Total Kit

I have a 2000 Honda 400ex, how much more power would a 440 big bore kit give me?

I would like to install a big biore kit, a cam, and maybe a carb. The total cost of these mods would be around $1000, considering I could do all the installation minus the machining myself. Does anybody have experience with a similar set-up? How does it compare to the new 450s in terms of power.

You should expect about a 10% increase in torque with just the big bore kit, with the cam and carb, along with some flow work in the port of the head, horsepower may also increase 10%, or more. A lot depends on the cam you chose, size of carb, quality of port work. Before you spend the money, decide on what it is you want out of the engine. There are two types of power available, show-off power, and racing power. About 90% of the folks want racing power, when they really need show-off power. Needless to say, racing power is much more expensive, much higher revs are used, and engine life is shorter, but if you need it, you got to have it. Show off power cam be obtained with a big bore kit with compression as high as can be maintained by the head design and fuel available. Slick/match the ports up a bit, be sure carb set-up is spot on, and away you go, for a long time.

I woke up one morning, feeling like death warmed up. It was a struggle to get out of bed. But I had animals to feed, so made a valiant effort. Every few minutes I had to sit down, to gather my strength.

Then I had to phone my patients, another enormous task, to cancel my appointments.

Then I thankfully slumped back to bed.

But then I became thirsty.

And I couldn't go back to sleep.

Eventually I got up and sat in the living room, feeling sorry for myself, possibly dosing.

I couldn't think. It didn't help being a practising homeopath at that time. There was no energy to work out what I needed.

By about lunch time, after getting up to get myself yet another drink of water, I suddenly had a eureka moment.

Normally I love tea - actually I'm a bit of a tea-a-holic. And I love it hot and glug it down. All morning I had been sipping at water, which wasn't entirely due to the fact that I had little energy. I just didn't feel like tea.

Odd.

One of the things I most love about complimentary alternative medicine is that it generally individualises you. Everyone is an individual. One size doesn't fit all. My particular favourite is homeopathy, as this medical modality is all about your unique symptoms.

One symptom, like my total exhaustion, wasn't enough to prescribe a homoeopathic remedy on, as there are many which have this symptom.

You need to have a few good symptoms of a particular remedy, to work out if it will help you. Three good symptoms is normally enough for acute prescribing.

I knew my condition was acute as I had felt the effects of a cold or flu coming on over a few days. Stupidly, I hadn't taken any action.

So I had two good symptoms - total exhaustion and flu.

The third symptom came to me when I realised I wanted to sip water rather than glug tea.

The homeopathic remedy Arsenicum album is an enormous remedy, with a huge scope for healing many ailments with many different symptoms. Three of the main ones are exhaustion, desire to sip drinks and flu.

Once I started on the remedy, I fell asleep (always a good sign) and then gradually picked up in energy. By late in the afternoon I was up and active. By the following day I was completely recovered.

When you look outside the complementary alternative medicine area, can you see any modality which will heal such a condition so fast and so completely? Without side effects?

Do let me know if you know of one.

Because I'll eat my hat. Actually I don't have a hat. I'd have to buy one to eat it...

I don't know very much about other areas of complementary alternative medicine other than homeopathy, as this is such a huge subject it will take me the rest of my life to really understand it. There is so much to learn.

But it can also be so simple.

A novice home prescriber, armed with a general homeopathic kit, would have had access not only to the remedy, but also to the information to work out which remedy was best suited to my condition.

In recent years, there have been global health scares for bird flu, SARS and now swine flu. But every year, globally, millions are affected by flu anyway. As far as homeopathy, my all time preferred favourite complementary alternative medicine goes, the strain of the virus makes not one jot of difference to the effect the remedy will have on you.

It's only your unique symptoms which matter. And they are common in any type of flu.

Arming yourself with a quality homoeoapthic home prescribing kit, with clear instructions, and you're taking control of your life.

But remain open to the other modalities of complementary alternative medicine, too. They all work with your body, so can assist you.
