Let me be clear. You should know how much of every dietary supplement you take and why you take it. If you exceed the amounts recommended on the label, you should also know why. But the case of the 89-year-old man who died because of an assumed excess vitamin D intake shouldn’t change a reasonable […]
Every once in a while, news on the suspected abuse of a dietary supplement makes headlines; such was the case when I read my news feed this past weekend. An assistant coroner in Surrey, U.K., declared the cause of death for an 89-year-old man was excessive calcium build-up due to high levels of vitamin D […]
Earlier this week I was an election worker for the Michigan primary. It wasn’t particularly busy at times so, as often happens, people asked me what I do and then checked out my website. The conversation came around to my thoughts on detoxing. I said I thought it was really good; after all, I wrote […]
As I wrap up preparations for tomorrow’s Managing Pain Super Bowl Webinar, I wanted to provide you with a little more information—specifically, how I’m going to use a step-by-step approach to deal with pain. The typical approach used by the medical profession is to try a treatment and if that doesn’t work, try the next […]
Many people suffer from a myriad of symptoms after contracting a COVID infection. Muscle and mental fatigue seem to be common among these “long-haulers”—more technically called post-viral fatigue syndrome. Based on prior research by the investigators, they randomly selected twelve subjects with long-haul COVID symptoms. Half the subjects took four grams of creatine monohydrate for […]

It is a tricyclic antidepressant; in some […]

Pain afflicts everyone at one time or another, but the older we get, research shows that we’re more likely to experience chronic pain. That time you twisted your knee when you played a pick-up game of basketball? […]
The health benefits of tea are substantial, and in some ways, coffee is even better. They both have substantial amounts of phytonutrients, but this isn’t about the benefits to your heart, your liver, or your brain. This is about the comparative benefits to your digestive system of coffee and tea. While the fiber approach wasn’t […]
Paula’s recovery from her knee replacement is going well. While she’s been rehabbing, she does a lot of reading and recently passed on an article that compared the health benefits of coffee vs. tea. One of the comparisons was about fiber: did either have any? The article suggested that there was 1 to 1.5 grams […]
Now that the snow has almost melted, I’ve taken to walking outside. When I walk, I think. On yesterday’s walk, I was thinking about the Super Bowl Webinar. Without warning, I slipped on a patch of ice and landed on my butt. In the annals of slipping and landing, it was perfect. Legs out, butt […]
