Almost every lifestyle disease today is affected by chronic inflammation. Some researchers would say that if you can eliminate chronic inflammation, then you can significantly reduce all diseases.

If this is true, then the question is:

How Do You Get Relief From Chronic Inflammation?

And more importantly:

How Do You Prevent Chronic Inflammation?

To understand the answer to both the “relief of” and “prevention of” chronic inflammation you need to understand the eicosanoid pathway.

Just as there is an endothelial pathway for the creation of nitric oxide for improved cardiovascular health. There is also an eisocanoid pathway that significantly influences inflammation in your body.

Your microbiome impacts weight loss! That statement is true.

And this blog post will help you understand how you can change your microbiome to increase your probability to lose fat and maintain a healthy weight.

Now before I help you understand how your microbiome impacts weight loss I’d like to ask you the following questions:

Have you struggled with your weight?

Have you tried numerous diets were you’ve lost weight, but then ended up regaining those pounds and more?

Have you given up?

If you answered “Yes” to any of these questions, or if you’ve struggled with your weight in other ways, then you need to read this post. Or watch the video that I’ve produced to help you better understand how your microbiome impacts weight loss.

addressing weight management issues

improving your energy

decreasing abdominal distress

and reducing the potential for a wide range of autoimmune diseases.

All by effectively changing your gut microbiome.

Now in part one of this series I introduce you to the 3 E’s:

Eliminate Dysbiosis
Eliminate Leaky Gut
Eliminate Inflammation

If you missed this blog post on the 3 E’s, then click here to either read the post or watch the video..

It’s these 3 conditions that you have to address. If you address them properly, then you’ll experience a tremendous shift in your overall health.

To accomplish this we recommend the following 4 R’s:

Remove Foods and Factors That Damage Your Gut
Replace With Healing Foods
Repair With Specific Supplements
Rebalance With Prebiotics and Probiotics

And you can gain this knowledge in one of two ways. Either as a video, which is posted below.

Or as a blog article, which you’ll find after the video. This allows you to choose the method of communication that works best for you. Read More →

Pomegranate Extract For Cancer Prevention

Posted by Dan Hammer //

I’m a big believer in pomegranate extract for improved nitric oxide production. Resent studies have now shown pomegranate extract for cancer prevention.

Researchers are discovering how the bioactive compounds in pomegranate can help stop cancer in multiple ways like:

Protecting against initial DNA mutations.

Impeding the spread of existing cancers.

And the beauty of pomegranate extract for cancer prevention is that all of this plant (fruit, skin, and seeds) are rich in protect compounds called polyphenols. Especially the polyphenols called tannins and flavonoids.

As researchers have examined pomegranate fruit extract the following observations have been noted: Read More →

CoQ10 For Heart Health

Posted by Dan Hammer //

06/01/2018

With the increase use of statin drugs there has been an increased need for CoQ10 for heart health.

I just recently did a presentation on a natural way to low cholesterol. In that presentation I examined the medical communities’ use of statin drugs to lower cholesterol. And two very clear issues presented themselves:

Statin drugs interfere with your liver’s ability to create CoQ10, which then reduces CoQ10 levels in the body.

There is a direct correlation with the increase use of statin drugs and an increase in congestive heart failure.

This increase in congestive heart failure would make sense since CoQ10 is a necessary component for cellular energy.

In a large study of older adults with heart failure issues, it was clearly noted that those with CoQ10 levels below a certain threshold were twice as likely to die when compared to those who had CoQ10 levels above that threshold. Read More →

A Natural Treatment for Osteoarthritis

Posted by Dan Hammer //

Finally there looks to be an effective and natural treatment for osteoarthritis. It’s estimated that 27 million Americans or 12% of the adult population has some degree of osteoarthritis. And for those who are over the age of 60, you most likely have some degree of this disease, although the severity can vary.

If you have osteoarthritis, then it effects joint mobility, which induces varies degrees of pain while diminishing the quality of your life.

And the unfortunate reality of current drugs is that they’re primarily aimed at pain relief. Not addressing the root cause, which for most is loss of joint cartilage leading to inflammation and bone loss. Additionally, these drugs are only about 50% effective in addressing pain symptoms.

However, there is a new study from the scientists at Central Michigan University that shows how two botanical extracts can be a natural treatment for osteoarthritis. There are:

Cutch Tree Extract (Acacia catechu)

White Mulberry Extract (Morus alba)

We’ll examine their study in more detail below. But a quick overview shows that these plant extracts reduce cartilage damage while suppressing pain and inflammation. Read More →

Mainstream Medicine Finally Gets It Regarding Cardiovascular Disease

Posted by Dan Hammer //

05/15/2018

For decades mainstream medicine claimed that your diet played no role in your risk for cardiovascular disease. Thankfully, that has changed.

Back in 1959 when heart attacks reached epidemic levels, the FDA refused to allow claims that diet affected cardiovascular disease. Below is one of the warnings published in 1959 by the FDA making it illegal to claim any type of benefit from a healthier diet:

“The advisability of making extensive changes in the nature of the dietary fat intake of the people of this country has not been demonstrated.

It is therefore the opinion of the Food and Drug Administration that any claim, direct or implied, in the labeling of fats and oils or other fatty substances offered to the general public that they will prevent, mitigate or cure diseases of the heart or arteries is false or misleading, and constitutes misbranding within the meaning of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act.”

Federal Register – December 12, 1959 and reaffirmed by the FDA on May 18, 1965

Fast forward to 2017 when the Journal of the American Medical Association released new guidelines as it applies to diet and cardiovascular disease. Here are a couple of excerpts: Read More →

Two Promising Approaches to Alzheimer’s Disease

Posted by Dan Hammer //

05/08/2018

Resent medical news shows that there are two promising approaches to Alzheimer’s disease. One is natural and one is chemical. And both show significant developments to warrant further study.

Now before we study how these two promising approaches to Alzheimer’s disease can significant impact cognitive function let’s first try to understand the issue.

Below you will see two images of modern day freeways to help you better understand what’s going on in a normal brain and a brain that is developing Alzheimer’s disease.

The left picture would be like a normal brain where our brain cells use a “transport system” made of fairly straight and parallel “roads” to help move food molecules, nutrients, and metabolic waste into and out of the brain to help it function properly.

And to maintain this “transport system” a healthy brain will use a protein called “tau” to keep these “roads” straight and parallel.

However, in people with Alzheimer’s disease, the protein tau increases to abnormal levels forming harmful structures called tangles. Read More →

Vitamin K1 and K2 – Understanding the Differences

Posted by Dan Hammer //

05/01/2018

Two of the most important but under appreciated nutrients to your health are vitamin K1 and K2. And of these two it’s vitamin K2 that is the most important. So here’s a quick summary of vitamin K1 and K2 before we take a more in depth look at each of them.

Vitamin K1 is crucial for proper blood clotting.

Vitamin K2 is key to preventing arterial calcification.

Statistically the higher your consumption of vitamin K2 the lower your risk for cardiovascular disease, cardiovascular calcification, and dying from cardiovascular disease.

What Are The Key Differences Between Vitamin K1 and K2?

A study was published in 2004 called the Rotterdam Study, which helped to highlight the key differences between vitamin K1 and K2. Here is a summary: Read More →
