A natural approach for treating vitiligo

August 18, 2019May 1, 2015 by Susan

Maintaining the series of holistic treatments, I will now talk about a holistic approach on vitiligo.
What is vitiligo?
Vitiligo is a medical disorder in which parts of the skin become discolored. It is an autoimmune disease so it isn’t contagious.
The cause of vitiligo is unknown and it is reported that about 70 million people have this disorder.
The most common areas for white patches are the armpits, around the mouth, eyes, nostrils or genitals and even inside the mouth.
The most famous people who had a chronic for of this disease is Michael Jackson.

With this facts, the first reaction for a person who sees this white patches on their body is panic and a frivolous search for a quick treatment.
Unfortunately there is no treatment that works for everyone, I know some people who got rid of vitiligo with very expensive creams used over long periods of time, while for others absolutely nothing worked.
The keywords into curing vitiligo is patience and perseverance. Everyone should know there are no quick fix solutions or magic pills when getting rid of vitiligo.
Now the questions that pops into everyone’s mind is how do we change our lifestyle, what do we have to eat, who can give me all this information. Well, the answer is simple, a nutritionist.
He can prescribe a healthy diet and can see where you have been making mistakes in you lifestyle and more.
But if your time or budget doesn’t allow you to go to fancy expensive clinics, then there you can always try to read a nutritionist’s book that explains how to cure vitiligo.
The one book that caught my attention was something that many people reviewed as being valuable and that the it really helped them get cured.

The book is named My Victory against Vitiligo: A Successful Story and a Practical Guide to Treatment, written by Xichao Mo, has 128 pages and contains different vitiligo treatments that can help people from minor to severe cases in a completely natural way.
About the author, we know he suffered from a chronic form of vitiligo so he understood the psychological impact this disease has on people. It was actually his motivation into composing this complete system for helping himself and, later being able to help other fellow sufferers.
“My Victory against Vitiligo” helps you highlight the internal causes and help you get into an individual program customized to your needs.
The goal of this program is to heal both body and mind and goes by the presumption that vitiligo is caused by a psychological disorder and body negligence.
Involving a series of steps to heal the psychological cause, helping you get rid of stress and a create a plan for body detoxification combined with a vitamin-herb combination, you only need to follow this program thoroughly to see results.

The only drawback of this treatment is that people may find it hard to develop long term management habits for vitiligo but still, having this condition most persons will be motivated to do so.
As a conclusion, the book promises to help people find relief from this disease, but not in a spontaneous way but with patience and by completely adopting a new lifestyle.

Beauty Food Bible Review

August 18, 2019May 1, 2015 by Susan

Beauty is something very important in our age and society, every woman wants to be beautiful no matter the age. But time, pregnancy, lack of exercise and bad eating habits always puts their marks on our appearance.

But that does not mean that you can’t strive to recover and look again young and attractive. But there are a lot of things that need to be changed.
Do this experiment and see the results: for a day eat only fast-food and drink sugar rich beverages; the nest day eat fruits, salad, some steak and drink water. At the end of each day you will feel different.

In the first day your skin will smell bad, you will feel slow, sleepy and if this sort of eating behaviour is kept as long term, your skin will be sick and dry.
But, after the second day you will most likely have more energy, feel light, happier and if kept as a long term diet your skin will look awesome and it will smell good.
If I could put all this into a single expression it will be that beauty comes from the inside. Eating right and exercising will most definitely show on the outside.

But most of us (myself included) had no idea where to start, there is no guide, no one knows the right way to stay healthy so we make mistakes. Most try the easy way (pills) or adopt a diet that is harmful (because we heard it from a friend who heard it from another friend) and we fail and feel miserable.

As I said in many of my posts, always check with your doctor before starting any diet and what I usually do is to speak with my nutritionist.
But if you don’t have time or you don’t know a good nutritionist there is always the book option. A book written by a specialist can always make the difference (especially in the wallet :)).
One such book is the Beauty Food Bible written by Tracy Patterson.

It doesn’t matter if you are inexperienced or know some healthy recipes, you will be taken from the basis, you will learn what types of food we should consume, how to make DYI masks and a lot more.
The first chapter introduces us to the superfoods. These are the foods that are commonly available from the market, like spinach and celery. Once we understand how to apply the superfoods into our diet to our advantage, it will only be a matter of time until our body shows the positive results.

The second chapter is only about the skin. In the introduction I spoke about how skin degrades as we age, because of our food, environment and stress and that there is a way to reverse this.

In this part we are presented with DYI recipes for facial masks, recipes for skin, hair and what is the most important is that you will find the ingredients in you fridge. So no more expensive creams or masks.
Basically, the Beauty Food Bible helps you choose the most tasty and healthy food for every part of the day.

Say, for example, you want a morning beverage, then the book recommends drinking green tea, or you have acne, then the book recommends just the right food to help relieve the condition, you will learn that brightly coloured fruits or vegetables contain antioxidants that protect your skin from sun damage and many other remedies and recipes that are great for your health.
At the end you will find that the Beauty Food Bible is an extensive guide to make your skin younger, feel happier, look better and be attractive.

Protect Your Family from Toxic Products With Everyday Roots

May 9, 2015May 1, 2015 by Susan

As you can see in my other posts I like to try natural and high quality products and, as a mother of two I want to keep my kids and husband healthy and happy.
In this day and age it is easier and cheaper to eat unhealthy, it is easy to lose track of our weight and overall we are not accustomed to healthy life habits.

Every time one of my children got sick I always took them to our family doctor and she would prescribe antibiotics. What I learned a bit later was that antibiotics lower your immune system so my children would become more frail and would get sick more often.

So that was when one of my friend, who was a bit older than me and also had two kids recommended me an encyclopedia of natural home-based treatments that I could make from the products in my home.
She said that she and her family are healthier since she started using the recipes. Her skin looked a lot better and she said she didn’t have a cold in about 5 years.
I was a bit curious so I borrowed the book to try and see how it goes.

The book called Everyday Roots , written by Claire Goodall has 350 pages and was packed with 215+ simple beauty and health treatments that I could make in a short period of time from the products from my drawer.
After I came from work I spent about 30 minutes and I tried some of those recipes so I replaced some items that I would buy from the market like toothpaste, soap and shampoo.

So, after about a week I could already feel the difference in my skin and hair and even my husband and children noticed a significant improvement.
I wondered then why should I buy all those expensive products that sometimes are toxic for my body when I could make my own, chemical filled free, organic products that work?

And that was a turning point in my lifestyle. Over the years I grew accustomed to make my own organic beauty products, when one of us got a cold or a sinus infection I knew just the treatment to use so it would not lower the immune system, but strengthening it.

If you are curious about using non-conventional, holistic medicine, home made beauty products or other health related non toxic products this book actually gives you recipes with a clickable table of content. You can find natural remedies for colds, flu, heartburn, sinus infection, acne, dry hair, headaches and a lot more and the best thing about this book is its simplicity and to-the-point advices.

I know that modern days eating habits are messing our health and if you, just like me, want to be healthier then Everyday Roots Book teaches you how.
