Glutathione at your service.
Every once in a while, a true breakthrough in healing comes along that somehow is ignored by the mainstream press.
Meet glutathione.
As a master detoxifier and antioxidant, glutathione occurs in every cell in the body but is most active in the liver. It becomes easily drained because it is neutralized by the major toxic invaders of our time: chemicals, molds, radiation, drugs, and electromagnetic radiation. A continuous supply of glutathione is needed to zap all types of metabolic wastes and other toxic substances like prescription drugs and over the counter… Continue reading Categories

Cool down and lose weight with fruit!
Juicy, succulent fruits, especially berries of all kind—like raspberries, strawberries, blackberries, and blueberries—are the perfect antidote to rising temperatures. But blueberries, especially, are quite the superfruit these days. In honor of the beautiful blues, July has even been named "National Blueberry Month."
With an ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) score of 6552, one cup of blueberries can take care of your minimum daily recommendation of antioxidants and then some. (Of course other berries are also good alternatives, especially blackberries [5347 per cup], raspberries [4882 per cup], and strawberries [3577 per cup].) Blueberries are a… Continue reading Love Your Heart

The cardio tests and single nutrient your heart shouldn't be without.
Since February is Heart Health Month, last week I decided to undergo several cardiovascular screenings that included a complete set of heart disease, aneurysm, and stroke tests along with a bone density test. For less than $180, my package included an echocardiogram, which uses sound waves to give you a moving picture of the heart—without the ionizing radiation exposure that does damage to the thyroid and other organs.
I like this non-invasive test because it picks up the kinds of subtle heart signals—like arrhythmias (or… Continue reading The Single Diet Fix for Super Natural Energy

The ancient seed that outperforms modern-day superfoods.
The Aztecs, Mayans, and Native Americans all shared a "secret food of the gods." It was the tiny chia seed—a real superfood by today's standards. In terms of antioxidant value, this super seed packs more of a nutritional punch than acai, pomegranate, artichoke, or blueberries. No wonder the fearless Aztecs could subsist on just a couple of handfuls during their mile long treks as they conquered Central America!
Energize, Halt Hunger, and Get Moving with Chia
Today, there's a lot more we know about this legendary super seed. For one thing, it is a complete source of vegetarian protein providing all the necessary amino acids to fuel… Continue reading Vitamin C: No Ulcers and So Much More

Antioxidants KO Bacteria.
Vitamin C does a lot more than fend off the common cold. This premier antioxidant now appears to attack nasty bacteria linked to heartburn and ulcers.
The most prevalent bacteria outside the human body, Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) can infect three-quarters of the world’s population. And once it gets inside the body, H. pylori knows tricks other bacteria don’t know about.
While stomach acid is usually strong enough to kill most pathogens, H. pylori shields itself from harm with a special enzyme called urease, which reacts with waste materials to neutralize acid. Protected by… Continue reading
