Auto-immunity, the what, where, why and how

My favorite question is "why?". I ask it many times in my mind during an intake until I really get to the root causes of the health concern. When we ask ourselves, our body, "why is this happening to me?", we can often find the answers ourselves. Our body is always trying to communicate to us what it needs and doesn't need. With awareness of the wisdom of the body, even in its dis-ease, we learn, grow, have hope, and enlighten ourselves and all that we touch. We learn to trust the body, its vital energy to heal itself, and [...]

Another Cancer Cause Revealed

Colorectal cancer is the 3rd most common cancer diagnosed in men and women in the U.S. The American Cancer Society's estimates for 2014 are 96,830 new cases of colon and 40,000 new cases of rectal cancer. The lifetime risk is 1 in 20 or 5%. There are factors within our control to lessen our chances (research based) such as eating less red meat (beef, lamb, liver), especially processed meats (lunch meat, hot dogs). Also, increasing vegetable and high-fiber foods, and getting daily exercise have been proven to be effective. Obesity, is a strong risk factor within our control, as [...]

Why am I sensitive to certain foods?

These symptoms are truly blessings in disguise. As you may know, trying to figure out exactly which foods are bothering you can be maddening. Everyone has 1 or more food intolerances, and have had them since birth. Many of us don't ever notice symptoms, others notice and patch the symptoms with medications. In recent years, with the surge of gluten intolerance, the idea of food intolerances is becoming more popular, so [...]

The Science behind Raspberry Ketones

Who can resist the beauty of a red raspberry? Their aroma is just as nice. And what an amazing discovery, the power of the ketone molecule in that aroma! Raspberry ketones are very small molecules called "phenols". They are found in raspberries, and also cranberries, blackberries, and anise. Here is a little bit of the science behind the miracle of raspberry ketones. Studies show Raspberry Ketones (RK) increase the breakdown of fat tissue directly with these two methods: Increasing the secretion of adiponectin in fat cells Increasing norepinephrine induced hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL) Adiponectin is a hormone secreted by fat cells.

Detox and lose weight with the far infrared sauna

Our world is full of toxic chemicals. Never before have such large numbers of people been exposed daily to chemicals from building materials, home furnishings, food additives, solvents, pesticides, insecticides, heavy metals, phenols, formaldehyde, BPA's, PCB;s and VOC's. These are found in hundreds of products we touch every day. The problem is that these toxins accumulate in the body, commonly in the adipose or fat tissue, and eventually make us sick. Toxins in the body are known to be part of the underlying cause of the following conditions. Ever wonder if you are toxic? Take the Toxicity Questionnaire and [...]
