The Promise of HIGH Satiety
Written by Michael T. Murray, ND
You are about to discover the key to effective and
lasting weight loss is not dieting or deprivation,
but rather eliminating excessive hunger
and increasing the feelings of pleasure and
satisfaction from food. The Hunger Free Forever
program provides a near effortless program for safe, effective,
and lifelong weight control that has evolved from major
scientific discoveries we have made in the field of appetite
regulation. Our discoveries have been effectively applied in
community weight-loss programs conducted over the past
few years on hundreds of people. This simple approach
allows you to reach and easily maintain your body weight
goals utilizing exciting new scientific breakthroughs to normalize
your appetite and consistently enjoy a high degree of
satiety from the food you eat.
Americans are obese due to over consumption of junk foods and sugar. Sugar has been called Sweet Poison and the Silent Killer for a good reason.
There are many health risks attached to sugar. These have been published in medical journals and include:
Casualties of Progress
Written by Gloria Gilbère, DAHom, PhD
Did you know we intake over 150 chemicals, carcinogens
and toxins each day? Chemicals invade
every aspect of our modern lifestyles from well-known
toxins to newer compounds with unknown
long-term effects. They build in our bodies and
store within the soft and connective tissues, fat cells, and organs
of detoxification; kidneys, liver, and lymphatic system.
Did you know over 95 percent of shoppers purchase food
with ingredients known to cause cancer?
Ah, it was so simple
back in 1941. That’s
when the first RDA’s
(Recommended Daily
Allowances) for vitamins came out.
Clear little easy-to-understand numbers
that let you know how much of a vitamin
you needed to prevent a deficiency
disease (like rickets or beri-beri). It was
the vitamin equivalent of having three
television stations to choose from. I
like to call it the RDA’s “Minimum Wage
Nutrition.”
A Vitamin REVOLUTION
Written by Kathleen Barnes
We’ve come a long way from the days when sailors lost
teeth, hair and sometimes their lives on long ocean
voyages where fresh fruits and vegetables were impossible
to obtain. It took centuries for scientists to confirm
the problem was nutritional. The accidental discovery that a
daily ration of lime juice (from which derived the nickname for
British sailors, “Limeys”) would cure the symptoms of scurvy in
short order, was of course, the beginning of humankind’s consciousness
that we need vitamin C to survive and to thrive.
The ORANGE is for More Than Juice: DIOSMIN Protects the Veins and Beyond
Written by Dallas Clouatre, PhD
It is easy to overlook the health benefits
of common foods, especially if, as is
true of the orange and other citrus
fruits, we typically consume only the
juice. Yet components found in the
pulp and peel of citrus fruits long have
been known to offer a variety of health
benefits. More interesting still is the
fact that one or more compounds
found in citrus rinds can be turned into even
more potent health protectors with a little help
from science. Diosmin is a good example of
a health protective substance already found
in nature that today is produced by taking the
common citrus flavonoid hesperidin and converting
it to an even more potent compound.
As a result, diosmin is available as a supplement
to provide benefits against a variety of ailments.
Common to most of these complaints
is the fact they involve poor circulation and the
veins.
HELP for DIGESTIVE PROBLEMS
Written by Jennifer Morganti, ND
Digestive problems remain a prevalent medical issue
in America. So prevalent, in fact, if you don’t
have a problem yourself, you’re likely to know
people who do. Gastrointestinal (GI) problems
continue to be the number one complaint that
drives patients to the doctor. Over 14 million people have
peptic ulcers and over 25 million Americans will be diagnosed
with an ulcer sometime in their lifetime.1 Despite these huge
numbers, the incidence of ulcers are dwarfed by the number of
people experiencing other digestive issues such as heartburn,
irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), bacterial infections and reflux
disorder. Medical statistics indicate 56 million Americans report
acid reflux, 60 million have heartburn, 76 million report
food borne illnesses and 80 million experience IBS.2 It’s becoming
increasingly necessary to utilize nutritional support for
the mucosal lining in the stomach and small intestines to help
reduce the risk of these digestive issues.
In the past couple of years, oral forms of hyaluronic acid have become available. Oral HA is a nonprescription product that’s sold as a dietary supplement. The benefits of an oral formulation compared to injections are obvious: lower cost, no pain, lower risk, and improved convenience. The positive results for patients have vaulted this product into the limelight.
The number one cause of disability in America isn’t heart disease or diabetes—it’s arthritis. According to statistics from the federal Centers for Disease Control (CDC), one in three adults is now affected by an arthritis-related condition.
Today, more than ever before, our
bodies are bombarded by chemicals,
environmental pollutants,
nasty bacteria, and parasites. These toxins
can spread far beyond the digestive tract
and, in some cases, turn deadly. Even the
produce aisle, where fruits and veggies
had always been a safe haven for health-conscious
and calorie-concerned
consumers, is getting scary. You
know what I mean because practically every day, we see headlines like these:
A few weeks ago, I shared my general concepts of
Green Medicine involving three components: the
use of dietary, nutritional and natural substances
(what I call our personal green), living in a clean
home and office (our local green) and working to
keep the greater world in which we all must live clean for the
health of us all (our global green). In this article I take a look at
asthma—a specific, epidemic and potentially dangerous problem,
particularly as the disease occurs in children, the most
vulnerable of us all, and walk you though my “Green Medicine”
approach to this disease.
