2007 Natural Health Newsletters

The Compounding Demographics Of Health Care - 12/17/2007
How can any health-care system survive up to half its population living for 20--30 years with severe diabetes (as predicted by the CDC), let alone the other half suffering from cancer, heart disease, osteoporosis, Alzheimer's disease, and MS? There isn't enough money in the world to cover it.
To Sleep Perchance To Dream - 12/03/2007
Recent research has discovered that lack of sleep can more than double your risk of death from cardiovascular disease. It also shows that people who sleep 8 hours or more are also more than twice as likely to die, but from non-cardiovascular diseases. Both too little and too much sleep are unhealthy.
The Whole Grain And Nothing But The Grain, Part 2 - 11/19/2007
Last issue we covered all of the positive studies on whole grains that indicate that they may help prevent heart disease, cancer, and diabetes. But, as I indicated at that time, these conclusions are a bit too simplistic. In this issue, we'll dig deeper than the studies and the mainstream press did.
The Whole Grain And Nothing But The Grain, Part 1 - 11/05/2007
Are whole grains really better? There's more to the story than meets the eye. Unfortunately, all of the studies so far focus on single issues such as "whole grains and cancer" or "whole grains and heart disease." Where are the studies that focus on "whole grains and overall health?" The results might surprise.
The Stevia Shibbotleth - 10/08/2007
As long as government regulators in the US, Europe, and Canada approve aspartame, sucralose, and high fructose corn syrup as alternative sweeteners and refuse to allow stevia to be used, they will have no credibility among thinking people.
Supplements From Preconception On Up - 09/23/2007
There is a selective role for natural supplements of all kinds as you move through the pregnancy process -- preparing to get pregnant, getting pregnant, while pregnant, while breastfeeding, for infants, and for children up to about the age of 14.
Blood of My Ancestors - 09/10/2007
In this issue of the newsletter, we wrap up our series on the cardiovascular system as we explore blood types and blood tests.
Blood, It's Thicker Than Water - 08/27/2007
In this issue, we examine the composition of blood and how that determines its functionality.
Blood Of My Blood - 08/13/2007
You might think that it makes sense to first explore what blood is made of before we explore what it does, but, in fact, the opposite is true. By first understanding the roles blood plays in our bodies, it's much easier to understand "why" blood is made the way it is.
Got Milk? - 07/30/2007
According to the results of the study conducted out of the University of Cardiff in the UK and as promoted in media throughout the world, drinking a pint of milk a day may protect men against diabetes and heart disease. As if!
Arteries and Veins - 07/16/2007
If you have high blood pressure, blood clots, or atherosclerosis, it's imperative that you fully understand how that happened, the physiological consequences of any medical treatments, and any viable alternatives that might be available to you.
Secrets of the Heart - 07/02/2007
How your doctor unravels the secrets of your heart when you visit his/her office. A basic understanding of heart diagnostics so you are not totally at the mercy of the medical mystique when the results of your next physical are pronounced.
Heart Problems - 06/18/2007
In the last newsletter, we worked through the anatomy of the heart. We now explore those things that can wrong with the heart, the medical treatments commonly used to handle those conditions, and what you can do to change the equation.
The Anatomy of the Heart - 06/04/2007
By looking at the basic anatomy and physiology of the heart from a doctor's perspective, we gain a unique privilege. We get to evaluate that perspective. Once we understand the underlying basis of medical treatments used to correct heart problems, we can make informed decisions as to which of those treatments and medications actually make sense for us...and, more importantly, what alternatives might actually work better. So with that in mind, let's take a look at the human heart.
Making Sense Of Weight Loss - 05/21/2007
The answer to weight control comes down to two key points (points quite familiar to anyone who has read Lessons from the Miracle Doctors). (1) Don't look for magic bullets. (2) Do everything, and do it all at once. We're talking lifestyle change, not just diet change
Systemic Pain Relief - 05/07/2007
Back in 2005, Jon Barron developed a bestselling formula which incorporated some extraordinary new research on natural pain relievers. In this issue, Jon tells the story of how and why he modified that formula
Antidepressants Revisited - 04/23/2007
Prescription antidepressants should not be the first thing you reach for when you're depressed. They are definitely an option, but they should be your last choice, when nothing else works.
Baseline of Health® - Part 2 - 04/09/2007
The only way that healthcare can survive -- the only way you can survive -- is if you take back control of your health and start doing those things that allow your body to stay health. In other words, the only way to save healthcare is to stop using it and return to the Baseline of Health®.
Baseline of Health ® - Part 1 - 03/26/2007
The Baseline of Health® program can actually eliminate the causes of many diseases -- even if we don't know exactly what those causes are!
Stomach Acid - 03/12/2007
Everything you want to know about stomach acid -- stomach acid and digestion, too much stomach acid, too little stomach acid, stomach acid and proteolytic enzymes, and stomach acid and probiotics.
The Need for Exercise - 02/26/2007
It's not my purpose in this newsletter to teach you how to exercise -- there are many books, DVDs, and websites that teach you how to do that -- but rather, to explain to you why you need to exercise and why you need to commit to multiple forms of exercise.
MS and the Baseline of Health ® Program - 02/12/2007
Multiple sclerosis is one of those diseases that responds extraordinarily well to the Baseline of Health® program, but it is not unique.
Diabetes - The Echo Effect - 01/29/2007
Diabetes follows multiple, mutually reinforcing paths -- an echo effect if you will, with each echo reinforcing and amplifying all the other echoes, or "effects".
Liver Detox & Essential Relief Testimonials - 01/15/2007
Testimonials from 5th Worldwide Liver Detox and Today's Health and Wellness test of Essential Relief™
Obesity and Probiotics - 01/01/2007
According to a study published in Nature, when it comes to losing weight, the bacteria that we used to call "good" (L. acidophilus, L. salvarius, L. bulgaricus, L. plantarum, etc) are "bad." And bacteria that we used to think of as "bad" are now "good".
