DON’T WORRY ABOUT DIABETES–CANCER WILL GET YOU FIRST
The beauty about not taking good care of ourselves is that every aspect of our physiology goes to hell in a handbasket. There’s no need to worry about focusing on a single organ system or medical specialty. Just assume…

CANCER SNIFFING DOGS?

VACCINES–PANACEA OR KILLING OUR INFANTS?
Vaccines remain a very hot topic. On one side we have public health, pediatricians and school officials making parents feel inadequate at best and abusive at worst for failing to follow recommended schedules. The other…

TYLENOL LINKED TO CANCER?
The long list of problems associated with pharmaceutical pain control never seems to get any shorter. NSAIDs have been linked to heart attacks, joint destruction, impotence (yikes!), dementia, liver damage, kidney…

I’VE HAD NECK PAIN EVER SINCE THAT ACCIDENT…
The statistics on the persistance of neck pain following a whiplash-type injury are pretty disheartening. Depending on the study you read, up to 90% of patients may experience some type of symptoms 10 years later. This…

FORGIVENESS IS DIVINE, AND IMPROVES IMMUNE FUNCTION…

CAN WE REALLY WIPE OUT BREAST CANCER?
Maybe not wipe out, but how about an lower risk with just some general changes? I typically volunteer in the medical tent at the Komen 3-day events and strike up conversations with the walkers. It seems like there are…

BUT MY KIDS WON’T EAT VEGETABLES…
My usual response to this is that the parent is likely not eating the vegetables that they want the child to eat, or, more often, the parent does not expect the child to enjoy the presented “healthy” food. This article…

DOES SOY REALLY INCREASE RISK FOR BREAST CANCER?
I’m unsure how soy has managed to get such a bad reputation. But there is no doubt that the internet has contributed to the idea that soy is bad for our health and increases the risk of cancer, thyroid problems, breasts…

OMINOUS FINDING IN OVERWEIGHT CHILDREN
I don’t think anyone thinks that a child being overweight is a good thing. I also don’t think anyone would disagree that the numbers of overweight children seems to be growing faster than their waistlines. Some parents…

PROTECT YOUR HEART THROUGH YOUR ADRENALS
Mainstream medicine today has become more and more specialized (I’ve heard it said that the more specialized we become, the less we know about more and more…). Unfortunately, no one discussed this arbitrary division of…

DRINK THIS TO STAVE OFF DIABETES
Coffee has yet again been shown to be an effective part of preventing diabetes. Coffee had a bad rap for a long time, likely because it was associated with other behaviors like coffee (for breakfast!) and smoking…

PRETERM BIRTH MAY BE AVOIDED WITH THIS SIMPLE NUTRIENT
There is nothing good to be said about preterm birth. It is stressful on the newborn, stressful on the parents and stressful on the healthcare system. Preterm infants will forever have elevated risks of certain…

TRAMPOLINE DANGERS FOR KIDS
We were all having a blast at a local trampoline “fun place” as Keegan (who is 5) calls it. We’ve been to this type of place numerous times and always had fun and some good exercise. However, this time I bounced a…
