Toxins are a major contributor to most chronic diseases. In history, there is the example of Mad Hatters Disease caused by mercury, and the fall of the Roman Empire has been attributed to lead poisoning. In 2010 there were 80,000 chemicals on the market. Very few of these were tested for safety. The exposure to toxins starts at an early age. Babies have been found with up to 200 chemicals in them before birth. Each year 6.5 billion pounds of chemicals are dumped into the air. These toxins have a...

Dr. Raji discusses the leading edge of quantitative neuroimaging volumetrics - the measurement of brain volumes from magnetic resonance images. Volume is a vital sign for the brain. When volumes are normal, this correlates to normal neuronal function. Reduction of brain volumes is seen with various neuropsychiatric disorders such as Alzheimer's disease, depression, and traumatic brain injury. What Dr. Raji's research has shown over the past 10 years is that brain volumes can actually change in r...

Dr. Lustig, a pioneer in studying the adverse health effects of sugar and high fructose corn syrup, describes how Big Business uses the science of addiction to keep us hooked to unhealthy foods. The result is that our health suffers. He discusses how marketing and the media subvert brain physiology to their advantage to veer us from the pursuit of happiness to the pursuit of pleasure (which means profit)

Chronic pain affects over 100 million US adults and 20 percent of children worldwide. Each year, Americans spend billions of dollar on medications, surgery and therapies in a quest to find relief - often leading to more suffering and hopelessness. Chronic pain is complex. It changes brain chemistry and can cause a loss of grey matter. Women and men process pain in different parts of the brain and consequently experience pain differently. Dr. Christo explains the complex nature of pain and provid...

Chris' new book, Unconventional Medicine. The world is facing the greatest healthcare crisis it has ever seen. Chronic disease is shortening our lifespan, destroying our quality of life, bankrupting governments, and threatening the health of future generations. Sadly, conventional medicine, with its focus on managing symptoms, has failed to address this challenge. The result is burned-out physicians, a sicker population, and a broken healthcare system. Chris Kresser, as detailed in his new book ...

Based on the mounting evidence supporting the benefits of ketogenic diet therapies, Dr. Kalamian gives information and guidance on how the ketogenic diet fits into the new paradigm of metabolic therapies for cancer. She is driven by her passion from her own positive experience in using the ketogenic diet for her young son (who had cancer), Beyond starving cancer cells, she describes the impact that the diet has on the metabolism of cancer cells. More importantly, she discusses the nuts and bolts...

Diabetes is a world wide epidemic affecting an estimated 422 million people. In the United States, one in three Americans is either diabetic or prediabetic costing an annual $242 billion in medical treatments. Dr. Morstein describes how people with both type 1 and type 2 diabetes, can gain and maintain excellent control of blood sugar levels while living full, active, enjoyable lives. Her goal is to empower readers to take control of and manage this challenging condition. She discusses her compr...

Fibromyalgia affects many people and is often confused with other medical conditions. As it is often misdiagnosed, it often does not get appropriate treatment leading to the frustration of fibromyalgia patients. Dr. Brady discusses his multi-prong approach to finding the underlying causes and comorbid conditions. He addresses toxins and detoxification: the role of gut health, mitochondrial dysfunction, thyroid health, diet, mood, sleep, stress, and stress reduction.

Dr. Smith will discuss allergies and the many contributing factors. She will discuss the contributing factors and underlying triggers. The role of diet, the microbiome, theenvironment and toxins will be addressed. Also covered will be food intolerances, allergic sinusitis, asthma, skin conditions, and steps we can take to reduce the adverse effects of these conditions.

The phytobiome, the environment including soil organisms and its link to plants, is a new area of research. The phytobiome has indirect and direct connections to gut health, a healthy microbiome, and over all health. Soil organisms have an impact on human gut microbes which are essential for human health. With current farming practices, the soil nutrients have been depleted leading to less nutritious food. Dr. Ash discusses how a healthy phytobiome affects health and how healthy fertilizers can ...

With today's era of rampant food allergies, gluten free popularity and the rise of paleo eating, putting together a meal that will satisfy eveyone is easier said than done. Dianna describes how to do this to please everyone at the table. Lean how to turn some of our greatest comfort foods into healthy, paleo delicious treats.

Electromagnetic fields are one of the many environmental toxins that adversely affect our health. It affects all of us to varying degrees. It leads to mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress, DNA damage, immune disturbances and both a leaky gut and leaky blood brain barrier. Research studies showed that cell phones and cordless phones increase the risk of the brain tumours - gliomas and acoustic neuromas. A pregnant mother's use of cell phones can change the brain structure of the offspring ...

David Wood posits that there is a 50 % chance that, by the year 2040, rejuvenation therapies will be widely available that will allow all of us to remain youthful indefinitely. As the results of ten years of research and his commitment to futurist and technoprogressive topics, David Wood discusses the possibility of a radical extension of human longevity and the reversal of the aging process. He discussed the technical feasibility of the abolition of aging as well as the clash of paradigms: acce...

Every year, 12 million Americans have negative reactions to the food they eat – of which, 30,000 of them will have to see medical attention some reactions are food ALLERGIES like nut or fish allergies and they are pretty easy to diagnose. Food SENSITIVITIES, on the other hand, are much more complicated and often go undiagnosed. Food sensitivities can lead to chronic conditions such as migraines, eczema, arthritis, obesity, weight gain, Crohn’s disease and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), depressi...

Occult infections are risk factors for various diseases including heart disease and autoimmune disease. Bacterial, viral and parasite infections may be major contributors to autoimmune disease. In this program you will learn how to identify occult infections, to identify which infections are feeling autoimmune diseases and how to minimise the adverse effects of these infections.

The global burden of dementia is staggering—it is a trillion dollar problem—and it is growing. Of the currently living Americans, about 45 million will die with Alzheimer’s disease (about 15% of the population). 75 million have the important genetic risk factor, ApoE4. Cognitive decline associated with Alzheimer’s disease and its precursors (MCI and SCI) can be prevented and reversed. The optimal approach for complex chronic illnesses such as Alzheimer’s disease is not a mono therapy but a perso...

Each human being has unique biochemistry which results in diverse nutritional needs. Individuals may be deficient in certain nutrients and overloaded in others. Advances in epigenetic science have sealed the powerful impact of nutrients on gene expression and have enabled improved treatment for mental disorders. Neurotransmitters, which are instrumental in mental disorders, appear to be epigenetic in absorption , metabolism and storage of key nutrients. For example we now understand that methion...

Most experts say that diet and gut health (the micro biome) are essential to health. How do we insure that our gut is healthy? Jeannette Hyde in her recent book, The Gut Makeover, lays out the easy steps to get the listener on the road to gut health. Jeannette discussed her book and shares the results of her research on diet and its connection to health.

We have learned a lot about nutrition for humans and the importance of organic non processed foods. Is it any different for our four legged friends? Why give real food to dogs when you can always open a bag or can? The reason is dogs are real live beings and they need real food. We would never think of only feeding our children out of a bag or a can for the rest of their life.. and certainly not the same foods day in and day out. It’s just common sense. Dogs have lived with humans for at least 4...

ADHD in increasing in our society. It is not a disease, a behavioural disorder or a discipline problem. It is a medical disorder in which genetic, neurological, nutritional & environmental factors imbalance the brain causing imbalanced behaviour. The current conventional treatment are medications and behavioural therapy. In his book Finally Focused, Dr Greenblatt clearly describes a sip-by-stp approach to minimise symptoms and unleashes potential.

Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM) is changing the way physicians and patients think about treatment options for pain and many other medical conditions. Exciting data and 20 years of clinical evidence show how frequencies and resonance can be used instead of medications, nutrients and chemical interactions to change tissues and symptoms. The new book, The Resonance Effect, describes how FSM was discovered and developed, how it's changing medicine and how you can use resonance to change lives,...

If you find the unwanted weeds growing in your back yard annoying, you may be missing out on a free lunch. These pesky weeds may contain more nutrition that you will find at the grocery store. These unwanted intruders are rich in antioxidants, vitamins and protein . Beryl will explain the healing properties of common weeds and how you can make tinctures, soups and meals with the weeds in your back yard.

Although it purports to be based on solid science and the open flow of information on which science depends, the massive venture to reconfigure the genetic core of the world’s food supply has substantially relied on the propagation of falsehoods. Its advancement and very survival have been crucially and chronically dependent on the misrepresentation of reality — to the extent that more than thirty years after the creation of the first genetically engineered plant, the vast majority of people the...

Dr. Steve Blake designed and helped implement the Hawaii Dementia Prevention Trial, a clinical study at the Hawaii Alzheimer's Disease Center. His study found that changes in nutrition could affect the progression of Alzheimer’s disease. Parkinson’s disease is also powerfully affected by diet. Reducing protein to just the needed amount can allow much better production of dopamine with the potential to cut symptoms in half. With migraines, avoiding dietary triggers can help reduce the frequency a...
