Supplement Facts labels can be confusing to say the least. How much of each substance is in a product? Is the source of the supplement natural or synthetic? And what exactly is an International Unit (IU) anyway? I’ve noticed that supplement labels have eliminated IUs and replaced them with weights in milligrams (mg) and micrograms […]
A long-time reader and Insider asked me to check out an article titled “Vitamin C Protects Against Coronavirus.” It was sourced from the Orthomolecular Medicine News Service. I read it, and I read some of the other blog posts from their website on vitamin C and the coronavirus. They claim to have inside information about […]
The next stop on the Dr. Chet tour is going to be in Atlanta, GA, to talk about Nutrition for the 21st Century. I’ll start with the most important question: what’s the best diet? The keto craze is in full swing, with Paleo right behind. The opposite side is going vegan, an all plant-based diet. […]
Before we explore the cause and what lessons we can learn, Paula and I want to thank you for your support and prayers for us. I know that some of you were very concerned, especially because of the way I presented it one piece at a time. I’m sorry. It just seemed logical to me […]
We arrived at the ER and Paula was checked in on Tuesday morning, February 4. The cough was obvious as well as the difficulty breathing. They took her vitals, and her blood pressure was very high. Most likely because of the hallucinations, they did a CAT scan of her head, but there were no apparent […]
West Michigan has seen the cough and cold to end all coughs and colds. If you read “No Memos,” you know that it impacted everyone in the house. At that time, I was beginning my third week and Paula was finishing her second. By far, she had it the worst: chronic cough 24 hours a […]
Many readers have asked me to review movies over the years such as Forks Over Knives, In Defense of Food, and Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead. This time, I’m asking you to watch a series by Andrew Zimmern titled What’s Eating America, a five-part series which examines some of the country’s problems through the lens […]
Vitamin D supplementation always seems to be in the health news; one day it’s beneficial, the next not so much. One of the problems is that many studies are observational studies. They take a large group of subjects, such as the Nurses Health Study, use food frequency questionnaires to assess vitamin D intake, and report […]
One complaint that I get all the time is this: people tell me they don’t have time to exercise. I can understand that. There are some days exercise just isn’t an option, especially when you’re sick. But that’s supposed to be the exception, not the usual situation, and it just isn’t true for most people. […]
When I’m traveling, I often scan the airline magazine. This past weekend, I found an intriguing article about dogs and disease. A woman had an unexplained weight gain after she moved across country several years ago. She also had repeated UTIs, bladder infections, and abdominal pain unexplained by digestive issues. She was treated and seemed […]
