A number of years ago I started focusing on the imbalance of omega 6 oil (vegetable oils) to the omega 3 oils (fish oil, flax oil, and phospholipids) in our diet. A healthy body has a fairly even mix of the two oils, and that is what exists naturally in vegetables. Unfortunately, beginning about 100 years […]
This topic was suggested to me by one of my patients as a good subject with which to start the holiday season. With the onslaught of costumed sugar addicts at my door the other night, I would say the holidays are officially in full swing. Somehow the season of good cheer also is the season […]
Way back in 1972 mind-body interactions were the subject of philosopher’s arguments. No one had any inkling that this subject would have any real world applications. Back then I was a sophomore at UC Davis pursuing a double major in physics and psychology. My goal at that time was to become a parapsychologist. I wanted to […]
For the last several weeks my focus has been on motivation. The reason is very simple, I can give a person the greatest information and guidance in the world, but if they are not motivated to follow that guidance then there was no point in even knowing that information. At the end of the day the […]
Sometimes life wants me to pay attention to something, so it repeats itself in different ways. For instance last week I read an article on a breathing study done on a giraffe. That sounds strange I know, but the idea is that no one has been able to figure out how a giraffe is able […]
I am reading a book right now about using nutrients to balance out brain chemistry. The amount of research is impressive with over 30,000 patients treated and over a million lab tests performed to assess these patients. This kind of research volume only happens when we are either dealing with somebody’s life work or when […]
I just spent last weekend at a seminar on brain aging and brain development in the young. These two subjects were put together because the undeveloped brain of an infant or young child has a lot of similarities to the degenerated brain function as one ages and goes into dementia. We begin life as a […]
I see several new patients every week. I thank all of you for those referrals as my practice is entirely created by your referrals. I have always had a referral-based practice. I have always felt that what I do needed some sort of personal experience-based explanation, since what I do is so different from most […]
I have been writing about diet for years now as it relates to digestion, hormone balance, autoimmune disease, blood sugar balance, brain function, aging, weight loss, and so on. But just recently I have been reading a book called “Body by Science” that has opened my eyes to a whole other piece to the health […]
America today has a handle on physical relaxation. We have our favorite Lazy Boy easy recliner with attached drink caddy that keeps the cold ones at our finger tips, as well as the four entertainment center remotes and the TV Guide. A few of us have even splurged on the $6000 Super Relaxomatic Shiatsu Massage […]
