  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Why Child Bearing Is Healthy
    Although bearing children may be a choice of convenience, it is also a choice that has health consequences. Not having children puts women at disease risk, while unbridled reproduction restricts life choices and puts population pressure on society and the environment. Nature holds the answers.
  • 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.
  • 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
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • The Pet Food Ingredient Game
    Pet food slogans such as organic, human grade, holistic and natural may increase sales, but miss the point. If pet health is the objective, a totally new approach is needed.
  • 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.
  • The Myth of 100% Complete Pet Food
    Every day people subject their loved animals to repetitious monotony that they would never allow for themselves, and yet, unthinkingly pass their actions off as beneficial for their pets.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • The Case AGAINST Raw Frozen Pet Foods
    Although raw foods have many nutritional merits for pets, they are not without their dangers. Questionable suppliers, formulations, ingredients and the danger of food-borne pathogens must be considered.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Rationale for Whole Protein Shake™
    The perfect supplement and meal replacement for dieters, growing children, athletes, body builders, the ill and the elderly.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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 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.
  • 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.
  • 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 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
