REMISSION FROM PARKINSON’S WITHOUT DRUGS?
I was shocked to find out that my high-school friend Roger Long had Young-Onset Parkinson’s. We’re not THAT old!
But I was super-happy to discover that his Parkinson’s is in remission because of his thinking outside the box.
Not only that, but Roger climbed to the top of Mt. Kilimanjaro a few months ago without being on any medication! [Read more…]

Kim Chee
Kim chee is a traditional Korean spicy fermented cabbage dish. Fermented foods are a great way to restore your gut health.
Serves: 32
Prep time: 20 minutes
Source: Peter Berley
Ingredients
- 1 cup apples (peeled and grated)
- 5lb nappa cabbage
- 2 cups carrots (grated)
- 2 bunches scallions (thinly sliced)
- 1lb daikon radish (thinly sliced)
- 4 tablespoons sea salt
- 2 cloves garlic (peeled and left whole)
- 1/2 cup ginger (finely chopped)
- 1 medium onion (chopped coarsely)
- 1-2 tablespoon fish sauce (optional)
- 1 cup dried Korean red pepper flakes or any dried or fresh chilis
Directions
Quarter the cabbages lengthwise and remove their cores. Slice crosswise into 1/2 inch strips. Transfer the cabbage to a bowl along with the grated apple, carrot, scallion and radish. Ad the salt and crush with your hands. Leave the vegetables aside to soften and release their juices, 15-20 minutes.
While the vegetables soften, make the spice blend: combine the garlic, ginger, onion and fish sauce if using in a blender or food processor and blend to form a puree.
Combine the spice blend with the vegetables; stir in the chilis.
Pack the kim chee into pickling crocks or a PickleMeister and ferment at room temperature for 5-7 days. Refrigerate for up to 6 months.

ANTIBIOTICS LINKED TO ASTHMA
“Children whose mothers took antibiotics while they were pregnant were slightly more likely than other kids to develop asthma.
The results don’t prove that antibiotics caused the higher asthma risk, but they support a current theory that the body’s own “friendly” bacteria have a role in whether a child develops asthma, and antibiotics can disrupt those beneficial bugs.” Read more…

SUGAR AND CHRONIC DISEASES
“A growing body of research suggests that sugar and its nearly chemically identical cousin, HFCS, may very well cause diseases that kill hundreds of thousands of Americans every year, and that these chronic conditions would be far less prevalent if we significantly dialed back our consumption of added sugars.
Big Sugar used Big Tobacco-style tactics to ensure that government agencies would dismiss troubling health claims against their products. This decades-long effort to stack the scientific deck is why, today, the USDA’s dietary guidelines only speak of sugar in vague generalities.” Read more…
