The pH Controversy
In nutrition circles, there is an ongoing debate about the importance of pH in the body. In normal human physiology there are variations in acidity or alkalinity in different areas, from the strong acidity of stomach acid to an equally strong alkalinity in the small intestine where bicarbonate is released.

A Detox a Day Keeps the Doctor Away
Given the ubiquitous presence of toxins within our environment, detoxification must accompany any long-term effort towards obtaining optimum health.

The Microbiome
Charles Darwin, one of the early pioneers of the theory of evolution, has had his work paraphrased by stating that it is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent, but rather the one most adaptable to change.

The Hidden Toxicity: Electromagnetic Pollution
A toxicity that you cannot hear, see, touch, smell, or taste – this is the dilemma with electromagnetic pollution. Another key problem is the widespread adoption of electromagnetic field generating devices with little to no understanding of the long-term effect. It took decades of cigarette smoking before a public health epidemic came to light and […]
Home Remedy: Gut Remodeling
“All disease begins in the gut.” These famous words spoken by Hippocrates, the father of Western medicine, are more important than ever for us to observe. Gut integrity and the health of the microbiome determine how our internal world is influenced by the external world. The gut processes food and drink into the building blocks […]
