The whey connection to glutathione—the "master” antioxidant.
Since Fall is the second best season to detox—after spring—now would be a wonderful time to support your body’s glutathione production—the key to complete detoxification!
Glutathione becomes easily drained because it is zapped so easily by chemicals, molds, heavy metals, and electromagnetic energy fields. In fact, a continuous supply of glutathione is needed to neutralize all types of toxins including drugs and over-the-counter meds that contain acetaminophen—like Tylenol. It is interesting to note that in people with serious diseases, glutathione levels are severely diminished, suggesting this… Continue reading Categories

Fat Flush Makes Woman’s World Cover Story Again.
The October 3, 2011 Woman’s World is on newsstands now! It features my recipe—the one I exclusively created for Woman’s World readers—for a diet soup that helps to beat bloat and toxins while emulsifying fat. The soup’s slimming ingredients include lots of warming and earthy flavor-filled spices like cumin, for example, which helps the digestive system by relieving abdominal distention and gas and helps to alleviate migraines and headaches.
The Fat Flush Diet Soup also contains ample amounts of antioxidant rich… Continue reading Healing Homes and Healthy Bodies

Going beyond green indoors.
Your air tight “green” home with its solar power and energy-efficient windows may be exposing you to indoor toxins you never suspected. As we have tightened our homes to save energy, we have unwittingly restricted proper air circulation, which in turn has increased prolonged exposure to toxicity. Indoor air can contain chemicals that are nearly 100 times more concentrated indoors than outdoors. Researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory find commercial air fresheners and cleaning products contain ethylene-based glycol ethers, terpenes, volatile organic compounds… Continue reading Ready, Set, Sweat!

Advanced detox with revolutionary sauna technology.
For those of you who have become detox connoisseurs, I’m sure you’ve heard of infrared saunas. Infrared saunas represent the next wave of advanced and therapeutic cleansing by sweating out toxins—lots of them—through the skin. The sweat produced in a conventional sauna is usually about 3% toxins, while a broad spectrum infrared sauna can produce sweat that is nearly 20% toxins. A rise in core body temperature is the key to achieving the deepest detoxifying sweat.
After all, the skin is your largest elimination organ and removes over… Continue reading Mighty Manganese and Sexy Selenium: The Secret Bone-Building Minerals

Micro-minerals with a macro punch.
Earlier this week I wrote about bone-building—emphasizing the right kind of calcium, along with vitamin K and vitamin D. Now, I’m going to focus on two bone-building minerals I didn’t write about then, which I feel are important enough to merit a blog of their very own: manganese and selenium. Both are contained in the Osteo-Key product I use and recommend for optimum bone health.
The truth is, manganese is just as vital as calcium for treating and preventing bone and joint related problems, and… Continue reading Bone Up!

Take your calcium with vitamin K and vitamin D.
We now know that osteoporosis is not simply a “calcium deficiency disease” or even a hormone deficiency disorder. Thanks to the latest research which has ignited the Vitamin K and Vitamin D revolutions, we can now be assured that the calcium we do consume ends up in our bones—not in our soft tissues or arteries.
Bone loss,you see, is a rather complicated condition that impacts an estimated 10 million in the US.[1] Another 34 million Americans are at risk of developing osteoporosis due to a condition of low bone… Continue readingFat Flush for Fall

An Old Epidemic Resurfaces: The Iodine Connection
September 6th, 2011
Radiation rising, hypothyroidism on the increase, uterine fibroids epidemic.
Iodine is certainly getting a lot of attention lately. As radiation from Fukushima continues to contaminate the environment and threatens the globe, iodine, a formidable mineral adaptogen, is rising to the forefront. And with good reason: Nutritional iodine actually blocks radioactive iodine (iodine-131) from being absorbed by your thyroid gland! When you have a sufficient amount of this key nutrient in your body, not only your thyroid, but all other glandular tissues, including breast, prostate and ovaries, are protected. Problem… Continue reading

Prevent memory loss, maintain and restore brain power.
1. Aerobicize – Believe it or not, studies have shown that aerobic exercise – but not weight training – can make you smarter! The physical benefits of aerobic exercise, especially improved cardiovascular health, are well-known and documented. Not so well-known is that such exercise can have profoundly beneficial effects upon the brain as well. Consider this ground-breaking research:
A 2009 study by University of North Carolina researchers used magnetic resonance angiograms to determine that elderly subjects who did regular aerobic exercise… Continue reading
