The Healing Cancer World Summit: Make the Madness Stop!

- by Dr. Ritamarie Loscalzo

As you know if you’ve been getting my newsletters for a while,  I have lost quite a few loved ones to cancer.

Most recently, my brother-in-law died over the summer after a long and painful hospital stay that resulted from complications of his lung cancer treatment. It was painful, to say the least, to watch him suffer and die after racking up well over a million dollars in hospital bills.

The same thing happened to my sister 3 years ago, and several cousins, friends, and even children of my friends.

I know there are alternatives that have a high rate of success.

I also know that there are lifestyle practices you can put into place right away to prevent yourself from becoming a statistic.

Starting Wednesday, October 25th, 2011, you can hear from the experts about their methods and successes in a controversial and powerful online event called The Healing Cancer World Summit.

Natural and integrative cancer techniques have never quite been explored in the way it will be during the event.

For 5 nights, Kevin Gianni – health author, organizer, and host – will interview 9 of the top natural cancer doctors and researchers around the world and they will share what they’re doing in their clinics to help prevent or even treat cancer.

During the program you’ll learn:

• What therapies these doctors and experts are using that they say can prevent and even treat cancer naturally.
• What herbs and supplements are scientifically known to prevent cancer.
• Scientific and documented proof that natural cancer treatments work.
• How to stack the deck in your favor and do your best to prevent cancer, including how to detoxify and cleanse your body naturally… and safely!
• About a unique treatment that brings the best of natural and conventional medical wisdom together.
• The best natural and integrative options for you and your budget.
• What the cancer industry doesn’t want you to know.
• How natural treatments work from a survivor’s perspective.
• And much more.

These experts are doctors, nutritionists, advocates and survivors who will share their science, research, and stories so you can discover options you may never have heard about.

There are 9 experts in all, with decades of experience amongst them working with cancer patients in their clinics. The experts include Dr. Nicolas Gonzalez, Dr. Francisco Contreras, Dr. Leigh Erin Connealy, Dr. Thomas Lodi, Charlotte Gerson, Mike Adams, Burton Goldberg, and others.

The event starts the evening of Wednesday, October 25th, 2011, so now is the time to sign up.

The event is free!

To register now, all you have to do is visit this page here…

If you’d like to have the recordings and transcripts of the Cancer Summit for your own library there is a special option for you to purchase the downloads and transcripts very reasonably once you sign up.

I signed up for the recordings because I have a few conflicts next week, and would like to listen later. Plus, I like to have transcripts so I can take notes and highlight pertinent points to refer back to later. In addition, there’s a unique benefit to getting the recordings – you get to share them with 3 people for no additional charge. I have a few family members who I will be gifting these to.

This also means that you and 3 friends can jointly purchase the recordings and each of you will have your own private access to the recordings, transcripts and bonuses, plus any extras that may be added later for a very tiny investment.

Here’s where to go now and register…

I was brought to tears by the video on the sign-up page.

I, like Kevin, have lost loved ones to cancer, and I wish I would have had access to this resource to share with them. It brings together all in one place a collection of cancer treatment and prevention alternatives that everyone needs to know.

Wishing you and your loved ones love, health, and joy,

 Dr. Ritamarie

PS. The event registration is open until October 25th as is the special offer for the recordings, transcripts, bonuses, and no cost share with loved ones option.

When you register now, you’ll also get 3 special bonuses delivered to you right away.

5 Ways to Boost Your Sex Drive Naturally

A woman I met on a recent airplane flight told me that her gynecologist mentioned to her that all of her patients over 40 complained of lack of sex drive. The doctor said loss of sex drive was the most common complaint she heard a daily basis and she had no solutions to offer.

Causes of diminished sex drive include anemia, depression, alcohol, certain medications, hormone imbalances, in particular low testosterone, thyroid and estrogen, stress and adrenal exhaustion and relationship problems.

Fortunately, there are natural ways to improve your sex drive.
1. Learn to manage stress.  Cortisol, the hormone produced by your adrenal glands when you’re under stress interferes with libido.  Cortisol has the same precursors as do estrogen and testosterone, and when you’re under stress and in the fight-flight mode, most of the precursors are used to make Cortisol.  Over time, the excess Cortisol production will lead to deficiencies of testosterone and estrogen.  Low testosterone decreases your sex drive.  Low estrogen inhibits your sexual pleasure.

My favorite stress management tool is from the Institute of HeartMath ®.  Using a combination of breath and appreciation, you can transform your stress to positive emotions within minutes.

2.  Eat a diet high in green leafy vegetables. This will correct anemia, improve neurotransmitter function and provide the nutrients needed for your body to rebuild your adrenal glands.   Add sea vegetables to support your thyroid gland, since it’s an important player in overall hormone health.

3. Avoid processed foods, caffeine and alcohol since these stress the system further and contribute to hormone imbalances. Use licorice and ginseng instead of caffeinated beverages to start your day, because they support your adrenal glands.  (Regular use of Licorice may increase your blood pressure, so be careful if you have a tendency towards hypertension).

4- Take time every day for nurturing and supporting yourself, even if it’s only 10 minutes.  By getting enough sleep, exercising, engaging in artistic pursuits, and having fun on a daily basis, you are resetting your body to a calm state that’s conducive to hormone balance and increased sex drive.

5- Discover the wonderful world of herbs. There are herbs that balance hormone levels and below are a list of a few herbs that can help with libido

• Maca Root: Improves both male and female hormone balance, supports the adrenals, increases stamina, helps with erectile dysfunction and increases sex-drive and fertility! Start with a teaspoon a day in a smoothie and increase up to 4 teaspoons a day.
• Cardamom: It is viewed by some cultures as a powerful aphrodisiac and as a treatment for impotence.  It works well with Maca. It tastes great in smoothies, sauces and nut milk.
• Basil: increases circulation, stimulates the sex drive and boosts fertility! Basil oil was once used by Mediterranean prostitutes as a perfume to attract customers!
• Saw Palmetto. This herb can be used to treat both male and female low libido conditions. It works by triggering the body to produce the right hormones to aid in sexual drive.

Pumpkin Seeds are also good for boosting sex drive because they’re high in zinc, which is important in testosterone production. They’re also a good source of omega 3 fats, which aid in balancing hormones.

If you’re one of the millions of women whose relationship has lost its sizzle due to diminished sex drive, now’s the time to take charge of your health.  By reducing stress, eating a balanced diet of whole natural plant based foods, taking time for self care, and including a few herbs, you are on the road to regaining the sizzle!
