A Remarkable New Nutrient for Bone and Joint Health, Part 1
October 13, 2015
Cyplexinol (Ostinol) is an oral Bone Morphogenetic Protein (BMP). It signals mesenchymal stem cells to differentiate into osteoblasts, the cells that build bone. James Scaffidi, CEO and founder of Zycal Bioceuticals, details the research behind Ostinol. How does it bypass the GI tract to deliver bone benefits? How does it promote healing of fractures? What’s the evidence that it’s beneficial for osteoporosis? Do studies support its use for osteoarthritis pain? Do its benefits extend to rheumatoid arthritis? What’s the optimal dosage of Ostinol? How long before users see results? Is it compatible with other bone-building or anti-inflammatory supplements? What about osteoporosis medications? What additional conditions are being explored as targets for Ostinol? Why is it that mainstream doctors haven’t yet embraced this therapy? Click HERE for part 2.

Natural Treatment of Diabetes, Part 1
October 6, 2015
A recent survey found that 50% of adult Americans suffer from diabetes or pre-diabetes. Today we talk to a doctor who is spending his life savings placing ads to educate North Americans and Australians about the diabetes crisis. Dr. John Poothullil, a former pediatric allergist and author of "Eat, Chew, Live," turned his attention to the problem of abnormal blood sugar after discovering, in his early 40s, that he was inexplicably gaining weight and was becoming pre-diabetic. His intensive research led him to challenge orthodox scientific views on the causes of obesity and elevated blood sugar. He has concluded that drug interventions merely address one attribute of the problem—glucose levels—while not necessarily enhancing the health and longevity of patients who seem successfully medicated, but remain at risk. The key to diabetes prevention and reversal, he believes is via diet; exercise and stress reduction play important supporting roles. He explains in understandable form the complex physiology that underlies diabetes, and why a low-carbohydrate diet, not drugs, should be the mainstay of its treatment. Click HERE for part 2.
