Don’t take your lungs for granted!
As much as I wish I could say otherwise, the inspiration for today’s blog comes from two people who are very dear to me. One who smoked for the better part of 50 years or more, and one who was successfully treated for breast cancer, only to learn that it had metastasized to her lungs. And watching both of them—one on oxygen 24/7 and the other undergoing lung cancer treatment—I have been starkly reminded...

Got gout? End it in 24 hours or less!
Over 8 million people in the US suffer regular attacks of pain, swelling and inflammation in their joints, otherwise known as gout. That might not sound like a huge number, but the prevalence of gout more than doubled between the 1970s and 1990s, so clearly something is up. Gout by far affects more men than women by about a 3 to 1 ratio. Gout is typically the result of one of two things—too much...

Colorectal cancer is rather personal to me since my Mom had it back in 1978 and ended up with a permanent colostomy as a result. When she was first diagnosed, it seemed so shocking to 15 year-old me, but...

The #1 condition doctors fail to diagnose
Let’s play an “imagine game” for a moment. Let’s say you had been suffering from symptoms that included: fatigue, chills, hair loss, cold feet and hands, brain fog, depression, constipation, nervousness, mood swings, loss of appetite, anxiety attacks, weight gain, irregular heart rate, low energy, and high blood pressure. So you go to your doctor and after a complete workup including bloodwork, you’re told there’s nothing wrong. Oh, and probably are given meds for...

Beyond heartburn—all that mastic gum can do for you
Here’s an eye-opening statistic for you today: Seven out of 10 Americans take at least one prescription medication every day. So in other words, it’s the norm to be medicated, and you’re a weirdo if you’re not. And while that may be cause for celebration at Pfizer, Astra Zeneca, Merck and Johnson & Johnson, for the average person just trying to get relief from a health issue, it’s anything but celebratory. Because while drugs...
