Triad Of Health Family Healing Center now holds regular thyroid workshops that are completely FREE. This means that people in the local and surrounding communities are able to come and learn about the options to the conventional model for thyroid disease. The conventional model offers patients only 3 ugly and frightening options:

The experts say that you should replace your mattress every 5 to 10 years, with eight years being the sweet spot. They’re expensive, so you’ll want to do a lot of research to make sure that it’s the best choice for you and your family. You should also try to make sure that your new mattress is also the healthiest option for the planet.

If you are having headaches and want to get rid of them then you are not alone. There are about 45 million Americans that suffer from headaches (1). The most important thing when dealing with ANY health concern is to determine the underlying cause of that health concern. There are 3 causes of ALL HEALTH CONCERNS. There are structural, chemical, and emotional causes of all health concerns and headaches would be no exception to this. For example, according to Alan Miller, ND of Bastyr University, heavy metal toxicity is directly associated with headaches (2). This is a chemical cause of headaches.

Hypocrites, the father of modern medicine said, “the highest good is to find the cause.”  What he meant by this is that if you do not find out what is causing the symptom then you will not be able to get rid of the symptom with any lasting result.  Of course, back pain is a symptom.

Nearly all digestive problems involve either the Ileocecal Valve, the Valves of Houston, or both valves.
When a person has a lot of difficulties with their digestion they ALWAYS have difficulties with their emotional state – ALWAYS

When thinking about digestion, most people think about the balance between good bacteria in the gut and bad bacteria. This is important. It is true, if there is too much of a certain bacteria and too little of certain other bacteria then this is called Dysbiosis. Dysbiosis is an unhealthy environment (chemistry) of the gut. One of the main things that causes dysbiosis is an over burdened and over taxed liver and gallbladder. Poisons and toxins accumulate in the liver and gallbladder and when they do they lead to poor digestion. It is very difficult to digest protein if you are deficient in zinc because you are under a great deal of stress and unable to metabolize stomach acid because you are missing the zinc necessary to do so.

Recently after talking to a few new and old patients as well as hearing about some things that are becoming popular in the media, it has come to my attention that very few people know what the scope of my practice is and what types of conditions we treat in our office. Our office has always taken pride in considering ourselves to be relatively good at marketing our services but this realization that our ideal patients do not know what we actually do has been a big wake up call for our office.

The big problem with America is TOO MUCH SUGAR. It is the SWEET DECEPTION of things that taste great. Later in the year (2015) I will be doing a lecture about the BITTER SWEET TRUTH OF SUGAR AND FRUIT and its sweet deception. On the T.V. and the radio and internet and magazines we are constantly being told that fruit is great for you and that you should have your 5 servings of fruits and vegetables every day…… but is this really true? Or, is it just some marketing gimmick that sounds great and allows the American Heart Association to convince everyone that they will be fine and never get heart disease. Well, I can share with you this much: the approach ain’t working. Heart disease is the number one leading cause of death in the United States and has been the leading cause of death for a few years now. If you live in the United States, your chances of getting heart disease are 1 in 2. That is a 50% chance. SUGAR CAUSES HEART DISEASE IN ALL FORMS. This is a documented fact and not my opinion. Sugar causes homocysteine levels to rise. Homocysteine leads to heart disease. Sugar also causes AGEs (Advanced Glycation End products) to go up and this leads to inflammation (increased c-Reactive Protein) and this then leads to heart disease. This is what happens. These chemicals as well as nuts and seeds and excessive spicy foods irritate the small intestine and the small intestine villi and microvilli and then lead to inflammation that negatively affects the heart and other parts of the body. This is new news for Western Medicine but in Traditional Chinese Medicine it has been known about for 100,000 years!!

Nothing could be more popular and exciting to healthy food and clinical nutrition advocates these days than the MICROBIOME. As a matter of fact, in San Rafael and other surrounding Marin County cities, the subject of the Microbiome is so popular that it is continually discussed on the radio (KPFA) and in social media and has become a very important part of the practice of Applied Clinical Nutrition in the entire Northern California region. What the microbiome is referring to is the populations of both friendly and unfriendly bacteria in your body – especially your digestive tract. Interestingly, there are more bacteria in your body than there are cells in the body.

Are you planning on getting a preventive double mastectomy?

There are 3 goals for this post:

Not to offend the reader.
Reveal the flawed thinking with any type of preventative Mastectomy surgical procedure or any other similar surgical procedure and the missing science.
Identify the depth of the flawed thinking and the greater implications for our entire society of this flawed thinking.
It may not be possible to accomplish all 3 of these goals with this post but perhaps it will be possible to accomplish 2 out of the 3 of them.
