Everyone’s an Insider Wednesday Night

The COVID-19 virus is on everyone’s mind based on the questions I’ve been getting. So here’s what I’m going to do: I’m going to hold the regularly scheduled Insiders Conference Call on Wednesday night at 9 p.m. Eastern Time. The difference is that I’m going to open it up to my entire list of subscribers. […]

Reducing COVID-19 Stress

On the way to the studio yesterday to record my radio show Straight Talk on Health, an Insider asked me about how to assess a hotel for whether he should stay there or not. Then last night, I heard an interview with David Ropeik, author of the book “How Risky Is It?” After thinking about […]

New Theory: COVID-19 in the 30-50” North Parallels

One of the questions that I’m frequently asked about COVID-19 is related to temperature: do I think that the virus will fade as the temperature gets warmer in the Northern hemisphere? My answer is still I don’t know. However, after Paula gave me an article to read, and then I read the scientific paper behind […]

An Update on Taurine Supplementation

Case studies serve a purpose in nutrition and medical research because looking at individuals or small groups of people may provide a direction that research can take. I recently read a research paper that examined two children from a Middle Eastern family that shared three symptoms: rapidly progressive childhood retinal degeneration, cardiomyopathy, and almost undetectable […]

COVID-19 and Social Media

A long-time friend and Insider asked if the following were true. I’m going to use excerpts because I don’t want someone to mistakenly think I endorse what’s being said. I don’t, and this Memo is going to point out where the lies exist. I can’t think of a nicer way of saying it because the […]

How Many Viruses in a Single Droplet?

All news sources are reporting on the COVID-19 virus. We’ve had the first six deaths in the U.S. and people are concerned. I understand; as someone who travels for a living and meets with groups of people locally and around the country, the thought crosses my mind. Of all the things we can do, the […]

2020 Supplement Facts Labels

Supplement Facts labels can be confusing to say the least. How much of each substance is in a product? Is the source of the supplement natural or synthetic? And what exactly is an International Unit (IU) anyway? I’ve noticed that supplement labels have eliminated IUs and replaced them with weights in milligrams (mg) and micrograms […]

Coronavirus-VitC

Vitamin C and the Coronavirus

A long-time reader and Insider asked me to check out an article titled “Vitamin C Protects Against Coronavirus.” It was sourced from the Orthomolecular Medicine News Service. I read it, and I read some of the other blog posts from their website on vitamin C and the coronavirus. They claim to have inside information about […]
