substances are transformed from raw food products into canned,
boxed, precooked or instant foods, many of the vitamins,
minerals and phytonutrients are lost. In addition, the use of

Blind Science
Scientific proof - it is all we care about. We paid much time
and money to learn this, therefore; it must be more valuable
than anything we can learn with an investment of less time and
money. It justifies the ever spiraling costs of our practice.
This is like saying that a course of instruction in a university
is far more valuable than the regular use of the public library.
That free knowledge can only be worth what we've paid for it.
Western scientific medicine has taken this arrogant ...

Prevention
Prevention is a wonderful word that is too little appreciated by
people in North America and many other countries. Just look at
recent news.

advance), earthquakes (better construction in California than
Iran saved lives during similar levels of earth tremors), and
many diseases.
Unfortunately, the medical - pharmacology complex finds it far
more profitable to treat diseases with pills and "procedures"
(surgery), than to prevent them ...

Cancer - Could a strong immune system be the missing link?
/p>
With billions and billions of dollars going into cancer
research, wouldn't you think there should be very promising
cancer cures available by now? Well...a good case could be made
that the billions of dollars that have been poured into cancer

Rush Limbaugh, Victim, Perp or none of the above? (Part 2)
He reported that overseas pharmacies inform American buyers that
U.S. Customs will not seize shipments of drugs because a
"personal use" policy allows customers to import a limited
supply of drugs. As a result, Law enforcement agencies that try
to manage online pharmacy abuse are finding it a challenge to do
so. (This is true. Read the FDA Regulations and their contrary
policy at http://rxasia.com/import.html ) If the package doesn't

The Ayurvedic Approach to Menopause and Natural Hormone
MENOPAUSE: IT'S ABOUT BALANCE The medical community is quickly

not a disease, but a normal part of life." Hormone "replacement"
therapy (HRT) has become simply hormone "therapy" (HT) in
