The overuse of prescription insulin is a major problem among type 2 diabetics. Why? Because type 2 diabetes is best defined at the cell level as “insulin resistance”. The function of the insulin receptor is in a state of compromise. Among type 2 diabetics. the use of prescription insulin can have deleterious consequences. It is

Bone broth and collagen supplements are often recommended for healing purposes. While much nutritional benefit may be obtained through bone broth and collagen, there are increasing concerns regarding the toxicity of GMO feeds, the use of glyphosate-containing pesticides on crops, and the inadvertent ingestion of glyphosate through consuming bone broth and collagen supplements or foods.

Ehlers danlos syndrome, commonly referred to as EDS is a vastly under-diagnosed connective tissue disorder in the human population. EDS is classified as having at least 13 different subtypes, and there is much confusion as to the relationship with other connective tissue disorders. The implications for EDS are vast, and extend into areas of immunology, endocrinology, neurology, cardiology, mitochondrial

One of the myoproliferative diseases known as essential thrombocytosis (aka essential thrombocythemia, and essential thrombocythaemia) is a potentially fatal condition that involves the overproduction of blood platelets. New clinical evidence has emerged that shows an assortment of herbal medicines are effective at significantly reducing blood platelets, and with negligible toxicity. What Is Essential Thrombocytosis? Also known

Research on PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome) has been focusing on mechanisms to control insulin resistance, androgen excess and hormonal signaling problems that are characteristic presentations leading to symptoms and complications. Is it possible that isomer forms of the vitamin Inositol are efficacious in PCOS? Research has recently been published demonstrating the effects of myo-inositol (as opposed
