"Natural Healing Encyclopedia" by Dr. Mark Stengler: A journey into holistic health
- Dr. Mark Stengler highlights remedies like MSM (anti-inflammatory), Boswellia (Ayurvedic herb) and homeopathic solutions (e.g., Rhus toxicodendron for arthritis, Arnica for bruises) as effective for chronic pain without synthetic drugs.
- The book advocates for wheat germ extract, nutrient-rich foods (broccoli, tomatoes) and minimizing sugar to "starve" cancer cells, based on Otto Warburg's research linking glucose to cancer growth.
- A Mediterranean diet (fruits, vegetables, nuts) is recommended, alongside supplements like CoQ10 and omega-7 fatty acids. Pomegranate juice is noted for reducing LDL oxidation and lowering blood pressure.
- Adrenal fatigue remedies include adaptogens (ashwagandha, rhodiola) and IV vitamin therapy, while thyroid support may alleviate fibromyalgia symptoms. Hormonal balance is key for energy and pain management.
- Natural aids like Caralluma (appetite suppression) and low-level laser therapy (e.g., Zerona) are suggested, with emphasis on addressing hormonal imbalances (insulin, cortisol) alongside diet and exercise for sustainable results.
In a world where over-the-counter medications often dominate the conversation on health, Dr. Mark Stengler's "
Natural Healing Encyclopedia" emerges as a compelling guide to alternative remedies. This comprehensive book delves into the realm of natural healing, offering insights and solutions that could transform the way we approach health and wellness. From pain management to cancer prevention, heart health and beyond, Stengler's work is a treasure trove of information for those seeking a more holistic path to well-being.
Pain is an unwelcome companion in many lives, but Stengler presents several natural alternatives to conventional pain relievers. One such option is MSM (methylsulfonylmethane), a compound found in living organisms that acts as a potent anti-inflammatory. MSM has been shown to provide lasting relief for chronic conditions like back pain, fibromyalgia and osteoarthritis. Another natural remedy gaining attention is Boswellia, an herb used in Ayurvedic medicine. Studies have demonstrated its effectiveness in alleviating pain for individuals who have not responded to traditional treatments.
Homeopathic remedies also play a significant role in Stengler's approach to pain management. Rhus toxicodendron, derived from poison oak, is particularly beneficial for arthritis pain that worsens in the morning or during damp weather. Arnica, another homeopathic remedy, is a go-to solution for pain resulting from bumps or bruises, often providing relief within minutes.
Stengler's exploration of cancer prevention highlights the potential of wheat germ extract as a promising new cancer fighter. Research indicates that it can reduce the risk of cancer progression and decrease the incidence of infections in children undergoing chemotherapy. Additionally, Stengler emphasizes the role of diet in cancer prevention, advocating for foods like broccoli, tomatoes and cold-water fish, along with supplements such as vitamin D and selenium.
A particularly intriguing concept discussed by Stengler is the idea of "starving" cancer cells by limiting sugar intake. This approach is based on the work of Otto Warburg, who discovered that cancer cells thrive on glucose. By reducing simple sugars and refined carbohydrates in the diet, individuals may potentially deprive cancer cells of their energy source, underscoring the importance of diet in both cancer prevention and treatment.
Maintaining a healthy heart is a priority for many, and Stengler emphasizes the role of diet and supplements in achieving this goal. He recommends a Mediterranean-style diet, rich in fruits, vegetables, nuts and olive oil, which has been shown to reduce the risk of heart disease by 30 percent. For those seeking a natural boost, he suggests supplements like Indian gooseberry extract, omega-7 fatty acids and Coenzyme Q10, all of which have been studied for their heart-protective properties.
A fun fact highlighted by Stengler is the heart-healthy benefits of pomegranate juice. Studies have shown that it can reduce the oxidation of "bad" LDL cholesterol by 40 percent and help lower blood pressure, making it an excellent addition to a heart-healthy diet.
Fatigue is a common concern, and Stengler delves into the concept of adrenal fatigue, a condition often triggered by stress and worsened by poor nutrition. He recommends a combination of lifestyle changes and supplements like ashwagandha, rhodiola and American ginseng to restore balance and boost energy levels. For those with severe fatigue, he suggests a targeted "vitamin cocktail" delivered via IV for a significant energy boost.
Stengler also discusses the link between an underfunctioning thyroid gland and fibromyalgia, explaining that boosting thyroid hormone levels can be crucial in resolving pain and muscle weakness. This insight highlights the importance of addressing underlying hormonal imbalances.
Finally, Stengler explores various natural approaches to weight loss, including the use of Caralluma, a cactus extract that suppresses appetite and enhances metabolism. He emphasizes the role of hormones in weight management, suggesting that imbalances can be a major roadblock to losing weight. For those seeking a more high-tech solution, he introduces the concept of low-level laser therapy, like the Zerona laser, which can help eliminate fat cells without surgery or pain.
Stengler stresses that there is no magic bullet for weight loss. Instead, he advocates for a holistic approach, combining diet, exercise and natural supplements to achieve long-term success. For those struggling with stubborn belly fat, he suggests addressing hormonal imbalances, particularly high insulin, cortisol and estrogen levels.
Dr. Mark Stengler's "Natural Healing Encyclopedia" offers a wealth of knowledge for those interested in exploring natural remedies. While it is essential to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new treatment, the book provides a valuable resource for those seeking a more holistic approach to health and wellness. As we continue to navigate the complexities of modern health, Stengler's insights remind us of the power of nature and the importance of addressing the root causes of our ailments.
