Libido and Sexuality
Libido — the vital impulse or energy motivating human behavior. The sexual urge or lust. Wilhelm Reich, the second most important psychiatrist in history, (Carl Jung is undoubtedly the greatest; guess number three!) emphasized the critical nature of orgasm in health. He believed it was an essential balancer of life energy. Freud (my concept of […]
The BASICS of BIOGENICS – Healthy Lifestyle Habits
In 1977, I created the concept of Biogenics, the ”genesis of life,” with my first major book, 9O DAYS TO SELF-HEALTH. Initially, this included a major ”software” program for biofeedback and cassette tapes of a number of the mental exercises from the book. Over the ensuing decades, our research has expanded so that I can […]

Lowering High Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein Naturally
For some 8 months I have been exploring natural and safe ways to lower High Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein. There is virtually no circumstance under which I would take statin drugs. Personally I consider them dangerous and one of the next epidemics of The Emperor’s New Drugs. It may take another 20 years but ultimately they […]
Castor Oil Uses And Benefits – The Palma Christi
In September 1972, I was introduced to the Edgar Cayce readings, undoubtedly the most studied material channeled by an exceptionally talented intuitive. The concept that most intrigued me initially was Cayce’s recommendation of castor oil packs for a wide variety of problems. Dr. William McGarey of the ARE Clinic in Phoenix has written extensively on […]
Glutamine – For Intestinal and Immune Health
L-glutamine has marked anti-inflammatory and moderate analgesic activity. Indeed, its anti-inflammatory activity is comparable to the NSAID phenylbutazone! (Agents Actions, 1981, 11:243-249). Glutamine is used at a high metabolic rate by both lymphocytes and macrophages. In fact, macrophage phagocytosis is dependent upon its availability. Levels of glutamine are decreased in both muscle and plasma in […]
Health in the United States – Getting Worse!
Thirty years ago both Califano, Secretary of HEW (now known as US Department of Health and Human Services), and Knowles, President of Rockefeller Foundation, reported that 85% of illnesses are the result of an unhealthy lifestyle and thus are preventable. During this subsequent three-decade period, the Holistic Health and Medicine movement has evolved into Complementary […]
Homocysteine Levels
The most treatable ”cause” of atherosclerosis is homocysteine which is several times as dangerous as is cholesterol. Homocysteine is a metabolic product of methionine metabolism and even moderate levels may be seriously damaging. The ”normal” range is approximately 4 to 13 micro mol/liter. My experience strongly supports the optimal level at 7 or less. There […]
Iodine – Critical Nutrient for Everyone
As I indicated in an earlier article, iodine deficiency is rampant and is a great contributor to low thyroid function. In the May 2005 issue of Dr. Jonathan V. Wright’s NUTRITION & HEALING newsletter, Dr.Wright, my favorite nutritionist, reports that breast cancer is twice as common in women taking thyroid supplements. He believes that much […]
Iodine: The Silent Deficit
Iodine deficiency was first recognized more than 80 years ago, as a cause of goiter. During the 1920’s it was determined that the MINIMUM daily requirement for adults was 150 micrograms daily. Deficiencies lead not only to goiter but, when iodine-deficient pregnant women delivered babies, the brain of the newborn was severely damaged, leading to […]
