A couple years ago I wrote a lengthy article on the causes of osteoarthritis. Check it out here. I wish to revisit this subject because, although the article was informative, it was shy on directions as to what to do specifically. Disease conditions are complex with many different factors that come into play in creating disease. I […]
I really like the idea of functional foods. What do I mean by functional foods? I am referring to foods that improve the function of our bodies. Most real foods serve us by supplying energy and raw materials the body uses to repair itself. Functional foods go beyond energy and raw materials by promoting specific […]
Fat is a subject that everyone thinks they already know all about, but which in reality is a huge area of information most folks don’t know anything about. Like so many things in this world, the modern world of fat has been split into two camps – the saturated fat camp and the unsaturated fat […]

None of the supposed dangers are showing up in lab tests […]
As the years go by, the single biggest indication of the passage of time in my body seems to be the gradual loss of energy. This is not just a personal observation, but it is in fact the single biggest complaint given by patients to every doctor. When asked what they want most in […]
