General Detox
Glutathione is truly one of the wonders of Nature. This
powerful antioxidant is multifunctional and indispensable to health, longevity,
and even life itself. It is a significant component of our immune system,
without which we could not survive.
It's a string of three amino acids-glutamine, cysteine, and
glycine-and it's…
Glutathione is an extremely
important compound that naturally occurs in the body. Pronounced
"glue-tah-thi-on," glutathione is composed of three amino acids,
namely glycine, glutamic acid, and cysteine.
Research has shown that glutathione
levels decline as we age, and there seems to be a corresponding decline in our
health and…
Our environment is becoming more toxic every day. Thousands
of toxins infiltrate our soils, waters, and air. These chemicals can have a
negative impact on metabolism, enzyme function, hormonal balances, and our
immune system. They're also creating health conditions you might not even
suspect: allergies, skin problems, insomnia, brain…
Footbaths containing electrodes that help detoxify the body?
They've got to be kidding, right? Maybe yes, maybe no. They're gaining in
popularity, for sure. But you have to be careful about this approach.
I've seen many fancy footbaths in the exhibit halls of

Detoxification is a natural function that your body routinely performs. Sweating out toxins during a fever is one example. Liver and kidney functions that regularly filter and release toxins and waste are two more examples. Now, I’d like to focus on a fourth detox system: your lungs.

Picture our planet 3.5 billion years ago, when life was in its infancy. The environment was hardly hospitable. Carbon monoxide, hydrogen, and methane made up the bulk of the atmosphere, and temperatures reached unimaginable extremes. The earliest organisms had to develop protective mechanisms in order to survive and thrive, and…
D-glucarate is a little-known plant compound that I predict you'll be hearing about once the mainstream press catches on. It can be found in some foods-primarily apples, grapefruit, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, lettuce, and bean sprouts-and taken as a supplement. This compound also occurs naturally in the body in very small…
The incidence of breast cancer has increased dramatically over the past two decades. During the 1950s, it was estimated that one out of every 20 Americans would develop this disease. These estimates have been revised many times over the last 40 years as the incidence of breast cancer has skyrocketed.…
I’ve long been a believer that detoxification is essential for good health. Today, it’s more important than ever due to our less-than-optimal environment and often unhealthy lifestyle choices.
Our bodies are constantly bombarded with toxins and stressors, many of which are man-made and relatively new to the human…
