Medication is not nutrition, it will not help the body get healthier, it just controls symptoms and numbers. It’s like putting black tape over the red lights on the dashboard of your car. If you don’t find the cause of the car trouble – major repairs. That’s what happens in the human body.

Eggs lower LDL cholesterol? That's an about face from all the experts over these last decades. Turns out that foods are responsible for only 5% of the cholesterol in the body as the liver makes the other 95%. The medics never ask, "WHY is the liver making all this cholesterol?"

One in five children has a degenerative disease and one in seven teenagers have mental issues. Most of these problems could be easily avoided if parents knew about good nutrition and good eating habits.

Plant-based doesn’t always mean heart-healthy. This article challenges common beliefs and emphasizes that food quality—not just type—is what truly impacts long-term health. A balanced diet, mindful choices, and proper supplementation are key.

We all know that refined sugars and flour cause all kinds of health problems including cardiovascular disease. This article looks at the processed seed oils and the linoleic acids they contain that humans should not consume.

Some truths are finally coming back into our society. The mainstream medicine gurus got it wrong again when they vilified saturated fat, a fat source that we have had in our diets for millennia.

A look at how proper hydration goes beyond just drinking water—it’s about quality, structure, and electrolytes. Drinking half your body weight in ounces daily and using mineral-rich sea salt supports detox, balances pH, and helps your cells function at their best.

Human beings have been out in the sun for millennia and we don't all get skin cancer. Just like every other malady, it's got to do with the immune system in that person that fails and allows these cancer cells to get out of control. The sun actually helps the body to activate the vitamin D.

I really can't believe that mercury is still being used in dental amalgams, but it is. When they bring it into the dentist’s office, it's in a hazardous material container and if you take it out of the teeth you must put it back into a hazardous material container but once it's in your mouth it's supposed to be OK.

Looking at the "Dirty Dozen"—types of produce commonly found to have pesticide residues. You really must watch the source of the foods that we get and how they are grown. It’s almost impossible to stay away from all the chemicals out there but we try to educate patients on the sources and have them stay away from what they can so that their body can hopefully handle what we inevitably get into by just living.

Arthritis can be caused by hidden food allergies and unresolved infections. Once the joint starts to deteriorate, the body tries to clean up the mess, resulting in an autoimmune response and the condition gets worse.

It makes sense that people that aren’t sleeping well are not able to repair themselves and age, or fall apart - disability, faster. Taking drugs to sleep does not handle the underlying problem, which in my experience is a B vitamin deficiency, and they still aren’t able to repair and heal themselves from all of the day’s activities.

It’s a simple thing but can have a big impact on your health. Everyone thinks that whatever they put in their mouth automatically goes to wherever it’s supposed to and is all good. Not really. The body can absorb carbs fairly easy, which it uses for energy, but everything else needs more effort.
