Here are the ones known as DOSE

Dopamine
Oxytocin
Serotonin
Endorphins

Ever heard that saying 'That's so DOPE man' ....you can tell I have teenagers around the house.

We had a house full of loud teenage boys this weekend, and I could not help myself when I heard one say 'that is do dope bruv' I later asked them....

'Do you know where the word DOPE comes from?'

They looked surprised, not sure what they expected.

I said 'it comes from the word DOPAMINE'.

And Dopamine is what you guys at this age are craving. One did ask if that linked to Parkinson's ..yes it is.

So after explaining to them that their body actually produces 'chemicals' that are more powerful than any street drug...you can guess their response....

That's DOPE-AMINE.

So if you hear that line used by teenagers all around the world, remember it started here in my home ;)

Joking aside, did you know that your body produces so many powerful chemicals within that it seems crazy that we chase these from the outside.

Do you use homeopathy? Have you ever seen it work? Well it uses what your body already has. You are not adding anything extra.

Think of medications like Specific Serotonin Re-uptake Inhibitors (remember Prozac, that was an SSRI), they are not raising your overall serotonin levels in the body, these meds are just blocking the serotonin from being re-uptaken from out of the synapse. No street drug is as miraculous as our own pharmacy within.

The same goes for Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors (MAOI) which are a class of drugs used for 'depression' but again these drugs only block an enzyme in the body called Monoamine Oxidase. This enzyme breaks down Serotonin, Noradrenaline and Dopamine BUT AGAIN it does not raise the overall levels of these monoamines.

So next time you think about raising your dopamine, ask how can you raise your natural DOSE levels.

Did you know inflammation reduces levels of DOSE? What causes inflammation? ....

Sugar causes inflammation
High HBA1c causes inflammation
High Insulin levels cause inflammation
Toxic metals like mercury increase inflammation
Junk food increases inflammation

Do you know what else causes low DOSE
Lack of movement
Lack of hugs
Lack of bonding
Lack of connection
Loneliness
Lack of community
Lack of purpose
Lack of fulfilment
Resentment
Jealousy
Greed
Self loathing
Comparison-itis
Lack of new challenges

So before thinking about going for the pharmaceutical drugs (and some can be life saving) ask, what is missing in my life?

Connection
Community
Hugs
Love
Laughter
Peace
Hope
Joy
Exercise
Movement
Laughter
Healthy food
Healthy gut
Having purpose
Being in nature
Having a meal with loved ones

PS. I don't know where the word DOPE originates from...but I can guess. But I like this version better 😍

Walk away from people who put you down. Walk from fights that will never be resolved. Walk away from trying to please people that will never see your worth. The more you walk away from things that poison you, the healthier you will be

Health doesn't always come from medicine.
Most of the time it comes from peace of mind, peace of heart, peace of soul. It comes from love and laughter!

HELICOBACTER PYLORI INFECTIONS

The human stomach is relatively sterile, however Helicobacter pylori is a bacteria that commonly infects the stomach. If this bacteria is left to have excess overgrowth in the gut, H.pylori can induce gastritis, gastric or duodenal ulceration, and possibly even gastric cancer.

The Conventional Medical treatment is usually a combination of multiple antibiotics and acid suppressive medication, termed triple or quadruple therapy. Patients can often experience unpleasant side effects from this treatment. Holistic management may help improve treatment outcomes and/or minimise side effects.

H.pylori utilises an enzyme called Urease to convert urea in the stomach to ammonia. Ammonia raises the PH in the area immediately surrounding the bacteria. This allows the bacteria to survive in the highly acidic stomach and aids in adherence to the gastric mucosa (wall).

Some of the latest research has found that Clinoptilolite(A), a Zeolite Volcanic mineral to be of great benefit. Its ability to bind ammonia to stop the high PH surrounding the bacteria would assist with preventing the H.pylori bacteria from thriving. This could make Clinoptilolite(A) a useful adjunct treatment as it also binds heavy metals, toxins and nitrates.

Numerous studies have found that certain probiotics can improve the efficacy of the Conventional Medical treatment and relieve most treatment related adverse effects.

Pure Honey has been shown to have anti-bacterial activity. It can significantly inhibit growth of H.pylori. Pure Manuka and Jarrah honey have very high Total Activity Rating.

If you have any gastric symptoms please consult your Health Care Provider

The Appendix

For many years the Appendix was misunderstood by medical personnel and the general public, who believed it served no purpose.

The Appendix has been found to be an important immune organ. It is a form of gut associated lymphoid tissue (GALT) that contains an abundance of B and T cells, natural killer cells, macrophages and immunoglobulin 'A' and immunoglobulin 'G' producing plasma cells. It is involved in the production of antibodies.

It is a reservoir or 'safehouse' for commensal bacteria providing a source for rapid re-inoculation of the bowel following an environmental assault to the GUT bacteria by poor diet, stress, antibiotics etc.

If you have had your appendix removed (appendectomy) then it would be good to take a probiotic to help resist intestinal dysbiosis.
