Water in Your Shower: a Sneaky Energy Sapper?

While a long shower or soak in a tub may be relaxing, there could be a downside to it. According to Dr. Stephen Sinatra, M.D., “The chlorine in the water soaks right through the skin and travels via blood to the thyroid, where it hinders this gland’s production of the fatigue-fighting hormone thyroxine.” He advises [...]

Heavy Metal Exposure

Heavy Metal Toxicity & Glyconutrients There are many heavy metals that can affect our health, but lead and mercury are, perhaps, the most dangerous. Lead has long been known to be a harmful environmental pollutant. The Secretary of the Depatment of Health & Human Services in late 1991 called lead “…number one environmental threat to [...]

A couple of good friends of mine sent me an e-mail recently about a water they have been using for several years with good results. It’s called Kangen water. Now I have seen all sorts of discussions on whose water is best, but of the several “waters” out of Japan, Kangen is the only endorsed [...]

We know that the nutrition we eat is not the same as what our parents and grandparents ate, and certainly not the diet our ancestors 40,000 years ago ate. [...]

More On Vitamins

I read something very interesting the other day. Before I tell you about it, I want to give you a little background. The first vitamins produced were essentially not natural, produced synthetically because it was cheap. They were not absorbed because our bodies treated them like rocks. Over the years, the technology of “making” vitamins [...]

How Important is Selenium?

I read an interesting quote from a physician today. Allen Spreen, M.D. wrote: “When the FDA uses the phrase ‘may reduce the risk of certain cancers,’ it’s nearly impossible to imagine they’re talking about anything other than a new costly prescription pill. Because for any substance to get that kind of statement from the FDA [...]

Should I Take Co-Enzyme Q10 (CoQ10)?

Depending on who you talk to, heart disease is either the number one or two leading cause of death in the United States today. So part of the routine we should be using, especially if there is a personal or family history of heart disease, includes eating well, losing weight, getting regular exercise and managing [...]

Should I Be Concerned With My Mercury Fillings?

Should I be Concerned About My “Silver” or Mercury Fillings? “Silver” amalgam fillings are 50% mercury according to the International Academy of Oral Medicine & Technology (IAOMT). A large amalgam filling may contain as much mercury as in a thermometer. Mercury vaporizes easily at room temperature. At room temperature, mercury is odorless, colorless and tasteless. [...]
