How to Make Your Own Natural Cleaning Products
(DrEddyClinic News) We know that exposure to toxic chemicals can lead to health problems. Unfortunately, some toxic chemicals are found where they’re least expected- in common, cleaning products. Ammonia can burn, bleach can irritate the skin, eyes and respiratory tract. Why use this stuff? Though most retailers do offer organic cleaning products, you can take it a step further and make your own and save a few dollars. Homemade, organic cleaning products are a safe, natural alternative to toxic cleaning products. The poison control number is on the label for a reason. In fact, The National Poisons Information Service in Britain recommends parents keep the cleaning products just as securely locked up as the alcohol. [1]
The Need to Adopt Non-Toxic Cleaning Protocols
Reducing exposure to toxins http://dreddyclinic.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=32860 is a process that happens in bits and pieces and you always need to be working at it. The consequences can be dire. Evidence already suggests exposure to certain chemicals may aggravate respiratory reactions. [2] [3] Removing toxic garbage, that shouldn’t even be sold as “safe for household use” is of greater importance when pregnant women or young children are involved. Some studies have been launched into examining the effect of cleaning products in hospitals on staff, who are constantly exposed; a possible relation to asthma has been discussed. [4]
Avoid Products with Toxic Ingredients
Adopting green living methods in your home is more important now than ever before. Chemicals such as Triclosan http://www.dreddyclinic.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=32747 are common in at-home cleaning and hygiene products http://dreddyclinic.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=118&t=33942, yet has been fingered for many problems, including increased incidence of asthma. [5] It’s not unusual for products to be introduced as safe and later recalled as unsafe; no surprise, adding chemicals to your living space can have disastrous consequences. [6]
The Alternative
Making your own natural do-it-yourself cleaning solutions provides your home with an eco-friendly cleaning that is gentle and powerful, without the chemicals or toxic fumes. Check the contents under your sink or pantry and you’ll likely find the economical, nontoxic ingredients that work alone or in combination to effectively make your home shine!
The Basic Arsenal
Vinegar
White vinegar is effective at dissolving grease and makes a great surface cleaner in the kitchen and bathroom. Vinegar works well because of its acidic nature and antibacterial effect. Japanese research found that the bactericidal activity of vinegar increased as the temperature of its solution increased, underscoring the need for double benefit of warm cleaning solutions. [7] Mix 1 cup of vinegar with water in a bucket or spray bottle and use it to clean windows and mirrors to toilets and floors.
Baking Soda
Baking soda deodorizes and has an abrasive quality that out shines toxic, powdered cleansers. Use on surfaces in the bathroom and kitchen to remove stains or even clean the inside of a messy oven. Adding salt can provide a boost in scrubbing power.
Lemon Juice
The inclusion of lemon in many commercially available cleaning products is one rare area where they got it right! Lemon juice kills mold, cuts through grease, and leaves a streak-free shine. The applied food science laboratory in Lincoln Nebraska examined the ability for lemon oil to inhibit mold growth by applying a coating of lemon juice and vinegar to roast beef. This was found to support prevention of spore germination and outgrowth. [8] Combine lemon juice http://www.dreddyclinic.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=33580 with vinegar or olive oil to make compound cleaning products that work harder and provide a natural scent.
Hydrogen Peroxide
Hydrogen peroxide has a bubbling action that is amazing with hard-to-clean situations. Fill a spray bottle with a HP and water mixture, keep it near the laundry area as it can be a great spot cleaner.
Olive Oil
Polishing wood with with olive oil and lemon juice moisturizes it and provides amazing shine with a fresh scent. Blend 1 cup of olive oil and 1/2 cup of lemon juice in a spray bottle, mist onto a soft cloth and polish wood furniture the natural way.
Easy Recipes for Powerful Cleaners
Cousin Jason’s Great Glass Cleaner
1. Add 1/2 cup distilled vinegar to a new spray bottle.
2. Fill with distilled water, gently shake.
3. Spray on mirrors and windows, polish with a crumpled newspaper (you’ll be surprised how well the newspaper works).
“Beatnick” Ted’s Doubly Amazing All-Purpose Cleaner
1. Add 2 tablespoons of distilled vinegar and 1 teaspoon liquid castile soap (vegetable based and natural) to a new spray bottle.
2. Add 2 tablespoons of baking soda. When it stops foaming, add 2 cups warm water, shake gently.
3. Use on counters and kitchen and bathroom surfaces. Use an organic cleaning cloth.
Captain Rusty’s Potent and Powerful Surface Scrub
1. Mix 1 cup baking soda and 1/4 cup liquid castile soap.
2. Add 5 teaspoons of vegetable glycerin and 5-10 drops tea tree oil, depending on preference. Glycerin is a natural preservative and tea tree oil has antibacterial properties.
3. Scrub with a microfiber cleaning cloth to use on sinks and other bathroom surfaces.
4. Rinse with hot water and polish with a dry microfiber cloth.
Extra Tips for Seamless Integration
- Clearly label your homemade cleaning supplies.
- Mix enough for one month at a time.
- Do not reuse containers from commercial cleaning supplies as they may contain chemical residues.
- Add cleansing essential oils such as lavender http://dreddyclinic.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=34852, tea tree oil, or rosemary for essence, scent, and benefit.

Symptoms of Liver Toxicity
(DrEddyClinic News) Symptoms of liver toxicity are not always easy to pinpoint. Many conditions http://bit.ly/liver-cleanse-reduce-these-symptoms associated with an overloaded liver are problems that can arise from a number of causes. Although some conditions, such as fatigue or irritability are often just part of life, and not necessarily the result of liver deficiencies, ignoring pervasive health conditions is never advised. Instead, we should view health problems as weeds to be removed. Often times, ailments resulting from imbalances and toxicity within the body spring up in multiple ways and appeasing deficiencies can help to alleviate them at the source.
Understand What Causes Toxicity
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OdmFlPflzlw
Your concern should increase if you find yourself regularly experiencing multiple adverse conditions at once, especially when that becomes “the norm.” If “the norm” for you is constant misery and dis-ease, it may be an indication that your body and liver are overloaded with function-impeding toxins. In such instances, the best course of action is to take inventory of your lifestyle to remove the sources of toxins and complement that lifestyle change with a liver cleanse using all-natural, organic methods.
Symptoms of Liver Toxicity
One of the most common symptoms of liver toxicity is chronic fatigue. Many people with overburdened livers will wake up in the morning feeling lethargic and drained, as if they have had no sleep at all. When you’re feeling weighed down before you even start your day, it takes a great deal of effort to get momentum up. It comes without surprise that persons experiencing this are often finished by mid day, a slow down often accompanied by stiffness and aches.
Chronic fatigue http://bit.ly/what-cause-chronic-fatigue-syndrome can stem from a number of origins and immediately assuming liver dysfunction and overreacting inappropriately should be avoided. However, it is a condition that requires attention and investigation may determine impairment of liver function to be a contributing factor. If it begins to be accompanied by emotional instability, then there is a greater cause for concern. The liver’s performance can directly impact emotional constitution. A toxic liver can be the catalyst for various forms of depression, which is really a form of anger turned inward. General moodiness, feelings of despair, and occasional outbursts of anger can all be caused by a burdened liver.
There are chemicals in the brain that cause a variety of emotional disturbances when they’re out of balance and moodiness may or may not be an actual symptom of liver toxicity. However, many people do not realize that the liver’s operation, or operational deficiencies, play significant role in emotional health. The annoyances of a bad day are one thing, chronic and wide mood swings accompanied with physical energy are another.
Symptoms of liver toxicity can also manifest as problems with the digestive system. Swelling and bloating after a meal, along with the seeming inability to lose weight http://bit.ly/11-foods-speed-up-metabolism regardless of diet or exercise, are possible indicators of liver dysfunction. These conditions can be further exacerbated by frequent alcohol consumption, a heavy meat diet, eating foods with refined sugars, and processed foods high in carbohydrates.
A Toxic Liver Needs Detoxification
If you’re constantly feeling drained or overloaded with negative empotions, you may be suffering from a form of liver dysfunction and could benefit by a simple cleansing.
As I said before, general, non-specific problems like chronic fatigue, moodiness, and digestive upset should not immediately be assumed to be the result of liver dysfunction. They may or may not be. Often times, for most people, determining what is causing them to feel less than their best is the difficult first step in turning things around. Body burden is an interesting subject because it affects different people differently. If you’re experiencing what you consider to be ill-health on a “regular” basis, something is amiss; the reality is an overload of toxins is often to blame. If you feel liver toxicity is to blame, it’s recommended you engage in an all-natural liver cleanse http://bit.ly/dreddyclinic-liver-cleanse-kit.

6 Healthy Foods that Cause Inflammation
(DrEddyClinic News) Most of us try to incorporate healthy foods into our diet. Lean proteins and healthy fats are good additions; added sugar, and processed foods are best avoided. Although the nutritional value of food, in that respect, is important, it’s also important to understand that different foods contain different compounds that can cause other results within our bodies beyond the typical conversion to energy.
Specifically, inflammation can be caused by a number of foods. Although it may not surprise you to know that “unhealthy” food can cause inflammation, it might shock you to learn that a number of healthy foods can be inflammation-causing-culprits as well.
1. Yogurt
Yogurt is often thought of as a healthy breakfast option, and it certainly can be, but it’s important to check the label. Many yogurts are nutritionally equivalent to ice cream and full of fat with lots of sugar. Sugar can cause inflammation and other obvious health consequences such as weight gain. Choose a yogurt that doesn’t have added sugar. Greek yogurt tastes great and can be a good choice, although it tends to have less calcium. Also consider yogurts with probiotics http://bit.ly/health-benefits-of-probiotics, as these can have digestive benefits.
2. Tomatoes
What? Really? Well, sometimes. Tomatoes belong to a group of plants known as nightshades, which also includes white potatoes and red and green peppers. Tomatoes are a beautiful, delicious, and seemingly harmless fruit, unless you have a sensitivity to solanine. For those folks, eating tomatoes can lead to inflammation that makes arthritic joints sore, encourages the growth of tumors, and increases the risk of developing heart disease.
3. Wheat
It’s been hammered into our lexicon that wheat is the healthy alternative to white bread, and that can be true, but usually isn’t. Wheat comes with its own set of health concerns. Why? Because it’s been engineered that way. In an effort to increase wheat production, scientists have genetically modified the wheat we eat so that 5 percent of its proteins are completely unique. Consequently, this unnatural tampering with nature has resulted in many people suffering from wheat allergies and associated inflammation.
4. Citrus fruits
Most people don’t have a problem with citrus fruits; in fact, they enjoy their many benefits. However, for those who have what’s known as a citrus allergy, citrus fruits can cause inflammation and contribute to the development of chronic diseases. If citrus allergies affect you, try tart cherries instead, which have the highest anti-inflammatory content of any food, according to research from the Oregon Health & Science University [1].
5. Nuts
Nuts are full of good fats http://bit.ly/top-5-healthiest-nuts and can be one of the healthiest and most nutritious food choices available. But if you suffer from osteoarthritis, the histamine in nuts can actually attack your joints and cause painful inflammation. If you find yourself hurting while doing simple tasks after eating nuts, you may want to cut them out of your diet!
6. Rice
A number of varieties of rice are extremely healthy and offer many benefits. However, highly processed white rice, and refined carbohydrates in general, is void of nutrition and can cause inflammation since it quickly turns into sugar within the body.

The Benefits of Acupuncture
(DrEddyClinic News) One alternative healing technique is the ancient practice of acupuncture. This technique involves the shallow insertion of specialized needles into the skin along the meridian points of the body. The needles have a very small diameter which makes them more easily tolerated than regular injection needles. Acupuncturists manipulate the life force or Chi energy of the patient. Their goal is to bring the body back into harmony with itself to relieve pain.
How Does Acupuncture Work?
The patient must be assessed first, noting the physical characteristics (such as the tongue, face and eyes quality); and, overt presenting symptoms like aches and their locations, chills, fever http://www.dreddyclinic.com/findinformation/ff/fever.php, poor sleep patterns. Next, the needles are inserted into the skin; possibly the practitioner will apply heated herbal substances on the end of the needles. They use special herbs, mild pressure, micro-currents of electricity, or may simply leave the needles inserted. The needles remain inserted typically until the practitioner reaches the goal of returning the patient’s meridian balance or complete relaxation is achieved. The duration of the treatment is determined by the goals and condition of the patient.
A standard meridian system known as the Twelve Primary Pathways is what most practitioners of acupuncture follow. The pathways represent conduits to the major organs, the bladder, gallbladder, heart, kidney, large intestine, pericardium, lungs, small intestine, San Jiao (or abdominal cavity), stomach, liver, and the spleen. Each point is further classified as a Yin (female) or Yang (male) meridian, and is manipulated with the needles in an effort to affect change of its respective organ.
How Can Acupuncture Help Me Detoxify Internally?
Acupuncture is gaining recognition in Western hospitals because of its results particularly with mitigating digestive discomforts like nausea, diarrhea, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, constipation and bloating. Correctly executed, acupuncture even helps to stimulate the intestinal tract http://dreddyclinic.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=32613 to push out toxins.
Acupuncture seems to facilitate opening elimination pathways. Applying mildly heated moxa (moxabustion) has shown benefit as it expands the pores on the skin to facilitate toxin release with natural perspiration. As a compliment, applying a mild electrical current through the meridians also helps to clear the neural messaging routes.
The goal of acupuncture is to revitalize the balance of the individual’s Chi, which promotes effective communication between the brain and the other organs. When communications are cleared, the body functions work more efficiently, at expelling waste and absorbing nutrients among other things. The results speak clearly to detoxification experts; they see effectiveness of acupuncture through its successful results. Acupuncture is older than modern science; since it has stood the test of time and is steadily proving itself, I think it’s worth trying as a possible boost for your colon-cleansing program.

10 Shocking Facts About Cow’s Milk
(DrEddyClinic News) Cow’s milk has been a nutritious, dietary staple for children and adults for ages. Today, we’re witnessing an increase in the frequency of cow’s milk allergies and it’s fueling a debate http://dreddyclinic.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=33165 between proponents of pasteurized milk and raw milk. Whichever side you’re on, research continues to investigate the reasons for an apparent increase in cow milk allergies, the safety and nutrition of raw milk, dangers of milk consumption and healthy alternatives for children who cannot drink milk.
Let’s take a look at 10 shocking facts about cow’s milk.
1. Maternal Antibiotic Use is Linked to Cow Milk Allergy (CMA)
A 2013 study out of Finland looked at the connection between a mother’s antibiotic use and its impact on infants. Reviewing data from national records, infants diagnosed with CMA had a direct association with mothers who had taken antibiotics during pregnancy. Infants given antibiotics following birth also showed a greater tendency to the cow milk allergy. [1]
2. Cow’s Milk Affects Breastfeeding
With the increases in childhood allergies, including CMA, research has begun to explore the relationship between maternal diets and its effect on human milk in breastfeeding mothers. Infants of mothers who consume cow’s milk show higher levels of specific proteins known to increase immune response and lead to allergy development. The good news is mothers who restricted cow milk consumption reduced the chance of their infants developing a cow milk allergy. [2]
3. Raw Organic Milk Contains More Fatty Acids
The arguments for raw organic milk are loud and plentiful. Although some remain skeptical, the science is quickly changing minds. A study published just this year discovered that organic milk contains 62% more omega 3 fatty acids than conventional milk. [3]
4. Milk From “Factory” Cows Can Be Highly Suspect
Many big corporations keep cows in filthy conditions. Some may even pump them full of hormones (rBGH) to stimulate milk production. A problem side effect of this practice is mastitis, or the infection of mammary tissue – the tissue which produces milk. This can lead to milk contamination by pus and bacteria. One such bacteria is Methicillin-resistant staphylococci (MRS). This antibiotic resistant bacteria has proven extremely virulent and difficult to control. [4] e Coli is another bacteria readily found in cow’s milk, and one resistant to powerful antibiotics like streptomycin and tetracycline. [5]
5. Lactose Free Has Drawbacks
Children with CMA raised on lactose-free formulas or milk-free diets have been observed having problems with developing proper bone mass. A Polish study of 66 children with CMA examined the impacts of lactose-free formulas on nutrition and bone health. The lactose-free children had similar nutritional levels of calcium http://www.dreddyclinic.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=33164, phosphorus, sodium and magnesium. But, they had higher vitamin D http://www.dreddyclinic.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=33212 deficiencies and lower levels of the chemical markers needed for bone formation. [6] Based on this study, any child raised on a lactose-free diet should be monitored to ensure adequate nutritional and medical care.
6. Cow’s Milk May Contain Antibiotic and Hormone Residue
Cows are often given antibiotics to treat the diseases they develop, especially cows that have been loaded with growth hormone (rBGH). Although many strains have become resistant to antibiotics, they remain a first step in addressing infections. To make sure antibiotic residues remain within approved levels, researchers continue to develop new ways to detect these antibiotics. [7] Of course, this means with every glass of milk you’re getting cow antibiotics, unless you purchase raw or organic… or even better — goat’s milk.
7. Raw Milk Consumption is Associated with Fewer Allergies
Cow’s milk allergies is a hot topic of study in Poland. Another polish study explored the effect of raw milk on allergy and asthma in Polish children and adults from a rural town. The researchers observed that raw milk consumption led to a lower occurrence of asthma and allergies, although hay fever and chronic nasal congestion occurred less frequently in the non-farmers who consumed raw milk. [8] These results support the hypothesis early exposure to raw milk offers protective effects against allergies and other autoimmune related diseases.
8. Raw Milk is More Nutritious
Raw-milk advocates argue raw milk is more nutritious and promotes health much better than its pasteurized counterpart. Whether this is true or not, science has shown raw milk retains nutrients destroyed by pasteurization. Pasteurization has been found to reduce levels of B1, B2, B12, folate and vitamin E. [9]
9. Raw Milk is Safe
Pasteurization is far more of a recent idea than consuming raw milk. Louis Pasteur developed pasteurization to protect wine from microbes and bacteria. For decades after this process was developed, raw milk continued to be consumed around the world. The process of milk pasteurization wasn’t introduced until the early nineteenth century when proponents of milk pasteurization sought to protect children from the filthy and spoiled milk being sold.
Until then children (and adults) had consumed raw milk for millennia. Many obviously survived, however with consideration to cleanliness the number who did not as a result of raw milk provided from unclean sources, or that had gone bad is unknown.
A text called The Untold Story of Milk, by Ron Schmid, provides extensive detail into the safety and nutrition of raw milk, particularly in the chapter “The Safety of Raw vs. Pasteurized Milk http://www.dreddyclinic.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=33720.” [10]
Of course, while the anti-raw milk group will argue raw milk is unsafe the facts remain simple:
1. Raw cow’s milk has more nutrition than pasteurized milk.
2. Raw cow’s milk was consumed for thousands of years before pasteurization existed.
3. Consuming contaminated or spoiled raw cow’s milk, as with any food, can cause illness, disease, and potentially death.
10. Cow’s Milk May be a Cancer Danger to Some
Hormone sensitive cancers such as breast or prostate cancer can be influenced by phytoestrogens. Cow’s milk contains these hormonal substances. Researchers sought to identify whether the amount of estrogens could be influenced by the dietary sources of cows. The outcome showed the estrogens were present regardless of the cow’s diet. [11]
And, a 26 year study of 68,000 women supports this idea. Women, especially post-menopausal women, with greater dairy intake over the period of the study had higher rates of endometrial cancer. [12] This 2012 publication suggests the health value of cow milk should be considered on a more individualized basis. Because contrary to the dairy industry’s marketing line, “Milk does your body good’” milk may not be an ideal food for everyone and many are seeking out alternatives http://dreddyclinic.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=33346.
