Your body can be filled with high levels of toxins, but you may not know about it because heavy metal levels are not routinely checked. Moreover, it takes a lot of time to get the toxicology profile, because without it we do not know what to look for. Obviously, it is not the routine part of your routine checkup.
But there is another method to help you find out what can be causing your illness, so that you might be able to grab the bull by the horns and get rid of the illness, instead of taming the symptoms for short periods of time.

Kidney stones are one of the most painful urologic conditions. And they are one of the most common problems of urinary tract. Kidney stones are bothering people since ancient times: they were found in an Egyptian mummy. But it does not mean that you have to suffer from kidney stones. Because the formation of new kidney stones can be prevented.
Think about it: kidney stones are salts most likely calcium oxalate, that our body cannot prevent form making crystals in the kidneys. So what happened to your body? Is it at fault? Or may be you are not giving your body what it needs for proper functioning? Or may be we are giving our body too much junk it cannot get rid of? Probably both.

Everybody wants to have a perfect body. And it is not for vanity reasons only. Because a perfect body means not only pleasure but good health. Usually we believe that only young people can have it and with aging it is bound to deteriorate.
But that’s not always the case anymore. With the advent of modern treatments even miracles become the reality. Take a look yourself. Here are some images of Sharon Stone at the age of 50. Does she look like a mature woman? I don’t think so. She looks much younger than she actually is. And it is not only her face, but her whole body. So how does she have such a perfect body at her age?

Is it possible that the closer you are to the ground, the more likely you are to be sick?
A recent article in the Associated Press noted a study that found that short people had a 50 percent higher chance of getting heart disease, than taller people.
It is also important to note that other issues, like smoking and weight also played important roles in these heart disease risks.
Read the full article here: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100609/ap_on_he_me/eu_med_short_people_heart_problems
Well, there could be several reasons for this. Besides being hereditary, being short could also be because there is a growth hormone deficiency or malnutrition, celiac spru or parasites. And malnutrition in our society, or at least in the subjects they were looking at in the study, was not really a factor.
The bottom line is that if you feel like this might be something that you are faced with, or you are worried that you may be growth hormone deficient, or have an unhealthy gut, you should have yourself tested.

When an 80-year-old suffers a stroke, we accept it. It is terrible, but it’s common, a part of aging practically. But when a child suffers a stroke it’s a tragedy. They have their whole lives ahead of them. How will it affect their brain, their physical skills, their future?
“It turns out that stroke, by some estimates, is the sixth leading cause of death in infants and children. And experts say doctors and hospitals need to be far more aggressive in detecting and treating it,” says a New York Times article published about a boy named Jared, who suffered a stroke at the age of 7. (read the story here http://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/19/health/19stroke.html).
How can we explain when children start having strokes? They do not have high blood pressure, they do not have high cholesterol, etc.
One plausible explanation is estrogen dominance ( this is my personal explanation ).

As a society we seem to always be concerned with how we look. And, actually, rightfully so. We are, in general, overweight and unhealthy. As a whole, our western culture gives us bad skin, pains, toxins, hair loss, erectile dysfunction, etc. But, you set yourself some goals this New Year. You were going to lose weight. And you did. But your belly still sticks out like a balloon. What’s going on here? Your arms and legs, shoulders and face look thinner, but your belly just won’t go away.
Well, the answer is that you could just be bloated. Many times, you are assuming your still fat or that you need to “tone up” but really you need to look into your diet. Continue reading “Is bloating a reason for your weight gain?” »

Fruit and vegetables are our security blanket as a nation. We are told to eat such a large amount of fruit and vegetables per day. Loaded with vitamins and straight from mother nature. What else can you ask for?
The United States Department of Agriculture tells us that almost half of our food intake per day should be made up of fruits and vegetables (http://www.mypyramid.gov/pyramid/index.html).
But what all this hasn’t accounted for is the number of pesticides in our fruits and vegetables that could be not only killing the good effects of the fruit and vegetables, but killing us as well.
We could be poisoning ourselves. And its important to know that washing or peeling fruit may remove some of the pesticides, but not all. So how else can we protect ourselves? Continue reading “An Apple A Day May Not Really Keep The Doctor Away” »

According to a recent article published in the New York Times (http://www.nytimes.com/2010/06/06/health/06obese.html?ref=health) the rise in the number of Caesarian Sections, untimely deaths and birth defects in newborns might be attributed to the fact that one in five American women are obese when they get pregnant.
According to that article babies that are born to obese women are three times as likely to die in the first month and the problems are not only with the babies. The problems are also with the mothers. Obese women have higher blood pressure, diabetes, and a host of other illnesses that come with being overweight that they are dying, too!
Hospitals are trying to cope by buying larger cots, longer tools, and offering counseling on weight loss, but what does this trend show?

Even though antidepressants are much more often prescribed today, and mostly to the baby boomer generation, the statistics show that the rate of suicide among those between 45-54 are still the highest. Why is that? Shouldn’t easier accessibility and more drugs be solving our problems.
Actually, instead, it proves the point exactly, that medication and magic pills don’t really solve everything.

Are you frustrated with beauty treatments because you spend a lot of money and still don’t look younger? Do you still have sagging skin and wrinkles you cannot hide with makeup? Do you feel tired because of sleepless nights, insomnia and mood swings?
Do you think that getting a few tiny wrinkles around your eyes is not a bid deal. What you do not know is: a few wrinkles may portend a big disaster in your life — aging with hormonal imbalance.
You wake up one day and you really look at yourself in the mirror. It didn’t happen overnight, but it sure feels like it did. You got old! Your wrinkles are prominent, your skin in sagging, you have bags under your eyes from lack of sleep, and you look tired and haggard. What caused this, and how did it happen to you? You are not ready to think of yourself as old, yet.
“Every wrinkle has a reason,” says Sergey Kalitenko, MD, an Anti Aging Holistic Physician, practicing in Great Neck, Nassau county, Long Island, as well as Brooklyn and Manhattan. “There are several reasons why wrinkles happen, and it’s important to know that they cannot all be treated the same way. You need to know the reason for wrinkles to treat them appropriately.”
At Dr. Kalitenko’s offices in Great Neck, they use biofeedback and other tests to look into the root cause of your aging problems, and find the right ways to identify, diagnose, and treat them.
Appropriate history taking, physical exam and tests will show that your wrinkles came from either:

Did you know that 5,000 people a year die from tainted food? From everything from salmonella to e-coli, U.S. food is in danger because it goes unchecked at so many points. And foods that shouldn’t be causing us illnesses are being contaminated, leaving us a very small safety window. Read more hear: http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/eid/vol5no5/mead.htm and http://www.who.int/mediacentre/factsheets/fs237/en/
While the FDA runs around trying to catch up with what is contaminated, and a food safety bill sits stalled in the senate since July, we are left with dangerous foods.
It is almost impossible to keep track of food recalls today. When we worried about mad-cow disease, the whole world seemed to stop and take notice, the tomato scare, a little bit less, the peanut-butter thing, ehhh, what could it really do? It’s how we as a society react to real threats. Unfortunately, media decides how we truly feel about something. Sure, if you look deeply into any subject you will know so much more, but most of us get our information from the evening news, or maybe a newspaper, possibly on our computers during lunch-hour, and if our reporters aren’t covering it, you aren’t hearing it.
Here’s a true story: several years ago, there was a summer when all you heard about was shark attacks. Do you remember? Everyday, there was a shark being spotted here, a person being attacked here. We were suddenly at risk of sharks. Then, all of the sudden, they disappeared. Truth was, that the year before, there were actually way more shark attacks than the year it was covered in the news, but you never would have known it. Here’s why. It was simply a boring summer. There were no elections, race riots, no stars being arrested. Media still has to fill an hour of TV time. They still need to get you to read their paper instead of someone else’s. And the way to do it is fear. Oh my gosh, I might be attacked by a shark. I should buy that paper and read how I can protect myself.

Often patients come into my office and tell me that it was just impossible for them to have sex with their partners anymore. It is either pain caused by vaginal dryness, that was making it so terrible, or such severe back-pain, that they couldn’t stand it anymore.
Initially, they usually tell me, they put up with it for their mate’s sake. They do not want their partners to think that it was anything that their partners are doing. But eventually, they started avoiding intimacy, or coming up with excuses to not have it. They tell their mates the truth and tried various positions, but eventually they get turned off at always being hurting their partners. And they do not enjoy intimacy any more. Such patients are desperate.

Over the course of the last few decades the sun has basically become our enemy. It is the cause of skin cancer, wrinkles, problem after problem after problem. But is the sun really to blame for any of this. The sun’s always been there, but it’s really only caused a problem in the last few years. Why is it that it is so dangerous?
Truthfully, the sun is crucial to our survival. We need it to help our foods to grow, to give us light and to make us feel alive. The effects of vitamin D, produced in our body with sunlight help, are never disputed and the amount of vitamin D we can get naturally is always better than taking it in supplement form. But, as we humans always do, we take a good thing and take it too far. Continue reading “Sun Exposure Is Not Our Killer” »

Depression is a very serious subject and by no means does any doctor, functional, holistic or alternative, downplay the seriousness of what depression can cause. The symptoms of depression are vast, from physical to mental to emotional. The effects are devastating on it’s victims, families, careers, children and futures. Suicide is the most awful ending to depression, but it is not the most common at all.
Most people live with depression. Some seek counseling, while others just suffer through the symptoms. Many learn to live with the symptoms until life is only a shell of what it used to be. But this is not how to handle depression. Even treatment, with a psychiatrist and medication, may not always help the ways that one may expect.
Some of the basic signs of depression include: Continue reading “Why Depression Medication Fails Us” »

We all know how we get when we don’t have enough sleep. We are cranky and we look terrible. Often, we are too tired to perform our normal daily tasks. But those are just the things we notice right away. Dig deeper and see how having an unhealthy sleep pattern can affect your brain much more severely than you may think. Take for example our ability to make quick and smart decisions, or to solve problems. All of those examples are hindered on even just one night of bad sleep. Imagine how a person with insomnia must feel.
Every doctor will stress the importance of good sleeping habits, but a doctor, practicing functional medicine, will get to the root of the problem, find out what it causing your bad sleep, and help you solve it. There could be many reasons why you are not sleeping well. Everything from stress, to what you eat can easily affect your sleep. Continue reading “Insomnia Keeps You From Problem Solving” »

Quinolones, basically synthetic, broad-spectrum antibiotics, are used to treat almost everything, from urinary tract infections to gynecological infections, STDs, skin infections, and respiratory infection like bronchitis, pneumonia and sinusitis. And yet, a very well known side effect of quinolones is that it can cause tendon rupture.
This can become a huge problem. Quinolones can cause tendon rupture, and someone who is just on treadmill or running while on the medication can tear their Achilles tendon. The recommendation is usually that you don’t run or jog while on the medication.

The outlook for 2010 is bleak. Homes will continue to be foreclosed, jobs will be lost, and less money will be flowing as compared to years past. Also inevitable: we will get another year older. Bad news, right?
Not really!
