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 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 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 Ben Moss – A small change in the cuticles around my fingernails has become a surprisingly reliable reminder to take my vitamins. What fascinates me most is not the symptom itself, but how quickly the body can respond when it has the resources it needs to heal.
By Rob Lamberton, BSc, FNTP, FDN-P(c) – One of the most practically important observations in nutritional science is that most compounds influence multiple signaling axes simultaneously — and that this multi-axis influence is not a pharmacological complication but an intrinsic feature of how botanical compounds interact with biological systems.
By Cheryl Burdette, ND – Nausea, reflux, abdominal pain, palpitations, and anxiety may be connected through the gut-brain axis. Testing pointing to a broader digestive pattern affecting both gut function and nervous system balance.
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 Chris D. Meletis, ND – Conventional bioavailability technology asks how to carry a difficult molecule through the gut. Quantum Ayurveda asks whether the molecule’s own energetic state can be shifted before it gets there.
By Jacob Teitelbaum, MD – Physicians are usually pretty good at diagnosing nerve pain and its triggers. Still, it’s a good idea to be sure that your doctor has looked for the treatable causes.
The medical history should be assessed for excess alcohol use, vitamin deficiencies, hereditary factors, or treatment with medications that can cause nerve injury. A neurological examination and a nerve conduction study may also give an indication of the cause.
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 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 Rev. Ryan Sasha-Shai Van Kush – L-Methylfolate represents precision intervention: a naturally occurring metabolite addressing a genetically identifiable bottleneck in neurotransmitter biosynthesis. Its mechanism is not to block reuptake or agonize receptors, but to restore the cofactor infrastructure upon which all monoamine synthesis depends.
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 Jacob Teitelbaum, MD – The medications used to suppress inflammation are problematic. For example, arthritis medications are associated with a 35% increased risk of heart attack and stroke, as well as bleeding ulcers.
In some, severe pain can be caused by food sensitivities. Especially dairy and gluten. If the pain is persistent despite other treatments, it is worth taking a month to go strictly gluten and dairy free to see if that helps.
By Jacob Teitelbaum, MD – When you have a lot of aches and pains in different areas, this suggests that your muscles (and body) in general are not making enough energy. Even localized muscle pain suggests this, as the low overall muscle energy predisposed you to developing the problem.
Unless you treat the underlying causes of low energy, such as nutritional deficiencies, poor sleep, or repetitive stress to the muscle (e.g., from ergonomic problems), the low energy problem will recur.
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 Alan R. Gaby, M.D. – Summaries of articles on the Mediterranean diet, glyphosate, Psoriasis, food allergies, research fraud, turmeric, and more!
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.
