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

Before THB launched its paid newsletter, The Healing Prescription last year, we had several opportunities to meet with Jim LaValle, the Executive Editor, and learn more about his alternative health institute and the approach he takes to treat people that mainstream medical practitioners often cannot help.

While Jim had countless examples of how his integrative approach gave a new lease on life to people that had struggled for years with traditional treatments, one story was especially memorable.

Several years ago, a 10-year-old boy named Ryan came to Jim’s institute for treatment. He had recurring bone cancer that had spread to his lungs. Ryan’s doctor had basically given up on him, telling his parents he had less than a year to live. Jim immediately began alternative treatments that included nutritional support and detoxification supplements. The treatment saved Ryan’s life and he is now a healthy teenager whose lung tumors disappeared and never returned.

I recently found out while editing The Healing Prescription about the key nutrient that was able to put Ryan’s lung tumors into remission. It’s called Avemar (Avé in the US) and was developed by Hungarian scientist, Dr. Albert Szent-Györgyi , winner of the 1937 Nobel Prize in Medicine for discovering the essential role of vitamin C in cellular metabolism.¹

As Jim explains in this issue, glucose (sugar) fuels the growth of cancer cells —a fact that is often ignored in mainstream medicine. But the damaging effects don’t stop there. The cancer cells then convert the glucose into lactate which causes acidic stress in the body and rob normal cells of the glucose they need for healthy metabolism.

This is where Avé comes to the rescue. It effectively decreases glucose uptake by cancer cells and helps glucose metabolism return to normal. In the process, cancer cells begin to die, tumor growth slows, and healthy cells can begin to better absorb glucose and other nutrients. Because healthy cells can get more of the nourishment they need, weight loss and muscle wasting, common side effects in cancer patients, begin to slow or even reverse.

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.

Having worked with Jim for over a year now, I knew he was a dynamic public speaker —he lectures frequently throughout the country, has his own radio show, and makes regular guest appearances on TV and radio health programs. So I was really looking forward to seeing him speak at the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine’s (A4M) continuing medical education conference in Boca Raton last week.

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.
