1). Antioxidante, Free Radicals and Sports Nutrition As you know, I am a physician. It's part of my profession to keep abreast of what's happening in medical /health research. Being retired helps, because doctors simply do not generally have the "extra time" to devote to the scientific literature. But I do. And I love it. I am one of those individuals who really enjoys …brace yourself…c... 2). Avian Flu: Do You Want the Good New or the Bad News? Avian Flu: The bad news first Well, it's flu season again. Only this time, we hear everyone talking about avian flu…the Super flu which is expected to wreck havoc across our land in the not so distant months. So what is avian flu? Avian flu is bird flu. Yes, you read that right, "Avian flu is bird flu." And why might that... 3). Cancer: Are You a Believer? First, we must settle one of two issues before you continue reading this article. The first issue is straight forward, a "direct-punch-to-the-nose" kind of a question: Do you believe cancer is "beatable?" I don't mean, "Sometime in the future..." I think everyone believes "some day", "somewhere", "someone" will discover th... 4). Diabetes "So Far So Good" There was this guy who jumped off the 37th floor of a tall building. As he fell, people at each floor inside the building heard him say as he passed them, "So far, so good…so far, so good..." Diabetes is a disease which cannot be "trusted." I know that's an odd way of putting it, but bear with me for a moment here. As a medical profes... 5). Diabetes: The $132 Billion Dollar Pandemic You know, it's not everyday a fellow like me gets to announce a major paradigm shift, much less concerning diabetes …or any other medical condition. You don't know what a paradigm shift is? Well, if I mentioned events and names like: Gutenberg, Copernicus, Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein, Louis Pasteur, and Werner von Braun …you would p... 6). Flu Threat: Lessons From Past Pandemics Flu and the Immune System Influenza ("flu") strikes every year and afflicts millions. Under normal circumstances, flu is not considered a general public health risk. Of course, any disease must be taken seriously for two reasons. First of all, any disease, including flu, can become dangerous through complications. ... 7). Glyconutrition: All Eyes On Newton Glyconutrition and the silence in Parliament: Sir Isaac Newton is not generally associated with medicine and biology, much less glyconutrition. Newton lived 1642-- 1727, a period now referred to as the Age of Newton. However, you don't get an entire age named after you unless you have done something spectacular…like inventing the calcu... 8). Health,Medicine and Glyconutrition: The Future Isn't What it Used to Be This is what they call "Hope"? We've all gotten used to the idea that certain maladies will be around for a while…like until the Second Coming. Maladies such as cancer, heart disease, diabetes, arthritis…and many more are expected to be around, in epidemic proportions, longer than we think we will be alive…and anyone who tries to tell ... 9). Menopause: Male Fretting Menopause (definition): The almost inevitable fretting by husbands whereby they first anticipate (sometimes is sheer terror), the looming specter of being "outside the affections of the marital bedroom" looking in… Let's concede the obvious. Menopause affects sex…can affect marriage. That concern is as old as civilization. Even ... 10). The Bird Flu and The Immune System: Don't Leave Home Without It Pollsters and advertisers tell us that people will spend a fortune getting well, trying to cure or mitigate some disease or condition but will almost never spend a dime preventing disease. This is important when considering your immune system. Your immune system is your first line of defense against very powerful diseases… in fact, ag... 11). The Immune System: Don't Leave Home Without It The immune system: Don’t leave home without it. Imagine your reaction when you open a fortune cookie and it reads, “Psychics will lead dogs to your body.” Sort of unnerving, huh? It is, if you don’t first roll over in gut-busting laughter. But, I’m told, that really did happen… I don’t know the reaction of the person involved, but it ... 12). The Immune System: Eureka Archimedes: His Discovery was the “talk of the town.” Archimedes, the ancient Greek scientist, was no exception. When his friend, King Hieron of Syracuse asked the famous scientist if the crown he was wearing was pure gold or if it was alloyed, Archimedes was stumped. One day as he stepped into a bath, it came to him. The... 13). Weight Loss: Don't Eat More Than You Can Lift Weight loss and weight-lifting: When I determined that I would write this weight loss article, I figured I wouldn't turn to “experts”, doctors or classical philosophers. So, I turned to that veritable sage of expert insight and real-life savvy…Miss Piggy. Her “weight loss” counsel? “Never Eat More Than You Can Lift.” I am...
