Chlostridium difficiale, commonly known as C.diff is a nasty intestinal infection. It causes diarrhea and is contagious. It has been linked to many health concerns. A number of years ago an episode of the CBC TV show “The Nature of Things”, hosted by Dr. David Suzuki, aired on Clostridium difficiale. The link between C.diff and…
Our good health depends directly on our energy levels. Having optimal levels of energy is necessary for optimal health. Our bodies are made up of cells. Our cells are essentially bags inside of other bags. One class of the little bags inside of bigger bags are “mitochondria”. Mitochondria are the parts of our cells where…
Histamines have function in our bodies as: part of how our immune systems communicate; regulating physiological functions in the gut; and acting as a neurotransmitter for the brain, spinal cord, and uterus. So, we need histamines to function normally. However, when our bodies do not recycle histamines at a normal level, or we consume foods…
Many people suffer with allergies to foods, pets, seasonal pollen, dust, chemicals, and many other immune irritants. Rather than taking antihistamines there is a natural supplement to solve allergic reactions naturally, diamine oxidase. Histamines are a good thing. They are a natural part of the regulation of our immune systems and how well we react…
Four major health issues today are blood sugar dysregulation, uncontrolled weight gain, dysregulation of dietary fats, and intestinal irritation. The first two have been addressed by the very popular pharmaceutical drug Ozempic. Unfortunately taking Ozempic has produced problematic side effects. For people looking for a natural alternative there is Akkermansia. We all have bacteria in…
Diabetes is a health condition where blood sugar levels are uncontrolled and go too high. Blood sugar levels are generally regulated between 3.3 to 6.0 milli moles per litre. When they go above this level sugar will move into and accumulate in areas of the body such as nerves, blood vessel walls, the lens of…
In our bodies blood sugar is energy. Energy to operate our brains, our muscles, and virtually every cell in our bodies. Sugar is not our only energy source, we also get energy from fats and oils. However, the energy we get from sugar molecules is released faster than the energy from fats and oils, and…
We are entering the fall and winter months. Less sunlight, colder temperatures, and generally less outdoor activities all bring health risks. Seasonal infections are inevitable, but can be mitigated. Here is my list of recommended supplements for the cold weather. Vitamin C Vitamin C is an essential nutrient for many parts of our bodies. Connective…
Our bodies are made up of cells. Cells are essentially bags inside of other bags. To live well and function the way we need to have a healthy life, we need to have high levels of cellular energy. Our cellular energy comes from our food, and oxygen is essential for converting food energy into human…
We all know that oxygen is essential for life. Stop breathing and you will have a medical emergency. Oxygen, by its chemical nature, supports the biochemistry of energy in our bodies. No energy, no life. Great energy, a great life. Oxygen is deficient in its chemical structure by two electrons in its atomic outer shell. This…
