You are not the only one feeling like...

I have always been a big fan of natural cures versus chemical ones. If there is an alternative, I'd rather consume something natural than some exotic chemicals that were made in a lab somewhere. Call me bizarre but those pheno-dextro-ferra-whatever chemicals just don't sound healthy to me.

Almost everyone can identify with the discomfort of ailing sinuses. A typical patient might present with pain behind his cheek bones, his nose, and above his eyes. It hurts more when he leans forward, and it really got bad on a plane flight last week: pain going up to altitude, and some relief coming down.

One out of three people today have allergies, asthma or a breathing disorder. This recent change has to be related to environmental issues. One major change is in the way our homes are insulated today. Our domiciles are much better insulated than ever before. Steroid nasal inhalers used for treatment of hay fever and other seasonal allergies can be very effective, but those steroids reach every part of our body and systematically harm and weaken our natural immune system. Besides, it...

Allergies now affect one in four of us and the problem is getting worse… each year this figure increases by 5% and as many as half of all those affected are children*.

It's more noticeable at this time of year when pollen counts are soaring, triggering symptoms of the UK's most common allergy, hayfever. If you suffer from hayfever, you can try to reduce symptoms such as itchy eyes, runny nose and sneezing by staying indoors when the pollen count is high. Unfortunately, our...

Celiac disease (CD) is an inherited autoimmune disorder with symptoms ranging in severity from abdominal pain, gas and diarrhea, to anemia, joint pain and skin disorders, to name a few. It is estimated that CD affects 1 in 133 people in Canada and these numbers are growing. In fact, this segment of the population is increasing so much that according to a survey sanctioned by the Canadian Restaurant and Foodservice Association (CFRA), foodservice professionals agree that gluten-free...
