To me a superfood is one that supplies you with every needed nutrient required to sustain life and not suffer a nutrient deficiency that shortens one’s life or causes debilitating physical condition. A superfood is one that as its name implies, of all foods, it is the highest in all the macronutrients and micronutrients required to actually thrive. A food source that if it were the ONLY food available to you, you would not suffer for, but instead rejoice in your good fortune for having such a food readily available. If you search the internet for superfoods you’ll find a virtual cornucopia of foods whose authors’ claim as superfoods. Most are fruits, veggies and grains. A few mention quietly dairy which in my humble opinion is in fact a superfood. But most stay clear of dairy because as of late dairy has become a “bad actor” in the “what’s healthy now”...

I lost my sister Valerie to PD several years ago. I still maintain that she was misdiagnosed and thus mistreated. I do acknowledge that she had a neuro-muscular disorder, but being treated with dopamine agonists burned out her brain. She did not have any tremor at the onset of the disease. Only symptoms she had was weakness in her right leg and depression. Yet she was diagnosed with PD and drugs to treat PD were prescribed. Over the next 4 years she developed tremor as a result of the drugs. Self-fulfilling diagnosis. This study links changes in the gut and links it to the vegus nerve. The vegus nerve is the main wiring harness of the human body. It connects and innervates every organ system. It also runs along the outer wall of the stomach. It effects digestion directly. It’s also susceptible to the contents of the gut that may leak...

American Society of Clinical Oncology Perspective:“In addition to improved survival, high vitamin D levels were associated with a longer time for the cancer to become resistant to chemotherapy, suggesting that vitamin D could slow down the growth of the cancer or enhance the activity of the treatment,” said Smitha S. Krishnamurthi, MD, moderator of today’s presscast and ASCO expert. “Further studies are needed to determine if the improved survival is due to the vitamin D itself or to some other factor associated with having high vitamin D levels.” ALEXANDRIA, Va. – A prospective analysis of data from a phase III study of patients newly diagnosed with metastatic colorectal cancer indicates that patients with higher vitamin D levels have better outcomes after treatment with chemotherapy and targeted therapy. The median overall survival for patients with the highest vitamin D levels was 32.6 months, compared with 24.5 months for patients with the lowest...

If you check the label of any “energy” product today you will find fairly high to overly excessive doses of vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine).  Companies like 5 Hour Energy and even the new Starbucks Energy drinks not only carry high caffeine but also a couple B vitamins always including B6. Most of these Energy product carry anywhere from 200% to 2000% of the RDA of B6. B6 is thought to contribute to energy production through three distinct pathways. It is required for protein metabolism, it helps to regulate the oxygen-carrying effects of hemoglobin and it helps to convert various nutrients into blood sugar thus playing a role in metabolic flexibility. In nature B6 doesn’t occur alone but along with 7 other B vitamins that are called the B Complex. B6 is found in a wide variety of foods including vegetable, meats, fish, nuts and fruits. And while its ubiquitous in our food...

We can’t fix healthcare without first addressing “why” so many American’s are sick and unhealthy today. If we don’t address that, we will run out of money trying to keep a growing sick population alive no matter how great the new healthcare plan is. The same is true if we just keep the AHA. We can not outrun this problem and throwing more money at it won't solve it either. The hard work is going to be dismantling the industries that are at the root of the epidemic of illness today. The short list is:  - Chemical Manufacturers  - Food Manufacturers   - Big Ag  - Big Pharma  - The Medical Orthodoxy  - The Main Stream Media Each of these industries has a hand in the outright poisoning of our food supply and the prescribed use of drugs whose side effects are worse than the diseases they treat and the misinformation that makes...
