  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Why Modern Medicine is the Greatest Threat to Health
    It is assumed that America has the most advanced and beneficial health care system in the world. In actual fact, the greatest single risk to life is medical intervention. Adverse drug reactions and medical errors in hospitals and doctors offices kills more than 500,000 people each year. Although this data comes right out of the medical literature, it is a reality nobody wants to face.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
