HERBAL PAIN MANAGEMENT
A few years ago my Mother experienced an outbreak of shingles in her right ankle. They were very painful. Her doctor prescribed hydrocodone (an opioid) and Neurontin (an antidepressant) to help her with the pain.
After four years on the medications, she was still experiencing pain. The pain was different, however. Instead of being in her ankle, it was all over her body. She couldn’t stand to be without her pills.
Mother went to another doctor who told her she needed to come off those medications, because they were addictive. She told Mother to wean herself off the pills. The weaning process would require enduring the pain for a little while each day as she lengthened the time between the pills.
Mother balked at that. “I only take the pills when I’m in pain. They take my pain away,” Mother told me. “That doctor has some crazy idea that I’m going to become addicted”.
She was so upset, I decided to call the doctor and hear the other side of the story. That’s when I learned about opioid addictions and how impossible it is to stop them. As the doctor explained what was happening in Mother’s body, I got a picture of the pain nerves being numbed by the medication. It would be like waking up with a numb arm after sleeping on it wrong. When it wakes up, the arm goes through all kinds of feelings; tingling, stinging, aching, and throbbing. Then it feels warm and returns to normal. Imagine your whole body going through those feelings. That’s called “Cold Turkey.”
Pain pills only stop the pain from being felt. They do not heal the problem that causes the pain. Healing the problem requires giving the cell all the nutrients it needs to function. If it has all the vitamins, minerals, amino acids, fatty acids and antioxidants, etc. that it needs, it will keep on functioning perfectly. If a toxin comes along, the cell will use its nutrients to kick the toxin out. If there aren’t enough nutrients, the cell will not be able to kick the toxin out. The toxin will move in and set up housekeeping. With a toxin inside, the cell will not function easily. It will malfunction in a state of dis-ease. When enough cells malfunction, we experience a symptom. Symptoms are given disease names.
It doesn’t matter what name the malfunction is called, the solution is to give the cell enough nutrients to kick the toxin out and return to perfect function.
An addiction is the body’s cry for nutrients. Pills are not nutrients; they are toxins. They block functions and make us feel no need for nutrients. When the pills wear off, our cells scream for nutrients. The screaming is felt as pain, and we grab another pill.
To stop additions and/or bring healing to our body’s cells, we need powerful nutrients.
Dr. Loraine Day cured herself of breast cancer several years ago with a $3,000 Norwalk juicer and 13 fresh vegetables every day for 18 months plus nine other lifestyle adjustments.
On Feb. 20, one month ago, a lady walked into Family HELM Health Center and told me of her strong desire for Diet Pepsi. She woke up every day wanting one and continued to drink them throughout the day. I gave her one dose of Powerful Nutrietns, Imunstem & Aktiffvate from Golden Sunrise Nutraceutical. The next morning she woke up without thinking about Diet Pepsi. She was so happy! Throughout her 10 days on Imunstem & Aktiffvate, she reported her sleep returning to normal. Her energy kicked in and stayed even all day, and her moods were much better. She is looking forward to the long term effects of these Powerful Nutrients.
She will soon be able to cut back on the amount she takes while her health improvements stay. Throughout the maintenance program, the $80 for 10-Days will gradually be reduced to around $50 a month. Her health investment payed off from the first day.
My Mother has been taking Imunstem & Aktiffvate for a few years now. At age 95, she enjoys going outside every day to feed the chickens, gather eggs and throw the ball for a little deaf dog who likes to fetch.
A 10-day trial of Imunstem & Aktiffvate lets you experience these Powerful Nutrients and their effects on the body. Stop by weekdays from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. or give me a call at 793-4314. Let’s get started or continue.
