Fertility is a big issue today. Environmental insults cause lots of problems with the entire reproductive system. Men suffer from oxidative damage to testes that alters spermatogenesis as well as testosterone production. In this study linked below, ginger (Zingiber officinale) has been shown to protect our little buddies from a significant oxidative assault. We use lots of ginger in our home. As a spice, tea, in salad dressings, Kombucha and protein shakes (don't laugh it tastes good). . As the study points out ginger is also a mild androgen receptor activator. I’m not totally sure how I feel about this though. What I’ve learned about phytoestrogens that’s probably true of phytoandrogens is that they selectively activate parts of the receptor mosaic while not having any effect on others. If it were a pharma drugs we would call ginger a Selective Androgen Receptor Modulator. Everyone’s all gaga about SARM’s but me, not...

How have you been feeling lately?  Great? Sluggish?  Experiencing chronic forgetfulness?  Not recovering from your workouts like you used to?  These are all questions that can be answered.  How you ask?  Well, let me ask you, when was the last time you had your blood tested?  We all take supplements to stay healthy and to ward off aging.  We also exercise to keep our heart healthy among many other reasons.   Is what you’re doing working?  Of course, we can monitor our symptoms but why not use every tool that is available?  Having blood work done can yield surprising insights into your health and well-being.  It can also highlight potential problems allowing you to make informed decisions about your course of action.  I recently had my blood work done. My doctor and I have discussed my lifestyle so luckily he knows what to include when writing out the prescription for my blood...

You tell me. See any linkage? The USA is racing to the bottom of the longevity scale while our pharmaceutical drug use is more than any other developed nation and increasing. At best, the Big Pharma Agenda isn’t working and at worst it’s fueling shorter life spans. Either way, the medical orthodoxy needs to stop using the “we’re living longer” excuse for why so many American’s are sick and dying. If that was true we’d be living to 120 year old by now as we’ve always been able to live into the 7th, 8th and 9th decade of life well before Big Pharma started saving us. Don't believe me? Go visit any historic cemetery in America and you find plenty of headstones that show people who regularly lived to be 80 or 90 dating back to the 1700’s and 1800’s.
