One of my patients asked me to write an article about the current coronavirus pandemic. I replied that this was such a new virus out in the public that I had no information about this critter. All the research has been done in top secret Biolabs, which don’t publish their findings. The commercial press has […]
I spent all day last Saturday and Sunday parked in front of my computer taking in a Livestream seminar on autoimmunity. I had to log in at 8:45 and didn’t finish until 5:45 each evening. The first day was all about how ugly and depressing autoimmunity is. There is no cure. There is only management […]
Our skin is the largest organ in our body. We don’t tend to think of it as an organ, but it is. Its number one function is protection. Our skin keeps outside stuff out and inside stuff in. It functions not only as a physical barrier, but it hosts a huge array of healthy microbes […]
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 […]
The terror of sun exposure is a favorite topic pushed on us by our ever concerned medical establishment. Public health messages focus on the dangers of too much ultraviolet light radiation hitting our skin and causing genetic damage promoting skin cancers and accelerated aging of the skin.

This was because the basic biology for all of these issues is the same. […]
The last two weeks have been a killer for all my patients with allergies. First it was the pine trees and then the oak trees that started dumping blankets of yellow dust on everyone’s cars. At first it is hard to tell if the stuffy nose and scratchy throat are just a virus trying to take […]
I don’t know about you, but I have a boatload of supplements at my house. They are all over the kitchen counter. They have entire cupboards for themselves. They have even spread into the dining room. That of course does not count the entire bedroom that has been converted to powdered herbal extract formulations. Obviously I […]
It is time to bring osteoporosis back up on my patients’ radar. Are you doing what is necessary to prevent this lifestyle disease? Since 26% of women will experience severe bone loss leading to fractures, it is an important topic. While much of the basic physiology remains the same, I wish to review the recommendations […]
It is officially here – flu season. I have had a few people here and they’re showing up with the occasional flu bug. But the real flu season begins about two weeks before Halloween with the first four bags of Halloween candy that you picked up at the store. After all, the bags have been […]
