By Donnie Yance – The body of preclinical research on dandelion root extract reveals intriguing therapeutic potential across oncology, neurology, endocrinology, and general wellness.
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 – 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 Deborah Nathan – Menopause-related bone loss can affect both cortical bone, the dense outer layer of bone, and trabecular bone, the porous, honeycomb-like bone found inside areas such as the spine, hip, and ends of long bones. Because trabecular bone is remodeled more frequently than cortical bone, it may be affected earlier and more rapidly by estrogen decline.
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 Dr. Cheryl Burdette – “Why does this patient’s zinc level go down, even though we have continued to supplement with it?” This paradoxical response of giving more, yet seeing levels go down, leads us to think about all the reasons that zinc may not shift as we expect, including how well absorbed it might be, how we are utilizing it, or if things are competing with it. Examining the root cause of upward or downward trends in zinc levels provides specific insight into the patient’s needs.
By Geo Espinosa – In integrative medicine, we’ve always understood that a treatment your patient can’t tolerate isn’t actually treating anything. Quality of life is not a soft endpoint. It’s time to add transdermal estradiol to our fluent vocabulary of ADT options — not as a fringe alternative, but as a legitimate, evidence-supported choice.
By Matthew Melnick – Historically, truly personalized care required time, attention, and constant follow-up—things most practitioners simply don’t have enough of. AI changes that equation.
With the right system in place, patients can receive continuous feedback, personalized adjustments, and behavioral guidance between visits.
By Michelle Perro, MD – Glyphosate and fluoride, when combined, form a partnership that neither regulators nor the public fully understand. Once they come into contact with aluminum, the trio can create a complex molecule that alters how the body performs some of its most fundamental biochemical tasks.
By Donnie Yance – Hydrogen-rich water represents an innovative nutraceutical with broad therapeutic potential across multiple medical conditions. The evidence base, while still developing, suggests promising applications in cardiovascular disease, metabolic disorders, liver and kidney dysfunction, mental health, cancer treatment support, and healthy aging.
By Darrell S.C.S. Misak, ND, RPh – Dr. Reams outlined that women of childbearing years need seven times the calcium of their male counterparts; they lose 7-15 times more calcium than a man for the same pH drift due to hormonal cation exchange. These ratios are clinical observations from thousands of Reams tests and have not been duplicated in controlled academic settings.
By Donnie Yance – Understanding the relationship between gut health and GLP-1 provides valuable insights into metabolic health optimization. By focusing on gut microbiome support through diet, stress management, and targeted supplementation, we can naturally enhance GLP-1 function and achieve better metabolic outcomes.
By Donnie Yance – Kudzu, used traditionally for the treatment of menopausal symptoms. Over the centuries it has been used to treat alcoholism, hangover, gastric distress, high blood pressure and other circulatory problems, colds, flu, diabetes, skin rashes, kidney disease, and diabetic retinopathy, to name a few.
By Geo Espinosa – Melatonin is neither the benign panacea patients assume nor the cardiotoxic agent suggested by headlines. Its value lies in circadian stabilization, vascular support, REM enhancement, and antioxidant function—when used correctly, at the right time, and under clinical guidance.
By Dr. Chris Meletis – The omega-3 fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) have long been known to provide significant health benefits. More recently, a molecular mechanism has emerged that explains how they support a healthy inflammatory response.
by Chilmi Ntalli, MD – Thyroid dysfunction has long been associated with headache syndromes, and symptoms such as chronic headache, fatigue, cold intolerance, cognitive slowing, and musculoskeletal discomfort.
By Donnie Yance – Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale and Taraxacum mongolicum), long dismissed as a common weed, has emerged as a subject of serious scientific investigation for its diverse therapeutic properties. Used for centuries in traditional medicine…
October 2025 – My wife Elizabeth and I just wrapped up our visit to the Metabolic Health Day Conference in Tucson,...
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. Join colleagues […]
