Galactose is a vital component of our diets and sadly it is becoming increasingly rare in our processed diets. That means that there is some significant benefit to be obtained from adding it back in the form that the body can metabolise easily. That best form is arabinogalactan which is often derived from the sap of the Larch Tree.

I suffered for 27 years with Acid reflux and for all that time suffered both chronic and acute pain. I was being sick, couldn't sleep properly. I remember one time that even driving around a roundabout i had to stop because I felt so ill. Sometimes the acute pain feels like a heart attack and other times it feels like your stomach is in a vice.
Well it needn't be like that. The solutions are relatively easy and simple.
About 7% of people experience this problem daily
a further 14% have heartburn once a week or more
and 20% percent will experience it once a year or less frequently

We've been told by countless people over countless years that Sugar is bad for us and we've believed it to be a true statement. Sugar is the common name for sucrose and there are few people who would disagree that too much sucrose or sugar is bad for you. Notice that too much is the operative phrase. It might surprise you that sucrose is vital for the brain to work correctly - without it it doesn't work well. For the brain to work well sucrose is necessary. There are many other sugars that are both necessary and healthy.

One of the best indicators of Ageing is level of inflammation in your systems. C-reactive protein (CRP)was originally discovered by Tillett and Francis in 1930 as a substance in the serum of patients with acute inflammation. As inflammation increases so does the level of CRP - it is this CRP that is reduced with both Steroids and Statins (those drugs that reduce Cholesterol)

The odds are that you, or someone you know, has diabetes already or is at risk for developing this disease. Nearly 21 million Americans-or roughly 1 in every 14 people-have diabetes, and many more are at risk (the proportionate figures for the UK are much the same). Of course, if you or someone you love has diabetes, the disorder is about much more than a statistic. It means a new way of life. Eating a meal, planning a vacation, or going for a run requires forethought and planning.
The top medical journal, NEJM in May 2001 proclaimed that in fact one can "cure" type two diabetes with diet and exercise. The dietary modifications were able to reduce the rate of diabetes by nearly 60% and they did that without even understanding some of the most basic foundational truths of food choices. These investigators were absolutely clueless with respect to the influence of grain and sugar restriction on insulin optimization. So if the traditionally recommended low-fat diet can reduce diabetes by 60%, if one uses the modified food choice program you can reduce type two diabetes by well over 95%.

Research into Sickle Cell as recently as 2005 suggests that an inability of red blood cells to relax blood vessels through the release of nitric oxide is a major factor behind the disease's primary symptoms -- including oxygen deprivation and blocked vessels that can lead to pain, clots and stroke. Thus, therapies that restore nitric oxide to blood cells might serve as a useful method for treating the disease, said HHMI researcher Jonathan Stamler, M.D., professor of pulmonary medicine and cardiology at Duke University Medical Center.
The symptoms of sickle cell disease have generally been attributed to the physical obstruction of blood vessels by distorted, or "sickled," and rigid red cells, Stamler said. The new findings, for the first time, implicate abnormal vessel dilation by the red cells themselves in oxygen deficiency. That oxygen deficiency, in turn, may result in sickling and, ultimately, the irreversible obstruction of blood vessels.
