Sweet Frozen Treats

When we are wanting something cold and sweet, we often reach for an ice cream bar. But those who are on a diet feel guilty because it’s deemed unhealthy. So what’s the solution?

Leaching Lectins

A lectin-free or low-lectin meal plan has provided many people with relief from digestive symptoms and other disorders. But, what the heck are lectins, and who should avoid or limit them?   Let’s take a look at the topic of lectins in more detail to find out if you would benefit from a low-lectin diet.
One important thing to remember is that following a lectin-free diet has preliminary, but not conclusive research to support its benefits.
 

Do You Have Parasites?

It’s not just a 3rd world problem. Parasites and parasitic infections are common in humans, affecting millions of people worldwide. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that about 25% of the global population has an intestinal parasite infection, and in tropical and subtropical areas with limited access to sanitation and clean water, that number can be as high as 50%. In the United States, the CDC says that over 60 million people are infected with parasites.

Your Health Under Pressure

How barometric pressure effects your health
Time for a quick science lesson! Barometric pressure is the amount of atmospheric pressure around the Earth. It’s a measure of the weight of the air that presses down on the earth and the barometric air pressure changes with weather or at different altitudes.

The Magic of Mushrooms

Mushroom steak, mushroom coffee, mushroom supplements . . . You can’t walk more than a few aisles in the grocery store these days without running into some kind of new mushroom product. Fresh white button mushrooms are increasingly joined by specialty varieties like lion’s mane, maitake or oyster mushrooms. There’s sparkling cordyceps tea and chaga coffee boasting a range of health benefits, mushroom chips and even chocolate bars infused with reishi.
Well, mushrooms are pretty magical. They’re a hearty, umami-rich meat substitute. They’re a generous source of vitamins, minerals, protein and fiber. And they can grow on waste materials.

Getting Grounded

We’ve heard the terms tree huggers, nature freaks, anti-vaxers and it has always carried a negative connotation. Only those crazy hippies in California believe these ‘outlandish’ things. And yet we are starting to see why their naturalistic ideas have been thwarted in all our main information streams.

Love Your Liver

For most, seeing liver on your plate imparts immediate disinterest. But the liver is one of the most interesting organs of the human body. This amazing organ weighs about 3 pounds and is the second largest organ in the body, second only to skin (yes your skin is actually an organ!). The liver is also the only organ in the body that can actually regenerate itself. This is good news because the liver takes a beating every single day, working hard to protect us from the many toxins we are exposed to on a daily basis. A healthy life undoubtedly depends on a healthy liver!

Antibiotic Dangers

Healthy Living - Antibiotic Dangers

Fluoroquinolones, including ciprofloxacin (Cipro), levofloxacin (Levaquin), and moxifloxacin (Avelox), are powerful antibiotics designed to battle various bacterial infections—from urinary tract and respiratory infections to dermatological conditions.
Cipro was originally in develpment to be a cancer drug for stomach cancer. It was also found to have anti-microbial properties. The Bayer Pharma changed gears and got it approved in 1987 as and antibiotic because the requirements were less stringent and easier to fast track.
The World Health Organization classifies ciprofloxacin as critically important for human medicine. In 2021, it was the 141st most commonly prescribed medication in the United States, with more than 4 million prescriptions.
According to NIH, quinolones are used in the treatment of serious bacterial infections in adults; however, their use in children has been restricted due to concerns about potential cartilage damage. Nevertheless, quinolones are increasingly prescribed for pediatric patients. Ciprofloxacin is licensed in children >1 year of age for pseudomonal infections in cystic fibrosis, for complicated urinary tract infections, and for the treatment and prophylaxis of inhalation anthrax.
Cipro causes MANY horrible complications including ruptured achilles and quadriceps tendons. Here are two stories of people effected by this drug. One was over 9 years ago, and yet they still prescribe this drug like it’s aspirin.

Week 164 - REFINED FOODS
The secret is out. It is now in the ‘mainstream media’. NPR has published an article highlighting the fact that the food we eat is slowly killing us.
Evidence against ultra-processed food piles up
A study published in the British Medical Journal finds people who consume high amounts of processed foods have an increased risk of anxiety, depression, obesity, metabolic syndrome, certain cancers including colorectal cancer and premature death.
The data come from more than 9 million people who participated in dozens of studies, which researchers analyzed as part of umbrella review.
One telltale sign that a food is ultra-processed is if its ingredient label includes substances you would not find in your own kitchen such as high-fructose corn syrup, hydrogenated oils, hydrolysed protein, or additives such as artificial colors, flavor enhancers, emulsifiers, anti-caking agents and thickeners.
