Healthy Carbs Can Help You Lose Weight

By Donnie Yance

Contrary to popular belief, carbohydrates can be powerful allies in your weight loss journey when you understand how to use them properly. There are better carbs and worse carbs, and healthy carbs can actually help you lose weight.

For years, carbohydrates have been villainized in diet culture, portrayed as guaranteed weight-gain culprits. This misconception has been reinforced by the popularity and widely publicized success stories of low-carb approaches like the Atkins and ketogenic diets. However, this oversimplified advice lacks crucial nuance about how carbohydrates actually function in our bodies.

In reality, high-quality carbohydrates, for example from whole grains, play an essential role in fat-burning and metabolic health, and just might be the missing piece in your fitness puzzle.

COVID-19 Infection Triggers An Anti-Tumor Immune Response In Some Cancer Patients. Part 2: Traditional Herbal Medicine- The Immune System’s Secret Weapon

By Donnie Yance

Traditional Herbal Medicine (THM) is very different from using isolated plant compounds. Using isolates to treat cancer is a more allopathic approach and not at all part of a holistic whole-systems model based in THM practice.

THM is based on a concept of whole plants having synergy as well as intelligence (Plant Intelligence). Examples of plant intelligence include key features that involve the ability to problem-solve in a flexible manner, anticipate the future, store memory, learn, communicate, and ultimately, be goal-oriented.¹

Detoxification: Everything you need to know and what to do

Part Four: Lifestyle and Herbs For Detoxification

By Donnie Yance

Life Force and Herbal Medicine

The Life Force, or Vital Force, is an innate energy that exists in all of nature. Plants are made up of highly organized molecules governed by this same Life Force with divine intelligence. Herbal medicine assists healing through the sacred human-to-plant relationship. God and nature have cooperated to create cleansing and nourishing allies throughout the plant kingdom.

Detoxification

We must consider that the creation of the universe had a purpose rather than being a mere result of chance. Plants were among the first settlers on Earth and depended on their adaptability for food and medicine. The plants learned how to convert sunlight into energy. They also learned to generate molecules to protect themselves from pollution, radiation, and predators. These molecules then become protective for us when we consume these foods and herbs.

Human beings and plants are manifestations of creative, divine intelligence, harmoniously connected through a shared vibration. The fact that we breathe the plants’ exhaust (oxygen) and they breathe our exhaust (carbon dioxide) is an example of this harmonic relationship.

What You Need To Know About IV Vitamin C and Cancer Seen Through The Lens Of Mederi-Care

By Donnie Yance

“The noblest foundation for medicine is love. It is love that teaches us the art of healing. Without love true healing can never be born.” – Paracelsus

Intravenous (IV) nutrient therapy, which most often includes vitamins, minerals, and sometimes botanical isolates has become very popular these days. IV vitamin C and cancer is a big topic in the world today. In very specific circumstances IV vitamin therapy can be excellent for people who have digestive disorders that prevent proper absorption of nutrients; however, don’t be fooled into thinking that this is an all-natural holistic medicine. It is extremely invasive, and at the massive pharmacological doses used, I don’t believe it’s good for you. We need to get back to gentle nourishing medicine that supports innate healing in a more unitive way.

“The noblest foundation for medicine is love. It is love that teaches us the art of healing. Without love, true healing can never be born.” – Paracelsus

For thousands of years, medical herbalists in most cultures have utilized the power of whole herbs to promote health and support the body’s innate ability to improve the aging process and promote longevity.

White willow bark (Salix alba) has been used for thousands of years as an anti-inflammatory, antipyretic, and analgesic. The willow tree stands as a powerful symbol in the history of medicine, linked to the discovery of one of the world’s most widely-used drugs: aspirin. This humble tree, with its graceful branches and soothing bark, has played a pivotal role in human health for millennia, offering a fascinating journey from ancient wisdom to modern pharmaceutical breakthroughs.
