If you listen to the radio, surf the Internet, or watch television, you might have heard a pitch for a discreet way to treat sexual problems, hair loss, even depression and anxiety: just visit their website. These are not pitches for supplements or other non-traditional treatments; they’re for medications that can fix your problem. Don’t […]
When I travel, I get to read more including some of the business magazines. Over this last weekend, I read three separate articles related to healthcare and the way it’s being delivered using today’s technology. I have teeth cleaning scheduled for today, so I’ll begin with dental care. How would you like to have the […]
The final marketing point that the prescription fish oil supplement makes is that the DHA omega-3 fatty acid found in many heart healthy fish oil blends may raise LDL-cholesterol. That’s the cholesterol, known as the lousy cholesterol, associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Based on the studies I read, there may be a […]
Before I address the concerns about fish oil supplements put forth by the Vascepa® prescription omega-3 website, it’s important to understand that all prescription and over-the-counter medications have been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). That means they have spent a significant amount of money—sometimes over $1 billion—to prove that the treatment […]

Reports […]
If you’ve been paying attention to the health news at all, you know that there have been some serious respiratory issues and deaths related to vaping. Because the majority of patients were young and were using flavored juices in the vaping products, Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer placed a temporary ban on the sale of all […]
In this Memo, I’ll review the third paper from the recent journal Cell on fasting and summarize what this all may mean for the use of intermittent fasting. Researchers used both mice and humans as subjects in a series of studies. The objective was to examine how the immune system responded to a fasting protocol. […]
The second paper from the journal Cell on fasting examined the longer term effects of fasting on memory T cells. Several species of mice were used in a variety of studies; these were complex experiments to say the least. Before I go further, a little about memory T cells. Memory T cells are a class […]
