Do You Need Surgery for a Torn Cartilage in Knee?
Your MRI shows that you have a tear in the medial meniscus of your knee and you have resigned yourself to the fact that surgery is the only fix. The belief has always been that the posterior horn (the back half) of the…

Chronic Migraine Headaches and Seizures Linked
Only the most learned will view migraine headaches and seizures through the same lens, despite some very apparent similarities in the underlying causes. One of the learned would of course be me. I can say this because…

Slow This Down to Slash Diabetes Risk
Many think that preventing Type 2 diabetes requires a major overhaul on your lifestyle. For many, this IS true, but sometimes some incredibly simple changes can have powerful results. I have always felt that food is…

Natural Help for ADHD: Brain Health Answers
In the discussion and treatment of kids with ADHD, brain health never seems to come into play. We talk about behaviors and medications and diagnosing these kids, but never about the critical aspect–improving the health…

Wag the Dog, Healthcare Style
It’s not jaw dropping news hear that industry has an undo influence on medicine today. The routes by which industry infiltrates medicine, however, is just short of legendary. I have always wondered how we got to where…

Thyroid Cancer Death Higher In Younger Ages
In a recent blog post, I pointed out the very strong relationship between thyroid nodules and prediabetes and diabetes. Not surprising, considering that the diabetic spectrum is the worst thing that could happen to your…

Can We Stop Allergies Before They Start In the Womb?
Allergies can be characterized by an imbalance in the way that our immune system reacts to things. We need balance in our immune system, but this balance is trained; it is not hard wired. On one side, we have the…

Type 1 Diabetes Cure Begins In THIS Organ System
Type 1 diabetes in a child is a heartbreaking scenario. While children readily adapt, it’s not fair that any child should need to be tied that closely to any type of consistent medical intervention. On the plus side, I…

Migraines in Children: How Well Do Meds Work?
Few things are as difficult as seeing your child in pain. I remember when Keegan broke his leg and how much it hurt me knowing he hurt. Headaches in children can be just as unbearable for a parent, but with the added…

Steroid Injection Epidurals For Spinal Stenosis–Boon or Bane?
Epidurals are handed out like candy in this country. We assume that, much like surgery and medications, that there are hordes of research studies documenting the effectiveness of this intervention. Regular readers of…

Heart Attack Statistics: Dental Invader Found in Heart Plaques
Heart attack statistics stem from multiple factors; the famous one cause : one cure model that dominates medicine just doesn’t fit here. It would be wonderful, though, if this were true. That means that treating…

Bison or Beef? A Carnivore’s Dilemma
While there is no question that a plant based lifestyle is the best option for health, this still leaves an awful lot of wiggle room when it comes to non-vegetable choices. I’ve discussed the Paleo diet in a recent blog…

These Two Deadly Diseases Linked
This is not the first time I’ve gotten on a soapbox about how human physiology and disease does not respect the “specialist” boundaries we have created in orthodox, Western medicine. Cardiology, dermatology…

Periodontal Disease Prevention Does NOT Begin In The Mouth
I’m not saying that you should cancel your next dental checkup, but we need to start viewing oral health from the context of a whole body approach. Lest the dentists out there remove themselves from my email list, the…
Low Back Pain · April 9, 2013
Had Spinal Injections? You’re Twice As Likely to Accept This
As I have written in past articles that there is a time and place for surgical intervention for low back pain. The same is true for interventional pain management like epidural spinal injections. I currently have an…

Lumbar Spine Fusion: Are You a Good Match?
There is a time and place for surgery. I think few would argue this point. But I have seen patients have imaging, injections and surgery for cases that never should’ve been considered a surgical case. Of course, whether…

New Diabetic Drugs – Investor Profits or Public Safety?
It seems like the general public has a very short memory. When I ask patients if they remember the Vioxx debacle, more and more often the answer is no. 100,000+ heart attacks, lord knows how many deaths, billions in…

Frequency of Analgesic Use & Risk of Hypertension in Younger Women – (10-31-02)
Frequency of Analgesic Use & Risk of Hypertension in Younger Women There are two things that strike me about this study. First, of the 80,000 or so women in this study, use of aspirin 1 day/month was 51%, NSAIDs was 77%…

Diet, Exercise on BP, Insulin, Oxidative Stress, NO Availability – (10-31-02)
Diet, Exercise on BP, Insulin, Oxidative Stress, NO Availability Need I say more? Obviously this wasn’t sponsored by the makers of Lipitor or Atenolol. 30-45 mins exercise per day and dietary modifications for 3 weeks…
