What you might not know about colon cancer

What you might not know about colon cancer

  Back in 1978 (when I was 15 years old) and a mere six months after my father died suddenly, my mother was diagnosed with colon cancer.  I remember being terrified at the prospect of losing both parents within a short time of each other, and colon cancer seemed like such a mystery to me.  Thankfully, it’s no mystery anymore (more on that below), but back then it seemed like anyone was fair game for...

This could be Nature’s perfect nutrient—do you get enough?

This could be Nature’s perfect nutrient—do you get enough?

  A study was conducted by Harvard researchers that established 12 risk factors that were considered to be preventable causes of death.  As you would expect, high blood pressure and smoking were ranked up at the top.  But coming in at a noteworthy number 6 was an Omega-3 fatty acid deficiency!  That may surprise you, but when you look at the many ways Omega-3 fatty acids support your health, it becomes clear that being without...

You can’t live without these--take care of yours

Does this protect you from deadly cancer?

Does this protect you from deadly cancer?

  If there’s one thing I’ve learned in my 60 years (yes, I am that old) it’s that you should always question products marketed for your “health” or to “protect you.”  Vegetable oils and margarine are excellent examples here.    For the last several decades, saturated fats like butter and red meat have been vilified and said to cause heart disease, while unsaturated vegetable oils and margarine have been marketed as heart healthy.  What a crock. ...

Seven ways you may be raising your cancer risk

Seven ways you may be raising your cancer risk

  There are few words that inspire more fear and dread than: CANCER.  I think it’s safe to say that most people wouldn’t cherish the thought of having to face cancer…and would want to do everything they could to avoid having their number come up in the cancer lottery.  Problem is that many people are rolling out the red carpet for our number two killer and don’t even know it!  Here are seven ways that...

Why is life expectancy dropping in the US?

Why is life expectancy dropping in the US?

  According to the CDC, the US currently spends about $3.8 trillion every year on healthcare.  That’s up a shocking 30 percent from the $2.6 trillion we spent back in 2009 (adjusted for inflation).  So why is it that our rates of heart disease, cancer, diabetes, autoimmune conditions and bone/joint disorders are either staying the same or going UP?  With all that money being thrown at healthcare, shouldn’t we be seeing disease rates decreasing?  And...
