The National Pain Report published the results of theirWomen in Pain Survey in September, 2014. Over 2500 women participated in the survey, which asked a series of questions related to their chronic pain.

You’re suffering from chronic pain. It’s not going away. You know you can’t keep living like this. You need help. You seek out a health professional expecting some alleviation from your suffering.

It took two billion years of life on earth for our cells to work out a way to produce enough energy to get beyond being small, solo entities whose main goal was to replicate themselves. Energy is the very essence of life; from acquiring energy-providing molecules to breaking them down and harnessing that energy.

While the dairy industry convinced us that we can be cool like the celebrities with milk mustaches if we consume enough milk, the medical community convinced us that if we didn’t consume enough dairy products our bones would melt.

But if some calcium helps our bones to be strong, would getting more calcium help them be even stronger?

What do osteoporosis and heart disease have in common? 

Besides their overwhelming prevalence and debilitating consequences, they are both directly related to calcium status and perhaps more importantly, the vital calcium handling co-ordinator, vitamin K2. 

Where does one get dietary K2? How do we know if we're deficient? Is it worth taking a vitamin K2 supplement?

Vegetable oils are better termed industrial seed oils since they’re not made from vegetables and an industrial process is required to extract them. When you hear “vegetable oils”, think industrial seed oils, and understand what that means.

How did calcium work its way into our general consciousness as beingone of our best friends, a vital mineral that we could never get enough of?

PQQ, originally named methoxatin, was first identified in bacteria in 1979 as a cofactor for a group of enzymes called dehydrogenases. Since then, it has been studied and found to play an important role in human cells. As our understanding of its effects on the body increases, the benefits are increasingly appreciated.

In the previous post“Why Do Muscles Cause Pain?”, we looked at the muscle alert system which sends graded messages to the brain. It alerts the brain when blood flow has stopped and gradually increases the intensity of the message as time passes.

 want to thank you for your continued support. Without you, none of this would be possible. When you took our supplements, when you shared us with your friends and family, and when you reached out with your kind words and constructive criticisms we took that and laid the foundation for what comes next.

Thanks again for all your love and support. And as always, we'd love to hear from you.

Magnesium lost the celebrity status in medicine that it rightfully deserves when it lost the “Battle of High Blood Pressure” back in the middle of the 20th century. Medical history was written by calcium, the victor, and it’s not pretty. We are all paying for that loss and the cost has been enormous.
