Welcome to Great Home Remedies!
Yulia BerryHi! My name is Yulia Berry. I became a health researcher because I am allergic to a lot of medicine and always had to look for alternative cures. I tried many of them and found that they really work and do not have side effects.

Since then it became my passion to collect the most interesting natural home remedies, healthy diet plans, and beauty and makeup tips from different countries.

    ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE: YESTERDAY,  TODAY AND TOMORROW

You feel sick, you go to your doctor, and they prescribe a pill that makes you feel a little less sick then charge you or your insurance a small fortune for doing so. You still feel sick, so you go back and get another pill that may work and pay another small fortune. The cycle continues, you still feel sick, yet the doctor lives comfortably and the pharmaceutical companies boast record profits. It is no small wonder that people get tired of this pattern and decide to take their health into their own hands, utilizing the Internet and all of the resources within to look for a better path to wellness that does not involve expensive drugs that may or may not work.  Thanks to the digital revolution, Alternative Medicine has become a viable treatment option for many people who cannot afford to go to the hospital for every minor ache or pain that occurs, or for whom modern medicine has just failed to work. In the past decade these so called alternative practices, which encompass a wide range of practices including home remedies, yogic exercises, specific diets, aromatherapy and others, have made their way from the fringe to become the epicenter of wellness for many people including many medical professionals who at one time would not go near them. Lets us take a look at what has happened with Alternative medicine in the past a few years, where it is today and what the future holds for it.  

What has happened in the last 5 years?

During the last five years there has been a significant trend shift of people seeking complementary and alternative forms of medicine to help with their ailments. According to a 2004 government survey 36% of adults in the United States have reported using some form of alternative therapy[1]. Another survey done in 2007 revealed that Americans spend around 34 billion dollars a year on complementary and alternative medicines. While this 34 billion is just a small chunk of the 2.2 trillion dollars that is spent on health care in this country, it does amount to a healthy percentage (11.1%) of the out of pocket costs that people in the United State pay for healthcare[2].

Worldwide, the percentages of people seeking alternative means to help with their ailments are even larger. Thanks to the spread of information technology in the past decade more people now have the ability to make informative decisions about their health and well being without the need of an expensive doctors visit. To many people around the world alternative medicine, folk medicine and home remedies are seen as viable options, if not the only recourse they have in times of illness.

What is happening right now?

Today, the medical establishment which once had the habit of denouncing all things alternative has seen the light and is beginning to take a serious look into integrative health care. Many major medical centers such as Duke University, the Mayo Clinic and the University Of California San Francisco have opened Integrated Medical centers on their campuses[3] and others are quickly following suit.

Medical professionals are seeing the light in part because they realize that there is a market for alternative medicine. The Institute for Alternative Futures reports that in 1990, 33% of Americans reported using some type of alternative approach to health. Almost twenty years later that figure has doubled to 66% of Americans trying out Complementary Alternative approaches to health[4]. Thanks in partly to the Internet and the spread of information, the medical establishment is now opening its arms up to the alternative approach simply because their patients (clients) are demanding that they do so.

This is ironic since most medical professionals twenty or thirty years ago would have ignored these practices in part because it is hard to turn a profit off of them. While a doctor can make a lot of money prescribing a patented drug from a large pharmaceutical to help unclog a patient’s arteries, suggesting a lifestyle change and alternative therapy or prescribing an herbal supplement that will do just as good of a job as the patented drug just did not make any business sense.

What will happen in the next 5 years?

In an article titled “Alternative has gone Mainstream[5] Deepak Chopra, Dean Ornish, Rustum Roy and Andrew Weil reveal that in order to survive, the medical establishment needs to further embrace alternative medicine. The information revolution has led people on the path to complementary alternative medicines and medical doctors will need to be informed of them if they want to keep their patients.

Chopra and the others point to the fact that in the United States far more is spent (75% of 2 trillion dollars)  on treating preventable diseases (heart disease, diabetes prostate cancer, breast cancer, obesity) than is actually spent on preventing them.

Alternative medical methods, especially ones that focus on diet and lifestyle changes (Yoga, Veganism) are actually already geared toward this goal. Other disciplines such as acupuncture and aromatherapy, once thought as borderline five years ago, are now treated as the future of medicine.

Garlic and the Swine Flu

The H1N1 viruses, more commonly known as the swine flu, is once again in the public spotlight as flu season descends upon us like a bull on the crowded streets of Pamplona causing panic and health official running amok screaming about flu shots. While there is nothing wrong with getting vaccinated, it is also important to take all the media hype surrounding this sickness with a grain of salt and to realize that if you keep your immune system in good shape with a healthy diet and exercise,  chances are you will not get the swine flu.

 The Orthomyxoviridae or Influenza Type A  (H1N1) viruses was first discovered in 1918, and can be contracted through infected pigs that are handled by humans. (Please note: You cannot get it from eating pork). The H1N1 virus is a highly contagious respiratory infection that generally targets the elderly and young children with compromised immune systems; however anyone can catch this virus especially if they happen to be already sick or have a history of illness.

The hype

If you believe what the new anchors are telling you, then the swine flu is the next great plague that is sure to wipe out humanity and make the world like the one in 12 Monkeys. In reality, the amount of people who have actually died from the swine flu is quite small and nowhere near “pandemic” proportions. The people who have succumbed to the H1N1 viruses are generally in a state of poor health without any build flu defense and most people who get it, will probably live to tell their grandchildren about it.

Saying this, it is still wise to take some precautions when going to public places. Wash your hands with good antibacterial soap after you touch things and dress warmly. However, unless you have a severely compromised immune system, there is needed to go strutting about with a surgical mask on.

A healthy diet plan of prevention

The swine flu is a virus that targets weak immune system, so the best way to keep it from affecting you is to keep your immune system in tip top shape with a good diet plan that supports your immune system. Avoid processed garbage and eat a sensible meal of whole grains, fresh fruits, vegetables and lean meats like fish, turkey and chicken.

 Another thing you can do is to be sure to incorporate nature’s ultimate immune booster: garlic into your diet. Research has shown that eating garlic regularly can boost your immune system, helping your T-Cell function better and more effectively. Garlic also helps improve your blood flow and keeps your arteries elastic which will also help keep you healthy and uncompromised. Garlic also contains  powerful antiviral enzymes such as Allicin and Ajoene which have shown the abilty to kill off any potential invaders.

If you do catch the Swine flu

So, if you do happen to get the swine flu and feel all the symptoms including a fever, chills, body aches, lack of appetite, coughing, runny nose, sore throat, diarrhea and vomiting, do not panic. Instead there are steps you can take to limit the viruses’ impact on your body. First, stay away from solid food and drink lots of filtered water, freshly squeezed juices, and broth.

Juice some garlic

Another great way to break the swine flu’s hold on you is to add garlic cloves to your juicer and juice it along with your favorite juiced fruits and veggies. Fresh garlic is a powerful anti-viral herb that will make it difficult for the H1N1 to stick around. The sooner you eat garlic after you cut, crush or juice it, the better since the best antiviral enzymes are created right after.
