Pure Prescription Blogs for September, 2007

Greetings and Welcome to my Weblog or Blog for short. I'm excited to be able to establish a dialog with others interested in a broad range of health related topics with an emphasis on dietary supplementation and life extension. I thought I'd kick things off with a brief bio and my goals for this blog.

Bio: I graduated from the Los Angeles College of Chiropractic (now SCUHS) in 1998 when I was 27 and have been a Cancer Survivor since that time as well. Having a strong educational background combined with my personal cancer experiences set the stage for the development of Pure Prescriptions, however it wasn't until I lost my father at a young 52 to Leukemia in 2001 did I set out to create the website and company Pure Prescriptions, Inc.

I have always been amazed by the strong sense of community that the world wide web can provide, especially in terms of access to health, education and the general sharing of knowledge. With this Blog, I plan to share my views about anything and everything health related. Whether it's cancer, arthritis, diabetes, weight loss or basic wellness tips and ideas you seek...I am sure to discuss it! I'll also pass along info about helpful sites that will serve to provide a more comprehensive explanation of all things health.

I welcome and encourage constructive feedback, suggestions and even questions! Just be sure to leave a comment at the end of every blog.

Cardiovascular disease is a wide-encompassing category that includes all conditions that affect the heart and the blood vessels. Cardiovascular disease is the number one cause of death in the United States. Click Here to read an introductory article that briefly discusses several diseases that have a role in the development of cardiovascular disease. Many risk factors are associated with cardiovascular disease; most can be managed, but some cannot. The aging process and hereditary predisposition are risk factors that cannot be altered. Until age 50, men are at greater risk than women of developing heart disease, though once a woman enters menopause, her risk triples.

I wanted to focus on our category of digestive health or more accurately, "Gastrointestinal Well-Being" today, given that the last category I discussed is so closely related (Probiotics). Good health rests on a foundation of a good diet and good digestive function.
