Sucralose (Splenda) may cause thyroid trouble, weight gain and more problems

Last Saturday on our show, Dr. Frank King discussed that an upset in the P.H.A.T. system is an overlooked cause of weight gain. The “T” of that glandular grouping is the thyroid. It is a gland that is not sufficiently appreciated for its important role in our health. For starters, this little gland in the […]

Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh as gifts of HEALTH

That may sound strange compared to modern baby gifts which might be a diaper genie, a mobile or a stuffed animal. We can view Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh as gifts of HEALTH. Gold, […]

Sugar is sugar is sugar, right? Or is it?

Don’t let the chemical symbol for fructose scare you. I am not in the mood for chemistry class either! By now we have all heard that dietary sugar is of greater concern than dietary fat ever was. But is sugar all the same? The Nutrition Facts panel on food products lumps all sugars into one […]

(Author Nancy Appleton lists over 144 ways sugar is hard on your health.) Health nuts like […]

The science on supplements for powerful immune support continues to build

It is seems apparent that our immune system is affected directly or indirectly (for good or bad) by virtually everything we eat, drink, breathe, put on our skin and certainly by what we think.
