  • 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.
  • Are Drug Companies Destroying The U.S. Health Care System?
    Pharmaceutical sales are skyrocketing while the health of Americans declines. The problem is philosophical in that drugs do not cure and patients are looking for quick fixes.
  • Are Things Hopeless?
    The world may seem to be crumbling around us but there is hope. That hope resides in the incredible power of each of us individually. What we think and what we do can almost magically transform society.
  • 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.
  • Biophilia
    Our love for nature is termed biophilia. When we connect with unspoiled nature we connect with our origins and our link to happiness and health.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Conscience
    Conscience is not something that is trained into us. It is an innate potential that each of us has the responsibility to tune to, not a skill that is learned by others imposing their will upon us.
  • Crime and Punishment
    It is clear that our penal system neither effectively deters nor rehabilitates. It is, however, a tremendous drain on society. There is a better way that would serve as a deterrent, teach criminals something and benefit, not burden society.
  • Decency
    In our age of freedoms it becomes ever harder to draw lines. But if standards are not adhered to society is threatened by a moral meltdown. We must realize that freedom is relative and only possible if there are rules.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Experience
    Although experience is the best teacher in life, the wise are able to learn from other's mistakes and greatly accelerate their progress.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Fish Oil
    Omega-3 fatty acids from fish oils and other natural sources provide many health benefits. The predominance of grains in modern diets has shifted the fatty acid balance and contributed to many modern degenerative diseases.
  • Fish Out Of Water
    It is natural to assume that our modern world is natural and normal. But on the scale of time, humans today are dramatically out of their proper genetic context. We are like fish out of water.
  • 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.
  • Growing Good People
    Beginning in the womb, humans are imprinted with important environmental signals that influence development. Although the majority of human mental potential is lost in the early years of development, what remains can escape modern perversions and be nurtured toward good.
  • Health And The Economy
    Economics is vitally linked to health and the advance of modern society. In the emerging world economy, the "have nots" will enjoy a rise in standard of living while the "haves" will suffer a decline. Western society's only hope is to return to an ethic of hard work.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Is Common Sense or Research Needed to Cure Cancer?
    It is assumed that cancer will be vanquished by the march of science and research. But the evidence shows that modernity is the cause, not the cure. The cancer answer lies within everyone's grasp right now.
  • 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.
  • Keeping A Distance From Religion
    Good logic and science require that questions be faced with an open and receptive mind. Yet the notions of creation and a greater intelligence than ours are rejected a priori by materialists not because of the weight of evidence but because of rejection of religion.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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 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 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • New foot in the sand technology can solve many health problems
    The foot is intended to be bare and on the ground. Modern shoes entomb feet and create a host of foot ailments. A new insole with "foot in the sand" technology revolutionizes foot comfort, alleviates pain and enhances athletic performance.
  • Playing the Health Odds
    The body has a capacity for resiliency and adaptation permitting us to have the measure of health we do. But there is a limit to that reserve. Wrong life choices will eventually take their inevitable toll.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Rationale for Whole Protein Shake™
    The perfect supplement and meal replacement for dieters, growing children, athletes, body builders, the ill and the elderly.
  • Regulatory Hooey “Protects” Us From Our Own Health
    The medical establishment and their regulatory arms, such as the FDA, would like to remove nutritional supplements from the market. They are a threat to pharmaceutical interests and the fact that science proves the benefits of supplements does not matter.
  • 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.
  • 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.
