CHRIS D. MELETIS, ND  To create a healthy child, we must first look at the prenatal period and earlier. One could hypothesize that if Mom and Dad aren’t healthy, the likelihood of an [...]

NODE SMITH, ND A stimulating environment keeps the “hippocampus” — which is the brain’s memory control center — young, so to speak. Causes of this are molecular [...]

NODE SMITH, ND Researchers have found that people who live beyond 105 years tend to have a unique genetic background that makes their bodies more efficient at repairing DNA, according to a study [...]

NODE SMITH, ND Neurons lack the ability to replicate their DNA, so they’re constantly working to repair damage to their genome. Now, a new study by Salk scientists finds that these repairs [...]

NODE SMITH, ND New research has identified and described a cellular process that, despite what textbooks say, has remained elusive to scientists until now — precisely how the copying of [...]
