Quotes of the Day

When you have a mouth teeming with bad bacteria, no amount of brushing or flossing will get rid of them. In fact, I suggest that flossing may actually aggravate the problem, open up wounds, and even push bacteria into the blood, which could increase the risk for an inflammatory response. This is why I do not think it is safe for anyone with an unhealthy mouth to floss. If you want to floss, I suggest you first ensure your mouth is as healthy as possible and maybe take a salivary test to know your levels of opportunistic mouth pathogens before you begin. [2018] - Ellie Phillips

In the long run, you save money with a higher deductible, even when factoring in the potential for greater out-of-pocket costs to you when you do have a claim.

Don't get carried away with a really high deductible, which can cause financial hardship if you have a claim and lack savings. [2019] - Eric Tyson

We recommend a micronutrient analysis--and a company called SpectraCell Laboratories performs it using patented technology. The next test that we recommend is called the OmegaCheck. It's also a SpectraCell test, but this one will determine your current levels of omega-6 and omega-3. The spectraCell hormone, thyroid, and adrenal test is a specialized blood test that will give you a clear picture of your current hormone functions so that you'll be able to identify areas that may be causing bone loss and work to improve them. All of these SpectraCell tests can be purchased online at SpectraCell.com or at RebuildYourBones.com. Additionally, many forward-thinking physicians also offer these tests to their patients. [2019] - Mira Calton

The longevity benefits associated with nuts (including peanuts) do not appear to extend to peanut butter, perhaps due to the lack of intact cellular structures that deliver a bounty of prebiotic goodness to our friendly gut flora. The healthiest nut, however, is probably walnuts. Not only do they have some of the highest antioxidant and omega-3 levels, but walnuts are the only nuts known to significantly improve artery function, and they beat out others in suppressing cancer cell growth in vitro. [2023] - Michael Greger
