The QCI – Quantum Coherence Integrator

The QCI is a powerful, bio-energetic, balancing technique that can rapidly re-polarize the whole body to help re-establish its full healing potential. When the bio-field (energy potential) in the body loses coherence due to various causes (such as physical trauma and emotional trauma, nutritional deficiencies, toxicity, infection, etc.,) the internal operating system in the body …...

Forks Over Knives – The Easiest Nutrition Documentary To Watch

If there’s one nutrition documentary that I’ve seen to have a tremendous impact on its viewers, it’s Forks Over Knives. In a nutshell, the underlying message being conveyed is that degenerative diseases that afflict us can be controlled (or even reversed!) by rejecting animal-based and processed foods. Dr. T. Colin Campbell and Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn …...

Enzymes

Enzymes are proteins that catalyze reactions with an organism. Even if you have the best nutritional plan around, and supplement your diet with a host of vitamin supplements, without enzymes, the vitamins will not be absorbed into your system. The best source of enzymes from your diet comes from raw food, eaten in its original state with no processing....

Warming Ginger Tea

I have been using this ginger tea recipe every winter for the last 10 years and it has never failed. Ginger with its warming and immune boosting properties, combined with sage and thyme, work to keep your body in tip top shape to fight off the bugs of the season. I cook my ginger tea plain, with herbs or with my mom's recipe, adding cinnamon and jujubes. ...

Spring into Optimal Health!

Spring is upon us, and the concept of "spring cleaning" our domiciles comes to mind... Chinese medicine associates spring with the liver and gallbladder; both work together as blood cleansers. It's like they've worked to keep our other organs and blood relatively free of toxins all winter, now it's time to clean them out so they can function to their fullest. Liver dysfunction leads to chronic poor health, disease and death....

Happy National Nutrition Month

March is national nutrition month and it is also when the Annual Natural Products Expo takes place in Anaheim. Thousands of “natural” food, beverage, skincare, cleaning products, vitamins and related companies get to together and launch new products and new lines to thousands of retailers, manufacturers and health care professionals.

When I started attending Expo West in 2005, it was new and exciting to see all the “organic” brands I had just learned of and try their new and latest “healthy” product. Year after year, the crowd multiplied and it was evident what would be “in” that year. From soy products to rice products to lentil chips to coconut ice cream and from flax oil to turmeric, you can check out the trend in this industry at these shows.

Antibiotics: A Crisis

“The problem is so serious that it threatens the achievements of modern medicine. A post-antibiotic era—in which common infections and minor injuries can kill—far from being an apocalyptic fantasy, is instead a very real possibility for the twenty-first century.”

InstaCart: The Best New Way to Grocery Shop

It’s an all-too familiar situation for most of us: after a long day at work you’re facing coming home to an empty stomach and and empty fridge. The grocery store sounds like the last place on Earth you’d want to go.

Enter InstaCart. Log on to the website or app and choose from three different stores: here in Los Angeles, our options are Whole Foods, Costco and Ralph’s.

Once you’ve selected the store you’d like to purchase from, you shop away! The costs of food items are set by InstaCart, and are comparable to in-store prices. The website is comprehensive and easy to navigate (thank goodness, since frustration and starvation often can lead to hanger).

Sunscreen: The Problem or the Solution?

Fall is here and the days are getting shorter – and therefore we’re getting less incidental exposure to sunlight. Think that’s good news for you and your skin? Think again.

In “the old days” (100 years ago) people worked predominantly outdoors, exposed to direct sunlight for more than eight hours a day without sunscreen. Skin cancer only effected 1% of the population back then, and the more sunlight they got, the healthier they were. Boy, have times changed. Today, we work predominately indoors and are so fearful of sunlight that we cake on loads of sunscreens to protect ourselves from skin cancer. Yet, more people have gotten skin cancer than ever before. It is the most commonly diagnosed type of cancer today.

New studies are showing that it may be what’s in the sunscreen that’s creating a problem for us.
