Miracle Foods
Mother Nature provides us with four specific "Miracle Foods" that have the ability to heal our bodies and help us maintain optimum health. The problem is, few people know about or appreciate the value of these foods, and avoid including them in their diet in the way nature intended. They were well known in folklore and by doctors from long ago, but not today. All you have to do is formulate the ingredients in the correct way in your kitchen once a day. Go on this link and read about the 5 natural foods that can lower cholesterol http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/cholesterol/CL00002
90/ 10
I include this information in "medicine at home" because I feel it is important to understand that you choose what you want in life.
90/10 Is a theory by Stephen Covey, he says that 10 % of life is related with what occurs to you and that 90% is determine by the way you react to what happen to you. What does this mean in his eyes it means that 10 % of life you can not control but other 90% you can by your reaction afterwards. For example lets say that your sitting around eating breakfast with your family and all of a sudden your daughter spills coffee all over your new shirt - your reaction is this- you get up all frustrated, and angry that you begin to yell at your daughter which causes her to cry, you yell at your wife and say to her that it was her fault for putting the glass to close to the border, as you run upstairs to change you realize that you are late for work as you come down your realize your daughter is still crying at the thought of spilling your drink that she even misses her bus which causes you to drive her to school by the time you get to work your late and stress, when you get home your wife begins to lecture you about how you treated your daughter.
So after all of this, who is to blame for your hell day?
a. The Coffee
b. Your daughter
c. Your Wife
d. Yourself
The point that Mr. Covey was trying to convey was that life is a boomerang everything we say do or think will come back to us. 90/ 10 think before you react!

What's Your Best Time of Day?
I read this article in my medical skills class that I thought was truly interesting by Susan Perry and Jim Dawson here is helpful info that can help you for the rest of your life.
All living organisms, from mollusks to men and women, exhibit biological rhythms. The idea that our bodies are in constant flux, is fairly new, which goes against traditional medical training, but now there is a new science called chronobiology, which scientific and medical communities are beginning to rethink their ideas about how the human body works and by helping us organize ourselves so we can work with our natural rhythms, which can enhance our outlook on life as well as our performance at work and play.
The most obvious daily rhythm is the sleep/ wake cycle but there is also temperature, blood pressure, and hormone levels which can determine how you feel, how well you work, your level of alertness, your sensitivity to taste and smell , the degree to which you enjoy food or take pleasure in music all are changing through the day.
Here are some cool facts:
– Short term memory is best during the morning; it really does pay to review your notes right before the test is given.
- Long term memory is best during the afternoon where you can recall day’s weeks or months later.
* Students it would be wise if you were to schedule and study for your classes in the afternoon.*
- We tend to do best on cognitive tasks in the morning
- Your manual dexterity the speed and coordination with which you perform complicated tasks with your hands peaks during the afternoon hours.
- All your senses may be at their keenest during late afternoon and early evening
- Even your perception of time changes from hour to hour. Not only does time seem to fly when you’re having fun, but it also seems to fly even faster if you are having fun in the late afternoon or early evening.
Learn how to listen to the inner beats of your body; let them set the pace of your day. You will live a healthier and happier life.

Hippocrates
Hippocrates
Hippocrates is perhaps history's most famous physician. By rejecting superstition in favor of scientific observation, by classifying diseases, and by creating a set of moral and professional standards for physicians, he earned the title of 'Father of Medicine.'
What does this quote say to you?
“Natural forces within us are the true healers of disease.”

What does this quote say to you?
“Natural forces within us are the true healers of disease.”
Why?
Why?
Medicine at home is an idea that occurred to me while watching the history channel; I realize that in ancient times when medicine was not as advance there was all types of cures for illnesses that still occur today; as a result I began to wonder why we had stop using natural ingredients to cure certain sicknesses. My focus is on ingredients that can be found at home to cure or alleviate any medical problem you might have.
I guess you can say my blog is a mix of history and medicine, I bring out the past, present and future of medicine in a way that can help you fight though your pain.
