In the long term, the best way to detox is not to avoid eating (although fasting can and is very useful) but to eat foods which will build your organs. Such foods as organ eats are ideal for doing so. However in order to digest this food your gastro-intestinal tract has to be optimum. This is a brief example of how multiple physiological systems are linked in the body. If the digestion isn’t working optimally then detox will be impaired. In this case the digestive system shares common anatomical structures with the elimination system. Everything down to the small intestines are pretty much 100% digestion but in the colon this changes to maybe 70% elimination and 30%...

Here’s a simple eating habit to exercise your ability to maintain blood sugar. Don’t eat for 12-14 hours every day. So if your last meal finishes at 9pm do not eat again until 9am. This stresses your adrenals to maintain your blood sugar level during your “fast”. You’ll find out how able you are to sustain this by your reaction: food hunger pangs? dizziness? irritability? sleep disturbance? If you need to start with smaller time periods then do so and build up slowly. The result is lower but better managed blood sugar levels and less output of unecessary insulin. Drug addiction and blood sugar are interconnected in various ways, especially because addiction can influence metabolic processes and how the body regulates glucose. Here’s a closer look at how drug addiction can impact blood sugar levels and why this relationship is important for both individuals struggling with addiction and health professionals who care for them: Drug Effects on Blood Sugar Regulation Different drugs can influence blood sugar levels in distinct ways, often depending on how they interact with the central nervous system and the body’s metabolic processes: Stimulants (e.g., cocaine, amphetamines): Stimulant drugs often cause spikes in blood sugar levels. They activate the “fight-or-flight” response, releasing adrenaline and other stress hormones like cortisol, which can cause the liver to release stored glucose into the bloodstream, leading to high blood sugar levels. Over time, frequent spikes in blood sugar can lead to insulin resistance, increasing the risk of diabetes. Opioids (e.g., heroin, prescription painkillers): Opioids can lower blood sugar levels, sometimes to dangerous levels, due to their sedative effects. By slowing...

To be fair cancer is not the only disease that has emerged to prominence in these modern times. Heart disease, Diabetes, the auto-immune diseases, and Alzheimers are all far more prevalent than 150 years ago. However there is something special about cancer. It is the one we fear the most. The reason for this is ignorance. We do not properly understand what cancer is. Therefore we fear it all the more. We do not understand what causes cancer and so at the back of our minds there is always the fear: will it strike me? Am I at risk? What follows is a personal view. It’s also one that in its totality (as far as I am aware) you will not read elsewhere. I make no apologies for this. I have been reflecting on this disease for a long time and what follows is the distillation of various previous incarnations of my own understanding. Let’s start with a few statements that broadly define the nature of my theory Cancer is an organism separate from human tissue; it should be regarded and studied as a separate species. The process of dysplasia or cancer-like changes in the cellular function of human tissue is a natural process. It occurs all the time and probably did so since mammalian life began. Mitochondria have been considered as simply the furnace or fuel cell within the human cell but I believe that their role is much more than that and the vulnerability of mitochondria is a key factor in cancer cell formation. The governance of normal cellular function is not the exclusive domain of the...
