Roentgen (R), which does correspond to the quantity of radiation which produces about 2X10 power 15 pairs of ions per cubic meter at standard temperature and pressure. The radiation anomalies would be expressed in terms of micro roentgen per hour. Geiger-Muller counter, Scintillometer, Gamma-ray spectrometer, radon – emanometer, etc are the major instruments being used to survey for the radioactive minerals.

When compared to other instruments, the Geiger-muller counter is cheaper and easier to use, but its use is limited to ground surveys only as it does respond only to beta ray emissions. The detecting chemical elements such as argon, water vapor, and alcohol or methane are kept in a sealed glass tube.

The scintillometer is most efficient and useful to measure the gamma radiation. The mechanism is that certain chemical substances such as thallium treated sodium iodide and lithium drifted germanium do convert gamma rays to light energy hence they scintillate.

Radon is the gaseous radioactive element. It does not form compounds with other elements and hence moves through several types of structural features such as faults, joints, and also through the pore spaces underground either as a single gaseous element or dissolved in the underground water bodies. Radon is a product of the radioactive disintegration or decay of Uranium hence it is a useful guide to detect deeper deposits of uranium. The radon – emanometer is also being used for mapping structural features such as faults which facilitate for the transportation of radon formed at great depths.

Most of the radiometric surveys are being done from the air. The radiometric data should be supplemented by the data collected from magnetic and electromagnetic surveys. Depending upon the size of the deposits the speed of the helicopters can be altered. The height of the flight is usually about a hundred meters. The collected data is generally interpreted in qualitative terms.

The radiometric surveys are also highly useful in geological mapping processes as different lithological differences can be identified based upon the variations in their radioactive signatures.

A lot of people are aware that aromatherapy can provide a wide range of benefits that can improve the present health condition of a person. In major places like United States and England for example, they would regard the benefits of aromatherapy as something which is very much related to alternative medicine techniques. While on the other hand, those countries which accept aromatherapy as part of their medical procedure would regulate them the way they would do with their medical practices.

Here are the top 10 benefits that aromatherapy can give, read along and you will be pleased on how much it can help:

Benefit # 1: Aromatherapy Helps The Medical Field

In France, this method is use in order to complement the traditional medical practices which they would normally do to address the need of their body. In this place, essential oils are given by physician in order to target harmful organisms which can lead to viral, bacterial, or fungal infections. On the other hand, in United States they would make use of the scents in order to alleviate symptoms of illnesses. This is why a lot of people are familiar with products like Vicks or Halls cough drops that effectively relieve clogged sinuses as well as throats. Aromatic chemicals compounds like eucalyptus and menthol can lessen symptoms associated to colds.

Benefit # 2: Aromatherapy as Stress Reliever

When one mention aromatherapy, the first thing that will ring in one’s ear is that it can relieve everyday stress. Aromatherapy is mostly given in order to lessen symptoms of stress among people. A good example of this is the basil oil which is normally given to calm down the effects of depression.

Benefit # 3: Aromatherapy and Behavior

It has been shown that aromatherapy can improve the condition of the mind hence giving some effect to the behavior of a person. According to study conducted among mice, the animal tend to become calm the moment they were exposed to aroma of sandalwood, lavender, and other oils sprayed on them while they became extremely irritable when exposed to thymol, orange terpines, and other aromas.

Benefit # 4: Aromatherapy Can Improve Sleep

A study shows that elderly people were able to “sleep like babies” the time when they were exposed to lavender aroma. These people are suffering from sleep difficulty disorder and had to consume sleeping pills in order to get to sleep before the use of the scented oil.

Benefit # 5: Aromatherapy Relieves Postpartum Discomfort

A study conducted to 635 women shows that postpartum discomfort can highly lessen during the 3rd or the 5th when a woman would apply lavender oil into their perineal area (between the vagina and the rectum)

Benefit # 6: Aromatherapy Heals Colds

It has been noted that consuming chicken soup when you are suffering from colds can highly improve one’s condition. Now, there was a further study that was conducted in order to find out whether the effect of chicken soup is because of the action of the hot steam on the nostrils or if it is the aroma of the chicken soup that can actually cure the colds away. The results indicate that it is because of the steam hence suggesting the effectiveness of aroma.

Benefit # 7: Aromatherapy Improves Male Sexual Response

It has been observed that Circulation to the male sexual organ was substantially improved by means of the treatment of licorice or lavender together with pumpkin pie. Doughnut that contains black licorice is also known to be effective. Men that are known to be sexually active responded greatly to cola, lavender, as well as oriental spice while on the other hand older males would rather go for the fragrance of vanilla. This clearly states that aromatherapy is an efficient therapy to address the problem of male impotency.

Benefit # 8: Aromatherapy makes a Person more Alert

It has been shown that people who were exposed to rosemary were able to have a decrease in frontal alpha and beta power which simply suggest that there is an increased in alertness. Furthermore, they also experienced lower anxiety levels and they can perform math computations faster.

A lot of people would make use of clove bud which is a very potent essential oil in reducing bodily pain. Be sure to use the oil with care and don’t forget to dilute it first if you wish to use it for massage or as a lotion.

Benefit # 10: Aromatherapy Heal Wounds

You can make use of tea tree oil to clean the wound first then apply essential oil helichrysum in areas near the wound but not on the wound itself in order to promote healing faster and safer. Keep in mind that the faster the wound heals the lesser scarring will take place.

I have been doing a lot of research on different Network Marketing opportunities. I have stumbled across something that I think is an awesome opportunity that offers an awesome product. It is called eXfuze Super Seven. I am writing this post strictly for your benefit on researching a good Network Marketing opportunity. You will get a detailed eXfuze Seven review. Let’s start with a short company introduction.

Now eXfuze Seven is a fairly new company to the Network Marketing Industry, which is good because that means it’s market is not saturated. You will not have to worry about talking to prospects that already are apart of eXfuze Seven. Even though that it is a new company, eXfuze Seven has outstanding leadership.

eXfuze Seven originated when Founder Rick Cotton plan to construct a company that provides top of the line products that are competitively priced while offering people from all social status and economic backgrounds the ability to become an entrepreneur. Co-founder Don Cotton joined his brother’s vision and together they created eXfuze.

Now that you know the history of eXfuze Seven Plus, I am going to explain the product itself. eXfuze is one of the new super food companies that market super juices for health and vitality. Their main product streams consist of Seven + and Seven + Pro. These products are extracts of special and rare fruits which are blended together in a special way. In fact, this is where the company name comes from as “eX” stands form extracts, while “Fuze” stands for the fusion or the blending of these extracts.

They contain mixed extracts of seven fruits – the Gac fruit that contains 70 times more lycopene than tomatoes, the Acai berry from the Amazon Rain Forests, the Goji berry that is noted for 19 amino acids and Beta Carotene, the Noni berry is noted for Beta Carotene, All of the B Vitamins and C, the Fucoidan has a nutritional breakdown that closely resembles the vitamins and minerals found in mother’s milk which contains strong antioxidants, immune support, detoxifiers, etc., the Mangosteen that is loaded with Xanthones and antioxidants and Seabuckthorn. The plus sign stands for additional ingredients in the form of Pomegranate, Wild blue berries, Aloe Vera and Concord grapes. The company claims that by drinking its products, you will be able to strengthen your immune system as well as you will be able to strengthen your memory and concentration.

The product is sold at $ 45 for a 25 oz bottle and if you are a distributor, you are able to buy it at $ 30. You automatically make a profit of $ 15 dollars for selling 1 bottle of exfuze. The juice is also the lowest cost per serving of any juice on the market. The suggested serving portion which is.75oz compare to their competitors which is 2 to 3oz daily. This of course is in direct relatinoship of the potency of the product.

Also, the company offers one of the most aggressive preferred customer programs on the market. The company pays out 55% each week, wit no breakage, and that is excluding the fast start bonus that is paid upon bring on a new distributor. The actual payout is closer to 57-58% each week.

And know let’s talk about marketing, if you are just planning to sell them to your family and friends, you won’t be able to get very far. However, if you use social networking, along with SEO (Search Engine Optimization) techniques, you will be able to make some money Marketing is the most important thing that you can learn how to do for your business. If you want to do Network Marketing full-time I strongly recommend that you leverage the power of the Internet to market your business.

You will not have to rely on your warm market (friends, family, etc.) to grow your business. You can actually even sell your product to people in other countries. Harnessing the power on Internet Marketing literally allows you to make money while doing all sorts of other things.

The people that provide the most value to other people are ultimately going to get the most value in return whether it be in profits, leads, etc.

The Zero Point Energy Wand uses Zero Point Energy and Negative Ions to help your body heal itself.

The Zero Point Energy Wand is a natural energy generating device. The energy created rejuvenates molecular structures in all liquids. The molecular structure causes any liquid to become more hydratious, to taste much better, and it extends shelf life. Placed in a fridge, the Zero Point Energy Wand’s energy frequency permeates the fridge; all liquids, fruits and meats will taste better, and have an extended shelf life! The renewed molecular chains that are created are similar to those found in healthy natural spring water.

What is the Zero Point Energy Wand Wand made of?

Technically engineered natural minerals are structurally bonded together and fused at a molecular level, through the use of several high heat fusion methods. This combination of minerals and fusion techniques produces a catalytic conversion of energy, which develops a long lasting natural resonance having the ability to be transferred to any liquid, renewing the natural molecular chains.

How does the Zero Point Energy Wand work?

The beta rhythm frequency spins at a counter clockwise direction, and like other energy

waves, it influences inert objects.

As an example, a magnetic field can influence metal objects, and an x-ray can influence film strip. Likewise, beta rhythms at the correct frequency and spin velocity will influence liquid.

What kind of minerals are in the Zero Point Energy Wand?

The body of the Zero Point Energy Wand contains eleven minerals locked into it by high heat fusion techniques, and is technically engineered. Each mineral grain has its own individual shape and size that when combined with the other minerals, through a catalytic conversion, generates the spinning resonance we call chi energy.

How does the energy transfer to the water using the Zero Point Energy Wand?

The Zero Point Energy Wand energy spins into the liquid, counter clockwise, or the liquid can be poured over the Nano Wand where it picks up the resonance. This resonance that is generated is similar to that which is found in many healing spring waters of the world. At the moment, scientists can’t understand why liquids behave differently and positively in the energy field. There has been much research that is now focused on this fact. Since 70% of our bodies are made from water and it’s important to nourish the body with the correct molecular structured water.

What are the benefits of the Zero Point Energy Wand?

These molecular structures in liquids allow the taste buds to recognize only the taste we enjoy. Any wine, alcohol, coffee, tea or fruit juice’s flavor will be enhanced when the Zero Point Energy Wand treats the liquid. Any food we consume with water treated with the Zero Point Energy Wand will always taste better!

Mixing this nanonized water with a beverage greatly reduces the effects of tannins and acidity in the body. When medicine or food is combined with water treated with the Zero Point Energy Wand, the nutritional benefits are therefore amplified by enhanced cellular absorption.

Our bodies can absorb liquefied oxygen very quickly, which enhances internal organ functions, and adds to the blood energy levels. This is a huge benefit that is important for workers and athletes who have to maintain a very high immune system under physical stress.

When you drink wanded water, the bloods oxygen levels will increase. This can be measured using a Prognos, Medec, or simple blood sampler. The reason for the wellness of the Zero Point Energy Wand treated water drinkers, will be that they increased their energy levels while raising their immune systems.

Your body can take up other essential minerals from Zero Point Energy treated water. Our body’s molecular structure will rapidly absorb nutrients found in the wanded water’s molecular structure, and our body’s molecular structure via our D.N.A. will link with the water’s mineral molecules. Thus properly feeding the body cells with essential minerals. Since the water’s molecular structure does not break down due to wanding, it can also absorb cellular waste! This includes cholesterol and excess calcium, improved bowel movements and the dissolving of kidney stones, reduced cholesterol levels, and gaining a general detoxification of the body which verifies this. The individual minerals like calcium can be taken up by the body cells as required.

You can have quicker and stronger nail and hair growth, and a greater resistance to tooth decay that is visibly seen. When water is treated with the Zero Point Energy Wand and then used in conjunction with any supplements, they can be absorbed much more quickly and efficiently, and effectively by the body’s cells. This is a healthier body by far.

10 and 20 year old pains are saying goodbye in minutes these last 3 weeks around the country for many. Pets walking normal again with vim and vigor! Migrains saying goodbye.

Over the past two decades, the cannabis plant, commonly known as marijuana, has been a subject of interest in the medical community. In some states, medical marijuana is already available for certain conditions. Its efficacy as a pain reliever has been well-established. Although cannabis is most often associated with relieving cancer pain and loss of appetite, its analgesic qualities could prove promising for people with back pain, fibromyalgia and a number of other chronic pain conditions.

How Does Cannabis Relieve Pain?

Much like the opioid receptor system in the body that allows endorphins to have their pleasant, pain-relieving effects, the body also has a cannabinoid receptor system. There are three kinds of cannabinoids: endocannabinoids (made by the body), phytocannabinoid (made by marijuana plants) and synthetic cannabinoids produced in a laboratory.

The cannabis plant contains a number of cannabinoids, each with its own qualities. The three most important components for this discussion are tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), cannabidiol (CBD), and beta-caryophyllene. THC is a mild pain reliever and the main psychoactive component of marijuana. CBD reduces spasms, inflammation, nausea and anxiety. Beta-caryophellene is a strong anti-inflammatory cannabinoid, and is found in highest concentration in cannabis essential oils.

Research

The most recent theory on fibromyalgia suggests that the brains of its sufferers process pain abnormally, or that excessive pain signals are sent to the brain. Increasing the amount of cannabinoids available to the body can help to counteract the pain of fibrmyalgia. A small study, whose results were published in the April, 2011 issue of PLoS One, showed fibromyalgic cannabis users to report significant reductions in pain and stiffness. A full summary can be viewed at http://www.cannabis-med.org/studies/ww_en_db_study_show.php?s_id=319.

Chronic back pain often involves inflammation, muscle spasms and/or nerve pain. Cannabis has been shown to relieve all of these symptoms, though studies into neuropathic pain relief have been most prominent. A small study led by Mark Ware, MD, tested the effects of cannabis with varying THC potencies on pain relief. Those who received the highest potency, 9.4%, reported significantly reduced pain. Read more about this study at http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-11110798.

Some sources estimate that street marijuana contains 10-15% THC, more than needed for pain management. This may answer an important question for those considering medical marijuana: Do I have to get high? The answer is no. Since THC is the main psychoactive component in marijuana, reducing its levels and increasing the levels of CBD will result in fewer psychological effects while still relieving pain. There are clinics in states that allow medical marijuana that offer strains of high-CBD, low-THC cannabis.

The Debate

Marijuana is classified as an illicit substance, which has created a stigma around it. More and more, science is discovering the therapeutic effects of this plant, and even working to synthesize its cannabinoids in the lab. Until the safety of the synthetic compounds is supported by solid evidence, however, referring to nature’s source is most advisable.

Some are concerned about the potential of dependence associated with drugs. However, many accepted prescriptions pain medications, including opioids, are highly addictive. Cannabis has actually been shown to limit opioid dependence. Aside from habitual addiction, which is a concern with any medication, there is no indication that cannabis poses dependency issues. A host of other damaging health effects associated with common pain-killers, such as stomach, kidney and liver damage, as well as overdose, are not associated with marijuana use.

The most popular method of use for cannabis is smoking. Lung and throat irritation are valid concerns for people who are considering medical marijuana for prolonged pain management. Further research is needed to assess the efficacy of cannabis administered orally or through a ventilator.

As with any pain medication, cannabis is not the cure for a painful condition. Rather, it is a useful tool for pain management that should be used to temporarily alleviate symptoms while pursuing a treatment plan that attacks the source of your pain.

Pawpaw (Scientific name: Carica papaya) is a tasty, highly delicious and nutritious fruit grown extensively in the tropical regions. The typical ripe pawpaw fruit has a greenish yellow outer skin with an orange hue and yields to gentle thumb pressure. When cut open, you find the delicious orange pulp as well as several black seeds occupying the central hollow cavity. Among other fruits, pawpaw stands out for the numerous medicinal benefits ranging from reducing the risk of life-threatening medical conditions like hypertension, diabetes and cancer to aiding digestion and improving wound healing. These vital benefits can be attributed to the high levels of phytonutrients, vitamins, minerals and fibres contained in pawpaw. Furthermore, even the seeds are not a waste because they are said to have antiparasitic, analgesic (pain-relieving) and anti-inflammatory properties, hence their use in the treatment of certain conditions like ringworm infestation and stomach ache.

Highlighted below are some of the amazing health benefits pawpaw has to offer:

Aids digestion

Research has shown that pawpaw fruit enhances digestion and keeps your digestive tract healthy. One medium-sized pawpaw contains about 4.7g of fibre. Hence, the high-fibre and water content helps you to move bowel regularly thereby reducing the likelihood of constipation. In addition, pawpaw contains a proteolytic enzyme, papain which helps to break down protein in ingested food and facilitates digestion. Understandably, papain has also been prepared in tablet form and is taken orally for the treatment of digestive problems like chronic indigestion and bloating.

Reduces Cancer Risk

Pawpaw is one fruit that is particularly rich in Vitamins C, E and beta carotenes, all of which are good antioxidants that help to mop up harmful free radicals in the body and consequently reduce the chances of developing cancer. According to a study conducted by the Harvard School of Public Health, beta carotene found in pawpaw was said to protect against prostate cancer. Similarly, a decrease in the incidence of colon cancer was observed among a Japanese population who consumed beta carotene in pawpaw.

Improves Wound Healing

One medium-sized pawpaw provides about 224% of the daily requirements of Vitamin C, which is needed in the formation of collagen, an extracellular matrix protein that provides structural integrity to the skin and enhances wound healing. Also, the proteolytic enzymes (papain and chymopapain) found in pawpaw have been shown to promote wound healing and prevent infection in patients with skin burns following topical application of mashed pawpaw.

Improves Eye Health

Research has revealed that sufficient intake of fruits tends to reduce the risk and progression of age-related macular degeneration. More still, zeaxanthin an antioxidant found in pawpaw protects from blue light rays which may harm the eyes. Furthermore, pawpaw is an excellent source of Vitamin A which is essential for healthy eyes and vision. Note that Vitamin A deficiency causes night blindness.

Boosts Penile Erection

It has been discovered that an amino acid, Arginine found in pawpaw has its place in the treatment of Erectile Dysfunction. An important enzyme, Nitric Oxide Synthase acts on arginine to produce Nitric Oxide (NO) which then acts through complex pathways to dilate the blood vessels and relax the smooth muscles of the penis, thereby boosting blood flow to the reproductive organ. Sildenafil (Viagra), a common drug employed in the treatment of erectile dysfunction also acts along this pathway.

Reduces risk of Heart Diseases

Pawpaw is a good source of potassium which helps to control the heart rate, dilate blood vessels and regulate blood pressure, thereby offering some protection from cardiovascular complications. Also pawpaw is a rich source of powerful antioxidants like beta carotenes, Vitamins C and E, lycopene all of which help to protect against free radical injury to blood vessels. It’s been shown that free radical injury is involved in the process of atherosclerosis which leads to plaque buildup and eventual occlusion of vital blood vessels supplying the heart and brain resulting in heart attack and stroke respectively. Therefore, the more pawpaw you consume, the less your risk of these fatal disease conditions.

Reduces risk of Obesity and Diabetes

Being a high-fibre, low-calorie and nutrient-dense fruit, pawpaw makes you feel full and satisfied such that you are less likely to snack on junk fatty diets which predispose you to obesity and Type II Diabetes Mellitus. In the same vein, pawpaw has been shown to improve glycaemic control in diabetic individuals. Research has shown that individuals with good glycaemic control are less likely to develop diabetes complications such as retinopathy (leads to blindness) and nephropathy (leads to kidney injury).

Erectile Dysfunction does not have to be a life-long sentence. There are numerous ways to improve performance, and one way is to make sure you have a healthy diet. Eating the right foods will ensure you get the correct nutrients for optimum health. However if you have a busy lifestyle, and can’t always eat nutritious meals, you can always boost your diet with vitamin supplements, which can help to increase sexual desire, and combat erectile dysfunction. Here is the run-down on Vitamins A to E, and how each of these can benefit you.

Vitamin A. This is a fat-soluble vitamin that plays essential roles in reproduction. You can get vitamin A by eating sweet potato, carrots, kale, mango, turnips, spinach, romaine lettuce, papaya, red bell pepper, and broccoli.

Vitamin B. B vitamins are a group of water soluble vitamins that are essential for the proper functioning of almost every process in the body, including providing energy, regulating hormones, maintain a healthy nervous system, regulation of cholesterol and triglyceride levels, and relieving stress and anxiety. Although it is possible to get supplements containing all the necessary B vitamins, the best source of the necessary B vitamins is through a balanced diet of meat, seafood, nuts, seeds, grains, fruit and vegetables.

Each specific B vitamin is responsible for specific functions, and the main ones are covered below.

B1-Thiamine. B1 is essential for maintaining a healthy nervous system, and for the functioning of important enzymes that help the body convert food into fuel. It is considered an anti-stress vitamin because it assists the immune system, and improves the body’s ability to endure stressful conditions.

Food sources of B1 include brown rice, peanuts, peas, sea vegetables like dulse flakes and kelp, wheat germ, rice bran and most whole grains

B2-Roboflavin. B2 aids in the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats and proteins. It is involved in adrenal gland function, and in the production and regulation of certain hormones. Its role in maintaining an energy supply for the body is crucial, as it helps convert carbohydrates into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), a compound needed to store energy in muscles. Vitamin B2 also promotes skin, muscle, nerve, heart and eye health, production of red blood cells and antibodies, and absorption or activation of iron, folic acid and Vitamins B1, B3 and B6. Vitamin

B2 is found mainly in meat, fish, eggs, vegetables, dairy foods and grain products.

B3-Niacin. Niacin plays an essential role in the manufacture of enzymes, which aid in the metabolism of fats and protein to provide cells with energy. It is also essential for the synthesis of various hormones in the body, including the sex hormones, and helps regulate your digestive and nervous system, Niacin is also effective in improving circulation and reducing cholesterol levels in the blood.

The best dietary sources of vitamin B3 are found in beets, brewer’s yeast, beef liver, beef kidney, fish, salmon, swordfish, tuna, sunflower seeds, and peanuts. Bread and cereals are usually fortified with niacin. In addition, foods that contain tryptophan, an amino acid the body coverts into niacin, include poultry, red meat, eggs, and dairy products.

B5-Pantothenic Acid. B5 plays an important role in sexual function. When taken with a supplement called choline, it helps the body produce more of a substance called acetylcholine (also known as Ach). ACh is the neurotransmitter in the brain that transmits sexual signals down the spinal cord and into the nerves that serve the penis. These signals trigger the body’s production of nitric oxide, which is essential for the dilation of blood vessels in the penis, allowing the penis to become engorged with blood. Studies have confirmed that with too little ACh, sexual activity decreases.

The best sources of B5 are yeast, liver, and eggs. Other good sources are peanuts, mushrooms, split peas, soya beans and soya bean flour.

B6-Pyridoxine. Vitamin B6 is needed for the synthesis of neurotransmitters such as serotonin and dopamine. It also helps moderate the level of homocysteine, an amino acid normally found in your blood. There is evidence that elevated homocysteine levels increases the risk of heart disease and stroke.

Excellent sources of vitamin B6 include spinach, bell peppers, and turnip greens. Very good food sources of vitamin B6 include garlic, tuna, cauliflower, mustard greens, banana, celery, cabbage, crimini mushrooms, asparagus, broccoli, kale, collard greens, Brussels sprouts, cod and chard.

Vitamin C. Vitamin C is an antioxidant, along with vitamin E, beta-carotene, and many other plant-based nutrients. Antioxidants block some of the damage caused by free radicals, which occur naturally when our bodies transform food into energy. The build-up of free radicals over time may be largely responsible for the aging process and can contribute to the development of health conditions such as cancer, heart disease, and arthritis.

Some excellent sources of vitamin C are oranges, green peppers, watermelon, papaya, grapefruit, cantaloupe, strawberries, kiwi, mango, broccoli, tomatoes, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, cabbage, and citrus juices or juices fortified with vitamin C. Raw and cooked leafy greens (turnip greens, spinach), red and green peppers, canned and fresh tomatoes, potatoes, winter squash, raspberries, blueberries, cranberries, and pineapple are also rich sources of vitamin C

Vitamin E. Vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin which helps protects vitamin A and essential fatty acids from oxidation in the body. Studies have shown that Vitamin E reduces the risk of coronary artery disease by limiting the oxidation of LDL-cholesterol.

Vitamin E has also been called the “sex vitamin,” as it plays an important role in the production of sex hormones, protecting them from oxidation and degradation. It has a protective effect on sperm cell membranes, and can also aid in improving sperm motility.

Excellent sources of vitamin E include mustard greens, turnip greens, chard, and sunflower seeds. Other good sources include almonds, spinach, collard greens, parsley, kale, papaya, olives, bell pepper, brussels sprouts, kiwifruit, tomato, blueberries, and broccoli.

For many couples, the inability to conceive a child is one of the most stressful and heartbreaking times in their relationship. In the early 21st century we are faced with issues of exposure to environmental estrogens, low sperm counts, and a wide group of other factors that affect fertility.

There are many causes of infertility for couples. Some are from the physical body and others are from the emotional, mental and spiritual bodies. It is beyond the scope of this article to cover all of them. As many infertility treatments are costly and time consuming, I would recommend consulting a Medical Intuitive or other healing practitioner before starting standard infertility treatments such as fertility drugs or IVF.

Infertility occurs almost equally in men and women. 30 % of infertility is attributable to women and 30% to men. An additional 30% is attributable to both partners and remaining 10% is unknown. A recent study published by the CDC stated that one out of every 132 men in the U.S. is infertile.

What are the Causes of Female Infertility?

There are many physical body reasons for infertility in women. Some of these are anovulatory cycles (a menstrual cycle that has varying degrees of menstrual intervals and the absence of ovulation and a luteal phase). amenorrhea (suppression or absence of menstruation), luteal phase defects, premature ovarian failure, and polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), and prolactin levels that are too high.

Sometimes anatomical problems in women’s fallopian tubes from a previous surgery or past pelvic inflammations will prevent the eggs from traveling through the tubes.

Other factors such as uterine growths fibroids and endometriosis are common causes of infertility in women. Thyroid conditions, diabetes, celiac and inflammatory bowel disease may also cause infertility.

Additionally alcohol and certain hormones, antibiotics, antidepressants, and pain medications will impair conception.

What can a woman do generally to enhance her fertility?

Have a hair analysis test. This test will show what exposure you have to toxic metals and/or other chemicals that will lower fertility.

Limit exposure to second hand smoke, as cigarette smoke contains toxic metals known to have negative effects on fertility.

Avoid caffeine.

Taking an organic acid metabolic profile test will also show your exposure environmental toxins and pollutants.

Nutritional supplementation to enhance female fertility

Note: Unless otherwise stated all dosages described in this article may be divided and taken with meals. Folic Acid: increases cervix health and also interferes with HPV Infections, 800-1200 mcg per day. B Vitamins: A full spectrum B complex that includes 100mg of each of the B vitamins and 100mcg of B-12 (Methylcobalamin). Iron: As part of your normal blood tests have your doctor order a test for ferritin and a complete blood count (CBC) which will show how much iron you would need. The best form of iron is carbonyl iron. Take iron with vitamin C. Vitamin C : 1000mg per day of Vitamin C will help to increase ovulation. Chasteberry (Vitex agnus castus) 500-750mg per day. Reduces prolactin release and lengthens luteal phases and improves progesterone production in the body. Natural progesterone cream : rub into soft skin areas. Massage well into skin. Use in morning and evening. Works well with Chasteberry to enhance female fertility. Tribulus terrestris fruit extract (standardized to 40% total saponins) 500 mg 3x per day. Tribulus terrestris increases incidence of productive ovarian cycles. Prenatal vitamins : Prenatal vitamins are excellent to use while a woman is trying to become pregnant. Many studies have shown that woman who used prenatal vitamins had a significant increased number of conceptions.

What are the causes of Male Infertility?

Male infertility is caused by problems with sperm production and delivery. Sometimes a man may have some anatomical problem such as one or more testes that do not descend, or a ductal obstruction from infection, or inflammation. Hormonal dysfunction is also a common cause of male infertility.

As discussed above just as with women certain drugs may also cause infertility in men. Common high blood pressure, arthritis, and digestive drugs effect sperm production and mobility. STDs also will affect male fertility.

What can a man do generally to enhance his fertility?

Note: Unless otherwise stated all dosages described in this article may be divided and taken with meals. Zinc (zinc monomethionine): 30 mg per day. Multiple studies have shown that low Zinc levels have a very negative effect on sperm production. Antioxidants (selenium, Vitamins A, C, and D) Selenium (selenomethionine): 200 mcg per day, Vitamin A (natural beta carotene) , 1500 IU per day, Vitamin C 1000mg per day, Vitamin D 1000 IU per day and Vitamin E 1000 IU per day. Antioxidants are needed by the male body for sperm function, viability and to increase sperm count. Glutathione: 500mg per day on an empty stomach. Glutathione is a molecule synthesized in the body from the three amino acids L-glutamic acid, L-cysteine, and glycine. Glutathione is one of the body’s most powerful and important antioxidants. Both Glutathione and selenium are needed by the male body for a protein that enables sperm mobility. Coenzyme CoQ10: 200mg per day. CoQ10 increases sperm count fertilization rates and mobility. Arginine: 3000mg per day on an empty stomach. Arginine significantly increases sperm mobility.

Caution: Do not use Arginine if you are diabetic, have cancer or have had ocular or brain herpes. In some people, a high level of Arginine will cause reactivation of herpes viruses in the body such as cold sores or genital herpes. Also persons with phenylketonuria (PKU) should not use Arginine. Korean Ginseng (Panax Ginseng) 900mg per day. Multiple studies have shown that use of Panax Ginseng will increase sperm count and mobility. Pygeum africanum: 100mg per day. Pygeum africanum affects male fertility by helping the survival of sperm outside the male body. It also helps with the pH balance of prostatic fluid.
