The new science of cellular energy involves a working knowledge of how the body turns protein, carbohydrates and fats consumed into cellular energy by way of our mitochondria. The mitochondria are organelles vital to the existence of our cells without which there would be no life possible. These three basic food nutrients are processed in the mitochondria through a system known as the kreb’s cycle to produce a basic unit of cellular energy known as ATP.

Without ATP we would not have the molecular power to run the machinery that sustains our lives at a cellular level. As these ATP units of energy become deplete from a lack of basic nutrients to support the proper number of mitochondria (our cellular powerhouses) it leads to the breakdown of our immune functions, to exhaustion of our basic resources and eventually leads to cellular death.

Our organs are but a grouping of cells which have all agreed to perform a single, solitary purposeful function within the body. Thus organs are but a neighboring community of cells which have uniformly agreed to perform a vital function inside of the universe of the body. The loss of cellular ATP energy leads to system breakdown, organ malfunction and eventual atrophy, then total organ collapse.

The consequences of age related chronic cellular energy loss include:

1. Coronary Artery Disease and Cerebrovascular Disease
2. Obesity
3. Diabetes
4. Cancer
5. Arthritis
6. Dementia
7. Macular Degeneration (Age Related Blindness)
8. Autoimmune Disorders (Lupus, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Scleroderma, and more)

All of these conditions are the direct result of not making enough cellular energy to keep cells (and thus organs) functioning efficiently, thus leading to cellular entropy.

Entropy is a noun which describes a thermodynamic law that reflects a lack of order or predictability. It describes a gradual decline of systems into disorder, deterioration or degeneration. It can be further classified as a crumbling, decline, degradation, decomposition, breaking down, and collapse into eventual disorder and chaos.

This study of cellular energy and development of clinical tools using the latest DNA technologies is an exciting and rapidly changing area of medicine.

A lot of natural skin care measures are actually the same as those for body care in general.

So let’s see what these measures are.
Well the first and the foremost measure is – ‘Drink a lot of water’.

Around 8 glasses of water is a must everyday. Water helps in flushing out the toxins from the body, in a natural way. It helps in the overall upkeep of the body and promotes good health for all organs (not just skin).

General cleanliness is another inexpensive way of natural skin care. Daily shower, wearing clean clothes and sleeping on a clean mattress/pillow are all part of general cleanliness. After all, clean skin is the key to keeping the skin disorders at bay.

Regular exercise is the next thing on the cards. Exercise increases the flow of blood that helps in getting rid of body toxins and keeping you healthy.

Exercise also helps in beating stress which is the worst enemy of good health.

Healthy food and eating habits are also recommended. Some type of food (e.g. oily food) is know to cause acne and should be avoided as much as possible. Your diet should be a healthy mix of various nutrient providing foods.

Raw fruits and vegetables are known to provide freshness to your body and help in getting rid of body toxins.

A good sleep is also instrumental in maintaining good health and in beating stress. As a measure, a good sleep delays slacking of skin.
Beating stress is another therapy. Stress causes overall damage to body and health.

Drinking a lot of water, getting a sound sleep and exercise has already been mentioned as stress busters. Indulging in a warm bubble bath, listening to music and playing your favourite sport are also good ways of beating stress. Yoga is yet another way of beating stress; it is fast gaining popularity amongst the masses.

Avoiding excessive exposure to sun (by wearing long sleeved clothes, hat and umbrella etc), is another strategy. Sunscreen lotions are also recommended as necessary.

A lot of traditional and home made products/ measures are also known to be very effective. Such measures are not only natural and easy-to-follow, but also relatively inexpensive.

Besides that, a lot of natural skin care products are available in the commercial market. These include things like lavender oil, aloe vera etc., which don’t have any side effects.

Most boils also known as skin abscess appear as a red lump on the skin that grows and becomes filled with pus. This is commonly due to infection around the hair follicles and the boils can be found at your back, neck, armpit or any part of the body.

The boil will usually take several days before it is ready to be lanced. Look out for the formation of a head (a small pustule) and when the boil becomes soft.

The easiest way to treat your boil is probably to lance it, or bursting it to release the pressure and let the pus flow out. This is a painful process and if not done correctly, the affected area could be infected with bacteria and
filled with pus again.

The right way to lance a boil is to sterilize the affected area and needle with alcohol and prepare a bandage for the wound. You will need to wash your hands with soap and ensure they are clean to prevent bacteria from affecting the wound, before you actually burst the boil.

But if you are not brave enough to endure the pain, there are some alternative ways to treat a boil.

You can try using the moisture and heat method for boils treatment.

Soak the boil in warm water and this should relieve some pain and drain the boil out. Also, a warm and damp compact applied to the skin for 20-30 minutes, 3-4 times a day can also draw the boil out.

Once the boil drains, you need to wash the wound with antibacterial soap, or apply iodine to ensure that no bacteria can enter the fresh wound and cause further infection of the boil.

The final way of removing boil without much pain and naturally is to use the homeopathic treatment. Homeopathy works holistically, addressing a condition’s mental and physical aspects.

When treating boils with homeopathy, observe any accompanying emotions in addition to the primary symptom of localized skin abscesses.

One of the homeopathic medicine echinacea is a very popular and commonly used herbal supplement that boosts the immune system naturally. It can be taken by people who frequently suffer from boils, to prevent recurring infections.

Hepar Sulphur, also called “Liver of Sulphur” is a name which was given by the old chemists to several sulphur compounds that have a liver-colored appearance, including Hepar.

It is particularly useful when a person develops extreme skin sensitivity. Hepar will likely be acting on the boil before they open, reducing pain, itch and swelling.

Bee Propolis first crossed our path when I was in acute pain from a kidney infection. Before I got to the doctor a friend gave me some and within an hour all the pain had gone. I felt a bit of a fraud going to see the doctor!

‘Propolis, a substance with the greatest efficiency against the greatest number of diseases’. This was the amazing conclusion of Dr K Lund Aagaard, the prominent Danish scientist after carrying out many tests into the properties of it.

So what exactly is Bee Propolis? It is one of the seven products of the Bee Hive and is the sticky substance gathered by bees from tree bark, plants and leaves. It is a hard and brittle substance when cold but soft and sticky when warm.

This is not a product for you if you are allergic to tree resin!

Bees line the inside of their hives with it to sterilize them and to protect them from intruders and infection. If insects or indeed rodents enter the hive they are stung to death and then completely encased in propolis which eliminates any bacterial activity contaminating the hive. Bees also use it to seal any cracks in their hive, hence it is also known as Bee Glue.

It is reported that the interior of a bee-hive is many times more sterile than most operating theatres in western hospitals!

As with all natural God given products, Bee Propolis has a very long world-wide history. It was used as a wound dressing during the Boer war in South Africa. The Soviet Army used it during World War II and refer to it as ‘Russian penicillin’.

Hippocrates, the father of medicine, used it to heal sores and ulcers, both internal and external.

Remy Chauvin, MD, of Sorbonne, Paris spoke of propolis saying it has a, ‘one hundred percent killing effect on bacteria and said that ‘propolis works by raising the body’s natural resistance to infection through stimulating one’s own immune system’.

This helps explain why propolis is such a remarkable probiotic helping to fight disease reactions within the body. Many people take it daily and are generally free of all colds, infections, flu and other typical winter problems. It can even help control runaway cell breakdown, a condition symptomatic of cancer.

Bee Propolis immobilizes infectious bacteria, viruses, fungi, and other harmful foreign agents by surrounding the agent, sealing them up, and rendering them useless. While killing bad bacteria it boosts the good bacteria thus making one less susceptible to further problems.

One lady reported to us how she had successfully dealt with a fungal infection. After battling for weeks with a fungus under her little finger nail, which had twice lifted and removed the nail completely, she started to use a liquid propolis. She applied a drop morning and evening and the whole problem quickly cleared up.

Interestingly propolis is consistently effective because bacteria, viruses, and fungi cannot, for some reason, build a tolerance to it. Doesn’t that cause you to wonder why it is not more widely known and used?

Significant studies have shown the anti-inflammatory, anti-tumour and antioxidant effects of Bee Propolis. These three capacities alone should be a cause for much greater research and promotion.
