By Hesh Goldstein There is an important question that begs an answer: is modern medicine the best approach to wellness? Unfortunately, the unexamined assumption has been yes, but the truth is “not really”. In some instances of emergency and specific conditions like trauma, fast-growing tumors, and acute heart attacks and strokes, medicine is able to intervene in the disease process, mend broken bones, and stabilize people with heart attacks, etc. However, 20 or so years ago the government Office of Technology Assessment clearly stated that only 10 – 20 % of medical and surgical procedures have been scientifically proven. …read

In the centuries we humans have been studying anatomy, the fascia was never given much consideration. During dissections and autopsies, it was a nuisance to be cut away and removed to get to the important tissues beneath. But modern scientific study has brought a new appreciation of the fascia, as we continue to discover amazing functions of this misunderstood and underappreciated organ. Considering how prevalent it is in the body, it’s surprising how little we know about fascia. As well as its structural component, providing a counterbalance to the skeletal system through tensegrity, it’s also a messenger system, a key

So often we hear that it is totally normal for people to succumb to ailments and issues as they age. Despite the fact that even our recent ancestors didn’t seem to suffer a complete degradation of their bodies as they aged, today we’re told that chronic diseases are just a consequence of living longer (even though, on average, we’re only living 5 or so years beyond what our previous generations lived). How much of what we consider ‘normal aging’ is actually the consequence of a lifetime of poor or misguided dietary habits, toxic exposure from the environment or a lack

By Dr. Mercola Millions of people do their best to eat healthy foods and exercise regularly but forget to give their oral health the same attention in their daily health regimens. It’s important to remember that without effectively addressing your dental health, it’s difficult to achieve high-level physical health. Even more concerning are the millions of people who eat a healthy diet and avoid dangerous pharmaceutical drugs, but still expose themselves to harmful chemicals in their everyday personal care products. For example, parabens and phthalates are widely included in personal care products, as is fluoride in dental products. In addition

I’m a doctor ‘on the front-line’ in the ‘war against COVID-19’. Yes, we have a huge problem, but it is not necessarily the virus itself. The real problem is hidden in plain sight. Let’s see if we can begin to discern it. Lockdown Time This is how doctors, nurses and other medical staff and administrators are handling this crisis. They have set up “contaminated” respiratory divisions at clinics and hospitals, which are separated from the rest of the outpatients and health staff. Anybody coming in with a cough, or who is sneezing, or showing any sign of respiratory distress, is

The huge burden of obesity and other chronic conditions among people in the U.S. puts most of us at direct risk. Public health measures to slow the spread of Covid-19 have already taken a staggering toll on the economy, with the prospect of worse to come. The strategy at the heart of prevention, physical distancing, will continue to be tremendously disruptive to society. With businesses facing bankruptcy, schools closed and sports events canceled, President Trump and others have now asked: Is the cure worse than the disease? According to this way of thinking, we should refocus our efforts on those

By Dr. Mercola The scent of fresh-cut grass, your mom’s chicken soup or burning leaves may instantly transport you to a distant memory, one you can suddenly recall with razor-sharp clarity. So-called odor-evoked memories often come along with powerful emotions and are known to activate the “neurolobiological substrates of emotional processing,” according to neuroscientist Rachel S. Herz, an adjunct assistant professor of psychiatry and human behavior at Brown University.1 Research published in Learning and Memory2 added to this, suggesting that odors may modulate the dynamics of memory consolidation, including memories linked to fear, and could potentially be used therapeutically to

Be sure to watch the video at the bottom of the article.” Admin A lot has been said about anti-malaria drug hydroxychloroquine and how it has successfully been used to treat coronavirus patients.

The coronavirus has been a far deadlier threat in New Orleans than the rest of the United States, with a per-capita death rate twice that of New York City. Doctors, public health officials and available data say the Big Easy’s high levels of obesity and related ailments may be part of the problem. “We’re just sicker,” said Rebekah Gee, who until January was the health secretary for Louisiana and now heads Louisiana State University’s healthcare services division. “We already had tremendous healthcare disparities before this pandemic – one can only imagine they are being amplified now.” Along with New York

By Dr. Mercola Coronavirus (COVID-19) has been ruled a pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO).1 “Pandemic is not a word to use lightly or carelessly,” said WHO director-general Tedros Adhanom, in his opening remarks at a media briefing about coronavirus. “It is a word that, if misused, can cause unreasonable fear,” he said. Though a pandemic sparked by a coronavirus has never been seen before, he added, the world has also “never before seen a pandemic that can be controlled,” implying that this may be possible with COVID-19. As I write this, much of the U.S. has been shut

More than 90% of the legal marijuana products offered in medical dispensaries are much stronger than what clinical studies have shown that doctors recommend for chronic pain relief, according to a study published in the March 26 online edition of the journal PLOS ONE. To many that may seem like a good thing, but just the opposite is true. “We know that high-potency products should not have a place in the medical realm because of the high risk of developing cannabis-use disorders, which are related to exposure to high THC-content products,” said the study’s lead author, Alfonso Edgar Romero-Sandoval, M.D.,

For example, March 18, 2020, CNN reported2 the health minister of France, Oliver Veran, is warning against using nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen to treat fever and pain associated with COVID-19 infection, and to use acetaminophen (paracetamol) instead.
