Gymnema Sylvestre: Stop those Holiday Cravings

December 14th, 2009 by Paula Gallagher

“Tis the season to be attending holiday parties and trying to abstain from eating the yummy baked goods that are constantly around!  According to a study by the New England Journal of Medicine, the holidays probably account for much of a person’s annual weight gain over the course of a lifetime.  The average American gains one to two pounds from Thanksgiving to New Years.  That doesn’t sound like a lot, does it?  But think about 10 years from now.  That one to two pound weight gain has now turned into 10 to 20 pounds of extra weight around the belly, hips and thighs.

Are You Getting Too Many Vitamins?

December 10th, 2009 by Paula Gallagher

Everyone wonders what vitamins they should be taking.  Even I sometimes wonder if I am overdoing it.  Besides a multi-vitamin, essential fatty acids and some digestive aids, what else should I be taking?

Spectracell Nutrient Analysis can help you determine that.  A simple blood test measures levels of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and other essential micronutrients in your white blood cells (lymphocytes).   This will give nutrient levels over a 4-6 month period (rather than a snapshot  of nutrient intake).  Did you know that the Journal of the American Medical Association connects nutrient deficiencies to disease processes? The best part of the Spectracell test is that it is covered by most health insurance plans.

Introducing Pathway Umckaloabo for Respiratory Support

December 7th, 2009 by Paula Gallagher

Umckaloabo (Pelargonium sidoides) has been popular for years in Europe for the treatment of bronchitis.  Actually, Pelargonium was being used for the treatment of tuberculosis back in the 1920’s and has since been used with success against infections of the sinus, throat and respiratory tract.

Pelargonium sidoides is a member of the geranium family and the alcohol extract of this plant have been found to have a three-way effect:

1. Anti-bacterial: The Umckaloabo extract prevents bacteria from attaching to cells in the mucous membranes.

2. Antiviral effect: Similarly, Umckaloabo prevents viruses from attaching to the mucous membrane cells and stimulates the body’s immune system in such a way that both bacteria and viruses are prevented from multiplying.

3. Expectorant: The extract acts as an expectorant, allowing the body to expel contaminated mucous, making conditions less suitable for the multiplication of the bacteria and viruses.

Another Important Reason to Brush and Floss!

December 4th, 2009 by Margo Gladding

A new study, published in Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers and Prevention, suggests that gum disease can significantly raise the risk of head and neck cancer. Researchers found that people diagnosed with these forms of cancer were much more likely to have chronic gum disease (periodontitis) than people without cancer. Gum disease leads to bone loss and the loss of tissue surrounding the teeth. Each millimeter of bone loss due to gum disease was associated with a more than four times greater risk of head and neck cancer. This study also confirms that chronic inflammation and infection increases the risk of cancer. Continue reading “Another Important Reason to Brush and Floss!”
