Natural Prevention and Approaches to Lyme Disease (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Lyme disease is a systemic bacterial infection caused by the spiral-shaped bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi. The classical symptoms are swollen or itchy red circles (“bullseye,”), flu-like fever, chills, and sweats, fatigue, headaches, a stiff neck, joints and muscles. In healthy individuals, all basic symptoms completely disappear within about two weeks.Despite the paranoia, only 1%-5% of people bitten by a tick will develop Lyme disease infection. There are several reasons behind this:First, the
How I Corrected AI on Osteoporosis in post-Menopausal Women (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I have already written about the little-discussed but crucial effects of imbalances in steroid hormones on our fertility, weight, hairs, bones, skins, mood, memory, etc. (The Puzzle of Testosterone, Estrogens and Steroid Hormones Controlling Our Weight, Hair, Fertility and Health).Yet, recently I found out many of my female relatives are prescribed medicines and calcium supplements to prevent osteoporosis, which mainstream doctors believe is part of aging and drop in estrogen levels in women dur
What is Common Among Countries with Lower Cancer and Diabetes Rates? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This is not a strict scientific or epidemiological paper, but just some observations I have made. I used AI to find countries with lowest diabetes and cancer incidence rates. I asked for age-standardized rates to eliminate the artificial effect of low rates due to short lifespans in poorer countries. I also focused on industrialized nations that collect data rigorously and are exposed to similar environmental risks associated with wealthier economies. One thing I noticed is that countries like J
The Prostate and Breast Cancer Puzzles (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As people age, prostate health in men and breasts’ and ovarian health in women are strong indicators of overall metabolic health because these organs (breasts, ovaries and prostates) are sensitive to imbalances in steroid hormones which are master gene-level and cellular-level regulators of our body’s metabolism (energy conversion). In this article, I focus on prostate cancer and in the future I will write about breast cancer. If you do not understand what steroid hormones do, I highly suggest y
How to Research Harmful Side Effects of Each Drug (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In my recent review of Confessions of a Medical Heretic, I discussed how some prominent physicians like Dr. Robert Mendelsohn and Dr. Peter Gøtzsche have criticized the medical establishment’s for-profit approach to over-diagnosing and overmedicating patients, by downplaying the harmful effects of various medicines. Most people do not know how to truly research the harmful side effects of drugs. This article will show us how one can find out the “full extent” of harms potentially associated with
