My best birthday present EVER

Great Things are Coming I had a patient that had been very ill for many years, even though he was only in his early 40's. He had a disabled family member so he not only had his own health issues but also theirs on his plate. He was at his wit's end. The many docs he had seen could not figure anything out so the last several years he had been told repeatedly that it was all in his head. He was told to now go see psychiatrists. In going over the blood work I saw a marker for a tumor [...]

FluShotGate – Flu Shot Recommendation Concerns

Should everyone get a flu shot? The evidence, looked at with a scientific eye, is shocking. It's getting really weary seeing how much medicine is run by profit driven drug companies and physicians that do not think, read or investigate for themselves and their patients. I do not like reading yellow journalistic sensationalistic stuff, and I like writing it even less. But yeeeech! In an interview published in The Atlantic, Tom Jefferson, head of the Vaccine Field Group at the Cochrane Database Collaboration (the world's leading producer of evidence-based medical reviews and the go-to place to get the science FACTS RIGHT), [...]

Life in Your Face

The Real Vitamin C - Connection In the last 4 months I have had more than 7 acquaintances die of cancer. (All younger than me.) I have had three friends get a diagnosis of stage 4 metastatic cancer and another got early stage... Health is our greatest wealth. Grasp it now, don't wait to get a diagnosis. And your life? It's passing second-by-second. LIVE! Tell folks you love them. Smile as a gift to folks you don't know. Take a chance you've been pondering. Do something today, or two things, that are NOT all about distracted schedules or others. Connect. The real vitamin C. [...]

Best Anti-Aging Tools

Hormones tested, tweaked, individualized. These are the main signaling molecules protecting your brain and gut. Microbiome protected. Nutrients nestled well inside cells.... because you are digesting. Passions lived or attempted. Purpose driven. And sometimes lazy as hell. Life shared. God remembered. Moving no matter what. Being gentle especially on yourself. Speaking supportive SELF talk inside your own head. Finding a community that sees you, laughs with you, cherishes with you. If you have lost hope, find someone to help you find it. Hope re-found is an anchor for a younger perspective and spirit. And never ever ever give up.

How to Make Your Weight New Year’s Resolutions Succeed, instead of Fail by Berkson

It's such a bummer when you go to zip up a sexy outfit, and you are now a size bigger than when you bought it. Ugh. The bigger your belly, not only do you feel less attractive, your brain doesn't work as well. And potentially dangerous inflammatory and painful molecules are more apt to lurk in cellular hide outs. January is a great time to make New Year’s Resolutions, which often revolve around determination to lose weight. But only 1/5th (20%) of dieters keep their weight off successfully after a diet, according to Jessica Bartfield, MD, internal medicine specialist in nutrition [...]

Depressed? Need a PSYCHOLOGIST OR NUTRITIONIST?

The times they are a changing. Used to be if you had depression, why you had a Prozac deficiency. But no drug comes without some downsides. Less libido. Rebound trying to get off. No one mentions the link of SSRIs to possible future neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson’s. Or even cancer. And, these meds cost a lot of dough and create wide spread wear and tear on the entire health care system. What may be coming to the rescue… NUTRITION! The International Society for Nutritional Psychiatry Research has put out a new short and sweet consensus statement. It emphasizes that there is [...]

Most ‎essential‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬ vitamin? By Berkson

What is the most critical vitamin to have in your life? Discipline. Discipline yourself to live happy, be happy, pursue happy, treat others happily, treat yourself happily, and when in doubt or angst or fed up, get happier. Happiness honed, cultivated, and practiced, is your ticket. Your ticket to… happiness. But like all other highly prized attributes, it has to become a habit. And habits occur through practice, failure, repetition, and never giving up.
