The decisions we make now may determine whether we have choices later. Our bodies are constantly waging a 24 hour war against a myriad of microbes and toxins that continually try to sabotage our health.

Our day to day survival depends on the state of our immune system.

When it becomes impaired (as it often does), our risk of infections, autoimmune diseases and even cancer significantley increases - but that’s just the tip of the iceburg.

New research strongly suggests that undetected microbes can live in the body for years causing everything from heart disease to obesity.

Poor nutrition, stress, exposure to toxins etc., all hurt immune function.Consequently, diseases can take hold and life span is shortened and you may not even know it’s happening.

Do you ever think about just how important good health really is?

New Wave Of Health From The Sea
By Dr. Zakir Ramazanov, President of National Bioscience Corporation, Warwick, NY

Sea vegetables offer untapped plethora of health benefits.

Much attention has been focused of late on the Asian diet, which appears to contain a wealth of protective health-promoting compounds. An examination of the Asian diet reveals that it is rich in sea vegetables. It should come as no surprise, therefore, that the long recognized traditional health benefits of certain sea vegetables are now being confirmed by modern scientific research.

Seaweed has long been used in the Japanese and Chinese diet. In 600 B.C., Sze Teu wrote in China, “Some algae are a delicacy fit for the most honored guests, even for the King himself.” Some 21 species are used in everyday cooking in Japan, six of them since the eighth century. Seaweed accounts for some 10% of the Japanese diet and seaweed consumption reached an average of 3.5 kg per household in 1973, a 20% increase in 10 years. Most important are nori (Porphyra species), kombu (Laminaria spp.) and wakame (Undaria spp.).

Throughout time there have always been two opposing points of view as to how to maintain good health, or how to regain it after having lost it. This conflict has continued since ancient times … and no doubt will continue well into the future.

One ’side’ believes good health is as a result of outside intervention… drugs, surgery etc. The other ’side’ believes that good health results from living in harmony with natural law… correct nutrition… cleanliness etc.

The ancient Greeks had terms for these two groups of people. As was often the case in those days each group came under the umbrella of a ‘god’. One was ‘Asklepios’… the god of medicine, whose proponents advocated the ‘intervention’ approach. These people were known as ‘Asklepians’.

Those who believed that the secret of good health resulted from living in harmony with nature looked up to ‘Hygeia’… Goddess of health. These people were known as ‘Hygeian’.
