Milk… It Does Your Body Good?

By David Blyweiss, M.D., Advanced Natural Wellness

February 10, 2021

Milk… it does a body good, right?  Well, actually no.

If you look at things from a medical perspective, milk is actually a huge problem.  It contributes greatly to cancer and diabetes — among other problems…

Personally, I can’t eat dairy anymore without being close to a bathroom for a half-dozen visits over two or three hours. Continue reading

Let’s Get Down and Dirty…

Down here in Florida, we’ve got alligators.

That probably sounds like a no-brainer to you.  But for some, this fact was forgotten when they moved into an exclusive community in southern Florida.

Years ago, a developer bought something like 300,000 acres of the Everglades and filled in the natural swamplands. Then, he added multimillion dollar homes with massive pools. Continue reading

You Have My Permission to Eat This Again…

By David Blyweiss, M.D., Advanced Natural Wellness

February 3, 2021

Every time I visit Trader Joe’s, I fill my cart with a variety of rainbow colored fruits and vegetables.  But there’s one food — a superfood — I never go without… eggs!

Yes.  For years, eggs were wrongly labeled as “unhealthy.”  People worried they would raise cholesterol or contribute to heart disease. But more recently, science has won out.

So, I want to set the record straight…  eggs are healthy! Continue reading

Did you ever have a really strong reaction to a medication?

Maybe a friend of yours swears by it, but when you take the same exact pills, your body feels like you’ve been through the wringer.

Well, that’s not just your imagination. Continue reading

GMO, genetically modified food

GMO Foods: What Were We Thinking?

By David Blyweiss, M.D., Advanced Natural Wellness

January 15, 2021

There’s no doubt modern science can do some pretty fantastic things…

Just look at our recent advancements in space science or the newest vaccination for COVID-19.  With the right amount of funding and enough brains in action, we can achieve greatness.

But sometimes those advancements aren’t for the best.  Just look at the recent rapid rise in genetically modified organisms (GMO). Continue reading

The #1 Lesson I Learned From Living Abroad

By David Blyweiss, M.D., Advanced Natural Wellness

January 8, 2021

I never used to eat fish.  It just tasted… well, like FISH!  I thought it was slimy, greasy and just plain awful.

Then, I moved to the Caribbean nation of Grenada to live for a few years and everything changed.

I used to wake up with the sun streaming in my window.  Looking down over the mountainside, I would see workers on 10-foot long fishing boats hard at work on the seas. Continue reading

The 10 Commandments for Meat Eating

By David Blyweiss, M.D., Advanced Natural Wellness

December 25, 2020

I like meat.

Perhaps once a week, I’ll sit down to a delicious meal with one of my favorite meat dishes…

It might be braised lamb cooked to perfection.  Or, I’ll try a beautiful piece of salmon beside some delicious grilled veggies. Then, there are the nights where I’ll cook up some bison and pile it high with toppings for a burger.

Even though I often preach about eating mostly veggies, I do love a quality piece of meat on occasion.  That’s why I wanted to clear up some confusion on when and how meat should be enjoyed in your own home. Continue reading

A Salad Full of Poison?

By David Blyweiss, M.D., Advanced Natural Wellness

December 19, 2020

Years ago, I switched to a mainly plant-based diet. Most of the time, this way of eating is very enjoyable.  But, during the winter, it can be a little harder to find my favorite organic fruits and vegetables.

I’m a little particular on this front, because I try hard to keep my weekly dose of poisonous chemicals to a minimum.

And I’m not exaggerating there.  Because every time you venture into the produce aisle, you are surrounded by foods that have been doused in poisonous chemicals… called pesticides. Continue reading

Is Your Mouth Making You Sick?

December 18, 2020

When you start to feel sick, I’ll bet you don’t think about your mouth as the cause of the problem. Well, for one of my friends, that’s exactly what she discovered…

After a routine dental procedure, she began to feel more and more sick.  And the sickness wasn’t just in her mouth.  She felt ill throughout her entire body.

Nothing she tried helped her feel better.  That’s when her doctor finally asked about her recent root canal. Continue reading

Statin Drugs are a Huge Waste of Money

By David Blyweiss, M.D., Advanced Natural Wellness

December 4, 2020

You know, I’ve been saying it for years…

And now as the medical community becomes more and more aware of recent well designed studies,they are becoming more and more unified in their thinking on something important… statins.

And the news isn’t good.  One study I read recently called statins a “colossal waste of money.”

So, if you are currently taking statins to lower your cholesterol levels, you should read carefully.  Not only have you been misled by clever marketing, but these drugs may actually be putting your health at risk. Continue reading
