By Dr. Julia v. Schuckmann – Trauma pain is not layered; it is intertwined. Treating it effectively requires a framework that addresses the interactions of fascia with the nerves, the nerves with the brain, and the brain with the lived experience of trauma. Fascia, a richly vascularized and dynamic sensory organ, full of nerve endings, coordinates movement and communicates with the nervous system, and injury involving fascia can be life-altering.
By Alan R. Gaby, M.D. – The banning of desiccated thyroid (DT) would cause great harm to hundreds of thousands of Americans, because DT is often the most effective, and in some cases the only effective treatment for hypothyroidism, and the FDA should do much more research before making a decision which affects us and our loved ones.
Review by Rudy Shur – Eyestrain may be a normal symptom of the times we live in, but it has consequences – headaches, blurred vision, eye pain, dry eye, excessive tearing, excessive blinking, double vision, eye fatigue, heavy eyes, burning sensation, difficulty focusing, poor night vision, neck and shoulder pain, poor visual acuity, or bloodshot eyes, this book explains how to take the necessary steps to resolve it.
By Sunil J. Wimalawansa – Current regulations fail to protect the public from chronic exposure to food contaminants and toxic additives. Nutrition and micronutrients—especially vitamin D is an important consideration when focusing on disease prevention and public health.
By Donnie Yance – Understanding the relationship between gut health and GLP-1 provides valuable insights into metabolic health optimization. We can naturally enhance GLP-1 function, and achieve better metabolic outcomes, by focusing on gut microbiome support through diet, stress management, and targeted supplementation.
By Geo Espinosa, ND, LAc – When it comes to processed meats, labels can be misleading, “natural” doesn’t mean safe, and making smart, informed choices most of the time is what keeps you healthy in the long run. Remember — a sustainable healthy lifestyle balances discipline and indulgence.
By Pamela Day – Urine-derived stem cells represent an unexpected yet highly promising cell source for regenerative medicine and could ultimately become a key tool in the development of safe, ethical, and personalized regenerative therapies.
By Benjamin Moss – While not always welcome in social settings, farting is often a sign of the digestive system moving, indicating that the gut ecosystem is doing its job.
Review by Rudy Shur – The Acid-Alkaline Food Guide is the first and only book of its kind to provide information based on hard science – on research conducted specifically to determine the effects that various foods have on the body’s acid-alkaline balance.
Sunil J. Wimalawansa – While many observational studies support vitamin D’s protective role in incidents and deaths from cancer, some recent mega-RCTs have failed to demonstrate this, primarily due to critical study design flaws. Well-designed, adequately powered clinical trials using appropriate methodologies, sufficient vitamin D3 doses, and extended durations consistently demonstrate that proper supplementation significantly reduces cancer risk and markedly lowers cancer mortality.
Brian Prax, DC – Healing doesn’t usually happen overnight. Just like a neglected plant doesn’t bounce back in a day, your body may need time to recover, but if we focus on the right things, we give ourselves the best chance to heal.
William B. Grant, PhD, et al. – A large body of research has found that vitamin D status is inversely associated with the risk of CVD, and temporal ecological studies find that seasonal variations in solar UVB affect the risk of CVD incidence and mortality rate.
Alan R. Gaby, MD – Medical treatment is most successful when it is based on real research. Dr. Alan Gaby has been vocal about fraudulent medical research for years. Most of the questionable work is from Iran, although China, Egypt, and Japan are but a few of the other countries producing or promoting information from highly questionable sources.
Geo Espinosa, ND, LAc – Vitamin D is low-cost, low-risk, and supported by strong science. It plays a big role in aging, prostate health, and immune defense, and adding it to your wellness routine is one of the best steps you can take to protect your health as you age.
Donald R. Yance, CN, MH – By adopting a whole-health approach and prioritizing preventive care, we can create a system that not only enhances individual well-being but also reduces the financial and societal burden of chronic disease.
Book Review by Rudy Shur – Although diet and nutritional supplements are essential to fighting macular degeneration, there are other steps you can take to lower your risk of AMD—such as quitting smoking, getting regular exercise, and protecting your eyes from damaging blue light—that can help you avoid or slow AMD.
by Donald R. Yance, CN, MH – Aloe vera (AV) is a tropical plant, and well-known medicinal herb, and Aloe vera gel contains compounds with proven antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic, immunomodulatory, and wound healing properties.
by Geo Espinosa, ND, LAc – Prostatitis remains frustrating for both patients and physicians alike, and success in managing it often lies in looking beyond the prostate—and toward the whole person.
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...

Menopause Care in the Longevity Era Longevity medicine is everywhere right now. Supplements, protocols, influencer clinics, patients walking in with questions about interventions their doctors have never heard of. What's missing from most of it is the evidence. The Midlife Women's Health Summit is three days on what the research actually says about menopause care when you add a longevity lens. What works, what doesn't, what's being oversold, and what to tell the patient sitting in front of you. Co-chaired by Lisa Larkin, MD, FACP, MSCP, IF, Jen Gunter, MD, FRCS(C), FACOG, DABPM, ABPMR, and Lauren Streicher, MD, FACOG, MSCP; three of the clearest voices in women's health on separating data from marketing.
