Detoxification: Everything You Need To Know & What To Do Part 1
By Donnie Yance “It doesn’t matter if the water is cold or warm if you’re going to have to wade through it anyway.”– Pierre Teilhard De Chardin I am excited to share this new series on detoxification. It will be the perfect opportunity to do some ‘Spring cleaning’ and will come in 5 parts. Introduction […]
Unlocking the Power of Herbal Medicine through Synergy and Network Pharmacology
“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 In order to deepen our understanding and appreciation for the immense healing value of herbal medicine, it is essential to understand its global impact on biological networks.
What the Latest Research Suggests Regarding Covid-19 Vaccines, and How Adaptogens Come to the Rescue
Before I summarize several recent peer-reviewed scientific papers, I want to highlight a published paper that supports a theory I’ve had from the beginning of the pandemic. My theory, which is increasingly supported by research and observation, is that “frailty” is a much better prognostic factor than age for predicting COVID-19 survival. For example, recent […]
Adaptogens, Bioregulatory Systems Medicine and Network Pharmacology
Have you ever wondered how life on Earth has managed to survive in the midst of volcanos, ice ages and asteroids? The answer is adaptation. Humans are remarkably adaptable. We’ve been able to adjust to almost any condition on the planet, while continuing to thrive as a civilization. Think about this: No other species lives […]
Health Optimization and Adaptogens
Health Optimization and Adaptogens – An Effective Strategy Against Pathogens In general, I am astonished by how little attention is placed on the value and importance of good health in our society. In the face of the current pandemic, with underlying co-morbidities present in an estimated 60% of the population, increasing the risk of death […]
Whose Dietary Supplements Can You Trust and Why?
For more than four decades I’ve been involved in the dietary supplement business, from my humble beginnings working in a natural foods store to creating my own line of the highest quality supplements available on the market. It has been a long, challenging, and educational road. And I understand—from an insider’s viewpoint—just how difficult it […]
Neuroplasticity, Brain Health, Mood and ‘Smarty Plants’
Our brains have the remarkable capacity to adapt and change throughout our lives. This ability to form and reorganize neural pathways in response to learning, experience, injury, disease, or aging is called neuroplasticity. “Everybody can be great, because everybody can serve. You only need a heart full of grace, a soul generated by love.” ~ Dr. […]
Enhancing Cellular Defense Mechanisms with Adaptogens
Enhancing Cellular Defense Mechanisms with Adaptogens Aging is associated with a decrease in adaptive abilities along with increased vulnerability to stress. At the same time, aging is a complex process involving a persistent activation of some stress response systems, often involving transcriptional reprogramming, and the activation of vitagenes, which can be consider a ‘geroprotective’ adaptation.13 […]
Adaptogens – Essential Support for Restoration, Protection, Resilience, and Longevity
In my observation, far too many people today are merely surviving instead of thriving. I attribute most of the erosion of well being and resilience—including the growing prevalence of chronic, degenerative diseases—to the increased stressors of contemporary society. Although the role of stress in disease has long been recognized, it is now more fully understood […]
