In my last newsletter I mentioned the idea I had that osteoporosis is really a collagen disease rather than what the mainstream medical community is telling us. I have been continuing to dig into this subject and I am finding more information. My initial hit that collagen formation was a critical aspect of osteoporosis appears […]
An issue that has been coming up for a lot of patients lately is how to keep their adjustments in place. They will come in to see me for some complaint, I put things back together, and they are fine for several days to a couple weeks. Then for seemingly little reason their back, or […]
I have been interested in and researching metabolic detoxification pathways for about a month now. In the pursuit of health it is becoming increasingly clear that the modern challenge to health is primarily the buildup of toxic poisons in our body. This is pretty new for the history of human kind. Throughout most of our history […]
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 […]
Cholesterol is one of the bogymen of the modern medical delivery system. Be careful or the cholesterol bogyman will get you has been the favorite chant for the last 50 years.

One of the bonus pieces I picked up at the Blood Chemistry seminar was a way to fix hypochlorhydria. What’s that you ask? It is low acid production in the stomach. It is the real cause for acid reflux. It is also the starting point for most digestive disorders like gas, bloating, and leaky gut. […]
I spent three days last week at a blood chemistry seminar down in the Bay Area. I thought when I signed up for the seminar that it would be rather dry – just lots of pathologies revealed by tiny variations in numbers from your blood chemistry after you go to a lab and have blood […]
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 […]
Few things are as frustrating to many of my patients as the mysterious abdominal bloat that comes and goes. Bloating is one of those symptoms that is hard to quantify. For some people it is feeling of a too full belly, for others it is abdominal distention that comes on suddenly, and for others it […]
