Vitamin D and Asthma

Vitamin D and Asthma
Republished with permission of Natural Standards Research Collaboration ©2010

---

A recent review of medical literature suggests that vitamin D deficiency may be linked to asthma. Vitamin D is found in foods, such as eggs, fish and fortified milk. It is also produced in the body after sun exposure. Adequate vitamin D levels are necessary for the body to absorb the essential minerals calcium and phosphorus. It is also important for immune system function and healthy bones. The review, published in Annals of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology, evaluated studies that were conducted between 1950 and 2009 and indexed on the PubMed database of the National Library of Medicine. The authors of the review surveyed studies that contained the following keywords: asthma, vitamin D, inflammation, airway smooth muscle and cytokines. Overall, the studies suggested that vitamin D deficiency may be linked to airway inflammation, decreased lung function and poor asthma control. The review authors hypothesized that vitamin D supplementation may help improve asthma symptoms by preventing the release of inflammatory cytokines and increasing the secretion of anti-inflammatory proteins. Vitamin D is also thought to play a role in immune function, which may benefit patients with allergic asthma. However, many of the studies included in the review were observational, and were not explicitly designed to test the effects of vitamin D supplementation on patients with asthma. Therefore, additional long-term trials are needed to determine exactly how vitamin D may affect the condition. If you have lung problems or asthma, we can help.

Structured water to improve your health

It was documented that using structured water can be beneficial for your health. Our holistic center is currently start using “AQUA VITAL”, which is a unique device developed by Russian scientists. It is used to make structural water.

The device has no analogues in the world.

The basis of the device integrates discoveries in quantum medicine, high-information technologies and thousand-year experience of Oriental medicine.

The device is designed to change water properties and produce water, which can be used for self-dependent recovery both at home and at medical institutions. The device has no contra-indications.

Developed and used algorithms and device techniques allow fully recovering energetic process inside human organism. The water conditioned with the device starts organism’s latent reserves both at single cell level and complete organism level, normalizing immunity and mobilizing its protective functions. Clinical trials have shown that for most people, who tested the new restructured water, there were observed cell activation, and cell metabolism improvement that resulted in increase of protective functions of organism.

The device uses the “golden section” principle and so called matrix whose medical effect on water were used as early as in Ancient Egypt.

The device uses unique water capability to accumulate, store and transfer a specific energy-and-information component. The water structured with Device “AQUA VITAL” makes positive effect during treatment of such diseases as: diabetes, hypertension, atherosclerosis, urological and many others.

Device unique capabilities to change water structure resulted in possibility to use the water as source of youth.

It was discovered that there are 44,000 different formations so called “information boards” in one water cell. So water is a hierarchically structured medium, a bio-computer which store and re-transmit information. Water structured elements are remained intact during boiling, and at freezing the molecules are crystallized and became structured ice. Analysis has shown that human and animal baby’s cells contain specifically structured water. It has discovered that it exert powerful recovery influence: it removes toxins out of cells and slows down aging.

Why One Should Use Device “AQUA VITAL”

The problem is that at present days electromagnetic radiation intensity is rising from day to day due to man-caused factor. At that majority of different radiation accumulated together form extremely complicated chaotic structure, which adversely effect people. As a result, organism’s protective systems degrade and a physical pathology develops, which can be intensified by additional factors: irrational nutrition, low-activity life style, stresses, chemical and biological pollution of environment, etc.

Water structure is reflection of environment structure via spectrum and intensity distribution of electromagnetic radiation, gravitation, power or super-weak interactions. That is why we determined that our structured water is water which can stands destructive breaking impact of environment.

The device features with possibility to program water conditioning in accordance with disease character and directly improve the organism’s systems:

1. Cardiovascular System

2. Sympathetic Nervous System.

3. Musculoskeletal System.

4. Immune System.

5. Digestive System

6. Parasympathetic Nervous System.

7. Hematology System.

8. Urology System.

9. Breathing System.

0. Endocrine System.

Device “AQUA VITAL” is the only device that can change water condition harmoniously without changing water aggregate state and not applying significant efforts to modify environmental conditions.

During operation the device stimulates hydrogen peroxide decay, activates formation of oxygen active forms: hydroxyl radicals (OH*), super-oxide radicals (OH2*), hydroxide radical (OH2*) which are responsible for reductive-oxidative processes taking place in protein and non-protein structures. At the same time metal salt valent states are activated.

MEDICAL-AND-RECOVERY WATER
CONDITIONING AND USAGE PROCEDURE

It is recommended to drink up to 2-2.5 liters a day not including water of tea, coffee and other drinks and food. It is desirable to drink the water in small portions. At exacerbation of such diseases as urological, increased blood pressure, different post-surgical states, quantity of consumed water should be reduced to 1-1.5 liters.

Up to 5 liters can be conditioned at time.

Water container should be transparent, plastic.

The water retains its medicinal properties during 24 hours then its properties are decreased. So it is recommended to drink newly conditioned water.

1. Using the structured water for weight loss

Using the structured water all toxic substances, carcinogens and waste are removed from organism. This effect is achieved due to reducing of surface tension force of water molecules that determines level of water assimilability by organism. The less surface tension force is the less energy is needed by organism to use it and the water easily reacts with adipose cell and removes unnecessary elements in normal way.

Structured water amount for weight loss should be no less than 2-2.5 liters per day. The water should be consumed in small portions during all day and up to 200 ml in 15-30 minutes before meal. Programs 5, 7, 8, 10 should be used to condition the water. For example: Use Program 5 at the first day, Program 7 at the second day, etc.

2. Using the structured water for diabetes treatment

Diabetes is an endocrine disease caused by secretion failure or by low biological activity of insulin. And one of the causes of the severe diseases is chronic dehydration and usage of bad water.

Children diabetes progresses in the same way as adult ones but at higher speed. All that starts with pancreas, which produced insulin at normal condition. This hormone has significant importance for regulation of water interchange inside cells. Therefore it is very important that your child drinks just water not its “substitutes”. Actually there are no any such substitutes. Even fruit juices, which are needed to be included into ration in order to supply vitamins, needs can not serve as water supply. Unfortunately in urban environment you cannot drink water from the tap, which is pure. Even bottled water accumulates so much unnecessary information during its extraction, purification, storage and transportation. Device “AQUA VITAL” removes this information and put into water memory harmonic information customized for specific organism system.

At diabetes you should start to drink the structured water from 1 liters per day and subsequently increase portion up to 2.5 liters.

You should use Program 10 to condition the water.

The structured water does not substitute medicines.

3. Using the structured water during pregnancy period

Water used by a woman during childbearing is a very important moment. She must refuse alcoholic drinks, tea, coffee but it is desirable to drink the structured water because it has the most physiological properties i.e. it is closer to natural water.

The structured water reduces qualm and vomit rate of future mothers and allows child to grow harmonically in mother womb.

You should use all programs starting with # 1 to condition the water.

The water can be consumed all day long without limits.

4. Using the structured water at cardiovascular diseases

The structured water maintains optimal blood viscosity diluting it and preventing blood from coagulation during circulation and settling of hard deposits at vascular walls and in such way preventing heart and brain arteries from plugging and reducing risk of heart attack and cerebral thrombosis!

You should start drinking the water from 1 liter per day and gradually increase portion to two liters per day. There can be limitation at increased arterial pressure.

You should use Program 1 to condition the water.

5. Using the structured water as common restorative and prophylactic

Human organism consists of 75% of water. They think that brain consists of 85% of water and is characterized by extraordinary sensitivity to dehydration. Brain is washed by salt spinal liquid. Therefore it is very important to maintain water-salt balance and it is better to do that with the structured water.

Normal adult needs to use 2-2.5 liters per day as minimum. At cell level water works as a binding agent. It binds cell hard parts, forming cell membrane, which protects cell from external influences. At dehydration membrane is reinforced by cholesterol that results in increase of cholesterol concentration and in all subsequent troubles.

You should use all programs starting with # 1 to condition the water.

At Amita Holistic Healing Center, we are glad to offer you this unique device incorporating many years’ work of Russian scientists. Come to Amita for complimentary sample of our special structured water prepared for your needs. Call at 718-375-1144 for appointment.

Micro-current Therapy

Micro current stimulation is a therapy used, when electric current is provided in literally millionths of an amp. It works on a cellular level to help stimulate the healing process. It is based upon the theory that the body's electrical balance is disrupted when one is injured, so that the natural electrical current of the body changes course. Micro- current stimulation restores this balance.

In fact, micro-current therapy can relieve pain, stimulate wound healing, help stimulate the regeneration of injured tissue, provide relief to myofascial trigger points, increase protein synthesis, and stimulate lymphatic flow. This therefore restores the body’s own natural current.

When micro-current therapy is used to help heal injured tissue, it restores the natural current flow to the tissue. This in turn allows the cells to regain their own natural energy flow. When injury occurs, the area that has been injured has a higher electrical resistance than the surrounding tissue does. This in turns decreases and perhaps even stops electrical flow through the injured area, which impedes the healing process and promotes inflammation. When micro-current therapy is used, this resistance is reduced, which allows electricity to flow through and therefore restore normal function. This, in turn, helps stimulate natural healing.

In addition, micro-current therapy can be used at specific frequencies for a variety of tissues and conditions. This can often soften tissue and decrease pain, which provides long-lasting pain relief that may even be permanent. This has some promising benefits that may also be applicable to current chronic pain conditions.

For example, fibromyalgia and myofascial pain have been shown to be greatly reduced and even eliminated with the use of micro-current therapy. When traumatic injury occurs, such as that which occurs with sports, both tendons and ligaments seem to repair much more quickly, and inflammation and swelling is also reduced.

In addition, soft tissue regeneration is improved. It has also been found that if magnet therapy is combined along with micro-current therapy, the benefits can be amplified.

Still another exciting and possible use of micro-current therapy is to help cure addiction. Behavioral programs such as those used to stop smoking, lose weight, or stop drinking seem to benefit from the use of micro-current therapy as well.

Finally, it may also have anti aging and general health benefits. Thus far, studies have shown that using micro-current therapy can help stimulate and re-hydrate collagen, increase the uptake of nutrients within cells, and significantly stimulate the excretion of waste products, including heavy metal from inside cells. Therefore, micro-current therapy may soon be on the horizon not just as a pain relief therapy for those who have been injured or who are suffering from chronic pain, but as a general health and well-being "maintenance" practice used to sustain good health.

Micro-current can be used for a variety of applications such as:

Fibromyalgia Myofascial Pain Auto, Work, and Sports injuries Rotator Cuff injuries Scar tissue and Fibroid tissue Rapid Pain Management TMJ Dysfunction Tendon and ligament repair Fractures Stimulation of acupuncture points Trigger point therapy Balance Energy Meridians Joint pain Edema / Lymphatic drainage Post Herpetic Neuralgia Wound Healing Post surgical pain and healing Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Neuropathic pain Lymphatic Congestion Cystitis Endometriosis Constipation Viral Infections Frozen Shoulder Nerve root irritation

· Liver Toxicity, Liver Virus, Liver Fibrosis · Liver enhancement of detoxification pathways · Pancreas enhancement of function · Pancreas in relation to assist in the control of Diabetes · Gut: Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Ulcerative Colitis, Gastritis, Leaky Gut · Lungs and Bronchi: to improve function · Kidneys, improve function · Gallbladder, Digestion, Constipation: to improve function · Immune support · Adrenals improve function · Thyroid support with or without increasing secretions · Emotional Relaxation / Balance · Some forms of Depression · Cognitive function "Brain Fog" · Neutralize effects of toxin exposure · Neutralize effects of past infections · Age Related Macular Degeneration

At Amita Holistic Healing Center we use micro-current therapy in the range of 0-600Hz, which is very safe and effective. Usually we use it in combination with acupuncture and /or low-level laser stimulation of acupuncture points.

Su Jok Korean Acupuncture

Introduction

Su Jok literally translates into Hand and Foot : (Su means a hand, and Jok means a foot). Su Jok is a form of acupuncture or acupressure therapy, which is highly condensed and focused on the treatment of diseases and disorders by concentrating only on hands and feet.

Unlike classical acupuncture treatment by Su-Jok is accomplished solely on hand and foot which reflects the name of this method. According to the Su-Jok acupuncture system, highly active point's correspondent to all internal organs and parts of body are available on hand and foot. Stimulation of these points gives normalizing influence to the function of diseased organs.
The points are composed in a strict anatomical order, reflecting the structure of the body in a diminished form. This is explained with the fact that the hand and foot reflecting principles of hologram repeat the physical structure of the body, especially in comparison with its architectonic.

Though Sujok treatment is done only in hands & feet it is for all the diseases affecting all the systems & whole body.

Origin

The first information on acupuncture date from the period of finding stone needles (3,000 BC) that are nowadays property of the Korean National Museum and the only direct proof of the assumption that ancient Korea must have been one of acupuncture cradles. There is a written record based on these investigations, which is at the same time the oldest medical book in the world, the book Nei Ching. In translation it means a stone needle and it originates from east part of China.

Basic principles in Su Jok therapy
According to the principles of Onnuri medicine and Oriental Energetic Concepts, diseases occur in human body and mind are purely due to the imbalances of the forces acting on them. Su Jok achieves cure by bringing on balance and harmony of the forces in the body and mind.

Stimulation and Treatment

Su Jok contains many methods of treatment. One method we experience every day is by walking on our feet and working with our hands. This gives us constant, random stimulation on corresponding points; however, purposeful hand and foot massage (also known as hand or foot reflexology) is even better. There are many methods of stimulation besides mechanical pressure, including:

1. Miniature magnets designed both to give both mechanical and magnetic force stimulation;
   2. Moxibustion in the form of: (a) moxa sticks; (b) moxa the size of rice grains held on the hand or foot by small holders to prevent direct contact; and (c) direct thread moxa;
   3. Massage rollers to stimulate the hands and feet;
   4. Soft lasers;
   5. Miniature hand needles; and
   6. Colored transparent plastic discs placed strategically on charka hand points.

Other methods will be developed based on our technological and biological advancements in understanding on the physical and quantum levels of human functioning.

Conditions for use

Some of the more common disorders frequently treated with Su Jok Acupuncture include:
headaches and epilepsy
disorders of the limbs and musculature, such as:

fibrosis
rheumatism
lumbago
muscle cramps
digestive disorders, such as:
nausea, constipation, diarrhea
hepatitis
cardiovascular disorders
genitourinary disorders
gynecological disorders
sexual dysfunction
disorders of the eyes, ears, nose and throat
skin disorders
nervous system and psychiatric disorders
obesity
addiction to alcohol, nicotine and heroin

Dr. Tatyana Yakovleva is using Su Jok acupuncture in her daily practice combined with traditional Chinese and French acupuncture.

Weight and Cardiovascular problems

The idea of a kid having cardiovascular disease may seem ridiculous, but it’s not. A study hosted by the Canadian Cardiovascular Society and the Heart and Stroke foundation studied 63 obese children and 55 normal weight children. Researchers evaluated blood pressure, lipids (cholesterol in the blood), echocardiograph exams (ultrasound of the heart and blood vessels) and body mass index (BMI) for each child. The scientists found that, in the obese children, blood pressure was only slightly higher and cholesterol levels were normal, yet they were shocked to find that the obese children’s arterial health was abnormal. These kids had significantly impaired elastic qualities of the aorta – otherwise known as Atherosclerosis. Their arteries were already hardening! Typically, atherosclerosis (hardened arteries) is something that only “older” people aged 40+ worry about. Most people never even set foot inside a cardiologist’s office until they are over 35. According to a 2007-2008 National Health and Nutrition Survey, 17% of US kids aged 2-19 are overweight or obese. That’s over 9 million kids. And an estimated 15% more are at risk for becoming overweight. Is your kid one of the 9 million that are at risk for heart disease? If your child is overweight or if your family has a history of overweight or obesity, now is the time to take action. These days, most schools are cutting recess and physical education time, as well as sports and other recreation programs. The answer is in your hands, parents. It’s a matter of life and death – literally! Here are at Amita Holistic Healing Center top recommendations for keeping your children fit, eliminating obesity and staying heart healthy. Have a variety of nutritious foods easily accessible at home. Stock your fridge with fresh fruit and veggies. For quick snacks, try apple slices with nut butter or carrot sticks with hummus. Don’t keep candy, cakes, cookies, ice cream, and other highly processed junk foods in the home. Encourage your child to make healthy choices when eating outside your home. Kids love to hang out at fast food restaurants and pizza shops. Help them find things that are nutritious to eat at their local favorite hang-out so they can be with their friends and stay healthy. Create substitutions for soda. Offer pure water or sparkling water with a splash of cranberry, lemon or lime instead. When juices are consumed, cut with water or check labels to ensure they do not contain high fructose syrup or other added sweeteners. Get your child active on a daily basis. This can mean signing them up for sports, speaking with your child’s school PTA about lobbying for more physical education time, using after school and weekend family time for physical activities or encouraging them to try dance, yoga or other creative movement groups that focus on fitness. Use non-food rewards to motivate your child. If your child is used to receiving food as a reward for finishing homework or doing well in sports, try another approach. Reward by taking them to a special event such as a movie, sporting event, theater or a day trip. This will lessen the focus on food, which will help later in life as well. Notice your child’s response to stress around food. Some kids use food as a way to deal with stress or anxiety. Sound familiar? Maybe you do, too. Find physical activities or another outlet for stress that is a healthier choice. Utilize your child’s school counseling services if necessary. Lead by example. Cook and eat nutritious food. Make exercise a priority. Deal with stress and anxiety in healthy ways. Include the whole family in planning, shopping for and preparing healthy meals. Kids follow your lead – even if you don’t think they notice. Your behavior makes a difference in their behavior long-term. If you need some help getting on the right path with these suggestions or if you need assistance in addressing a medical condition that is leading to your child’s weight issue, it’s time to partner with Dr. Tatyana Yakovleva, who specializes in weight issues. Dr. Yakovleva is an expert in the field and has been supporting families’ health for over 20 years. She will take the time to fully evaluate your child, complete with a comprehensive health history, physical exam and diagnostics and then create a customized treatment plan including the most safe, natural diet and supplement regimens available. Dr. Yakovleva also uses herbs, homeopathy, and many other holistic therapies to gently restore balance to children and adults. Are you ready to begin? Call 718-375-1144 to make an appointment.

Body energy balancing

Our mind is like a magnet, which draws unto itself its one like, type and kind.

For many of us the power of attraction in our mind is too weak to meet the demands. A magnet can only draw to itself in proportion to its own power. Our mental magnet is greatly reduced in strength by our worries and our fears, and our inflow of good is slowly closed off or muted. If our mental force becomes too weak, we may even repel what little good that is trying to reach us.

Just as we can charge a magnet with electric energy to build up its power of magnetism, so we can our mind. Our mind can be charged with mental energy that builds up our power of attraction.

There is a spiritual law that says you can have anything you are willing to become. We do live in a world that operates by the Law of Attraction and we have a magnetic radius to the energy that we primarily hold.

If we want to bring something into our lives or experience a new result, the place to begin is within ourselves. We can have anything we’re willing to become.

Walk in the world radiating the very thing you want to bring in your life. If you want more friendship, radiate friendship. If you want more love, then be loving to every person you meet in the most appropriate way. But, be that. Be the very thing you’d like to bring in your life.

Each one of us can truly and really have anything we’re willing to become.

Try our body energy balancing techniques. You can be amazed on how effective it can be. Call our office at 718-375-1144

Smoking

Greetings ,

October is a month rich with health observance “holidays”. Lung Health Month is among those getting the most press. Anti-smoking campaigns that use the gross-out factor, or try to threaten the ill-effects of smoking clearly haven’t wiped out this very un-healthy habit. Smokers love to smoke. They may feel glamorous or sexy smoking, or they may be wrestling with an addiction that has plagued them for years.

According to the American Lung Association, smoking kills over 390,000 people each year and is the primary cause of preventable deaths in the US, with an additional 50,000 deaths caused by second-hand smoke. Most smokers are well aware that lung, mouth and throat cancers are consequences of smoking, but may not feel these risks are an immediate threat.

What they may not understand is the OTHER, more immediate risks of smoking that don’t get as much press. Cigarette smoke produces as many as 4,000 chemicals, including heavy metals like arsenic, cadmium, polonium and lead. These toxins are stuck to the leaves, even after processing and get lodged in the tar that collects in the smoker’s lungs and absorbed by their tissues, creating a host of other problems including DNA mutation, brain chemistry imbalance, organ dysfunction and damage to the nervous system that can cause changes in behavior.

Check out the following heavy metals that may create havoc in your system if you smoke.

• Cadmium - Modulates gene expression and signal transduction, reduces activities of proteins involved in antioxidant defense, interferes with DNA repair which modifies cancer development and brain function.
• Arsenic - Causes gastrointestinal symptoms such as severe vomiting, disturbances of the blood and circulation, damage to the nervous system, and eventually death. May reduce blood cell production, break up red blood cells in circulation, enlarge the liver, color the skin, produce tingling and loss of sensation in the limbs, and cause brain damage.
• Lead - May cause anemia, damage to the brain and nervous system, headaches, digestive issues and kidney dysfunction.
• Polonium - deposited in the soft tissue such as the spleen, kidneys, and liver, with a small amount also deposited in bone marrow. Repeated exposure or large amounts can cause intestinal hemorrhage, anemia, bleeding, overwhelming infections, kidney failure and skin conditions.

Try our new anti smoking program. You may eliminate your smoking habit after one session.
