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

Today's question is a bit different than most but one that is legitimate and deserves an answer. Also as a reminder of the Master Formula Special offer that ends at 9pm (mst) tonight take a look and see if any of those on special are something you use and if so save $33 as each of you should be on the minerals that will be free when ordering any of those formulas. Refresh your mind on what Dr. Garland's master formulas are included in the special click here

The answers to questions submitted to me each week come from my 20+ years as a Medical Office Nurse along with many years and ongoing education in nutritional and alternative treatment modes. Add that to many years of friendship with Dr. Wayne Garland, a very knowledgeable naturopath and herbologist, who many years ago, beat his cancer death sentence given by the traditional medical world, has helped along the alternatives path and hopefully help to give hope to those who need it... Also receiving a lot of study reports and try to ascertain if they are good or bad then report them to you, which has increased my knowledge along the way and I pass them on to you to use or not...

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 was taught those same schooled methods that aren't relieving illness but creating far more health problems than they help. Those same medical professionals aren't telling people how to get healthy or how to prevent illness, 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...

QUESTION:
 
I was looking for information on fingernails and ran across your article online about fingernail diagnosing illnesses and disease. It didn't answer my question but I'm hoping you will know the answer: have you ever heard of someone developing just one markedly brittle nail? I have one nail only that is actually gotten brittle and falling apart, but I have no idea why. I take a good liquid multi vitamin supplement as well as large doses of vitamin C but hasn't stopped the problem. I don't understand how only one nail can fall a part?

ANSWER:
 
You don't say exactly how your nail is falling apart but I can guess that it is splitting and cracking? But just in case I'm wrong I will give you the options that I am familiar with!

Yes, I have seen that happen with both finger and toe nails. That usually comes about from one of three reasons;

1. That particular finger has been damaged in the past and is not getting sufficient circulation to the nail bed, although  the finger usually has other outer disfigurements as well but occasionally does not show up...

or

2. You are putting that particular finger into something - A solution applied to your work area that is toxic to you and that finger only has prolonged contact with it? Often a wax compound that makes picking up papers easier can be toxic to some or sitting with that affected finger unknowingly touching paper or plastic full of toxins is damaging the nail.

or

3. A fungus in or under the nail bed of that particular finger.

Number 3 is the most common reason for one or more nails to be either brittle, blue/black, yellowish powdery, splintering or cracking and shrinking.

If number 1 or 2 applies you can ignore the following:

Fungal treatment suggestions - Don't believe the cutsy little TV commercials that the little "devilish domatafite" tries to feed you about needing their little liver damaging, immune killer pills that set you up for other illnesses/diseases... They fail to tell you that those pills will create problems in organs of the body that can kill you or at best create a lifelong illness... A nail fungus can be killed with Ionic Silver water (Soak your fingernail, for about 3 to 5 minutes once or twice a day, for about a week and take 1 Tablespoon of Ionic Silver Water by mouth twice a day for 10 to 14 days. Ionic Silver water also builds your immune system and kills unwanted bacteria without killing the good bacteria/flora needed in your body... There are over-the-counter fungal topical ointments but they have toxins in them that can adversely effect a person who is sensitive to toxins, which happens with people who have this problem. You can reuse the ionic silver water finger soak several times as it will not go bad.

You might want to think about balancing your minerals intake as circulation depends on it and without that balance you are not absorbing your vitamins or other supplements as your body requires, therefore wasting money while not achieving the results your body needs. Read "Balance Your Way To Health."

It will take 3 to 9 months for a healthy nail to grow out after killing the fungus...

Hope this answered your question satisfactorily!

"Overpromised" and "exaggerated"… Those are words I never thought I'd hear about the benefits of cancer screenings.

Believe it or not, the American Cancer Society is reworking its position on early screening for breast and prostate cancer.

"I'm admitting that American medicine has overpromised when it comes to screening. The advantages to screening have been exaggerated," Dr. Otis Brawley, chief medical officer of the American Cancer Society, told the Times.

HEALTH INSURANCE

Have you noticed how health insurance is like a hospital gown: every time you turn around, you find something that isn't covered? But health researchers are discovering what many people have known all along -- that getting healthy is about more than medicine and treatment. It also involves a healthy outlook on life.

Various studies have validated the mind/ body connection. Cancer is often diagnosed within months of the death of one's spouse. People who are cynical or angry have been shown to be more prone to heart attacks than those with a more positive outlook. And former Saturday Evening Post editor Norman Cousins has demonstrated for years how humor, laughter and hope can aid the healing process.

Not only is a healthy mental outlook necessary, but a healthy spiritual outlook seems to be equally important. Noted psychologist Carl Jung (1865-1961) made a telling observation about the connection between one's mental health and spiritual outlook. "During the past 30 years, people from all civilized countries of the earth have consulted me," he said. "Among all my patients in the second half of life -- that is to say, over 35 -- there has not been one whose problem in the last resort was not that of finding a (spiritual) outlook on life. It is safe to say that every one of them fell ill because he had lost that which living religions of every age have given to their followers.."

A healthy person is not one with a certain lifestyle, a certain income or certain favorable circumstances. A healthy person is usually one with certain attitudes. Positive mental attitudes and fruitful spiritual attitudes are part of it. One might say that a robust spiritual outlook is good health insurance.
