The best gift you could get isn’t under your tree

The best gift you could get isn’t under your tree

  I had a bit of a health scare recently. I had been teaching my karate class and putting my students (and myself) through an insane number of intense drills—lots of kicks, squats, sit-ups, push-ups and of course fighting. Well…later on I ended up with some pain in my low back and hips like I’ve never had before.  It brought tears to my eyes. And I got scared. I went to the doctor and after...

The worst form of sugar on the planet

The worst form of sugar on the planet

  I think it’s reasonable to say that most people are aware that sugar is not exactly a health food. Fair statement? Generally speaking, sugar causes or contributes to a tsunami of ill health effects, including obesity (which is a major COVID risk factor), chronic inflammation, insulin resistance/type 2 diabetes (another COVID factor), depressed immune function, cancer, heart disease, and yeast (Candida) overgrowth. That is particularly true when you’re talking about fructose—especially in the form...

How to beat the holiday blues

How to beat the holiday blues

  Now that Thanksgiving is behind us (and I hope yours was happy!), it’s full steam ahead to Christmas, New Year’s, Hanukkah or whatever holiday you may celebrate!  For many of us, that means trimming a tree, lighting the menorah, baking, shopping, wrapping gifts, cooking galore, and if you’re like me, hanging lights on your trees and shrubs.  This is good for a laugh--here’s a picture of me hanging lights on my pine trees that are getting enormously taller each year!  Good thing I invested in an extension pole...

Want to prevent cancer?  Start here

Want to prevent cancer? Start here

  When it comes to cancer, I see a lot of people being misled by cancer research organizations and the mainstream medical community and here’s why. First of all, let me remind you that since the 1971 “War on Cancer” was introduced by President Nixon, hundreds of billions of dollars have been poured into various initiatives for cancer research to “find the cure”…and although some advances have been made in terms of diagnosis and treatment,...

When your stomach ache isn’t a stomach ache

When your stomach ache isn’t a stomach ache

   I think it’s safe to say most of us have had a stomach ache at one time or another in our lives.  Unfortunately, for many people “one time or another” can turn into several times a week or even daily.  Now, a stomach ache can have many underlying causes—ulcers, overeating, gastritis, medications (especially antibiotics), stress and food sensitivities can all be culprits behind your tummy troubles. But sometimes, “stomach” aches have nothing whatsoever to...

7 Steps to a long, disease-free life

7 Steps to a long, disease-free life

  I hate to say this, but if you are interested in living a long, disease-free life, our modern healthcare system is not the way to do it. I thought this last Friday as I was walking into a local medical center for my bi-weekly acupuncture session.  All the people around me in the lobby were overweight, or could barely walk without pain, or looked like they were at death’s door. And of course, the...
