A Letter to our Fallen

August 8, 2011 |

Written by U.S. Army Lt. Col. Jack Usrey Pegasus 1 Operation Enduring Freedom
In honor of our fallen comrades – they give all hope

2001.  I saw you for the first time when I was seven and I was afraid of you.  You came into my village with clothes and vehicles I had never seen.  You were very big.  You wore things that hung off your body that made me tremble – you looked like a monster walking down the street.  I could not see your eyes – you did not look human. 

I have three brothers and a mother and father.  We live in a hut on the side of the valley between the river and the mountains.  My father and brothers have not had a job since the Taliban took over our valley.  We sometimes don’t have enough food to eat but most of the time we have water.  My mother can read a little and tells me stories about how when she was my age she went to school and learned many things.  The Taliban do not allow girls to go to school. «Read the rest of this article»

A Nutritional Strategy to Autoimmunity

By Larry Harris | August 8, 2011 |

Clarksville, TN – Only recently has the scientific community accepted the issue of autoimmunity. Although initially introduced in late 70’s, the mechanism of autoimmunity was considered radical until the late 1980s. Throughout the ’90s autoimmune diseases proliferated until it seemed almost common to know a person with an autoimmune disease.

Autoimmunity literally means that the immune system has developed antibodies to attack its own tissues. There are many theories as to why this may happen. Traditional medical approaches seem to concern themselves only with trying to control the secondary symptoms of autoimmunity instead of addressing the underlying causes, which are still enigmatic and mysterious. «Read the rest of this article»
