Food Sensitivities: Do they Matter? 17.03.2017 51:48
One diet does not fit all. Each person may have unique food sensitivities that lead to inflammation and set off a long chain of adverse reactions leading to chronic illnesses.

Gluten: Fad or Health Risk? 17.02.2017 55:11
There has been a lot of talk recently about gluten, but a gluten free diet is more than a fad. According to Dr. Tom O'Bryan, the human body cannot digest gluten and even a small amount of gluten will set off a cascade leading to intestinal inflammation and permeability, resulting in systemic inflammation and autoimmune reactions. This cascade towards a chronic illness goes unnoticed as there may b...
Aging is a Mistake 10.02.2017 54:14
Raymond Francis believes that aging is a mistake and with proper maintenance we can live to age one hundred. Fatigue, obesity, aches and pain are not a normal result of aging, but result from not allowing the body to perform its normal function of self repair. If we don't maintain our body, it will end up on a junk pile in disrepair. There are teenagers that have the biological age of forty due to...
Our Toxic World: Is it Making Us Sick? 03.02.2017 49:38
Toxins are every where. They are in our personal care products, cleaning products, sofas, carpets, clothes. Before a woman leaves the house she might have put on over one hundred toxic products. Most of these toxins have not been studied for their safety, and cause harm at doses lower than previously thought. They are synergistic causing greater harm when combined. Dr. Campbell points out that Can...

The risks for diabetes start when the fasting morning glucose...

Healthy Hearts: Why are Doctors' Exams Outdated? 13.01.2017 55:48
The risks for heart attacks are not what we thought. The cholesterol model is outdated and does not adequately assess who is at risk for cardiovascular disease. The present evaluation, diagnosis, prevention and treatment of heart disease does not adequately identify at risk populations. For example the risks for cardiovascular disease starts when the blood pressure goes above 110/70. Likewise the...
