The Dangers of a B12 Deficiency and why it could be more serious than you think

Posted on November 19, 2019 by nethanpaul

My goal is to spread awareness so we can reduce suffering from something that is so easily preventable and treatable.

It seems a B12 deficiency can mimic or possibly even have an underlying cause of multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s, Dementia, Autism, Fibromyalgia, Infertility, and Post-partum depression, just to name a few. In fact, knowing what I know now, I think it could have led to my diagnosis with CRPS 6 years ago.

Here’s the deal, B-12 is CRAZY important, in fact, it’s CRITICAL to life, but it’s also the most difficult vitamin to absorb, which is why so many people are deficient and don’t even know it.

THE DANGERS OF A B12 DEFICIENCY

True confession, I’m not a huge fan of hospitals and rarely go unless absolutely necessary. Nothing against Doctors and Nurses, I have so much respect for all healers and my mom and grandmother even worked in a hospital at one point, but I find the sterile environment a little intimidating. Not to mention it seems some doctors care more about treating symptoms vs. finding the root cause.

I believe in self-healing. I believe in integrative medicine. I believe food is medicine. I believe in holistic medicine. And I believe in hospitals. I believe all have a time and a place.

You can judge me on this if you want, but I try to pay attention to my body and let my intuition guide me, and so far it’s never failed. I’m not saying this is right or wrong, it’s just what I’ve always done. Eric knows when I’m really not feeling well because I ask him to take me to the doctor.

Sweet Dreams: 7 Tips To Getting The Best Sleep Of Your Life

Posted on November 6, 2019 by nethanpaul

After a long and taxing day, all you want to do is lie down and sleep on your warm and soft bed. However, there are times when you can’t quickly fall asleep. There are a lot of factors why you can’t sleep, such as unpleasant odor, distracting noises, or overthinking about problems.

Getting enough sleep at night is essential. If you don’t get quality sleep, you won’t have the energy for the next day. Here are some nifty tips to help you sleep better at night so you can wake up refreshed in the morning.

1. Turn off Appliances and Gadgets

The light from the screen can distract you, making it harder for you to fall asleep. Turn off your TV and other appliances at least an hour before you go to sleep. Don’t place your phone near you because you might get tempted to keep using it and you’ll sleep later than your usual sleeping time.

2. Avoid Late Afternoon Naps

It’s okay to take naps, but do it in the earlier part of the day. If you sleep in the afternoon, you’ll feel awake at night. If you feel sleepy during the afternoon, do something to wake yourself up like taking a short walk or talking to somebody.

3. Schedule your Sleeping time

Allot 7 hours per day for sleeping, but don’t sleep for more than 8 hours. Set a schedule for your sleeping time. Try to wake up and sleep at the same time every day even on weekends. If you have a hard time falling asleep, do something relaxing such as listening to music.

TOP 10 HERBS FOR HERBAL VAPING USE

Posted on November 2, 2019 by nethanpaul

Aromatherapy has been used for centuries to relieve ailments such as the common cold or flu. This involves the heating and smoking of herbs to get the benefits of the aroma it emits. The problem with that method is that the process of combustion, which creates the smoke you inhale, releases chemicals that have been shown to affect the health negatively. Fortunately, technological advancements have led to the creation of devices that allow you to enjoy aromatherapy’s benefits without worrying about the negative effects of smoking.

One of the devices currently being advised as a healthier alternative to smoking is the handheld vaporizer. There is a wide range of options where an herbal vaporizer is concerned, and a wide range of herbs you can safely vaporize as well. Here are some of the best aromatherapy herbs you may want to use the next time you vaporize:

1. Basil – If you’re suffering from a gassy stomach, you can get relief by vaporizing this herb. Basil has a soothing aroma that helps you relax. Volatile oils are also released when you vaporize it, which adds to its relaxing and soothing effect. Note, though, that pregnant women are advised against using this herb in excess because it can lead to premature contractions.

2. Cannabis – Although this herb has been the subject of debate for years, there is plenty of anecdotal evidence and ample documentation of its beneficial effects on your health. There are, in fact, many people all over the world who use cannabis for medical purposes, such as the pain associated with cancer treatment as well as relief from anxiety and depression. The use of cannabis remains illegal in many places, but its legalization is gradually gaining ground. There are now 14 states in the U.S. where medical marijuana has been legalized. Even if medical marijuana is already legal in your place, remember to always use caution when vaporizing cannabis. Wherever possible, use medical cannabis only under the supervision of a qualified medical professional and vaporize only within the advisable temperature range.

3. Chamomile – Perhaps the best reason to vaporize chamomile is to benefit from its sedative effects. This herb has been known for centuries to aid in relieving indigestion, headaches, stress, anxiety, and depression. Although it is typically prepared in the form of tea, chamomile is also well-suited to vaporizers of any kind. It can also be blended with other herbs such as sativa and cannabis to increase its stress-reducing effect. Even better news is that chamomile is safe even for children and pregnant women. Be sure to consult your doctor, though, if insomnia and anxiety is a chronic problem.

Can Vaping Help You Quit Smoking?

Posted on October 23, 2019 by nethanpaul

The debates about whether e-cigarettes should be used as smoking cessation aids have been ongoing for the better part of the last decade. Since they were first introduced to the US market back in 2006, they have divided scientists and smokers alike. While there are still questions about the long-term effects of vaping on the health, there’s mounting scientific evidence that suggests e-cig benefits tied to smoking cessation may very well outweigh the concerns highlighted by the skeptics.

There have been numerous studies done on the subject, but perhaps the one that carries the most weight is the one conducted by the Public Health England (PHE) back in 2015. The authors of that comprehensive review have concluded that combustible cigarettes are still the number one preventable cause of death in the UK (and around the world) and that, in comparison, e-cigarettes are around 95 % safer.

Based on that report, the UK government has given permission to local authorities to include vaping on their lists of licensed and funded smoking cessation aids. Data shows that UK smoking rates have declined sharply since 2010 (from 17.2 % to 15.8 % for adults) and the biggest drop is seen with young adults (aged 18 to 24). In 2015, 26 % of this age group smoked, while that number is holding firmly at 19 % for the year 2016. Both drops are attributed to the use of electronic cigarettes. In 2017, the steady decline continued – by the end of that year, around 14.9% of the UK adult population was smoking. We still don’t have statistically relevant data for 2018 so we won’t assume things, but we wouldn’t be surprised to see an even lower number of smokers this time around.

Curly Hair, Fashion and Beauty: VitaStik Review

Posted on October 17, 2019 by nethanpaul

Woohoo its here!So many of you had questions about these products and have been waiting for this review.I’ve been using all three of these: Relax (Purple), Energize (Orange) and Grace (Green) in the past two weeks to get a real feel on how they work and if they really live up to the hype.As I mentioned in my first impressions, I had many reasons to review these which will be explained in each section.I’ve never touched a cigarette or vapour in my life, mainly because of the bad chemicals which these do not have.VitaStik also state on there website that these shouldn’t be used as an alternative to vitamins, as the dosage of these per inhale are only very small.Its also good for those who are trying to give up smoking and also those new (like me) get to vape without the bad stuff like nicotine and tar, which these do not contain.I’ve done a section on each VitaStik of my experience and my overall thoughts at the end, including my stepdad.So before I get into the review, I wanted to add a brief little description of VitaStik:

The first thing I noticed about these after taking them out of the box, was how simple yet sleek they are.They’re not bulky at all, which the majority of vapours are, and come with two caps to protect both ends.Next up was actually trying them, and it took me about 10minutes until I was “ready”, because I was 100% sure I was going to inhale it wrong.Taking the first inhale from Relax, my mouth was a mixture of blueberry and blackberry taste to which tasted amazing, to then realise I needed to blow it out (oops).I felt a sense of relaxation, either the thought of that I worked myself up over nothing or these were generally making me relax already.After roughly about 4 inhales, I began to feel fairly relaxed, and my anxiety surprisingly had subsided.Within that hour of smoking it which was about 10vapes, I began to feel extremely tired and ended up having a nap.After that I had been relaxed for the rest of the whole evening, with the blueberry and blackberry flavour still in my mouth.I also noticed later on that evening, that they all have a led light that lights up when you inhale which is a nice touch.

Is Vaping Your Vitamins Safe? What You Need To Know About VitaVape Trend

Posted on October 3, 2019 by nethanpaul

In the midst of my web surfing one day, I came across an advertisement for a vitamin vape pen (thanks Google ads). I had never heard of such a thing and was instantly intrigued. As a whole, vaping is a big trend right now. You can walk down the street to find vape shops and people smoking their own personal vape pens filled with anything from medicinal marijuana to flavored oils, and now…vitamins! Vaping, to me, seems a strange way to administer vitamins, but perhaps there could be benefits to it…couldn’t there?

I looked into the health claims and scientific research out there to find out exactly how it works and what–if any–benefits there are to vaping your vitamins. Whatever it is that goes into the vapor liquid, the devices all work the same: a heating component on one end aerosolizes the liquid solution, and the vapor is inhaled through a mouthpiece. There has been a lot of controversy around vaping and its safety. Supporters argue that there are no dangers and that using a vape device is much safer than inhaling smoke. I’m sure this is something we can all agree on–inhaling vapor is safer than inhaling smoke and all the carcinogens in cigarettes. However, that doesn’t necessarily mean that it is the best thing for your body.

Not all vapor liquids are created equal, meaning that the ingredient lists can differ greatly. VitaCig, a global company, has trademarked their name in a way that is misleading to customers. What looks at first like a vitamin enhanced product, is in reality just a part of their trademarked name. Their products contain proprietary blends of vitamins A, B, C, E and CoQ10. However, many of these vitamins are heat sensitive and the amount actually absorbed by the body is negligible. It would be the equivalent of attempting to get your vitamins from a Vitamin Water. In this case, don’t be deceived and look beyond the trademark name.
