Multiple Chemical Sensitivity Syndrome
Multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS) has been described under
various names since the 1940s. Referred to as Environmental
Illness in the late 40's, and Total Allergy Disease in the 21st
century, multiple chemical sensitivity is a syndrome in which
multiple symptoms reportedly occur with low-level chemical
exposure. Several theories have been offered to explain the
cause of MCS, including allergy, toxic effects and neurobiologic
sensitization. There is insufficient scientific evidence to

Hyaluronic Acid - The Natural Face Lift?
In Yuzuri Hara, a village in Japan, ten percent of the
population is 85 or older. Diseases of aging, such as cancer,
diabetes and Alzheimer's, are virtually unknown. People rarely
see a doctor and their skin rarely shows signs of aging. They
live long, healthy active lives.
As reported on the ABC News program 20/20, researchers have
discovered the 'magical' ingredient that appears to keep people
in Yuzuri Hara young. It is hyaluronic acid, which is found
naturally in the carbohydrate foods ...

The Best Kept Secret of Weight Loss
As I watch the infomercials about weight-loss and as I hear
"success stories" about losing weight, it seems like the
definition of "success" is fast weight loss. "I lost 20 pounds
in six weeks." I lost 10 pounds the first week" That sort of
thing. Yet, national figures indicated that 95 percent of us who
lose weight gain it back. If these diets were so "successful,"
why do we gain the weight back?
Research indicates that slower weight loss of a half pound to
two pounds a week and preferably ...

A New Family History
Have you ever felt trapped by your family history?
Many of us were raised by loving, well-meaning parents, many of
whom had very bad health habits. Perhaps our parents smoked
cigarettes, followed unhealthy diets, lived with too much stress
or one of a hundred other things that we know today will rob us
of the quality of our lives.
This thought leads us to the next logical idea ... what type of
family history are we creating for OUR children?
The good news is this. No matter what type of home ...

10 Things You Can Do To Lose Fat Without Even Trying
1. Eat smaller more frequent meals - not only is your metabolism
boosted every time you eat something, your body can more
efficiently process smaller meals. Instead of having 3 large
meals in a day, try to break them up into 5 or 6 smaller meals.

The Atkins Diet - Separating Fact From Fiction
Have you ever wished for a diet where you ate bacon, eggs, red
meat, butter and sausage all day? Surprise! It's not the Atkins
Diet.
The Atkins Diet has been in existence for over 30 years and has
enjoyed a surge in popularity over the last few years.

Diet is simple. Your body prefers to utilize carbohydrates (such
as in grains, cereals, breads, etc.) for energy and will burn
them first prior to body fat. By cutting down ...

How Pain Serves as Your Body's Warning Signal
Pain is like the warning lights on your car's dashboard. It
alerts you to something that needs investigation. Pain serves an
important function. It's your body's way of saying, "Pay
attention."
We all avoid pain. You wouldn't knowingly slam your thumb in the
car door or touch a hot stove. It's human nature to avoid
situations that cause pain, and we do what we can to rid
ourselves of the pain as soon as possible -- such as taking an
aspirin for a minor headache.
When your pain is severe enough, ...

Malnourished!...Even After Eating a Full Plate. Shocking!
This is a concept that you may have difficulty in accepting.
Nonetheless it is one that I have been ‘preaching' for
years and has now been confirmed by studies showing people in
the US, Canada and the UK are amongst the most malnourished in
the world. This is the case in spite of obesity reaching
epidemic proportions in the US. Malnourishment is without doubt
a leading factor in a wide variety of health problems including
cancers. Does this mean that overweight people are eating all

Top 10 Do's For Women With type II Diabetes
It has been observed that women who are diagnosed with Type 2
diabetes are overweight. The exact cause of this type of
diabetes is unclear, but it does appear to be associated with
weight gain. In fact, a sedentary lifestyle, along with poor
dietary habits, popular in the culture today, is among the
explanations for the dramatic increase in the numbers of women
suffering with Type 2 diabetes.
The connection between diet and diabetes is that, if you eat a

The Danger of Curbing Hunger Artificially
Unhealthy eating is a harmful problem in America, and contrary
to a very outdated perception, this harm is not limited to those
who suffer from obesity[1]. In reality, according to the
Directors of Health Promotion and Education, the majority of
Americans exhibit unhealthy eating habits, with just over one in
four women and only one in five men claiming to eat the minimum
five daily servings of vegetables and fruits[i].
In response to this growing wave of American malnutrition, a

Unchaining Yourself from an Unhealthy Food Addiction
The cry of 'I have no willpower!' often emerges from the
consumers who jokingly surrender to their lack of will when it
comes to eating something clearly unhealthy. However, scientific
nutritional research has identified that something much more
serious ' much more dangerous ' is often at work here. For many
people, what they perceive as a harmless lack of willpower is
actually an addiction an addiction to chemicals that the brain
secretes in response to stimulation by certain foods, such ...

Caffeine and Diabetes
Diabetes is a disease that has long plagued patients around the world; yet despite the history and prevalence of the condition, it continues to mystify doctors, researchers and patients. One mystery is the correlation between diabetes and caffeine.

Rediscovering Protein - Corrective Action in the American Diet
Protein must be a part of a healthy diet for a simple reason: it
is essential for life. Every single cell in the human body --
including bones, blood, skin, chemicals, and enzymes -- depend
on protein for effective operation.[i]
