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 […]
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 […]
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. […]
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.

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.

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 […]
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 […]
Well the science is finally pouring in and the myth that saturated fat and cholesterol causes heart disease is broken. The Seven Countries’ study started by Ancel Keys way back in 1958 to promote his belief that saturated fat and dietary cholesterol caused heart disease has been disproven as simply bad science created by cherry picking […]
While I was on vacation visiting my family in San Diego, I came across a fascinating article on increasing lifespan by restricting AGEs – Advanced Glycation End Products. (Yes, its true, even on vacation I am doing research.) Why should you care? Because AGEs are what you get when you eat BBQ and bacon and […]
A very modern phenomenon that has become oh so popular is snacking. Until the late 1800’s consuming any food that did not require proper utensils was considered uncouth and unhygienic.
