Richards, CCN) In 1994, with the discovery of leptin, the view of white adipose tissue was transformed from a warehouse whose primary role was the storage of extra calories into one of the most important endocrine organs in the human body. The explosion in leptin-related research, now involving over 16,000 studies, is a testament to the emerging reality that leptin regulates (as a top-level manager) almost everything in your body.

Richards, CCN) The myopic public health machine is clinging to their anti-viral drugs and future experimental vaccines as their great hope for minimizing a potential Swine flu pandemic. It is a paradigm of assistance that woefully falls short. What the public really needs is credible immune system information that not only helps overcome the fear of this flu, but also provides tangible steps to take in addition to hand washing, hygiene, and reducing potential exposure. In the case of a pandemic, everyone will be exposed. The million dollar question is: What determines immune system fitness?

A healthy GI tract can reduce the likelihood of viral replication as well as getting your immune system into gear to deal with the problem. The New Swine Flu – Why Are Younger Adults Dying?Wednesday, April 29, 2009 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) Up to this point most deaths from the new swine flu have occurred in Mexico, striking indiscriminately at young and old.

Richards, CCN) Many years ago the Daily Energy Multiple Vitamin set a standard for quality in the dietary supplement industry that remains unmatched.

Taking Q10 for a Test Drive – Is Ubiquinol Better?Friday, February 27, 2009 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) Recently consumers have been greatly confused over the type of Q10 that is best to take. A new form of Q10 called ubiquinol has entered the marketplace, a form that may offer some advantages for some people. However, several companies have been making unsubstantiated claims of superiority that appear driven more by sales than science, making consumers wonder if the Q10 they are taking is any good.

Richards, CCN) Coenzyme Q10 was the first anti-aging superstar nutrient, hitting the consumer market in the 1970s.
