For over 30 years I have been teaching clients the importance of dietary change and nutritional supplements in preventing and, in many cases, reversing chronic disease.
It wasn't until recently, maybe the last 10 years, that we understood that these powerful changes were due to turning good genes on and bad genes off.
This has been referred to as Gene Expression, or in the case of nutritional changes, Nutrigenomics.
I use and teach natural ways to deal with pain and inflammation, protection from the sun from burning without dangerous sunscreens, and have demonstrated reversal of type 2 diabetes in 30 days using only dietary change, in my blogs.
Today I am sharing just a few of these concepts from medical practitioners from around the world.
Share these with the ones you love and help me make more people aware of alternative ways to improve our health and well being.

Dr. Dean Ornish: Your genes are not your fate (2008) ... VIDEO

He is Clinical Professor of Medicine at the University of California, San Francisco.

Nutrigenomics explains omega-3’s immune health benefits...
Omega-3-rich fish oil beneficially affects gene expression, says a new nutrigenomic study that enhances our understanding of the health benefits of omega-3.
The study is said to be the first to show that DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) can affect gene expression to a more anti-atherogenic and anti-inflammatory status.
Lead researcher Lydia Afman told NutraIngredients: “The most exciting finding of this study is the demonstration of less pro-inflammatory gene expression profiles in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) after a 6 months fish oil intervention in a healthy elderly population.”

New Evidence That Chili Pepper Ingredient Fights Fat...

84% of sunscreen products are harmful to health, says alarming EWG study...
For 29 years, the FDA has refused to publish safety standards for sunscreen products. That's nearly three decades of keeping the public in the dark about the extremely harmful, cancer-causing chemicals found in sunscreen products. Any idea why the Food and Drug Administration has taken so long to set safety standards for a product used by over 100 million Americans? If you guessed, "Because the greedy corporations selling the toxic sunscreen products don't want the FDA to study the safety of their products," give yourself a gold star sticker. You got it! The FDA has no interest in protecting the public from cancer-causing personal care products, and that simple fact is made abundantly clear by the FDA's 29-year delay to establish basic safety guidelines.

IP-6 is a Super Nutrient...
With advancing age the human body harbors parasites, accumulates cellular debris, fats, and metallic minerals. In the later years of life accumulated iron and calcium cause tissues in the body to rust and calcify. The liver stores iron. The gall bladder and kidneys develop calcium and iron stones. Heart valves and arteries calcify and become clogged with cholesterol. The brain, retina, and heart amass lipofuscin (ly-po-fusk-in) pigments. Parasites such as H. pylori (bacteria), Candida albicans (yeast), hepatitis, and herpes viruses thrive as the human body begins to store extra iron with advancing age.
The question is how to reverse all of these aging and disease factors. Alternative medicine practitioners often suggest detoxification, liver cleansing, or chelation therapy to remove these elements from tissues. But such efforts are often over-promoted, poorly researched, expensive, or sometimes ineffective. There is a simple, economical, and effective way of ridding the body of all of these undesirable organisms, debris, and metals with advancing age — IP6 rice bran extract.
New research: flavonoid quercetin fights viral infections, protects against chronic lung diseases...
Asthma, cystic fibrosis (CF), and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are serious and even life-threatening conditions. However, these health problems share something with a usually minor infection -- the common cold. The connection?
