Don’t let your microflora break your heart!…or bones…or brain…or joints…or…
February is Heart Health month. So, of course, I’d like to speak to you about your …gut! Once laughed at by conventional medicine, dysbiosis (imbalanced intestinal flora) is now verified to be a major cause of disease. There is an explosion of research in the field of microflora or microbiome. These terms refer to the […]
Don’t let your M.D. tell you that you don’t have a gluten problem until you have this test!
So much chronic unwellness can be attributed to gluten sensitivity and to leaky gut syndrome. I have written on both of these subjects before. Fatigue, pain, brain fog, depression, digestive symptoms, asthma, kidney disease, sore tongue, and vitamin D deficiency are a sample of the hundreds of possible manifestations of gluten sensitivity, which can affect […]
When Eliminating Gluten Does Not Help
Eliminating gluten-containing grains from your diet can have dramatic health benefits, especially if your immune system reacts to this protein. However, if you stop eating gluten and don’t feel great after a reasonable period of time, something is wrong. One possibility is that you have not totally eliminated gluten from your diet. You need to […]
Prevent and Reverse Autoimmune Disease!

Are “Health” Foods & Supplements Destroying Your Health?
One man’s food is another man’s poison. Truer words were never spoken. It is fairly obvious that a diet of potato chips and soda will lead to health problems. What may not be as obvious is that “good” whole foods can cause unhealthy changes in any given individual. Your headaches? Those might be from a […]
The Cause of All Disease?
Have you been tested for the condition that may stand between you and a healthy future? For over two decades I have been excoriated by conventional medicine for evaluating and treating patients for “leaky gut syndrome”. Thanks to a tsunami of published research, there is no scientific basis for denying this condition any longer. The […]
How Healthy Are You?
A Multi-Faceted Approach to Measuring Health & Wellness Many individuals are walking around with an illusion of health.

The truth is that a conventional medical evaluation […]
Natural Allergy Relief
Allergy – It’s something in the air…and in your blood It’s that time of year when millions of people are miserable from allergy symptoms. Allergy symptoms result from the immune system’s attack against a harmless substance. Although this is the worst time of year for many allergy sufferers, allergies can manifest year round. “Hay-fever” or […]
Depressed? It’s all in your…Gut!?
The Mind-Body Continuum As crazy as it may sound, many cases of depression stem from an unhealthy state in the gastrointestinal tract. When you think of depression what organ do you think of? Probably the brain, right? The brain is important when it comes to depression but the brain does not function in a vacuum. The old […]
The Most Under-Appreciated Factor in Health & Aging.
