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 […]
I have to admit that I’d never heard the headline’s words strung together like that until I read about the banning of several products that contained an anti-depressant called tianeptine, which is approved in some countries (not the U.S.) as a prescription drug for the treatment of depression.

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 […]
Note: As this email hits your inbox at 6:15 a.m., Paula and I are already at the surgery center where she’s getting her right knee replaced. She had the left one done six months ago, so the recovery routine is familiar. We know we need to concentrate on bone repair, and since it’s slip-and-fall season […]
How are you doing with your 2024 weight loss efforts? Or your fitness regimen? Eating more vegetables and fruits? Taking your supplements regularly? Is it going smoothly at about three weeks in, or not so much? I know I’ve slipped up. Based on Dr. Barabási’s research, that doesn’t mean you’re doomed to failure. Remember what […]
