The Fruit that Naturally Reverses Diabetes
Mainstream medicine wants you to believe the only thing you can do about diabetes is take Big Pharma’s pills or insulin shots for the rest of your life.
Even if you’re not diabetic, all those carbs in your diet — cereal, pasta, potatoes, bread and sugary drinks — means your body is getting a dangerous overload of sugar. And it may be just a matter of time, before you become a statistic in America’s fastest growing health epidemic.
For decades, I’ve been helping my patients not just manage their diabetes symptoms, also to reverse it for good.
And I’ve also been helping them to prevent diabetes in the first pla...

Natural Way to Suppress Your Appetite and Shrink Your Waistline
On a recent research trip through the rainforest in Bali, my friend Westi showed me a tree called Cananga odorata (also known as ylang-ylang) that’s highly valued for the pleasing scent from its flowers, which are widely used in perfumes.
Ylang-ylang is a sweet-scented oil made from the flowers of the herb Cananga odorata genuina.
But traditional Balinese healers like my friend Westi know it has far more to offer.
Ylang-ylang has been used for centuries to suppress appetite and control food cravings, along with helping to reduce anxiety, depression and stress.
Ylang-ylang does this by stimulating your brain’s “satie...

UCLA physician makes a special delivery on her honeymoon
Dr. Angelica Zen’s recent honeymoon with her brand new husband, Ryan Miyakawa, will be forever memorialized in snapshots of the happy couple in Bali — and YouTube and TV news videos from all over the world because of what happened on their homebound plane 30,000 feet above the Pacific Ocean.
On Oct. 8, Zen, a UCLA resident physician in internal medicine-pediatrics, was sleeping in the main cabin about six hours into an Air China flight that left Taiwan for L.A. when she was awakened by a voice on the plane's PA system asking if a doctor was available. Still groggy, Zen volunteered that she was a doctor.
Because she loo...

Control Inflammation and “Turn Off” Disease-Causing Genes
The single most important thing you can do to prevent premature aging is to control inflammation.
Inflammation is the body’s effort to heal itself. But too much produces disease.
In fact, most of the diseases associated with aging are essentially inflammatory diseases. That includes cancer, heart disease, arthritis, arteriosclerosis, Alzheimer’s disease and diabetes.
And the truth is that we’re all inflamed thanks to a modern diet that includes inflammation-friendly ingredients like sugar, cheap vegetable oils, and refined carbohydrates.
Most doctors are not educated in the role of nutrition in disease. A...

How People Of The Pacific Are Navigating Us To A Better Future
Over the past 40 years, I've spent a lot of time on the wooden deck of a sailing canoe. The experience, which has brought our crew around the world to diverse and beautiful places, has been a wake up call like no other.
Forty years ago, the ability to navigate the world's oceans without instruments was nearly extinct in my home of Hawaiʻi. The rest of Hawaiian knowledge, culture and tradition was very close to being lost forever, too.
Together with a diverse group of individuals, we formed the Polynesian Voyaging Society, and found one of earth's last traditional navigators, Mau Piailug, living in Micronesia. Through h...

8 Steps to Truly Love Yourself -- and Why It's the Most Selfless Thing You Can Do
There seems to be a very beautiful trend taking shape that I am completely devoted to: It is starting to be popular to "be loving." Over the last few years, health, spiritual practices and taking care of mother earth are starting to be considered a hip thing -- rather than a strange "hippie" thing. I am delighted by how this is reflected in the overall consciousness of our planet: We are starting to truly care about ourselves. When I started studying yoga about ten years ago the concept of ahimsa -- non-harming -- was still rather unknown in mainstream society. Meditation, yoga, vegetarianism, conscious consumerism, recycl...

Tough laws to stop the trade of endangered wildlife 'not enough'
Western conservation groups are seeking stricter law enforcement to tackle a trade in endangered wildlife, but a researcher warns that this is not a 'silver bullet' solution. He highlights the case of the Bali starling, where bringing in tougher laws back-fired -- only serving to make the bird more popular among the elite. He highlights how sometimes local people who know the realities on the ground get better results.

Meditation 101: A Multi-Step Process
Like stress, happiness can be cultivated. The mind is a powerful medium. Here's a guide, rearranged and abridged from The New Meditation Handbook.
Become aware of your breath. To feel the sensation is to be alive and present. Try to think more clearly by quieting the mind.
Take out external conditions from your happiness equation. There are things you cannot control and impending changes that have a tendency to affect our moods. Look within.
If your mind is not peaceful, we will never be happy, even if our external conditions are perfect ... without inner peace, there is no real happiness at all. The more we control ou...
