The Human Experiment Movie Review (2015) | Roger Ebert

This is a no-frills documentary that interviews people who's medical conditions are believed to be directly related to the chemicals included in our everyday products, many of which are unregulated yet ever-present in our lives. “The Human Experiment” starts out by sketching in the range of these phenomena via interviews with people who’ve had medical problems that are thought to be chemically related and doctors who’ve been studying them. The narrative soon enough turns to the economic and political forces behind the overall situation. Source: The Human Experiment Movie Review (2015) | Roger Ebert

Brain Cancer

In light of Gordon Downie's (lead singer of The Tragically Hip) diagnosis as revealed in May 2016, I'd like to suggest to anyone with this cancer to watch "The Blue Butterfly" for hope and inspiration, and be prepared for the possibility of a long and healthy life... Click here for David Marenger's true story: http://bit.ly/2oNeaZZ I would also advise following the dietary recommendations on this site for cancer as well since there have been some amazing results by following a Ketogenic Diet. Most of us are familiar with the expression "mind over matter" but dismiss it as wishful thinking. Wrong! It is really often miraculous the things our mind can accomplish if we use it in a positive way. It's so much easier to be [...]

Smart Meal Plans for Chronic Inflammation

A great site to help you follow Dr. Seignalet's Hypotoxic Diet as per the information provided by Jacqueline Lagace's book "The End of Pain". Smart Meal plans AGAINST CHRONIC INFLAMMATION A growing body of research suggests that changes in one's diet could alleviate - and in certain cases, even bring an end to - chronic pain and allow people with chronic inflammatory diseases to lead a normal life. This diet, which targets chronic inflammation, is also known as hypotoxic diet. It also shares most aspects of the ancestral or paleolithic diet, except for the presence of grains and legumes, which are excluded from the paleolithic diet.

The End of Pain: How Diet Can Fight Chronic Inflammatory Disease

"The End of Pain" is a very informative book about fighting chronic inflammatory disease through nutrition. It was translated from french and is based on the late Dr. Seignalet's "Hypotoxic Diet". Definitely worth reading if you are a sufferer, especially since the author was motivated to write this book based on her own personal experience. There is some information on this site about the author and the book but the majority of the site is in french. Our diet and inflammatory disease are intimately connected. In The End of Pain, author Jacqueline Lagacé outlines how the “hypotoxic” diet, developed by French physician and medical researcher Dr. Jean Seignalet, helped combat her own inflammatory disease symptoms and ended the accompanying pain, just as it had for [...]
