By Benton Bramwell, ND, and Matt Warnock, JD – If the war against alternative medicine is over, it is time to openly consider the practical reality of traditional medicinal products that may be reasonably referred to here in the States as “Traditional Herbal Drugs.”
By Michelle Perro, MD – The mechanism by which GLP-1 agents produce weight loss includes delayed gastric emptying defined by a reduction in antral and duodenal motility with increased pyloric tone. In a subset of patients, this effect progresses to clinically significant gastroparesis.
By Gary Null, PhD, and Richard Gale – Do we have something to look forward to each morning, or do we carry an undiagnosed, existential dread that we’ve only now stopped long enough to notice? Have we been on the wrong path—living someone else’s life, according to someone else’s expectations, in obedience to an obligation we never chose?
By Nicolo Montecalvo, DC, MS, ND, and Laurence V. Hicks, ND, DC, DO – This paper outlines an advanced, actionable diagnostic framework to guide clinicians past superficial phenotypes and accurately identify hidden cardiovascular and metabolic risk.
By Geo Espinosa – A PSA that climbs fivefold in eight months usually means you missed something. Sometimes it means the patient forgot to mention his testosterone injections.
By Faezeh Sharif, MSc – Multi-component mind–body interventions — combining laughter yoga, diaphragmatic and slow breathing, Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), self-compassion practice, guided imagery, self-massage, and deep relaxation (Shavasana) — are increasingly offered in complementary and integrative health settings.
By Joy Reuther-Costa – But chewing is not simply the process of making food small enough to swallow. It engages the nervous system, contributes to digestion, participates in appetite and metabolic signaling, provides mechanical stimulation to the jaw, and takes place within a remarkably complex microbial ecosystem.
By Erik Peper – Individual choices matter, but they are not enough by themselves. Our health depends as much on government policy as on personal willpower. Government regulations set safety standards for the air we breathe, the food we eat, and the water we drink.
By Michelle Perro, MD – Early-onset colorectal cancer, generally defined as colorectal cancer diagnosed before age 50, has been rising for decades. The phenomenon is particularly disturbing because many cases occur in people without an obvious hereditary cancer syndrome.
By Gary Null, PhD – The average American now spends most of the day’s free hours on a screen, and the newest ritual has a name the dictionaries have already accepted: doomscrolling —
By Geo Espinosa, ND – Mortality has several doors: prostate cancer, cardiovascular disease, other cancers, and other causes. When the investigators tracked which door men went through, the excess deaths tied to saturated fat went mostly through the cardiovascular door.
By Erik Peper, PhD, BCB, Stoyan Vezenkov, PhD, Violeta Manolovab, Lauren Mason, PhD and Richard Harvey, PhD – The empirical record on educational technology in early and primary education has not delivered on its promises—math and reading scores have declined while screen use in classrooms has risen, as the US NAEP data and Sweden’s recent reversal of its “digital-first” education policy make plain.
By Geo Espinosa – For prevention-oriented men, the defensible recommendation is dietary: three or more mushroom meals per week across varied species. Shiitake, oyster, maitake, and king oyster are the antioxidant-dense choices. The nutritional upside is real — high fiber, low glycemic index, very low fat, protein content in some species rivaling animal sources.
By Dr. Josep Lluís Berdonces – “Out of sight, out of mind,” goes a traditional proverb that Malang often repeats. The destruction of sacred forests, the loss of local languages, the disappearance of wise elders without passing on their knowledge: all of this represents a cultural and therapeutic catastrophe of incalculable dimensions.
By Joy Reuther-Costa – When people lose teeth, the consequences extend far beyond appearance. The ability to chew food properly affects digestion, nutrition, systemic health, mental health, and quality of life. Treating dental care as optional medicine ignores the fundamental role that teeth play in human health.
By Alan R. Gaby, MD – From eggs and Alzheimer’s risk to iodine during pregnancy, bromelain after dental surgery, and tomatoes for fatty liver, this collection explores intriguing connections between nutrition and health. We also examine questions surrounding CoQ10 for depression, sex-specific responses to iron therapy, goat milk formula and eczema, and celiac disease in unexplained cirrhosis.
by Gary Null, PhD – How many times have we gone against the current of our own being? You know you should do A, but you are conditioned to do B.
You are fighting it because the conditioned self is conditioned from a place of fear. And fear will always win if we give in to it.
By Donnie Yance – For diseases like cancer, diabetes, Alzheimer’s, and heart disease—diseases that have resisted single-drug approaches—network pharmacology offers genuine hope. By treating disease as the network problem it truly is, we’re developing treatments that work with biological complexity rather than against it.
It has proven to be difficult, if not impossible, to proceed to full-scale randomized controlled trials (RCTs) for most of the natural methods that cannot be patented or otherwise monopolized.
By addressing food sensitivities through targeted testing and personalized dietary interventions, individuals can take a significant step toward reducing inflammation, improving gut health, and enhancing overall well-being.
As the producer of The Moss Report, the year leading up to the Covid-19 pandemic was filled with anticipation and excitement. We had invested years of hard work and significant resources into two major projects: our feature film, Immunotherapy: The Battle Within, and...
