Total Health Breakthroughs: Free Natural Health Newsletter and Alternative Health Articles

Most of you who read Total Health Breakthroughs know that Jim LaValle is a regular contributor to the newsletter and a very important member of our Editorial Advisory Board. Jim is also the Executive Editor of The Healing Prescription, our monthly paid newsletter.

MaryEllen Tribby, my boss and the publisher of both newsletters, credits Jim with restoring her health and saving her from the brink of type 2 diabetes. In fact, that’s the reason that we decided to launch The Healing Prescription. MaryEllen’s recovery was so dramatic, that she knew Jim could help thousands of people just like her if they only listened to his message and regained control of their metabolic health.

I can tell you that I wasn’t disappointed — and neither were the 200 doctors who came from all parts of the US to hear him speak on integrative medicine and clinical nutrition. At one point there were so many questions coming from the audience that Jim had cut them off, saying he would not get through the day’s presentation if he took anymore.

It’s sugar.

Asparagus grows very early in the spring, so the best asparagus is in stores now. Look for firm and plump spears, not wrinkled and dehydrated. This delicate and delicious vegetable is a storehouse of vital nutrients needed for healing and immune boosting.

This light refreshing salad featuring soy or goat’s milk yogurt is a healthy take on an Indian classic.

Forget grandma’s canned version and rediscover the goodness of fresh beets.

The discovery of “leptin” in 1994 created an explosion of interest in the “biology of white adipose tissue” — otherwise known as FAT. You probably remember those photos of seriously obese mice sitting next to their slender littermates — and the only difference between them was that the thin ones had been given this magic [...]

Americans are experiencing a shocking epidemic of health problems from insulin resistance and the Metabolic Syndrome that it leads to. It’s even more shocking that many mainstream doctors are still recommending diets that are making these conditions even worse!
Here’s why. A number of studies over the last few years have shown that lower carb diets [...]

More and more research shows that a diet rich in proteins and healthy fats and complemented by plenty of low-carb vegetables is the healthiest for weight management. When insulin resistance is also a factor in healthy eating, this recipe really fits the bill. Cabbage is an excellent food for weight control and contains compounds that [...]
