This week, I reviewed the cyclosporiasis outbreak a little more; not much has changed. I’m waiting to hear a friend’s experience with treatment. Then, I got into how much caffeine is enough, or too much? According to the American Heart Association, 400 mg is fine for most people! It’s NOT fine for me. I’d be […]

This week, we reviewed the latest on cyclosporiasis. Hint: DON’T stop eating produce. Shop local! Go the farmer’s markets and talk to the actual farmers about their growing practices! Then, it was all about cholesterol. There’s a new drug on the market, an oral PCSK-9 inhibitor, before which there were only injectables. Is it a […]

This week, I started off mentioning the smoky skies due to the Canadian wildfires, and that it’s not the best idea in the world to spend a lot of time outdoors while it’s here. It can definitely affect people already compromised by allergies, asthma, COPD, and other lung conditions. Then we got into what’s going […]

This week, I reviewed the latest on my Lyme treatment, which is not too bad, some antibiotics, herbs, and probiotics. Then we talked about the great vitamin K2, whose job is to direct calcium to your bones and away from places you don’t want it, like in your knees, kidneys, and arteries. Then on to […]

This week, I reviewed the symptoms of various tick borne illnesses, and what pharmaceuticals are usually given for acute illness. I also discussed herbs that can be helpful, including oregano oil I talked about tick borne relapsing fever, which is more common west of the Rockies, and is not caused by the Lyme species we […]

This week, I talked more about treating my Lyme disease with herbs and antibiotics, and some of the pitfalls. It’s a slow process, good days and bad days. I also talked about how important it is to make sure your lymphatic system is functioning properly so that you can carry the waste products of the […]

This week, I talked about having accepted that yep, I have active Lyme disease again, and how I’m treating it. Amoxicillin to take the top off, all kinds of Buhner herbs to fight Lyme and coinfections, and probiotics to keep my immune system healthy and to replace what the antibiotics are killing. Gentle exercise, no […]

This week, I talked about post-viral syndrome that can happen to anyone, and also to people with long COVID or long vax syndromes. It’s where your immune system stays kicked up even after fighting off a current infection, and gives you symptoms like fatigue, dizziness, cough, and digestive upset. We talk about help for this. […]

This week, I talked about the dreaded DEMODEX BLEPHARITIS, that nasty mite that loves to hand out in your eyelids. There are natural and pharmaceutical ways of eradicating it and we talk about them! As if that’s not bad enough, there’s TOENAIL FUNGUS, natural help for that too, but the pharmaceuticals work faster. We finish […]

This week, I talked about hydration especially in the heat. It’s really important! There’s different mineral levels based on your sweat and activity level, and even glycerol for hyperhydration! We also talked about using technology to encourage folks to drink adequate fluids to prevent kidney stones, and it was found to be difficult! But it wasn’t because […]
