Let’s turn to what the author I wrote about on Tuesday said and examine it in detail. She interviewed a variety of experts; I checked them out and they were most definitely legit, especially those who worked in the research arms of the NIH. She asked them a simple question that went something like “Which […]
The headline of the Life and Culture section of my local newspaper was this: “Supplements Are a Scam.” You know that has to get my attention. Wouldn’t it get yours? Most of us take dietary supplements every day, so I read the article. To paraphrase the opening, it went something like this “Wake up people! […]
At this point, it seems that writing about anything other than COVID-19 is doing you, the reader, a disservice. But it also seems wrong to continue to talk about the topic you can’t escape hearing, talking, and thinking about, so I’m going to head back to reviewing research and health headlines next week. For today, […]
First, Happy St. Patrick’s Day—everyone is Irish today. Second, this is the login information for tomorrow evening’s Insiders Conference Call via freeconferencecall.com; the call is Wednesday night at 9 p.m. Eastern Time. You can listen on your phone, watch on your phone, tablet, or laptop. Because I can’t answer questions live once it’s started, if […]
The COVID-19 virus is on everyone’s mind based on the questions I’ve been getting. So here’s what I’m going to do: I’m going to hold the regularly scheduled Insiders Conference Call on Wednesday night at 9 p.m. Eastern Time. The difference is that I’m going to open it up to my entire list of subscribers. […]
On the way to the studio yesterday to record my radio show Straight Talk on Health, an Insider asked me about how to assess a hotel for whether he should stay there or not. Then last night, I heard an interview with David Ropeik, author of the book “How Risky Is It?” After thinking about […]
One of the questions that I’m frequently asked about COVID-19 is related to temperature: do I think that the virus will fade as the temperature gets warmer in the Northern hemisphere? My answer is still I don’t know. However, after Paula gave me an article to read, and then I read the scientific paper behind […]
Case studies serve a purpose in nutrition and medical research because looking at individuals or small groups of people may provide a direction that research can take. I recently read a research paper that examined two children from a Middle Eastern family that shared three symptoms: rapidly progressive childhood retinal degeneration, cardiomyopathy, and almost undetectable […]
A long-time friend and Insider asked if the following were true. I’m going to use excerpts because I don’t want someone to mistakenly think I endorse what’s being said. I don’t, and this Memo is going to point out where the lies exist. I can’t think of a nicer way of saying it because the […]
Someone just sneezed in an enclosed area such as an office or a plane. We know the potential for any virus to be in a droplet, especially if someone is sick. How many individual viruses do you have to inhale to get sick? In theory, just one will do it. After reading more details, it’s […]
