Test your medicine knowledge with the MKSAP challenge, in partnership with the American College of Physicians.
A 34-year-old man is evaluated for episodic palpitations of 8 months’ duration. The palpitations last 5 to 10 minutes and then resolve spontaneously.

Undoctored: Health Should Be (Almost) Free
Follow the current debate on “healthcare reform”–which has NOTHING to do with healthcare reform, but healthcare insurance reform, by the way–and you will hear comments about the escalating and uncontrolled cost of healthcare and how people need access to it.
What you will NOT hear is that fact that, because the healthcare system fails to deliver genuine health, real health is actually quite easy, straightforward, and inexpensive–nearly free.
We achieve a life of being Undoctored, not becoming a profit source for the healthcare industry, not being subjected to the predatory practices of Big P...

Prescription Drugs That Block Your Ability To Lose Weight
Many prescription drugs (and some non-prescription) block your ability to lose weight and have likely caused weight gain over the time you’ve taken them. As long as you remain on one or more of these drugs, weight loss is very difficult or impossible. Getting off these drugs is therefore key to restore your ability to lose weight.
The Undoctored lifestyle can free you of the “need” for many of these drugs. Have a conversation with your healthcare provider (who is typically unaware of this effect despite studies demonstrating weight gain) to discuss a change to a drug that does not block weight loss orR...

The Decline and Fall of Informed Consent
By RICHARD GUNDERMAN, MD and JAMES LYNCH, MD
Richard Gunderman
Margaret Edson’s 1999 Pulitzer Prize winning play, Wit, tells the story of the final hours of Vivian Bearing, PhD, an English professor dying of cancer. Early in the course of her disease, one of her doctors sees the value of her case from a research point of view and asks her to enroll in a clinical trial of an investigational therapy. In the film version of the play, which stars Emma Thompson, he hands her a two-page informed consent form to sign.
Wit deals with many timeless features of terminal illness, death, the care of the dying, and the meanin...

Live Life the Fullest
Don ' t let anything hold you back in your pursuit to live life to the fullest. You want to experience everything and anything (well except maybe eating insects, flydiving, going over Niagara Falls in a barrel, or other really weird things). Get out there and do as many as many things as you can.I think I want to say that I don ' t think you need to constantly push yourself to do something every minute. Sometimes you need to sit there and appreciate what you just accomplished. You should also share your experiences with others who might benefit from what you have done.Do not let your health hold you back. Okay, if you brea...

The History of the Undoctored Program
When and how did the seemingly unconnected strategies of the Undoctored lifestyle come together?
The Undoctored strategies, when practiced all at once, have the power to reverse coronary plaque, type 2 diabetes, acid reflux, IBS, fibromyalgia, many autoimmune diseases, some forms of chronic pain, as well as accomplish substantial weight loss without effort.
But how was this all pieced together? Here, I recount the process that led me down this unexpected road.

Fainting: Frightening, but seldom serious
One minute you’re feeling a bit woozy; the next thing you know, you’re flat on your back wondering what happened. No matter what you call it — swooning, passing out, or fainting —the experience is surprisingly common. About a third of people say they’ve fainted at least once.
Although often harmless, fainting can cause injuries and sometimes signals a problem with the heart or circulatory system.
“Witnessing a faint can be scary, because it can look like the person has died,” says Harvard professor Dr. Lewis A. Lipsitz, director of the Division of Gerontology at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and the In...

DIY Thyroid, Part 3: Thyroid Hormone Replacement
This is part 3 of a video series on managing your thyroid on your own because most doctors refuse to incorporate new ideas and insights into thyroid health. They refuse, for instance, to assess your T3 status and help correct it, refuse to help deal with hypothyroidism even if you have gained 18 pounds and have no energy (offering an antidepressant before they acknowledge a thyroid cause), or insist that levothyroxine is the only form of thyroid you should take. If you receive such bad information and cannot find a supportive healthcare practitioner to help you achieve ideal thyroid status, then DIY Thyroid—get it do...

When Yoga, Meditation, and Diet Aren ’ t Enough to Cure Depression
I thought I had it all figured out.
I even had a book title picked out: Whole-ish — On Healing Myself Naturally from Depression and My Messy Path to Well. And I had outlined some of the chapters:
Why restoring your gut health and generating good intestinal bacteria will improve mood
The science behind optimal nutrition and how certain foods reduce inflammation of the brain, while others (sugar) send a message of distress to your immune system, affecting your entire nervous system
How green smoothies help eliminate disease states
The therapeutic faculties of yoga and how it primes our parasympathetic system

DIY Thyroid, Part 2: Lab Interpretation
This is part 2 of the Undoctored DIY Thyroid video series that shows you how you can manage much of your thyroid health on your own. In this video, I discuss how to interpret the 6 thyroid lab tests and put them to use.
If doctors did their job and helped you achieve ideal thyroid status and thereby control over weight, energy, and health, then this would not be necessary. But, because doctors have abandoned the idea of providing health and favor misuse/overuse of prescription drugs and procedures tailored for maximum generation of revenue, we take back control over issues like thyroid health–we are Undoctored and t...
