Here we go again....FDA approves Bird Poison for MS Patients

 

Being a practitioner in the Inland Northwest of the U.S., I know only too well the devastating life-changing challenges victims and families of those afflicted with multiple sclerosis (MS) must endure. This area of the country has the largest percentage of MS cases in the country; many thought to be from what is called "Down-winders Syndrome" from a toxic spill at the Hanford Nuclear Plant in Washington state in the 1950's. I've witnessed what this disease does to families...they slowly watch their loved ones fade away into a twisted collage of emotional and physical deterioration that no human should ever have to endure.

 

Now, to add insult to injury, the FDA has just approved a new drug that supposedly helps MS patients walk faster; I wonder if those that approved it are actually taking some kind of mind-altering drug? Click to continue reading...

When we hear about people becoming victims of poliovirus, for instance, we most often believe it’s a disease that peaked many decades ago, and we don’t have to concern ourselves with its probability….that is not the current reality with polio nor other emerging viruses!

Eleven Dangerous Chemicals in Your Home, Office and Vehicle

Household consumer products injure 33.1 million people in the United States every year. These incidents cost $800 billion in related expenses from death, injury or property damages. And many scientists are starting to believe that, in particular, the chemicals found in a wide variety of the goods you use every day may be more toxic than previously thought.

This brain scan shows a healthy brain to the left and one exposed to chemicals on the right...talk about losing one's marbles! Need more proof? I don't. Click to continue reading...

MARS: Multiple Allergic Response Syndromes Part 2 of 2

 

The Role of the Lymphatic System

 

  The lymph nodes act as filtering stations, detecting foreign and potentially harmful substances in the lymph fluid; acting like spongy filter sacks as part of the lymph system. Lymph fluid in an adult equals one to two quarts; accounting for 1% to 3% of body weight. The lymph system is basically the body’s secondary circulation system, thus toxic substances are circulated throughout the system directly through the lymph ducts and nodes connected to the small and large intestines.

The "Fabric" of Allergic Responses

I don’t know about you but I’m reacting to a bio-based processed textile made from reconstituted cellulose from the beech tree. It is used in outer clothing, underwear, towels, bath robes, upholstery, bedding, and also combined with cotton, spandex and other textiles. I’m getting more and more calls from patients following my lead for effective “detective work” in finding the “clues” to their sudden-onset symptoms back to Modal. Click here to continue reading...

Stimulating DNA Ability to Self-Repair Healthy Aging Part 3 of 3

I've discussed significant information about various new research and nutrients that have proven effective in our constant thirst to slow the aging processes. Vitamin C is, again, one of those nutrients that, until now, has not received the credit its due.

According to research conducted by Marcus Cooke (co-author) at the University of Leicester, UK, their team is encouraged because Vitamin C shows the definate ability of the DNA to repair itself after being damaged; as well as being protective through its strong antioxidant properties.

The Myth of Iodized Salt...Why it's Not Enough

Each and every cell in your body calls out for a unique nutrient that is responsible for the production of ALL of your body's hormones as well as for proper functioning immune responses. Without sufficient amounts, you could end up with a host of diseases including cancer, multiple sclerosis, fibromyalgia, immune system disorders, and other disorders too numerous to mention in this context.
