'Whether it’s for the health benefits, ethical reasons, or environmental concerns; it seems like everyday more and more people are moving towards a whole-food, plant-based diet. But not everyone is convinced. Many people are uncertain whether this way of eating can provide all of the nutrients needed for lasting health.


I am a strong proponent of getting the majority of our nutrition through whole, unrefined, plant foods. I also think that many of the supplements out there on the shelves are not really necessary. I do believe however there can be a few exceptions to the rule.'

'Research has for years linked women's exposure to barbie and photos of skinny supermodels with feelings of inadequacy about their own bodies. Very young girls as young as 4 years old are beginning to think of themselves as needing to be sexy, pretty, skinny and even as sex objects according to several studies of elementary school children.'

Plant Based Radiation Protection: Tulsi

Plant Based Radiation Protection: Tulsi


It's a radioactive world

'Radioactivity is a natural part of our environment and everyone is continually exposed to ionizing radiation from a vast array of natural sources such as the sun and radioactive elements within the earth. However, since Henri Becquerel and Madame Curie first described radioactivity at the turn of last century, humans have continued to concentrate natural radiation sources and use them for medical diagnosis and therapy, food preservation, power generation and the production of nuclear weapons.

Concentrated sources of ionizing radiation are relatively new on earth, yet all living systems have had to deal with low levels of radiation. Thus, many plants contain a range of protective phytochemicals and this protection may be conferred to animals that eat them. Perhaps the most potent plants in this regard are the 'adaptogens' such as tulsi (Ocimum sanctum or holy basil), which confer protection against a wide range of environmental stressors.'

American Council on Science and Health—Are You Making Health Decisions Based on What This Industry Front Group Says?

By | Published Thursday, June 19, 2014



'There are many dozens of industry front groups masquerading as independent information organizations. I've previously published information about several of them, including the International Food Additives Council (IFAC), the Coalition Against Costly Food Labeling Proposition, the Science Media Centre, and Alliance to Feed the Future.

Michele Simon, JD, MPH, policy consultant with Center for Food Safety has also published a report titled: "Best Public Relations Money Can Buy: A Guide to Food Industry Front Groups,"1 which reveals how the food and agricultural industry hide behind friendly-sounding organizations aimed at fooling the public, policymakers, and the media.'

'Every day I encounter people who are sick and tired of feeling sick and tired. They are often the folks who have fallen victim to the mantra "a pill for every ill", or the belief that vaccinations are a fool proof bet to prevent disease; they have been riding on the medication merry-go-round for far too long and they want off. 

I personally would like to see my colleagues making more recommendations on diet, nutritional supplementation, drug induced nutrient depletions, and mind-body medicine. These are core to the history of pharmacy, not the vaccination indoctrination which seems to be the flavor of the day.'
