Friday, September 14, 2012. Organic", is it worth it? Q: Are organically grown fruits and veggies really healthier to eat? I mean, there's new research recently touted in the mainstream media indicating that their nutrient content isn't better than that in conventionally grown produce. This said, note that the label "organic" is sometimes applied to questionable products, and more so after the USDA got involved in handing it out. There are two major health considerations with all foods:. In a comprehensi...

Friday, December 30, 2011. Example Investigation and Musings on Genetic Destiny. I am working with someone to help him troubleshoot and get rid of his very troublesome health issues, which include fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). Anyway, I wanted to share some tidbits from our investigation of his case. It should be quite interesting because we employed a range of tools (including 23andMe genetic testing) to home in on different problem areas. The non-confirmation here shows one of the bi...

Saturday, October 8, 2011. Cholesterol and CVD Risk in a Nutshell. This is a brief summary of my current understanding about how to interpret cholesterol values as they appear on the blood chemistry panels that's done during regular medical check ups. (I deliberately don't list specific ranges, as this is about the essentials of what I think is a correct perspective.). Elevated total cholesterol in the absence. And associated oxidative stress) is unlikely to contribute to heart disease. In other words, t...

These are some notes from this event about hyper-sensitivity to mold toxins, the importance of genetics and inflammation for mercury toxicity, an online test for neuro-toxin exposure, alpha lipoic acid as a mercury chelator, phytonutrients as epigenetic triggers, and herbal anti-inflammatories in cancer-therapy. /CW. There is a gene. From fungi, bacteria, sp...

Aside from the great variability in individual genetics, I find that the biggest confounder in understanding which practices are healthy or not in a given person is that actual physiology and optimal "inputs" (dietary etc) is a result of present and past stress exposure. And related dysregulation/damage in the body. Formal studies don't tend to take this sort of variability into account, a...

From green tea, resveratrol. From grapes, and silymarin. So how do polyphenols work? This is a different way of action than, for instance, providing essential nutrient...
