The health scare no one talks about
While it seems to be the current focus of our national health agencies to scare the bejeezus out of people talking about the flu, COVID, monkeypox and whatever other viruses they can point a finger at, there is a glaring failure in how these agencies “serve and inform” us. I’m talking about chronic disease. Currently, half of all adult Americans, and shockingly 54 percent of our children, have at least one chronic disease (according...
Beware! This is even more dangerous than sugar!
Important announcement at the end, please read through. I would suspect that you probably remember me talking countless times in the past about the dangers of sugar, especially “sugar” in the toxic form of high fructose corn syrup. Sugar is a driving force behind a plethora of diseases and conditions including diabetes, insulin resistance, cancer, heart disease, obesity, dementia, immune dysfunction and chronic inflammation, to name a few. And it’s no coincidence that our...
How cholesterol became wrongly demonized
I would dare say that there is no subject in this world that is as falsely portrayed and poorly understood as cholesterol. The extent of most people’s understanding of cholesterol is that it’s the demon that clogs arteries and leads to heart disease, and the magic number to strive for is 200. And if your blood tests show you’re in the elevated range, welcome to the world of statins. But how did we...
What modern medicine is really about (Hint: It’s not health)
The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines “medicine” as: The science and art dealing with the maintenance of health and the prevention, alleviation, or cure of disease. I think they need to revisit this definition because I don’t see a lot of “health maintenance,” “prevention,” or “cure of disease” going on. What I do see is a system that is entirely captured and controlled by pharma to the extent that most times, the best you can hope for...
When “stomach problems” aren’t your stomach at all
$10 off Digestizol Max sale ends today! I think it’s safe to say that there is an abundance of people who have what are commonly called “stomach problems” including bloating, belching, burping, indigestion and an ability to play a symphony with one’s flatulence. In fact, an astonishing 74 percent (nearly three out of four) of us suffer occasional or chronic (as in several times a week or daily) digestive problems. The pharmaceutical industry pops the...
This bad advice is still being parroted by health experts
I recently saw an article on Facebook that talked about harmful foods that people should avoid. Of course that caught my attention, and I wanted to see what this doctor saw as “harmful” and why, so I read on. I agreed with the first few items—soda, processed foods and artificial sweeteners. Good going so far! Especially with artificial sweeteners, since I know they are still being pushed by many in the health field as...
