Aluminum, toxic or not?

health and wellness Nov 01, 2018

The awareness of evidence regarding aluminum exposure and its negative effects on our bodies is growing.  Researchers have been linking aluminum exposure to neurological disorders such as Alzheimers, Parkinsons, ADHD, and even cancer for years.  In fact, “there has been a strong link between human exposure to aluminum and the incidence of Alzheimer’s disease for half a century or more” says Chris Exley, PhD, of Keele University in England who has been studying the impact of aluminum on the human body since 1984.1 Aluminum occurs naturally is the soil, water, and air but we are contributing to the load by manufacturing of aluminum products, power plants, pollution from industrialization, “chemtrails” from aircraft in the skies, and vaccines.

If significant aluminum load exceeds the body’s capacity to eliminate it, it is deposited into various tissues that include bone, brain, liver, heart, spleen, and muscle.2  ...

DNA Testing Accuracies

health and wellness May 01, 2018

You’ve DONE a consumer DNA Test and are concerned about the results…

You have every right to be concerned, here are just some of the reasons why:

Although only one company is approved to share information about medical risk for some health conditions, nearly all companies share the raw data; research finds nearly 40% of medical data from these tests may be false positives.  Your DNA contains deeply personal information about your health, personality and familial history.  This information can potentially be used to discriminate against you in the workplace, affect your ability to acquire insurance policies and can even be sold, without your knowledge, to research companies.

The number of people requesting a direct-to-consumer DNA test during 2017 more than doubled from one year prior.  According to Ancestry.com they claim the largest DNA database with more than 7 million people’s DNA stored.1 While tests like these are highly advertised and an...

Your Ferritin might be too high if…

health and wellness Feb 01, 2018

What Is Ferritin?

Ferritin is a protein in the body that stores iron and releases it.  A simple blood test can determine this value for you.  When Ferritin builds up, iron overload is the result.  Over time, these excesses build up in major organs and if it is not removed, these organs can become diseased.  This can be a genetic trait, in which it is called Hemochromatosis.  However, this is the case only about 10% of patients with high Ferritin.  Elevated Ferritin is a lot more common for other reasons than you think and is to not be overlooked. Untreated hemochromatosis can be fatal.  More often though, the iron overload presents in patients with obesity, chronic inflammation, daily alcohol consumption, heart disease, liver disease, renal failure, joint paint, metabolic syndrome or diabetes, or even cancer.

Dr. Paul Adams of division of Gastroenterology University of Western Ontario, Canada says “it is important to remember that elevated...

The FAR Reaching EFFECTS of DEHYDRATION

health and wellness Oct 01, 2017

At first glance a few key statistics related to water intake and composition are important to note: the human body contains roughly 11 gallons of water broken down into these fractional parts: blood is 85% water, muscle is 80% water, brain is 75% water and bones are 25% water.

With the value and percentage of water making up nearly 66% of the human body it plays a tremendously important role in normal physiological function(s).  This is largely why dehydration, when present, can lead to a number of critical problems including: migraines, constipation and even kidney stones.1 Lack of water in the body can also take a toll on the health of your BRAIN, affecting mood and overall cognitive and emotional function.  When dehydrated a person may be more prone to feelings of fatigue, anxiety and irritability.
