nipple rings and breast abscesses
Fortunately, most of my readers are of an age where we never went in for those body piercings: nipple rings, foreskin and all sorts of other unmentionables in polite society. I especially can’t stand the sight of weird metal things in the tongue, lips and over the eyes. For one thing, I’ve never seen anyone [...]
Does Prayer Heal Disease… Really?
In my comprehensive eBook on cancer alternatives (Cancer Confidential), I addressed the question of whether prayer works for healing. In medicine, we see the touch of God all the time, but it is called “spontaneous remission.” If it happens at a prayer meeting, then God gets the credit! Otherwise it is just said to be [...]
Are People Free To Wreck Themselves And We Should Pay The Price?
Is that a freedom or an entitlement? People who overeat and are obese should contribute to the inevitable extra healthcare costs, according to certain German politicians. Naturally, there is an outcry, mostly from the opposition who would attack anything on principle. But emotions run high and comparisons with Hitler’s Nazi socialist principles have been used. [...]
Locked-In Syndrome Paralyzed and Cannot Speak or Move.
Paralyzed and cannot speak or move. What would you do? Locked-In Syndrome I recently read an amazing book: The Diving Bell and The Butterfly by Jean-Dominic Bauby. It is very moving indeed. Bauby was the Editor-In-Chief at Elle, the fashion magazine in Paris, France. He was witty, rich, sought after by women, worldly and handsome. [...]
Vitamin D and Cognitive Function
Vitamin D does so much; it goes way beyond preventing rickets. We know it plays a role in cancer prevention, priming immune function, bettering heart disease and has even been suggested as a buffer against autism (when loaded with vitamin D, some children have made remarkable recoveries). Now there may be a similar role in [...]
Brush Your Teeth, Live Longer
Those of you who have read my book “Virtual Medicine” (if you haven’t, why not!), will have been surprised by my report that teeth can kill. It began as dental infections lodging bacteria in the heart and causing fatal widespread septicemia in the days before antibiotics. But 100 years later, by the end of the [...]
blood pressure machines fake high readings to sell medications
I received this email from a correspondent in Germany. It raises a provocative question and I think we should debate this. Please post a comment if you have any extra insight into this. I have been a patient at a small cancer hospital in Germany for four of the last seven months. In Germany they [...]
Cancer Overdiagnosis
What’s worse than being you’ve got cancer and you are at risk? Well, possibly being TOLD YOU’VE GOT CANCER WHEN YOU HAVEN’T. That also puts you at appalling risk. You’ll be given deadly chemo, which can wipe out the immune system, throw up, diarrhea, lose your hair… and it was all unnecessary. Just a bit [...]
Our skin is our most vital organ and ages fastest
Every thought of that? Our skin is precious because it not only makes us look good, it protects us from the harsh outer environment. Recently I recommended a great anti-aging skin cream from Dr Al Sears MD. He’s the real deal as a medical expert, not some phoney paid off by a cosmetic company to [...]
Disastrous Nutritional Advice Is The Real Sickness
The American Dietetic Association has come out with a new position paper. Surprise, surprise—they haven’t the faintest clue about nutrition! Sheesh, as cartoon Yogi Bear used to say! As worldwide consumption of vitamin and other nutrient supplements soars in the $billions annually, these people are trying to save their own position by pretending it’s all [...]
