Anxiety: Friend or Foe?
Anxiety is a negative word, and most would not describe “anxious” as a pleasant experience. However, if we were not hard-wired for anxiety, we would likely not have survived. Our ancestors would have succumbed to the first saber-tooth tiger or cave bear they stumbled upon. Anxiety triggers vigilance, wariness, self-protection and anticipation. If we are ...
A Real Pain
Pain is our friend. It alerts us that something is wrong and that we need to act. Without pain, we would not survive very long. Imagine having appendicitis and no pain, imagine having bone cancer and no pain, or imagine having wounds and infections and no pain. All these outcomes would be disastrous. So, one ...
Pay Attention! Supplements and ADD/ADHD
When I was a child, no one had ever heard of attention deficit or attention deficit with hyperactivity disorder (ADD/ADHD). These diagnoses were not in their current form until the late 1980s and were not frequently used until the 1990s. But there were always children (and adults) that were delightful whirligigs of constantly shifting thought ...
Brain Care & Preventing Decline
I don’t know about you, but I am no longer a spring chicken. I remember the moon landing, pet rocks and bell-bottom blue jeans the first time they were popular. I can remember the first chapter book I ever read (Bambi) and the names of all my grade school teachers. So why can’t I remember ...
Breathing Is Not Optional!
Unless you are a professional singer or play the bassoon, you may not think very often about the strength of your lungs. And yet these powerful organs bring oxygen into our body and empty out waste materials every time we breathe. I think we have all been in a situation where our ability to take ...
Healthy Liver, Longer Life
I think the liver is the overlooked workhorse of the body. Most people know that the liver is the major organ of detoxification. Without the liver, that shot of tequila would be around for a very long time indeed, circulating and causing trouble. We would not be able to live much more than a day ...
Finding New Cancer Answers
When I worked in mainstream oncology, I sat with many patients who had received some of the worst news of their lives. They had cancer and they were overwhelmed. Suddenly, their existence revolved around statistics (percent alive at five years post-treatment, percent response rate, percent failure rate, percent surgery success, to name a few) and ...
Parkinson’s and Other Neuro Disorders: The Broken Brain
There is nothing quite as scary as finding out your brain isn’t working properly. It is not an overstatement to say that many of us feel our brains house our identity, our mind, our personality. While we like to reassure ourselves that our thoughts and behavior are fully under our conscious control, having a brain ...
Want to Live a Long Time? Polyphenols Will Help Get You There
There is a huge amount of marketing around anti-aging interventions: creams, potions, diets, medications, devices, surgeries, fasting, exercise programs—all with a claim to turn back the hands of time. There is no perfect and easy answer, but there are some things you can do to slow down the damage that is done as we age, ...
Not All Energy Is Created Equal!
When we mention energy, we often think of fun—riding horses, roller blading, skiing, rock climbing and dancing, to name only a few. Sometimes we also think about energy in the context of our work and home life—raising children, shopping for meals, mopping the floor, cutting the grass, not to mention the energy to fulfill our ...
