…possible. Due to complications from Lyme disease my immune system is delicate and doesn’t need any additional challenges. Additionally, I cannot justify injecting myself with toxic heavy metals after spending considerable time, effort and money detoxifying myself from a large heavy metal burden I acquired while in the military. My clients often ask what measures they can employ to reduce their chances of getting the flu should they not wish to receive the vaccine. The…
…one pound of fat contains 3500 calories. Seems simple, right? The problem with this theory is that it is based on simple math. The human body is a complex living machine that is far from simple. When you fill your car up with gasoline, do you always get the same number of miles per tank? Of course not! There are many variables to consider: tire pressure, quality of fuel, condition of engine components, air temperature,…
…most recent bite was this past December! Being too rushed to follow my own advice to take precautions, I was outside working without “protection”. Fortunately, I noticed the tick relatively quickly and removed it without incident. Now if Lyme Disease, Ehrlichia, Babesia, Bartonella and Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever are not enough, there is a new player on the field, the Powassan Virus. Recently I re-posted an article from NYUPSTATE.COM describing the CDC’s growing concern over the…
…positive effect on the prevention and treatment of cancer. Investigators have found that blueberries significantly inhibit the proliferation of breast, intestinal, gastric and prostate cancers. Oddly, the researchers found no correlation between blueberry’s antioxidant properties and cancer prevention indicating the presence of other cancer fighting compounds. One such compound, pterostilbene, is a powerful anti-inflammatory compound, high concentration of which is found in blueberries. Pterostilbene has been shown to induce apoptosis (pre-programmed cell death) in cancer…
…the prostate inflammation causes cell membranes to become more permeable and some PSA escapes into the bloodstream. A temporary rise in blood PSA levels is seen but returns to baseline as overall cell integrity is not compromised. In the case of prostate cancer malignant cells are secreting more PSA than normal cells. Over time, this higher intracellular PSA level begins to breakdown cell membranes. In this setting PSA (a proteolytic enzyme) actually begins to digest…
