PCOS All Natural Cures - How To Stop PCOS to Look and Feel Great!
Natural treatments are the most effective ways to reverse PCOS because natural methods treat the root cause of the problem. natural cures also have more benefits to your health compared to traditional ways of managing the condition.
Hormone Therapy - Some doctors get the wrong impression and believe that PCOS can be managed with hormone replacement therapy. This is not only wrong but it also can hurt a woman's health! Hormone therapy is designed to bolster hormones especially estrogen because the symptoms of polycystic ovary syndrome are caused by unbalanced hormones. This is short sighted however as the hormonal imbalance is just a symptom of a deeper problem. Also, HRT has been known to increase risks of breast cancer, Alzheimers disease and heart attacks.
Drugs - Like hormone replacement therapy other drug based solutions miss the point because they try to overcome the symptoms not the root cause of PCOS. Some drugs do recognize that the base problems need to be addressed but do not solve the problem but only bring temporary relief ... this means it is STILL THERE! As soon as you stop taking the drugs the menstrual pain, infertility, hair, weight gain and all the other PCOS problems will return. Not to mention many women suffer terrible side effects when on certain drugs.
So what is the root cause of PCOS you are probably wondering and how do you fix it.
The root cause of PCOS is Insulin Resistance. This is a condition where the body produces insulin which is used to take glucose from your blood to feed to the body for various functions - In your case however the insulin does not work very well. As such, the body makes massive amounts of insulin in the hopes that more insulin will equal more energy as a small percentage of a lot might be enough.
What this means is that your body is flooded with the hormone insulin
This causes your other hormones to go haywire and become unbalanced which results in fluctuations of estrogen, progesterone and other hormones which sends your menstrual cycle into turmoil and thus ... PCOS happens.
So to overcome PCOS you must fix insulin resistance which requires a combination of a change in diet, how you think and also a bunch of other lifestyle changes which can balance your hormones and cater for your insulin resistance so it does not happen again.

Reiki - Can it Help you Look and Feel Great?
Judith Conroy is an author of a guide about how to become a Reiki master which you can download off the net.
She claims to be able to teach reiki without needing a reiki master to "transfer energy to you" which makes sense to me. If you need a master all the time who started it all anyway??
In any case, if you want to know more about Reiki visit her site here:
chikara-reiki-do
There is a very good free into guide you can sign up for on the front page which I highly recommend you investigate.
Can Lucid Dreaming Help Your Mental Health?
My belief is that it IS helpful to your health because it does not disturb your sleep, in fact it can make you sleep better because you can control disturbing dreams and banish them.
You can also use lucid dreaming to uncover many things about yourself through your subconscious that you may not understand when you are awake.
The possibilities of what you can do when you lucid dream are quite large.
So how do you do this? It is obviously not an easy thing to do or we could all be doing it. I am not an expert on the matter but a guide that is helping me discover more and more each night came to my attention a few weeks back.
Lucidology
This is an excellent e-book that will take you through the process step by step if you are interested in lucid dreaming and out of body experiences.

Are You Skinny? Build Muscle the Right Way
Skinny? Build muscle the right way for your body type with these three tips for skinny guy bodybuilding that can have you turning your slim frame into slabs of rock hard muscle.
- Eat More - If you are a skinny guy there you have to know that your metabolism, the process in your body that converts food into energy and nutrients is very high compared to other people. This is what keeps you so skinny because it burns through energy so fast that there is very rarely anything left to store in fat cells like others with slower metabolisms do. This means that you also have very little energy left to feed your muscles most of the time so when you workout the work you do is not capitalized on as well as it should. Try to eat foods that are small in size but do not fill you and have a high amount of calories and protein such as: Whole eggs, Avocado, Tuna and Salmon in olive oil, rice and pasta.
- Quality not Quantity - This is in relation to your workouts. Doing lots of reps will not stress your muscles and force them to react and grow accordingly. It may increase your muscle endurance but if you are aiming on increasing mass to stop looking so damned skinny then you need to lift heavier weights and really challenge yourself ... within reason of course. Fewer reps, heavier weights and even shorter sessions if you do it right because over exercising can be a trap many people who are ultra keen to start fall into and waste time and energy that could be used for...
- Rest for Repair - Recovery is an important part of building muscles for a skinny guy especially. If you do not rest enough your body does not have enough time and energy to repair your muscles which is what makes them bigger. If you hit the gym every day you are actually inhibiting the processes in your body that will make you stronger and add mass as long as you eat the right diet and have exercised correctly.
This can get you only so far though, if you really want to know how to pack on the pounds and get ripped really fast you need a complete plan made BY a former skinny guy FOR skinny guys because what you read in the bodybuilding magazines is a scam ... click below to find out more.

6 Rules to Gain Muscle From Skinny Beginnings
For years the bodybuilding industry has been growing as they sell new products like weight gain supplements and an amazing variety of complex and often completely USELESS gimmicks and machines. Building muscles from skinny bodies is what fuels this rampant expansion because if you are a skinny guy and have tried to pack on some muscle mass you may have found it quite difficult and they know this!
To save you hundreds of dollars on things you do not need and redirect your efforts and funds to more important things here are 5 rules you need to follow to build muscle from skinny beginnings.
1. Eat More Calories
I know what you are thinking "I want to get big and muscular not big and FAT!" but eating more is not going to generate flab if you know what you are doing. You see the skinny guy's body is a hyper metabolizing machine! IT burns through calories so fast usually that there is nothing left to go to fat which is why you are skinny, however it is a double edged sword and the same high metabolism also eats away the energy and nutrients needed to feed your muscles after a workout meaning you get little to no muscle growth!
2. Strength Not Endurance
Do you think you are going to grow large muscles by lifting a smaller weight many times or if you lift a heavier weight fewer times? If you chose the former BUH-BOW! WRONG! Repetition does not encourage your body to grow stronger it will only give you more muscle endurance which is difference and does make you look ripped and feel great. Instead you need to stress those muscle because the more stress you place on them the more blood pumps into them and the more the muscles actually tear and break which then get repaired later which creates muscle mass.
3. Forget Isolation Exercises
The gym machines that just focus on a few muscle groups and not as beneficial to you as weight exercises like bent over rows and others that recruit muscles from many more parts of the body. This is more efficient for overall body tone and muscle development ... even non-skinny guys should follow this bit of advice.
4. Short and Intense workouts
You do not need to be at the gym for 1 to 2 hours every day doing marathon gym sessions. After a certain time your muscles can handle no more and you may as well pack up and head home. Instead you are better off making your exercises count where you need it in short but highly intense weight lifting sessions. 30 to 45 minutes may be all you need if you push yourself and your muscles to the limit in that period the right way.
5.Rest
All of this is moot if you want to build muscles from your skinny body if you do not REST. The body needs time to repair and use those extra calories you have eaten to feed and repair the muscles you have been working on. If you hit the gym too soon you will actually stop the body in the process of recovery and gain nothing. Instead make sure you don't go every day, alternate or leave a few days between each session and you will have more time to recover and build muscles and more time for yourself too.
6.Persistance and Motivation
It can be a tough journey and it can be a LONG journey for skinny hard gainers but if you ask anyone who has decided to change their bodies when they thought they could not be it getting muscles from skinny genetics or becoming skinny from being a larger individual everyone that actually successes will tell you, "It is not easy, it was HARD ... but I stuck at it and kept going and eventually I got there!". Simply put, as long as you know the end goal and you have a map and a set of rules to follow YOU WILL GET THERE, don't give up part way.
So if you want to gain muscle from skinny arms, legs, chest and more to not only make yourself look good but make you feel great too click below to find out exactly how to apply these rules in your day to day routine for bodybuilding success written by a former skinny guy FOR skinny guys!

Skinny Guys Gain Muscle Poorly Without This Information
Skinny guys gain muscle if they know their body type and know how it can inhibit muscle growth. Skinny guys gain muscle if they have a plan and a change of lifestyle to gain the muscular ripped body they want. Skinny guys DO NOT gain muscle if they read bodybuilding magazines and follow the advice of other guys who do not have a skinny body type because things are different for you because of your high metabolism.
Let me explain.
Genetically you have a metabolism that burns through energy created by food so fast that is powers the body and mind just fine but leaves nothing left that will be stored as fat cells; this is why you are so skinny. It also means that the same process leaves nothing left to feed, repair and grow your muscles and that is why regular bodybuilding information is bad for you because it rarely take this into account.
So what information do you need so skinny guys gain muscle?
Firstly you know how your body works in regards to metabolism so now you need to work around it. You can do this by eating more and putting more calories in your body because if you have more calories that it is used to your metabolism can not burn it fast enough so there will be leftovers that if you do not exercise will become fat but if you hit the gym and lift weights will be diverted to the muscles in need to increase that muscle mass and make you stronger and better looking.
You also need to know how to work out because less extreme body types gain muscle even if they work out badly but you need to do it the right way every time to pack on the pounds. This involves shorter, high intensity, high weight, low reps, total body workouts to stress the muscles all over to a high degree which promotes growth not just muscle tone which you are naturally good at.
This can get you started on your quest for a better body but for all the information on how skinny guys gain muscle from a former skinny guy who knows every secret including diet, exercise and the poorly understood requirement for good rest click below.
