Mold and their toxic metabolites, mycotoxins have become increasingly known as drivers of chronic illness. Studies have shown that mold and mycotoxins have increased as the main driver in a whole host of illnesses.
A Potential Breakthrough in Alzheimer's Disease
Exciting research shows a possible new treatment for Alzheimer's, ALS, Parkinson's and other neurological disorders. BMAA is a neurotoxin produced by blue-green algae which inserts itself into the amino acid chain replacing L-serine. Scientists have found supplementing with L-serine blocks the insertion of BMAA, stops protein misfolding, and prevents neuronal damage. In cases of ALS it slowed the progression of the disease by 85%.
Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS)
Dr. Cobb lays out a plausible case that Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) is a variety of scurvy, lack of vitamin C, and therefore derived from the porous condition of connective tissue in the lungs. He describes how connective tissue integrity is a nutritional concern addressed by inexpensive amounts of vitamin C, copper, zinc, sulfur and rutin.

The Medical Action of UV Light
How does it work? Ultraviolet Blood Irradiation, the UVC (Ultraviolet C wave length – 254 nm) light dismantles the virus or bacteria that you have in your blood. As a result, many viral and bacterial diseases respond to UBI therapy.
History and Medical Effects of UBI
Over 100 years ago, Faroese-Danish physician/researcher Niels Finsen found that ultraviolet light could effectively treat skin disorders. Learn what has happened with this technology since then.
The Cure that Time Forgot
In light of the antibiotic resistant super bugs like MRSA, it is almost criminal that Ultraviolet Blood Irradiation (UBI) therapy should not be considered as a common treatment.
Diabetes - A Wholistic Perspective on an American Epidemic
What are the types of diabetes? How can I learn more about causes and prevention? What can I do if I have a type of diabetes? Here is everything you need to know to answer all of these questions.
Galectin-3: Inflammation Marker
Galectin-3 is an essential protein that binds to sugars in order to respond to injuries and commence repair.
But, overproduction of galectin-3 is a biomarker for inflammation and is tied to chronic disease.
A small amount of elevated galectin-3 in the blood can triple your chances of dying from disease within 10 years. It’s important to arrest overproduction, as it drives the inflammatory process.
Do You Really Need That Surgery?
With many diagnoses, pressure to do something comes from a belief that action is preferable to inaction. But the reality is that the human body can heal and that all of our actions have unintended consequences. Thus, inaction can often be the preferred course.

The Power of Probiotics and Fecal Transplant
Thousands of patients have reported treatment success with fecal transplant not only for ulcerative colitis and C. difficile infections but also Crohn’s disease, irritable bowel syndrome, and other difficult conditions. Australian researchers, for example, reported that 70 percent of patients with chronic fatigue had a positive response. Now, thanks to the emergence of drug-resistant bacteria, antibiotics are losing their luster, and – despite the “ick factor” – fecal transplant is coming into its own.
Parkinson's Disease: What Works, What Doesn't
With the help of stem cells, hyperbaric oxygen, glutathione and life style changes, patients with Parkinson's can often slow disease progression, improve function, and enhance overall health.
Food Allergy
Food allergy or intolerance can produce any symptom under the sun: from migraines, fatigue, PMS, painful joints, itchy skin to depression, hyperactivity, hallucinations, obsessions and other psychiatric and neurological manifestations. However, the most immediate and common symptoms in the vast majority of patients are digestive problems: pain, diarrhea or constipation, urgency, bloating, or indigestion.
Doctors Warn: Avoid Genetically Engineered Foods
Why are thousands of physicians advising patients to avoid eating GMOs (Genetically Modified Organisms) and how did these high-risk foods get onto the market in the first place? The answers are disturbing, even shocking, but may help you get healthy and stay healthy.
Innovations in Nitric Oxide Diagnostics and Therapeutics
It is well-documented that the most prevalent cardiovascular, metabolic and cognitive disorders impacting healthcare are largely the result of the loss of available nitric oxide (NO) in the body. NO deficiency is the basis for endothelial dysfunction which underlies the development of these disorders that plague the population. Consequently, NO is considered the molecule that now offers the means for profoundly altering the disturbing trends in public health.
ABCs of GMOs
The ABCs of GMOs is a great start towards understanding genetic modification. For decades, agribusiness has heralded advances that later were found to be poisoning the masses. It may have started with Rachel Carson's exposure of the dangers of DDT in Silent Spring. From there, we have an unending list of chemical additives that the population has been subjected to, without any meaningful testing. Yet, the arrogance of mankind continues as we tinker with the genetic code. Together, it amounts to the American public being unknowing participants in the largest uncontrolled science experiment ever conducted.
Anti-Inflammatory Superfoods for Energy and Immunity
Most medications for pain and inflammation can be avoided by simply eating superfoods, herbs, exercising and developing a positive mindset on a daily basis.

Intermittent Fasting
Intermittent fasting allows your body 16 hours to optimize your metabolic machinery and your insulin and leptin signaling, thus, empowering your body's immune system. Dr. Joseph Mercola believes it has a profound impact on most cancers and heart disease and can be a useful approach to whatever strategy one is currently using to treat or prevent these diseases.
4G/LTE Mobile Internet and WiFi: Is it safe?
Many people are still unperturbed by the possible consequences of exposure to mobile phones, wireless networks and other radiation producing apparatuses. With the exception, of course, of those people who have acute complaints and are quite aware of their effects. That is, however, a small group. Ultimately no living being escapes the influence of unnatural radiation on the cell structures of the body.
Walking therapy and pneumatic compression: the natural cures for poor leg circulation
Walking has been shown to have many unexpected health benefits, such as improving cognitive function of the brain, maintaining bone density, alleviate symptoms of depression and improving fitness. But what if you cannot walk due to various health issues? Paul van Bemmelen, M.D., Ph.D., F.A.C.S., describes how simulation of walking, without the work of muscle-contraction or fall-risk, can be achieved with a non-invasive home treatment, which uses external squeezing of the leg muscles.
Using a Pneumatic Compression Device for Lower and Upper Extremity Peripheral Arterial Disease
Do you have leg or arm pain from poor circulation? Dr. Steven Kavros discusses research that shows the value of intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) in many areas of both upper and lower extremity vascular disease.
Autoimmune Thyroid
Statistics show that almost 80% of all hypothyroidism is actually the autoimmune disease of Hashimoto's. Often times Hashimoto's does not get diagnosed if the practitioner fails to run the proper antibody test. If the correct diagnosis is determined, then the treatment is actually for immune dysfunction more than thyroid dysfunction.

Cures for Chronic Pain
Chronic pain is one of the top – if not the top – complaints that most doctors hear about from patients. The good news is that the complementary medical community has a plethora of safe and natural therapies that work to alleviate pain. Dr. Susan Lark shares these with our readers.
Viva Modern Mayr Medicine, Maria Worth, Austria
Modern Mayr Medicine therapy at the clinic is based on the F. X. Mayr, M.D. (1875-1965) therapy for a healthy person. Dr. Mayr's work was about the link between digestion, intestinal health and overall health. According to Dr. Mayr, "The intestines are to man what the roots are to the plant. Only when these roots are kept in an optimal condition of nourishment and cleanliness, can the plant (man) itself thrive and remain healthy."
