With increasing rates of obesity, diabetes, and eating disorders, I found her suggestions both heartfelt and made common sense that can sometimes be forgotten in our day-to-day hectic lives: ~Food, especially unhealthful food, shouldn't be used as a reward.

Cranberry Juice is commonly known to help with decreasing the frequency and/or severity of Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) and other urinary troubles including kidney stones. One of the chief causes of UTIs is the presence of the bacterium E. coli which adheres to the cell walls of the bladder and urinary tract, thus causing an infection. Cranberry Juice keeps bacteria from sticking to the walls, thus decreasing the likelihood that an infection will result. It also increases the pH of the urine; bacteria that cause UTIs have trouble growing in an acidic environment.

A person’s breath, urine, feces and sweat can all smell like the vegetable they had eaten. Because of their wonderful ability to permeate every corner of a person’s body, they also have the ability to make great changes within.

By definition, according to the Oxford Dictionary, rheumatism is “inflammation and pain in joints, muscles or fibrous tissue.” Arthritis is “painful inflammation and stiffness of joints.” The key difference here is that, although both affect joints, rheumatism also affects muscles and fibrous tissue (arthritis only affects joints). Most of the time people do not distinguish between the types of pain or the causes—they call it all “arthritis.” Is this important to know the difference? Yes.

Illness occurs in everyone—no one is immune, if you’ll pardon the expression. The way an illness expresses itself is through symptoms; symptoms are the way the body communicates when something is amiss. Too often, however, people see these symptoms as the disease itself, with the belief that removing the symptoms equals removing the disease. Unfortunately, that is not true. Look at anyone with a chronic disease whose symptoms are suppressed by medical or even natural means. Is the disease gone?

He show up at the most unexpected times, taught the lesson and vanished. Perhaps that is why scarce numbers actually bore witness.

“Addicted to the rapid weight loss, some woman are taking this new diet craze to dangerous extremes. Women who do these juice cleanses can, and do, die from heart problems.” This is the conclusion of Dr. Oz, based upon recently published studies. In a juice cleanse, you eat no food, just fruit or vegetable juices for a few days or weeks. The extreme low-calorie diet results in fast weight loss, but Dr. Oz said it’s mostly water weight and muscle mass — something you definitely don’t want, since muscle is what keeps your metabolism fired up.

Sick people are supposed to quarantine themselves to prevent transmission. Everyone else is supposed to get a vaccine.

What is this great crime that often causes an uproar? You spoke your speak. You spoke truth. In other words. . . . you are a Leader.

In 1994, with the discovery of leptin, the view of white adipose tissue was transformed from a warehouse whose primary role was the storage of extra calories into one of the most important endocrine organs in the human body. The explosion in leptin-related research, now involving over 16,000 studies, is a testament to the emerging reality that leptin regulates (as a top-level manager) almost everything in your body. In the past few years the leptin science has transformed our understanding of bone health and bone function.

If asked about types of water, I could probably name three. But there are 8 types of water with differing qualities. Artesian Water, aka artesian well water. Water from a well that taps a confined aquifer, which is a water-bearing underground layer of rock or sand, where the water level stands at some height above the top of the aquifer. Usually this source of water is lower than regular well water, sometimes from the second water layer beneath the surface.

Governments in the United States and Great Britain plan to use antiviral drugs as a first line of defense against the Swine Flu (along with experimental vaccines as they become available), especially in at risk groups such as young children. A new study by Oxford researchers published in the British Medical journal questions the wisdom of this advice and points out that the risks are likely to outweigh the very slight benefits. (See full study and related commentary).

There are many reasons for itching. Something is irritating your skin. It could be something you came in contact with or some waste product or toxin trying to work its way out of your body. There could be an infection in the skin. Many people itch when they get too stressed out or worn down. In response to such skin stressors your mast cells may release histamine (an irritant chemical), that magnifies the itching response. Maybe your immune system has gotten riled up, and IgE antibodies are locking in some sort of inflammatory skin problem that itches.

The ability of Western medicine to treat an epidemic of type II diabetes in America shows the gross incompetence of their collective profession. Granted, type II diabetes is a tough problem because it means the natural regulatory systems of the distribution and use of calories is broken. However, if doctors can’t help solve tough problems then what good are they? There is a tremendous amount of health care dollars at stake.

Researchers at the University of Michigan are the first to document a new leptin pathway in the brain – one related to the pleasure of eating. They found leptin receptors in a part of the hypothalamus gland that directly influences the production of dopamine, in turn influencing basic mechanism of human behavior behind the desire to acquire, pleasure, and the sense of reward.

Overweight people are routinely told to exercise more. However, a study in overweight adolescent girls shows that exercise increases free radical stress due to the inefficient utilization of extra oxygen during the exercise process. This means that exercise in the presence of a lack of antioxidants will increase tissue damage and consequent inflammation, resulting in a poor response to exercise that is unlikely to produce fitness or weight loss.

Groundbreaking research on a brain protein called kalirin is opening a new door for novel ways to address serious mental health disorders, addiction problems, as well as another angle on the prevention of Alzheimer’s disease. Within your brain is a dense network of information highways. Technically, these are called dendritic spines and they allow information to travel from one neuron to another. Without enough kalirin you cannot form and maintain dendritic spines in the proper way.

Twenty feet before the finish line and in the huge, boisterous crowd, I see a hand. Of course, I know that hand. The long fingers, ideal for playing the piano. It is the same hand that has comforted me when needed over the past 15 years. The same hand that provided a push or a soft touch is now waving frantically in a sea of hundreds, hoping I would see it. Instantly, I recognize it and move toward the barrier and am rewarded by a vision of the hand's owner. Lisa, complete with ever present smile is right there at the the finish line, the completion of my 9th Disney marathon.

Few feelings are better than knowing your work in a given area has made a contribution to others. I wanted to make a difference in the world of running and knew it would not happen via my legs. Fortunately, my career choice was an ideal vehicle. Twenty five years ago, I started incorporating nutrition into my practice -- vitamins, minerals, herbs and also trace minerals. The latter was rarely mentioned in the field of nutrition, mostly a side note. "Oh by the way. . .trace minerals should be used to. . . whenever you get around it to" was the pervading idea of the day.

The immune system is the body’s intricate regulatory system. Composed of cells, tissues, mediators and antibodies, it plays a role in destroying tumors, eliminating viruses, bacteria and other microbes, neutralizing toxins, and performing other defense functions. It has a memory system capable of recalling previous encounters with infectants and can mount a strong response upon re-challenge. For example, when you have had measles or chickenpox, your immune system “remembers” and eliminates the virus upon re-exposure without signs of the infection.

Raw Food. Perhaps a better name would be natural food. You’ve probably heard about Raw Food, also known as Living Foods and Natural Hygiene. All words, that when first heard, may denote some negative images.

It says ‘natural’ soap, but is it really? I owned a natural soap making business, made the soap right on the store’s premises. Often customers would come in and ask if the soap was natural like the Body Shop and Lush. We knew that the Body Shop and Lush soap was not natural, so I looked at their websites to see why people were thinking this. I discovered that they used a lot of terms that would lead one to think this was so. More specifically, they used the term “naturally inspired”, along with other terms such as ‘against animal testing’, and ‘protect our planet’.
