The Barnes Diet
Dr. Broda Barnes was a family physician who revolutionized our concepts of nutrition and hypothyroidism. He also had a Ph.D. in thyroid biochemistry. He emphasized the wide variety of symptoms in hypothyroidism, from cold intolerance to heat intolerance; from weight loss to weight gain; from high to low blood pressure, etc. But above all, he […]
The Secret of Life
THE SECRET OF LIFE In 1925 Georges Lakhovsky, a Russian engineer, introduced his book, The Secret of Life, which is still in print. It was translated into English in 1935 and a few years later he immigrated to New York where, at a major New York hospital, three hundred patients were treated with the Lakhovsky […]
Sunlight – The Source of Life
Plant, animal and human life are dependent upon sunlight. Unfortunately, in the past decade, dermatologists have increasingly cautioned against exposure to sun. But decreased exposure to sunlight inhibits our ability to make Vitamin D and is associated with depression, increased mortality in cancer patients, longer hospitalization after heart attack and increased incidence of multiple sclerosis. […]
Sodium Lauryl Sulfate
Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, SLS, is a caustic surfactant and widely used detergent, that appears in everything from oven-cleaners and carpet glue to the vast majority of toothpastes, shaving creams, shampoos, soaps, and even many DRUGS, WHERE IT IS — USED TO ”CLEAN” GELATIN CAPSULES. It is disguised under dozens of aliases, such as sodium dodecyl […]
Silymarin Marianum
SILYMARIN MARIANUM Silymarin marianum (milk thistle) has long been recommended as a liver cleanser. Indeed the evidence is fairly good that it may help even alcoholic cirrhosis. (J Hepatol. 1989, 9: 105-113). The results in a double-blind study: the Silymarin treated patients outlived the placebo by 50%, significant at the 0.01% level. More importantly, milk […]
Relaxation – The Antidote For Stress
Over 100 years ago, Sir William Osler, the father of American medicine, stated that stress was the major cause of most diseases. As early as 1929, Edmond Jacobson reported that 80% of psychosomatic diseases (today called stress) could be managed adequately with PROGRESSIVE RELAXATION, a simple 30-minute program of systematic voluntary muscle contraction followed by […]
PREVENTIVE HEALTH?
Preventive health is an oxymoron if I ever heard one!! Occasionally a ‘scientific’ article actually uses that ridiculous term. We should not be seeking to prevent health but rather to prevent disease or prevent the need for medicine-thus preventive medicine should be a goal. There is little evidence that most routine testing is of value […]
Physician Short or Patient Excess? The Modern Obscenity
USA TODAY’s front feature on March 3, 2005, proclaimed a ”doctor shortage.” Over 25 years ago the Secretary of HEW stated ”Make no mistake; this is a consensus among experts throughout the world.” He was referring to the CA– USE of the vast majority of illnesses-sick lifestyle. About the same time Dr. John Knowles, President […]
Pharmaco Toxins
Slowly the public is learning what physicians have known for many decades. Drugs cause complications. Yes, sometimes pharmaceuticals are terrific and occasionally save lives. However, the evidence is quite overwhelming that prescription drugs kill well over 100,000 people each year-that was admitted in the JAMA in 2000. This means it almost certainly is 200,000, as […]
Pharmacomafia Lies
Pharmacomafia Lies: 94% of the PharmacoMafia’s advertising is NON-Scientific!! In general, I have the impression that the PharmacoMafia has more political clout in the United States than it does in Europe. Thus the finding that the Emperor has been exposed to have only 6% honest clothing is most revealing and further emphasizes the great need […]
