 ASK LENA HEALTH Q & A EDITION!
====================================

Today's question is one that I've been asked before and the person asking usually expects and/or wants a simple answer but in our
world simple when treating health issues became impossible a hundred years ago! 
Also I am including another successful treatment story for Rheumatoid Arthritis that I received from Dr. G.  Liliana's extreme RA is
healing fast since starting her alternative healthy protocol as you will see when you read her diary entry. Watch for further
followup as she progresses!

Reminder: Take charge of your health today or it will take charge of you when you least expect it!

Don't forget to pass on the newsletter announcement to anyone you feel will read it.

I am not a doctor or dentist and you should not think of me as one!! My years observing life and health of the many people/patients
around me and the contradictions of the traditional medical world's idea of treating - prescription domino effect - while watching and
also taught those same schooled methods that aren't relieving illness but creating far more health problems than they help is where
my answers are based. Those same conventional medical professionals aren't telling people how to get healthy or how to prevent illness.
They can't as they haven't been taught healing, only putting a bandage on symptoms, which led me to look for something to change
that premise for myself and those around me who ask. In looking outside the Westernized medical profession I found and continue to
find alternatives that really work to create health and longevity - when adhered to - beyond anything the traditional medical world can do...

Ask Lena Health Questions and Answers is for your information and education only and in some instances to give you a different
perspective on a particular problem! My wish for you, in the use of the information gained here, is that you will apply it in a smart
and safe manner in order to enhance your life and not harm it! Not to be used in place of your judgment but in  addition to... Even
though I daily watch people become healthy with the information imparted here nothing works 100% of the time for 100% of people
but it is a fact that when natural herbal/nutritional alternative health modes are used more than 80% can be cured or reverse health
issues...

I have always felt that I had to know all sides to a problem and then make a decision for myself and I hope that will be your attitude
as well! 

Thank you for your confidence and inquisitiveness!

QUESTION: 

I suffer from arthritis of my knees, and neck and a friend says that shark cartilage could do wonders fir it, but I have a peptic ulcer that limits
what I can take. Do you know of a natural healthy remedy for peptic ulcers? Do you know if patients with peptic ulcers have difficulty with
shark cartilage? What would you suggest as natural healing treatments for either or both conditions? 

Sam 

ANSWER: 

Hi Sam I don't want to be too long winded on my answer but I see some potential problems that should be addressed before answering...

You do not give me names of what medications you are currently taking making it a bit hard to give an absolute answer but I have to question
your doctor and his/her abilities with her Peptic Ulcer if they continue to bother you?

The medical science for the last few years suggests that anyone with ulcer symptoms should be checked for the presence of H Pylori bacteria.
Has your doctor check you for that? The importance of this finding is that in most cases of H Pylori positive ulcers can be healed with antibiotics.
Sadly prescribed antibiotics seem to not kill all of the bacteria as it is king at finding hiding places in the digestive tract, which will find it
cropping up again in the future if not treated properly... I don't know if this is your case or not?

Secondly, some Peptic ulcers are caused from too little acid in the stomach, which is exacerbated with drugs such as Nexium, Prilosec and
other antacids that some doctors give for stomach problems. Also those same medications cause rebound symptoms that mimic ulcers. Another
problem; Arthritis medication also cause both minerals and nutrient imbalances and also causes digestive enzyme and probiotic death. Even after
stopping those medication it can be a catch-22 as to whether it’s the bacteria, medication or ulcers? This sets up the ground for stomach
yeast - necessary bacteria that is bad when overgrown in the digestive tract – to take over and overpopulates like wildfire and sets up a
world of other potential health problems. This can actually cause arthritis...

If this is your case you need the ultimate healthy antibiotic that does not kill good bacteria in the digestive tract and can kill the H Pylori bacteria,
Ionic Silver Water, 2 Tablespoons every 4 to 5 hours daily for a month or more At the same time you need to start rebuilding the good bacteria
(Probiotics) to keep yeast/candida and acids at a healthy balance while providing Digestive Enzymes for the stomach that aids in an acid
balance necessary to keeping good bacteria allowing the stomach to heal the ulcerations and kill off yeast overpopulation that I can tell you is
most definitely overgrown..

In this day and age when ulcers are treated properly they can be cleared up in two to twelve weeks. Diet helps but is not the answer for most
ulcers. If you truly have peptic ulcers without H Pylori and have been treated but continue to have problems with them, you definitely should
be doing something to stop irritating them and begin something to heal them.  Silver water is effective in both instances. 

I suspect it's the ulcer and/or arthritis medications that continue to cause the problem. Those are the chief culprits as they tend to kill all
good bacteria needed to keep the digestive tract and stomach acids that are necessary for proper digestion and deplete your system of the
necessary nutrients for your body’s healthy as well as prevent arthritis.  

Finally to answer your question... Yes, Shark Cartilage would be safe and will not irritate your stomach... Dr. Garland has a much healthier and
safer herbal and nutrient treatment for arthritis that clears up and does not irritate Peptic Ulcers but in fact can help them at the same time
while repairing joints and tendons and controlling pain safely. It takes more than just one or two natural remedies to help with arthritis and
ulcers... Twenty percent can successfully take MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane), Glucosamine, shark cartilage but that leaves eighty percent
who do not find relief with them... I have no idea if you are in the 20% range or the 80% range.

Fear and stress can contribute to prolonging your ulcers by killing off the good bacteria while either under producing or overproducing
necessary stomach acids, while contributing to exacerbation of arthritic pain... If your are fearful or stressed out this can be a problem for
you... Since you are asking I suspect that you are not too happy with your conventional doctor. I was there once and know how that can
feel. You continually ask yourself why you aren’t getting better? One thing you must know is that you cannot combine both conventional
and natural medicine as they work against each other and will not give you healing results.  The only things you can take with prescription
medications are balanced minerals and mega nutrient vitamins of all types.  

One study out this year is that people with arthritis (among many other illnesses and disease) are extremely deplete in Vitamin D so you
need to think about supplementing if you do not get at least 30 minutes a day of sunshine on 2/3’s of your skin. Wearing long sleeves, long
pants and hats or putting on sun screen robs you of the ability for your body to make vitamin D.  Since arthritis medications drain the body
of a host of minerals and vitamins, with B being some of those, it only adds to the problem. People with illnesses, you being one of those,
should take at least 50,000 IU’s a day for the first week then cut back by 10,000 IU’s weekly until you are only taking 7,000 to 10,000 IU’s
daily. That is only if you fit the profile of not getting sufficient sunlight daily!

Hope this helped answer your question properly.

Conventional wisdom states that drinking milk causes an increase in phlegm. Scientists have generally dismissed
the notion, though, since experiments do not seem to bear it out. In one study, researchers noted that even
people who were inoculated with the common cold virus did not show any increase in symptoms when they drank milk.

But a new report suggests that those earlier studies suffered from a critical flaw: not all milk is the same.

Certain breeds of cows produce milk containing a protein called beta-CM-7. This protein can stimulate mucus
glands in both your digestive- and respiratory tracts.

Milk containing the beta-CM-7 protein could therefore very well stimulate phlegm -- particularly in people who
suffer from chronic lung conditions

A BETTER WAY TO LIVE

Did you know...?

That Joan of Arc was only seventeen when she was riding at the head of the army that liberated France from the English?

That church reformer John Calvin was twenty-six when he published his "Institutes"?

That poet John Keats died when he was twenty-six?

That Shelley was thirty when he was drowned, but not before he left English literature his classic "Odes"?

That Sir Isaac Newton had largely discovered the working of the law of gravitation when he was twenty-three?

That Henry Clay, the "great compromiser," was sent to the United States Senate at twenty-nine and was Speaker of the House of
Representatives at thirty-four?

That Raphael painted his most important pictures between twenty-five and thirty?

That Mozart only lived to be thirty-five years old?

Maybe I'm just a late bloomer.

When I was a young man I wanted to make things happen. After a few years I realized I would have to content myself with watching
most things happen.

Unfortunately, these days I usually have no idea what is happening.

Of course, most of us will never paint a masterpiece, write a classic or discover an important scientific principle. But why should we?
We're each cut from a unique pattern.

Dick Van Dyke once told the story of a woman taking her nephew to her Catholic church. She whispered to him as they approached
the pew: "Can you genuflect?"

"No," he said, "but I can somersault!"

I wonder if he showed her right then and there. I can almost see him rolling down the aisle in a joyous celebration of the thing he
CAN do, with no regard for genuflecting, the thing he cannot do.

Some people waste lives obsessing on that thing they cannot do, wishing they were more competent. And some measure the value
of their abilities against those of others, wishing they could contribute in a bigger and better way.

You and I may never be a Mozart, a Raphael or a John Keats. But there are things you CAN do to bring beauty or joy or happiness
to your world. Find them. Do them. Celebrate them. Rejoice in them.

I can hardly think of a better way to live.
