Detoxification is the real start of true health for life, because only a detoxified body has the potential to heal, prevent or control chronic diseases....

May we all age gracefully and youthfully! After my lecture on the “Underlying Causes of Chronic Diseases” in northern Philippines, I was approached by a 105 year old woman with several questions. Before answering her questions, I asked her, “What is your secret?” She replied, “I eat paksiw (fish and ampalaya) cooked in Ilocos vinegar for breakfast, lunch and supper.”...

Although both proteins and sugars are involved in the process of creating Advanced Glycation End products, sugar, specifically FRUCTOSE, is the true source of the problem. Fructose is an extremely potent pro-inflammatory agent that creates AGEs and speeds up the aging process....

Let us add more years to life and more healthy life to years . . . A close friend from California who was 65 years old weighed 275 pounds, had high blood pressure, frequent attacks of gout, back pain, and had diabetes.
