The fluid around all your cells is called lymph fluid. It moves waste products through various lymph channels and nodes which have two main outlets (thoracic ducts) on either side of your spine around the shoulder areas of your back. Pressure, stiffness, or pain building up in this region is a sign of lymphatic congestion.Your lymph is more active at...

The outer cells of the inside lining of your GI tract are renewed every 24 hours. Cells several layers deep are renewed every three days. This fast turnover of mucous-producing cells is needed to maintain the structural integrity of the lining of the GI tract. If this natural process of repair is not functioning at an optimal pace then adverse effects of...

Ongoing wear-and-tear, traumatic stress, an injury, an eating disorder, or fighting a chronic illness may induce significant wear-and-tear in the digestive tract, leading to a lack of appetite or generally weak digestive power. It is important to turn this situation around, as the lack of digestive power handicaps important nourishment from getting into...

Multiple systems must gradually start to work better at more or less the same time which translates to more hours in the day when energy is available. Do not try to do too much too fast. As you begin to feel better gradually do more exercise from which you can easily recover. Nutritional strategies can significantly help you improve your response to...

Your menstrual cycle is energy intense. You have to put a steak dinner’s worth of protein onto the wall of your uterus every day. If you don’t eat enough protein, especially the week before your menstrual cycle, then your body will take apart muscle proteins and even the neurotransmitter proteins that keep your mood elevated. A lack of dietary protein is...

A significant new discovery about the importance of cholesterol to nerve and muscle health has just been made. The researchers discovered that cholesterol is vital to the structure of key proteins involved with nerve transmission. The finding is groundbreaking, its implications in the context of widespread high doses of statin drugs in the general...

Researchers at the University of California, San Diego, have provided ground-breaking proof that a natural protein called BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor) can prevent and treat Alzheimer's.

British researchers using state-of-the-art x-ray technology have identified the primary reason blood pressure elevates in the first place. A key regulatory protein that regulates blood pressure, angiotensinogen, is damaged or oxidized by free radicals. This leads to a chain of events that are the source of the elevation of blood pressure. The...

New research has linked the inflammatory compound C-reactive protein (CRP) to a decline in decision-making and cognitive function. Those with the highest levels of CRP had a full decade of extra brain aging. One way to have higher levels of CRP is to be overweight. White adipose tissue generates an inflammatory messenger known as IL-6 which travels...
