an energetic you! You can even go the extra mile and use acupuncture to uplift the facial muscles
to improve your youthful appearance. This article talks about botox, which, is done all the time, but
the side effects can be severe:  http://www.citizen.org/publications/release.cfm?ID=7559

As we indicated in the blog earlier this week, the topic of vaccinations is a hot and emotional topic and we are not representing any extreme positions. However, we would like to offer suggestions for thought so that parents can make the best decisions for their children. When we first became parents the first book we read on this issue said something that always stood out in our minds. It said to think about what your child would endure if he or she was to get the disease for which you were thinking of vaccinating against vs what would happen if the worst side effects associated with the vaccine would occur in your child. That always made sense. Since then the struggle to understand more about the health issues that seem to be rising in our young continues. There is so much more chronic disease and specific disease patterns that are perhaps owing to the current "health" practices going on in pediatrics today. Using alternative medicine as one part of your child's health program can make a 100% difference in your child's immune system function, neurological function, and emotional well-being. Please read this very interesting article:

OK, big issue! Today a patient came in who has eczema all over her hands and whos 
child is getting sick continuously. So I asked what is going on? Is there mold in your house?
As we sat and discussed the details of her case she took this bottle out of her bag and
showed it to me. It was the natural equivalent of the standard antimicrobial hand lotions
and wipes that are available today. I was stunned bc I realized that this was a breakdown
in communication from my part. Now I realized why she and her son had not been doing 
well over these past months. She told me she has obsessive hand wiping habit for both
her and her son. I want to be super clear here-natural antibiotics must also be used with
the same kind of care that western antibiotics should be. They all kill. We need to preserve
our natural balance of bacteria on our skin inside and out to have an immune system. 

So, if you are in a place where you are touching lots of suspicious surfaces, just dont
touch your face. When you get home wash your hands with your won gentle soap-one
that is not antibacterial. OR carry a gentle soap in your purse and if you need to go
to the restroom and wash with that. But, stop using strong antimicrobial washes on
your hands so you don't wash away all the good stuff too! 

The heated issue of vaccinations is a topic we will tread lightly upon. However, we would like to remind people about the benefits of using natural medicine when colds and flus come up. Herbs work amazingly well for so many things, including those things caused by the overuse of certain medications like antibiotics, such as MRSA. Take a look!

Moderation has always been a problem for many people. Often people drink too much, smoke too much, eat too much junk food. And, we get sick. But, can we be too healthy? We are posting a story today that brings some interesting perspective on how medicine can go too far! This article shows that the current trend in endeavoring to get people's cholesterol levels down can indeed lower it to the point of causing other kinds of health risks--in fact--the big C! 

Moderation is something that has been taught in many walks of philosophy, chinese medicine being one. In fact, in Chinese medicine one theory says that something that goes to an extreme becomes its polar opposite. So, for example, yin that goes to extreme Yin becomes Yang. Yin and Yang are opposites of each other.

One way to look at this is from the famous expression, 'nature abhores a vacuum." Meaning, that nature will find a way to fill a spot that is empty. In this case, the article is speaking of lowering cholesterol. Interestingly, in these cases where cholesterol was driven down too far, cancer came in. What is cancer? Cells that are growing masses. What are masses? Things that fill space. What space? The space that was created bc the cholesterol levels were driven down so far, emptiness was created. 

We all need to find out way down the middle road. This is really the path toward health. When we take something too much to the right or left we often find ourselves lost and looking for the way to go-realizing how far we have ventured off our course.

These Days parents are rethinking how they take care of their family. Diet and healthcare are a huge part of those considerations. But, also, how we parent, the techniques we use to teach and guide our children are becoming increasingly important to us. It seems that although the trend was also that more and more parents were both working, that now only one is working. And, if both are working, then more time is devoted during non working hours on quality time with the children. This study discusses the positive impact that simply family meals may have on a family. Changing one habit at a time can give one family many returns on improving your child's life as well as your family's life. We at bomamed endeavor to share our positive experiences with family healthcare bringing alternatives to the minds of today's parents. But, in addition to the tangible aspect of healthcare, spending time together also helps the health of the whole family in many ways. We thought our readers may find this article interesting : http://www.naturalnews.com/024990.html

In today's culture there is so much pressure to look beautiful and youthful. There are so many techniques to revive that youthful appearance, but at what cost? This article describes one set of risks involved with one very common beauty treatment. In reading this something bomamed wants you to think about is that how you look on the outside can vastly change depending on the condition of your internal health. For example, marks on your complexion including dark spots, or blemishes, occur in areas on the face that correspond with the internal organ imbalance that you may be experiencing. Often using the external appearance of a person is a great adjunctive form of diagnosis within a Chinese medical parameter. With this in mind, it may be easier to understand that using alternative forms of medicine may CHANGE your external appearance. Often patients at bomamed will actually say that they feel and family members and friends have commented on how much younger and more healthy they look. This is because beauty comes from the inside! Remember when you were young and your Mom used to say this? She was talking about your personality--also on the inside! Your mom knew what she was talking about:)
