The 5-step daily detox program

Last week, I told you that eating a purely organic diet isn’t enough to protect you from chemicals in the environment. There is, in fact, no way to avoid chemicals. They’re everywhere.

Several studies have shown promise in preventing or slowing the progression of several cancers. These include lung, liver, and lymphatic cancers. Now a new study shows how effective it is at preventing prostate cancer.

However, the trip was so awesome, and we were so proud of our accomplishment, that we decided to revisit the canyon again this year. But we decided to have the brains not to do it in the summer. This time, we did it in April. The trip was planned and guided by Ed’s patient, Bob Green of Colorado, a canyon veteran, who brought along his friend Mike Harr. We needed a guide for this one. We were promised a wilderness back country experience complete with rappelling.
