The Dangers of Copper Deficiency and Iron overload
Joseph Mercola Iron and copper are highly interdependent and need to be considered together. Low ferritin is rarely indicative of low iron. In most cases, it’s a sign that copper insufficiency is preventing proper iron recycling. Copper deficiency will down-regulate several genes, including aldose reductase-1 (which plays a crucial role in glucose and fructose metabolism), […]
Is Immunity Debt Real, or Should You Keep Kids in a Bubble?
Joseph Mercola Children who aren’t exposed to germs on a regular basis have different microbiomes than those who are. The microbiome, in turn, plays a decisive role in how well one’s immune system works.

Sound Research: Scientific Innovations Harness Noise and Acoustics for Healing
Hanae Armitage … Heart cells are among the most densely packed in the body — about 100 million fit into a space the size of a sugar cube. The compact structure crams the cells so close together that they can communicate with one another and beat as one lump. For tissue engineers, however, it poses […]
