July 9, 2023 I suspect that most of you do not spend much time thinking about your bile flow. Perhaps if you have ever had gallbladder symptoms it may have crossed your mind […]

Keto-vegetarian
The title sounds like a contradiction in terms. Ketogenic diets are associated with eating lots of fatty meats, cheeses, eggs, and nuts. Vegetarian diets, on the other hand, are associated with lots of steamed vegetables, salads, legumes, whole grains, and wheatgrass juice.

What is Detox?
People are starting to bandy about the detox word more and more these days, yet when I ask them what detox actually means they generally have no idea.

Protein Recycling
We live in a truly wonderful age for reasons we completely take for granted, like sewers and garbage service. Turn the clock back just a couple hundred years and your typical London home had a cesspit beneath the house that, when full, would then flow into a trough in the middle of the street and hopefully flow […]

Choline
Last week I came across an article about the use ofcholine for the treatment of fatty liver disease. This grabbed my attention because many years ago I had acquired fatty liver disease after flirting with fruitarianism for several months.

Detoxification
Poisons, poisons everywhere. I have written many articles on the huge variety of poisons in our food, water, air, and living environments. We have considered diet changes, water purification, air cleaners, and a host of replacement products for the toxic ones sold at the stores to clean our houses and selves with. But the truth is, […]

Fat Burning
Few topics are as near and dear to everyone’s heart as how to lose weight. More magazine covers are spent on this topic in the checkout line at your local grocery store than any other subject. The amazing thing is how many weight loss diets there are out there. How can there possibly be so […]

Intermittent Fasting
Last week a patient asked me why I hadn’t written an article on intermittent fasting. I was amazed, because it has been a mainstay of my lifestyle for years now. I feel like I have written about it many times, but maybe I have never actually come out and named it by name. Possibly this is because I […]
