The top 3 health atrocities people see as “normal”
New! Holistic Blends is testing the option to listen to select blogs. Let us know your thoughts in the comments section of the blog below. I’d like to talk to you today about a trend that I am seeing in the health field that is rather disturbing and affecting increasing numbers of people. Despite our advances in new treatments and medications, and the fact that we spend more per capita on health care...
Sneaky health destroyers that few doctors test for
I think it’s safe to say that when most people don’t feel quite right (or downright lousy), unless it’s something minor and short-lived like a cold, the average person will go to the doctor to see what’s wrong. And hopefully after whatever tests are necessary, get some answers and a solution. But alas, life does not always work out that way. Because it’s entirely possible that you can consult a doctor, go through a...
Osteoporosis facts drug companies don’t want you to know
Following my move to Florida last fall, I was recently faced with the task of finding a new doctor…and I’m thankful to have had the good fortune to locate an outstanding integrative physician here in the Melbourne area.

As of this writing, an incredible, unprecedented 116 million American adults have high blood pressure (hypertension). That’s just a hair shy of 50 percent of us! Out of those 116 million, only about 29 million (1 out of 4) have it under control. Note that the hypertension population got a big “boost” back in 2017 when the high blood pressure threshold was changed from 140/90 down to 130/80. When that occurred, the percentage of...
When run-of-the-mill acid reflux becomes deadly
If you’re one of the 66 million people in the US with acid reflux, you know the misery it causes. This can go WAY beyond a 4-alarm fire in your chest and include chest pain, regurgitation, coughing, difficulty swallowing and sore throat. But there’s another consequence of acid reflux that is far worse than belching or sleeping propped up on pillows. Barrett’s esophagus. Let’s look at this silent and potentially deadly condition, as well...
