With too little or too much iron the end result is a disaster. Iron deficiency in pregnancy causes mental retardation and iron excess in adults predisposes to premature aging. Five percent of the population has the gene for iron overload.      

An article published in November of 2013 in the journal, Photomedicine and Laser Surgery, documented that using blue light therapy at both 405 and 470 nm was effective in vivo to treat skin infections in rats infected with MRSA.  More than two billion people now carry some strain of staphlococcus aureus, and 53 million now carry MRSA (methicillin...

  Stone fruit such as peaches, plums, and nectarines have phenolic compounds that include anthocyanins, clorogenic acids, quercetin and catechins that work on fat cells, macrophages, and vascular endothelial cells to protect against inflammation that causes obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. They could possibly be a weapon against the metabolic...

Iron balance is critical. Too little and kids will be retarded, and too much and we age prematurely. About five percent of the population has the recessive gene for iron overload. Iron metabolism should be a routine assessment.

Iron overload in the body leads to accelerated aging through oxidative stress. Five percent of the population has the recessive gene for this problem. The mechanisms of this process are reviewed and treatment discussed.            

In the preantibiotic era, a technology called photo-oxidation that uses UV light was used very effectively in treating severe, advanced infections. About 200 cc of blood are circulated through UV light and put back into the body to have its antimicrobial effect. The mechanism of action and data supporting its use are described. A miraculous treatment was lost.

Inflammation is the final common pathway of illness. Inflammation is a repair deficit problem that must be dealt with if we're going to repair the physiology that leads to cellular dysfunction and disease. Proactive prevention through the alkaline way is a cornerstone of wellness. Homeostasis is about living in balance and harmony with nature. Rediscovering...
