It is characterized by loss of joint cartilage that leads to pain and loss of function primarily in the knees and hips. Russell Skinner, MDAccording to a new study performed in the University of Colorado, Boulder, older adults who took a novel antioxidant that specifically targets cellular powerhouses, or mitochondria, saw aging of their blood vessels reverse by the equivalent of 15 to 20 years within six weeks!
This study adds to a growing body of evidence suggesting that nutraceuticals (pharmaceutical-grade nutritional supplements), could play an important role in preventing heart disease - currently the number one leading cause of death in the U.S..

DNA is an amazing molecule and is one of the great wonders of biology. During the 90’s, while western scientists focused on 5% of the DNA (ignoring the other 95% which they dimmed "Junk DNA”), a group of Russian scientists was formed to study the complete human genome. They refused to accept that such a huge majority of DNA could hold no research value.

The Corrosive Effect of Oxygen Unbeknownst to most people, oxygen is both a blessing and a curse. Humans need oxygen in order to live, yet the simple act of breathing in oxygen results in the formation of highly reactive molecules called free radicals. Ronit Mor, NDThe idea that “being too acid” contributes to disease susceptibility, especially cancer, has been around for a long time in the alternative medicine world.
In a recent editorial, Joseph Pizzorno, ND, one of the world’s leading authorities on science-based natural medicine, states that in the past 10 years, a growing body of research has documented not only that “acidosis” is a real phenomenon, but that it is now known to contribute to a wide range of diseases, such as metabolic syndrome, cancer, osteoporosis, kidney stones, muscle wasting, impaired glutathione synthesis and others.

The blood and lymphatic systems are the two major circulatory systems in our body. Although the blood system has been studied extensively, the lymphatic system has been largely neglected until recently. In a recent article, Inho Choi, Sunju Lee, and Young-Kwon Hong of the University of Southern California, Los Angeles, California, propose that it is time for a a brand-new look at the lymphatic system as the other, not the secondary, vascular system, as it is “no less essential than the blood circulatory system for human health and well-being.” |
