Riboflavin Deficiency
Mitochondria are the energy producing organelles in eukaryotic cells that produce ATP through the process of oxidative phosphorylation. Riboflavin acts as precursor to FMN and FAD which are involved in important regulatory pathways of mitochondria, such as metabolism of amino acids, fatty acids, purines and redox reactions essential for normal cellular growth and development. Mitochondria [...]
Reverse IC with Water Fasting
Water fasting for reversing Interstitial Cystitis (IC) symptoms? Say it isn’t so! As one study suggests: “In rodents, intermittent or periodic fasting protects against diabetes, cancers, heart disease and neurodegeneration, while in humans it helps reduce obesity, hypertension, asthma and rheumatoid arthritis.” Can it help overcome the pain associated with IC and is it right for you?

Exposure to toxins may have detrimental effects on humans and animals, even at low concentrations. Specific probiotic and bacterial strains may have properties that enable them to bind to toxins we are exposed to in our environment, such as food and water. Different strains vary in their ability to bind and detoxify, often times relying [...]
