Antibiotics and the GI Tract
submitted by: admin on 05/13/2015
This is an extensive review of what antibiotics do to the microflora of the GI tract. Many MDs overuse antibiotics "just to be sure" that a bacteria may be causing symptoms; this is very dangerous thinking. It is common knowledge that antibiotics are massively overused in treating colds, flus, ear infections, etc. Yeast syndromes, leaky gut syndrome,...

A study published in the journal Psycho-Oncology in October of 2013 showed that even though being diagnosed with breast cancer is intially a very stressful and fear-filled experience, there are benefits that included enhanced personal relationships, increased appreciation for life, a sense of personal strength, greater spirituality, and changes in life's...
Chlorophyll Can Help Prevent Cancer
submitted by: admin on 05/27/2016
Chlorophyll protects against cancer when tested against the relatively low levels of carcinogens usually found in our environment. However, at high concentrations it actually increases cancer growth!

Dealing With a Diagnosis of Cancer
submitted by: admin on 09/19/2013
When you find out you have cancer life often becomes very challenging. Most treatments are toxic and have a lot of side effects. While we suffer from cancer and its treatment, the opportunity to re-assess our lifestyle and make changes comes with it. It is a chance to modify how we live our lives and re-assess our values.
Digitalis May be a Treatment for Cancer
submitted by: admin on 09/19/2013
Recent studies on prostate cancer show that digoxin may not only slow cancer growth but also induce apoptosis. Studies in the early 1900s on breast cancer showed that people on digitalis rarely have cancer progress or lead to death. This rather startling information has not made it into mainstream medicine and for the most part digitalis is not used...
Exercise is Powerful Anti-Aging Medicine
submitted by: admin on 09/21/2013
Stem cells accumulate in skeletal muscle following exercise and release growth factors to spur regeneration according to a study published in PLoS online. Stem cells become deficient with aging so exercise is the best way to preserve muscle as we age.

A Canadian study published in the Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry in February of 2013 proved that omega 3 fatty acids inhibit the growth of breast cancer tumors by 30% and also reduced their size.

Small Bowel Overgrowth Syndrome
submitted by: admin on 10/14/2013
Bacterial overgrowth syndrome occurs when the normally low numbers of bacteria inhabiting the small intestine becomes overtaken by bacteria or pathogens.

The workup for this condition...
Steroids and Sports with Phillip Miller, MD
submitted by: admin on 10/16/2013
Are steroids unfair in sport. Hear the unusual perspectives of Dr. Miller. Both testosterone and growth hormone are illegal, but how much good do they do? He also feels that these antiaging hormones are valuable as we get older. If we are active weekend warriors, by the time we're 50, we start getting injuries...these hormones can prevent them.

Treating Frailty with Testosterone
submitted by: admin on 10/17/2013
As we get older, especially men who are frail, testosterone replacement is a consideration to improve muscle strength and balance. Exercise, of course, is the best way to increase muscle strength and balance because it naturally increases growth hormone and testosterone levels. Overdoing testosterone levels can be a problem with aggressive behavior...

Why Milk Can Cause Ulcerative Colitis
submitted by: admin on 10/17/2013
Milk fats can initiate immune dysfunction that can lead to inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Concentrated milk fat caused mice to develop IBD at three times the rate (60%) that mice fed a low fat diet or a diet with polyunsaturated fats. IBD correlated with the emergence of a bacteria called Bilophila wadsworthia from nearly undetectable levels to about 6% of...
