The mucosal membranes that cover our skin, sinuses, airways, digestive tracts and many other tissues are critical to our health. Not only do they help protect our bodies from intruders and environmental toxins: They also provide many other critical functions including enabling us to digest our foods and allowing us to breathe. As a result, faulty or damaged mucosal membranes provide the root for many serious health conditions, including allergies, asthma, COPD, GERD and others. The author illustrates the science behind our mucosal membranes with clarity: how they are involved in disease, how they can become damaged, and what we can do to repair them and keep them healthy.

For many years, the digestive disorder called leaky gut syndrome has been described. Yet leaky gut was dismissed by conventional medicine as anecdotal and those who proposed it were labeled heretics. Is leaky gut real? Is there any hard scientific evidence? And if it is real, can it be diagnosed? And will reversing it offer any help to the millions who suffer from digestive ailments and inflammatory disorders? Going beyond the nebulous descriptions of the condition, leaky gut is finally clarified scientifically: What causes it, how it can be diagnosed, and the many disorders it has been linked to. This text will help physicians and their patients clearly understand the true disorder called leaky gut, and gain the tools to diagnose and even reverse it.

Understanding how our probiotics work and how they help prevent disease is critical to our ability to stay healthy. This book condenses and simplifies the science gathered from over 600 research studies to communicate precisely what probiotics are, how they boost our immunity and the many diseases they help prevent. Probiotics Simplified also describes each major probiotic species and its accumulated research over the past fifty years. Here we will learn how to chose and supplement probiotics, how to consume the right prebiotics and even recipes for making some of the many traditional probiotic foods. Note: this simplified version has been drawn largely from the author's previous work, "Probiotics-Protection Against Infection" and thus contains some content duplications.

Our body's immune system has not been that well understood to date. While immunity has been the focus of medical study from a disease perspective, many of its functional characteristics have eluded scientists. This is evidenced by the fact that many infections are becoming resistant to many drugs - and numerous bacteria and viruses are now multi-drug resistant. Here, in a groundbreaking compendium of the latest immunity research, the author reveals our immune system in a way that has vast implications for global and personal wellness. The vibrant, dynamic nature of our immune system is documented in detail, showing the interplay between immune cells, cytokines, immunoglobulins, probiotics and the many other immune system components that help us fight off colds, flu, infections, chronic fatigue and other diseases. The author - a California Naturopath and board certified Alternative Medical Practitioner - then unveils a host of natural strategies, including probiotics, diet, herbs and lifestyle factors, while referencing hundreds of clinical studies proving their ability to supercharge our immune system and help our bodies fight disease.

The Ancestors Diet settles the debate regarding the foods the earliest humans ate and what our bodies were designed to eat with scientific rigor and practical wisdom, drawing from evidence from over two thousand studies and research papers. The evidence illustrates the diet humans were genetically and metabolically designed to eat also happens to be the healthiest, most delicious and colorful diet, along with being one of the least restrictive diets. The Ancestors Diet also happens to be the easiest, safest and most scientifically-proven way to lose weight and keep the weight off. Included in the book are the surprising answers to gluten sensitivity, dairy and other controversial food topics. And the Ancestors Diet is the diet scientifically proven to extend life and reduce the incidence of numerous conditions including heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, asthma, dementia, digestive disorders, liver diseases and strokes, only to list a few. What else would we expect from the diet our bodies were biologically designed to eat?

Water is our most essential element. Every day we drink it, bathe in it, cook with it and wash with it. What do we know about our water? Where does it come from? Is it clean? Is it healthy? Perhaps it is polluted or toxic. Perhaps what comes out of our faucet is making us sick. Perhaps we are slowly poisoning our bodies. Or perhaps not, depending upon our water source and treatment method. "Pure Water" engages all of these questions and more. Here the latest scientific discoveries about water and its many magical and healing properties are unveiled. Here the latest research on water pollutants and contamination sources are exposed. Here we discover our options for home filtration, the truth about bottled water, and the facts on water treatment. From "Pure Water" we gain clarity regarding the epidemic of dehydration, and discover how to use water to heal and feel better every day.

Our modern technologies are bombarding us with electromagnetic fields (EMFs) now more than ever. Are EMFs really harmful and if so, to what degree? Are all EMFs bad? The EMF controversy has now pitted scientists, action groups and the technology industry into rigid corners. In "Electromagnetic Health," the author clearly and objectively presents the evidence and latest research from a perspective that embraces both the scientific and natural health communities. The entire spectrum of electromagnetic radiation is thoroughly examined, from modern technologies to nature s sources. More importantly, the information provided in "Electromagnetic Health" invokes an entirely new and engaging perspective one that may just change the EMF conversation completely."
