Treat it with Tea Tree: antibacterial & antimicrobial

Dr. Michele Burklund February 19, 2013

Tea tree (Malaleuca alternifolia) essential oil is a strong antibacterial and antimicrobial agent that has been used by Aborigine tribes for thousands of years. When applied externally it is used to fight fungus, bacteria, and viruses, but it's most impressive part is that it can effectively fight a number of infections that are resistant to some antibiotic medications! Clearly nature knows what it's doing.

Super Antioxidant Glutathione

Dr. Michele Burklund February 9, 2013

The coolest part about Glutathione (pronounced gloota-thigh-own) is that it is produced naturally in our body  all the time!  It is the combination of 3 amino acids: cysteine, glycine, and glutamine with a SH (sulfur) group that enables this molecule to be able to bind to free radicals and toxins.

Why we love glutathione:

  • It recycles antioxidants
  • Fights infections
  • Critical component of the detoxification system
  • Decreases recovery time
  • Increase immunity
  • Brain health
  • Antiaging benefits

In a "normal" body glutathione is recycled, but when the toxic load becomes too much to  handle that is when the body can get into some trouble.  When the  body becomes overwhelmed with oxidative stress from too many toxins and free radicals it  becomes vulnerable to infections, chronic illness, and cancer.  There are so many great foods to eat that boost our own personal reserves of this antioxidant.

Some foods that are rich in Glutathione:

  • Asparagus
  • Watermelon
  • Avocado
  • Grapefruit
  • Kale
  • Cauliflower
  • Broccoli
  • Cabbage
  • Brussels sprouts
  • Strawberries
  • Fish oil

In supplement form N-acetylcysteine (NAC), a amino acid is the precursor to glutathione and consequently stimulates synthesis in the body.
