Regulating our body’s pH or acid:alkaline levels is essential to good health. pH regulation is possibly one of the most under-estimated and misunderstood issues in our physiology, yet it is fundamental to every aspect of human health. You may be familiar with statements like “it’s important to alkalise your body” or “acidity is the cause … Read more

Nutritional genomics has changed the landscape of weight and health management, providing personalised dietary recommendations based on an individual’s unique genetic profile. There are a range of non-invasive DNA tests that identify specific genes linked to the achievement of optimum health, weight management, hormone metabolism and athletic performance. The tests provide the opportunity to personalise … Read more
Metabolic acidosis is a condition in which the body produces too much acid or when the kidneys cannot remove or neutralise acids in the body. Scientists have found that low grade chronic metabolic acidosis is common but often goes undetected because it most often occurs despite normal blood pH and bicarbonate levels. All of us … Read more
Food intolerance is a result of a reaction to a food, beverage, food additive or component found in food that produce symptoms in one or more of the body’s organs and systems, but is not a true allergy. Food intolerance can also be triggered by incomplete digestion of food which may result in poor assimilation … Read more
As a plant, rice is particularly prone to absorbing certain toxic metals from the soil. For the past few years, Mary Lou Guerinot has been keeping watch over experimental fields in southeast Texas, monitoring rice plants as they suck metals and other troublesome elements from the soil. If the fields are flooded in the traditional … Read more
The toxic (heavy metal) element antimony, is a semi-metallic mineral that is a commonly used alloyed with lead in lead-acid batteries and as a fire retardant. Antimony is also used as a stabiliser and catalyst for the production of polyethylene terephthalate, commonly called PET, PETE, PETP or PET-P and is often used in the … Read more
While the health benefits of maintaining an acid/alkaline balance in our diets has been an implored topic, sometimes the maintenance of this balance within our bodies remains unexplored. When a food is ingested, it is metabolized and broken down into molecules, but to keep things a little simpler, let’s say food is broken down into … Read more
A significant amount of scientific research has indicated that the pathogenesis of Autism may begin in foetal life. Further research suggests that mercury and other toxins play a role in the pathogenesis of Autism and other neurological disorders. Extensive research has established that scalp hair element levels are related to human systemic levels. The … Read more
