Got cravings?  Here’s why (and how to stop them)

Got cravings? Here’s why (and how to stop them)

  My late mother Freida used to have a theory about pregnancy cravings. She craved watermelon like it was disappearing tomorrow when she was pregnant with my brother Bob. No matter what the day or time, she couldn’t get enough of it. Well, Bob grew up to LOVE watermelon, and my mother swore it was because of her pregnancy cravings! I’ll let you decide whether her theory has any validity LOL, but seriously, I think...

I was disgusted when I heard this…and you should be too

I was disgusted when I heard this…and you should be too

  Someone very dear to me (I’ll call her “Rachel”) went to the doctor recently for a few problems she’s been having, and when she told me about her appointment, I was disgusted. Here’s a little background information: Rachel has been under great stress over the last several months. She lost her job and has had difficulty finding another. She has been doing temp work but is having financial challenges due to the reduction in...

Why are people everywhere losing it?

Why are people everywhere losing it?

  While it’s a good idea to be informed, I’ve got to say that it’s getting harder and harder to see what’s going on in our world and not feel horrified or frightened. For example, I just saw that three security guards at a Staten Island, NY hospital were slashed with a sharp object and nurses were attacked (with one being bitten) Sunday morning around 4am. The attacks were apparently carried out by a 19-year-old...

Could this be the best medicine of all?

Could this be the best medicine of all?

  That question probably grabbed your attention.  What do you think is the best medicine of all?  Many people would say antibiotics.  It’s true that they’ve helped to kill dangerous bacterial infections, but they have also destroyed our gut microbiomes (making us more susceptible to illness) and spurred the development of “Superbugs” that resist even our strongest drugs and can be life-threatening.  Others may say proton pump inhibitors (PPIs).   These drugs “work” by shutting down...

Why does the CDC continue to ignore these diseases?

Why does the CDC continue to ignore these diseases?

  In theory, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is responsible for providing current, accurate information about health-related issues for Americans.   Too bad a lot of what we’re seeing from them is neither current nor accurate.  First of all, when searching “Leading causes of death in the US,” the CDC is still showing data from 2021 (three years ago).  That’s current?  Heart disease continues to top the list with about 695,000 deaths, and...

My experiment was an abysmal failure

My experiment was an abysmal failure

  I recently conducted a little experiment to see if my suspicions were correct.  And they were.  I wrote letters to 65 local gastroenterologists in my surrounding area and along the east coast of Florida, introducing myself, including my curriculum vitae, and explaining that I would be happy to provide specialized meal suggestions and convenient guides that they could give to their patients to help address any dietary-related causes of their symptoms.  Know how many...
