This is our 25th anniversary year, and with our new July/August 2016 issue we present a seminal piece by Bruce Fife, ND, showing that coconut ketones can protect eyes from damage at the cellular level. Functional medicine practitioner Alvin Dannenberg, DDS, in “Eat Better, Live Better, Feel Better,” explains how diet and lifestyle factors can have a greater influence than genetics on our health. Larry Altshuler, MD, points out that the level of opiate use for pain management in the US is problematic, and he offers safer alternatives. Bill Asenjo, PhD, suggests the struggle that many alcoholics experience when attempting to quit drinking is rarely from a lack of will power, but rather caused by an imbalance of nutrients; he showcases Joan Larson’s nutritional protocol. In “Luscious Lavender,” Michelle Schofforo Cook, PhD, recommends using lavender to alleviate many conditions, such as depression, and includes a recipe for skin lotion that can help repel insects. Shannon McRae, PhD outlines several case histories that illustrate how the power of forgiveness can help heal the body. In “Awakening Through Silence,” Michael Linenberger says his practice of awareness through silence has greatly benefited his life, including that he gets more work done in less time. We present all of this and a plethora of scintillating research notes that will pique your interest.
