What is a Medical Model? In the Oxford English dictionary the word model is defined as “design to be followed, style of structure”. Then it follows that there must be a model to distinguish health from disease, that differentiates the two states of being. No disease can be treated without knowing exactly what caused it. Let […]
Over the course of writing our book, Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition, I had the privilege of reading hundreds of Dr. Lonsdale’s case studies, a treasure trove of clinical insight. One, in particular, has become incredibly important and may shake the very foundation of the current genetic paradigm. The case involved an […]
Welcome to a very complex tale of connecting dots between life long symptoms and a current state of severe food intolerances and vitamin deficiencies. Outside of the food safety zone, my symptoms become so severe that I cannot function. Within, there are some symptoms but very tight regimes of high maintenance food prep, supplements and […]
In the 1930s Otto Warburg won a Nobel Prize for an observation that has since become known as “the Warburg effect” in oncology. He had reported that most cancer cells predominantly produce energy by a high rate of glycolysis (sugar metabolism) rather than the low rate in most normal cells. The energy in cancer cells, […]
When we think of genetics, of DNA, we think of something fixed or hardwired. This has been the predominant dogma of the last century and still is to some extent. Contrary to our rather deterministic expectations, however, DNA is not the immutable blue print for health and disease that we once thought. It is quite […]
I had a recent email from a 38-year-old lawyer to thank me for a treatment that was given to her when she was eight years of age. I do not know what prompted her to try to contact me after 38 years, but her story has to be of general interest because it is so […]
As everyone knows, the spinal column is made up of a series of bones known as vertebrae. Like bricks in a column, they collectively support the entire body in an upright position. Their anatomy is very complex because, collectively, they have to allow for the spinal column to bend in every direction without parting company […]
In the not too distant past, before sophisticated brain imaging tests became available, it was the job of the neuropsychologist to assess brain function and brain damage based upon an array of cognitive and behavioral tests. These tests measured the functional capacity of different brain regions. They were entirely behavioral and performance based and could, […]
