Eczema, aka “atopic dermatitis”, is one of those poorly understood skin conditions. The cause is truly not known, though assumed to have a genetic and environmental component. This article will attempt to explain the likely cause and provide hope for the hopeless. That is, we believe there is not only “treatment” for this and many…
Acid reflux, celiac disease, Crohn’s disease, diverticulitis, GERD, IBD… these terms and many like them were once relatively unknown but are now all too familiar. The increased prevalence brings up the logical question “Why do so many people have digestive problems”. Or, more personally, Why is MY gut sick? https://youtu.be/_Aq-Po-vUQA There was a time when…
According to the latest scientific research, there are about 100 trillion microorganisms living in your intestinal tract. That is (according to most estimates) at least twice greater than the number of human cells in your body. To put 100 trillion in perspective, a clock ticking off 100 trillion SECONDS would need a battery strong enough…
Professor Michael D. Gershon, M.D., heads the Department of anatomy and cell biology at Columbia University.

The Gut via Hey Paul Studios Other words for the gut are the digestive tract, alimentary canal, bowels,…
You know the maxims. You’ve heard them for years, even repeated them to others. They are the collective truths that get passed down through the generations, changing to match the times, but always carrying a powerful, yet simple message that cuts to the core. via Wikimedia – Public Domain Wisdom quotes can seem so obvious…
Let’s keep it really simple here. Those who want to study biology probably already have, and those who don’t … won’t. Our goal isn’t to help you get through medical school, but to help you get through life. And that, my friend, requires a discussion about food and digestion. You can’t have one without the…
Dr. Haley wrote about aloin, in a previous article, but the same sort of question keeps resurfacing — in one form or another. So, let’s have a look at the subject from another perspective. Why does a health-promoting plant, like Aloe, contain a substance that may be unhealthy? Shouldn’t “good plants” be good and “bad…
Mr. Stevens asks: I have a little rosacea on my face. It flares up mostly during the hot heat of the day and calms some at night, only to repeat the next day. Over the past few years, my Dermatologist has had me try Oracea by mouth, plus Aczone and Finacea as creams. None has…

The doctors and their prescription pads couldn’t help Jordan Rubin. He was down to skin and bones before finally getting the help he needed. And that last-gasp advice, from a rather unorthodox nutritionist, transformed his life. Jordan gained 29 pounds during 40 days of intense dietary focus, and he regained the health others thought was lost forever.…
