The situation is changing rapidly as the world reacts to the coronavirus pandemic.

I don’t use the word ‘pandemic’ to frighten you. Instead, it’s simply a term that means the disease has spread through multiple countries. So by definition, it’s a worldwide pandemic. It’s gone from Asia, to Europe, to North America.

You’ve likely noticed that widespread traveling is becoming less and less likely. Still, there may be situations where you are forced to travel in close quarters with others in the coming weeks. Continue reading →

Things are going to be a bit strange for the next few weeks. The coronavirus pandemic has been a non-stop presence in the news and in people’s minds.

In fact, I was thinking about it myself on the way to Publix the other night. I was headed there to pick up some water and frozen foods. So I could be prepared for the days ahead.

Yes… preparation is the key here. We should all prepare ourselves so we are more likely to stay healthy as this illness spreads through our population. Continue reading →

Medical errors can be scary…

A few years ago, I was in the ER with my friend because he was having a week of increasing lower abdominal pain and constipation. It was below his belly button and a little bit to the left. With his family history and after a quick exam, I was confident I knew his problem.

This was a clear case of diverticulosis — a dangerous condition where marble-sized pouches in the colon collect stool, bacteria, and undigested food particles.

So, I sat with my friend for five long hours waiting for the ER doctors to do their job. Continue reading →

You had a fun night with friends and drank a few glasses of wine. It’s an early day tomorrow. So — without thinking — you pop a few Tylenol and head off to bed.

When you wake up, you’re in a hospital hooked up to IVs with life-threatening liver damage due to a drug overdose.

Liver damage… due to Tylenol? Absolutely. Continue reading →

Honestly, I think it’s easier to get people to change their religion than to change their diet.

But I stand firm in believing a rainbow diet — one filled with a wide variety of colorful vegetables, fruits, nuts, spices, and seeds — is the key to better health.

In fact, I’ve had cancer patients who were given only six weeks to six months to live. They followed my diet recommendations and gained extra years of beautiful life. Continue reading →

When I was a kid, my father showed me how to cut a little X into the side of a ripe and juicy pomegranate. Then, he’d have me put the fruit to my lips, squeezing around the fruit with all my strength, as I sucked on the sweet nectar.

As long as you’re not wearing a white shirt, it’s the very best way to enjoy pomegranate juice.

Why the story? Continue reading →

I just love cranberry sauce.

And not just at Thanksgiving. I love it year round. In fact, I go to Trader Joe’s in the fall and buy two whole cases of the stuff to last me the year.

Mix in some orange and lemon zest… I just love it!

Now let’s be clear. I am not talking about that Ocean Spray large, loose jelly monster that comes out of a can… completely intact with ridges still on it. Continue reading →

  • Why aren’t autoimmune diseases getting more attention?
  • Leaky gut syndrome may be destroying your health
  • 5 ways to restore gut health to prevent (and reverse!) autoimmune disorders

Autoimmune diseases are continuing their rise these days. However, they don’t get nearly the same amount of attention as heart disease, diabetes or cancer.

Well let me fill you in on a few facts.

  • Somewhere around 16.5 million U.S. adults have coronary heart disease.
  • It’s estimated that 15.1 million people here in America are living with cancer.
  • 23.4 million American adults are dealing with type 2 diabetes.

These are horrible numbers. And we hear about them all of the time. But the number of people with autoimmune disease may be much higher than any of these very real threats to your health. Continue reading →

  • An overlooked cause of vitamin D deficiency
  • Magnesium and vitamin D work hand-in-hand to protect your health
  • How to get more of the “missing” mineral

As unbelievable as it may sound, at least 40% of Americans are vitamin D deficient. And depending on what measure is used as the cut-off for deficiency, it could be as many as 75%.

This is a huge problem. It’s also why I recommend that everyone have their vitamin D levels tested.

But what happens if you’re low on this nutrient? Will taking a vitamin D supplement bring your levels back up to part? And what if you are taking vitamin D supplements and still insufficient in this nutrient?

Well, today I want to alert you to another deficiency that may actually be robbing your stores of vitamin D. Continue reading →

  • The “spice of life” for all that ails you
  • Ginger for gastrointestinal distress, migraines and cancer
  • Cinnamon for your blood sugar, heart and memory

What’s inside your medicine cabinet? Is it loaded with antacids, pain relievers and prescription drugs?

Well, what if you could toss most of that stuff and rely almost exclusively on your spice rack to cure what ails you?

It might sound old-fashioned. But back in the day, herbs and spices were our medicine.

In fact, many of today’s most common medications are based on synthetic versions of medicinal compounds that are already found in nature.

And I’ll be honest. I’d much rather cure myself with natural compounds than ones that are manmade. Continue reading →
