As reported in [1], it states that: Most supplements do not prevent chronic disease or death, their use is not justified, and they should be avoided. Supplementing the diet of well-nourished adults with (most) mineral or vitamin supplements has no clear benefit and might even be harmful . In this article, we will focus on two popular supplements: Calcium (Ca) Vitamin D (VIT D) To Supplement or Not? My friend and I were discussing " taking supplement or not " [2] and here are his questions: My blood test showed significant VIT D deficiency and my doctor prescribed me 4000 IU of VIT D daily. I've been taking it for 2 yrs. However, I'm not taking any Calcium (Ca) supplement , after some controversy about it was reported. What's your thought about taking Ca? And why with Mg? Is it for cardiovascular protection? I'm also taking daily dose of 85 mg aspirin, which is recommended by my doctor. Vitamin D and Calcium VIT D and ...

It is now widely appreciated that humans did not evolve as a single species, but rather that humans and the microbiomes associated with us have co-evolved as a "super-organism," and that our evolution as a species and the evolution of our associated microbiomes have always been interwined. -William Parker, Duke University When we are born, our body is sterile , meaning our skin, lungs, and intestines don't contain any bacteria at all. When we pass through our mother's birth canal, we are exposed to outside world. Over time our body gets colonized by a diverse and distinct brew of bacterial species determined by genetics and by bacteria surrounding us. The gut is literally at the center of our body and plays a central role in our health, just as our " gut feeling " plays a central role in our instinct. In this article, we will look at gut flora and its links to our health. Gut Flora There are estimated 100 trillion microbes that ...

As early as 1986 there were reports of a connection between multiple sclerosis and chronic exposure to mercury ( Hg ) from dental amalgam fillings. [1] Multiple sclerosis ( MS ) is a kind of autoimmune diseases ( AD ) —immune cells attack your body's own tissues when they should only attack outside invaders. In this article, we will examine more scientific links between Hg and AD . Autoimmune Diseases (AD) Some autoimmune conditions are systematic , meaning that the attack spreads throughout the body to all tissues, as in lupus . Others are organ specific, for example, the affected area can be in: Thyroid Hashimoto's and Graves ' diseases Brain and spinal cord Multiple Sclerosis Skin Vitiligo   and  Scleroderma Blood cells Pernicious Anemia There are more than one hundred different autoimmune conditions . They are all serious chronic diseases with an underlying problem in the immune system (i.e., failure to recognize self ) and similar ...

Recently, I have created two new blogs: Travel to Health Travel to Wellness At the very first day, I have seen quite a bit of traffic visiting my blogs and got me very excited. But, later I have found my excitement was unjustified because those visit traffics are not real. In this article, I will show you which referring sites are good and which are bad (i.e., generated by automated spammers). Blogger Stats vs. Google Analytics For most Google blogs, they usually install a gadget named " Total Pageviews ." This Blogger Stats tracks all page visits. Those counts could be the visits from yourself, other users, search bots or automated spammers (automated spammers also use bots to operate). Bots are the automated computer programs that visit your blog by tracking your content updates. Blogger Stats counts everything which includes bots' visits. So, its counts could be off the mark. As a blog owner, you can also find the visit statistics from Google Anal...

In 1998, the U.K's Department of Health decided that allergens themselves were the problem, and it recommended that infants with allergies in the family avoid known allergenic foods such as peanuts. In 2000, the American Academy of Pediatrics also issued similar guidelines.  However, A study published in the New England Journal of Medicine in 2015 turned all of this on its head—Scientists have found that avoiding peanuts to avoid an allergy is a bad strategy for most. [13] In this article, we will address the following questions: Do allergens themselves cause allergy? How do we become sensitized to allergenic proteins like peanuts? Allergy Prevention Strategy: Early Oral Exposure to Allergens Clearly, if you had an allergy to peanuts, you should avoid them (note that emergency treatment is critical for anaphylaxis) . However, avoidance failed to address the more fundamental question of how you became allergic to begin with. As a matter of fact, after officia...
