Dozens, if not hundreds, of research studies, connect meat consumption and increased heart disease risk (and cancer risk). The pathways have included the saturated fat and cholesterol content, a rise in inflammation, a rise in insulin resistance, lack of fiber, and nitrosamines.   This week, Dr. Kahn reviews new research that confirms the Meat-Heart Risk findings and adds new knowledge about a metabolite called TMAO that is produced by eating red meat. TMAO rapidly falls when red meat is eliminated from the diet.   Dr. Kahn also offers a new cardiac supplement, GG-Pure with discount code Kahn15 on the first order from www.xtend-life.com.

What is the longest nerve in the body? Of course, it is cranial nerve X called the vagus nerve. The vagus nerve carries impulses from the parasympathetic nervous system or the "rest and digest" part of our nerve pathways.   Can you increase the activity of the vagus nerve to get better "rest and digest" activity? YES!   This week, Dr. Kahn discusses over 20 ways to activate your vagus nerve and ends with the neuvanalife.com Xen device (discount code Kahn10) which he has been using for over a month and is loving in terms of the results.

Would you drastically change your diet and sleep cycle if you had a serious disorder like ulcerative colitis or lupus to see if you could heal your illness naturally? It is a trade-off of extreme diets for extreme diseases versus extreme treatments.   This week, Dr. Kahn features two examples of extreme but successful diet programs, one for autoimmune diseases like SLE (lupus) and one specifically for Crohn's and Colitis.   The authors of the two books featured do offer consultation on achieving success against these extreme therapies. The power of the human body to heal itself is the theme of the week.
