1 program, 2 months, lasting relief—from almost any symptoms: And the older you are, the better it works July 1, 2004
There’s a program we use at the Tahoma Clinic that helps a lot of the patients we see-usually in just about two months, and no matter what their symptoms are. And unlike many other treatment programs, which work better if you’re younger, the percentage helped with this program increases with age: The older you are, the more likely it is to help. It’s nothing flashy or high-tech. In fact, you might consider it a little boring-at least until you learn what it can do for you and your health.
Natural Response – Equal opportunity osteoporosis protection June 1, 2004
Your article on osteoporosis was really encouraging. But it implied that the remedy, Osteo-Mins, was for women. Please comment in a future issue as to whether this product is efficacious and safe for men. I have osteoporosis and have no intention of taking the poison they are pushing for this disease. Thank you.
Should you go low-carb? June 1, 2004
A few months ago, my local newspaper, the Tacoma News Tribune, devoted three full pages of its Sunday edition to the “low-carb craze.” Three pages may not sound like much, but the News Tribune hasn’t devoted that much space to anything since the 9/11 disaster. So, needless to say, it caught my attention. The article did contain some useful information, but, overall, it was more nonsense than not. So it certainly seems like this topic could use a little clarification.
Department of “Duh” – Why public health authorities don’t want your old habits to die hard April 1, 2004
When I’m not treating patients or writing Nutrition & Healing, one of the other “hats” I wear is board member at Harborview Hospital in Seattle. Harborview is the primary trauma center for Washington, Idaho, Montana, and Alaska, and once a month I meet with the rest of the board to go over the status of healthcare at the hospital and sometimes elsewhere in the region. A few months ago at one of these meetings, the representative from the local Public Health Department delivered her department’s routine monthly report and told us that despite a shortage of supply for this year’s flu vaccine, there was still enough available for those who “really needed it.”
The best male anti-aging tool the “experts” don’t want you to have March 1, 2004
Damage control. That basically sums up what’s been going on in the world of HRT since the summer of 2002, when news of the canceled Women’s Health Initiative study broke. Mainstream doctors and researchers have been scrambling to clean up the mess they made after years of prescribing dangerous synthetic hormones and horse hormones to thousands of women. I’ve been doing my own version of damage control, too-explaining to my patients and to you the difference between real, bio-identical estrogens and the synthetic versions that caused so many problems. But now that things have quieted down somewhat on the estrogen front, it looks as if there’s controversy brewing about testosterone-again.
Clinical Tip 120 – Control your blood sugar with cinnamon’s new diabetes-fighting sidekick February 1, 2004
You might remember me telling you about MHCP a while ago–in the April 2002 issue. It’s a flavonoid found in cinnamon that can mimic the action of insulin and work synergistically with insulin in your body to help regulate blood sugar more effectively. Quite a few of my patients with type 2 diabetes, and even a few with type 1, have told me their blood sugar control is significantly better with MHCP-containing supplements. But now there’s new information on another plant that can help regulate your blood sugar, too.
Grandparents’ Corner – Save the little ones in your life from aching ears February 1, 2004
It’s February, and that means cold and flu season is in full swing–and that the little ones in your life have probably had several earaches by now. But there are a few steps your children can take to make sure your grandkids’ ears stop aching–maybe even permanently.
Today’s anti-aging injections: Which ones work, which ones won’t, and what other treatments to try first February 1, 2004
“Is Botox safe? What about collagen shots? How about some of the other cosmetic injections I’m reading about?” I’m hearing these questions often now from patients visiting the Tahoma Clinic -and not just from women, but from men, as well. So I thought it was a good idea to talk to you about them, too. You may be surprised: I’m not completely against all of them. In fact, one of these injections is actually OK for your health. But injections aren’t your only options for getting rid of those wrinkles. So let’s take a look at the hot new options we’re being bombarded with and then some proven stand-bys you can try if you want to avoid the shots altogether.

Natural Response – Sugar: the good, the bad, and the ugly October 1, 2003
Q: I’m a new subscriber to Nutrition & Healing, and I notice that you recommend eliminating sugar from the diet to help with all sorts of health problems. But isn’t sugar natural? So why shouldn’t I eat all of it I want?
The misunderstood mineral, Part 2: Lithium fights crime and some of your most nagging health concerns September 1, 2003
Turns out it’s not only the strict use of the death penalty lowering crime rates in some areas of Texas. And while I’m sure “Dubya” would be quick to take credit, it’s not stricter laws or changes in sentencing guidelines either. Using 10 years of data accumulated from 27 Texas counties, researchers found that the incidence of homicide, rape, burglary, and suicide, as well as other crimes and drug use, were significantly lower in counties whose drinking water supplies contained 70-170 micrograms of lithium per liter than those with little or no lithium in their water.
The misunderstood mineral, Part 1: Think young into your 90s with this anti-aging secret for your brain August 1, 2003
The biggest problem with lithium treatment is people’s perception of it. Since its most well known use is for bi-polar disorder, lithium sometimes encounters the same stigma as mental illness itself.
Some sources still don’t get it-protein isn’t the enemy July 1, 2003
As you probably know, Dr. Robert Atkins passed away just a few months ago. Dr. Atkins is best known for bringing attention to the high-protein, high-fat approach to weight loss and overall good health. His ideas flew in the face of “popular” opinion that a high-carbohydrate diet was the best approach, and for years Dr. Atkins battled against mainstream name-calling and mudslinging. Then, a few months before his untimely death, Dr. Atkins finally began getting the respect he deserved.
Natural Response: Increasing dosage—the safe way June 1, 2003
Q: I am 79 years old and have been a diabetic for over 25 years. I am taking Insulife three times a day. I also exercise a lot. My doctor decided to test my blood for insulin. It came back <2 (none). He tested it again and got the same result… My glucose fell from 149 to 119. Question: Can I take more than one Insulife per meal? Read On
Clinical Tip 113 – The first step in heart disease prevention: Check your testosterone levels June 1, 2003

Say goodbye to most arthritis pain for good in eight steps-or less April 1, 2003
Last month, you read about different ways to protect your heart-a topic not making many headlines these days, but one that’s still critical to your health. This month, I’ve chosen another topic that you’re also not hearing much about lately (except in drug ads), even though it probably affects many of you on a daily basis: arthritis.
Fish oil and 33 other natural secrets to tackle all your heart’s risks March 1, 2003
High cholesterol is hardly news these days. The media, the patent medicine industry, and even the federal government (“los Federales”) have all poured a great deal of time, energy, and money into “educating” us Average Joes on the dangers of high cholesterol. Of course, they’ve also assured us that the countless patent cholesterol-lowering medications and the National Cholesterol Education Program are pretty much all we need to arm ourselves in the war against heart disease.
Breast cancer prevention straight from the grocery store: Stop the most feared disease among women from happening to you December 1, 2002
It’s no wonder that breast cancer is the biggest fear of so many women. All you hear about these days are the dismal odds: Currently, one in eight women-that’s 17 million-is expected to be diagnosed with the disease. And the treatment options are nothing short of barbaric: surgery that leaves you disfigured, radiation that leaves you swollen and tender, and chemotherapy that leaves you weak, bald, and nauseous.
Clinical Tip 108 – Itching and irony: More news on the common skin irritant that may help you erase psoriasis for good! October 1, 2002
What if I told you that one of the most widely known skin irritants– the one that’s causing a rash (pun intended!) of complaints in Europe as part of one of their new “Euro” coins–might actually be the key to relieving the unbearable discomforts of psoriasis? No, I haven’t “lost it,” though I know it sounds hard to believe–especially since there just doesn’t seem to be a whole lot of hope for psoriasis sufferers.
Could a stroke steal your future? Know your risk and prevent it from happening! July 1, 2002
You probably know someone who’s had a stroke–wheelchair bound or walking difficulty, unable to use an arm or a leg (or both). In seconds, a stroke can render you physically helpless, without the ability to speak or even to smile. It always makes me sad to see a patient who was active, funny, and independent suddenly turn info a shell of their former self after a stroke. It can literally steal your quality of life–with absolutely no warning.

From kidney stones to canker sores, natural ways to treat your nagging health problems May 1, 2002
Q: I recently passed a kidney stone-it was the most excruciating pain I’ve ever experienced. I’ve heard that once you have kidney stones, you’re more likely to get them again. I don’t ever want to go through what I just dealt with again. Is there any way to stop them from recurring?
(Blood) sugar and spice: Could the secret to controlling diabetes be in your cupboard? April 1, 2002
Diabetes is in the news quite a bit these days. It’s becoming more and more common, and odds are you know at least one person with the disease and may very well be at risk yourself. Finding effective methods of treatment and prevention for diabetes in the face of this potential epidemic is more important than ever. Now, a new study proves that we don’t have to rely on patent drugs to help fight this killer.
