Optimal Oral Health Reduces Degenerative Diseases
A new probiotic lozenge could have a tremendous impact in protecting our gums and teeth. Featuring two unique strains of friendly bacteria found naturally in the mouth, it out-competes harmful bacteria from colonizing the mouth, while protecting the immune system and inhibiting inflammation throughout the body.
B6 Vitamers:
Most people are unaware of a deadly process called glycation that slowly destroys their body’s proteins and lipid cell membranes. Pyridoxamine is a safe and effective anti-glycation nutrient, but the FDA has banned it. Fortunately, pyridoxal-5’-phosphate provides similar benefits and is even better at inhibiting lipid glycation.
Psychodermatology:
Skin protection is not just about applying sun blocks and moisturizers. Internally, stress can also age skin via overproduction of hormones like cortisol. To combat these multiple threats, a new oral supplement suppresses the skin-damaging effects inflicted by stress and blocks the absorption of harmful UV rays to protect skin from the inside out.
Integrative Cancer Care at The Block Center
Scientific studies document effective ways for conventional cancer therapies to be administered. Yet too many patients are placed on an assembly line that fails to take advantage of molecular and gene-based targeting that enhances the ability of conventional and natural therapies to eradicate metastatic lesions. Here, we review how this integrative approach is giving patients a survivor’s edge against cancer.

Complete remission from cancer is rarely synonymous with a cure without proper follow-up care. In his new book, Life Over Cancer, Dr. Keith Block, a widely regarded integrative cancer specialist in the US, explains how a unique treatment program for cancer reduces toxic side effects while more efficiently reversing the course of the disease.

Find out what you can do to protest this inappropriate action against pyridoxamine.
