Sicko is a very good and informative documentary. If you haven't already seen it. I highly suggest that you do. It's funny, sad, and extremely informative. Many people believe that if you have health insurance that all your health care needs will be taken care of. That is just another lie that we have been told. They do all they can not to help you. Why? Because they don't want to spend any money on you! They want to keep all of the money for themselves. That's how they make money. The intention has never been to help you with your health needs. The quicker you understand this the better off you will be.
Sicko tells you the sad truth of how United States health care industry really is. They would rather see people die than to help them. Countries such as Canada, Britain, France, and even Cuba give their people free health care. Having free health care is a basic need that every individual has the right to have.
Michael Moore did a fabulous job on this documentary. He asked all the questions that you wanted to know upfront. This is really an eye opener. I believe everyone can relate to this film because we all know someone who can't afford medical insurance or if they do they are fighting to get the help that should be guaranteed to them. After all, it's not like it's free, because you are paying for it.
Nothing seems to be geared toward helping people and everything is geared toward watching people suffer. I always say it, and I will say it again. You have to educate yourself regarding issues, because the media is not going to tell you the truth. You will be sicker than a dog if you are waiting for them to inform you. It's your health and life. If you don't care enough to take the time and educate yourself. Than who will? Don't believe all the bull the media tells you when they say this or that person is a quack. The real quack is the media and the health care industry.
Remember it's all about the money. The sicker you are the more they get paid! They don't want you to get well!

Is there a quick way to heal from sickness? If there is one, I'd really like to know about it. This is a question everyone has on their minds. There is no overnight cure for sickness. Our bodies are not like vehicles. When something is not working properly, we take it to the shop get it fixed, and than we are good to go. It takes time for the body to heal, and there is no quick way. It's the same for losing weight too.
That's the reason why many people opt to have surgery. They figure they go in get operated on have this replaced, this liposuctioned, or this removed. Sure, they know they will be down for a little while, but in the back of their minds they believe it is much faster, than putting the effort into changing their lifestyle. What the doctors don't tell them is they have not solved the problem, and in a couple of years or maybe months they will be right back where they started from or even in worse shape. Another fact to consider is all surgeries are not successful, and some are irreversible.
Let me explain myself because, I don't want people to get the wrong impression. I don't think surgery is bad, because it has saved many people's lives when done for the right reasons. However, I don't think surgery should be the first option on the list, and more so because one does not want to make lifestyle changes. Also, I believe surgery has become an epidemic especially here in the Unites States. It seems that no one is even looking at alternative solutions anymore.
I've seen first hand that it takes time to heal and there is no quick method. My mom's friend husband found out he had rectal cancer this past May. His wife had been telling him for years that he should start eating healthier. He would never listen to her. He continued to eat at fast food restaurants, and loads of junk food. He would cook for the family, and of course the food that he cooked did not qualify as being healthy. Even after he found out that he was sick it was a struggle for him to change his eating habits. Friends were concerned too, and they let him know about it.
My mom's friend and her husband continued going to the doctor. The doctors told him that he would need surgery to remove the cancer. They told him the worse case scenario would be that he would have to get a colostomy bag. My Mom's friend told my mom that they would were going to look at some alternative solutions in the mean time. Her husband was still having a hard time making the necessary lifestyle changes he needed to help him fight this cancer. A friend wanted to put him on a natural health program. He refused.
He decided to go ahead and have the surgery which was scheduled in July. He had the surgery. The doctor told my mom's friend (his wife) that it was the worse case scenario. They had to remove his anal sphincter. Therefore he would now have to have a colostomy bag for the rest of his life. It was not the news he or the family wanted to hear.
Now, he has to make lifestyle changes, and it is not easy. I don't think he thought it was going to be the worse case scenario. I think he thought he was going to go in and have the surgery, and in a few months he was going to be back to living the unhealthy lifestyle that probably got him in that way in the first place. It would have been easier if he had went ahead and made those changes in the beginning.
It's not a quick fix to anything, and you shouldn't want one regarding your health. Don't wait until you get sick to start making the health changes you need to. Regardless, of what the doctor or anyone else tells you. The fact of the matter is there is no quick way to healing.

I have discovered a lotion and soap that is very good on your skin and it has organic and natural ingredients in them. I found it at Target (I love Target). I was shocked because usually in the stores it's hard to find products that are natural. The products are extremely gentle. I don't usually, use soap on my face because it dries my face out, but I can use these soaps, and I don't have any problems with it drying out.
The lotion is so light and so gentle on your skin. It smells heavenly. I was already a fan of shea butter. These products have shea butter in them. So, if you're like me than, you will really enjoy them. The lotion gives your skin the right amount of moisture. It's not greasy at all.
I have been trying to watch what I put on my skin, as we all know that the skin absorbs what you put on it. So, the least chemicals going on the skin is better for you health wise. Besides, natural products are so much better. When you know what the ingredients are you feel much better about using it (I know I do).
I know that you will enjoy these products. They are excellent for your skin. I just love it when I find something that is so good. If you think that you would like to try these products (and I know you will) go to the website SheaMoisture.com and have a look around.

It can be hard to maintain a lifestyle if you have someone who doesn't agree with it. No one wants to play the healthy food vs junk food game everyday, because it gets old and tiring very quickly. So, how can you get your spouse to eat healthy?
1. Be encouraging. Explain to him or her the importance of eating a healthy diet.
2. Get the whole family involved. It's much easier to do things together, than it is alone.
3. Involve him or her in the planning of meals and the grocery shopping.
4. Try new and different recipes. Eating healthy doesn't have to be boring or taste bad.
5. Try to keep healthy foods and snacks around the house.
6. Pick good books to read regarding making the transition to a healthy lifestyle. Include the whole family. Don't know what kinds of books to consider? Check out my Health Essential Books Store in my side bar for some of my recommendations.
7. Kindly, remind them that we have only one body and we have to take care of it, because if we don't who will? Nothing is worth being miserable over, and especially because one chooses to eat poorly.
8. Don't argue, and this is a big factor. Don't let food be the reason for an argument.
9. Have patience, and be understanding. Remember, the food industries are using ingredients that is causing it to be addictive. It also takes time for a person to break bad habits.
10. Lead by example. If you are looking and feeling good. That's something that few people can resist.
Note: You can use these tips not only just for your spouse, but also for friends, family, and colleagues.

I believe that it is very important for everyone to get to know their bodies. It's your body, and who better to know it than you. Your body is like a good friend. If you treat it well, it will treat you well. If you treat it badly, it will treat you badly. By knowing your body; I mean you should pay attention to it. You should know your body better than your doctor, not vice versa. Sometimes, the solution to your health problems is simple. If you take care of your body and learn what your body needs you can solve some of the problems you may be having yourself.
However, if you feel that you really don't know what the health problem is than, you should go to the doctor. I'm not against going to the doctor, I just don't believe in taking medication just because you sneezed. I believe in healing the body naturally.
You too, can start to get to know your body. Read my " Getting To Know My Body" article.
If you have a getting to know your body story. Please tell me about them because I would really love to hear about it.
