Your top health risk needs an urgent update. The chance of you getting a heart attack or stroke surprisingly depends on your HORMONES.

Ever wonder, "What's wrong with my hormones?" Maybe it's "Not enough government regulations." Yes, many of the chemicals that lax regulations allow as pollution in our air-food-water are actually HORMONE DISRUPTORS. Some, like insecticide DDT or flame retardant PCB, are well-known. Others, like the 80,000 or so approved industrial chemicals, are not known disruptors, because they have never been tested for d...

What do you really know about sexual assault? It seems we are overloaded with news of high profile people being serial abusers. Names come to mind like Bill Cosby, Harvey Weinstein, Bill O'Reilly, Jeffrey Epstein, and Donald Trump. But these are just the visible tip of an enormous iceberg. Sexual assault is one extreme form of the much larger category of interpersonal harassment called 'abusive relationships'. Never suf...

Where were you when Trump told four members of Congress that they should get kicked out of the country? Not only was it four women, but each is a women of color. So, in addition to reckless racism, Trump further increased the chances of violence against women. He misquoted them and lied about their political stance, clearly just in order to score cheap points against immigrants. This is as dangerous as was painting cross hairs on a...

If you have fatigue, depression, overweight, poor sleep or memory, here's GOOD NEWS. Often, the easily treated underlying cause is simple LOW THYROID. But, standing in your way to good diagnosis and proper treatment is a huge untruth: The false claim that you need only one particular test for diagnosis, and only one particular medicine for treatment.

As an MD, I say stop wasting money on vitamins that don't have the necessary PURITY or POTENCY. Yes, use nutrition to help manage various medical issues, but use items with a higher quality than provided by pharmacies or health food stores. Consider THYROID boosters as just one example. No amount of store bought vitamins can match the evidence-based formula, 'Med Caps T3'. It has the crucial items & amount of vitami...

Ever wonder why our society seems so troubled? We are so dangerously off-balance because male/female status is so out of balance. The exquisite harmony of nature needs both the masculine and feminine principle to be examined and expressed. The problem is that governments and politics are largely run by just men. It is only in the last 100 years that women have even had the right to vote, and only just recently have women commonly r...
