To KALE With It! The Miracle Wave 's Featured Recipe: Tuscan Kale Salad

It's one of the most common side effects we see in patients before they begin seeking The Miracle Wave  therapy--Inflammation.

Inflammation is the number one cause of arthritis, heart disease and a number of autoimmune diseases. 

It's a condition that can be triggered by the consumption of animal products, and can be very debilitating for individuals who don't take the necessary steps (such as changing their diets or engaging in exercise) to live a healthier lifestyle. 


Kale is among the most nutrient-dense commonly eaten vegetables. 

One cup provides 1,327% of your Daily Value (DV) for vitamin K, 192% for vitamin A and 88% for vitamin C.

Not only is it jam-packed with vitamins, kale is an incredibly effective anti-inflammatory food, which can potentially prevent and even help reverse these inflammation-related illnesses.
