Although not a likely dinner topic, life happens deep within our cellular mitochondria with chemical reactions known as redox signaling. Learn why redox imbalances are responsible for every illness from diabetes to cancer.

"All illness is expressed in one of two ways: a predominance of oxidative stress-related symptoms and signs (similar to rusting, but in a biological sense), or a predominance of inflammatory (reactive) signs and symptoms. Health can be achieved by addressing imbalances in these areas and then moving the redox needle back to the balance point,” writes Robertson D. Ward, M.D. FAAFP.

Recently, the scientist who discovered the DNA double helix, James Watson, announced that redox signaling is the cause of diabetes. Consequently, he’s dedicated the remainder of his life’s research to redox research. LEARN MORE
