Using just water, the results showed that e-cloths removed over 99% of bacteria, locking them away inside the cloths' fibers, where the bacteria stay until the cloths are rinsed. Further test show that, after a rinse with hot water, e-cloth reintroduced just 0.01% of bacteria back onto a sterile surface. Think about that. Wipe over 99% of bacteria off surfaces and wash it away with hot water. The cloth does not cross contaminate. All without any chemicals. And superior results for surfaces. You really should try them and see for yourself. The post 220 – Chemical Free Cleaning Using Just e-cloth and Water – My Interview with Al Coviello appeared first on Health Quest Podcast.

The story of cinnamon as a nutritional supplement is an interesting one. I am always intrigued by the back story of how a supplement comes to be understood and recommended for its health benefits. How is it that we know that cinnamon supports healthy glucose metabolism? How does it work? How well does it work? How much should one take? Are there different forms and quality of cinnamon supplements? These are the topics I will discuss with Jolie Root.

In this interview I will be speaking with Josée Fortin, who is a naturopath from Canada. We will explore one of A Vogels products Molkosan. Molkosan is a prebiotic made from a concentrated whey rich in L+ Lactic Acid. Molkosan is one of Alfred Vogel’s original remedies. Made from whey obtained from organic milk, Molkosan is rich in a substance known as L+ lactic acid which is now known to support the growth of good gut bacteria. In this way, it acts as a prebiotic. It does this by creating the proper and desirable colon pH. Proper pH = happy bacteria which will flourish better. This is different from prebiotic fibers which serve as food for the bacteria. This is more about the environment of the gut. It is also important to note that bad bacteria do not like L+ lactic acid.

Cardiac health is a huge concern. How does one maintain and improve cardiac health? There are many products available to support cardiac health. How does one choose? Look for products that can confirm the benefits through science. Its why I get excited about AGE. Its why I want you to know more about this amazing product. What is Aged Garlic Extract? GarlicMost people think garlic is garlic. Not so. AGE is the only truly odorless garlic supplement. The garlic used is grown organically and cultivated to enhance it's beneficial constituents and for quality standards. The garlic is cleaned and sliced and then aged in stainless steel tanks for up to 20 months. In this process the garlic is changed. The harsh compounds become mild and odorless and are converted to the beneficial natural compounds that are responsible for AGE's unique properties. AGE and it's various constituents have been the subject of over 750 scientific publications around the world including Japan, the U.S., South America and Europe since its

In our interview I will discuss ACF Fast Relief with Lester Burks, Chief Managing Office of Life Line Foods. Life Line Foods is the manufacturer of the Buried Treasure line of liquid supplements. They have about 35 products and we are going to discuss one specialized formula - ACF Fast Relief. ACF Fast Relief is a liquid formula of vitamins, minerals, herbs and silver. It is a product that has been a mainstay in health food stores for decades. It is a liquid that you take four times a day beginning at the first sign of an attack.

In this interview Dr. Pande will discuss some of the issues with probiotics in general. If you are an informed consumer then you know that there are many products that are low quality and low effectiveness that exist in the marketplace. We have discussed these issues in previous podcasts. The solution is to understand the distinctions and seek out high quality products with clinical science to validate their claims. In this case we are discussing the clinical evidence for IBS and Lactospore. Lactospore is also a unique probiotic in the manner in which it protects itself and that it is heat stable. It can even be used in baked goods and still remain viable. That's a first for me. Heat is usually destructive to probiotics. So this is an interesting exploration of a novel probiotic. Dr. Pande explains this very well. The post 215 – Probiotic Support for Irritable Bowel Syndrome – My Interview with Dr. Anurag Pande appeared first on Health Quest Podcast.

Inflammation is not a disease. It is a result of the body's attempt to heal. When we use targeted nutrition, we are giving the body the specific nutrients to facilitate repair. Dr. Jaffe's research has led to our understanding of the role of specific antioxidants for inflammation repair. "Inflammation is like a smoldering fire that eventually eats through the fiber of our being. Because it affects the connective tissue infrastructure upon which our bodies are built, repair deficits can occur in any part of the body that is stressed, lacking in nutrients, or more exposed to toxins. This makes inflammation an underlying co-morbidity for many ills.

Recent studies have shown that DHA is critical for infant brain development. Supplementation with maternal DHA has shown in some studies to improve infant development such as attention span, motor skills and eye-hand coordination. Recommendations for DHA supplementation ranges from 100 to 300 mg. additionally daily. There are numerous supplements available for both mothers and infants. The post 213 – Omega-3 DHA for Mother’s, Infants and Children – My Interview with Jolie Root appeared first on Health Quest Podcast.

In this interview, I will discuss the benefits of Poria Cocos with Mark Kaylor. Poria cocos has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for centuries. It was used to reinforce and balance the effects of other herbs in medicinal formulas, and has been considered a tonic, diuretic, and sedative. Mark is a passionate advocate for the value of natural mushrooms. We have previously discussed Maitake and Lion's Mane mushrooms with Mark and you can listen to those interviews as well here on HealthQuestPodcast.com.

In this interview Natasha will introduce us to the industry adopted probiotic standards. As you examine this issue you will gain the knowledge about how to judge and choose a probiotic. Natasha will explain how and why these standards are important and how consumers can make judgments based on those standards. If consumers don't know what to look for then it is nearly impossible to make an informed choice. This is a challenge for all consumers of nutritional products. We have discussed this several times here at HealthQuestPodcast.com. Until the FDA has corralled the cheaters, consumers must become wary and educated. Good companies with great products are out there. You need to learn the difference. Good companies want to earn your trust because they do everything possible to created safe and effective products. Bad companies, or even careless companies don't care about quality, effectiveness or even safety. The post 211 – How to Read a Probiotic Label – My Interview with Natasha Trenev appeared

Osteoporosis is a disease in which weakening of the bones causes increased risk of fracture. Poor diet, aging, low body weight, low levels of sex hormones (menopause), smoking, and some medications can increase the risk for osteoporosis. According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), Osteoporosis affects over 5.3 million men and women over the age of 50 in the United States. Due to the disease’s prevalence, there has been extensive research. As a result, there have been many studies showing Vitamin K2 as an effective means to help patients re-strengthen their bones. The post 210 – Vitamin K-2 is Critical for Heart and Bone Health – My Interview with Dr. Ralph Holsworth appeared first on Health Quest Podcast.

This interview is largely about the new approach to multi-vitamins. Dr. LowDog and MegaFood worked long and hard to create products that will meet most of your basic nutritional needs. Dr. Erin Stokes will discuss the rationale behind the formulas. The approach is basically this; your multi-vitamin is two per day and is age and gender specific. There is no calcium in the multi-vitamin as calcium is impossible to get in significant amounts in most multis. MegaFood has a separate calcium bone formula that is designed to let you adjust the calcium to your specific needs and to get enough calcium to make a difference in the formula. Separating the multi from the calcium helps ensure you will get the best amount of both.

One of the most significant nutrient for bone health is orthosilicic acid, sold as BioSil. BioSil is a form of silica that has been shown through clinical studies to increase the bodies production of collagen. Collagen is the protein that forms the framework for bones. Collagen provides for flexibility and calcium provides the strength. Bones should be strong and flexible, which helps bone withstand stress. Increasing collagen throughout the body can improve structure throughout the body. BioSil has also been clinically shown to support skin, hair and nails.

After this interview you will understand much more about the benefits of sulforaphane. You will also understand why eating broccoli will not give you the higher levels of sulforaphane needed. You will learn why it is actually the broccoli sprouts that are the best source. You will also learn why making a broccoli supplement is not as easy as it sounds. Broccoli products are not created equal. This interview will help you understand the distinctions between products and what is necessary to create a safe, beneficial and effective product.

The world of probiotic science is growing rapidly. One of the challenges for every consumer is to learn about the science and then to learn how to appropriate this knowledge into an action plan. There is a new book, The Probiotic Cure by Martie Whittekin that will help bring some clarity to the topic. Because this is a complex subject most consumers desire a way to simplify the process and this book can help.

In this interview with Dr. Aimee Shunney, we will discuss her experience with Plus CBD Oil in her clinical practice. I love talking to practitioners because they are the ones on the front line of patient care. Dr. Shunney is the type of doctor we all wish we had. Someone who combines the best of medical and nutritional care. So when someone like Dr. Shunney, who sees many people with common problems related to stress and sleep, states that Plus CBD Oil works better than anything she has previously used, I take notice.

In this interview with Tom, we are going to discuss metabolic enzymes (also known as therapeutic enzymes). I am certain that many less consumers know about or understand this part of the enzyme story. This also surprises me because the research on metabolic enzymes goes back 50 years. I have known about and used some form of enzymes for nearly 40 years and we always have some in our natural medicine chest. I consider them to be a very important adjunct nutrient for pain and inflammation. Metabolic enzymes are those enzymes that are taken for purposes other than digestion. For that reason metabolic enzymes are taken between meals on an empty stomach. The post 204 – What Are Metabolic Enzymes – My Interview with Tom Bohager appeared first on Health Quest Podcast.

When we want to understand the benefits of curcumin we can look to Sabinsa C3 Complex. This particular curcumin extract has 47 clinical studies going back to 1998. This is more than any other curcumin product. In this interview, I am speaking to Dr. Anurag Pande, PhD about these scientific studies using C3 Complex.

What are the clinical uses of PQQ? Given the nutritional importance and tremendous span of physiological effects of PQQ, there are considerable benefits in conditions that revolve around low mitochondrial function including in aging, many brain and neurological disease (e.g., Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease), and many other chronic degenerative disease. Current research has primarily focused on its ability to protect memory and cognition in both aging animals and humans.
