Every week, I have foot massage, walk on the beach, eat salads and whole foods and tried to get adequate sleep. I want to avoid chronic inflammation from parasites, effects of high stress hormones and to prevent cancer and other auto-immune disease. Low stress can mean we work 4 days a week but high stressContinue reading “Parasites, stress, and auto-immune hormone connection”

Bone spurs, free calcium and Dementia
Free calcium can be of the factors that can cause Alzheimer’s diseases and Dementia. In the presence of free or unbound calcium, the absorbable calcium needed by 90% of our cells cannot work to heal our cells and be absorbed by our cells as they are blocked by free calcium.

Why Candida – yeast infection Sufferers Must Avoid Fast Food
There are plenty of other foods that will cause a spike in your blood sugar. For example fruit juice (even the unsweetened kind) is loaded with natural sugars that can feed a Candida overgrowth. And foods like white rice and white pasta are so full of refined starches that you may as well be drinking a can of soda.Jan 13, 2017Continue reading “Why Candida – yeast infection Sufferers Must Avoid Fast Food”
Foods to fight virus and infections
All plants contain antiviral compounds but few foods have been thoroughly tested to confirm how many of these compounds exist in each plant and which viruses they kill. At this time we do not know how the viruses get blocked or killed but in general, we have laboratory study evidence, as well as immune enhancing effects in humans. These foods are also rich in essential nutrients needed for a strong immune system and a healthy liver.
Historical usage also counts; for instance, lemon has long been a cold and flu remedy, and citrus fruits contain 15 different antiviral compounds; lemon leaf having the highest known concentration of antiviral compounds of any plant.
Study reveals role of specific lipids in accelerating or curbing bacterial infection
With the help of mass spectrometry imaging (MSI), researchers showed that specific mammalian lipids could also provide protection against the same infection. Their discovery offers hope for future treatment of vulnerable patients in hospitals or development of preventative treatments for travellers to risk areas in certain parts of the world.
Bust cold, infection and increase your immunity against all pathogens
I visited one of my clients who had to go back to the hospital for infection and brought a juice of orange, pineapple and turmeric. My mom always make a ginger hot drink with only water and fresh ginger.
Nowadays, I use all kinds of herbs to fight infection. Essential oils of lemon grass and eucalyptus are my go to oils.
65 yr old with Pneumonia and C Dif bacteria , pale and cold hands
Yesterday, I visited a client who spent 15 days in the hospital and was again back to ER this morn. Iron and sugar are foods for bacteria. Pineapple fights virus. To cancel iron, whole foods rich in calcium,potassium and magnesium can help such as oranges, coconut water, bananas, pineapple, cooked greens, salmon, nuts and beans.
Trauma and the Gut, Dr PerlMutter
I’m very excited to bring you this research study from my friend Dr. Emeran Mayer. It’s a very intriguing report that demonstrates not only how changes in the gut bacteria correlate with irritable bowel syndrome, but, in addition, how these changes in the gut bacteria correlate with the size of various brain areas… Watch Here RecentContinue reading “Trauma and the Gut, Dr PerlMutter”

Long-term use of proton pump inhibitors is associated with increased microbial product translocation, innate immune activation, and reduced immunologic recovery in patients with chronic HIV-1 infection
Long-term use of proton pump inhibitors is associated with increased microbial product translocation, innate immune activation, and reduced immunologic recovery in patients with chronic HIV-1 infection DOI: https://doi.org/10.1093/cid/cix609 Abstract Background: Translocation of microbial products from the damaged gut causes increased immune activation in HIV. Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) predispose to bacterial overgrowth in the gut.Continue reading “Long-term use of proton pump inhibitors is associated with increased microbial product translocation, innate immune activation, and reduced immunologic recovery in patients with chronic HIV-1 infection”
