Immune Support
Oreganol – what is it actually for? Flu, any other sickness, or general immune support?
It’s oregano and it’s an herb used in seasoning food. It’s reputed to have antioxidant qualities due to its phenolic acid content. It’s also used to treat infection (bacterial & parasitic), coughs, asthma and other lung conditions, indigestion, menstrual problems, UTIs and arthritis. I’m not saying it works, just what it’s used to treat. It’s also sometimes used to step on pot.

Immune System: How to Boost the Immune System Using Hypnosis
Immune system help is available in a number of different forms. You can find immunity support through your physician and you can use medical interventions depending on the state of your bodily systems. Self-Healing hypnosis can guide you to better immunity by working with the hardware in your brain.
Immune System Hardware
Your mind is wired to interact with your body on a subconscious level. You may not have developed strong body awareness but you can do this using the inner workings of your mind. Hypnosis is a wonderful approach that delves deep into your subconscious mind in order to create physical, emotional and mental harmony.
When you carry negative feelings of doubt and anxiety, you can become more prone to illness. This has a very significant impact on your ability to overcome sickness and you may be more susceptible to viruses, colds and other illnesses. Your state of mind has a direct effect on your ability to heal and to stay healthy.
Stress and Immunity
The connection between intractable stress and immune system problems is no secret. Stress and anxiety are linked to conditions like arthritis, asthma and allergic reactions. You are more susceptible to medical problems when you are under a great deal of emotional and mental stress.
The stress and anxiety does not have to exist on a conscious level to be problematic. You can have subconscious thought processes and emotions that can wreak havoc on your immunity to infection and disease. Consider how your body’s thoughts and emotions work together to cause physical responses.
Mind Control and Physical Responses
You have probably experienced intense emotion that has a profound effect on your physical being. Perhaps your stomach turned at the idea of speaking in public or you became dizzy when given horrible news. Fear is another emotion that causes intense physical responses that you readily recognize.
Your subconscious mind may harbor some feelings that have negative physical responses like the ones that you consciously experience. The difference is that these reactions are subtle an since they work on an unconscious level, you are not aware of the negative interactions.
Subconscious Assistance
You can benefit from using self-hypnosis as a tool for reaching the subconscious mind. This practice assists you as develop healthier thought patterns that lead to a stronger immune system. Relaxation and focus guide you to a healthier vision and healthier body responses.
You can find support in self-hypnosis recordings. Steve G Jones M. Ed is a brilliant hypnotist who has created a stellar recording found here – Immune System Help – that is designed to develop healthy immunities. The masterful compilation found here – Self Healing Hypnosis – is by legendary hypnotherapist, Duncan McColl. This selection offers guidance and support. Other outstanding selections are available here – Help Immune System. Just click on the links for additional information.

Experience with using holistic/alternative medicine to support the immune system during chemotherapy?
My mom is undergoing chemo for stage IV breast cancer, and is actually going to see a naturopathic doctor in a couple of weeks – the only one in her area was booked for months so it has taken awhile for her to get in. As anyone with experience with cancer knows, it is extremely toxic to the body – and I am wondering if anyone has had success using alternative treatments to help support the body and immune system during something like this?
Overall support of her system is called for with (gentle) tonics such as nettles and red clover along with slightly bitter herbs to help with nausea and appetite, such as dandelion root tincture taken in water before meals and/or warming ginger.
Healing and building foods such as mineral rich (organic if possible) bone marrow broths, root vegetables, fermented foods like real (raw & full of enzymes) sauerkraut, yogurt and miso are key helpers to nourish intestinal flora. Pretty much whatever healthy foods she loves and will eat will be medicine for her. Simple teas such as peppermint and chamomile too.
Certain herbs that are called adaptogens, specifically Withania, Shatavari, and Astragalus can also help her body adapt and strengthen from the inside. here is a link to an article at the NIH on use of these herbs in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/14698508
Reishi mushroom has a particular place of prominence with cancer patients and may be worth checking out as well for its many benfits during cancer and chemotherapy. There is a lot of information out there on this valuable fungi and its use in ameliorating the harsh side effects of chemotherapy.
Here is an article on possible synergistic effects of herbs during chemotherapy – herbs that can help heal the body as well as potentially increase the effectiveness of the treatment
http://www.herbalgram.org/wholefoodsmarket/herbclip/review.asp?i=43573
I have not worked with cancer patients yet have trained extensively in herbal and nutritional medicine.
Here are some websites of well-respected practitioners who work specifically with cancer patients

He has suggestions for books on this page and is the co-author of one that might be worth having:
Herbal Medicine, Healing & Cancer
I would also definitely suggest Breast Cancer Breast Health by Susun Weed
also: I Beat Cancer: 50 People Tell You How They Did It
Where you buy herbs and supplements truly does make a difference and quality varies a great deal! Organic groceries, co-ops, and whole-herb shops are generally far better than chain supplement and gimmicky shops.
I hope all this does not overwhelm you! There is no need to rush out and try to get everything. Good food is an excellent start, and then perhaps trying things one at a time to see how they’re working for her and what will truly be used consistently is possibly best. Emotional /spiritual support and/or checking out a breast cancer support group in your area might also be helpful.
Much Luck to you! I hope this is helpful. You are excellent to be there for her.
PS My Mom has also been sick which is probably why I felt compelled to compile this…

Promised Land [CD-ROM] Queensryche’s follow-up to the double-platinum Empire is something of an acquired taste, but it’s well worth the effort. There’s considerable variety here; the heavy progressive-rock of “I Am I” and the ballad “Bridge” were hit singles, but there’s also the funk-inflected “Disconnected”, the edgy, spooky “Lady Jane”, and the piano-and-vocals “Someone Else?”. The title track is probably the stronge… |
