How do birds know when, and how, to fly south? How do salmon know when, and how, to swim upstream to lay their eggs? And how do bears know when, and how, to hibernate? The animal kingdom has always fascinated me. I love the idea that animals are born with an intelligence within them–that without…
We know censorship is prevalent in many countries that we don’t look kindly upon, and many would argue that it does not happen in our country. But in reality, we’d be naïve to think that censorship has not been happening for decades, if not centuries. I couldn’t tell you the history of censorship, but now…
I have a patient who has been trying to get his wife to come in to our office for ongoing headaches. This past week, he told me that he reached a level of frustration like never before. His wife was struggling with a headache, as she does often, and again failed to do anything about…

I’m often asked how I come up with new information each week. It’s easy! I see hundreds of patients every week, which means…
Everybody just wants to be happy. With all the advances we’ve seen in the past one hundred years, you would think we would be the happiest bunch of people in history. But we’re not! So why aren’t we? Hearing about a recent suicide really got me thinking about our difficult search for happiness. We should…
My view on health and healing is quite different from the traditional, modern approach that has become so widely accepted. In medicine, if something is low, doctors look to add something to the body to raise it. If something is high, they look to add something to lower it. If a body part is not…
With all of the research being done, money being spent, and knowledge we are gaining, it only makes sense that we are on the verge of a major breakthrough in regards to our health and longevity, right?
