Supplementing your diet with herbs, vitamins, minerals and antioxidant-rich food and drink is key to your health. Organic whole food is beneficial in daily meals as well as supplementation. Conventional farming techniques usually add about three minerals to the soil which yields aesthetically pretty produce that can be deficient in the 60+ minerals we need for optimal function. Plants simply cannot absorb and pull out of the soil what is not there.

An average American home contains about 62% toxic chemicals and produces 25 pounds of hazardous waste. This eventually reaches our oceans and rivers. Much of this waste can be attributed to household chemicals. We as consumers have little knowledge because the chemicals are not revealed on labels. Two percent of 72,000 synthetic chemicals since 1945 have been tested. Toxins are stored in the fatty tissue; the brain and breast are prime targets because of their fat content. According to Poison Control, household products and bleach are among the top culprits for more than 3 million poisonings each year. To help keep your home healthy consider using environmentally friendly products. Healthier products are becoming more popular as evidenced when featured on Oprah’s Earth Day show.

Insomnia and other sleep disorders have reached epidemic levels in the west. Nearly 70 million Americans, mostly women, suffer from it. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) includes four main branches: acupuncture, herbal medicine, massage therapy and qi-gong. TCM views almost all sleep disorders as stemming from either a deficiency in qi or from a surplus of qi in body organs, mainly the five yin organs which include the kidneys and heart, indicating a toxicity of mind (toxic emotions) and body (external poisons or pollutants).

While acupuncture, laser and bioelectromagnetic therapies may quickly resolve pain of all kinds, virtually all headaches are preventable. The adage that an ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure really is true. Often all that is necessary to eliminate even chronic headaches is to identify and remove the trigger.

All living cells depend on an adequate supply of water in order to survive and carry out all of life's functions. Every cell in your body is primarily composed of and is surrounded by water; in fact no cells in your body actually touch. Water is required for every bodily function: breathing, digestion, growth, movement, elimination of waste products, heat dissipation, secretion and all glandular functions. Within your body literally thousands of chemical reactions are occurring around the clock without your knowledge.

Marine Phytoplankton are known as the ocean's fundamental food web. Marine phytoplankton consists of an immense variety of single cell plants found in the surface upper zone of the aquatic system. They are microscopic, float and live in the ocean. Phytoplankton have ability to transform inorganic minerals and sea water, natural warmth, and the Earth's sunlight and carbon dioxide into usable vitamins, proteins, amino acids, and carbohydrates, in essence creating food for the global ecosystem. Marine phytoplankton are responsible for creating the majority of our planet's oxygen. Marine phytoplankton nourish the cells completely. Because of photosynthesis our diverse marine biology ocean plants take in both the sea and the sun and produce nutrients. Whales that feed on plankton and krill are known to live up to 200 years.

While most Americans eat way too much of the omega-6 oils found in meats and most vegetable oils, they suffer a relative deficiency of the omega-3 oils, a situation that is associated with an increased risk for heart disease and about sixty other conditions including cancer, arthritis, stroke, high blood pressure, skin diseases, and diabetes. Particularly important to good health are the longer chain omega-3 fatty acids such as eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexanoic acid (DHA) found in fish, especially cold water fish such as salmon, mackerel, herring, and halibut. Although the body can convert alphalinoleic acid, a short chain omega-3 fatty acid, from flaxseed oil it is much more efficient to get them from fish oils. Furthermore, there is evidence that many people have a difficult time converting alphalinoleic acid to EPA and DHA.
