Top 3 essential oils to degrade biofilms

Jun 19, 2017 Autoimmune Diseases, Digestion, Essential Oils, Plant Medicine Christina Santini Comment

Biofilms are a sticky cover made by bacteria - often encapsulating bad bacteria leading to chronic health conditions and fatigue. The National Institutes of Health estimates that more than 80% of microbial infections in the human body are caused by biofilm, many of them creating chronic conditions.

Autoimmune diseases: Why you need saturated fat

Jun 5, 2017 Good vs. Bad Fats, Women's Health, Autoimmune Diseases Christina Santini Comment

Autoimmune diseases are a pain in the neck to deal with for those who struggle with it - your own immune system attacking yourself, seems like nature is almost against you. We expect our immune system to PROTECT us, not attack us, right? Well, here's the deal. When we undergo stressors, changes take place on a cellular level - and if the health of the cell-membranes is compromised, hydrolase will begin to leak from the cells out into your body, where an autoimmune reaction will often happen.

Women have 52% serotonin compared to men

May 22, 2017 Women's Health Christina Santini Comment

Women are not men, surprise. Neither psychologically nor biochemically are we wired similar. There is a lot of freedom to be found in accepting that we are different (yet of equal worth), and we need not follow the same paths to succeed in body, mind and soul mastery. And there is a lot of misery in trying to function as men in the work place and also copying the same food behaviors, because it works for them. We need to find our own formula to thrive in the skin we are in – as women and as individuals. There are a lot of studies out there focusing on men – and taking those results as the golden rule for everyone. Women have 52% levels of serotonin compared to men. This is also why more women than men struggle with eating disorders.

Eat to beat cancer

May 8, 2017 Cancer, Superfoods Christina Santini Comment

Food is the strongest medicine we have. That is, when you understand how to use it for different diseases. No one can patent food as God made it, and thank... well, God for that.

This is, however, where it also often gets complicated. Because we can't patent something, few resources is set off to promote it, regardless of how efficient the cure is - simply because the profit is very low in doing so. The science of using food to cure diseases from a-z goes back thousands of years. It is well studied regardless of modern Medicine only recently being open for integrating nutritional and gene science into Western treatment modalities.

Why I don't care much about so-called "science" in the medical industry

Apr 24, 2017 Chinese Medicine, Health culture, Mind-Body Medicine, Plant Medicine Christina Santini Comment

Did you know that almost every single synthetic medicine is inspired by a plant? And that the reason we don't utilize the intelligence that already exists in nature is a matter of profit: we cannot patent plants and this means the profit margin is lower, if we choose to turn towards natural medicine - medicine that our body can actually understand and recognize at a cell-level. This in stark contrast to all the nasty side-effects of synthetic medication. The science of how different plants work against different diseases has been shown time and time again to be next-to-none in the laboratory. Plants outperform any man-made drug. So why are we trying to reinvent what already exists and is perfect? Last week I was featured in VoyageLA on my thoughts on food, nutrition and why we get sick.

Mar 27, 2017 Digestion Christina Santini Comment

If you are suffering from gut issues and have gone gluten and dairy free in addition to cutting out foods that biochemically mimic gluten, such as corn and supplements containing gluten, but still see little progress, you may want to consider your coffee.
