phoenixnutritionals.com (CLICK HERE) There are many potential complications from diabetes, including neuropathy, amputations, increased cardiovascular risks, kidney damage, cholesterol elevation and heart attacks. Neuropathy is the destruction of nerve endings, mostly in the hands and feet leading to numbness. Over time circulation may be impaired, reducing the bodys ability to heal wounds of the extremities. This circulation damage can systemic, affecting the entire arterial and venal systems. One of the most damaging diabetes side effects is to the kidneys. Over time, elevated blood sugar and insulin levels can damage kidneys beyond repair. The majority of amputations performed in all hospitals are directly related to diabetes. Diabetes so damages the circulation that even the smallest wounds can fail to heal, leading to amputations. Almost every diabetic has problems with cholesterol elevation. This is due to the diseases effect on the liver. Elevated cholesterol and diabetes is caused when the liver becomes toxic, from free radicals, and can no longer regulate cholesterol levels. Type II diabetics are also at a much higher risk for heart attacks. All of these complications can be greatly reduced or even eliminated by gaining control over blood sugar and insulin levels. The symptoms revolving around both diabetes and hypoglycemia are often referred to as syndrome X. These include elevated cholesterol, blood pressure, and often a severe overweight situation.

candidaclinic.org (CLICK HERE) We are all too familiar with inflammation when it comes to an acute injury such as a sprain. Those suffering from chronic conditions such as arthritis and other joint and connective tissue problems know the very real pain and discomfort from ongoing inflammation. What most of us may not know however, is that inflammation can occur as a result of many diseases and disorders in the body. Many of these conditions produce what is called silent inflammation. In this discussion we will look at inflammation, silent inflammation and the natural inflammation remedies and natural inflammation supplements available to assist the body in better managing inflammatory situations at any level. It seems that the inflammatory related illnesses are on the steady rise. This is likely due to the fact that more people are aging than ever before, but certainly one of the major causes of these pro-inflammatory problems comes from the distinct shift in dietary habits, resulting in a diet much higher in pro-inflammatory agents than in the past. With the fear of saturated fats firmly instilled in everyone, people have switched to vegetable oils in the last decades. Vegetable oils, in general, are very high in Omega 6 fatty acids, which lead to prostaglandins, a very highly pro-inflammatory substance. In fact, the Standard Industrialized Diet now provides 20 times more omega 6 fatty acids and hence 20 times more prostaglandins than our diets of 60 years ago. The …

phoenixnutritionals.com (CLICK HERE) People have recognized the benefits of detoxifying the body from poisons and wastes for many centuries. Each ancient culture had their own ways of detoxifying the body through the use of heat, smoke or herbal preparations. Today we recognize even more, the benefits of regular detoxification of the internal human body. We are exposed to tens of thousands of chemical compound in our environment, food, water and even in our homes, every day. Ninety five percent of these chemicals were unknown 30 years ago, meaning that the body has a very hard time to detox from the presence of these unknown chemical compounds. Colonics, the irrigation of the large intestine is fine as far as it goes but colonics cannot detox the liver or the kidneys, two organs that are responsible for handling the vast majority of toxins in the body. Colonics can be helpful, especially in cases of constipation, but detoxification with a total approach to all the organs of elimination is far more effective. Colon cleansing is not as effective unless we also provide a liver cleanse. Cleansing the internal environment of the body is essential for detoxification. Detox programs that include the liver, kidney, bowel, bladder and colon are far more effective that mere colon cleansing alone. Our formula, developed at The Institute of Nutritional Science, addresses all these key organs in one pleasant detoxification program. Detox programs that do not address all the organs of …

phoenixnutritionals.com (CLICK HERE) Dieting seems to be a national past time! At any given time you have millions of people who are trying to succeed at weight loss, yet the vast majority of these people ultimately fail, either quitting or succeeding, only to gain all the lost weight back again and usually some additional pounds. Low calorie diets, touted by the medical profession and dieticians can work for many people, but we all don’t respond to the same diet in the same way. Low carbohydrate diets tend to work much better for some than simply following a low calorie diet. If your body produces excess insulin, a low carbohydrate diet is going to have a much greater change of working than a low calorie program. Weight loss is not always easy, but it can be made easier once you understand how your body handles food. You can take our Weight Management test to determine if your body is more inclined to respond to a low calorie program and a low carbohydrate diet. Dieting will becomes easier and faster when you are on the program that bests matches your body chemistry. If you are under excessive amounts of stress, cortisol, a hormone from the adrenal glands, is produced in excess. Excess cortisol is one major cause for both weight gain and difficulty with weight loss. Cortisol can be controlled in the body by properly nourishing the adrenal glands so that they are not in a state of exhaustion. Cortisol excess causes weight gain primarily around the mid-section of the body …

Under-active thyroid or hypothyroid has become a very common occurrence in society. It is estimated that as many as 5% of the population have a hypothyroid condition and as many as another 5% may be borderline low thyroid. Of all of these people, 80% or 8 out of 10 are women. While we dont know exactly why this is completely, but we do know that hypothyroid is both genetic and hereditary, meaning that it is often passed from one generation to the other, mostly on the maternal side of the bloodlines. In fact, if you are female, and have other females in your family line such as mother, sisters, aunts, grandmother, etc., who have had hypothyroid; your chances are much higher that you too, will develop this condition some time in your life. Hypothyroid or low thyroid can produce a wide variety of symptoms. The most common include Depression, Poor Circulation, Poor Stamina, Low Energy, Dry Hair, Dry Skin, High Cholesterol, Brain Fog, Digestive Disorders, Weight Gain and many others. Since the symptoms of hypothyroid can also be those of other disorders, diagnosing hypothyroid can be elusive. Since the thyroid gland is linked with many other glands and glandular systems within the body, when the thyroid is not functioning properly it can affect other glands and their function as well. One of the main functions of the thyroid is to produce thyroxin or thyroid hormone. This chemical, while performing many functions, is primarily the regulator of the metabolism. A sluggish or …

In spite of dozens of drugs and numerous surgical procedures, heart disease is still the number one cause of death in most industrialized nations. While there are many forms of possible heart disease, the heart attack is the most common and most feared. Heart attacks can also come as a result of several causes, but the most common cause is the slow and steady blockage of arterial blood flow leading away from the heart. This narrowing of the arteries is called atherosclerosis. In theory, if we could reduce or remove the amount of atherosclerotic plaque, we could prevent the majority of heart attacks. This can now be done, in most cases, by safe, all-natural means. The American Dietetics Association has been telling us for decades, that the major cause of heart disease is the high saturated fat diet. This concept has prevented millions of people from preventing heart disease by diverting their attention to a factor that is minimal in the heart disease process. Diet does play a major role in the pathology of heart disease, but its not the saturated fats that are the culprit but rather the oxidized, rancid vegetable oils consumed in extremely high amounts that have led us to the heart disease epidemic. If you wish to follow a truly heart health diet, consider eliminating as many vegetable oils from your diet except for olive oil, which is actually heart healthy. Olive oil is monounsaturated and as such does not oxidize and form free radicals easily. It is the polyunsaturated …

Dr Whiting on Dangerous Drugs. Modern medicine has sadly, become almost totally drug driven. Many of these dangerous drugs are over-prescribed. This has and will continue to cause many problems for patients. Many drugs have dangerous side effects and when combined with other drugs, they can be deadly. Some of the most common drugs that have been or should be removed from the market include the digestive drugs prilosec and nexium. Prilosec and nexium so completely destroy stomach acids that protein digestion and mineral absorption are almost impossible. Prilosc and nexium, among other similar prescription and over the counter ant-acids solve the digestive problem in the worst possible way. Prilosec and nexium destroy natural stomach acids, which in turn prevents the formation of key enzymes needed for the digestion of foods. There are natural alternatives to these dangerous drugs. Athritis drugs such as Celebex remain on the market in spite of the overwhelming evidence that it greatly increases your risk of heart disease and gallbladder disorders. Celebrex, like Vioxx and Bextra, which were removed from the market, should also be gone. Celebrex, Vioxx and Bextra all greatly increase your risk of heart disease and other disorders. Taking Celebrex, Vioxx or Bextra have already caused thousands of potentially deadly health problems. Since there is a natural alternative to drugs like Celebrex, Vioxx and Bextra that can regulate inflammation, the use of these dangerous drugs is …

Recently Oprah Winfrey has stated that at her age, she has become more and more aware of the health issues of older women. In one of several shows dedicated to women’s health issues, Oprah Winfrey hosted the author of the insightful book The Wisdom of Menopause by Dr. Christine Northrop. Dr. Northrop encourages women to learn to enjoy life again by doing at least 5 things that they enjoy doing. She makes the valid point that stress, to excess, can make us sick. Excess stress can alter both the immune system and the body’s inflammatory system. As stress mounts, people find themselves with chronic fatigue, memory problems, and increased incidence of colds, flu and other contagious conditions as a result of a depressed immune system. While Dr Christine Northrop places emphasis on the mind/body connection, which we wholeheartedly agree with, here at The Institute, we address the effects of stress, anxiety and depression on the physiology of the body. In addition to immune suppression, excess stress also increases overall inflammation in the body. Called silent inflammation, this can be the most dangerous of all inflammatory conditions because it can go unnoticed for years. Silent inflammation is at the root of such conditions as low thyroid, heart disease, candida, stress, osteoporosis, elevated cholesterol and other liver related issues, diabetes, and the complications of the menopause. Oprah Winfrey spoke highly of Dr. Northrop’s book, The Wisdom of Menopause and we would …
