Lead may Lead to High Cholesterol
Researchers from the Japanese National Institute of Agrobiological Sciences discovered in working with animals that small quantities of lead induce the genes responsible for creating
the liver enzymes that produce cholesterol. They also found that lead suppresses a gene responsible for
the production of a liver enzyme that breaks down and destroys cholesterol.  If you exercise, eat
really well and your cholesterol is still high, a physician can test you for lead or other toxic metals
that may be present in your body. Seek out a physician who is trained in nutritional and natural medicines. The most accurate tests are done by performing a chelation test.

Upright MRI
An upright or Stand-Up™  MRI has the ability to perform imaging on patients that are standing, sitting, bending or lying down. This type of MRI has identified pathologies that had gone undetected on conventional, lie-down MRI scanners.  What this means in lay person's language is that some things don't show up in the body because of the gravity involved when someone is lying down.  Research shows that the greatest benefit may be for patients who have low back pain or disc degeneration which did not show up on a traditional MRI scan.  For product specific information log onto

Longevity and Real Age Quizs
Our bodies are fabulous and designed to live way beyond 100, but because of our belief systems and the fact that most people don't care for their bodies and health, the average life span for people in the USA is 77. While I don't agree with all of the information, I found 2 surveys that are fun and may provide some insight into your lifestyle.
