Fighting Cancer From Within with Martin Rossman, MD
submitted by: admin on 09/21/2013
Dr. Rossman presents a convincing argument that what we think profoundly affects our biochemistry and physiology and has amazing effects on our ability to heal. Imagery is the natural language of the unconscious mind. It is the language of the emotions, memory, and dreams and is the way we put the world together in our minds. Dr. Rossman gives many examples of...
First Impressions Can be Harmful to Your Health
submitted by: admin on 10/22/2018
First impressions are powerful and lasting. This carries over into medicine big time. Once we become accustomed to a certain test or treatment we feel deprived when we don't have access to them. Dr. Len and Nurse Vicki review examples of this that include mammograms and breast thermography, drugs and infrared light therapy, routine lab testing and BioEnergy...
Frontiers in Medicine with Frank Shallenberger MD, HMD

Dr. Shallenberger explains how we can look at underlying cell biochemistry to explain disease and how it can be modified to promote healthier homeostasis.
Garlic Superior to Antibiotics for Common Food-borne Illnesses
submitted by: admin on 09/22/2013
A compound in garlic, diallyl disulfide, according to an article in the May issue of the Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy, is more than 100 times more potent than Cipro or erythromycin in food borne illnesses caused by campylobacter, pathogenic E. coli, and listeria infections. There are far more complication from pharmaceutical drugs than from...
Getting Younger and Healthier with Age with Sherrill Sellman, ND
submitted by: admin on 09/22/2013
Antiaging hormones are overdone. The HRT story is a wake-up call. Bioidentical hormone treatment is not a panacea, in fact, it is untested. Indigenous perspectives are worth noting.
Gut Bacteria May Protect Against Stroke
submitted by: admin on 09/22/2013
Altered gut microbiota is associated with heart attacks and strokes. A Swedish study published in the December issue of Nature Communications showed that the gut microflora in people with stroke had less capacity to produce carotenoids and could be part of the reason why they suffered from a stroke.
Carotenoid supplements show mixed results in...
Gut Microbes Control Allergic Disorders
submitted by: admin on 09/22/2013
An article in Nature Medicine in March of 2012 showed that changes in the commensal microbes in the gut or antibiotic treatment predispose people to systemic allergic diseases. The role of the basophil white blood cell in this process was found to be related to heightened allergic responses in the lung and to elevated levels of IgE antibodies.
We...
Gut Microflora and Colon Cancer
submitted by: admin on 04/24/2014
Studies from the Wistar Institute published in April of 2014 suggest that the microbes that make up the microflora of the intestinal tract can suppress DNA repair in the cells lining the intestinal tract and lead to colorectal cancer. It is only recently that most gastroenterologists have begun to appreciate the importance of the microflora in the gut. We...
Gut Microflora Regulate Immunity
submitted by: admin on 03/31/2015
A study from the Mayo Clinic published in the PloS ONE in June of 2012 showed that the gut microflora regulate the immune system and may be directly related to autoimmune disorders such as ulcerative colitis, and diabetes. In fact, the gut microbiome may be used as a biomarker for this predisposition and it may be possible to prevent autoimmune diseases...
H. Pylori and Salt Intake
submitted by: admin on 09/22/2013
The H. pylori bacteria is associated with ulcers and cancer. Salt intake increases the activity of the bacteria. Knowing what makes this bacteria grow is important. The number of H. pylori in the stomach has a lot to do with its being able to cause disease. Yet the presence of this microbe by itself in low concentrations does not cause problems. Using aggressive...
H. Pylori DNA Reduces Inflammation from Colitis
submitted by: admin on 09/22/2013
DNA from H. pylori minimizes the effects of colitis in mice with regard to weight loss, GI bleeding, and stool consistency. More than 50% of the world has significant amounts of this microbe in their intestinal tracts. The bug in some settings could be good for us! Radical treatment with triple therapy that includes several antibiotics, acid blockers,...
H. Pylori Protects Against Intestinal Infections
submitted by: admin on 09/22/2013
People who have the ulcer-inducing microbe, H. pylori, may be protected against intestinal infections. While 50% of us harbor this microbe, only a few of us develop problems from it. It has also been shown to protect against the development of asthma. A study published in the December 2011 issue of Clinical Infectious Diseases reported that soldiers infected...
H. Pylori: Good or Bad?
submitted by: admin on 09/22/2013
Infection with H pylori provides reliable protection against allergy-induced asthma by impairing the production of dendritic cells and triggering the accumulation of regulatory T-cells. Researchers published in the Journal of Clinical Investigation that the dramatic increase in allergic diseases in industrialized countries is linked to the rapid disappearance...
Having Too Few Gut Microbes is a Disease
submitted by: admin on 09/22/2013
A study published in the August issue of the journal, Nature, did a genetic analysis on the number of gut microbes in 292 Danes and found that 25% have up to 40% fewer gut bacteria and reduced bacterial diversity. This was accompanied by low grade inflammation, weakened immunity, an increase in the incidence of obesity!
Decreased numbers and...

Holism and Bodymind Medicine
submitted by: admin on 09/24/2013
Body, mind, emotion, and spirit are inseparable. They are one thing, not four. What you think regulates the biochemistry and physiology of the body. Imagery is the language of the mind and what we imagine is often a self-fulfilling prophecy. Physical disease is the somatic expession of psychospiritual dis-ease.
How Antibiotics Can Make Your Kids Fat
submitted by: admin on 12/17/2014
We already know that children who are exposed to antibiotics at an early age may be associated with obesity in their early years. However, this study is the first to show that offspring of pregnant mothers who take antibiotics during the second or third trimester have an 86% increased risk of becoming obese by age 7 compared to those mothers not taking antibiotics....
How Artificial Sweeteners Cause Type 2 Diabetes and Obesity
submitted by: admin on 10/22/2018
According to the October 2014 issue of the journal, Nature, artificial sweeteners such as saccharine, Splenda, and Nutrasweet (aspartame) cause changes in the human microbiome (intestinal microflora) that lead to glucose intolerance (insulin resistance) within one week in more than half of the subjects of a small study. When stool from these people was tranplanted...
How Chocolate Reduces Risk for Heart Attacks and Strokes
submitted by: admin on 10/22/2018
Scientists from LSU Medical Center reported at the 247th National Meeting & Exposition on how the flora in the intestinal tract digest chocolate and convert its large, poorly absorbed, polyphenols that protect the heart and brain from inflammation, into smaller, more easily absorbed antioxidants. They recommend building up the gut microbes that accomplish...
