Cabbage family has chlorine for brain and stomach cleansing
CHLORINE – A FEMALE, OXIDIZING AGENT ELEMENT by Dr. Lawrence Wilson Chlorine is a light element and a very important one for fluid balance, production of HCl in the stomach, and the operation of the pituitary gland, as well. It has a valence of +1. However, chlorine in most forms is extremely toxic for the body. It can cause heartContinue reading “Cabbage family has chlorine for brain and stomach cleansing”
Poor bowel control, dementia, low potassium levels and the brain
What to do with lose bowel with someone who has dementia and diabetes? Low potassium levels can cause diarrhea. Email motherhealth@gmail.com if you have an answer as one of our clients have this case.

Alcohol causes gut damage with bacteria entering the blood stream
Eat whole foods or nuts rich in magnesium, potassium and calcium before drinking alcohol late afternoon. Always have protein when drinking. Alcohol facilitates aging. Connie How Alcohol Ruins Your Health By Dr Mercola Acutely, alcohol depresses your central nervous system, which slows down the communication between your brain cells. Your limbic system, which controls emotions,Continue reading “Alcohol causes gut damage with bacteria entering the blood stream”
Potassium rich foods in the afternoon and sodium rich foods in the morning for sleep
Mechanism that Controls When We Sleep and When We Wake Discovered Simple 2-cycle mechanism turns key brain neurons on or off during 24-hour day. Fifteen years ago, an odd mutant fruit fly caught the attention and curiosity of Dr. Ravi Allada, a circadian rhythms expert at Northwestern University, leading the neuroscientist to recently discover howContinue reading “Potassium rich foods in the afternoon and sodium rich foods in the morning for sleep”

Complications of Low Potassium and sodium and magnesium for balance
Watery Diarrhea from virus/bacteria
Acute Diarrhea. Most cases of acute, watery diarrhea are caused byviruses (viral gastroenteritis). The most common ones in children are rotavirus and in adults are norovirus (this is sometimes called “cruise ship diarrhea” due to well publicized epidemics). Bacteria are a common cause of traveler’s diarrhea. By Dr Blanca Ochoa Acute diarrhea is one ofContinue reading “Watery Diarrhea from virus/bacteria”
Decreased bone mineral density (BMD) leads to increased risk of cardiovascular (CV) disease
A study to optimise bone strength and reducing risk of fracture, while at the same time decreasing risk of cardiovascular disease was done by the following team: 1Saint Luke’s Mid America Heart Institute, Kansas City, Missouri, USA 2Cleveland Clinic Foundation, Center for Functional Medicine, Cleveland, Ohio, USA 3Center for Primary Health Care Research, Department of ClinicalContinue reading “Decreased bone mineral density (BMD) leads to increased risk of cardiovascular (CV) disease”
Potassium needs in dogs, cats and humans
Sodium and Potassium Balance The easiest way to throw your sodium-potassium ratio off kilter is by consuming a diet of processed foods, which are notoriously low in potassium while high in sodium. (Processed foods are also loaded with fructose, which is clearly associated with increased heart disease risk, as well as virtually all chronic diseases.)Continue reading “Potassium needs in dogs, cats and humans”

Metabolic pathway provides cues for cancer, aging and health care
In biochemistry, a metabolic pathway is a linked series of chemical reactions occurring within a cell. The reactants, products, and intermediates of an enzymatic reaction are known as metabolites, which are modified by a sequence of chemical reactions catalyzed by enzymes.[1] In a metabolic pathway, the product of one enzyme acts as the substrate forContinue reading “Metabolic pathway provides cues for cancer, aging and health care”
Researchers Discover Sandman’s Role in Sleep Control
Summary: A new study brings researchers one step closer to unlocking the mysteries of sleep. Source: University of Oxford. Oxford University researchers have discovered what causes a switch to flip in our brains and wake us up. The discovery, published in the journal Nature, brings us closer to understanding the mystery of sleep. Sleep isContinue reading “Researchers Discover Sandman’s Role in Sleep Control”
