Are you suffering from acne? You certainly are not alone. Millions of people suffer from acne and those people have spent billions of dollars fueling the anti-acne industry seeking a cure for their problematic skin. Unfortunately, acne products, especially prescription antibiotics and creams often come with awful side effects (Accutane has been found to cause birth defects). Even more so disenchanting is that the treatments don’t always work and if they do, it’s temporary. Those afflicted with acne vary in extremes from those that have just a pesky zit to having debilitating acne. Unfortunately with a condition that afflicts so many and is so prevalent, a definitive causality of acne has not yet been established in medical literature.(1) What we do know is that there are many treatments available for acne, but there is no cure because we don’t know fully what actually causes acne.

Friday, March 18th, 2011Ever thought about nature of Night Sweats?
Friday, February 18th, 2011
While it may be ok to work up a sweat during exercise or physical activity, night sweats are something completely different, and diagnosing it as just a symptom of menopause can do more harm than good.
The truth is that there are several things that can be causing your night sweats, and it’s important, for each reason, to see a holistic doctor and get it checked out, so that it isn’t just cast aside as a menopausal symptom. Continue reading “Ever thought about nature of Night Sweats?” »
FDA tries to cure obesity with dangerous weight loss surgery. Is surgery the only option?
Tuesday, January 18th, 2011
Where do we stop when it comes to getting skinny? That’s often the question we ask when looking at a picture of a gaunt supermodel that we will never know, whose look we will never achieve. Or, we ask it when we hear about Hollywood and eating disorders.
But recently, the government is jumping in on trying to cure the obesity problem in the United States, not with methods to improve our diets, healthier and safer options, and guidelines, but instead, by looking into approving lap band procedure for millions more Americans.

Mummies Don’t Get Cancer
Tuesday, January 18th, 2011
If you knew that cancer has been around since the beginning of time, doesn’t the thought of a cure seem impossible? But what if you were told that cancer is actually not only on the rise, but didn’t exist in ancient history. That knowledge can lead to amazing breakthroughs in science, as well as hope for all of us that a change in our lifestyle may be a way to prevent the disease.
We see articles about it all the time. This medication now found to cause cancer, this activity now thought to lower the risk of cancer, this food linked to cancer or cancer prevention. It’s impossible to keep up. Even as a doctor, you’re recommendations to patients would constantly be changing, based on this study or that. Continue reading “Mummies Don’t Get Cancer” »
Weight Reduction Surgery Can Cause Permanent Damage
Tuesday, January 4th, 2011
There is no doubt that stomach-reducing surgeries can make you look and feel better. A guaranteed quick fix, it has become more and more common in the United States. Singer Carnie Wilson had a bigger career surrounding her weight loss surgery, health campaign, and eventual weight gain, than she did as the singer in the 90s pop band Wilson Phillips.
We have come to depend on these stomach surgeries when we feel that we have no other options. But the truth is, that once you have this surgery, you are forever altering your body, forever changing the way that your body takes in nutrients and micro elements. You will never be normal again.

Recession Vs. Health
Tuesday, January 4th, 2011
Several years back a local elected official in order to prove a point to government, set himself on a poor man’s diet. What he did was basically put his whole family on welfare for a month, to show how a poor family survives on little money. He took a $200 check and used it to buy a month’s supply of groceries.
What do you think happened to him at the end of 30 days? What do you spend per month on food?
I’ll tell you what would happen to the average family ( not this particular one ), if it has to eat cheap food: the whole family would end up unhealthy, feeling bloated and tired. They also would gain weight. It’s interesting that there is a nationally known term as “fat poor.” We used to assume that people who are poor would be skinny, because they couldn’t afford to eat, but instead, the horrible truth is that they eat unhealthy, cheaper food, filled with sugar and starch that fills them up longer. A nice dinner out for a family who can’t afford a sit down restaurant is usually fast food, which is loaded in fat, but quick and cheap.

OTC Acid Reducers And Grain-Fed Beef Can Decrease Chances To Fight Bacteria
Tuesday, January 4th, 2011
When a food recall is announced, the United States media jumps on the story. Words like “poisoned,” “contaminated,” “deadly” have become a part of our vocabulary in recent years, thanks to food recalls. It tears the industry apart and no doubt, has lasting effects on people.
Mad cow disease, tomatoes, kids peanut butter crackers, and now eggs, we are faced with a myriad of information that we have to filter through every time. What’s truly dangerous, is it in our area, what can we do to protect ourselves, is it ever safe to buy the product again, what’s next?
The truth is, that even with FDA controls, we can never truly protect the quality of our foods. There is always an opening for poisons, contamination, and deadly consequences.

The Whole Truth About Whole Grains
Sunday, November 21st, 2010
The “whole grains” you may be paying for, may actually not make a difference in your health! Even though the recent study, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, says that in combination with other healthy behavior, whole grain cereal may lower your risk for heart failure, it still does not sound convincing. And here is why.
This article, as well as other articles about using whole grain cereals ( like JAMA article about whole grains and risk of stroke ), was done on the group of people, who are adherent to a healthy life style, which includes not only eating whole grain cereals, but also exercising, refraining from smoking, maintaining low body mass index, etc.. So it is not really clear from these articles, what the benefit is coming from: whole grains or something else.

How Stress Can Shut You Down And Kill You
Tuesday, October 26th, 2010
While some people may seem to think that too much stress is the zest of life and keeps you going, it is actually the opposite that is true. Stress shuts you down and holds you hostage in your own body. It keeps you from properly acting and reacting and it can eventually kill you.
But, there are natural ways to relieve stress without zoning out on pills at the end of a hard day, or at the beginning to help you “handle” yourself. Continue reading “How Stress Can Shut You Down And Kill You” »
Poor Dental Hygiene Can Be Killing You
Tuesday, October 26th, 2010
Taking proper care of your mouth and teeth can save your life, and save you from a lifetime of chronic illnesses. Many of our illnesses have to do with inflammation, from arthritis to heart attack. Inflammation occurs when our bodies try to separate the illness from the rest of the body and is our body’s natural defense mechanism. But with the advent of the modern western lifestyle it may be working against us instead of protecting us.
When Did They Check You For Heavy Metal Toxicity Last Time?
Tuesday, October 26th, 2010
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.

To drink raw cow’s milk or not to drink?
Tuesday, October 26th, 2010
Even though raw caw’s milk is probably better, then drinking soda, it still is not really 100% natural. Reason: when men were created, there were no agriculture. Therefore our digestive system is not designed to drink cow’s milk. And it actually may do more harm then good because of 2 reasons:

Can Kidney Stones Be Stopped
Tuesday, October 19th, 2010
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.
How To Keep a Great-Looking Body After Menopause
Tuesday, October 19th, 2010
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?

Your Child May Be At Risk for a Brain Tumor
Tuesday, October 19th, 2010
None of our five senses can feel radio frequency or electromagnetic field so we used to think that it was harmless. Turns out, that may not be true. Especially for our children.
Multiple studies now suggest that radio frequency electromagnetic fields can damage brain cells and worse, cause cancer. It may range from highly aggressive glioblastoma, to relatively benign acoustic neuroma. But having even a benign brain tumor isn’t good. But why are children at higher risk?
The radio frequency electromagnetic filed penetration of the child’s brain is much higher than an adult’s. And the source of these radio frequency electromagnetic fields is cell phones!
The danger of using cell phones while driving is well known. It is even recognized by the government. Driving while talking on the cell phone is prohibited in many states because that risk is obvious. If you’re holding a phone, you’re not holding the wheel. But the danger of radio frequency electromagnetic fields is less recognized. However, even government now is making efforts to look into the problem (http://domesticpolicy.oversight.house.gov/story.asp?ID=2199).

Our Sex Life in Cyberspace
Tuesday, October 12th, 2010
It used to be about meeting, dating, courtship, marriage and sex. Any old-timer will tell you that. But, our high-tech, pilled up intimate lives are now so unnatural that one has to wonder how popular mating really is.
A recent article in the Huffington Post noted the seven ways that technology is changing the ways that we can have sex:
- adult web sites, as opposed to magazines of yesterday
- high tech adult toys that can be used virtually
- virtual sex sites
- online dating sites
- high tech sex dolls
- gps networking meet-up sites
- cybersex
And besides our new high tech methods of meeting and mating, what about when we finally do have regular sex. Men have had Viagra for quite some time now. It’s supposedly safe to use regularly. And most recently, there was a female version of Viagra put on the market, which the FDA didn’t approve, but be sure that it’s coming! Continue reading “Our Sex Life in Cyberspace” »
Heart Disease and Height Coincide
Tuesday, October 12th, 2010
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.
We Are Over-Exposed To Radiation
Tuesday, October 12th, 2010
A couple of weeks ago, President Obama talked about getting a physical recently. During that physical, we were shown some of the top-of-the-line tests that he received. Only the best for the president, right? And, since the president is of the proper age, he also received a colonoscopy, but he received a virtual colonoscopy. What’s so bad about that you may ask?
Well, as I know it, one of the reasons we get colonoscopies to help us identify if we have cancer, and hopefully catch it early so that we can live longer and healthier lives. But, President Obama, not knowingly, during that virtual colonoscopy, was exposed to enough radiation to give him cancer! Doesn’t that defeat the purpose of getting a colonoscopy done?
