Healing with Whole Foods

Of all the recommended strategies for fighting disease and promoting overall health and well being, few are as critical and profound as the practice of healthy eating. Healthy eating is a lifelong process of nourishing our bodies, minds and spirits. It is not about depriving ourselves completely of foods that we enjoy, because even when a specific medical condition dictates such restriction, there are a number of healthier alte atives to many of our favorite foods that are available on the market today.

Strawberries Show Promise for Cancer Prevention

Modern medicine has always derived the raw materials for pharmaceutical drugs from nature, as nature provides delicate yet powerful ingredients for balance and wellness. Time and time again, be it academic researchers and scientists, or herbalists and medicine men, people discover a simple yet complex compound, found in something so common as a flower or vegetable, that creates the next novel prescription for health. Researchers from Ohio State University conducted a preliminary study which revealed that strawberries may actually prevent and slow cancer from growing in the esophagus.

New Study Shows Modified Citrus Pectin Activates Powerful Immune Responses

Today I am thrilled to share with you groundbreaking research demonstrating the ability of a specific form of Modified Citrus Pectin (MCP) to greatly enhance immune function. The study found that MCP activated B-cells in a dose-dependent manner, and induced a highly significant dose-dependent activation of T-cytotoxic cells and Natural Killer (NK) cells. The NK-cell's cancer killing activity was demonstrated against live leukemia cancer cells. The study is published in the journal BMC Complementary and Alte ative Medicine.

Something Every Woman Should Know: Your Breast Density

In recent months, the issue of "breast density" has received more widespread publicity. This bit of information has been contained all along in your mammogram report, but no one was talking about it and how important this piece of information is in determining the accuracy of a mammogram. Dense breast tissue is comprised of less fat and more connective tissue which appears white on a mammogram. Cancer also appears white on a mammogram. Thus, tumors are often hidden behind the dense tissue. As a woman ages, her breasts usually become more fatty and less dense.

Stay Healthy on Vacation and at Home: Enhance Your Health with Probiotics

Summer vacations and traveling adventures can do wonders for your heart, mind and spirit, but they can also take a toll on your physical health if you’re not careful. Many travelers understand first-hand the unfortunate risks to digestive health that often “come with the territory,” so to speak. Travelling, backpacking, even a simple camping trip (among other routes of exposure) can introduce foreign microbes to the digestive tract, resulting in mild to severe digestive problems that may be difficult to diagnose.

Third Peer-Reviewed Study Shows Powerful Benefits of My Integrative Prostate Formula

Prostate cancer remains a leading cause of cancer-related death for men in developed countries. One in six men will fight prostate cancer in their lifetime, and in many cases this disease is aggressive and difficult to treat using conventional therapies alone. Researchers are constantly seeking safe and effective methods to halt or slow prostate cancer progression, and as a product formulator and prostate cancer expert, I have devoted much of my career to this area of research.

What You Need to Know About Folate

Folate, also known as folic acid, is an essential B vitamin that everyone needs, but not everyone gets enough of. Folate is the natural form found in leafy green vegetables and other types of whole foods such as legumes, bananas and eggs, whereas folic acid is the synthetic form of vitami B that is added to foods and nutritional supplements. While it is an especially important nutrient for women, particularly those in their reproductive years or those who are pregnant, it is critical that both men and women obtain enough folate through proper diet and supplementation.

Despite Improving Situation in Japan, Still Risk of Radiation Exposure

The nuclear crisis in Japan may be slowly improving, but we are not completely out of the clear when it comes to radiation exposure. Despite assurances by the U.S. government that there is no real risk of radiation exposure here in North America, fears are continuing to rise over the potential clouds of radioactive fallout (radioactive isotopes) that may travel via jet stream winds and contaminate local areas, especially on the West Coast.

Winter Relaxation and Contemplation for our Heart and Mind

The holidays are over and we are now deep into the winter season. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the winter is about conservation of energy, efficiency and slowing down our pace in concert with nature. As nature slows down and everything grows slower or stops, the potential for new growth in the spring is already taking place. A beautiful place to see this is inside a beehive. While the bees are dormant and less active, the queen bee is already laying drone eggs.

What You Need to Know Before Your Body Cleanse

Winter is in full force but spring will be here before you know it, allowing you to engage in more outdoor activities, such as gardening and yard work—clearing your garden beds for new seeds, raking leaves and getting your backyard ready for barbecues. But just as you clean up your home environment, it is also important to cleanse your internal environment, and now is as good a time as any to begin preparing for an early spring cleanse.

AMA Study Promotes a Dangerous New Supplement Bill

A new study just published in the American Medical Association’s Archives of Internal Medicine claims that taking supplements, including multivitamins, poses an increased risk in mortality, particularly for women. The authors draw the sweeping conclusion that the widespread use of dietary supplements is unjustified and “causes more harm than good.” This is clearly a political attack, spearheaded by Big Pharma in their usual attempt to discredit the real science behind dietary supplements.

Uniting Homeopathy and Chinese Medicine

Homeopathy is essentially an alte ative medical practice that treats a disease by the administration of diluted or minute doses of a remedy that would, in healthy persons, produce symptoms similar to those of the disease. Chinese Medicine is the general term to describe the numerous methods of healing used in Chinese culture for many thousands of years. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) works to harmonize the body’s five basic elements: fire, wood, earth, metal, and water.

Empowering Cancer Patients with Life-Saving Findings

When it comes to integrative cancer treatment, I always emphasize the importance of “patient-driven medicine.” Patient-driven medicine is what true integrative medicine is about. It embraces the principle of equality between patient and doctor, and each treatment program is tailored to the patient’s individual needs, desires and comfort level, with a focus on non-biased and holistic, comprehensive protocols.

Do You Really Need a Flu Shot? New Research Suggests Otherwise

The government and pharmaceutical companies would have us believe that many segments of the population must get vaccinated against the flu every year to protect their health. These supposedly “high risk” groups include pregnant women, children less than five years of age (and especially children under the age of two) and everyone aged 50 and older. Is this information truly accurate and based on sound science? Maybe not. Safety and Efficacyr

New Study Shows Milk Thistle Supports Liver Health

A new study shows that milk thistle extract may help reduce liver swelling and toxicity associated with conventional treatment given for abnormal cell growth. The study is important because by combating liver aggravation, patients may better tolerate prescribed doses of conventional medicines, especially since severe liver swelling often leads to lowered doses of necessary medication. The study was conducted in children currently being treated for abnormal cell growth of white blood cells.

Politicians, Medical Experts and Advocates Meet on Capitol Hill for Solutions to Rising Breast Cancer Rates in Young Women

The rates of breast cancer among women under the age of 40 have increased significantly over the last two decades. Younger women typically face greater challenges with this disease than women over 50, partly because early diagnosis is less common among younger women and most cases among this population are not detected until the cancer has progressed to a more advanced stage. Even more troubling, young women with breast cancer often have a much more aggressive form of the disease to begin with, and tragically, the survival rates are statistically lower.

The Frog Wakes Up…What Stress Does To Our Health

We all know the old adage of the frog that is placed in the pot of cold water. The water heats so slowly that the frog merrily goes about its froggy business never realizing its fate until it’s too late to jump out. The point is we allow ourselves to adapt to unrelenting “stress” in multiple dimensions of our lives. We perceive this as “normal” and can even feel lost or bored when some spaciousness appears amidst the fray.

Are Your Favorite Veggies High in Sugar?

Following an organic, whole foods-based diet that contains a variety of fresh vegetables is essential for maintaining optimal health. Vegetables have significant phytochemical (plant nutrient and antioxidant) profiles and are many are rich in fiber, which contribute to gastrointestinal health as well as the detoxification of toxins and heavy metals. While it is important to include these nutrient-rich staples in your diet, some vegetables may actually feed your body with another element that you might not be aware of – sugar.
