How Diet and Genes Affect Brain Health

Recent studies show that the brain strives to maintain a steady energy supply over time, a process called “energetic homeostasis.”¹ This balance is important because energy metabolism affects how brain cells work, communicate, and adapt. These changes can influence thinking and memory.

What we eat plays a major role in brain function. Certain foods can have long-term effects on brain health by changing the way brain cells grow and connect. These effects happen through epigenetic regulation, which means that food can change how genes are expressed without changing the DNA itself. Eating the right nutrients helps support energy use in the brain and strengthens connections between neurons, much like exercise does. Research on brain injuries suggests that whole foods and supplements can help reduce damage to brain cells.²

Sound-Vibration-Music-Light and Healing: A Unique and Highly-Effective Healing Modality

By Donnie Yance

I am thrilled to introduce you to The Mederi Center’s new healing room experience, which harnesses the combined therapeutic powers of vibroacoustic therapy, music, and specialized infrared light. If you don’t live near the Center in Ashland, Oregon, you may be able to seek out similar technologies offered at other healing centers.

Good Vibrations

The entire universe resonates with vibrations—some audible, others felt only through our bodies. This fundamental truth forms the foundation of our innovative approach to healing. Though it may seem ephemeral, the power of sound and vibration carries remarkable healing potential.

Beyond their aesthetic beauty, sound waves interact with our bodies at the cellular level, influencing our physical, mental, and emotional well-being. This understanding has led us to develop a comprehensive sound healing program that integrates advanced physics and biological principles to promote holistic health.

The Art of Living: Finding Balance in a Fragmented World

by Donnie Yance

In our hyper-connected yet somehow disconnected modern world, many of us find ourselves longing for something deeper—a sense of wholeness that transcends the fragmentation of daily life. We seek not just physical health, but a harmonious existence that nourishes body, mind, and spirit equally. This integration isn’t just a luxury; it’s increasingly becoming essential for navigating our complex lives with grace and purpose.

The Forgotten Wisdom of Wholeness

Ancient healing traditions from around the world share a common understanding: true wellness emerges when we honor the interconnectedness of our physical, emotional, and spiritual dimensions. From Traditional Chinese Medicine’s concept of qi balance to Franciscan spirituality’s reverence for natural harmony, these wisdom traditions remind us that fragmentation leads to suffering, while integration leads to flourishing.

The Latin root of the word “health” is salvus, which is also the root of “salvation”—suggesting that true healing involves both physical restoration and spiritual wholeness. Similarly, the words “health,” “whole,” and “holy” share linguistic origins, pointing to an ancient understanding that true wellness encompasses far more than the mere absence of disease.

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.
