Introduction
Welcome to the master list of natural cures for all diseases and illnesses. This is currently a short list, destined to become huge over time. My ultimate goal: A fully collective list.
Safety profiles
Within this document you will find a safety rating, from A+ (the best) to F. Here is a breakdown:
Rating | Description | Notes |
A+ | No negative debilitations or adverse affects. | Beneficial with potentially no risks. |
A | No negative debilitations; some minor adverse affects. | Benefits far exceed potential risks. |
B | No negative debilitations; some moderate adverse affects. | Benefits exceed potential risks. |
C | Possible negative debilitations, strong adverse affects, and/or contradictory studies. | Take caution. |
D | Possible negative debilitations, strong adverse affects, contradictory studies, and/or death. Especially in high doses or unregulated product. Possible therapeutic usage if regulated. | Benefits are likely not worth potential risks. |
F | Possible negative debilitations, strong adverse affects, contradictory studies, and/or death. Dosages may be too difficult to predict, or no benefits found. | Benefits are not worth potential risks. |
Common ailments
See below for a list of the most commonly searched diseases and potential cures.
Cancer
Cancer is a group of diseases characterized by the uncontrolled growth and spread of abnormal cells in the body. Normally, the body’s cells grow, divide, and die in a regulated manner. However, cancer cells bypass these controls, leading to the formation of tumors, which can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). Malignant tumors can invade nearby tissues and spread to other parts of the body through the bloodstream or lymphatic system, a process known as metastasis.
The history of cancer dates back to ancient times, with the earliest documented cases found in Egyptian papyrus texts around 1600 BCE, describing tumors and their treatments. The term “cancer” itself originates from the Greek word “karkinos,” used by Hippocrates in the 5th century BCE to describe tumors resembling crabs. Over the centuries, understanding of cancer evolved, particularly in the 20th century with the discovery of the link between genetics and cancer, leading to significant advancements in diagnosis and treatment, including chemotherapy and radiation therapy.
Currently, cancer remains one of the leading causes of death worldwide, but advancements in research and technology are transforming its management. Precision medicine, which tailors treatment based on individual genetic profiles, is becoming increasingly prevalent. Immunotherapy, which harnesses the body’s immune system to fight cancer, is also showing promising results. Future trends indicate a focus on early detection through advanced screening techniques and the development of novel therapies, aiming to improve survival rates and quality of life for patients.
The following nutraceuticals have shown some positive effects on cancer:
Cardiovascular disease (CVD)
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) refers to a group of disorders affecting the heart and blood vessels. It encompasses a range of conditions, including coronary artery disease (which can lead to heart attacks), cerebrovascular disease (which can cause strokes), heart failure, arrhythmias, and peripheral artery disease. CVD is often associated with atherosclerosis, a condition where plaque builds up in the arteries, narrowing them and restricting blood flow.
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) has a long history, with evidence of heart-related ailments dating back to ancient civilizations. The understanding of CVD evolved significantly over the centuries, particularly in the 20th century when it became clear that lifestyle factors such as diet, exercise, and smoking played crucial roles in heart health. The Framingham Heart Study, initiated in 1948, was pivotal in identifying risk factors like hypertension and cholesterol levels, leading to the development of preventive measures and treatments.
Currently, cardiovascular disease remains a leading cause of death globally, but advancements in medical technology, early detection, and lifestyle interventions are improving outcomes. Future trends indicate a focus on personalized medicine, with genetic research and innovative therapies aimed at prevention and treatment. Public health initiatives are also emphasizing the importance of lifestyle changes, such as healthier diets and increased physical activity, to combat the rising prevalence of CVD, particularly in developing nations.
The following nutraceuticals have shown some positive effects on cardiovascular disease:
Obesity
Obesity is a complex health condition characterized by an excessive accumulation of body fat, which can negatively impact overall health. It is typically measured using the Body Mass Index (BMI), with a BMI of 30 or higher classified as obese.
The following nutraceuticals have shown some positive effects on obesity:
- Berberine [A]
Pain relief
Pain relief encompasses a variety of methods aimed at alleviating discomfort.
The following nutraceuticals have shown some positive effects on pain relief:
- Kratom [D]
