About

I suffered more than half of my life through the hell of disseminated late- stage Chronic Lyme disease. I had extensive heart, kidney, liver and brain damage, as well as extensive muscular-skeletal and immune system damage. After 5 years of advanced pharmacological medicine, I realized I had to find another way. I searched hard and then found true healing through energy medicine and high-antioxidant food- based medicine. I halted the illness, then reversed and began to repair the damage. Diet IS everything. My favorite words list includes words such as “rad” and “brilliant” now also includes words such as “Antioxidants,” “Flavonoids,” “Polyphenols” and “Epicatechins.” This blog is about how healthy high- antioxidant food works on a scientific- basis to help heal us.

Do you know what an ORAC score is? An ORAC score is the measure of antioxidant capacity in food and stands for Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity. It was developed by scientists at the National Institutes of Health. More and more nutritionists and doctors are recommending nutritional diets high in antioxidants. Why? Because antioxidants are are a specific class of nutrients in our foods which can prevent and repair the oxidative damage to our body. When our body cells use oxygen, they naturally produce free radicals which can damage our cells. Antioxidants mop up these free radicals. Free radical damage alters our cells, causing inflammation and thus leading to serious diseases such as heart disease, macular degeneration, diabetes and cancer. Free radical damage is actually why we age. Look at who’s at the top of the ORAC score list for the highest scoring antioxidant food on the planet… MY FAVORITE FOOD!
