The Power of Food in Health - You Can Stop Gum Disease

-
Often times, when explaining the relationship between food and our health, as someone coming from a veterinary/animal health background, I use wild animals in their natural habitat as a good example of living organisms on their natural diets, and therefore not affected by a variety of health problems which affect humans and domesticated animals living of modified, refined and at tomes unwholesome diets.

I am excited to bring to you the link below, which  takes you to a booklet by Dr. Danenberg, a professional with no veterinary/animal health background, but citing examples of the relationship between humans, domesticated animals and wild animals and their foods with regards to nutrition-related diseases. file:///E:/You%20Can%20Stop%20Gum%20Disease%20-%20eBook.pdf 

Happy reading!

Be the Boss of Your Own Health Through the Nature Cure Approach

-
The concepts of nature cure as a natural health approach was well elucidated in the early 20th Century  by one of the first pioneer authors Henry Lindlahr, in one of his book series  of  nature cure as follows: “ It is vastly more than a system of curing aches and pains; it is a complete revolution in the art and science of living. It is the practical realization and application of all that is good in natural science, philosophy and religion. “The philosophy of Nature Cure is based on sciences dealing with newly discovered or rediscovered natural laws and principles, and with their application to the phenomena of life and death, health, disease and cure”. Use of nature cure as an enabler for being the boss of your own health (taking charge of your own health)  is based on the simplicity of  the nature cure approach as compared to the orthodox medical approach in addressing  health matters.  Lindlahr (1922) argues that nature cure is considered  ...

Why We Need To Supplement Nutrients Intake

  Most of our health care providers including some M.Ds, nutritionists, dieticians, etc believe and/or would want us to believe that we can get adequate nutrients for optimum health through eating a balanced diet. My guess is such beliefs are based on assumptions derived from Dietary Reference Intake values, accepted as science-based by the biomedical community and policy makers. Of course DRI values are so low that it makes sense to believe that you can  meet your nutrient requirement from food intake through eating a variety of foods (given, for example that one orange can provide approx. 65 mg which is within the DRI range for adults). The challenge is: can we achieve optimum health through getting our nutrients from food alone? I argues we don’t, because daily nutrients intake from food alone are ridiculously low ( Hickey and Roberts, 2004), to achieve optimum health. Nutrition is an essential component of our health  and that of any living matter. The science of nutr...

Taking Charge of your Health - Understanding Basics in Philosophy of Health is Key

-
  Ontology  provides us with the insights into the nature of existence of the subject matter of interest, in this case, health, in order for us to get to the depth of reality. The study of health  is the study of life. Health is a natural condition of life. Perfect health is the ideal condition of life. Health cannot be extricated from life, for we cannot talk of health, in nonliving matter. The philosophy of health is, in essence, the philosophy of living matter/life. Natural Health , Holistic Health, or Natural Hygiene is the exploration   of all the elements   and influences upon health we   can examine to improve our   lives. Certain truths and natural   laws apply to all humanity  and all living matter . Natural Health, Natural Hygiene  concerns itself with those principles  (fundamental truths, comprehensive laws or doctrines, tenets) applicable to human life so that we may wisely apply them to our   lives. Animals  ...
