Researchers from Kungalv’s Hospital in Sweden find that having a Paleolithic-type of diet, which typically includes foods that could be obtained by hunting and gathering in the past, has led to the development of mild … Continue reading Paleo diet may lead to iodine deficiency: Are you at risk?
Resveratrol Found to Halt Growth of Pancreatic Cancer Cells
Recent research suggests that the antioxidant resveratrol, which naturally occurs in grape skins, can weaken pancreatic cancer cells and increase their vulnerability to chemotherapy. "Resveratrol seems to have a therapeutic gain by making tumor cells more sensitive to radiation and making normal tissue less sensitive," said lead researcher Paul Okunieff, chief of radiation oncology at … Continue reading Resveratrol Found to Halt Growth of Pancreatic Cancer Cells

Why Buy AOX
There’s a big difference in natural and artificial alkaline drinking systems, and this is what makes AOX stand out from the usual alkaline ionizers. Traditional water ionizers use electricity to create a chemical change to produce artificial alkaline water – which results in generating acidic waste and emits damaging radiation. By contrast, there are numerous … Continue reading Why Buy AOX
