Fairly often I have patients come in worried about their cholesterol levels. Their medical doctor has told them that they are at serious risk of having a heart attack or stroke because their cholesterol levels are too high. I will ask them what their total cholesterol levels are and they will guiltily confess that […]
As promised last week, we are going to look at physical therapies and exercise that are an intrinsic part of a body makeover. So far we have focused on healing the gut and reducing systemic inflammation. Our head should be clearer and our gut happier. Now let’s focus on the body at large, and that refers […]
A patient came in the other day saying that he had found a new miracle drug for inflammation – boron! He had been taking just a few milligrams a day for a week and his knee pain and restriction had completely gone away. That sounded pretty impressive to me. I knew of the importance […]
Things are heating up concerning the spread of the Covid virus with the unfolding of the omicron variant. It appears to be spreading much faster than the previous variants. A few days ago the CDC reported 1 million new cases in one day. Fortunately, this variant appears to be milder than earlier versions with […]
A couple of weeks ago the trade magazine Chiropractic Economics emailed me a link to a free e-book on treating arthritis. The book was 60 pages long and reviewed several approaches to dealing with arthritis.

Nothing has gripped the American attention this strongly on personal levels since the threat of imminent nuclear destruction in the early 1960s. Possibly the brief hullabaloo over Y2K causing the collapse of technology-based civilization may have grabbed some people’s imagination as strongly […]
It appears we are now in the Covid 19 era. The hopes we had that this whole thing would pass away after a couple months of hyper vigilance and isolation have been dashed. After only a week of reduced restrictions the cases numbers climbed sufficiently that many restrictions were replaced. Movie theaters never did get […]
One of the lovely byproducts I have been seeing from this Covid 19 scare is more people outside taking walks in the sun. At least in my neighborhood, I see people through my front door window walking up and down the street all day long. I expect this will slow down as the weather heats […]
This is the lamp Ellen and I use every other day to stimulate our skin to produce the vitamin D and the cholesterol sulfate our bodies need.
The latest reports on the Covid-19 spread suggest that 60 to 70% of the US population will get the infection before it is over sometime in the next 2 years. The current belief is that once enough people have gotten the infection and built up a natural immunity, only then will the spread be stopped. […]
