KBMO Diagnostics COVID-19 Rapid Test – new novel coronavirus antibody test
If you are interested in being tested for the novel coronavirus (CVID-19), there is a new option. Rather than testing for the virus directly, a test that measures antibodies to the virus can be done from a tube of blood. The collection can be made in your home, if you like. Soon, there will hopefully […]
Why do so many weird, nasty viruses come from China?
The novel coronavirus, which is the cause of COVID-19, is just the latest of a number of disease-causing viruses to apparently spring forth from China. In 1957 China gave us the Asian flu. Then in 1968, the Hong Kong flu killed about one million people. In 2003, Guangdong, China was the birthplace of SARS – […]
Vibrant COVID-19 Immunecheck – My top choice for coronavirus antibody tests
The Vibrant COVID-19 Immunecheck is, in my opinion, the best test for SARS-CoV-2 (novel coronavirus) antibodies. This blood test measures antibodies to 4 different antigens of the virus. Any elevated antibody result indicates that you have been infected. Depending which antibody is elevated, an estimate can be made whether you are still contagious. If you have an […]
You call that healthcare? The pathetic conventional approach to Hashimoto’s.
If all you do for your Hashimoto’s thyroiditis is take thyroid hormone replacement, you need to know that everything is not fine. Hashimoto’s is an alarm that your body is under attack – and a prescription is not the answer. Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, like other autoimmune diseases, results from your immune system attacking you. In the […]
What the Drug Companies Don’t Want You to Know About Heart Disease!
“Most patients with heart disease do not have a classic lipid disorder.” I heard those words spoken last night by a leading researcher in cholesterol and heart disease. I had the distinct pleasure of attending a lecture by world-expert Dr. Robert Superko entitled, “Going Beyond LDL: The Scientific Evidence”. Dr. Superko started off the evening […]
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!
No matter how you currently feel, chances are that a scientifically-tailored personalized lifestyle medicine program can help you become healthier. The fact is that unhealthy changes can occur in the body decades before signs and symptoms manifest. This is certainly true of many autoimmune conditions. By the time symptoms develop, the immune system may have destroyed […]
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 […]
