We know that the terrain is everything when we are talking about the internal environment of the human body. We like to say that the flow of life moves with the flow of electrons. We also know that pH as a measure gives a first level clue about the forces that might be opposing electrical […]

The Shallows; What the Internet is Doing to Our Brains I am behind on reading. This book has been out for a while and I just read it last month. Go get a copy from your library and check it out. The Shallows highlights many things about the neuroplasticity of our brains, not the least

There is a continual stream of news items worthy of awareness that could certainly lead to a lot of discussion. So much so that it is overwhelming at times to see the constant barrage of stories that cause one to just shake their heads in disbelief – at least it’s that way for me. The

It’s 2012! The Mayans who so long ago put their calendar to stone just happened to end it this year. And here we are. So what’s it to be – the end of the world? A time when star ship aliens return to show us the errors of our ways? Or a period of enlightenment

I had been asked “what is it about these raw foodists anyway?” The inference was that they are often the most strict folks where diet is concerned and they tend to be mostly vegetarian or vegan and oftentimes they’re always dealing with a health issue of one sort or another. And horrors again, if they

Nothing brings out commentary more than when one thinks you are attacking their “diet” – almost like attacking a religion. This happened a bit as some read last months newsletter. Sometimes you have to read carefully what I write. For example, last month I started a section with… SPEAKING OF VEGETARIANS…. I had been asked

A lot of email comes in asking questions of all sorts; technical issues, about clients, you name it. Here’s one that I put out as a challenge for an upcoming advanced class. How would you answer this. Think about it. Then if you want to see how I might answer, scroll to the end –

What value is it in learning how the flow system of the body works? Well, what value do you place on health? This work is just about priceless. This was brought home to one family that recently visited a “flow audit” practitioner. This particular family had visited him many months ago. Their daughter was having

In a word, everything. In class we talk about the 19 major and minor minerals in the blood stream which in their right proportions and ratios creates the right environment – and charge – for body processes to occur. But did you know, that it is not just that, it is also the representative left

“I have been a practitioner in the alternative healing field for 13 years and yet I have struggled to find out why I had so much debilitating fatigue. Why did I feel worse when I would go out in the sun? Why did I have constant kidney and bladder infections? Why did I not sleep

I thought it might be appropriate to talk about some items that continually come up in reference to the work that we do as there seems to be some framing issues that people do not quite “get”. First, it’s good to understand that health care as practiced today – being that which is controlled by

Clipped this awhile back from a magazine. Combining high-tech equipment with ancient Chinese acupuncture, Australian researchers have identified a technique that may reduce acid reflux and heartburn by about 40 percent. The Adelaide-based group, headed by Richard Holloway MD found that by placing electrodes on a traditional Chinese acupuncture point they were able to reduce

Last quick post we put in some links to Ray Peat’s website raypeat.com on fats and oils which if you have not been there yet, is mighty good reading. Following that theme, a recent question was asked about anabolic and catabolic states. Fats and oils are a significant factor where these states are concerned, and
