‘Chasing Coral’: Documentary vividly chronicles a growing threat to oceans

While it would be nice to believe that the reason we are destroying our oceans is that we don’t know any better, that ship sailed a long time ago; “as our atmosphere’s carbon dioxide levels keep climbing at unprecedented rates, it’s clear that widespread unawareness has been replaced by a widespread apathy. We know all too well what’s happening, and we don’t care enough to work together to stop it.” 1 So, while it might be a little naive of me, I’m going to suggest that if you have a Netflix account you take advantage of the new documentary...

Why the ketogenic diet may help fight diabetes, cancer

A growing body of research is showing that a diet extremely high in fat and low in carbohydrates, the hallmarks of a ketogenic diet, is not only good for weight loss, but might also help to prevent disease. (And yes, there are also those who caution against this diet and we suspect for as many people as there are who support it, there are those who do not. Check out the video at the very bottom about the dangers of a keto life.) RELATED STORY: VIDEO: Late Holistic Dr. Gonzalez Dismantles Ketogenic Diet For Cancer “The ketogenic diet, or keto, relies...

Stop creating so many free radicals in your colon

By Michael Greger M.D. FACLM Colon cancer risk in Westernized populations may be reduced by decreasing animal product intake and thereby decreasing  “aggressive” factors as animal protein and fat. I’ve explored how animal protein can putrefy and produce the rotten egg gas that may be toxic to DNA (see Putrefying Protein and “Toxifying” Enzymes), but what about the fat? It can stimulate the synthesis and secretion of bile acids into the intestine. RELATED STORY: 50% of all colon cancer cases are preventable Bile helps the body digest fats. So, more fat in the intestines means more bile in the intestines, which wouldn’t be a problem except bile acids, especially...

Why one plant may be fueling the spread of Lyme Disease

You aren’t alone if you’ve either never heard of the Japanese barberry plant or if you didn’t know it was contributing to Lyme Disease. After all, it’s just a small, decorative shrub that landscape artists favor because of its color and heartiness. Oh and because deer hate it. However, ticks don’t hate it and as Japanese barberry has essentially grown out of control in places, it’s now become a safe haven for ticks. RELATED STORY: Could you have Lyme Disease and not even know? “Japanese barberry shrubs are warmer and more humid than other plants, creating an environment where ticks can thrive and...
