Richards, CCN) Chlorella is a single cell fresh water green microalgae that is loaded with nutrients. It contains more nucleic acids (RNA/DNA) than any other food which gives it a lot of energy-producing potential.

Calcium, Fat, and Weight Loss – Resolving the ConfusionMonday, May 05, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) A variety of reports in the past decade have indicated that calcium may be a helpful weight loss nutrient. This prompted the dairy industry to widely promote milk as a weight loss food. On May 5, 2008 a press release reports on an article that will soon appear in the Nutritional Reviews journal that states “neither dairy nor calcium intake promotes weight loss.” For consumers this simply becomes another “butter vs. margarine” or “are eggs good or bad” dilemma. Extra calcium is one tool that can actually help many people to lose weight in a healthy way. What’s in Your Multiple Vitamin? Detecting Real Quality. Part 2 – VitaminsTuesday, April 29, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) Multiple vitamins are taken by at least 50% of American adults and 25% of teenagers. It is common knowledge that our food supply is lacking key nutrients that support health. Yet, the quality of multiple vitamins varies dramatically as the majority of the dietary supplement industry falls into the “fast food” category. Junk vitamins, like junk food, should be avoided. Educate yourself and know the difference. What’s in Your Multiple Vitamin? Detecting Real Quality. Part 1 – MineralsWednesday, April 23, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) Junky vitamins are often passed off as quality, and many times endorsed by a physician or celebrity.

The Key Foods to Eat OrganicSunday, April 20, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) It remains a considerable challenge for the American public to find fresh food of adequate quality. We all know we should eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, but many of them are contaminated with pesticides, fungicides, and insecticides. Virtually all chemicals used work by poisoning the nervous system of the pest, meaning they are fat-soluble and able to irritate the lining of your arteries and cross your blood brain barrier. Levels far below what causes cancer are able to initiate metabolic disruption, thyroid dysfunction, and cardiovascular irritation. Tips on Reducing Cell Phone RiskTuesday, April 15, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) It is now clear that cell phones emit radiofrequency radiation into the brain of the user.

How to Prevent Vaccine InjuryWednesday, April 09, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) 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? Is Running Essential for Survival (and good sex)?Sunday, March 09, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) 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...
