Well Being Journal Magazine July/August 2015 Edizione posteriore

Our new July/August 2015 issue features an important article by Alvin Danenberg, DDS, about a protein called Nrf2 that helps genes function in ways that increases antioxidant activities within cells, improves mitochondrial function, and assists with the excretion of organic pollutants and heavy metals—and it’s stimulated by nutrient dense foods. In “Pesticides and Children’s Health,” Andre Leu, president of IFOAM, presents research showing that pesticide exposure is linked to many diseases including cancer; he calls for an end to toxic agricultural practices at least in order to protect children. Sally Norton writes about certain foods, such as almonds and spinach, which, if overused, can be the cause of pain and disease for some individuals. She discusses why and when certain of these foods can be harmful due to their high content of oxalic acid. Then, a wonderful personal story by Bailey O’Brien describes a journey of healing naturally from inoperable melanoma.
