Insufficient blood levels of vitamin D may be associated with the accumulation of fat in muscle tissue, leading to lower muscle strength, says a new study.

Nutritional Program for Fasting
Fasting is the single greatest natural healing therapy. It is nature’s ancient, universal "remedy" for many problems. Animals instinctively fast when ill.

My stagnant energies began flowing, and I became more creative and vitally alive.

Cancer prevention study or study designed to prevent vitamin sales?
Of course 3 vitamin pills won't reduce the risk of cancer. Is this their best shot at natural cancer prevention? It's amazing that they continue to persist with this sort of trial considering the available evidence, both published and clinical.
