  • Dietary Approach
    The goal of achieving optimal fatty acid nutrition must be approached by altering the fatty acid composition of the day-to-day meal pattern.
  • The Need To Change Lipid Nutriture
    There are likely factors other than just the incorporation of high levels of fish oils in the diet which have protective effects against cardiovascular disease.
  • Broad Health Effects
    Alteration of the fatty acid content of the diet has much potential beyond just cardiovascular and inflammatory effects. The scientific literature is unveiling new diseases that may be altered, cured, or prevented with fatty acid therapy.
  • Atherogenesis
    The putative ability of fish oils to affect cardiovascular health has focused considerable attention on lipid nutriture. Investigations of societies consuming high levels of omega-3 and -9 oils as well as both prospective and retrospective scientific studies have demonstrated the increasing importance of dietary fats.
  • Lipid Transport
    Once lipids are disassembled in the intestinal lumen and mucosal cell (enterocyte) they are reassembled in the mucosal cell as chylomicrons (CM's) and very low density lipoproteins (VLDL's). These vehicles contain primarily nonpolar cholesterol esters and triglycerides in the core and polar cholesterol, protein, and phospholipids in their membranes.
  • Lipids In Inflammation
    Inflammation is a broad term describing the body's reaction to injury. It is a necessary process enabling defense against toxins and pathogens, protection against further damage, and repair of tissue.
  • Fatty Acid Pathways
    Fatty acids exist in the body primarily as triglycerides and phospholipids. Phospholipids make up the bilipid membrane of cells and the membranes of organelles within the cytoplasm.
  • Essential Fatty Acids
    Linoleic and linolenic acid contain omega-6 and 3 bonds and are necessary for mammalian metabolism. These two fatty acids are there­fore essential fatty acids (EFA) and must be supplied by the diet.
  • Lipid Digestion
    Most natural whole foods have inherent enzymes capable of completely or partially digesting lipids if the enzymes are not destroyed through heat and processing. This widely underestimated value of whole, raw, fresh foods has been by and large ignored.
  • Lipid Biochemistry
    Fatty acids contain from 4 to 22 carbon atoms. They can be saturated, having no double bonds in the carbon chain, mono-unsaturated with one double bond in the chain, or polyunsaturated with several double bonds in the fatty acid.
  • Lipid Functions
    Lipids are a concentrated source of energy providing more than double the amount on a per-weight basis than that contained in either carbohydrates or proteins. They help maintain body temperature through both their insulating effects and the heat generated from their oxidation.
  • Learn From History
    We either learn from history or we are doomed to repeat it. The wise not only pay attention to world history, but the experiences (history) of others in order to avoid making mistakes.
  • Where To Live
    The allure of greener pastures can fill us with hope and promise. Moving from one's home locale is also often done to escape problems. Pulling up stakes is a serious decision that, more often than not, is not a wise move.
  • Life’s Predictability
    Although life is uncertain, the stages we pass through are quite predictable. Such developmental stages do not end with achieving adulthood but continue through all of life. Being aware of the transitions makes us more prepared to live a better life.
  • Anabolic Hormones - A Two-Edged Sword
    Hormones, such as anabolic steroids, are among the most dangerous of all drugs. Although they may produce short term changes, their long term consequences are a poor trade off.
  • Murphy’s Law
    Life never seems to go exactly as planned. However, without surprises, failures and disappointments we cannot grow and improve. Learning and growing is what life is all about.
  • Things Mound Up
    Life is not a matter of here today and gone tomorrow. Choices we make accumulate over time to create burdens that eventually must be either psychologically or physically dealt with. Guiding life with intelligent foresight is the key to long term happiness.
  • Life Is Uncertain
    Try as we may, life cannot be perfectly scripted. Nor should it. Its ups, downs and surprises create the experience that is necessary to become better people.
  • School
    Public education needs dramatic revision so it is more relevant to the skills needed by graduates. Parents should be more engaged; teachers more 'real-world' qualified and held to standards.
  • Experience
    Although experience is the best teacher in life, the wise are able to learn from other's mistakes and greatly accelerate their progress.
  • Rationale for Whole Protein Shake™
    The perfect supplement and meal replacement for dieters, growing children, athletes, body builders, the ill and the elderly.
  • Exercise
    We are designed for daily exercise. In the wild if we did not exercise we would not eat, but in our modern world it is a choice. There is virtually no aspect of health that is not benefited by it but if it is done improperly it can also ruin health.
  • The Best Food
    The traditional food pyramid is broken and the nutritional religion hasn’t solved the problem, the solution is what nature intended and sticking to what your body is genetically adapted to nourish itself on.
  • More Cancer Treatment Failure
    In spite of billions of dollars in research and treatment, cancer has far greater incidence today then at the turn of the century. The answer is not more money but better thinking.
  • Impossible=Possible
    Evolutionists use probabilities to prove that life could have emerged on Earth by chance. Not only are such probabilities in the realm of impossible, scientific laws demand that probable events happen, not impossible ones.
  • Feminizing The World
    A variety of female hormone pollutants being released into the environment not only increase the risk of cancer but result in sexual dysfunction and aberrations.
  • The Female Hormone Problem
    Modern women who choose to not have children put themselves at risk of increased estrogen sensitive cancers. Modern pollutants and lifestyle choices also increase the risk. The solution is to understand natural biological design and mimic that as closely as possible.
  • Evolutionary Theory Harms Health
    Evolution creates a belief. Belief creates action. In health care, evolutionary belief assumes that which is not true: that we are just an amalgam of parts and pieces that can be modified, removed or replaced without consequence.
  • The Many Faces Of Estrogen
    Phytoestrogens are natural compounds found in plants that may exert a beneficial effect in women without the harmful side effects usual with pharmaceuticals.
  • Determinism
    Materialists believe that all the energy and matter in the universe is governed by physical laws. Since evolution presumes materialism is all there is, and denies the quite evident presences of free will their foundation crumbles. Your free choice to believe in evolution would be the very act that denies its validity.
  • Germs Don’t Cause Disease, You Do
    Total disinfection and sterilization is not the answer to avoiding disease as proven by any child grubby from a day’s play. Bacteria is needed for healthy bodies and correct diet and sleep will do more for you than the best soaps or pills.
  • Surviving Tragedy
    Everyone will suffer the loss of a loved one at some time in life. There are principles to learn and keep in mind so that when tragedy does strike you can take the steps that will speed healing.
  • What Does The Eye Tell Us About Evolution
    Complex organs, such as the eye, contain thousands of interrelated parts that seem impossible to explain coming into existence piecemeal. Such irreducible complexity argues strongly against evolution
  • Dollars Don’t Make Health
    The medical community has developed expensive band-aids that do nothing but cover the problem and not solve the underlying causes. Doctors have long known that most disease comes through improper lifestyle choices but because of financial pressures issue prescriptions instead of life-saving advice. Americans now spend over $1.5 trillion annually on medical care. There is no end in sight to rising costs. From the medical community’s standpoint, why should there be? If you have a cash cow you milk it for all it is worth.
  • Rationale for Creating the First "Un-Cereal™"
    No creature other than humans cooks its food. Does nature have it all wrong? Additionally the modern glut of sugars and carbohydrates is totally out of syn with our genetic design. Little wonder we are suffering myriad degenerative diseases unheard of in creature that respect the laws of nature. A new 'Un-Cereal' helps to solve this problem.
  • The Prime Mover
    The flow of money is a powerful force in modern society. Ideas and practices too often remain in place not because they are good for society, but because they protect financial interests. Yet economics is the perfect place for ethics and principles because money is what moves the world.
  • Vaccine Safety
    Vaccines are good in theory but expose people and animals to a variety of risks. Disease was never vanquished by vaccines; healthy bodies with healthy immune systems offer the best hope.
  • Life And Health In The Year 1000
    Comparing life today to life in the year 1000 is revealing. The measure of health and long life today is not due to medical measures but to hygiene and food distribution brought about by technological advances. Today the greatest threat is not famine, but wrong choices.
  • Rejuvenating Sex And Health Naturally
    The answer for an ebbing sex life is not a pharmaceutical, but change in lifestyle and eating habits. Sexuality is also intimately linked to health: sex is healthy and unhealthiness destroys sex.
  • The Supernatural
    Supernatural is a word that has caused much conflict between science and religion. Since nobody knows the bounds of nature, nobody can say what lies outside of those bounds. "Supernatural" needs to be retired and in its place put the open-minded search for truth.
  • Proving Evolution With The Dictionary
    Evolution is a widely held belief but few have examined the hard science for its major thesis that humans emerged from the sod. Interestingly, one of the strongest arguments (however weak it is) lies in the dictionary.
  • Mother Love
    The mother-child bond is critical to healthy development. Love between the two is even biochemically hard-wired. We need to take note as society moves in a direction that assumes that so long as children's basic needs are met all is well. It isn't.
  • X-Rays – What You Don't See & Feel Can Hurt You
    X-rays are a wonderful medical technology that has the potential for great harm, including genetic damage, cancer and atherosclerosis. X-ray damage accumulates and thus there is no safe level.
  • Is Vitamin E Lethal?
    The media has sensationalized reports that vitamin E may increase fatalities. Unfortunately this is bad reporting based on bad science and will inhibit people from using an important disease reducing vitamin.
  • You are Closer to Being Vitamin C Deficient Than You Think
    Few people would expect that the average modern diet is deficient in a vitamin essential to life. Research now shows that vitamin C deficiency is widely spread and lies at the root of serious life threatening conditions such as heart disease.
  • The Truth Behind Having Children
    Children are not so much a "right" as a responsibility. With children no longer needed to help "run the farm," having children today requires a new kind of awareness and commitment.
  • Cancer - The Missing Point
    In spite of billions spent on research, cancer continues to grow as a threat to health and life. Pharmaceutical companies and other special interests groom data to give the impression of progress. In the end, the answer lies in our hands with simple lifestyle changes.
  • Medical Testing: Health By The Numbers Doesn't Work
    It is assumed that medical testing is prudent and wise preventive medicine. But medical tests are in themselves dangerous and can also mislead people into thinking diagnosis is the same thing as cure.
  • How the sun is absolutely crucial to your health
    The sun is not our enemy in spite of medical paranoia. Vitamin D from fish oil or synthesized in the skin when exposed to the sun not only prevents cancer but many other diseases as well.
  • Self Determination – Making The Most Out Of You
    Modern society makes growing up difficult. Dependence on the commercial world traps us as mindless consumers. Health and happiness require that we break the chains and become more self-determined and -sufficient.
