There are MANY reports of a high percentage of predetermined results of these so-called scientific studies being conducted based on funding by this or that pharmaceutical company .. they begin by telling researchers their hypothesis .. and tell them to prove its true. > and the conservative institutional realities are very difficult to > penetrate (with alternative methods) in this country.

Twould be nice fer'shur .. but I don't think it is changing. Modern medicine is not ready to admit that plants and their essential oils are the root base and foundation of the synthetics they produce commercially and that the synthetics lack the natural synergistic balances found in the natural products. But .. those inferior cures CAN be patented. > My interest in aromatherapy is mostly for my own health and well > being but I am also interested in what people are trying so that I > can pass on information to those who might be aligned to this > approach. Then be careful of some of the claims folks make .. because they are NOT always trying them themselves .. the copy many from Aromatherapy novels and they often extrapolate the known and proven therapeutic benefits of plants and assign them to the essential oils. There is a different chemical profile in the plant than there is in the oil because the plant contains the total footprint .. the oil contains ONLY those non-water soluble chemical components. > The trials we are hopefully going to start involve natural methods to > address the autoimmune aspect of Diabetes 1 and a " bio-electrical " > approach to regeneration plus accumulating some precise data about > how foods affect blood sugar.

A friend here in Turkey is getting her Masters in a new area that deals in prevention of disease through proper nutrition and with a lot of focus on natural products. Of course, bio-electrical aspects of regeneration are often discussed in science .. in fact, when I hear this discussed it makes me want to believe even more something I used to not believe at all .. that is how magnetism can help bones to heal faster. Its sorta along the same lines when we get deep enough.

I have been sniffing a lot of tree resins lately for respiratory relief (eucalyptus, tea tree, etc.) Is there anything to the idea that trees are aligned with the respiratory function, hot oils (rosemary, oregano, thyme, etc.) for immunity, some are sedatives, etc? Can the oils be grouped in some way which correlate with their effect on the body functions? > > Sounds interesting .. there is much known about how foods affect blood > sugar .. change of diet is the way folks shake off diabetes when it is > caught early enough.

This is what has not been well researched. I don't understand how cells work electrically. My friend does who healed himself...from being in a diabetic coma and having to inject insulin to being off of insulin totally in 9 months. It (the electrical part) has to do with ATP transfer, calcium and magnesium function...how the body works on a cellular level. I am just beginning to study these ideas. Sugar metabolism is an important part of how the body stays alive. Most of us seem to have no significant problem until something suddenly breaks down and then we wonder what went wrong. A lot of different things can go wrong and possibly are as we eat these terrible diets (me included to a great extent). Lots of research has been done on basic body mechanisms but mostly paid for by drug developers so it has not been applied to using natural means. My friend is trying to integrate the same hard core scientific research but use natural products and methods of " charging " or " pulsing " the organs to heal. By the way, I'm hoping someday to apply the regeneration ideas to hearing. Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
