Oxygen is an antibiotic, it’s just dose dependent. Free oxygen radicals are used by the immune system to travel through the body and degrade bacteria. HBOT boosts the bactericidal tendencies of oxygen by greatly increasing the amount of oxygen in the tissues and fluids of the body.

How many celebrity doctor shows, blogs, and social media posts have you encountered that tell you to ‘reduce stress?’ It’s the worst advice out there. It’s like telling a 3 year old to go to sleep, right after devouring birthday cake by saying, ‘just close your eyes.’

Jerry Seinfeld said all the answers to life are revealed if you just ‘look to the cookie.’ With all the answers to health, ditch the cookie, and look to the petri dish.

I recently added HBOT (Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy) into my clinic. Why? Because chronic illness needs a multi-faceted approach.

My wife and I decided to get a new mattress. The one we had was only 4 years old but ended up being a piece of junk. I still remember the day we bought it.

Affecting more Americans than heart disease and cancer combined, many of you may be suffering and not even know it!

Glyphosate is the world’s most widely produced herbicide. You know it as RoundUp. It is a broad-spectrum herbicide that is used in more than 700 different products for agriculture and forestry to home use. Glyphosate was introduced in the 1970s to kill weeds by targeting and suppressing the enzymes that produce the amino acids tyrosine, tryptophan, and phenylalanine.

But what if? What if all states took away exemptions for vaccines? What would be the unintended consequences of making everyone get the shots? The more I think about it, I see 3 unintended consequences for removing vaccine exemptions.

I have an N=3 (3 participants) study regarding the safety of the CBD oil I have been using. I had been using it daily for 3 weeks. The key word is ‘had.’ Why? Because about a week ago the bottle was polished off by my 5 and 3 year old.

I avoid debates about disease causation because most are arguing within a ‘direct cause’ paradigm. Not everyone that smokes gets lung cancer. But it happens. Not everyone that gets into a car accident, breaks a bone. But it happens. Not everyone that gets a vaccine, develops autism. But it happens.

Because I feel well overall, the CBD experiment for symptom improvement wasn’t really a good marker of changes to show effectiveness. With that said, I will say I feel my energy levels are more…level. I sat through a conference last weekend with lots of traveling and sitting. With all that sitting and absorbing deep concepts of learning, a nap is usually welcomed and anticipated. But I needed none of it.

I’ve been pretty indifferent and even have some walls up when it comes to CBD and all the claimed benefits. The walls stem from people claiming it as a miracle for virtually everything but ignore all basic health practices first. Chronic illness is lifestyle illness and chronic illness doesn’t happen because someone is deficient in CBD oil.

My 1st grader came home from school commissioned to find as many ‘box tops’ as he could for a school project. As he rummaged our cabinets, he get seriously discouraged. “What’s wrong?”

Does information get you results quicker? Rarely. It’s when you combine information with action that you create knowledge and you’re heading in the right direction. But if you want to save even more time getting to your health goals, you must combine knowledge with this…

Nutritional debates will never end. Most debates have the starting point of ‘XYZ food item as being good or bad?’ This is why the debate will never be settled. People are trying to create a scientific argument within a moral framework. This is when nutrition turns into religion or dogma.

It’s cool to have people ask how the experiment is going. Honestly, it has been hard to quantify until I started hearing fellow gym goers talk about the workout load from last week (the week of January 14) and how they felt wrecked. I look back at what we did and hearing how sore they were, last week’s workout load has given my experience with the Somaderm gel new light as I haven’t been sore at all.

Whether it’s a blood or a scratch test, I think testing for food allergies and sensitivities is overrated. These are reactions to disruptions higher up the food chain (pun intended). Consider a few of these tests before testing your food reactions.

You’re waking up from surgery, getting your bearings, and trying to figure out what bus just hit you. As the anesthesia is wearing off and you’re being loaded up with pain meds, you realize you chose for this trauma to happen and you want to get back to normal day life as quickly as possible.

Surgery might be the solution you need but for the health conscious person, the risks of interventions used are always at the top of the mind. There are the effects Read More
