By Donnie Yance – At its highest expression, music acts as a purifying bath for the soul. It engages the whole person—mind, body, emotions, and spirit—reorienting our awareness toward harmony, wholeness, and the Divine. Coltrane understood this at the deepest possible level.
Robert Lamberton, BSc, FNTP – Epstein-Barr virus accounts for roughly 2% of cancers worldwide, approaching 360,000 new cases and as many as 210,000 deaths each year, and about 95% of adults carry it. In the overwhelming majority, it causes nothing at all.
When a test for an agent is positive in nearly everyone, a positive test is not a finding. It is a background condition.
By Scott Wilson – In 1875, Dr. J.P. Thomas wrote about using coffee enemas for opium and belladonna poisoning. He referred to cases going back to 1858 and 1859 and described coffee enemas as one of the ordinary means of treatment. That word “ordinary” stopped me. He wasn’t describing an experiment. He was describing something physicians already knew.
By Erik Peper – Almost everyone can mentally picture their illness or stress, their healing process, and what it feels like to be healthy and whole. After practicing their personalized imagery, many report that their pain and symptoms have noticeably decreased.
By Ronald Whitmont, MD – Just as we have reached a watershed moment and a “tipping point” in our understanding of global ecology and climate change, we have reached a similar critical event horizon with respect to dysfunctional medical practices; and it is time to take evasive action.
By Bismah Irfan, MD – Older adults with the highest ultra-processed food intake had 26% higher incident-CKD risk — 37% when animal-sourced — and its phosphate additives are almost fully absorbed, versus roughly half from plants.
Book review by Rudy Shur – My hope is that this book will be a guide and an explanation of what breast cryoablation is all about and if you are a candidate. The goal is to educate women who are struggling with a breast mass and work-up for breast cancer and who need another potential option for dealing with their diagnosis and to help reduce recurrence.
By John Parks Trowbridge, MD, FACAM – By reducing the toxic load of metals like lead, mercury, cadmium, and arsenic, chelation therapy supports better neurological, cardiovascular, and immune health. The Food and Drug Administration has approved DMSA for reduction of lead toxic body burden and EDTA for lead and certain cadmium conditions.
By Richard Moskowitz, MD – For medicines to be manufactured and dispensed on a large scale, they must be potent enough to force most people taking them to function in whatever narrowly targeted way we’ve determined that they should, and to override any individual sensitivities that might interfere.
By Donnie Yance – Hawthorn has been used for centuries as a cardiovascular medicine, and modern research is revealing just how broad its effects may be. From heart failure and hypertension to metabolic health, inflammation, and healthy aging, this traditional botanical has an impressive and growing evidence base.
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 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 Donnie Yance – Artemisia annua has a rich medicinal heritage spanning over 1,600 years, with documented use in China since AD 341 for treating febrile illnesses. For centuries, Chinese communities have consumed Artemisia annua leaves and incorporated them into Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) practices to promote general health.
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 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 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.
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...

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.
