Dentistry for kids promote good oral hygiene and your kids will be taught about the importance of maintaining a good oral hygiene. Children dentistry will also teach your kids how many times a day should they brush their teeth and the proper way to do it.

Low estrogen levels in ovarian failure patients found to reduce flares in those with Lupus.  Estrogen can promote inflammation, especially high estrone levels.  It is easy to see how ovarian failure and a drop in estrogen could reduce inflammation and thus autoimmune flares.

Nice review of inflammation originating from the gut.  This article nicely points out the pathway involving PPAR gamma and its anti-inflammatory effects in gut inflammatory conditions such as IBD. This article also specifically discusses natural compounds that activate PPAR gamma and thus reduce inflammation.  Good deep biochemical discussion of how natural therapies reduce inflammation.  

Dr Seyfriend presents his metabolic approach to the treatment of brain cancer.

read to see how pharmaceutical monies control research and "expert opinion".  Expert opinion is open to the highest bidder.  Scientific research is become adulterated to say the least.

Red wine to increase testosterone levels?  According to this study, yes.  How?  By interfering with the elimination through the UGT2B17 detoxification pathway.   Downside of this study is that this is in vitro and not in vivo.

great review on performance physiology.  This article reviews  how VO2 max, lactate threshold, performance VO2, and mitochondria contribute to peak endurance performance.

Great review on how stress effects the neuroimmunoendocrine systems.

This letter to the editor points out how much of "reported science" today is merely propaganda to push $$. This letter points out, scientifically, many of the flawed assumptions and problems with the Gardisil vaccine. Science is about data and evidence. The data and evidence on Gardisil is suspect at best.

IV magnesium shown to be neuroprotective in those at risk for cerebral palsy.  How?  NMDA inhibition.

estrogen receptor beta shown to have anti-inflammatory activity.  How the message is interpreted is just as important as the message itself.

lengthy but extremely thorough explanation of excitotoxicity and Autism.  This is heavily referenced and should be read by all!  A good discussion on how immune stimulation in the developing brain contributes to ASD...hint: vaccines.

This study finds most "western" diseases are the result of environment and only <5% genetic. Evidence is growing that the environment is the largest contributor to disease.  The greatest environment contributor is diet. This is great, because we can change diet...if one wants too. This article also shows are current understanding on how dietary inflammation results in insulin/glucose disruption.

This article describes how important glutamine is as an alternative energy source in Glioblastoma. Cancer is a substrate-level dependent energy production disease. If one disrupts glycolysis as a source of energy, then many cancers will use glutamine through glutaminolysis. The cancer cells will do this through glutamate dehydrogenase and glutamate production. This will increase alpha-ketoglutarate which will then feed the substrate-level phosphorylation through the TCA cycle. This study mentioned that EGCG is a way to naturally inhibit glutamate dehydrogenase.

prescription sleep aids and hypnotics associated with 3 fold increase in death.  Scary thought considering how many use sleep aids today.  First do no harm is suppose to be a physician's moto.

adipose tissue and it's biological activity contribution to cancer risk.  Good review of our current understanding on how adipose tissue increases the favorably of cancer.

Fantastic review of oxidative damage and the CNS.  This is a 2006 review of our understanding of how neurodegeneration occurs through oxidative stress and of course poor detoxification.

great read on the current understanding of how obesity and resultant inflammation disrupts hypothalamic function.

Teaching children to brush and floss is a great step in helping them have healthy teeth and gums. Just as important is taking them to a pediatric dentist on a regular basis. But how many children actually get excited for every visit? Not too many. For many children, a visit to the dentist is associated with a lot of pain and discomfort.
