A Solution to Parkinson's Disease

I witnessed how patient Mrs. Chija, a retired teacher with Parkinson's Disease ( 2 years), a patient of Integrated Laser and Complementary  Medicine Center and able to monitor her progress and development.  A ptient of Dr. Danilo Delfin, she came to the clinic can't barely walk without assistance, the severe tremors in her face and hands are are very obvious with hands shaking.The patient is also hypertensive, BP 160/90, has osteoarthritis and dislipedemia.

The patient complain of difficulty walking, getting up in bed, sitting and standing  up. Dr. Delfin does not give any medications yet  to see the effect of IV Laser Therapy first, and after the first session BP was improved to 130/80 mmhg and after the third session tremors dramatically lessened.

What is Parkinson's Disease? 

Parkinson's disease is a progressive disorder of the nervous system that affects your movement. It develops gradually, sometimes starting with a barely noticeable tremor in just one hand. But while a tremor may be the most well-known sign of Parkinson's disease, the disorder also commonly causes stiffness or slowing of movement.

In the early stages of Parkinson's disease, your face may show little or no expression or your arms may not swing when you walk. Your speech may become soft or slurred. Parkinson's disease symptoms worsen as your condition progresses over time.

Although Parkinson's disease can't be cured, medications may markedly improve your symptoms. In occasional cases, your doctor may suggest surgery to regulate certain regions of your brain and improve your symptoms.

Everyday it gets better for Mrs. Chija

Third session day, “Di na Naninigas at sumasakit ang tyan ko ngayon, dati kasi hirap ako after kumain kasi sumasakit nga sya (pain scale of 9 out of 10) ngayon nasa 6 na lang ” she said. Her daughter also mentioned that her mom’s sleep lasted for more than 8 hours and said “ yung kamay dibn ni mommy din a sya ganon katigas gaya ng dati na parang nag lolock”. Hand massages as well as using a stressed ball 3 times a day was advised for continue improvement on her hands. 

Mrs Chija and her daughter said she can now make her own coffee, wash the dishes and walk unassisted and get up from bed on her own. She is now taking Vitamin B complex to support nerve nutrition and IV Laser from time to time to further improve her condition.

The reason why IV Laser Therapy works in Neurological Problems:

Product Feature: ATC Healthcare LiverMarin and Ginkgo Biloba

Two most important organs of our body are the liver and the brain. we should protect and take care of these two powerful organs. 

The Liver serves as a lymphatic organ that filters and detoxify toxins in the body, if we have a problematic liver chances are may health problems will occur in our body. Some liver problems such as chirosis due to viral infection, alcohol damage may be prevented by taking sylimarin supplements.  

The brain control our whole system, it is very important to look after it, nowadays brain degeneration is a common problems such as Dementia, Parkinson's, Alzheimer, ALS etc emerging in great number of cases.

ATC LIVERMARIN:

Love and protect our liver

According to a report by Euromonitor, Filipinos are the 3rd heaviest drinkers in the world. While many people think of this as a feat to be proud of, doctors would disagree, as excessive alcohol consumption is one of the leading causes of liver disease. Any liver disease is a serious condition, so much so that it often leads to complications that are difficult to treat. While it is difficult to avoid alcohol as it is a huge part of our culture, we can protect our livers with the right supplements.

ATC Healthcare International Corp. sought out the best Silymarin out there to fit into one convenient capsule – LiverMarin. LiverMarin is a dietary supplement containing 250mg of Silymarin or Milk Thistle, and 100mg of Sodium Ascorbate. Milk Thistle’s active ingredient “flavonoids” break down into two main components, Silydianin and Silychristin, which together form Silymarin – a supplement found in LiverMarin that is known to have the potential to protect your liver by acting as an antioxidant, promoting the growth of new liver cells while preventing liver damage. It may also help prevent cirrhosis, or scarring of the liver, which is an irreversible damage that causes you to have a weakened immune system.

Aside from the above mentioned benefits, regular intake of LiverMarin may also help in digesting fat that aids in the treatment of fatty livers, preventing and treating hepatitis A and B, managing SGPT and SGOT levels and in managing insulin overproduction. 

It is recommended to take 1 capsule 3 times a day before meals, or as prescribed by your doctor. Treat your liver right, take LiverMarin every day. At SRP P7.50 a capsule, LiverMarin is an affordable way to protect your liver.  

ATC GINGKO BILOBA: 

Forget Me Not 

They say that memories are the fuel that people burn in order to stay alive. Without the power of memory, our existence is dull and flat. As a matter of fact, it is through memories that we are able to savor the good things in life that has passed. And because of these memories, we look forward to the future, with the aim of reliving what has happened, and even making it better than how it has been before. However, not all memories are meant to stay in our minds and sometimes, aging is the culprit. 

Good thing is that there are herbal plants like ginkgo biloba which makes our minds replenished through time. ATC Healthcare International Corp. sought out the best ginkgo biloba out there to fit into one convenient capsule – ATC Ginkgo Biloba. ATC Ginkgo Biloba is the brain enhancer you need to keep your memory sharp.

Aside from its brain enhancing capabilities, Gingko Biloba is also helpful in regulating blood flow to the brain thus lowering the possibility of having Stroke. It is also capable of protecting and healing damaged cells that are caused by inevitable diseases such as Alzhiemer’s and Glaucoma.

Book Review: Herbs, The Magic Healers

This is one of the old books in my collection, I have been keeping it up for many years and serves as my Herb Bible. It has ageless wisdom and very universal in  appeal. 

Herbs, the Magic Healers is a compendium of herbal wisdom from Paul Twitchell, the spiritual leader of Eckankar. The author simply believes that herbs can be use not only for physical but also for spiritual health. 

Most of the herbs are from all over North America, but some are also available in the Philippines. If you want to know more about the healing powers of herbs and guide to use them, this book will serve you well. Very informative, well-researched and written .

I learned so much about herbs from this book, the secrets of longevity use by the sages are herbs, herbs are very important to our physical and spiritual well-being. 

Some of the very interesting chapters are:  the sacred herbs of the ancient mystics, the strange and curios herbs, life-giving properties of seeds, herbs and karmic conditions of man, herbs that give life for the vital powers and more. 

The ancient lore of herbs and their magic healing properties comes alive in these pages, herbs being use by ancient health practitioners and spiritual adepts. In this modern world of ours, health practitioners detour into inorganic medicine, that's why I would like to share this book and hope readers to get a copy and let's bring back  the proper use of herbs- God's medicines, to restore well-being  in a disease-ridden world. 

Book Review: Vermont Folk Medicine

I came across this book way back in a book sale, it is one I value and recommend to read and keep a copy. Got it pre-loved and I am loving this book.

The book is authored by Dr. D.C. Jarvis, and Ear Nose and Throat Specialist (ENT) who employs the traditional Vermont Folk Medicine in his practice. The good doctor is a highly trained physician in his chosen field, though he realized that a simple home remedies works to most of his patients better, in the book he explains medical and scientific facts about the Vermont's Folk Medicine and why it works. One reason I love about the book is that, Dr. Jarvis documented all his patients' success with the use of the tradition Vermont Folk Medicine, such as the use of apple cider vinegar, honey, iodine (Lugol's solution) etc. The books serves as my reference that helps me a lot in managing a lot of health problems, such as hypertension, chronic sinusitis, colds, flu, varicose veins and other conditions. 

I feel confident and safe using the remedies because it was fully explained by the author scientifically and medically. He had  also proven it to himself and most of their patients. 

Overweight, some of the issues discussed in the book

I find this book a treasure to keep and I highly recommend it to all my reders.

Vitamin Review: Mega C Vitamin C

We are literally living in a toxic world and stress is everywhere, Mega C will be our best friend and companion in all our daily grind, for 5 pesos per capsule a day it is a very practical solution to combat stress and boost our immune system.

We spend 150 plus pesos  for our daily coffee and mobile phone load for unnecessary texts why not give yourself a good favor by taking Mega C Vitamin C to compensate our abuses to our poor body. This will not harm our pockets a bit right? 

A single dose daily is fine for preventive measure, but if you have severe illness like colds, cough or viral infections, it is safe to take a Mega dose like 3-4 capsules a day to help our body recover from ailments.

I actually know about this kind of Vitamin C a long time ago and been using it and preferred it compare to synthetic Vitamin C available in the market. I did my own research and testing the product, this is close to natural sources like fruits and vegetables. 

For the sake of my readers who wants to know more about Mega C Vitamin C and why they have to make a big mega-switch, it is the company's corporate philosophy and manufacturing practice that I like most. That's always my criteria in choosing a brand with the same products. The company is not engage into networking or MLM and they want to keep the product prices at a lower price and affordable. 

Vitamin C is the mother of all Vitamins as a matter of fact our average daily requirement is 1 gram a day and that's 1000 mg, it works with other vitamins synergistically,  meaning it complements other vitamins to work, that's why it is also called an essential vitamin (needed by the body).  

Why choose Mega C?

Mega C is 100% alkaline vitamins C in Sodium Ascorbate form. It is non-acidic in veggie capsule which is readily absorbed by the body with pH level of 7.5 to 7.8. Mega C is safe to take even on an empty stomach.

So, if you want to enjoy the many health benefits:  strengthens the immune system, maintains healthy gums, helps prevent eye diseases, promotes better digestion and smoother  skin or simply to prevent major illness, make it a habit to take Mega C as part of your daily diet specially if you don't get enough vitamin C in your diet, it is a good supplement and support system. 

Bloggers' Night with Mega C

Sol and Riz Razo, blogger friends organized event for Mega C and I completely obliged to attend not only as health blogger but as a health ranger as well. 

Mega C also supports talents such as Voice Male, a talented, young and cool  boy band group who can sing acapella they also performed during the bloggers night.

Symposium on Intravenous Laser Medicine held at Medical Plaza Ortigas

Here's my thoughts on the latest symposium on Intravenous Laser Medicine (IVLT) of The Integrated Laser and Complementary Medicine held at the Board Room of Medical Plaza Ortigas building last October 5, 2014. It is their third symposium for Medical Professionals and specialist, the first one in Cebu City and the second with members of Las Pinas Medical Society. 

The symposium aims at creating awareness about IV Laser Therapy in the country and encouraging other medical practitioners to re-examine and have a second look at this wonderful health modality which is very popular in Eastern and Western Europe.

Though the modality is a treatment in itself, it also complements other modality such as chemotherapy, pharmacological and alternative medicines, hence it was called part of Integrative and Complementary Medicine.

According to the speaker Dr. Danilo P. Delfin, a well-known Cardiologist, we are very late and left behind for more than 40 years with this kind of light-based technology which is the Intravenous Laser Therapy. Even my two doctor guests Drs. Rosario ( an anesthesiologist and practicing Family physician)  and Alberto Magpily said that they encounter IVLT many years ago during their training and practice in Germany way back.

Mr. Rommel Santos, ILACM President and as we call him the father of Intravenous Laser Therapy in the Philippines, invested and brought this technology into  the country and came home just to attend the occasion (he was based abroad).

Cebu medical consultants and specialists Drs. Corazon B. Canete and Elena Mapula  flown in to manila from Cebu to attend the symposium and meet with the Manila office. Pasig Doctor friends of Drs. Delfin and Mejia  Drs.  Sharon Flores, Michelle Macabangun, Janet Barrocamo, who are very interested to know more about IVLT also graced the event. 

Professor Melissa Dizon speaks about her IVLT Experience and

Drs. Arnel  and Clarissa Lim 

Moi with friends Ross Angeles and Lito Casaje

After the symposium, everyone went to the clinic at Unit 2414 for lunch, demo sessions and some fellowship with the other guests. 

I am a great believer of this Intravenous Laser Medicine, and supporting this for many years now, like in Europe, I hope it will become a part of mainstream medicine our doctors can use today. There are so many applications for this modality in other areas of health, not only cardiovascular problems, but also in Neurology, Nephrology, Fertility, Inflammatory Diseases and Anti-aging as side effects. As a health and wellness advocate, this is my mission now, to make this known in the medical community and to all  Filipinos as well.
