It's rather odd that I'll be writing two posts in a row having to do with a chiropractor, given that chiropractic is at best an occasional topic on this blog. Certainly, I don't hesitate to take on chiropractic when the mood strikes me or, more importantly, when I come across some seriously burning…
As an internist, my specialty is the prevention and treatment of adult diseases. One of the most common of these diseases is diabetes.
There are two main variants of diabetes: Type I (juvenile) and Type II. Type II accounts for about 95% of the 20 million cases of diabetes in the U.S. Diabetes is…
We live in a truly stunning time and place. The lovely vistas in the finest of science fiction movies could never produce the simple awe I feel when I look at NASA's image of sunset on Mars:

It turns out that when you get up close and have a look around, there is a pile of evidence on Mars suggesting that the Angry Red Planet used to be the Disgruntled Wet Planet. Have a look at this photo of an unambiguous delta sitting in a crater.

I am in total agreement with the first article, so cut sugar from my diet 3 years ago. I have to peruse labels diligently to avoid all kinds of sugars, but am managing.

According to the research of Weston A Price, seafood is one of the most important foods one can eat before and during pregnancy in order to ensure proper development of the nervous system, bone structure and eyes in particular. Seafood is potent in vitamin A and D, not to mention those all important omega 3 fatty acids. So, in one sense the article on seafood is correct. Unfortunately, due to the heavy polluting of our waterways, many fish have been heavily contaminated with mercury, which is detrimental to the nervous system and overall health. So, what to do? Stay away from tuna, halibut, and the large fish as they have the largest concentrations of mercury. Smaller fish like anchovies are better choices. Salmon is okay. But if you are nervous, take high vitamin fish oils like Carlsons or Green Pastures Blue Ice brand. That way you get the benefits of fish without the hazards. You can also go to www.gotmercury.org and type in the amount and type of fish you are eating, and it will tell you if the mercury levels are too high.
