Low Level Laser Light Therapy
submitted by: admin on 10/09/2013
Overuse injuries such as achilles tendonitis heals twice as fast when using a low level laser therapy (this is the same as infrared light therapy or photonic stimulation). Studies published in the journal Sports Medicine report this. NASA studies show that the light penetrates about 10 inches and speeds up healing by about 50%. This light works by reducing inflammation,...
Lowering Cholesterol: What Does it Do?
submitted by: admin on 11/22/2024
Lowering cholesterol is not directly correlated to stopping arteriosclerosis and extending life. Inflammation is the cause and should be the primary target. Statins have serious side effects but have value in some people. Berberine causes more cholesterol receptor to form that bind with cholesterol and thereby lower its levels.

Microbes in the Gut Determine the Risk for Cancer
submitted by: admin on 11/21/2013
An article published in the journal of the American Society for Microbiology called mBio showed that both inflammation and a certain microbiome contribute to the development of colon cancer in mice.
Researchers transferred a stool sample from mice with colon cancer to germ-free mice and found that the incidence of colon cancer double that when compared...
Never Be Fat Again
submitted by: admin on 10/29/2013
Raymond Francis wrote the book, Never Be Fat Again, and explains why being overweight is a symptom, not a cause for this disease. Much of the cause of obesity is related to inflammation in the body caused by an unhealthy lifestyle that includes a poor diet, lack of exercise and sleep, too much stress, and exposure to environmental chemicals. There is a lot...
New Breakthroughs in Energy Medicine
submitted by: admin on 10/12/2013
Infrared light therapy increases circulation, speeds up healing by 50% according to NASA studies, increases lymphatic drainage, adds energy to the mitochondria, and calms down pain fibers. Treatment can be monitored in real time as it is delivered by the use of an infrared scanner, which is recommended. Many conditions are treatable with infrared light therapy.
New Breakthroughs in Pain Management with Richard Gracer, MD
submitted by: admin on 10/12/2013
The first step in considering treatment is to make an accurate diagnosis. The body heals itself and we need to support it to promote healing by looking at a wide range of therapies that range from nutrition to surgery. Lifestyle medicine is the first place to start. Having flexibility in choosing a treatment is key to finding the best treatment.

Non-Steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs Contraindicated After Shoulder Surgery
submitted by: admin on 11/22/2024
These NSAIDs are widely used reflexively. After surgery they interfere with bone to tendon healing. It makes one wonder what happens in other situations. They reduce inflammation but retard healing. They aren't safe.
Obesity Genes Influence Food Choices
submitted by: admin on 10/12/2013
An article published in the May of 2012 issue of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition showed that people with variation in certain obesity genes tend to eat more meals and snacks, consume more calories, and often choose high fat, sugary foods. It may be possible to minimize this genetic risk by changing one's eating patterns through conscious eating.
Omega 3 Fats Protect Against Nerve Damage
submitted by: admin on 10/12/2013
Research from the University of London published in the Journal of Neuroscience showed that omega-3 fatty acids can protect nerves from injury and help them regenerate. Researchers found that mice recovered from sciatic nerve injury more quickly and more fully and that muscles were less likely to waste if they had high levels of omega 3 fatty acids.
Unfortunately,...

An omega 3 deficiency is associated with increased anxiety, which is very common in the US.
Other benefits of omega...
One Session of the Relaxation Response Alters Gene Expression
submitted by: admin on 10/12/2013
According to an article published in the May 2013 issue of PLoS ONE, a single session of the relaxation response produced immediate changes in gene expression of immunity, energy metabolism, and insulin secretion. Investigators from Harvard analyzed the expression of more than 22,000 genes and found that the relaxation response alleviates symptoms...
Optimal Nutrition in Preparation for Surgery
submitted by: admin on 11/22/2024
An article published in the journal, Surgery, in March of 2013 showed that what you eat before surgery may affect your recovery.

Mainstream treatment for inflammatory bowel diseases such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn's Disease sometimes require very aggressive treatment with steroids, TNF alpha blockers, chemotherapy, and even surgery, but they also require nutritional support of the GI tract with probiotics, l-glutamine, quercetin, digestive enzymes, essential fatty acids, and optimal...
Pain and Inflammation
submitted by: admin on 02/20/2015
Most of us suffer from some type of pain on a daily basis, especially as we age, and we turn to pharmaceutical drugs such as NSAIDs and Tylenol, not realizing the potential dangers they often cause. These drugs cause more than 30,000 deaths and 300,000 hospitalizations annually in the US. We should be working to discover the reasons for pain and taking action...
