Ira Pastor Comments:

On previous shows, as we’ve spent time discussing the bio-architecture of life, we have spent time at various levels of this unique hierarchy, from the very, very small (as we’ve delved into topics like quantum biology), to the very large (as we discussed themes like chronobiology), and a lot of domains in between: the genome, micro-biome, systems biology, etc.

Today, however, we are going to further and deeper than we’ve ever been before.

Sister Ilia Delio, PhD
Dr. / Sister Ilia Delio PhD. OSF, is a Franciscan Sister (Order of St Francis of Washington, DC) and holds the Josephine C. Connelly Endowed Chair in Theology at Villanova University.

A native of Newark, NJ, she earned a B.S. in Biology from DeSales University, a masters degree in Biology at Seton Hall, and a doctorate in pharmacology from Rutgers University-School of Healthcare and Biomedical Sciences (with specialization in neuro-toxicology, with an emphasis on neuromuscular disease) and she wrote her dissertation on axonal dysfunction in an experimental model of Lou Gehrig’s (ALS) disease.

Herbs to increase breast milk supply and heal the spleen. Traditional remedies which promise to cure insomnia and acne. Secret cancer treatments that have been ignored or suppressed by Western medicine.

Practitioners of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) have a long history of making outsized claims, not least in the case of fertility and virility, where demand for tiger penis and rhino horn has devastated wild populations.

Quackery and false claims exist in all branches of medicine, but doctors in Europe are concerned that unverified claims made under the guise of TCM are being spread worldwide by social media, inadvertently aided by the World Health Organization (WHO).

“This inverse association was robust, consistently seen across current, past, and never smokers, as well as men, women, and individuals with different backgrounds,” she adds.

Shu says the health benefits may be rooted in their prebiotic (nondigestible food that promotes growth of beneficial microorganisms in the intestines) and probiotic properties. The properties may independently or synergistically modulate gut microbiota in a beneficial way.

The research appears in JAMA Oncology. Additional coauthors are from Seoul National University and Vanderbilt.

While everyone has specific life stressors, factors related to job pressure, money, health, and relationships tend to be the most common.

Stress can be acute or chronic and lead to fatigue, headaches, upset stomach, nervousness, and irritability or anger.

At the start of this decade, the federal government called out consumer DNA testing as a burgeoning scam industry. Little did we know how it would explode in popularity.

In 2010, the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) published an investigative report that bashed consumer DNA test companies for misleading the public. It accused them of deceptively claiming their products could predict the odds of developing more than a dozen medical conditions; some even went as far to offer equally dubious dietary supplements. The report had followed a similar lambasting of the industry by the GAO in 2006.
