SAFETY IN THE IMPRISONED MIND
For more than three years I have shared realities about health, nutrition and exercise that many have never been exposed to. It has elicited reactions that have ranged from simple curiosity to extreme outrage. These realities have demonstrated the harms we’ve faced following industry guidelines established by organizations with conflicting interests. These conflicting interests often […]
WHAT HAVE WE LEARNED FROM THE VACCINE INJURED?
The title of this post is NOT controversial. Every health care professional knows vaccines injure some percentage of the population. The vaccine courts have awarded nearly 4 billion dollars in injury compensation to parents of vaccine injured children. Rather than debating whether we should or shouldn’t vaccinate our children (and adults,) why not discuss a […]
IS IT EDUCATION OR FEAR MONGERING?
Whether you’re a physician or a consumer/patient, it is important to be OBJECTIVE when determining whether an advertisement like the one above is designed to educate and protect us or create FEAR in order to gain PATIENT COMPLIANCE while improving the health care system’s revenue flow. Let’s OBJECTIVELY use government sources to cite the scientific […]
MEDICAL DOCTOR SPEWS FEAR OVER VITAMIN SUPPLEMENTATION
The following 2:36 video is a perfect example of a well known licensed physician (Paul Offit) WITHOUT expertise in nutrition or vitamin supplementation selectively choosing unnamed references to promote FEAR about healthy lifestyle choices (ex vitamin and mineral supplementation.) It is entertaining to watch him maintain a serious expression as he voices the “SERIOUS […]
POISON
Poison is defined as: “a substance that is capable of causing the illness or death of a living organism when introduced or absorbed.” What if research found that fast food consumption four or more times a week increased the risk of DEATH from heart disease by: 80%? What if research found that fast food consumption […]
IMMUNE HEALTH: AN OBJECTIVE ANALOGY
Do vaccinations (in general) stimulate the immune system to cause an immune response? The answer is YES (in most cases.) Does this provide the body a “heads up” against future exposure to these “germs?” The answer is YES (in most cases.) Can we therefore conclude the vaccination program is beneficial and should be mandated for […]
CAN THE METHOD BE THE PROBLEM?
With the new year 28 days in the making, many New Year’s resolutions have already hit a brick wall. The infamous: “I want to lose weight” “I want to be more physically fit” “I want to feel like I did when I was twenty years old” is a recurring mission many of us undertake, but […]
DO FEDERAL REGULATIONS PROTECT THE CONSUMER OR THE DRUG MANUFACTURERS?
On Dec. 14, 2016 the Federal Register contained an item (21 CFR Part 1308) that establishes a new drug code for “marihuana extract.” This new code (RECEIVING ZERO MEDIA ATTENTION) attempts to make CBD oil (an extract from BOTH HEMP AND MARIJUANA PLANTS) illegal. WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT? There is much controversy over the legalization […]
WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU PUT TOXIC CHEMICALS INTO AN UNDERWEIGHT, NORMAL WEIGHT OR OVERWEIGHT MALNUTRITIONED BODY?
For most of us, we think of GOOD HEALTH and DISEASE as a “state of being.” We believe we experience one or the other at any given time. Although this is a simple way of viewing this, it is entirely inaccurate. Initially, GOOD HEALTH is the natural “state of being” for the majority of us. […]
FOOD vs. FOOD “STUFF”
With every passing day, our concerns about distinguishing FOOD from FOOD “STUFF“ fades away. Our focus tends to shift from nutritional needs to satiating hunger. Our food choices are selected based on (1) speed, (2) convenience, (3) taste (4) and affordability. This has resulted in a desensitized population that no longer understands the meaning and […]
SEX AND HEART DISEASE
I’ll bet that title will arouse some attention! Well, after hearing for the umpteenth time, “if you suffer from heart disease, always check with your doctor to make sure it’s safe to have sex,” I thought I’d share my perspective. First, checking with your doctor IS NOT THE SAME THING AS HAVING SEX WITH YOUR […]
DEATH AND DOCTORS: MEDIA TRUTH vs. REALITY
Death is a REALITY that may culminate WITH or WITHOUT doctor intervention. Whether a medical doctor prescribes or withholds a prescription, the end result may be DEATH. If a surgeon chooses to perform a surgical procedure or chooses to abstain, the patient may DIE either way. If a chiropractic physician chooses to perform a spinal […]
FAST FOOD EVERYWHERE!
I recently posted a picture of 4 FAST FOOD RESTAURANTS visible from my GYM’s parking lot. The point was to show CONVENIENCE; a major factor contributing to our obesity epidemic. . Today I opened the weekly circular which displayed the following 7 ADS: Where is the DECENCY and HUMAN COMPASSION for a problem that continues […]
FINDING STUDIES ON THE BENEFITS OF OBESITY
1. “We expect that obesity will be responsible for an increasing share of deaths in the United States,” said Ryan Masters, the lead study author and researcher with the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. 2. “Obesity and extreme obesity can reduce life expectancy by up to eight years and deprive people of as many as 19 […]
HEALING: Seeing The Reality
This post will VERY BRIEFLY and in as SIMPLE TERMS AS POSSIBLE explain the natural healing process. There is a PURPOSE for this explanation so please don’t skip reading it. After a person cuts him or herself, there are basically three phases in natural healing (defined as letting the body heal without outside assistance.) The […]
SAFETY IN SMALL QUANTITIES
How often do we look at the size of prescription medication and mentally reduce the potential dangers based on its size? How often do we look at unhealthy processed foods and justify their consumption based on ingesting small amounts? We have created a false sense of security based on the QUANTITY and SIZE of “things.” […]
YOU ARE WHAT YOUR BACTERIA EAT
The latest and greatest research regarding overall health is focusing more on the intestines these days. The “gut” (more specifically,) the small intestines is where food is reabsorbed and utilized for feeding the cells of our bodies. This has lead to the discovery of just how important the bacteria in our digestive tract really is. […]
Putting Off Cancer Screenings
No one likes to talk about disease and cancer, but avoiding these subjects won’t make the reality of them disappear. Colorectal cancer is the 2nd or 3rd leading cause of death among all cancers (depending on your source.) Approximately 137,000 men and women will be diagnosed with this disease in 2015 and approximately 50,000 will lose […]
WHAT HAPPENS IF…?
Whether you have recently moved to a new city or state or plan to live in your current location, how prepared are you for potential health complications. Most people seek out a general family physician or internist, a dentist …. and the list usually ends there. For discretionary spending, the list is not only substantially […]
….And The Survey Says!!….
I took a survey today that was designed to determine an individual’s risk for developing cancer. To provide you with some background, I am 56 years old. I have exercised regularly (approximately 5X/week mixing 5 days of cardio and 4 days of strength training) for the last 38 years. I track all my foods in […]
