More on Minerals for Health
The importance of minerals and trace elements can not be overstated when it comes to health and disease. Many afflictions have their roots in a mineral imbalance, or a deficiency. Or, just having a certain disease or health issue may deplete the body of certain essential minerals or vitamins. I have touched on this theme before, and feel it should be an important part of everyone's focus for optimum nutrition. A good progressive multivitamin should include a broad selection of trace minerals. For some of these minerals, an RDA has not been established. Some minerals are essential for optimum health, but required at very minute levels. The true picture is a complex one and no one person could possibly catalogue all the bodily processes that take place. The importance of minerals to our health is a topic that is very important, one which I have touched before, and I have more to add that can't be covered in this one article.
I wanted to touch on some deficiencies and corresponding health issues or illness. Rickets is related to a Calcium deficiency. My mom suffered with it as a baby during World War II. Scurvy was a disease affecting early travelers to North America and related to a Vitamin c deficiency and was overcome in later years by crews of ships eating limes while crossing the Atlantic to ensure Vitamin C uptake. Zinc deficiency can relate to many illnesses starting with Prostate Cancer and extending to impaired immune function and the common cold. Iron deficiency can lead to Anemia and death. Hemorrhoid sufferers have a deficiency of Vitamin K, Magnesium deficiency may lead to the disease of Gout. Alzheimer's disease research has shown a relation to too much Aluminium but may ultimately be caused by a mineral imbalance allowing Aluminium to accumulate in the brain. Calcium, magnesium, and Vitamin D deficiencies may contribute to Osteoporosis.
Supplements and herbs that are recommended for establishing mineral balance are Kelp, Alfalfa, Irish Moss, Icelandic moss, spirulina, blue green algae, barley greens, and wheat grass juice just to name a few. Also, one of the main virtues of juicing, may be not so much the vitamin content of juiced vegetables and fruit, but likely the trace minerals provided for easy absorption. Most minerals are best taken from vegetable and fruit sources and many minerals sourced through other means may not be very well absorbed in the human digestive tract.
So take your vitamins, but do not forget your minerals as well to establish a healthy you. If you suffer with Gout, Hemorrhoids symptoms, or would like additional suggestions for herbs for Gout or Hemorrhoids, please visit www.westernherbal.com
The Importance of Diet, Nutrition, and Farming in the U.S.
More On Diet Relating to Gout Suffering, and Hemorrhoid Symptoms
You have heard it said before, 'we are what we eat.' I would like someone to show me how that may be an inaccurate statement. I'll do my own self correcting; add-in some water, air (oxygen) and sunshine and season to taste. Diet is so important for optimum health, and it has to be a focal point for dealing with people's health issues. Supplementing our diet with vitamins, and key supplements is made necessary by our poor diets and nutrient poor food and produce. In a perfect world, all essential nutrition would be in the food we eat. Many places in the world have food that offers better nutrition than here in America by virtue of farming in better soil or better farming practices. I visit Germany on a fairly regular basis, and most anything you eat there has more flavor. Tomatoes, onions, apples, wheat, and most produce is farmed on a scale that differs from the type of farming and distribution in the U.S. Also, many places in the world practice crop rotation, which can actually put goodness and nutrients back into the soil. In Germany, often local produce ends up in the local markets and grocery stores, less time in transit, fresher produce. The use of fertilizer can force out maximum crop yields per acre, but farming the same land, with the same crop year after year has left many of our soils nutrient poor and hence the need for supplementation. Furthermore, the use of fertilizer year after year can degrade the quality of the soil, and has now reached a plateau in the U.S. where a given acre of crop no longer will give up extra yield for more fertilizer applied.
How does this relate to your health? Let me make a broad statement; we Americans are a nutritionally deficient lot. In 1980, the FDA commissioned a small study with some 200+ people in the study group. The purpose of the study was to determine what percentage of Americans received the minimum nutrition, or the RDA (Recommended Daily Allowance) a standard established by the government just after World War II to address malnutrition in school age children. To the surprise of the FDA, not one person in their study received the minimum daily nutrition. Nobody, Nada. The reason? We all lack perfect digestion, our food is poor in nutrients and nobody has 100% perfect absorption. The importance of all this is that for the average American, there is a strong need for supplementing our diet with vitamins, minerals, and additional supplements to compensate for our ultimate nutritional needs.
Food grown in your own garden likely has higher nutritional value than that purchased at your grocery store. If you add your own compost to your vegetable patch so much the better. Try to focus on buying food of higher nutritional content. Sometimes organic food may be a better choice but a person needs to be discerning. Some organic produce is not worth the extra money. Many vegetables and fruit have few natural predators and require no weedkillers or pesticides to produce a healthy crop.
Gravitating towards a whole foods diet, focusing on fresh fruits, vegetables and mineral rich foods will translate into better health. Eating healthy, and including more vegetables does not have to mean boring mealtimes. There are more online resources offering free recipes, more cook books in publication than at any time in history. Many people become stayed in their weekly menu, not really venturing beyond the food they grew up with, or the meals typically prepared at home. Try preparing a totally unique dish once a week to expand your menu options. Eating a diverse variety of foods is probably a person's best hedge on malnutrition or a deficiency. Pick your foods well, and spend more time shopping in the produce section of your grocery store. Try to focus on the Green stuff as well, spinach, kale, cabbage, and you are sure to help your suffering with Gout, Hemorrhoids or other health problems.

Alkalize for Gout and Hemorrhoid Symptoms
The Need to Alkalize for Gout Symptoms and Hemorrhoids
I talk to many people weekly, daily regarding health issues. Many of the fine folks I talk with tell me they eat healthy. Probably the truth be known, some do in fact eat well, and many probably do not. What we Americans consider to be a healthy diet, may be considered by others as less than healthy. I have published articles previously on the need to Alkalize our bodies and more specifically our colon.
As food is digested, the net result of the by-products given off have a PH that is either acid or alkaline. Water has a neutral PH of 7.0. Some foods may be extremely acid with a PH approaching 1. Alkaline foods have a PH value of between 7 and 14. Nothing we ingest would have a PH as high as 1 or at the other end of the scale of a PH value of 14. Things which are that acid or alkaline would be extremely caustic such as Lye or Sodium Hydroxide, with a PH approaching 14, or extremely acid such as Hydrochloric Acid with a PH approaching 1 depending on the strength. Many foods may be almost neutral at around 7.0 PH, or fall into the category of being only slightly alkaline or slightly acid.
In the Health food industry, the need to Alkalize or bodies and diet has become a subject much in vogue. Yet the concept is not a novel one. Chinese traditional medicine is based on thousands of years of wisdom and holds that all foods can be classified as either yin or yang, corresponding to acid producing or alkaline. Which is better you may be asking? The average American diet is extremely acid producing. An acid colon environment will encourage the growth of bad bacteria, impede elimination of toxins and waste, and interfere with the bodies ability to absorb vital nutrients. Also, an acid environment in the colon will promote the accumulation of pockets of fecal matter and lead to serious health issues.
Focusing on trying to include more alkalizing foods in one's diet will promote better colon health, better elimination, and less health issues. Consider this, one can of Coca-Cola has an acid PH of around 2.5. It takes somewhere around 25 glasses of water to neutralize that acid to a PH close to 7.0. Viewed in that light, perhaps it is no wonder that so many Americans suffer from so many health issues related to an acid colon environment. Current wisdom has it that a good thing to aim for is a diet of 60% alkaline foods, and 40% acid foods. If a person is looking to overcome serious or multiple issues, shooting for a diet of 80% alkaline foods would be recommended.
Previous articles I have published outline a partial list of Acid and Alkaline foods. Even trying to include just a few more of the known alkaline producing foods has to have merit for promoting health, especially for our customers suffering with Gout pain or symptoms, Hemorrhoids, or Colon health problems such as constipation, I.B.S., diarrhea, or digestive problems.

Gout Treatement for Pain
Rout the Gout
I have complete empathy for anyone who suffers with Gout and the pain and suffering that goes with it. Many customers have tried to share with me how bad the suffering is and I often hear, "I would not wish this on my worst enemy." I shared with a recent customer how I have been told that smashing your foot repeatedly with a sledge hammer may come close to describing the constant pain some people endure with Gout. A recent customer corrected me by sharing his description. He rides Motocross motorcycles, and had a severe accident while riding in the dessert. He had multiple injuries to the ball of his foot, and spent a good deal of time in hospital and then recovery. At the same time he had the motorcycle accident, he also ended up suffering concurrently with an episode of Gout. He told me that the pain of Gout suffering dwarfed all the pain of his foot injuries from the accident. It is safe to say that Gout can affect more nerve endings than other types of trauma or injury.
There are prescription medications taken orally for Gout. They all have side effects, many serious, and almost without exception they take a heavy toll on liver, and sometimes kidney health as well. One of the most widely prescribed drugs for Gout is Allopurinol. I am told that one out of three patients can not tolerate the drug, and for many it can make the symptoms of Gout worse. More than one customer of ours has shared with me that they started with Gout in their big toe, went on Allopurinol, and now have Gout in every joint in their body. Also, another complaint that repeats itself is where a customer shares with me they have been taking a prescription that used to work, but has become less and less effective at treating the pain for Gout over time. Figure that if you are taking something that only treats the symptoms, but further degrades the health of the liver or kidneys, you may be better served by seeking a natural approach to the disease of Gout.
There is really good news here. There are some traditional herbs known to be very helpful for Gout. Taken individually, they may not bring much relief for Gout pain and swelling of the joints and surrounding epidermis. There also exist some cutting edge supplements that have shown merit for some of the symptoms and suffering of Gout. There is a product that has brought many of the best herbs and supplements together in one product for Gout. You really owe it to yourself to check it out. Gout-Relief is one of the safest, and most effective natural supplements using a broad spectrum approach to treat the condition. Gout-Relief is available through the website www.westernherbal.com or call toll free 800-223-3036.

The Art of Formulating Nutritional Supplements
A Product Formulator's Perspective on Nutritional Supplements
The Nutritional supplement marketplace can be a confusing place to visit. A visit to the vitamin section of your pharmacy or health food store may leave you befuddled as to what to buy, and which supplement is best. I work in the industry and often face similar confusion. Every manufacturer makes their claims, and it is sometimes hard to sort fact from fiction. Perhaps that is where brand loyalty comes in, going with a company that has shown to have effective products, and I can name many that I have respect for.
Every year, new products appear on the market, many with promising claims, sometimes backed by science or studies. At the same time, there is an atrophy of existing herbs that seem to drop off in popularity. That is a topic I have touched on before, and a fact that I sometimes lament. More to this; could there have been a time in history where an herbal remedy was used to treat certain cancers? I know in my heart the answer to be yes. I guess that it bothers me that wisdom is sometimes lost, and only should ever be compounded on. An example, (I have many,) would be Devils Claw. Twenty years ago, most every health food store stocked that single herbal supplement. One of my top five supplements for Arthritic pain and joint swelling. Today it is hard to find. There are no negatives to its' use, it is very effective for Arthritis, Gout, Kidney issues, and helps with arterial plaque. Somehow, people just started forgetting about it.
Perhaps the responsibility should be shared with supplement manufacturers, who tend to look at the competition, and say, "We should be doing something similar." Perhaps in doing so they are doing themselves and their customers a disservice, and missing the wisdom of tried and true herbs that sometimes have centuries of use. I use this to my advantage when putting together herbal supplements. I like to use what is cutting edge, and backed by science. But also, I like to look to herbs that have a strong history of use. The wisdom of our ancestors should not be diminished, since they were quite dependent on natural remedies and did not always have access to a medical professional.
Furthermore, I believe that the responsibility of any manufacturer is to produce the most progressive product possible. If a complex formula is expensive to produce, the idea is not to take out ingredients to make it more cost effective, but produce it anyway. And, if it is expensive to produce, pass the cost on to the end consumer, but do not miss out on the opportunity to make the very best product possible for your customers. Such a basic business practice, and one that I believe has served us well, but how many companies miss that by a mile only ever focusing on the bottom line.
Such is the business premise behind this company. Cutting edge products at a reasonable price, backed superior customer service.

A Vegetarian Perspective
How I Became a Vegetarian
I have been a vegetarian now for some 22 years. A personal choice for me and one that has served me well. I am not out to convert the world to a vegetarian lifestyle, in fact I believe that many people thrive on a meat (carnivore) diet. In fact, I encourage my kids to eat meat, and having worked in the restaurant business for some 10 years, one of my favorite pastimes is cooking steaks, kabobs, burgers and chicken for family and friends on the barbecue. Yin-yang theory holds the view that some people thrive on meat eating according to their ancestral traditions. I do eat dairy products including eggs. Vegetarians who do not include dairy must have much more focus on balancing their diet, and I think can tend towards deficiencies if not very careful.
In my early twenties, I developed a severe case of gastritis. Not knowing how to treat it as I do now, I went to the hospital emergency room more that once, swallowed the Barium and stood in front of an x-ray machine, only to be told I suffered with severe gastritis, not an ulcer and not to worry to much. A lot of help that was. Back then, I did not make the connection between severe gastritis, Hemorrhoid episodes and the link to Candida. In desperation I went to a natural practitioner. He was pretty helpful, but also gave me a couple of books for suggested reading. One of the most influential books I have ever read was 'The Essene Gospel of Peace' which chronicles a period in the life of Jesus Christ not found in the Bible Scriptures. In this book, Jesus appears to a whole group of sick and dying on the bank of a river. He starts by saying, "Listen to me and I will tell you all how to cure your ills." He goes on to tell everyone in a sermon-on-the-mount style of speaking that all should fast seven days and nights to cure all their ills. Several prayers are here as well as dietary recommendations that are being borne out today as sound practices for health. Doing a search for the title on line will probably lead you to the Biogenic Society that publishes and sells the book and others at non-profit prices. I bought my last copy for $1. I have had many over the years but they have a tendency to wander off. I highly recommend the reading for anyone wanting to get a grip on their health issues.
So after reading this amazing book, I took a week off from work, jumped on my motorcycle and rode a few hundred miles into the Colorado Mountains. I found a wilderness area where I camped, fasted and prayed for a week. I had to do something to address my terrible suffering with stomach issues. I emerged one week later as a vegetarian, and confident that I had the ability to solve my own health issues. These days, I go out of my way to avoid much discussion on the virtues of being a vegetarian, except that I love it and rarely miss meat. More often that not someone wants to raise the issue at the Thanksgiving dinner table and my short pat answer is that it is a personal preference for me, and I run better on 'unleaded.' My gastric issues did improve with a vegetarian diet, and yearly health check-ups come back normal for blood pressure and everything else. Not bad for just having turned 50. Please check out The International Biogenic Society if you are so inclined. I support everything they stand for and support.

Health Tips for Gout or Hemorrhoids in a Tough Economy
Health Tips in a Down Economy
I am an optimist. While I fully acknowledge some hard times are upon us, I am optimistic that the economy will rebound, and perhaps quicker than anyone thought. That is my hope, and my prayers will help make it so God willing. We Americans are a resilient lot, resourceful, and innovative. That said, we could be facing food shortages this coming summer. Not so much due to the economy, but the 3 year drought that California is dealing with has already led to many farmers not planting their usual early crops. At the time of this article, California snow pack in the Sierra Mountains is at 61% of normal levels, and we are already in a drought with many state reservoirs at one-third of normal levels. By estimates California supplies 80% of U.S. produce. Given the impending water rationing state officials say will be coming later this year, it may be prudent to take a look at the practical aspect of either expanding or starting a vegetable garden. I am certain we will see at least some food items simply unavailable, or at a minimum being offered at higher, even exorbitant prices. One more thing that I really do not have an answer for. I saw a news piece the other night on dairy farming. Since the price of milk has fallen, at least what a farmer is paid for per gallon, a lot of dairy farms are struggling, selling off cows at a loss, or simply going out of business. That may bring milk shortages that take a year or two to normalize. Soy milk may be a good alternative for many.
What to plant? I published an earlier article discussing the virtue of alkalizing foods. This blog is focused on helping our current or future customers to better health, especially those who suffer with colon issues, Gout or Hemorrhoids. So the foods I recommend are from the alkaline side of the food spectrum and will promote optimum colon health while helping with any of the conditions I have mentioned here. A short list of alkaline fruits and vegetables that may supplement possible shortages at your grocery store include:
Apples, beets, broccoli, garlic, celery, endive, melons, spinach, strawberries, Brussels sprouts, watermelon, fresh green beans, parsley, mustard greens, radishes, watercress. turnips, millet, and mint. As a lover of herbs and their medicinal uses, I would recommend basil, fennel, oregano, thyme, and most anything else that can be used for cooking, or for their medicinal properties.
Lest I forget, I really believe that for Hemorrhoids pain and Gout symptoms can be helped by eating cabbage daily, in any of its' forms, cooked, pickled, or eaten fresh. Feel free to check out our products at www.westernherbal.com
I am an optimist. While I fully acknowledge some hard times are upon us, I am optimistic that the economy will rebound, and perhaps quicker than anyone thought. That is my hope, and my prayers will help make it so God willing. We Americans are a resilient lot, resourceful, and innovative. That said, we could be facing food shortages this coming summer. Not so much due to the economy, but the 3 year drought that California is dealing with has already led to many farmers not planting their usual early crops. At the time of this article, California snow pack in the Sierra Mountains is at 61% of normal levels, and we are already in a drought with many state reservoirs at one-third of normal levels. By estimates California supplies 80% of U.S. produce. Given the impending water rationing state officials say will be coming later this year, it may be prudent to take a look at the practical aspect of either expanding or starting a vegetable garden. I am certain we will see at least some food items simply unavailable, or at a minimum being offered at higher, even exorbitant prices. One more thing that I really do not have an answer for.

Can Hemorrhoids Be Deadly?
Deadly Hemorrhoids?
If you have ever suffered with Hemorrhoids, then perhaps you may have wondered how serious the pain and suffering can become. In my late twenties, the thought came to me often. I had the very worst form, internal, external, thrombosed, with extreme pain and bleeding. Sometimes I would wonder if a person could die of Hemorrhoids. Not trying to be too graphic here but there really were times that the toilet water had turned bright crimson from loss of blood after a particularly painful bowel movement. I found myself wondering if a person could die of Hemorrhoids. By now, I know the answer to be yes. In over 5 years of working with customers and our Hem-Relief product for Hemorrhoid symptoms, I have had 2 customers now share with me that they almost died from Hemorrhoids. In both cases they were women who told me that the extreme loss of blood from Hemorrhoids dictated the need for blood transfusions in the emergency room. I know that to be an extremely small percentage of Hemorrhoid sufferers, and I for one am glad I did not have to go through that kind of a procedure, though I think I was at times on the brink.
Many Hemorrhoid sufferers probably start with a trip to their practitioner for a diagnosis. I did so initially, but I was also frustrated by his seeming lack of empathy. I do not think most doctors appreciate how extremely painful and debilitating the problem is. Furthermore, bleeding in that area can not help immune function, and always left me with a feeling of nausea and malaise. So glad those days are over for me. I also believe that the use of suppositories and topical creams promoted my pain and suffering with Hemorrhoids. Topically, I have found not much really works outside of Witchazel extract applied to the area. Internally though, I have found Hem-Relief to be the most effective thing for chasing away the bleeding, pain and swelling to being symptom free in 48 hours.
If you are looking for a natural remedy for Hemorrhoids and want to see all of it gone in just a couple of days, look no further. Visit www.westernherbal.com

Levels of Hemorrhoid Suffering
Levels of Hemorrhoid Suffering
There are different levels of Hemorrhoid suffering. Hem-Relief is a natural herbal supplement designed to bring complete relief to any type of Hemorrhoids pain or discomfort. Customers ask me all the time how long they may need to take the Hem-Relief as a preventative. The answer to the question really depends on a persons' level of suffering. Experience has shown me that some people have only ever suffered with the mildest of symptoms, never seeming to move beyond mild discomfort. And that can apply to both internal and external Hemorrhoid symptoms. But still for many, the pain and discomfort can be unbearable.
The first category would be the once in a lifetime Hemorrhoid sufferers. By estimates some 80% of Americans will suffer with Hemorrhoids at least once in their lifetime. Probably several thousand of our customers could probably shout that they had Hemorrhoids one time, ordered Hem-Relief, and 'cured' themselves. I must acknowledge that some of those success stories may be the once in a lifetime type of sufferers.
The second category of suffering is probably where most people fall into. For many, Hemorrhoids tend to recur several times a year. That certainly is my story. Many in this category have found that Hemorrhoids surgery is not the answer. I have talked to many that have had surgical techniques performed multiple times. In one case, our customer care department talked to a gentleman who had surgery for Hemorrhoids on 10 occasions! Ouch!
While I have complete empathy for each and every customer who comes to us, I feel particularly bad for those who have endured 20 or 30 years of continual suffering. This group is certainly in the minority of average Hemorrhoid cases. But, by now I have talked to many who have endured decades of suffering where nothing has helped.... until Hem-Relief. One of my recent testimonials came from a man I have spoken to at length, and suffered daily for 31 years and tried everything with no results until he ordered Hem-Relief. For anyone reading this and on the brink of needing Hemorrhoid surgery, help is here in a natural, safe, herbal supplement.
Hem-Relief comes in a safety sealed 90 capsule bottle. It can be purchased online through the website at www.westernherbal.com or by calling customer care toll free at
800-223-3036. Check out our testimonials from satisfied customers who rave about all our products. If you suffer with IBS, Colon issues, Gout, or Hemorrhoids, you need to check us out.

Hemorrhoids Help with Herbal Solutions
Herbs for Hemorrhoid Pain
There are a few herbs that are helpful for Hemorrhoid pain and suffering. Bistwort is one that I like and used to be taken as an emergency food. It has moved into obscurity and not usually found on Health Food store shelves but has a tradition of use. I am always amazed how certain herbs or foods simply fade from popularity. The best success for taking herbs for Hemorrhoid symptoms is likely to come in a combination. My own experience with Hemorrhoid issues and experimentation with different remedies brought me to the formula currently available in the Hem-Relief 90 capsule supplement. I believe that the formula is exactly right in this supplement and as a Hemorrhoid sufferer myself, I have tried most everything out there in one form or another. I really believe there is nothing more effective on the planet or anything else that brings quicker results.
Withazel, Horse Chestnut leaf, and Ginger are the magic ingredients in the Hem-Relief that make it such a successful product. I tell everyone who wants to know that it has never failed to bring me complete relief in 48 hours or less. Without it, I should have had Hemorrhoids surgery at least 3 or 4 times by now. Customers tell me all the time, thank God I found your website. Figure that if you are suffering badly, have tried this and that with just marginal results; there is a product called Hem-Relief that really does work. Doctors, Chiropractors and clinics order the product wholesale and often prescribe it for their patients.

More Probiotic Info on Gout and Hemorrhoids
More on Probiotics
If you suffer with Hemorrhoids, Gout symptoms or pain, or poor colon health, you should consider the need for probiotic supplementation. Probiotics refers to the type of good bacteria found in yogurt. Studies have shown people who consume yogurt on a daily basis live on average two years longer than those who do not. Yogurt is part of many peoples' diet around the world. Also, different bacterial strains are used as the 'starter' which is the bacterial seed added to milk to make the conversion to a creamy yogurt. Some doctors say that yogurt is of little benefit since most bacteria can not make it past the stomach acid and into the intestinal tract. Well if that was absolutely the case, it contradicts studies showing yogurt does impart health benefits.
The average human gut has some 8 pounds of bacteria. That translates into huge numbers; not a few million, or billion, but trillions. Imagine a balance scale in front of you with good bacteria on one side and bad bacteria on the other. A health colon would be where the numbers or weight of good bacteria outweighs the bad. The problem is that for most Americans, the bad bacteria outweigh the good. A predominance of bad bacteria allow for accumulations of fecal matter in the colon, and bad bacteria emit toxic by products that impair health.
Redressing the imbalance of intestinal flora requires focus on multiple fronts, starting with diet. A low sugar, low carb diet is essential for promoting colon health. Fiber and probiotic supplementation can address the imbalance of bad bacteria versus good. Other supplements exist that promote the growth or 'feed' good bacteria such as FOS, and the herb Chicory. I believe probiotics are absolutely critical for optimum health. Many types of illnesses have their roots in poor colon function. Colon issues like IBS, Gout, Hemorrhoids, and many others relate to an imbalance of bacteria.

Probiotics for Hemorrhoid Relief and Gout Symptoms
Probiotics means 'good' bacteria. The term refers to the beneficial flora or bacteria that propigate the human intestinal tract and are responsible for optimum health. There is no question and little debate that probiotics have a distinct bearing on colon health and consequent suffering from disease or illness. Currently the Probiotic industry generates about $5 billion dollars yearly and is set to explode to @ $20 billion dollars annually in the next five years or so. Each manufacturer of Probiotics makes unique claims are to the effectiveness of their product, sometimes backed by science, sometimes not.
Here is my take on the subject. Probiotics are necessary and an integral part of the picture of good health. The problem is that in my view, nobody has a complete handle on the subject. I talk to doctors, biochemists, formulators and manufacturers and have yet to meet anyone who has all the answers. There exists a lot of conjecture and guesswork in the marketplace and in the Nutrition industry. Here is why. I do not think anyone has the perfect snapshot or picture of what a perfect colon should be. If the spectrum of necessary bacteria could be quantified such as 20% of bifidus bacteria, 35% of acidopholus, etc., then we would have a better way of measuring success with supplementation of acidopholus or probiotic foods or supplements. Of course fecal analysis can provide an indication of bacteria present in the colon, and certainly can provide evidence of bad bacteria or pathogens present. But still a standard is lacking for being able to proclaim this is a perfect colon or stool sample.
Here is the good news; a lot of research and science is being applied to the subject. One need to look no further than their local grocery store to see the proliferation of new products. Activa yogurt is a new product that I often recommend to our Hemorrhoid sufferers especially if they suffer with constipative issues or hard stools. Activa has their own patented strain of bacteria as the yogurt culture present, backed by the claim on the label that the product promotes intestinal regularity. I do think that particular yogurt has merits, and my 9 year old daughter used it for a couple of weeks to overcome constipation. I think in the years to come, more effective products will be available. Probiotic cereals, nutrition bars, and other probiotic foods are surfacing on multiple fronts. I think the litmus test for an effective probiotic product should be this; is it working?? Do you feel benefit?
If you suffer with Hemorrhoids also known as piles, Gout Pain or Gout symptoms, consider the need for establishing a good bacterial balance for optimum health. One thing not mentioned here is the need for establishing an environment that actually promotes good bacterial balance. That subject can often be overlooked by those taking a probiotic supplement. We have an awesome product at Western Herbal called Complete Colon Care that was formulated to restore, rejuvenate, and revitalize colon health. It has some 18 herbal ingredients in addition to a fiber blend to help cleanse and promote an environment where intestinal flora can flourish. Our customers swear by it as I do myself.

Healthy Eating for Gout or Hemorrhoid Suffering
Needing Help with Hemorrhoids or Gout Suffering?
If you are suffering with one of these two health issues, figure there is relief out there to ease your Gout pain or Hemorrhoid symptoms. But, for any health issue I like to start with this question. Are you eating healthy? I talk to many customers daily who assure me their diet is pretty good. What is the standard for healthy eating? I think one needs to look far beyond the average American diet. I would like to share with you an idea that got me into the health and nutrition field many years ago. There is an organization called the Biogenic Society and the link to their website is http://www.communityofpeace.net/Britxt/Binternat.htm It is a faith-based affiliation that believes in eating as much 'live' food as possible. Live food would be food not cooked, frozen, our altered from its' fresh picked or harvested state. There is virtue in that reasoning. Vital enzymes needed for optimum health are destroyed through cooking, freezing or processing. A key part of the aging process may be in the bodys' inablility to easily manufacture enzymes as we grow older. Supplementation of enzymes can be achieved by eating raw fresh product.
The Biogenic Society believes in growing your own produce as much as possible. The orgainzation also sells non-profit religious books which may be of great interest to many people. I absolutely concur with the idea of consuming raw food as much as possible for optimum health. If you need more help with Gout symptoms or Hemorrhoid pain, try visiting www.westernherbal.com or www.medgrades.com toll free number 800-223-3036.

Essential Mineral Balance for Health
The Essentials of Essentials
I used to work as a nutritional consultant for a large health chain. I have said before that often I learn as much from customers as perhaps they learn from me. I remember serving a customer who shared with me his ignorance of nutrition but went on to say he was a structural engineer. He told me that the future of supplements and the key to health had to rest more with mineral supplements than vitamins. Furthermore, he imparted to me that the strength of a steel bridge comes through the minerals added to iron. He embellished on that notion some more but his point has never been lost on me.
If you suffer from a health affliction such as Hemorrhoids, Gout, or issues of the colon, figure that you may be deficient in some minerals. Actually, probably most everyone is deficient in something or another. And... the human body is a complex picture of chemical reactions taking place every second of our lives. I think everyone should strive for balance in their mineral uptake. Easier said than done. For most every supplement taken such as Calcium, an imbalance can be created elsewhere. Calcium supplementation takes Vitamin C out of the body and vice versa. A hair or finger nail lab analysis can give a breakdown of mineral content in the body and suggest deficiencies or toxic levels of elements such as Mercury or Cadnium. One tip I have for addressing that balance is the addition of a Kelp supplement in tablet or capsule form. Kelp is a sea vegetable and a broad spectrum of trace minerals present that are known to help balance the essential minerals needed for optimum health. I will expand on this topic in future blogs.

Hemorrhoid Relief Testimonial
Another Satisfied Customer Who Suffered With Hemorrhoids
I spoke with a customer this morning who was quite emotional from the onset. She told me she was holding back tears but wanted to thank me and reminded me that we spoke last week when she placed an order for our Hem-Relief. Her order was shipped out that day and expedited as Next Day Air with UPS. She went on to share with me that she received it the following morning around 10:00 a.m. Her Hemorrhoids pain was greater than that of pain she had following two back surgeries. She said that she believed God led her to our website and to call me on that day. Marg is now just one of our many satisfied customers who have submitted testimonials to us attributing to the success of Hem-Relief as a natural herbal remedy for Hemorrhoid symptoms.
