Ever wonder why salmon looks pink on your plate? It’s due to something called astaxanthin, and it’s the same reason lobster, shrimp, and crab have pink flesh. Astaxanthin is a powerful antioxidant that comes from a diet rich in an algae known as H. pluvialis, and it could have significant benefits for stomach health.

Haematococcus pluvialis (H. pluvialis) is a microalgae. When this algae runs out of water, astaxanthin is produced in an effort to protect itself from UV radiation. Astaxanthin’s protective qualities come from the fact that it is a powerful antioxidant—65 times more powerful than vitamin C!

Several studies have focused on mistletoe and its potential, positive effect on cancer. Though research is inconclusive, many of the studies show that mistletoe’s anti-cancer properties work to kill various cancer cells. Further, the Christmas decor could be an alternative to toxic chemotherapy.

One study focuses on mistletoe and pancreatic cancer. Pancreatic cancer is one of the most deadly forms of cancer, with a mortality rate of around 80% during the first years after diagnosis. It strikes 44,000 Americans each and every year and conventional treatments haven’t been able to do much to prolong their lives. This latest research, however, indicates it could offer assistance to those diagnosed with a deadly disease.

The US government labels cannabis a ‘schedule one narcotic’ along with heroin and LSD; they also say it has no medicinal value.

In fact, one patent filed in February of 2001, #6630507, is entitled “Cannabinoids as Antioxidands & Neuroprotectants.” Sounds pretty ‘medicinal’ to me. More than 77% of American agree.

Natural killer cells are white blood cells (lymphocytes) that seek out and kill cancerous or otherwise mutating cells that can harm the body. Also known as NK cells or just K cells, these natural killer cells are a natural part of our immune systems. Considering that 1/3 of the population is expected to get cancer in their lifetime, it would behoove us to boost our body’s natural ability to reduce cancerous tumors and virally infected cells.
