Why is it that older people are much more prone to dying from viral infections than the young? One reason is that statistically, older people are more likely to have chronic diseases that impair the immune system. They are also more likely to be on immune-suppressive drugs.

But many older...

“Modern science” is confirming what Vermont “Folk Medicine” knew in the mid-1950s and very likely before: vinegar is good for our health! Vinegar reduces obesity, improves blood sugar and insulin response (lower numbers for both) to carbohydrate, and most importantly, vinegar very likely increases longevity and improves health at the same time!

Deuterium, although a hydrogen isotope, is something altogether “different” both biochemically and biophysically, being twice the mass. It was discovered in 1932. More recently the many health benefits of drinking deuterium depleted water have been uncovered. When the Hunza people of northern Pakistan were investigated for their increased longevity and lack of illness it was determined that the deuterium content of their water, from the glaciers of Mt. Ultar, was about 133 ppm, a deviation of 16% from the 155 ppm global standard.

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 term leaky gut syndrome identifies an increasingly pervasive health disorder in which the lining of the small intestine is more permeable than it should be and becomes subject to inflammation by various irritants. Mother Nature’s gift of colostrum was designed to prevent infections originating in the bowel, to close the leaky gut, and to prevent opportunistic infections from taking over and causing or exacerbating leaky gut syndrome.
