Helping Vaccines Work Better
Soon after your child became ill, you reached out to leaders in the “vaccine risk awareness” movement to report your grief and horror. They touched your hand, or told you they empathized. They asked that you send them money. Then they professed that most vaccines were “pretty safe. Only some vaccines have problems that require our ongoing vigilance,” they assured.
Aspartame Dangers
Aspartame, known to the public as NutraSweet, Equal, and Spoonful, has been the subject of controversy since it first became an ingredient in food products in 1981. In 1985, Americans used 800 million pounds of Aspartame, with an average intake of 5.8 pounds per person. They consumed more than 20 billion cans of aspartame-sweetened soft drinks in 1985 alone.

Ayurvedic Medicine
Ayurveda is derived from two Sanskrit words, Ayur, “life” and Veda, “science,” and means “the science of life.” Ayurveda is the 5,000-year-old science of living in harmony with the Universe — harmony with both other people and our environment. To understand harmony, we must know who and where we are in relation to others. Harmony, or balance, is the basic concept at the heart of Ayurveda.
Bee Venom Therapy Protocol
Bee Venom Therapy can be used cases of neurological wasting diseases, demyelinating, neuraesthenic conditions affecting the limbs or digits, disorders of inflammatory responses locally due to neural pathology or nutrient deficiency, traumatic damage to soft or osseous tissue, and acute or chronic conditions that would improve with the increased efficiency of the inflammatory response and neural vitality. Consider this approach with challenging pathologies while continuing standard Naturopathic treatments and prescribing.
Benfotiamine & Diabetic Concerns
When treating diabetes, today’s doctors focus on establishing blood glucose control, but often overlook the need to protect against common diabetic complications such as blindness, stroke, endothelial dysfunction, and loss of limb. Fortunately, benfotiamine, a little-known fat-soluble form of vitamin B1, has been shown to help prevent the development and progression of many diabetic complications. As a result, benfotiamine has become a critical nutrient for those seeking to ward off the potentially lethal impact of sustained high blood sugar levels.
Bio-Identical Hormone Therapy
Natural Hormone Replacement Therapy (nHRT) uses bio-identical human hormones or plant precursors to help restore optimal hormone levels for one’s age and stage of life. This supplementation is done to gain the proven benefits that these optimal hormone levels provide to the body. Hormones are natural messengers that affect thousands of normal health functions in tiny amounts. You can understand that they would be harmful if they are present in excess, at the wrong time, or in a form that is difficult for the body to use.
Blood Sugar Health Problems
Diabetic retinopathy (DR), the leading cause of visual disability and blindness among adults in the developed world, may affect as many as 20 million people. Early detection and treatment are keys to preventing the vision loss and blindness associated with the disease. Unfortunately, only about half of those with diabetes have proper eye examinations on a yearly basis. It is very important that diabetics have a dilated eye exam each year.
Calcium Sources
Calcium is an important mineral for bones, teeth, and metabolism. Here are some useful tables and lists that show what foods are good sources of calcium. Also shown are what factors are inhibitors of calcium assimilation, and particular times when the body requires more calcium. Finally, we list some protein sources that contain significant amounts of calcium.
Cancer: How Orasal (Salicinium) Works
Every normal cell in the body takes in oxygen from the blood to perform its function. This is called respiration, an aerobic process that takes place in the mitochondria. Cells take in oxygen and perform their functions by producing a chemical called Adenosine Tri-Phosphate (ATP), and it provides the vital energy that runs the entire body.

Chemotherapy Poses Grave Risks
May 17, 2005 (HealthDay News) A study involving two chemotherapy drugs used in combination to treat breast cancer was halted after two patients died and one suffered a serious complication, French investigators report. All three women had febrile neutropenia, a complication of chemotherapy involving a reduction in immune white blood cells accompanied by fever. The study authors warn of the possible risks of the drug combo in a report published in the May 18 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association.

Coconut Oil for Weight Loss & More
I have discussed the many toxic effects of unsaturated oils, and I have frequently mentioned that coconut oil doesn’t have those toxic effects, though it does contain a small amount of the unsaturated oils. Many people have asked me to write something on coconut oil. I thought I might write a small book on it, but I realize that there are no suitable channels for distributing such a book. If the seed-oil industry can eliminate major corporate food products that have used coconut oil for a hundred years, they certainly have the power to prevent dealers from selling a book that would affect their market more seriously. For the present, I will just outline some of the virtues of coconut oil.
Coconut Oil Benefits
The coconut is a nourishing, strengthening dietary supplement. It is used in all stages of maturity. As a food, it is most valuable before it matures. Its jelly-like tender kernel contains various enzymes and is easily digestible. The milk of fresh coconut forms a valuable food for children suffering from nutritional deficiency. It has adequate natural minerals and high-quality proteins which are valuable for growth and repair of the body.
