Arthritics and Osteoporosis

If you’re one of those suffering from Osteoporosis, then you have a greater risk of fracturing a bone, often a hip. That’s a one in six chance of hip fracture for women, and that ratio is a greater ratio than the one in nine risk they have in suffering from breast cancer.

Regenerative Medicine: Lasting Pain Relief With Stem Cells, PRP, and Prolotherapy

Stem cell therapy is the most promising and versatile treatment in medicine today. These unique cells have the ability to differentiate, or change into several cell types and help regenerate and repair diseased or damaged areas of the body.

Magnesium: Important in so Many Ways

Magnesium is almost as basic as air and water for healthy living. For those who are ill and magnesium deficient taking magnesium is almost like taking a breath, when one is out of air.

Colostrum: Nature's Perfect Food for Infants and Adults

Colostrum, the pre-milk substance that emerges from the mother's breast following the birth of a newborn, is nature's perfect first food. It is a mixture of immune and growth factors as well as important nutrients, all designed to activate newborn's immune system. Numerous studies show that colostrum and its components continue to exert important biological activities also when given to adults.
