Nourish Is My Choice Of All The Restaurants In Scottsdale

Published May 19, 2013 | By Russ Curran

There are a lot of restaurants in Scottsdale, Arizona for sure but only one passes my checklist for health, nutrition and incredible taste, Nourish!

In the photo here is the owner of Nourish, Kirsten Carey and her Executive Chef, Dan Santos. Kirsten’s path to opening Nourish was certainly not typical, especially considering the quality level of her food which is second to none. She left a successful consulting business to open a non traditional restaurant in a tough economy which usually is a recipe for disaster. Well, I’m happy to report, there are no disasters here as Nourish has a thriving business and growing customer base! Continue reading →

Chris Beat Cancer Just Like My Mom Did

Published April 24, 2013 | By Russ Curran

This story of how Chris Beat Cancer hit me right in the heart as it is almost to a tee how we defeated my mother’s colon cancer.

Watching Chris’s video below took me back 4 years ago when we brought my mother from Boston, MA to Mesa, AZ to begin her integrative alternative cancer treatments. We went to An Oasis Of Healing run by Dr. Thomas Lodi who was a conventional MD from New York who grew tired of watching the devastation of the “cut, burn and poison” method better known as surgery, radiation and chemotherapy. Over the last decade Dr. Lodi has helped healed people at the root cause of their illness rather than treating only their symptoms.

The body is designed to heal itself, we need to support that natural healing and stay out of the way. Surgery causes the cancer to spread, radiation and chemo cause additional cancers as well as accelerating the growth of existing tumors. Chemotherapy does work but only on a limited number of certain types of cancer and every oncologist knows this fact. They can tell you right from the start whether the prescribed chemo treatment will work on a certain cancer or not. Continue reading →

The Amazing Health Benefits Of Okra

Published April 2, 2013 | By Russ Curran

The Origins Of Okra

According to history, one of the world’s most beautiful women, Cleopatra of Egypt, ate Okra, also known as “lady finger or gumbo”. It is characterized by its green color, elongated and tapering ridged pods infused with double row of seeds and slimy texture when cut open. This integral member of the cotton family is indigenous to regions around the Nile in North Africa and the Middle East for it was discovered dating as far as 3500 years ago in Ethiopia. Early Egyptians are known to love its taste. Okra later transcended to North America en route slave trade and then to Europe, Asia and South and Central America. During World War II, the shortage of coffee beans made them use the seeds as a substitute for coffee. This incident made the word “okra fever”. Since then, its popularity never disappeared from local markets to convenience stores throughout the world and throughout the year. Continue reading →

Cherries Cure Gout And Arthritis Symptoms

Published March 30, 2013 | By Russ Curran

Natures Cure For Gout Related Illnesses

The connection between cherries and gout was originally reported by Dr Ludwig W Blau who cured himself by eating them for gout back in 1950. Gout is a form of arthritis caused by uric acid crystallizing in the joints, causing excruciating pain and swelling. The joint of the big toe is usually affected, but it can develop in any joint. Since then many gout suffers have had success with this remedy by eating 20 to 30 cherries as soon as they feel that first twinge. Gout affects about one in 100 people, with men two to three times more likely to be affected than women. Continue reading →

Boyan Slat Tells How The Oceans Can Clean Themselves

Published March 26, 2013 | By Russ Curran

The Ocean Cleanup Array Resolves To End Oceanic Plastic Pollution

Where millions of tons of plastic kill ocean life and poison food chains, Boyan Slat , founder of the Ocean Cleanup Foundation sees opportunities to combat this. While researching oceanic plastic pollution during school holidays, he performed analysis on various fundamental topics (including particle sizes, plastic/plankton separation and the amount of plastic in the oceans), leading up to the first realistic concept for cleaning up the world’s oceans. His solution involves arrays of booms that would direct small plastic particles into robotic collection platforms. The arrays would be anchored along the radius of the ocean gyres where the massive plastic garbage patches form. The arrays are powered by ocean currents and the booms allow sea life to safely avoiding being trapped. Continue reading →

How Drinking 3 Glasses Of Beer A Day Is Good For You

Published March 25, 2013 | By Russ Curran

Beer Contains More Protein & Vitamin B Than Wine!

There’s a common misconception that drinking beer is fattening and unhealthy but that’s not true. Shocking, isn’t it? Now consider this, Beer is fat-free, cholesterol-free and low in carbohydrates. A 341-mL bottle of beer with 5 percent alcohol has 5 g of carbohydrates, while a pear with the skin on has 26 g. I’m not saying you should trade your fruits and veggies in for a steady diet of suds, but enjoying beer in moderation can actually be a healthier beverage choice than wine. Beer is a beverage that people usually prefer to take along with meals in North America, Europe and Africa. Beer has greater protein and vitamin B content than wine. Its antioxidant content is equivalent to that of wine. Continue reading →
