Health and wellness articles from a Health Science perspective
Most people have never heard of DMSO. For most people familiar with it, it’s usually a curiosity, something mentioned in alternative health circles or veterinary supply catalogs, but rarely in a clinical context. Of course, that gap between its reputation and its actual therapeutic record is worth examining. DMSO stands for Dimethyl Sulfoxide, which is […]
Most people have been taught to think of a healthy meal as something built around a grain base, surrounded by vegetables, with protein as an afterthought. Nature’s Intent disagrees with that construction entirely. The True Omnivore framework does not build a plate around starches and plant fiber. It centers on nutrient density, and the ocean […]
The relationship between carbonated beverages and weight management is more complicated than most dietary guidance acknowledges. The explanation provided here runs much deeper than calories, sugar content, or ingredient labels. This article presents a systems-level examination of how carbonation (including sparkling water), regardless of caloric content, interacts with the hormonal architecture governing hunger, the stress […]
If you’re dealing with a stealth disease, here’s an idea that might be worth exploring. Modern dietary debates tend to focus on macronutrients, caloric balance, and, increasingly, anti-nutrients. However, I would argue that far less attention is paid to trace metals that accumulate quietly through food choices and interact with immune function, gut integrity, and […]
Across cultures that never spoke to each other, a strikingly similar practice emerged. When someone was wounded, sick, or weak, they were fed liver. Hunters gave it to injured tribe members. European midwives fed it to postpartum mothers. Traditional Chinese medicine reserved it for blood loss and fatigue. Even military rations in the early twentieth […]
The deterioration of American health is no longer subtle. Chronic disease continues to rise, metabolic dysfunction has reached unprecedented levels, autoimmune disorders are increasing in frequency, and younger populations are developing conditions once limited to older adults. Are the current dietary guidelines wrong? Probably, but we have to have a nuanced conversation to discover why. […]
The word doctor does not mean “healer.” It also doesn’t mean “surgeon,” “physician,” or even “medical authority.”
Performative grief has become a common behavioral pattern in digital culture, and it represents one of the most destructive forms of emotional manipulation in modern life. It is the public display of sadness, despair, or suffering for the purpose of gaining attention, likes, validation, or social power rather than genuine communication or healing. The behavior […]
For much of modern medical history, the appendix was considered vestigial, an evolutionary leftover with no meaningful function. Surgical removal was common practice, often performed even in mild cases of inflammation. In recent years, however, accumulating evidence has challenged this perception. Research, supported by years of anecdotal experience, now suggests the appendix plays significant roles […]
This article comes at the request of several readers, because once again, we see an old and reliable treatment in the news, being ridiculed as pseudo-science or dangerous. Why? Probably so that you will fear it and turn to some newer and more costly treatment. How many times must we see this before we ignore […]
