Alternative Medicine

A friend of mine is quite sure that there's something to be said for algae extract and the things he mentions makes alot of sense to me. This is something I want to do some research on and I'm with him, in that, the government doesn't want to recognize alternative medicines as being safe and something which works.

Some things I've been trying lately is that I put 1/4 tsp. of cinnamon into my coffee each morning because I read somewhere that cinnamon helps to increase your metabolism. We'll see if it makes any difference. I might just be experiencing coffee jitters lol. Also, I've been putting in 1/4 tblspn of good ole fashioned cocoa into my coffee grounds too. The coffee still tastes good and apparently the antioxidants in the cocoa are beneficial to you. Now, the 8 glasses of water I've been drinking, sometimes it tastes like the nasty gas smell which my water has and sometimes not. I'm thinking that I should not have put my britta in the dishwasher the other day (shrunk it maybe??). I'll taste test the water again today to see if it still has that funky taste or if my water is being filtered properly by my britta. Love my britta.

According to my friend, he claims that this Algae Extract is supposed to be a cure for many viruses (aka: herpes, common cold), certain cancers, supposedly is good for MS patients and those who suffer from sinusitis. I'll try to come back and update this.

I definitely believe in the cholesterol fighting properties of oatmeal though. And now I'm thinking about apple cider vinegar and to mix it with my water. Just have to watch what it does to my teeth and I read something yesterday about something in vinegar called "mother". I wonder if that's something like mold which is what they supposedly make pencillin out of? Who knows, you hear so many old wives tales, some of which are true and heck, I'd love to believe that there are some natural things out here which do aid in curing folks of certain illnesses. Why not is what I say. I always think about "what did they used to do in the old days?" That's what I ask myself. Of course, folks always come back to me and say, ah but their life span was alot shorter too way back then. Oh well, there will always be critics.
