By Donnie Yance – The body of preclinical research on dandelion root extract reveals intriguing therapeutic potential across oncology, neurology, endocrinology, and general wellness.
By Geo Espinosa – Evidence first. Context always. Natural and lifestyle first when possible. The label on a therapy matters far less than its fit, its safety, and its proof. We don’t choose between modern and integrative medicine.
By Rob Lamberton, BSc, FNTP, FDN-P © – The tumor microenvironment — the immediate milieu of stromal cells, vasculature, immune infiltrate, and signaling molecules surrounding a tumor — is well established as a determinant of tumor behavior and treatment response. It is, in effect, a local terrain.
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.
By Jacob Schor, ND – In 1772, William Heberden invented the term angina pectoris to describe its symptoms of chest pain. Angina was an invented name, a cross between words used to describe sore throat, anger, and anguish, so that angina pectoris meant something like a severe anguishing angry sore throat pain in the chest.
By Donnie Yance, CN, MH, RH(AHG) – I’ve seen countless patients improve their health not through aggressive pharmaceutical intervention, but through fundamental lifestyle changes: eating real food, moving their bodies, managing stress, cultivating relationships, and finding purpose. These interventions work with our biology, not against it. They reduce inflammation, optimize metabolic function, and support the body’s innate healing capacity.
Review by Patricia S. Lemer, MEd. LPC – Plant, animal, and human biology use electromagnetic radiation as light to survive, through photosynthesis, circadian rhythms, and the production of life-sustaining substances such as melatonin and Vitamin D. An over-abundance of ionizing radiation from higher frequencies of the electromagnetic spectrum causes well-known changes to skin.
By Eleonore Blaurock-Busch – Though the agricultural use of chemicals may lead to an increase in crops, it also leads to an increase in cancer and other health problems.
By Donald Yance – Although most drugs designed by man are mono-targeted therapies, those designed by “mother nature”, and have been used for thousands of years, are “multi-targeted” therapies. In this review, we examine two agents that have been around for thousands of years.
By Donnie Yance – The future of selenium supplementation lies in moving from one-size-fits-all recommendations to individualized protocols based on genotype, existing health status, baseline selenium levels, and specific disease conditions. With continued research and clinical application, selenium supplementation may become a cornerstone of comprehensive cancer prevention and chronic disease management strategies.
By Erik Peper, PhD – The recently released Netflix documentary The Plastic Detox offers an eye-opening exploration of the hidden dangers of the chemicals in plastics in our homes and daily lives. It highlights concerns ranging from hormone disruption—which may contribute to declining fertility worldwide—to increasing rates of cancer and earlier occurrences of heart attack and stroke.
By Jacob Teitelbaum, MD – In recent years scientists have discovered that many chronic health conditions, including chronic Lyme and other infections, fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue, MCAS and chronic pain, share a common driver: inflammation in the brain.
By Donnie Yance – For too long, we’ve accepted chemotherapy’s collateral damage as inevitable—the price that must be paid for a chance at cure or extended survival.
The research on fasting and chemotherapy offers a different paradigm, to support the quality of life while optimizing outcomes.
By Faezeh Sharif – Cancer challenges the view of life as an orderly and continuous process, a challenge that can entail major psychological consequences. Patients who perceive their illness as more dangerous, chronic, and uncontrollable become more passive, report greater disability, have poorer social functioning, and experience more psychological problems.
By Erik Peper – Ultra-processed foods and sugar-sweetened beverages are also associated with increased risk for obesity and metabolic disease; moreover, cancer survivors who consume higher amounts of ultra processed foods face a significantly increased risk of both all-cause and cancer-specific mortality/
By Geo Espinosa – The integrative goal is to remodel the metabolic environment that drives erectile failure in the first place. That means restoring endothelial function, preserving lean mass, supporting endogenous testosterone, normalizing inflammation, and rebuilding the autonomic balance that allows arousal to translate into a usable erection.
Weight loss is the lever. Sexual function is one of the most honest readouts of whether the lever worked.
By Sylvie Beljanski – The recognition of cancer stem cells as central drivers of recurrence and metastasis has introduced a new paradigm in cancer research, and though further clinical validation is required, the prospect of safely suppressing the biologic roots of recurrence represents an important and potentially transformative frontier in breast cancer care.
By Donnie Yance – Multiple factors influence ADMA levels, including testosterone, homocysteine, and oxidative stress, providing insights into mechanisms of cardiovascular disease. While L-arginine supplementation has shown inconsistent results, several established cardiovascular therapies reduce ADMA levels, potentially contributing to their benefits.
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...
Join us for a thought-provoking and in-depth exploration of one of the most debated and evolving areas in modern medicine. Vaccines and Immunology: Confronting Misinformation, Disinformation, and Seeking the Truth brings together healthcare practitioners for a balanced, data-driven examination of vaccine science, immune system function, clinical outcomes, and the future of immunology research. This two-day conference will feature dynamic keynote sessions with Del Bigtree and Aaron Siri, in addition to other experts on the field of vaccinology. These thought leaders will share their perspectives, research, and insights designed to encourage deeper inquiry, professional dialogue, and critical thinking. Participants will gain exposure to current scientific findings, policy considerations, emerging trends, and real-world case studies that impact clinical decision-making. The goal of this event is to foster constructive, respectful, and informed conversation among professionals committed to patient well-being and medical integrity. Enhance your expertise by beginning the week with a two-day Pre-Conference Workshop on IV Chelation and Therapeutics, September 16–17. This practical training is designed for clinicians interested in expanding treatment options and integrating IV protocols into patient care. This conference is tailored for physicians and healthcare professionals across integrative, functional, and conventional medicine who value informed discussion and professional growth.
