How to eliminate this uncomfortable, embarrassing problem.
Our ancestors who lived without grains, sugars, and soft drinks enjoy predictable bowel behavior. They ate some turtle, fish, clams, mushrooms, coconut, or mongongo nuts for breakfast, and out it all came that afternoon or evening—large, steamy, filled with undigested remains and prolific quantities of bacteria, no straining, laxatives, or stack of magazines required.
If instead you are living a modern life and have pancakes with maple syrup for breakfast and you’ll be lucky to pass that out by tomorrow or the next day. Perhaps, you will be constipated, not passing out your pancakes and syrup for days, passing it inco...

Medicaid, Meet Indiana
By JONATHAN HALVORSON
We will soon have a Vice President and a head of CMS who hail from the great state of Indiana, and are proud of what they’ve done with Medicaid there through the Healthy Indiana Plan. Seema Verma, the proposed CMS Administrator, is credited with being the architect of Healthy Indiana, and Mike Pence, the Vice President-elect, presents Healthy Indiana as one of the signature achievements of his term as governor of that state.
It is too early to tell if the program will be enough to raise Indiana up the ranks on health and healthcare from the bottom quintile (1, 2). However, since Republicans have r...

Unity Farm Journal - First Week of December 2016
As winter approaches each year, we work hard to prepare the farm property for the cold, dark, snowy days ahead. Weekends and nights are spent clearing brush, /storing all irrigation infrastructure, and doing the last digging/hauling/siftng before soil freezes solid. At this point the barnyard, trails and the sanctuary next door are ready. All farm equipment is freshly oiled and filled with winter-ready fluids. We purchased a snow blade attachment for the Terex front loader since we ’re responsible for snow removal on our 1/2 mile of local roads. The Terex snow blower attachment...

What ’ s in the sauce?
Living the Wheat Belly Lifestyle may take a bit of effort, but the results are so worth it. You must think before you order your meals. Hidden sources of grains and corn by-products are lurking in some unlikely places.
You may have thought that by skipping the bread/sandwich and choosing the soup-n-salad would ensure that your meal was safe. Think again…Many commercial “cream” sauces and soups get their creamy texture from starch, not real cream. And that starch often comes from wheat flour or corn starch. In fact, most commercial soup manufacturers literally use countless tons of wheat every year to produce ...

If You Give My Picky Eater Some Turkey …
An open letter to any relative who plans to invite my family to Thanksgiving dinner:
In the spirit of the season, I want to thank you and yours for inviting my family and our little picky eater to your traditional Thanksgiving celebration. I should warn you that my sweet 3-year-old isn’t always the most adventurous eater and may turn up her nose at the traditional holiday fare, but I have a few helpful tips for you here:
If you give my picky eater some turkey, she’s going to ask for a hot dog. When you give her the hot dog, she’ll probably ask you for ketchup. Then, she’ll ask for more ketchup. And then, sh...

30 Days of Disneyland – Day 8
Our eighth day at Disneyland yesterday was pleasant and fun, especially because the crowds were much lighter.
Around the third or fourth day, I was having doubts about my ability to enjoy this experiment. With so many days left, it seemed like an endurance challenge. I was worried that I’d get bored of it quickly and regret taking on this challenge.
But after finishing eight days there, I’m feeling pretty good about this challenge. I feel there’s an odd intelligence to this that I’m not fully grasping yet, like somehow it will turn out to be a much wiser idea than I could have predicted. I can feel ...

Bipolar Disorder Takes a Friend
I can breathe a sigh of relief. I now have all of the medications I need. I no longer think I am headed down a path to the hospital because of a breakdown, as my psychiatrist suggested. She did not know of my medication issue, however. It is really uncomfortable to tell my psychiatrist that " Well...I took too much of this or that so I ran out at least a week ago... " . But then she is left with the impression I am on the edge of...night?My friend committed suicide.I still struggle with the word " friend " . It is as if I never really wanted to admit I had let my heart open up emotionally when...

What Could CRISPR Do Tomorrow?
CRISPR is the newest, most efficient and most accurate method to edit a cell’s genome. We have to understand it and prepare for the medical revolution it brings upon us, so here I summarized everything to know about this genome editing method from DNA-scissors to currently unimaginable possibilities, such as having an army of gene-edited soldiers. Here, let me show you the myriad of wonderful opportunities as well as the frightening ethical challenges what the CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing method could bring into healthcare in the future.
This is the third part of our article series about the amazing story of CRISPR. ...

Best of Our Blogs: October 11, 2016
You’re busy beyond belief now. And it’s fall. Winter season will trigger a flurry of activity that will burn you out come January. Instead of getting swept up in pumpkins and politics, use autumn as time to slow way down.
Think of something you’re doing currently that you can let “fall” away. Do you need to watch two evening news? Is it really important to shop for the perfect outfit for an upcoming wedding? How necessary is it it to go for a run today?
Choose one thing to eliminate from your life and bring one thing back in. But let that thing be something soothing and comforting like resting...

A Doctorate in Mixology: How to Overcome Crippling Underemployment
“I need an extra shot of espresso in my latte” an impetuous woman barks.
You flinch at her shrillness; her demeaning tone irks. Muttering to yourself, you add an extra shot of espresso for her iced latte. Maybe if she knew I was a (doctor, lawyer, accountant), she wouldn’t be so condescending, you think.
The synapses are connecting in your mind. You are a (doctor, lawyer, accountant) and you are retrieving iced lattes in your local coffee shop.
Whaaat?
Welcome to America’s sobering reality. In the United States, underemployment hovers in the teens. The Gallup CEO estimated that as many as 30 million Ame...

Science for Sale
As my 2 1/2 long time readers have probably noticed, nothing frosts my pumpkin more than corrupt science.Well the gourd has a thick layer of ice right now. Stanton Glantz - a major figure in exposing corruption of science by the tobacco industry, has turned his guns on the sugar industry. They too were paying scientists to say that sugar is good for you.You may recall that we had a consensus for a couple of decades that the way to avoid heart disease was a low fat diet. It ' s taken a couple of decades more to eradicate that falsehood and it ' s still clinging to life. Food manufacturers touted their " low fat " products a...
