Are You Short on Iodine?

Iodine is important to our bodies, and we have an excellent source right here at our clinic. The Thyroid gland needs iodine to produce the  thyroid hormones, which support a healthy metabolism. The body does not make iodine, so it is must be an essential part of your diet or taken via supplements.  Vegetarians, especially vegans, are particularly at risk for thyroid deficiency.  Too much iodine can also cause problems, and as with most things regarding our health, balance is the key.

NITRIC OXIDE: NATURAL CANCER FIGHTER

We hear a lot about nitric oxide these days, especially on all those commercials about beets.  A recent article, “Is Nitric Oxide a Cancer-Healing Powerhouse?” by Dr. Veronique Desaulniers is instructive, so we summarize it here for our readers. Nitric Oxide (“NO”) is one of the most studied substances out there and is believed to slow and even stop tumor growth. It may well be one of the strongest yet little-known cancer-fighters.

ARTHRITIS: CAN ANYTHING HELP?

What Is the Difference Between Osteoarthritis and Rheumatoid Arthritis? Both OA and RA produce joint pain and inflammation. OA is joint stiffness caused by loss of cartilage between joints due to wear and tear; RA is an autoimmune attack on joints. The Arthritis Foundation (arthritis.org) says there are more than 100 types of arthritis, and it’s the leading cause of disability in America.

Another SUPERFOOD: Sesame

Human clinical research from respected, peer-reviewed journals reveals that simple dietary changes–like eating sesame paste (tahini) daily–can have huge impacts on risk factors for common deadly diseases. Research studies have shown that sesame seeds are a SUPERFOOD! Food can be curative and may help us finally to put the “war against heart disease” (like the failed “war on cancer”) to rest. Think about it: drugs don’t “cure” disease any more than bullets cure war.
