Toxicity is an issue that is complicated and multifaceted. Neither is it light and heart-warming. The simple fact is our bodies and the body of Mother Earth are heavily burdened with chemicals, radiations, and negative thoughts. Thousands of new petrochemical and food additives are unleashed every year. Massive networks or wireless and satellite data transmissions […]

The Great Blood Sugar Balancing Act
High blood sugar is the scourge of our times, playing a major role in most all of the chronic degenerative diseases from which we suffer. Elevated blood sugar can be effectively controlled with appropriate diet changes, stress reduction, and moderate exercise. The most obvious end result of high blood sugar is type II diabetes or […]
Dirty Electricity Part 1: The Problem
In a previous post we discussed the health effects of microwave radiation coming from cellular and cordless (DECT) phones as well as wireless (WiFi) networks. There is, however, a broad range of electromagnetic frequencies that we are exposed to – some natural and some manmade. Although it can be precisely measured, there is little […]
Home Remedy: Cooking Oils
When it comes to choosing a cooking oil, it is best to stick with the fats and oils that have been in the human diet for hundreds of years. Ask yourself, what did my great-grandmother cook with in her kitchen? If she would recognize and use that oil or fat, chances are your body would […]
Infections Part 1: The Landscape
Microbes have been here long before us and will likely continue to thrive long after we are gone. They are the building blocks of life on Earth and it is speculated that their evolution into more complex structures has given rise to the mitochondria organelle found throughout cells of the mammalian body. This would imply […]
Cancer
Currently in the United States, cancer is the cause of death of one out of every four people, and by some estimates, will increase as much as 50% by the year 2020. Although malignancy has always been an affliction of humanity, these statistics of epidemic proportion are likely out of sync with the rates of […]

As the name implies, this naturally occurring protein activates macrophages, an innate element of immune function. GcMAF can be deactivated by the […]
The Risks of Mammograms; the Benefits of Thermography
One thing that gets my goat is the attribution of mammography as preventative medicine, as if getting a yearly mammogram could prevent breast cancer. A mammogram is not a tool of prevention, but detection.
The Cancer Continuum: Finding Your Own Way
Expand what composes a cancer promoting or anticancer lifestyle; think beyond that black and white dichotomy.
Yes, it is helpful when the choices are clear cut—smoking causes lung cancer, broccoli sprouts are anticancer—yet there is a lot of gray area in between. What happens when something contributes to cancer formation in one individual but prevents it in another? What if that thing does both in the same person dependent upon degree?
