Home Test For Omega-3 Status?
Forget about cholesterol; we NEED cholesterol. Forget about saturated fats; we NEED saturated fats.
What is vital for health is to have enough GOOD fats. None are better than omega-3s, the brain and heart preservers. Omega-3s block inflammation of all kinds and so are vital for protecting aging joints, skin and connective tissue. Where there is [...]
Is Alzheimers diabetes of the brain?
Is Alzheimer’s really a type 3 diabetes of the brain?
Evidence suggests it is.
By which I mean that insulin and Avandia, drugs used to control diabetes somewhat successfully have a definite beneficial effect on the risk of developing Alzheimer’s. Note that is NOT the same as saying they will help Alzheimer’s, once developed.
This startling new turn [...]
Diet beats Alzheimers every time
Yet again diet and nutrition has come out as a major factor in the causes of development of Alzheimer’s disease. Forget the genetic story. It’s almost totally irrelevant. The "familial incidence" of Alzheimer’s is almost always due to family sharing the same crummy diet habits.
In any case, numerous studies have made it clear that no [...]
French Women Don’t Get Fat- is it true?
French Women Don’t Get Fat: The Secret of Eating for Pleasure, by Frenchwoman Mireille Guiliano, is actually a non-diet book, with a completely different take on healthy eating. She should know!

Well, that’s the UK!

doctor’s chocolate on Fox TV
I did a morning slot for Fox 4 TV in Florida a few days ago. It was aired Thursday Sept 4th
I talked about the Doctor’s Chocolate. Tracey was a nice interviewer but she kept repeating the usual caveats "See your doctor" etc etc. Not once but 4- 5 times. She seemed to forget I’m a [...]
Super foods? There are no super foods…
There’s been a lot of talk about so-called “super foods” lately. It’s a buzzword for something that is supposed to be good for you to eat. Even Mark Victor Hansen, the “Chicken Soup” guy sent out an email yesterday, touting supposed super foods.
Steven Pratt wrote a best-selling book called “Super Foods” (it became a best-seller [...]
15 minutes could save you 15- 22 lbs and 4 inches off the waist
It’s not often you’ll find me recommending a weight loss product. The best way to lose weight is eat differently, as you know!
But it can be difficult to eat the way you want. I’m away from home constantly and it isn’t always easy, I understand that.
Now science has come to the rescue with an amazing [...]
Salt intake low is now bad
One of my favorite correspondents has always been impressed by my statement in VIRTUAL MEDICINE, that science contradicts itself totally about every 25- 30 years. I was thinking about superstrings, quantum gravity and the Big Bang, so-called (a whimpering hiss). But the same disease is here in medicine too. The arrogant dogmatic assurance that “Everything [...]
