11 things you can eat or drink to knock out the hidden factor behind chronic—even deadly—disease March 1, 2005
It’s been about 20 years since researchers first determined the link between infection and stomach ulcers, pinning down a specific bacteria called Helicobacter pylori as the culprit. Now, its considered the No. 1 cause of ulcers and gastric cancer. Those arent the only problems Helicobacter can cause though. In fact, the majority of the people who test positive for it dont have ulcers or stomach cancer. But that doesnt mean theyre not affected negatively by it. Helicobacter infection can lead to lots of different and seemingly unrelated health problems, from intestinal parasites to autoimmune diseases to skin conditions. On the bright side of all this, research indicates that getting rid of Helicobacter infection can help eliminate these problems entirely.1,2

Vitamin Deficiencies Cured with Genetically Modified Foods December 6, 2004

What you need to know about the monkey virus infecting millions of Americans December 1, 2004
Between 1955 and 1963, 98 million Americans were each given repeated doses of a monkey virus called SV40. SV40 not only causes cancer in animals, but, in 1992, a National Institutes of Health researcher, Michele Carbone, found evidence that 60 percent of human mesotheliomas (cancer that occurs in a persons body cavities, like the chest or abdomen) contained SV40.

The top 10 anti-aging herbs that will keep you living better longer September 1, 2004
Although the term “anti-aging” has caught the public imagination, the reality is that the best sort of anti-aging therapy should focus on providing and supporting a healthy longevity. In other words, the issue is not so much about how old someone looks, but rather that they live a long and healthy life.

The 5 best reasons to move folate to the top of your health priority list August 1, 2004
Los Federales finally got around to requiring folate “enrichment” of refined grain products a few years ago. But even so, I still see three to five patients a week who have an outright folate deficiency. Obviously, adding it to packaged foods simply isn’t enough to do the job. But then, a federal “enrichment” program is just like a federal tax refund: They take away a lot, waste most of it, give you back a tiny bit, and you’re supposed to be happy about it.
The simplest secret to a longer life June 1, 2004
Research on green tea’s health benefits has been going on for quite awhile, but last year a group of Japanese researchers came out with one of the boldest statements ever written about it-or about any other substance, for that matter. They concluded that “daily consumption of green tea in sufficient amounts will help to prolong life.”1 A longer life just from drinking tea? It sounds too good, and too simple, to be true-but there’s solid evidence behind the claim.
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.

Spring cleaning for your body: Herbs to help with heavy metal detoxification March 1, 2004
The new dirty words in medicine are ones no one would have expected 30 or 40 years ago. Lead, mercury, and aluminum all seemed harmless enough back then. It just goes to show you how much times can change–and how much we have to learn. But now that we do know the dangers of heavy metals, more of us are concerned with not only avoiding them in the future but also eliminating any build-up we’ve already accumulated.
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.
The “original human diet” secret to erasing cancer, diabetes, obesity, and more January 1, 2003
We’ve come a long way since the hunter-gatherer days, and I’m not saying that all of the changes are bad-or that we should all start running around in loin-cloths, stalking and killing our dinners. Nevertheless, that is how our bodies are designed to be nourished. So this month I thought I’d show you how to get “back to basics” with a modern adaptation of this health-promoting, historic diet.
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.
Uncover and correct the hidden cause of mysterious, undiagnosed illness with herbal “weed-killers” and “fertilizer” October 1, 2002
Hypochondriacs. I’m sure you know at least one. You know who I’m talking about-those people that always seem to be feeling “under the weather.” But they look fine. They sound fine. And their doctors never find anything wrong with them. So, most of the time those doctors-and the rest of us-write it off as being all in the person’s head. Until it happens to you: You start feeling just plain awful and the feeling continues for days, weeks, maybe even months, but your doctor insists there’s nothing wrong. You know you’re not a hypochondriac. No, something is definitely wrong-no matter what everyone else thinks.
The headlines are only half the story! Hormone replacement therapy can be safe—when you put back the missing ingredient: Nature September 1, 2002
One day in July, the phones at Tahoma Clinic suddenly started ringing off the hook. The callers were almost all women wanting answers about the risks of hormone replacement therapy (HRT). At first, I wasn’t sure where all the concern was coming from, since I usually don’t get that many calls on the same topic in a whole month, let alone in one afternoon. But then I saw the front page of the newspaper: HRT had made national headlines. Directors of a national study known as the Women’s Health Initiative abruptly stopped their research and instructed the women to discontinue taking HRT, because it increases the risks of breast cancer, blood clots, stroke, and heart attack.
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.
Toss your sunscreen and step out of the shadows! You can prevent skin cancer and still enjoy time in the sun this summer June 1, 2002
The days are getting longer, the weather is getting warmer, and the dermatologists and sunscreen salesmen are getting down to business with their annual chorus. Like the best of self-proclaimed “saviors,” they threaten us with Skin Cancer Hell if we “sin” by exposing our bodies to the Great Sun Satan.
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?
Calming an overactive thyroid with nature’s soothing herbs September 1, 2001
The thyroid gland, located in the neck, secretes hormones that regulate metabolism. At times, thyroid activity becomes too high– resulting in a condition known as hyperthyroidism. Over 4 million people in the United States experience hyperthyroidism, but, because the onset of symptoms is gradual, many cases go untreated until they become severe.
Detect and prevent diabetes NOW—years,even decades in advance! Part 2: Preventing type 2 diabetes August 1, 2001
Last month’s issue discussed the risk factors for type 2 (adult-onset) diabetes, as well as a very specific test, the glucose-insulin tolerance test (or GITT), which can tell years in advance whether you’re “on the road” to developing this extremely common problem. Before moving on to steps for diabetes prevention, here’s a brief recap.
