Chronic Disease – Treatment

Best Anti-Ageing Diet and Telomere Protective Lifestyle

I just wanted to make a quick post highlighting some relatively new studies I’ve just read supporting the anti-ageing benefits of a whole food plant-based lifestyle. The research indicates that a diet high in vegetables and fruits significantly slows down telomere shortening while inclusion of meats and refined oils accelerates telomere shortening.

Telomeres are chromosome-protective caps made up of lengths of DNA. Each time a cell divides telomere length is slightly reduced. Once the telomeres become too short to maintain proper protection (or disappear altogether i.e. cell death), chromosomes become more susceptible to genetic damage. Read more . . .

Vegan vs Paleo vs Keto vs Whole Food Plant-Based – Which Is Best for RA

26-07-18 by Brian Darby

After a great deal of research and questioning you’ve come to understand that the majority of chronic diseases are caused and fostered by poor diet and lifestyle choices and you want to change your’s for the better, how do you decide which diet and lifestyle to adopt? How do you determine the validity of the various claims made by those who follow and promote such an inconsistent variety of dietary and lifestyle choices?

The answer is, you have to drill down into them and assess the strength of the science supporting them and the motivation, character, qualifications and clinical or scientific experience of those promoting them. In addition to this, it’s important to look at epidemiological evidence and clinical trials, especially long-term trials. People’s personal experiences/stories can also be helpful but again it’s important to question motives. Read more . . .

21-06-18 by Brian Darby

There’s a vast amount of information and evidence suggesting and often demonstrating that ulcerative colitis is caused by a disease promoting diet and lifestyle, and that it can be completely reversed and healed by switching to a health promoting diet and lifestyle.

If I had ulcerative colitis I would be very optimistic in my efforts to bring about full remission, based on everything I’ve learned about this disease. I’ll provide some of the reasons why below along with further resources and plenty of inspiration for those ulcerative colitis sufferers seeking a cure. Read more . . .

Effective Treatments to Help Reverse Rheumatoid Arthritis

17-07-17 by Brian Darby4 Comments

There are so many effective (non-pharmaceutical) treatments for rheumatoid (and osteo) arthritis, both old and new. In this post I would like to summarise a few of the most important of them in order to provide a useful starting point for anyone searching to find a cure for RA.

Although every case of RA and every person is different, any one (or combination) of these approaches may be very effective for you and are a great place to start your recovery. This is particularly true if you are in the early stages of your RA or if your disease is still fairly mild. Read more . . .
