Metabolism is more than calories in and out. The body is finely tuned like a symphony with many intricate parts. There are so many interconnected systems, that it is difficult to know where to start in the journey towards optimal health. Dr. LaValle simplifies this process with the Metabolic Code which simplifies this process both for clinicians and patients. Many clinicians are adopting the results of his research. Also discussed are the importance of sleep, the adverse effects of cortisol, the...

Functional Neurology looks at the underlying functioning of the nervous system. While allopathic neurology can diagnose gross pathology such as a stroke or traumatic brain injury: functional neurology can pinpoint functioning of specific parts of the brain. Such studies include studies with the eyes (saccades (rapid movements from point to point), pupil reflexes) and other neurological assessments. Brain imbalances can be identified long before the pathology points to a specific diagnosis. Once ...

Len discusses the applications of low energy photon therapy. This therapy increases circulation, releases nitric oxide, activates stem cells, stimulates collagen production, increases ATP energy production by 40 %, reduces inflammation, and increases lymphatic drainage. It also is anti-microbial (blue light), modulates the immune responses and reduces the excitability of nervous tissues. Len has found it helpful in treating dental problems, pain, soft tissue injuries, would healing, and heart di...

In the West, at age 85, the chances of having Alzheimer's Disease is fifty percent. Forgetting names and forgetting why we go into a room could be harbingers of future cognitive decline. As there is no magic pill to treat Alzheimer's Disease, prevention is important. Some scientists refer to Alzheimer's Disease as diabetes, type three. A Harvard Study in the New England Journal of Medicine in 2013 showed that elevated blood sugar correlated with the development of dementia. Diabetes increases th...

The gut is at the root of many diseases. A balanced, diverse microbiome (gut bacteria) is essential for health. Reduced microbiome diversity has been linked to increased gut permeability, autoimmune, metabolic and inflammatory diseases, diabetes (types 1 and 2), obesity, Alzheimer’s, MS, autism, colorectal cancer, inflammatory bowel disease. When the gut microbiota is altered or disrupted, it is referred to as “dysbiosis,” which results in the gut becoming inflamed and permeable (“leaky gut”). A...

Dr Friedlander discusses the best forms of protein, fats, carbohydrates, exercise and nutrients that support positive epigenetic factors and longevity. Proteins high in the amino acids proline, lysine, glycine and alanine have shown in studies to extend life span, support repair, wound healing, immune function, thyroid, bone density, skin and arteries. Reducing intake of inflammatory proteins such as tryptophan, methionine and cysteine (typically found in lean meats, chicken and whey protein) ex...

Dr. Ames will discuss his research on the role of vitamins and minerals in health and aging. Through his theory of triage, when nutrition is lacking, the body puts its resources into every day activities at the expense of DNA and damaged protein repair. Each junk food meal sacrifices protein and DNA repair which eventually leads to DNA damage and chronic diseases. Caloric restriction, mitochondria health and obesity are as well as vitamins and minerals that promote longevity will be discussed.

Homeopathy is a system of medicine created by Samuel Hahnemann in the 1700s is based on the concept of like cures like. It uses minute doses of natural substances that in a health person would produce symptoms of disease. It can be used in conjunction with all other healing modalities. It is used widely through out Europe and was common in the US until the 1900s. There were may US homeopathic medical schools including Boston university, the University of Michigan, Univ of Minnesota and the Univ ...

Biohacking is the approach of assessing body functioning and assessing the impact of life style choices. Steve Fowkes, an expert in biohacking, discusses how we can determine if our metabolism is fast or slow, the physical manifestations of the metabolism rate, and how we can hack / alter our metabolism rate. He discusses the body's pH as an important mechanism in health and its role in circadian rhythms. This goes beyond the message of alkalinize as it depends on the individual, the time of day...

Inflammation, oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, toxins, and immune dysfunction all contribute to chronic and acute illnesses. Ozone is a low cost therapy used and researched in many countries that addresses all these contributing factors. Ozone is a very powerful oxidant that human immunity system produces. It is the most powerful oxidizer and provides oxygen to the tissues. Included in its actions are: -eliminating viruses and bacteria in its path -stopping inflammation -riding the b...

In this book, Dr. Palanisamy blends the best of the modern scientific method with the time honored ancient healing system, Aruveda. His approach helps to understand a person’s biochemical individuality and develops a diet and lifestyle plan that is individualized for each person. He also discu...

Up to ten percent of the population has an autoimmune disease, and this percentage is increasing. Dr. Vojdani explains the cause of the increase in autoimmune disease. Environmental conditions contribute approximately seventy percent of autoimmune conditions. Genetics account for only thirty percent. This unrelenting process starts with environmental toxins. Every year, there are 2,500 new chemicals in 6 billion different products. These toxins accumulate in our bodies and bind to our tissues fo...

The United States faces a health care crisis today due to rapidly rising health care costs. Why does the US spend so much more on health care than any other country, with so little to show for it? Dr Seneff posits that the US population is being chronically poisoned by a toxic chemical, glyphosate, that is pervasive in the food supply. Glyphosate is the active ingredient in the herbicide, Roundup. Because the government falsely believes that glyphosate is nearly harmless to humans, they have bee...

One diet does not fit all. Each person may have unique food sensitivities that lead to inflammation and set off a long chain of adverse reactions leading to chronic illnesses. Foods need to be broken down for the body to use. When foods are not broken down and when the gut is permeable to allow undigested proteins into the blood stream, the body produces antibodies against the undigested protein that seep out of the gut. Through cross mimicry, these antibodies may also attack different parts of ...

Have you ever wondered what healing is like in Heaven? What would Jesus say about modern day healing? Tommy Rosa died, went to heaven, spoke to Jesus and came back to share his wisdom. However, one need not believe in Jesus to benefit from Tommy's experience. Other spiritual masters' names can be substituted as all religions have the same goal. Like a radio station, people choose the path with which they resonate. Tommy confirms that what a person faces in the after life is consistent with that ...

Does cell phone radiation cause a health risk? The answer is “yes” according to Devra Davis, PhD, MPH. Cell phone radiation has been classified as a possible class II carcinogen by the World Health Organization. Studies have shown a probable causal effect of electromagnetic fields on causing brain tumours such as glioblastoma and acoustic neuromas. Cell phones have also been associated with fertility problems and certain breast cancers. The Italian Supreme Court has determined that Innocente Mar...

There has been a lot of talk recently about gluten, but a gluten free diet is more than a fad. According to Dr. Tom O’Bryan, the human body cannot digest gluten and even a small amount of gluten will set off a cascade leading to intestinal inflammation and permeability, resulting in systemic inflammation and autoimmune reactions. This cascade towards a chronic illness goes unnoticed as there may be no symptoms. Like previous programs on heart health, diabetes and cognitive decline, the disease p...

Raymond Francis believes that aging is a mistake and with proper maintenance we can live to age one hundred. Fatigue, obesity, aches and pain are not a normal result of aging, but result from not allowing the body to perform its normal function of self repair. If we don't maintain our body, it will end up on a junk pile in disrepair. There are teenagers that have the biological age of forty due to unhealthy life styles choices. He further states that there is only one disease that is caused by e...

Toxins are every where. They are in our personal care products, cleaning products, sofas, carpets, clothes. Before a woman leaves the house she might have put on over one hundred toxic products. Most of these toxins have not been studied for their safety, and cause harm at doses lower than previously thought. They are synergistic causing greater harm when combined. Dr. Campbell points out that Canadians do not import certain US cheeses because of what the farmers feed the cows. Europe does not w...

Blood sugar stabilization is essential as each blood glucose spike and dip can cause brain damage. Diabetes increases the risk of heart disease and dementia four fold. Yet persons with normal blood glucose can have the same increased risks because the process towards diabetes starts long before it can be measured in the doctor's office. The risks for diabetes start when the fasting morning glucose levels are 81: the risk for heart disease starts when the the fasting glucose levels are 84. We can...

What does the gut have to do with brain health? Everything! David Perlmutter, MD, best selling author and expert on brain health, discusses how to keep the brain and cognitive abilities healthy. He will discuss the connection between gut health and brain health. A healthy intestinal microbiome is essential for a healthy brain as well as for over all health. Learn about life style choices leading to brain health such as diet, exercise, stress reduction. Learn about factors that lead to inflammati...

The risks for heart attacks are not what we thought. The cholesterol model is outdated and does not adequately assess who is at risk for cardiovascular disease. The present evaluation, diagnosis, prevention and treatment of heart disease does not adequately identify at risk populations. For example the risks for cardiovascular disease starts when the blood pressure goes above 110/70. Likewise the risk for cardiovascular disease (and diabetes) starts when the morning fasting blood sugar reaches 8...
