Mast cell activation syndrome, or MCAS, is an immunological condition where the mast cells in the body release excessive amounts of chemical mediators such as histamine, leading to symptoms such as hives, flushing, rashes, swelling, low blood pressure, dizziness, brain fog, breathing difficulties, and even anaphylaxis.

MCAS can also impact the digestive system, leading to nausea, diarrhea, constipation, bloating, […]

SPRING INTO SHAPE WITH THE HCG WEIGHT LOSS PROTOCOL
WHAT IS THE HCG DIET? The HCG diet is based on the work of Dr. ATW Simeon, who discovered that the true cause of obesity and being overweight is an abnormally operating hypothalamus. This causes intense and constant hunger, low metabolism, food cravings, and abnormal excess fat storage in problem areas of the body. The HCG protocol combines a strict and specific diet with a small daily amount of the hormone HCG given either sublingually or by injection. This combination […]

Pyrroluria and Your Health
Could pyrrole disorders be holding back your health? Pyrroluria is a condition in which the the body produces excess of pyrroles.

These pyrroles then bind to pyridoxine (B6) and zinc, causing them to be excreted from the body, with deficiency states arising as a result. Pyrroluria creates wide range of symptoms – physical, mental and […]

The more I learned about the IonCleanse by AMD, the more I realize that this product is unlike any […]

Product Spotlight – Black Living Water
Does Your Water Energize You? It’s an unfortunate fact that soil quality these days is sadly lacking in nutrients, especially minerals. In 1992 the official report of the Rio Earth Summit soil study world wide concluded that average mineral levels on agricultural soils had fallen by 72% in Europe, 76% in Asia and 85% in the United States. That means that our food is also mineral depleted. Since minerals are vital to our existence, and are the cofactors to so […]
