This newsletter had to wait until after Halloween. I didn’t want to throw shade on the joy of running door to door gathering small bundles of sugar for mass consumption later. After all, how often do we get people we hardly know to tell us how wonderful we look and reward us just for coming […]

Indulgent
Ellen and I have been focusing on the subject of self-love for the last week or so. Once we get interested in a subject, we seem to attract many different perspectives from those around us on the subject of interest without asking. Sometimes it is like the world is just a big textbook, and when […]
Blood Sugar Imbalance
Last week I focused on the fundamental need for every cell in the body to have a good supply of oxygen-carrying blood. The oxygen is needed by the energy factories inside our cells (the mitochondria) to turn food (fats and sugars) into chemical energy (ATP). Today we are taking the next step and looking at […]
Lipotoxicity
Boy, this sounds like a scary newsletter. The title literally says fat poisoning. From what I have been researching, it is very scary and very common. When I say common, I mean two-thirds of us probably have this. This nastiness is one of the underlying causes of obesity, heart disease, and diabetes. This is […]
K2
Today’s article is about K2. Not the K2 that is the second highest mountain on earth nor the K2 brand of skiing and snowboarding equipment. No, the K2 I am discussing today is a vitally important vitamin that very little is known about. Research is showing us just how important this vitamin is, but […]
New Sweetener !
For a couple of years now, I have been playing with a new sweetener on the market called allulose. This is almost a magic type of sugar. It was originally discovered back in the 1940s in wheat and has since been found in figs, raisins, and jackfruit. It occurs naturally, but in minimal quantities. […]
Keto
As of this date, there are over 130 research studies underway on the effects of the ketogenic diet. Despite all sorts of so-called experts claiming that a keto diet could be dangerous, the reality is showing all of these claims to be false. None of the supposed dangers are showing up in lab tests […]
Gallbladders
Did you know that gallbladder removal surgery is one of the most common surgeries performed in the United States? Every year hundreds of thousands of patients have their gallbladders removed. What’s up with that? Clearly, gallbladders are not designed to suddenly crap out and go bad, and yet our doctors believe this is happening. […]
Rejuvenation or detoxification?
If you are reading this on Sunday, I will be finishing the third week of a detoxification fast. That sounds like it would be hard, but as I will show you in this newsletter, it is not difficult at all. But first, we have to understand the different kinds of fasting, what they are […]
Why High Cholesterol?
I have had several patients come in recently concerned about their cholesterol levels being high. The cholesterol bogeyman has raised its head again in these Covid virus times since the biggest co-factor that contributes to poor outcomes with a bout of Covid is metabolic syndrome, and high cholesterol is often part of the metabolic […]
