Wheat Belly: Ten Rules for Healthy Eating
A hundred thousand years ago, you’d have no doubt what and how to eat. You would wake up every morning, grab your spear, club or axe and go kill something, wander and gather berries, nuts, or dig in the dirt for roots and tubers, or set traps for fish and reptiles. If you succeeded in the hunt, you would consume every organ that included thyroid, thymus, pancreas, stomach, liver, as well as meat. You’d drink water from streams and rivers, allow skin surface to be exposed to sunlight. You would NOT shower with soap or shampoo, apply hand sanitizer, drink chlorinated water, consume foods laced with herbicides and...

Muffin Top
Having a “muffin top or “love handles,” i.e., fat encircling the waistline, is not just a cosmetic issue but is a telltale sign that you have visceral fat surrounding your organs such as the liver, intestines, and pancreas. Visceral fat is highly inflammatory and has numerous health consequences from hormonal distortions to diabetes to increased potential for heart disease, dementia, and cancer. Getting rid of your muffin top and thereby visceral fat is easy, something we do every day in the Wheat Belly and Undoctored programs. The post Muffin Top appeared first on Dr. William Davis.

Fight Aging! Newsletter, February 18th 2019
This study showed that potential vicious cycles underlying ARDs are quite diverse and unique, triggered by diverse and unique factors that do not usually progress with age, thus casting doubts on the possibility of discovering the single molecular cause of aging and developing the single anti-aging pill. Rather, each disease appears to require an individual approach. However, it still cannot be excluded that some or all of these cycles are triggered by fundamental processes of aging, such as chronic inflammation or accumulation of senescent cells. Nevertheless, experimental data showing clear cause and effect relationships...

The Prospect of Growing Human Organs in Animals as a Source of Transplants
Farming animals is morally dubious, to say the least, but we live in a world in which most people are accepting of this practice. That doesn't make it right, and I think that this will change in the future. For now, however, anyone who finds farming animals for meat ethical should also consider it ethical to create genetically altered animals that contain either human organs or organs that can be humanized. The purpose in doing this is to provide a large supply of organs for transplantation, alleviating the present shortage of organs for that purpose. This is not the only approach, of course. Many research groups are worki...

Stack the odds in favor of reversing type 2 diabetes
A carb-restricted diet is only a START in stacking the odds in favor of fully reversing, or at least minimizing, type 2 diabetes. You must address the several factors in health that allow insulin to do its job, i.e., restore INSULIN RESISTANCE. This is what we do in the Wheat Belly Total Heath and now Undoctored lifestyles. Transcript: Let’s talk about how you can stack the odds in favor of a full reversal of Type II diabetes. You know what, about 90% of people, who have Type II diabetes — even if they’ve had it for 5 years, 10 years, or longer, can become confidently non-diabetic, or at the very least,...

Cracker Bowel: Why Grains are Toxic to the Human Gastrointestinal Tract
We are told to eat “healthy whole grains” to boost fiber intake, maintain bowel regularity and intestinal health–but the exact OPPOSITE is true. Wheat and grains, especially modern wheat and grains, contain an entire collection of bowel toxins. Banish wheat and grains from your diet and you are on the path to recovering gastrointestinal health and freedom from dozens of common gastrointestinal conditions. Transcript: Hi everybody, Doctor William Davis here. I call this video “cracker bowel”, because wheat and grains are a collection of very potent bowel toxins. You know, it’s ironic is...

Follow the simple Wheat Belly No Change Rule for fingerstick blood sugars and you maximize your chances of getting rid of type 2 diabetes and accelerating weight loss. By becoming non-diabetic or at least minimizing it, you are freed from the awful health consequences of this disease, as well as extending life considerably. The No Change Rule also helps reverse insulin resistance that blocks weight loss. Transcript: Hi everybody. Doctor William Davis here.

Healthcare And Medicine Needs A Global FDA
Globalization reached healthcare big time: a French patient can easily ask a Belgian company to sequence the DNA of his tumor tissue, then convince a Swiss pharma company to sign them up for a relevant clinical trial on a Spanish island. Not only that but also the recent controversies around gene editing in babies in China, as well as the operation of direct-to-consumer genetic testing companies, the online medication scene, health technology companies expanding their services to other countries highlight the need for a global “FDA” day by day. We are not waiting for regulators The availability of know-how, raw materia...

How Three Physician Scientists Are Taking Strides to Improve Our Health
Brain injuries, cancer, infections, and wound healing are some of the complex and pressing health concerns we face today. Understanding the basic science behind these diseases and biological processes is the key to developing new treatments and improving patient outcomes. Physician scientists—medical doctors who also conduct laboratory research—are essential to turning knowledge gained in the lab into innovative treatments, surgical advances, and new diagnostic tools. In this blog, we highlight the work and impact of three trauma surgeon scientists funded by NIGMS at different stages in their careers: Dr. Nicole Gibran...

Top 10 Digital Health Mergers And Acquisitions Show Trends For 2019
In 2018, the digital health market has seen just as a turbulent year as before – if not even more volatile and unpredictable. MobiHealthNews saw a record-breaking 56 acquisitions and mergers in the space, 13 of which had disclosed price tags totaling $7.6 billion. While the market space relentlessly expands, some trends show the maturing of the scene: growth is mainly due to the slow awakening of huge traditional healthcare/pharma companies or agile tech giants, while small startups have less chance to survive on their own. Let’s see the most important digital health mergers and acquisitions of last year! Top 10 digita...
