emerging all the time, but sometimes even simple things can help. that's our focus today on dw health sharing. clemens alvarez way is by the healing powers of forest dina mind. cut treats pain with chili peppers, while k to gully could beat cancer without chemo. alternative healing methods? no, i'm in good shape. with in kita, gallagher is in good shape. that's not something she takes for granted in march 2015. doctors had given her 3 months to live in her hodgkin's disease. a form of lymphoma had come back in, she was prescribed another course of chemo therapy,

but she decided not to follow the doctor's advice. let me ask my have is roughly about the 1st time i did chemotherapy, i was convinced it would help, but i didn't watch it on friday. i asked myself if my lifestyle had to do with it. the fact that i'd continue to work is that, so i decided to change thing until i felt, but i tried chemotherapy and that it was time to try something else with lucas l as unless ah k to go look a resolve to radically change your life to eat more, healthily work, less sleep more and take better care of herself. she decided she'd only give chemotherapy another shot. if none of it worked just weeks later, the cancer was on the retreat. despite her doctors predictions her health improved . after malaysia. ms. eastman mishnah

food will not on the right. that's me. 5 months after i change my lifestyle, small ones in a way, i do think the pictures only speak for themselves and physician. oh, i am an unexpected improvement in a case such as hers is known as spontaneous. remission when a tumor resolves partially or even completely without additional treatment, it happens only rarely in approximately one in $60000.00 cases. in patients with hodgkin's diseased, it's even more rare spontaneous remission is more common after an acute infection. possibly because the infection stimulates the immune system, which then attacks the cancer cells. researchers are still figuring out how and why that's the case of k to go. luca believes the reasons are clear, she got better thanks to her lifestyle changes. can that really be true?

ah, psycho oncologist, elma whiter, has been treating cancer patients for 25 years young's in impatience. we've been treating for a long time. we've seen these unexpectedly positive outcomes more often than you'd expect. and more often than the scientific literature would suggest than i'm. so we looked into the context and examined the lifestyles of these patients. that was our focus for many people, a cancer diagnosis triggers a profound crisis. but patients who do unexpectedly well in their treatment appear to share some inner resources to convey and that better and stronger than they were before they became sick. i guess it's extraordinary. does it matter tough? a blue front on these people emerge from their crisis having experienced serious emotional lows, gain, drift, yoga teeth, and they've asked themselves, who am i on?

what do i really want? what really matters to me? the characters must matson, kato gallagher changed her diet. she stopped eating, processed food and sugar, and made everything from scratch. she also avoided stress and became more aware of meeting her own needs. that even led to her reviewing her friendships. as an unhealthy angsty, these are some of the closest relationships you have. then the end, if they aren't doing you any good, you're going to end up sick. so you have to be honest and brave. and even if you've been friends with someone together with someone for 20 years, this enough, hang, you have to ask yourself, mom, does this person really give me what i need? when to should smith is homage. often it takes a crisis to do this kind of soul searching and attending to your own needs is

certainly a good idea so far though there is no scientific evidence that can help people survive a cancer diagnosis. but in his own work, elma, quite to believes that patients who take charge of their lives are likely to fair better overall get this answers. i'm ang, is, is there a connection between this personal empowerment and process of change and an improved outcome for a cancer patient? i wouldn't want to be too categorical, but i think so, i'm not alone in thinking that i mean other international researchers would agree i'd goodness good knows about 4 k to go luca would also agree that does all garnish mean. i don't think that getting sick was a bad thing. i get ominous when even if it led to an improvement in my quality of life. and i feel healthy, and i'm happy that i can appreciate my good health and that i'm much more aware of

things and can take joy in numbers. his organs unless often var name on to afford it on up. choosing not to follow doctors, recommendations is a risk to to call it is case is certainly an exception, but it's a hopeful, ah, let's continue with more unusual ways to heal body and soul with a little help from some animals. petto therapy is a kind of physical therapy on horseback. it's used to treat everything from paralysis to p. t. s. d and autism therapy dogs help people suffering from speech disorders or depression. while camel's assist with burnout and parkinson's disease. and if you thought that sounded strange, how about these little creatures? our next report is all about the healing power of snails. introducing

hilda, otto dahlia. and liza latter, when they're giant, african snails and their therapists. and they're also miriam shaggy hoskis and pride and joy. she runs an animal assisted therapy farm shackles and her kind of caused her to use. nails aren't very cuddly, smoked, but they're not demanding and they can be very therapeutic. do yeah. does i know they move very slowly, but that quite goal oriented so they can teach us a lot. yeah, it's usually about slowing down about the trail. we leave ups and are very being whole to kind of message for us on the m corpus and be to tire for thomas ploy. giant african land snails are slow and serene. they have a very relaxing vibe and that can have a calming effect, especially for people with mental health issues. hika is an engineer. today is her

1st encounter with the gentle giants. when they're quite, when i look at them, i think of slimy. now switches slightly gripes and it was a going to feel like they hold of a warm will i dare to actually pick it up like i'm quite excited hugs. the name on them is sean bishop. okay. i can feel it attaching itself to my hand and starting to move. c oh, wow. wow, it's surprisingly heavy. i chose this off, but and august i saw it weighs about a kilo and re us is familiar with the giant african snails. he's always been fascinated by them. not cindy, how can you then i 1st encountered them in a psychiatric context. they really calmed me down and had a relaxing and soothing effect of your blood. that's how i ended up coming here. go to school today, didn't tell recently, anthem the snails aren't the only creatures used for animal assisted therapy on the

farm. but the snails are very different from the other therapy animals here. you're convention, how many people who come here have experienced a kind of injury to the soul. here? do we use animals to help them heal given and is it so high? and by didn't snag a thing about snails is that they can heal themselves so long as they haven't been too badly injured in the he 9 on they retreat into their shell and work out what they need to heal, like calcium carbonate on it, in what we get the people we work with her as a chance to pause and ask themselves what it is they need to heal. all we can wonderful. that's on what's what we do her does form in miriam even takes her therapy animals including the snails on outings to a nearby retirement home. for example, the snails are quite popular. are careful. don't be surprised. but let's do it together. or,

or sherwood for elderly people on the snails size and slow movements make them very non threatening children which 80 h. d, or reading and learning difficulties like ben can also benefit snick finished only his nails are amazing. cindy, i think it's great how cautious they are. all this is the way they move. so slow that is, i'm a ring. it's really relaxing. what it does is look at him spun. miriam snails certainly seem to have special talents, especially when it comes to encouraging mindfulness and relaxation. all part of a day's work for her crew of animal therapists. ah. so snail's help alleviate psychological pain. pain relief is among medicines,

oldest functions. it's something that keeps doctors busy to this day. according to the world health organization, 80 percent of adults in europe suffer from headaches at least once a year. almost 10 percent of the population experienced recurring back pain. there are ways to manage chronic pain, yet many people prefer to self medicate. though popping pain. polls can be downright dangerous. potential side effects include intestinal bleeding, stomach else's dizziness and even liver and kidney damage. luckily nature also has its own pain relievers, like chilli peppers, chilli peppers don't just put fireworks in your food. they also have medicinal properties. the active ingredient is the cap c as in, concentrated in the ribs and pip. that's what causes the burning sensation on your

tongue or skin east via now. when we experienced pain, the body undergoes a stress response, will feel warm, and may even break into a sweat. these are clear signs that your metabolism is hard at work. that warns can also be used to ease chance muscles. it's often helpful for joint and back pain, cap c as in patches and creams are specially popular one. have se seen the doctor, i'm the symptom of accepted cafe ascent binds to a specific receptor, and the cells of the body has come to a calcium channel. dusty. she kept saying and stimulates neurons that are sensitive to heat and worn from coffee, which gives you that localized sensation of warmth. i know luc harlow, family acts yawn and state tina, micah studies the effects of kept saying she wants to use it to help you severe

neuropathy. pain which is usually quite difficult to treat. the doctor works with high dose patches that contain 40 times more cab season. than the ones available over the counter demand by hand. as often and unbeknownst least, patches are prescribed for certain kinds of pain in the high concentration of caps, zayus, and leads to a kind of defunct analyzation of specific nerve fibers in the skin. afterwards, it takes a while for them to regenerate the effect can last up to 3 months, which can help these severe nerve pain. but both the high dose patches, as well as the nonprescription patches and creams can have side effects, including redness sores and itching diabetics are especially likely to experience these side effects. gaps is in also has an effect on mucous

membranes. for example, in lozenges, it said that cap says and capsules can even warm up your body from the inside. outside seems, have latin and a new twist will cap saves and capsules that contains smaller doses of caps, zayus, and can help you when you have a sore throat. and some people like to use caps a isn't as a food supplement, mac away to jumpstart their metabolism and promote fat burning. and then of course, there's the traditional route cooking with chili peppers. the longer they simmer, the more they release their pepsi usa, french, or dried. they both do the trick and cooking with chillies, amps up your immune system. bottom line, these little peppers pack a big punch, relieving muscle grade, had given your metabolism and immune system a boost. all the more reason to spice up your life.

oh, that be wed too much chilly, can cause nozer mucous membrane irritation, vomiting and high blood pressure. children are especially sensitive to chin, he's m t as much milder and one of the world's oldest home remedies. even 5000 years ago, people were making infusion is from dr. plans. there are tease to reduce information, east cramps and stomach eggs. this metabolism poke up your mood or appetite, or help you fall asleep. some people also swear by teas, benefits when applied externally. as a compress above additive cleanser the skin makes hair shine and complexions low. so could see even held to treat nero dermatitis. one dr. decided to find out

one big problem with neuro dermatitis also called a topic exema is that it against the skins natural protective barrier. the skin's outermost layer. the epidermis becomes low unless bits that makes it easier for foreign substances to penetrate the skin and cause inflammation. this inflammation is often treated with cortisone that's effective, but in the long run it causes the skin to thin and become even more vulnerable on sensitive areas like the face court is own, shouldn't really be used at all. but could black t provide an alternative dermatologist eoc of she markovich wanted to find out as part of a small study, he treated 22 patients suffering from severe neuro dermatitis on their face using only black tea compresses. kathy did him out, took part in the study. oh yeah. yeah. i think that was the was

clara, however hot on my face since the shopping position, as you might not have now is pretty harmless in comparison with mia. it's harmless king. this is how the treatment worked. a tea bag was steeped in hot water for 10 minutes, and then the infused liquid was discarded. only this 2nd infusion was used after also being steeped for 10 minutes. dear slant on the 2nd confusion is of course weaker. it contains fuel timings of your active ingredients than the 1st infusion. so it's milder and more easily tolerated, but it's still amazingly effective on your cell. 5 times a day, a compress that it had been soaked in the t was placed on the patient's face for 20 minutes. after every treatment, a cream that's rich and fatty acids, but contains no active ingredients, perfume or preservatives was applied to the skin. the study showed that after just

3 days, the patient symptoms were reduced by an average of 70 percent of our flu surprised that the effect happened so fast within 3 days. from by far, the dermatologist believes the teeth therapy has 3 benefits which taken together lead to real improvement. first, the damp compress itself. patience with neuro dermatitis suffer from dry skin, but an acute episode can produce inflamed moist weeping patches. the brute t helps to dry them out. it also cools the skin, which has a soothing effect. second, black t contains tenens. they have anti inflammatory effects can reduce itchiness and regulate the skins moisture balance. and 3rd applying cream helps it slightly greasy. film strengthens the skin's protective barrier. kathy did,

mom was also amazed at the results. i think that when you think it was just black tea that did this, it's a white better option than cortisone my home. now, kathy did mama always has black tea on hand. ordinary tea from the supermarket works just fine, provided it has no added flavorings. when her neuro dermatitis flares up, she just brews up a compress and kicks back to relax. oh, near it in may, titus is typical of many modern day ailments in that stress can make the symptoms even was these days. there is no getting away from stress, especially in the city, would wide some 4500000000 people live in these asshole jungles and close quarters surrounded by noise and dead. he air one study equates the air pollution in cities with smoking a pack of cigarettes a day. ready and twenties are also more likely to suffer from mood swings,

anxiety and depression. but some swear, the panacea is just to walk away in the forest being in the forest just makes you feel good. ah. but why? scientists around the world, one to find out could forest air really be that powerful medicinal cocktail that some claim it to be. finding an explanation is still in the early stages, but the evidence is growing. austrian biologist and also claimants are by his written books that present international research results on forrest medicine. naturally, he read the books in the forest via telephone skiing. they place forests help us to come bought, depression loss, psychological stress on burnout,

hobby actually act. but they also strengthen our immune systems for youngstown can protect us against serious chronic diseases. even hot detox from back door, certain substances in forest air that do it with us is can, this is not new. i nonsense, it's evident space modern science research of one of the earliest studies appeared in 1984. it concluded that just gazing at trees has immeasurably positive effects. post up patience, he looked out of a window into nature recovered faster. a study from the university of chicago showed that the few trees there were in a neighbourhood. the more likely people were to suffer from lifestyle, diseases like cardiovascular problems, high blood pressure and diabetes. ah, it could have something to do with the air. forrest air contains 90 percent fewer dust particles than city i. and that's not the only benefit the gain of and not the

really in the forest. we walk on natural, soft ground, which is good for our joint scene. this angel median. our senses are stimulated by everything around us to get the wind, the bird song going the site of the trees are able to, to new york. these are things that our brains have been trained on throughout evolution. done. the ice increases the activity of our parasympathetic nervous system on this is an important part of our nervous systems. the i eat, responsible for recovery on regeneration in that us. you won't be even on the cellular level and thought this reason that we know that the opposing system because the sympathetic nervous system is very active in hectic bourbon situations . this involved get on it. that's why we modern humans need the forest as a counterbalance when you feel side. when we spend a lot of time in the forest, it was surrounded by bio active substances that are good for. i'll for like, it's going to have old toy. these includes substances known as tuppence. their organic aromatic compounds that plants used to convey messages to

each other. japanese scientists have investigated the effect of forest air which contains tippins on humans. they found that the term pains stimulate our immune systems, the number of natural killer cells increases. these are cells that attack viruses and tumor cells in the body to reap these benefits. you don't even have to do anything special, just breathing. the fresh, fragrant air is enough as a get out of envy or stop call. those of us who live in the city should try to benefit as much as possible from these healthy substances in the forest on the forest. as this takes us, if we should breathing deeply mcmillen's as in this year, we should let the forest sharpen our senses on we should absorb the nature around us. leaving on an ottoman research on the health benefits of spending time in forests is in its infancy may be one day doctors will prescribe a walk in the woods to cue what ails us. but even without that, a war come to

a leafy canopy of green is certainly a wonderful way to relax. ah, ah, but what if you can't escape the stress of urban life then martin schmidt can help you with this quick and easy mindfulness. ted. welcome to mindfulness exercise on a daily walk through the city. sometimes we are busy with thoughts on such a way or we carry around something that can be expressed through tension or unrest . we could make good use of a healthy interruption, and now it's such a mom, for instance, using a traffic light when the green light shows just stay in the here. and now the most

important thing is not to start running off, but really allow and take in that pole or so with the following re lights, you might wanna take some of the experience you've just made with you into the rest of your day. and yeah, simply walk on consciously, again, that's it for in good shape today. hope to see you again. next time i bye with
