How much vitamin D do you really need?

How much vitamin D do you really need?

    We recently received a question about the vitamin D3 dose in our Optimum DK Formula. The reader was wondering if the 5,000 IUs of vitamin D was “too much,” especially considering that her doctors have told her not to take more than 2,000 IUs of vitamin D per day and that research from Harvard indicated the upper-level max was 4,000 IUs. That’s a great question, and I’m sure others may be wondering about...

A concerning trend that’s on the rise

A concerning trend that’s on the rise

    After being in the health field for the last few decades, I’ve pretty much seen and heard it all. But what troubles me is the fact that there are current trends in health that I am observing that go from mildly disturbing to downright shocking. As my karate fighting teacher used to tell me, I have a steel-trap memory…and I can vividly remember times in the not-so-distant past when we weren’t so darn...

How cholesterol became wrongly demonized

How cholesterol became wrongly demonized

    I would dare say that there is no subject in this world that is as falsely portrayed and poorly understood as cholesterol.

And if your blood tests show you’re in the elevated range, welcome to the world of statins. But how did we...

We’d better wake up before it’s too late!

We’d better wake up before it’s too late!

Brace yourself because I have some very disturbing statistics to share with you today. A JAMA study has shown that children and teens get a whopping 67 percent (two-thirds) of their daily calories from highly processed foods! So is it any wonder they’re overweight, depressed, can’t sit still or concentrate, and over half (54 percent) of them have at least one chronic illness? Adults are no better. As adults we “should” appreciate the importance of...

What modern medicine is really about (Hint: It’s not health)

What modern medicine is really about (Hint: It’s not health)

The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines “medicine” as:  The science and art dealing with the maintenance of health and the prevention, alleviation, or cure of disease. I think they need to revisit this definition because I don’t see a lot of “health maintenance,” “prevention,” or “cure of disease” going on. What I do see is a system that is entirely captured and controlled by pharma to the extent that most times, the best you can hope for...

This is even worse than sugar for your health!

This is even worse than sugar for your health!

  If you’ve been a reader of mine even for a short while, you probably remember me talking about the dangers of sugar, especially in the toxic form of high fructose corn syrup.  Sugar is a driving force behind a whole slew of diseases and conditions including diabetes, insulin resistance, cancer, heart disease, obesity, dementia, immune dysfunction and chronic inflammation, to name a few.    And it’s no wonder that our rates of these conditions skyrocketed...
