The Genetic Variance in Fat Burning

Carbohydrates and fat are the primary fuels our bodies use as fuel, just like gas in the tank of your car. New research at the Monell Chemical Senses Center demonstrates clear genetic variance in the innate ability to burn fat as fuel. In essence, this means that some individuals eating a high fat diet have a genetic weakness to burn dietary fat and are more likely to become overweight....

NAC Reduces Gambling Addiction

A preliminary study conducted at the University of Minnesota shows that pathological gamblers are significantly helped by the antioxidant nutrient N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC). The study was conducted based on the notion that NAC modulates glutamate, a neurologic compound that can become an excitotoxin under various circumstances and lead to abnormal brain activation.

Obesity, Fatty Liver, and Nutrient Deficiency

The accumulation of fat in the liver is a significant health problem that clogs liver function, setting the stage for diabetes and other issues. It is typically occurring in direct relationship to one’s expanding waistline. Researchers just showed that stimulating the metabolism of fat significantly helped mice clear up this problem.

CT Scans: A Source of Medically Induced Cancer

Does it upset anybody to know that 1000 cases of cancer per year are needlessly caused in children by the very doctors who the children are seeing for help? An additional 4000 cases of cancer are caused in children each year under the pretense that taking a picture of the child’s internal body is medically necessary. The frequency of cancer in the adult population from CT scans is 10-20 times the number for children (10,000-20,000 needless cases of cancer plus an additional 40,000-80,000 “justified” cases of cancer).

Folic Acid and DHA for Cognitive Function and Alzheimer’s

New research is explaining the importance of folic acid and DHA for improved cognitive function and prevention of neuro-degeneration. Folic acid is found to lower the brain and cardiovascular irritant, homocysteine. It directly improves brain function and helps to raise the levels of DHA in the blood. DHA is known to help generate new nerve growth, improve nerve transmission and connectivity, enhance nerve-related memory factors, and reduce brain inflammation.

Lipoic Acid in Combination with Acetyl-L-Carnitine Activates Fat Cell Metabolism

Fancy experiments with high tech equipment are now becoming the norm. Such research is beginning to unravel the complex mystery of genes and related proteins involved in metabolism. Acetyl-L-Carnitine has long been known to help metabolize fat. Lipoic Acid has long been known to help metabolize carbohydrate. A new study with fat cells show that the two used together, better than either alone, work synergistically to increase the metabolic rate of fat cells.

Carnitine Improves Energy and Physical Function in Centenarians

Living to the ripe old age of 100 is not always a lot of fun. Typical problems involve poor endurance and weakness, especially upon physical activity (when this happens before age 60 its called fibromyalgia). Another key problem is deteriorating cognitive function and memory.

ADHD Linked to Poor Brain Development

A body of new scientific work is showing that ADHD may be rooted in the failure of the brain to develop at a normal rate, meaning that a 10 year old is behaving like a four year old and has a delay in anatomical brain development to prove it. This information is consistent with what I have been saying for some time about the importance of nutrient status in the womb, the health of the mother during pregnancy, especially regarding the subject of leptin. Womb-related issues and early life nutritional status are likely to have a huge bearing on childhood brain development and consequent intelligence (or lack thereof).

Is Running Essential for Survival (and good sex)?

For the first time the release of endorphins from the human brain in response to a two-hour run has been proven. The theory of the runner’s high has been around for quite a while but never proven in a scientific lab. In the current experiment sophisticated brain PET scans were taken before and after running. The evidence showed release of endorphins from specific brain regions known to process pain. It could very well be that running is ingrained in our genetics at a core level of survival...

How to Prevent Vaccine Injury

It is a colossal failure on the part of our government to not warn parents of the actual risks associated with vaccines. The blind insistence that vaccines are safe and effective is not supported by science, at least for a significant number of our children. There are now 25,000 children per year developing autism (1 in 150), a problem that has expanded in direct proportion to the increase in vaccinations. How do you know if your child is at risk?
