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...

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...
