WHAT EXACTLY DOES “SAFE” MEAN WHEN PREGNANT?
You’re pregnant. You’re concerned with pretty much everything you do and how it may help or harm your baby (or at least you should be..). So, of course, you value your doctor’s opinion on what is safe or not…

FLU SEASON–JUST HOW EFFECTIVE IS THAT DARN SHOT?
This is certainly not the first time I’ve addressed the flu vaccine in the Rantings. But despite my widespread influence, word just doesn’t seem to be getting out. Given the massive hype that accompanies “flu season”…

THINK YOU SHOULD WAIT AND SEE IF YOUR LOW BACK PAIN GOES AWAY?
Low back pain will affect some 80% of us in our lifetimes. For some, it the first episode ever. For others, it’s the second or third or fourth episode in as many years. Others seem to “throw out” their back just by…

SHOULD WE BE LOOKING AT CHOLESTEROL AT ALL?
Everyone not living in a cave understands that total cholesterol is linked to heart disease. We understand this almost entirely thanks to the development of the class of drugs called statins, of which Lipitor is king…

DOES MAMMOGRAPHY SAVE LIVES?
Ok. Not ANOTHER post beating up mammography. Close, but not quite. Another post pointing out just how weak mammography really is at saving lives. You see, mammography is raised on a pedestal by stories of women who…

A NEW 8TH BENEFIT OF BREASTFEEDING
I know I may get some flax here as a male stating that breastfeeding should really NOT be an option, but if a couple makes a decision to have a child EVERY decision needs to be in that child’s best interest. Some say…

DIABETICS SHOULD TAKE THIS VITAMIN
First and foremost, diabetes should ALWAYS be managed principally with diet. However, in the short term, until the changes are fully implemented, there are supplements that can be powerful players in improving your…

DO THIS TO LOWER YOUR RISK OF PRETERM BIRTH
It is very well accepted that there are many things that can be done to contribute to a healthy, full term pregnancy. The healthier the couple is prior to conception (yes–BOTH parents), the NON-reliance on assisted…

WHICH DISEASE HAS INFLAMMATION BEEN ASSOCIATED WITH?
Feeling inflamed? Try B6… Inflammation has been associated with pretty much every chronic disease you can think of, but most notably heart disease. Mainstream medicine has been slow to adopt the concept of hsCRP as a…

USE PLANT STEROLS FOR CHOLESTEROL PROBLEMS
CHOLESTEROL PROBLEMS? SKIP STATINS AND USE PLANT STEROLS. For some strange reason, mainstream medicine seems absolutely enthralled with the use of statins for “prevention,” although this is a disturbing definition of…

TELOMERIC AGING IN PATIENTS WITH HEART DISEASE
Healthy fats the fountain of youth? Telomeres are the little tags of DNA at the end of our chromosomes. The longer the telomere, the longer that cell can live. Shorten the telomere and the cell will die faster. Recent…

RESISTS STAINS BUT DESTROYS THE THYROID?
RESISTS STAINS BUT DESTROYS THE THYROID? Chemicals in Scotchguard have been found to affect thyroid function. But this is no big shocker–the thyroid has always been considered the “yellow canary” of the human body when…

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN INFERTILITY, MEN AND FATS
INFERTILITY, MEN AND FATS. We often talk about infertility as it relates to women and PCOS, but the man can be equally to blame. In this study, researchers found that infertile men had higher levels of omega 6 fats…

PROTECTING OUR ARTERIES WITH GARLIC
PROTECTING OUR ARTERIES WITH GARLIC. I always remind patients that cholesterol all by itself does NOT cause damage to our arteries. It is not until cholesterol becomes oxidatively damaged (now called an oxysterol) that…

ARE MIGRAINE HEADACHES DANGEROUS?
Most people who suffer from true migraine headaches believe that they have a problem in their brain, and that’s why their head hurts. This is the concept that mainstream medicine promotes, so, when the headache is…

ARE YOUR TRIGLYCERIDES ELEVATED?
Triglycerides elevated? Statins AREN’T the answer. Time and time and time again I see patients come into my office that have been given a statin (Lipitor, Crestor, etc..) for their cholesterol. However, while most know…

IS INFERTILITY KILLING OUR LIVERS?
Infertility killing our livers? Unfortunately, you won’t hear the OB tell this to the GI doc. The reality is that PCOS (polycystic ovaries) is the most common cause of infertility in women and it is, without a doubt, a…

ARE HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE DRUGS KILLING US?
HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE DRUGS KILLING US?? I hear time and time again an almost identical phrase from patients when I ask about why they mark high blood pressure on their intake form…”It is under control with medication.” I…

INDUSTRY SPONSORSHIP AND SELECTION OF COMPARATORS
