Antibiotics Destroy Memories?
Even in my earliest days of practicing medicine, I was never a big fan of prescribing antibiotics – except, of course, in cases of extreme or life-threatening infections.
Because even back then, I was concerned about the damage these drugs could cause to your gut.
That’s because trillions of microscopic bacteria – some that protect against certain diseases and some that can cause disease – live in your microbiome and exist in a delicate balance with each other.
The problem is that antibiotics can’t distinguish between so-called “good” bacteria and the “bad” ones causing the infection.
These drugs kill eve...

Ancient Immune Booster
One thing we can learn from the last few weeks is that we need to be more self-reliant when it comes to our own health care.
We can’t rely on the government to protect us. They’ve proven they’re not capable…
Especially when it comes to defending yourself and your family against fast-moving infections.
A lot of people have asked me recently if I’m worried about getting sick. Here’s what I tell them:
You were born with all the defenses your body will ever need. It’s called your immune system. If you keep it strong, you don’t have to worry about most diseases.
And there is a s...

Controlling Cancer: How To Boost Your NK Cells
If your doctor puts you on a statin for cholesterol, prepare to be on it for life. If you have high blood pressure, you can be sure you'll be filling that prescription forever. Diabetic? You can look forward to decades of metformin.
Big Pharma seems to have a "treatment" for every disease. But they rarely have a "cure."
You see, the longer you take their "medicine," the more money they make.
And now they're trying to do the same thing with chemotherapy drugs.
A group of researchers from Oregon and the U.K. just created a new drug delivery system for cancer. It's called "metronom...

The Scoop On Finding A Healthy Plant-Based Protein Powder
Conclusion
After completing this study, and factoring in the above, of all the plant based proteins I have tried, I would personally choose Nutiva's Plant Protein Superfood 30 Shake in either vanilla or chocolate as my top choice. For me it is obvious since Nutiva is actually certified organic, is at a great affordable price, low in sugars (and not stevia) and has a great taste.
Serving suggestion: Add 2 tablespoons of Hempseeds to your shake for an extra 8g of Protein and 1.7g Omega-3.Consider the addition of 1 tablespoon of Nutiva Coconut Manna (ie coconut butter) and water to eliminate the need for buying cartons of al...

The DNA of Christmas
I hope Santa has been good to you, and you’re not too frazzled and stressed.
It happens every year around this time… right after the holidays, I get quite a few patients who come to my Wellness Center who have gotten sick.
Stress can make an illness that you might have fought off with very few symptoms much worse.
I read a study from Carnegie Mellon University about this. They put subjects through a stress test, and then infected them with influenza. They found those who had the most stress actually got sicker, and had more intense symptoms.1
By simply boosting your immune system, you can protect yourself. And of cours...
