Are You at Risk for Stroke?
By Jennifer Morganti, N.D.
One of the most dreaded health issues
concerning Americans is suffering
physical debilitation or death from stroke, partially because it can happen suddenly and without warning.
Mainstream medicine may say that high cholesterol, diabetes, and
hypertension are the primary risk factors for stroke, but in truth,
there is a deeper cause behind each of these conditions that must
be addressed in order to assess your risk.

Did Holiday Splurges Get to Your Gut?
If you over-indulged in holiday treats
this past season, you may find it's catching up with
you with candida symptoms of gas, bloating, carb craving, yeast
infections, or worse. Intestinal overgrowth of Candida albicans
is an extremely common condition and one that is difficult to
treat. This type of yeast form has long, root-like tentacles that
can penetrate the intestinal wall and destroy the membrane
system. This allows for toxins to leak into the bloodstream,
causing the aforementioned symptoms and aggravating preexisting
conditions. Also, a compromised intestinal wall allows
undigested dietary proteins to absorb, which can cause allergies
and environmental hypersensitivities.

Ivy Calm
By Christine Carlson, CN
Ivy Calm, from Integrative Therapeutics, is made from Ivy extract. It is one of the products that I recommend
to always keep in your natural medicine cabinet. It is great for irritating, stubborn coughs from colds, flu, and
bronchitis. It is also helpful and safe for bronchial asthma. I'm always excited when I find a product that has
a history of safe and beneficial use and has current research to back that up. Ivy Leaf is a traditional herbal
ingredient that has been used for centuries to support respiratory health. And, multiple clinical studies show
Ivy extract to be more effective in lung and bronchial support than cough medicines with synthetic ingredients.

"Lutein and zeaxanthin are carotenoids from our foods that are present
in the highest concentration in the retina. No other place in the body
is higher. And you won't be surprised to learn that as people get older
and get macular degeneration or other eye problems that their levels
go down, as opposed to folks who keep healthful levels in their eyes.
Spinach is a wonderful source of lutein and the most potent form in
supplements I've found is 20 mg Lutein. I think we should all take one
of these a day forever for protection, as well as balancing it with our
other nutrients."
