Did you know about this hidden danger of acid reflux?
April is National Esophageal Cancer Awareness Month. And although I’m not a big fan of “awareness” events because they are typically a lot of hoopla and not much more, this one deserves mention. Because there is a distinct “string of events” that can lead to esophageal cancer, and the first of those is a condition that affects a whopping 66 million Americans. Acid reflux. AKA GERD. Here’s what happens: It all starts with heartburn!...
How your diet feeds disease…or fights it
I had the distinct pleasure of being a keynote speaker for the New York Corrections and Youth Services Association’s (NYCAYSA’s) Training Symposium in beautiful Alexandria Bay, NY this past weekend. Many thanks to everyone there because you were a wonderful audience. You were attentive, you asked great questions and you even laughed at my silly jokes. Since my presentation went over so well with the NYCAYSA group, I thought I would share highlights of...
The many ways heartburn drugs can kill you
Here we go again. The pharmaceutical industry has made yet ANOTHER “slip-up” that has potentially threatened the lives of millions of people using one of its toxic medications. This time it’s ranitidine (aka Zantac). The FDA recently recalled ranitidine because it contains N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA), which is a human carcinogen, and the attorneys are lining up to file a tsunami of lawsuits on behalf of cancer sufferers. What makes this particularly frightening is that Zantac...
Kelly Ripa does this to feel good—do you?
When it comes to diet crazes, nobody outdoes Hollywood! Celebrities embrace a seemingly endless variety of fads, all claiming to be the Holy Grail of diets, and people mimic them, hoping to achieve the same results (aka look like a star). But ultimately, the fad eventually fades into the abyss of old has-been diet crazes. That’s why an article I recently read about the TV talk show hostess Kelly Ripa was so REFRESHING! In...
Read this before your morning coffee!
When I travel, there are typically 2 certainties that I can always count on. A delay in at least one of my flights and a mile-long line at Starbucks. It’s the second of the two that I want to talk to you about today. Because if you’re a Starbucks (or other fancy coffee shop) worshipper, I have an important message for you. Those coffees that you love so much have a very dark side—and...
Want to know how to really prevent cancer?
February is National Cancer Prevention Month and ribbons in all colors of the rainbow are popping up everywhere to raise awareness about our #2 killer. Organizations like the American Cancer Society, the National Cancer Institute and the Mayo Clinic are regurgitating the same old prevention strategies—don’t use tobacco, eat a healthy diet, exercise and go for annual screenings (like mammograms)—even though those screenings expose you to cancer-causing radiation! Oops. Plus now vaccines for HPV...
