Holos Institutes of Health
HOLOS INSTITUTES OF HEALTH (C) C. Norman Shealy, M.D.,Ph.D My interest in research began in 1953, the summer after my first year of medical school. I spent that and the next two summers researching the amygadala of the cat, under the tutelage of Dr. Talmage Peele, a great neurologist and neuroanatomist. In 1959 my first […]
YELLOW IS BETTER
YELLOW IS BETTER(C) C. Norman Shealy, M.D.,Ph.D I have never done well with sunglasses, as I cannot see well enough with most of them when I garden. Some years ago my wife gave me a pair of yellow golf glasses and for the first time I could see better than without sun glasses. I do […]
Use it or Lose it
— USE IT OR LOSE IT (C) C. Norman Shealy, M.D.,Ph.D. I have written more than once about the benefits and the NECESSITY of physical exercise. Indeed, if you want to feel good and be healthy, adequate physical exercise may be more important than anything else. When you build slowly to adequate physical activity, you […]
Limonene
GERD-FREE with d-LIMONENE (C) C. Norman Sheasly, M.D.,Ph.D. Significant heartburn is a major problem for which the proton pump inhibitors (PPI) have gained the number three spot on the PharmacoMafia’s income list! The problem with the little purple pill and its clones is that they block a major immune defense–hydrochloric acid (HCL). Hydrochloric acid is […]
What is Health?
What is Health? (C) C. Norman Shealy, M.D., Ph.D. For almost 70 years there has been a national and individual state debate over the issue of medical treatment, oddly called health care. Prior to 1926 there was no insurance to cover hospitalization and prior to the 1930’s there was no insurance to cover physician fees. […]
DEATH BY BODY MASS INDEX
DEATH BY BODY MASS INDEX (BMI) C. Norman Shealy, M.D., Ph.D. Death itself has never worried me. On the other hand, any illness which decreases quality of life certainly does! Obesity is one of the major destroyers of quality of life. Today one-third of Americans are overweight (BMI 25 to 29) and another one-third qualify […]
Feeding Your Temple
FEEDING YOUR TEMPLE (C) C. Norman Shealy, M.D., Ph.D. Recently as I was putting my garden to bed for the winter, I offered some of the current season’s goodies to someone who turned all of them down. I was suddenly aware of the restricted variety of foods that most people have. Having been an avid […]
REAL HEALTH VERSUS WEALTH
REAL HEALTH versus WEALTH (C) C. Norman Shealy, M.D.,Ph.D. . THIS IS WHAT WAS SUPPOSED TO GO TODAY!! Americans spend two to three times as much on disease care as do Europeans, but Americans are significantly less healthy! In a study of 9900 Americans, 6500 Brits and 17,000 mainland Europeans, ages 50 to 74, Americans […]
Telomeres, DNA Resonance, NanoTechnology, Health & Longevity
Before diving into DNA resonance, we need to go over a few definitions to set the stage. Resonance is the frequency at which a system oscillates optimally. Telomeres are the tips of DNA strands and are responsible for both health and longevity. Nanotechnology is the science of materials at 100 nanometers or smaller. To understand […]
Real Health Care
REAL HEALTH CARE(C) C. Norman Shealy, M.D., Ph.D. Just after I sent THIRD PARTY RAPE REVISITED, I read THE HEALING OF AMERICA by T.R.Reid, Penguin Press, N.Y. 2009, ($25.95) Reid presents the most sanguine view of the American fallacy of Disease Care. Providing himself as a patient with a chronically painful and restricted shoulder, he […]
