IBS symptoms generally come from dysbiosis, an imbalance of microbes in your small intestine. The key players in dysbiosis are parasites, bacteria and fungi. I have other posts on parasites and bacterial overgrowth (SIBO). Now it’s time to talk about FUNGI, a kingdom of critters with superpowers! Fungi can be opportunistic, quick, shape shifting and […]
Google’s dictionary defines synergy as, “…a combined effect greater than the sum of their separate effects.” It’s why Tom Brady plays better with the Patriots than alone and why a military has branches. It happens when a pesticide teams up with other chemicals, nutrient deficiencies, food sensitivities, stress, lack of sun, mold exposure, inflammation and […]
It’s a safe guess you’re here because you have gas, bloating, constipation, diarrhea, stomach pain or a combo. If it’s been bothering you for months or years, a doctor may have diagnosed you as having Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and advised that you learn to live with it. But what if you can be free […]
Everyone is subject to parasite infection. The Centers for Disease Control released findings in 2014 that made national news. CBS reported, “Millions of Americans develop parasitic infections and symptoms often go unnoticed or are misdiagnosed.” Doctors who routinely use the newest lab technology (most doctors don’t, yet) estimate as much as 90% of the population has, […]
It is estimated that more than one in four people in the U.S. have thyroid dysfunction. Most are women and most are under-diagnosed. This is a big deal when you consider thyroid hormones regulate how fast your metabolism works, heart rate, constipation, energy and weight gain. Thyroid abnormalities tend to peak during puberty, pregnancy and perimenopause, so […]
The sand between my toes was a cool contrast to the warmth of first morning sun. Waves gently folded onto themselves as steam carried a comforting scent from the mug in my hands. Blissful stillness… except for the invading army pulling boats ashore and firing machine guns. Okay, that army thing didn’t actually happen, but it is a picture […]
Would you knowingly expose your children to a nerve agent proven to lower IQ? If your answer is anything like, “No way!”, organic food is important to you. I used to think if there was any real danger from all those unpronounceable ingredients, the government would put a stop to it. Companies making people sick would get sued […]
Have you ever heard of Dr. Max Gerson, M.D.? I hadn’t either until recently. Dr. Albert Schweitzer called him “one of the most eminent geniuses in the history of medicine”. In 1946, Dr. Gerson demonstrated recovered patients before the Pepper-Neely Congressional Subcommittee. He claimed to have cured cancer – with diet. Was his claim valid? Can cancer be cured […]
By simply switching to food without chemical additives, I was able to eliminate my pollen allergies, obesity, depression, anxiety, acid reflux, brain fog and feeling “hangry” before every meal. Maybe like you, I quickly found how difficult it is to find chemical-free food in the US. Most restaurants, and some grocery store chains, offer NO options without chemicals. Most […]
It has been my experience that most people never evaluate the actual facts of the GMO landscape. I can’t really blame them. The truth is often purposely buried in scientific, legal and political morass. Nevertheless, the facts are well documented and not all that complicated. I boiled them down to a helpful summary I’m calling it GMOs: Facts About […]
