Fresh garlic is effective against bacteria, yeasts and fungi. It is most effective against fungi and candida. Studies the University of Oklahoma have shown that garlic juice is as strong as certain antifungal drugs, and it is certainly safer.

Garlic is recommended for mild, recurring, or chronic infections that are not dangerous, such as infections of the mouth, ears, throat, stomach, or skin. It is effective against bronchitis, cystitis, thrush, colds, and particularly candida.

Did you know that there are three mushroom varieties - reishi, shiitake, and maitake, and that all mushrooms must be cooked to get the nutritional value?

Fat soothes the nerves and provide the basis for myelin, the protective shield that covers nerve cells. Fat is found in all body cells in combination with other nutrients. Essential fatty acids are an important link in the health chain.

Excess fat, however can be a problem. It it stored in the liver, in arteries around the heart, and in all tissue. Cancer of the breast, prostate, and colon, not to mention obesity, and an increased risk of heart attack, are linked to high fat consumption. The typical American diet consists of 40 to 50 percent calories from fat, a primary cause for the rise in all of these disorders.

Tune in to this episode of Partners in Health and Biz, with your Health and Wellness Consultant, Gail Dixon-McBride, and learn the different types of fat; which ones are good for us, and which ones to avoid!

Tune into the Partners in Health and Biz podcast, with your Health and Wellness Consultant, Gail Dixon-McBride. This week's topic is the CDC's release of new COVID guidelines going forward, and we conclude the last part of the Natural Cures series, wrapping up Vitamins C and E, from our previous episode.

The COVID new rules still recommend that people who are sick with COVID-19 should isolate at home, but people — including students in schools — do not have to quarantine if they have been exposed to someone who had tested positive but are not feeling sick themselves. Instead, people who have been exposed should take a diagnostic test on the fifth day after the date of exposure, and to wear a mask for ten days after that date.

Antioxidant vitamins, including vitamins E and C, are being tested and used to treat a number of diseases - cancer, asthma, infertility, diabetes, arthritis, degenerative eye diseases, and degenerative brain diseases, such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's.

Vitamins C and E are potent antioxidants; this means they can block the destructive activity of chemicals in the body called oxygen free radicals. These free radicals are created internally by body metabolism and also enter the body through exposure to all kinds of chemicals, including air pollutants, cigarette smoke, fatty foods, and radiation.

Tune in to this episode of Partners in Health and Biz, with your host Gail Dixon-McBride, and learn how vitamins C and E have been proven to help lower high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and to stave off blood clots, heart attacks and stroke.

An anticancer diet makes sense, used in conjunction with other conventional treatments, as an adjunct therapy, not as a sole therapy. The same is true for megadoses of antioxidants and other vitamins and, for that matter, other natural substances. It's unlikely that one alone will act as a cure for cancer, but there's good evidence that many combined can support and individual's ability to survive cancer. Don't count on one or two magic bullets to fight cancer: It takes many streams to make a river, according to an old proverb.

Tune in to the Partners in Health and Biz podcast, with host Gail Dixon-McBride, and listen to some of the testimonies of people who have miraculously survived and beat cancer, using positive thinking, visualization, meditation, prayer, vitamins, supplements, and cancer medications.

If you tend to have motion sickness on boats, planes, cars or elsewhere, or suffer from nausea occasionally, your first choice of a miracle cure should be ginger. Ginger is the safest, oldest, and most effective antinausea remedy known. It appears to work primarily on the digestive system, not the brain, and thus lacks the bothersome nervous system side effects, such as drowsiness, that you typically get from over-the-counter drugs. The fact that ginger fights nausea of all kinds is evident from centuries of usage, controlled scientific studies, and raves from people who have tried it!

Tune in to the Partners in Health and Biz podcast and learn from the testimonies of others, how ginger has resolved their nausea and stomach sickness problems, and how it can work for you!

Symptoms range from annoying - getting up frequently at night to urinate - to serious pain from obstruction of urinary flow and trouble with erections. However, it is a nonmalignant condition.
