Know Your Superstar Foods For Brain Health

 By Dr. Ann Kulze, M.D.


 "… the brain is perhaps the pickiest and most demanding when it comes to the foods and nutrients that suit it best. Below are my recommendations for a Brain Healthy diet."

Salmon: Salmon is exploding with the omega-3 fats that make up the majority of the solid structure of the brain and play a fundamental role in learning and cognition. In the brain, omega-3 fats, specifically DHA, are both the structural and functional “lynchpins” for learning. Wild Alaskan Salmon is my preferred choice which can frequently be found fresh and is always available canned or frozen. My kids love frozen salmon burgers from Costco!

Nuts: Nuts score a perfect 10 when it comes to brain-boosting performance. They are rich in several nutrients that play a key role in healthy brain function, including essential amino acids, vitamin E, a full spectrum of minerals, and B vitamins.

Improve Kidney and Urinary Tract Health with These Key Herbs

by Dr. David Jockers 

The kidneys are one of the most vital and under-appreciated organs in our body. Each day, they filter about 200 liters of blood, sifting out about two liters of waste and water that our body excretes as urine. Keeping your kidneys healthy and functioning at a high level is of utmost importance for a healthy life. Key herbs such as goldenrod, bearberry leaf, and stinging nettle leaf work together in a synergetic matter to improve kidney and urinary tract health.

The kidneys function to excrete toxins through the urine and balance out our electrolytes (sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, chloride, and phosphorous) and amino acid levels. It is especially important for the effective elimination of ammonia, which is highly toxic and destructive to brain tissue.

Essential Oils, The Missing Link in Today’s Medicine

 By Rae Anne Cariker, LMT


 "Oils derived from a first distillation, steam-distilled will be more therapeutic and potent than, for example, a second or third distillation from the same plant. High heat, high pressure, as well as contact with chemically reactive metals such as copper and aluminum break down the compounds in the oil making it inferior and less therapeutic."

History has uncovered that these treasured oils were used in religious rituals, the treatment of illness, and other physical and spiritual ceremonies.

Facts, Function & Diseases of the Nervous System

by Kim Ann Zimmermann

The "body's electrical wiring" is a complex collection of nerves and specialized cells known as neurons that transmit signals between different parts of the body. It is our nervous system.

Structurally, the nervous system has two components: the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system. According to the National Institutes of Health, the central nervous system is made up of the brain, spinal cord and nerves. The peripheral nervous system consists of sensory neurons, ganglia (clusters of neurons) and nerves that connect to one another and to the central nervous system.

"I Always Wanted To Be Somebody..."

Remember to Always Clearly Define Your Dreams, Goals and Desires. When you think it through to be more specific and write them down, your intentions are more of a reality. There is a different between "I want a 3 bedroom house" and "I want a 3 bedroom house with 2 baths on the beach in Laguna". Clearly define!

The Many Ways to Use Bentonite Clay For Health and Beauty

by Sue Woledge 

Bentonite Clay for Health and Beauty

While there is evidence to suggest that healing clays have been used by humans for healing and ritual since before the discovery of fire, both the growing interest in traditional and alternative medicines, along with the ability of modern-day humans to come up with more and more creative ways to use clays is causing an upsurge of interest in their application. A wide range of uses that range from clay toothpaste to cancer treatments means that healing clays such as bentonite clay are being realized by many as a useful addition to the first aid kit or medicine cabinet.

Cleanse Your Body of Toxins: How to Detox Your Body Naturally

Cleanse Your Body of Toxins: How to Detox Your Body Naturally  

Like all people, you need to cleanse your body of toxins periodically.  Every day, year after year, we are all exposed to various toxic contaminants - and they build up in our bodies.  The fact is that most people on the planet have never engaged in effective detoxification. 

Decades of poisonous elements accumulate and form a hard plaque in the walls of our intestines.  This plaque is a breeding ground for disease.  As your blood circulates around it, various toxins attached to it.  These toxins are then delivered throughout the body.  They lodge and hide in various locations – and they cause you to become sick.   

Learning how to detox your body naturally allows the filtration systems in your body to catch up on their work.  Your liver, kidneys, gallbladder and more become overburdened with work through the years.  They simply cannot keep up with filtering out all of the toxins that we come in contact with on a daily basis including: 
• Pesticides, steroids and preservatives in the foods that we have made available to us 
• Poisonous herbicides that coat the vegetables we buy 
• Trace elements of heavy metals that are found in our water supplies, in the ground and in the air we breathe 
• Various chemicals that we are exposed to through our lives  
• And so much more…  
You must cleanse your body of toxins! 

You see, unless you cleanse your body of these toxins periodically, you’re very likely to experience an array of unhealthy disorders including: 

• Premature aging  
• Acne, psoriasis and various other skin disorders  
• Chronic halitosis (bad breath) 
• Digestive problems including constipation, bloating and flatulence  
• Unnecessary pains and aches that never seem to go away  
• Body odor  
• And an entire selection of completely preventable diseases including various forms of cancer, diabetes, heart disease, obesity, chronic fatigue syndrome, kidney failure, liver failure and more.  


All of those symptoms are representative of the fact that your body is trying to expel the toxins from within it.  The lifestyles that we lead are not natural.  Industrialization and the prevalence of urbanization have taken us far away from the holistic, plant-based and physically active lifestyles of our pasts.  It is of vital importance to learn how to detox your body naturally.

ADULT BONE MARROW STEM CELLS CAN REPAIR HEART TISSUE

University at Buffalo researchers have demonstrated for the first time that injecting adult bone marrow stem cells into skeletal muscle can repair cardiac tissue, reversing heart failure.

Using an animal model, the researchers showed that this non-invasive procedure increased myocytes, or heart cells, by two-fold and reduced cardiac tissue injury by 60 percent.The therapy also improved function of the left ventricle, the primary pumping chamber of the heart, by 40 percent and reduced fibrosis, the hardening of the heart lining that impairs its ability to contract, by up to 50 percent.

"This work demonstrates a novel non-invasive mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) therapeutic
regimen for heart failure based on an intramuscular delivery route," said Techung Lee, Ph.D., UB associate professor of biochemistry and senior author on the paper. Mesenchymal stem cells are found in the bone marrow and can differentiate into a variety of cell types.
