What you don’t know about lupus—and how to fight it

What you don’t know about lupus—and how to fight it

I’m generally not a big fan of “awareness” days, months or events.
Many are centered on things that people are already VERY well aware of, they regurgitate the same old information, and don’t really serve any significant purpose other than funding drug research.  But I’ll make an exception in this case because May is Lupus awareness month, and that’s definitely something people need to increase their awareness of. Many people have heard of it, but don’t know exactly what it is.

We’ve never seen this in the history of mankind!

We’ve never seen this in the history of mankind!

We are at a very unique time in our existence with respect to food and nutrients, and unfortunately, this is not a good thing.

In our grandparents’ day, one of the most prevalent concerns was not having enough food and the resulting nutrient deficiencies…in other words, being underfed and undernourished.

Study: Orange juice causes cancer?

Study: Orange juice causes cancer?

It seems every time I look at headline news, I feel like I’m reading the National Enquirer. 

Sensationalism.  Drama.  Fear-mongering.  Exaggeration.  And extremely one-sided, slanted reporting. 

The latest headline that caught my eye was all the above. 

“Study links common drink to skin cancer.”

What Americans 50 and over need to know

What Americans 50 and over need to know

May is “Older Americans Month.”
Now, I don’t know specifically at what age one earns the title of “older” but I would guess it’s referring to people 50 and over.
I’ve been in the health field for over 30 years and I can say that it certainly seems like things start breaking down once people hit the big 5-0.
But it doesn’t have to be that way!

Study: Acid reducers cause liver disease

Study: Acid reducers cause liver disease

The dangers of acid reducing medications (aka proton pump inhibitors or PPIs) seem to be never-ending!
These drugs have already been linked to increased risk of heart attacks, chronic kidney disease and dementia, increased susceptibility to fractures, greater vulnerability to infections, impaired digestion, an unhealthy gut microbiome, vitamin B12 deficiency, food borne illnesses, and a greater overall death risk.

Are you Bloated and Gassy?

Are you Bloated and Gassy?

One of the most common complaints people (especially women) report to their doctors is that they are ALWAYS bloated and gassy.
Unfortunately, since most doctors are focused on addressing symptoms—not underlying causes—many people with digestive issues are simply dismissed with one or more medications.
