Lonliness and Isolation with Meg Jordan, PhD
submitted by: admin on 11/25/2024
Lonliness and isolation increase our risk for morbidity and mortality by up to 500%. Our survival depends on the healing power of love, intimacy and relationships at every level. The journey towards our inner truth is too lonely to go it alone. Teleologically we are built to have healthy relationships.

Loving is for Giving with Emmett Miller, MD
submitted by: admin on 11/25/2024
Love is for giving! Awakening the leader within rather than taking commands from the outside is critical. We are deluged by commands that discourage authenticity. We must realize who we are on the inside. Who am I is the question. Letting go of attachments of what other say is the key. Be present, don't deify the mind!
Low Calcium Diet Promotes Kidney Stones
submitted by: admin on 10/09/2013
Women with a history of kidney stones have a higher absorption rate of calcium present in the diet. Consuming adequate calcium reduces calcium absorption from the gut and helps prevent calcium stones. Most people with calcium kidney stones mistakenly lower their calcium intake. Low calciium intake actually increases the absorption of calcium from the gut and...
Low Dose Naltrexone
submitted by: admin on 06/24/2016
Low dose naltrexone (LDN) has been implicated to help with cancer, HIV/AIDS, autoimmune diseases, and much more. Now it has been shown to have a potent antitumor effect on human ovarian cancer in both tissue culture and in animal xenografts. Naltrexone (NTX) is a general opioid receptor antagonist that results in compensatory elevation in endogenous opioids and...
Low Glycemic Index Linked to Higher Mortality
submitted by: admin on 10/09/2013
For patients over the age of 60 it appears that the target hemoglobin A1c level of less than 6.0% are associated with a higher death rate. This happens despite the fact that the complications of type 2 diabetes are far lower when A1c levels are less than 6.0%. The best overall outcomes occur with A1c levels between 6.0 and 8.0.
Nonetheless, the best treatment...
Low HDL Cholesterol Does Not Cause Heart Attacks
submitted by: admin on 02/19/2015
Even though there is abundant evidence that people with low protective HDL cholesterol are at risk for heart attacks, a large new study refutes this myth. People with high HDL in this study of 70,000 people had a much lower incidence of heart attacks, but people with a genetic defect in producing HDL and had a low level in this study did not have an...
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,...
Low Vitamin D and Risk of Cancer
submitted by: admin on 10/09/2013
The epidemic of vitamin D deficiency has put us at risk for several types of cancer such as breast, colon, and prostate. We need UVB sunlight to make vitamin D in our skin and we don't get it much anymore.
Lower Blood Pressure Readings May Be Dangerous When Treating Hypertension
submitted by: admin on 07/10/2014
A medical study from Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center published an article in the journal, Internal Medicine, in June of 2014 that contradicts common medical belief that when treating hypertension, the lower the better. They studied 4,480 patients for 21 years and found that once blood pressure is below 140, there is no benefit in loweing the systolic...
Lowering Cholesterol: What Does it Do?
submitted by: admin on 11/25/2024
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.
Lying Less Linked to Better Health
submitted by: admin on 10/10/2013
A study out of Notre Dame University August of 2012 showed that telling the truth when tempted to lie can significantly improve a person's mental and physical health. Investigators sampled 110 people over 10 weeks. Half were instructed to stop telling major and minor lies for the 10 week study. Both groups returned to the lab weekly to complete...

Mad Cow Disease
submitted by: admin on 11/25/2024
The USDA does little to protect the US public against Mad Cow Disease. While there are less than 200 cases of reported of BSE, because of its suspected long incubation period, there is still concern.
Mad Cow Disease in California
submitted by: admin on 10/10/2013
The first US case of mad cow disease in six years was found in central California in a dairy cow that was not slaughtered for food. It has not been reported to be transmissable in milk. Testing of downer cows is only about 0.2%, so we cannot rest assured that Americans are not being exposed to a lot of cows that have the disease but are not yet sick enough to...
Magnesium
submitted by: admin on 11/25/2024
This mineral has profound effects on our biochemistry and physiology in many diseases such as asthma and heart disease. Measuring it is under-utilized and should involve measuring intracellular levels, not just serum levels because 99% is intracellular, not in blood.
Magnesium for Bone Density
submitted by: admin on 10/10/2013
Magnesium deficiency affects 80% of us. It is critical for hundreds of enzymatic reactions in the body. We need about 500 mg of magnesium glycinate. It is critical for building bone. Many micronutrients and lifestyle measures are needed to build bone. The dangers of calcium supplements in causing arteriosclerosis and kidney stones are reviewed.
Mainstream Medicine Nixes Acupuncture
submitted by: admin on 10/10/2013
A 29 study metaanalysis done by Sloan Kettering scientists and published in Archives of Internal Medicine in September of 2012 suggests that placebo accounts for the bulk of the effect of acupuncture. They found that about half of the 18,000 patients involved in these studies had about a 50% reduction in pain and that 43% with sham treatment responded...
