Can we rebuild the cartilage in our joints once it has started to degenerate away? Most of my readers are over 45. so this is an important question for them. In truth, our joints start wearing down from age 25 on, but usually, we don’t feel it for 20+ years at least, unless we […]
Last weekend I went to a seminar titled Building a Better Brain. The seminar email said that it was about how to treat Alzheimer’s and cognitive decline. The lecturer was a kick-ass gal from Georgia who really knew her stuff. More importantly, she was in actual clinical practice dealing with real patients every day. This […]
Twice this last week patients asked me about how to cleanse their livers. This is not a common question, but a very important one. Nearly 80% of the detoxification, the removal of poisons from our body, is handled by our liver. The rest is handled by our lungs, kidneys, and skin. The bowels serve as […]
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 […]

Even if you have been divinely good, this […]

One of the important aspects of doing a detox diet is getting the poisons all the way out of your system. In my past when I would do water fasts to clean out my system, there was no consideration for this need. Water fasting is a very traditional method of detoxification, but I now believe […]
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, […]
