Reseting HPA levels has been extremely tough it took me two years in the past and using stimulants (after adrenals had rested enough) but too much substance abuse later on and an…

Lyme disease is a chronic inflammatory condition caused when a certain type of bacteria, called Borrelia burgdoferi, is transmitted by the bite of a deer tick or black-legged tick.  Other common infections transmitted by ticks—notably Babesia, Bartonella and Ehrlichia—will very often contribute to the severity of the condition. Although Lyme disease is easily treated in its early stages, the condition is difficult to…

When we last left our friend, Nancy, she was living the dream… drinking acidic beverages & eating acidic foods; like they weren’t going to make them again. She’s paying for all of this debauchery, friends; Nancy just had her yearly physical, and the numbers didn’t look promising! Her blood pressure rising… check. High cholesterol… check. Endocrine values askew… check. Nancy talking to her doctor about her low-energy, achy-joint, bad moods, migraine-suffering state of life… check, check,…

We have acid all around us. We’ve got acid rain, acid reflux, and acid rock. There’s acidophilus, antacids, and acidic comments.

These acids, when left unchecked, can bring about an…

That being said, let’s continue skipping down the path of magnesium enlightenment.

I used the term enlightenment for…

Have you ever heard the question, “what’s the matter with you, do you have rocks in your head?” I must admit that as a kid, I heard that more than once. I was a little “day dreamy”, and often lacked complete focus on what I was doing at the time. Happily, most of that focus problem has subsided (please don’t ask my wife!). The good thing is, however, I still have rocks in my head…and so do you. Without them, our brains couldn’t form a thought. They’re called minerals and without them, we…
