From early childhood until seven years ago I was fed dairy products like water. My family was convinced that if I didn’t eat dairy products I would shrivel up and die! Today, after being on a complete plant-based diet for seven years I’m happy to say that I’m much better for eliminating the poison. It’s one of the best decisions I’ve ever made!

Tuesday, June 1st, 2010Diabetes Is A Family Disease
Tuesday, May 4th, 2010Most chronic illnesses affect the people around the patient as well as the patient. However many diabetics fail to capture this idea nor use it in order to help improve their treatment and care.
If your diabetes is out of control, it is not just you who suffers, but those who love you as well.

At the very least, high blood sugar can cause irritability and mood swings. This fact can cause stress for your spouse and children and other loved ones. Furthermore, it can cause fear and anger amongst these important people in your life. (more…)

Antioxidant Power. Vitamins C, E and Selenium
Tuesday, February 16th, 2010Antioxidants have been at the top of readers minds, apparently, because we keep getting questions about vitamins C, E and selenium. Everyone’s hoping to boost their immune system, prevent aging, up their brain power and so on.
Remember, there is still no evidence in medical literature to support megadoses of antioxidants. The new RDAs (Recommended daily amount) for vitamins C and E are designed to prevent deficiencies, NOT to promote your health if you’re already getting enough of them. For example, if you’re eating properly, you’re getting more than 200 mg of vitamin C everyday, far more than the RDA of 75mg. The chart we’ve provided is simply for further information, rather than an attempt to encourage you to take supplements or overdose yourself. (more…)

Drug businesses require plenty of money for lab equipment, lab workers, experiments, and various tests. They are definitely not a charity so they have to make a profit somehow. (more…)
