I used to be an osteoporosis screening “hawk”; I fell in line with the conventional wisdom that sussing out premature bone loss with a DEXA bone densitometry was a must for women hitting menopause, when bone loss begins to accelerate.

For years, folks have been using local raw honey to decrease symptoms of seasonal allergies. The mechanism of action is the presence of small amounts of pollen from nearby plants in honey, which help the immune system desensitize to these allergens over time.

Our body possesses a very sophisticated and efficient endogenous detoxification system. A multitude of detoxification processes are working simultaneously, day in and day out, to maintain the body’s homeostasis. This equilibrium is obtained by getting rid of xenobiotics (environmental foreign elements entering the body) and by eliminating the normal waste created by our own bodily functions, mainly through the liver, kidneys, the gastrointestinal tract, as well as through respiration and perspiration.
