  Hidden Functions: The Surprising Role of “Useless” Organs

Your body is an intricate system, not a collection of spare parts. Once thought useless, organs like the tonsils and appendix may serve a purpose after all. While surgery is sometimes necessary, emerging research suggests these “leftovers” aren’t just evolutionary relics. Before removing what nature preserved, it’s worth asking if there’s another way.

  The Cost of Time: Longevity, Aging, and the Human Experience

The irony of recent U.S. longevity movements is that Americans suffer from chronic illness at higher rates than any other affluent country. Then again, maybe that’s the motivation—to not just live long, but live well. If a longevity pill existed, people would scramble for it. But health isn’t handed out in a capsule; it requires effort, awareness, and a willingness to act.

  What Skipping MMR Vaccination Means for the U.S. and Your Family

Like any pharmaceutical, vaccines come with potential health risks and side effects. Examining the MMR vaccine and its role in immunity is essential before making a decision. This article explores the consequences should vaccination rates significantly decline, especially in today’s more vulnerable populations.

  Infrared’s Silent Embrace: The Light That Warms from Within

Life on Earth depends on the sun, and as humans, we absorb vital nutrients from its rays. While most people know the sun helps us produce vitamin D, fewer realize the powerful health benefits of infrared light (IR). From supporting heart health and reducing pain to enhancing cognitive function, IR is gaining attention. Beyond sunlight, it can also be harnessed through infrared saunas, light panels, and other devices.

During the last half of March 2025, AVFCA brought awareness to specific observance days by sharing our original stories that matched these themes:

International Day of Happiness: “An Avocado Story: The Tale of a Non-sweet Fruit"

Time and time again, the avocado has been praised for its content of monounsaturated fats, and dubbed a “healthy fat” food for cardiovascular and metabolic health. Research indeed supports these claims. Less talked about are its benefits for maintaining a healthy gut microbiome, and its early start as an aphrodisiac in ancient cultures. Due to deforestation in Mexico, where 80% of California avocados come from, it’s critical to purchase organic, fair trade, or grown in CA. http://tinyurl.com/avocadostory 

National Nutrition Month: “"ProduceMaxx": The Disinfectant Sprayed on Your Fruit and Vegetables Without Your Consent”

Hypochlorous acid, the active ingredient in the disinfectant product, “ProduceMaxx” has been called the “miracle liquid.” It’s nontoxic, stronger than bleach, and kills pathogens effectively. The issue, however, and why ProduceMaxx is being splashed all over social media, is the fact that it’s sprayed on organic and conventional produce in grocery stores without your knowledge. http://tinyurl.com/producemaxx 

Our team also reads hundreds of articles each week, and those of interest are shared on our social media platforms.  However, once or twice a week, our team reads an article that is profound or shares a perspective that is new or from an expert that AVFCA feels should be highlighted.  These articles are shared on our Substack.
