My husband is 38 years old. He takes Lexapro and Lamictal for a mood disorder and depression. He has decreased libido and low serum testosterone levels. He has taken Androgel in the past but is interested in other treatment options. Are there any herbal supplements or natual remedies that are safe to use? Does anyone out there have any first-hand experience with any of them?

I see so many people around here talking about all natural therapies, herbal remedies, and things like diet changes as a cure to cancer.

I have to ask…

The people who go around advertising this:

Would you use this in your own cancer treatment?

Is there even one person around here who did use something like that and make any progress?

Ive been through cancer treatment, and I just dont see it.

Fibromyalgia is a mysterious disease that is effecting more and more people, as increasing numbers of patients are being diagnosed with this disorder. What is fibromyalgia, and what are some alterative therapies and treatments for this often-times debilitating disease?

Fibromyalgia is defined as a chronic musculoskeletal disorder with symptoms of widespread and persistent muscle and soft tissue pain, fatigue, and tenderness in several key points of the body such as the neck, shoulders and hips. Fatigue is often present in the more severe cases of fibromyalgia, and the degree of pain also depends on the severity of the disorder in the individual.

Fibromyalgia can be caused by stress, muscle injury or overusage of the muscles. Alternative therapies for fibromyalgia are being perfected as we speak, and there are some promising therapies and treatments in development now that can really help improve people’s lives.

There are many traditional and alternative therapies prescribed to treat fibromyalgia. They range from traditional treatment with NSAID’s (a powerful prescription pain killer which inhibits pain-triggering chemicals from releasing in one’s body and reduces swelling which often contributes to pain) and other anti inflammatories, to magnet therapy, physical and massage therapy, and herbal treatments.

One of the best lifestyle changes for fibromyalgia patients is moderate movement. It is imperative to feed the muscles of the body oxygen by keeping the blood flowing and circulating constantly. This will help reduce any swelling, hence reducing pain, as well as provide the necessary nutrients (oxygen and blood circulation) to your muscles that they need to function properly, and to heal themselves.

Be sure to incorporate adequate amounts of minerals such as zinc, magnesium and calcium in your diet. These minerals are indirectly responsible for the health and oxygen absorption of your major muscles. Adequate amounts of these minerals, like exercise, will help ensure adequate oxygen delivery to the muscles. Not only that, this helps offset any type of fatigue caused by the disorder.

Also be sure to get plenty of antioxidants in your diet. Antioxidants help destroy free radicals, which are often responsible for the destruction and aging of tissue, including the muscle tissue. Antioxidants are found in abundance in dark leafy green vegetables and brightly colored fruits and vegetables like peppers and oranges.

In addition to these lifestyle guidelines, you may also want to try a good herbal pain control remedy in order to manage fibromyalgia flare ups, or as a supplement to your diet in order to reduce daily pain. Formulated with the right combination of botanical and herbal compounds, the right herbal fibromyalgia pain reducer will reduce the pain naturally, without the undesirable, sometimes addictive, and health threatening side effects of common prescribed anti-inflammatories for fibromyalgia. As a supplemental therapy, it can prove to be a huge benefit in fibormyalgia patient’s lives.

Do you think hospitals should include alternative therapies and encourage spiritual activities as part of treatment? or stick to the conventional scientific treatment only?

The herbal industry has been the focus of a recent study conducted for the nutrition journal. this time with a focus on natural relief from stress and anxiety problems With the ever increasing popularity of alternative medicine especially that of herbal remedies. It would appear that scientist are starting to take herbs more seriously in the treatment of many ailments, in this case, that of herbal anxiety remedies.

Herbal Anxiety Remedies The Test

The report is the result of 21 randomized studies of different herbal anxiety remedies and involved 2619 participants. All of who had an anxiety problems or depression of some kind. Also included in the subjects were people who were experiencing normal levels of anxiety or stress, along with some people who are going to undergo surgery or experiencing insomnia of varying levels.

Surprising results for users of herbal anxiety supplements.

Some people who are currently using Herbal anxiety remedies might be in for some surprises. First of all if you are already using herbs for anything I’m sure you wont be too shocked, but the 21 studies showed that 71% of cases showed positive improvement. This is a massive boost for the herbal medicine industry.

The shock for me was that some of the remedies that I have used with great effect in the past came out quite badly in the trials. And that is St John’s Wort. The article concludes, “St. John’s wort monotherapy has insufficient evidence for use as an effective anxiolytic treatment”. Previous to this it was always that herb I though would get medical approval first. After all in some countries it is already prescribed for mild depression especially for children and teenagers where it is inappropriate to prescribe anti-depressants

What Herbal Cures Came Out Tops?

The article states that strong evidence exist that herbal anxiety remedies containing extracts of passionflower or kava and combinations of L-lysine and L-arginine as treatments for anxiety symptoms and disorders. Magnesium-containing supplements and other herbal combinations may hold promise but as always more studies are necessary before being able to prescribe the herbs for outpatients.

What now for herbal anxiety remedies?

Although this is really good news for natural anxiety supplements in the whole, we are still a long time of being able to go to the doctor and them being able to prescribe us a course of passionflower.

So we have to still rely on our normal sources for herbal remedies. Either your health food shop or your local herbalist.

But at least you can feel a little reassurance that your not just wasting your hard earned money on these tablets that you take every day. The herbs are most definitely helping you and it not just a “Placebo effect”.

Taking herbal anxiety remedies is just starting, to show the world how it can provide long lasting relief from stress and anxiety
