As many of you know I am interested in optimizing health and healthy longevity.  I am not interested in pushing my body to last for 150 or 200 years; however I want a long life with health and sufficient vigor until the end.  Of course this is what I want for my patients and family as well. Starting around age 25 we begin a slow decline in stem cell production.  These “pluripotent” (can become any tissue) cells emanate typically from the bone marrow and are the basis of tissue healing because they can become muscle, tendon, blood vessel, nerve, bone — whatever is needed.  Our bodies are intelligent, self-healing organisms  informed by good diet, good attitude and the basics of clean living.  Those of you who do your best to commit to these basics are in a terrific position to build on to healthy longevity, by stimulating de novo stem cell production. I have used PRP (platelet rich plasma) and oxygenation therapies (ozone infusions) for over a decade to help stimulate innate self-healing.  These therapies have been helpful to many...

Also, projections published recently by University of Washington on peak demand days for hospital beds by state IF good social distancing and hand washing are maintained through April.  Please take a look, and share. This model takes into account that NPIs/social distancing continues.  Some states, like Washington are predicted to be well resourced, perhaps short a few hundred ventilators.  New Jersey and New York are in for a rough patch. You use the pull down menu to select the state you are interested in (defaults to the entire country) https://covid19.healthdata.org/projections Likely folks have seen this already, but a good resource for the elderly and immunocompromised, those with comorbidities who are having groceries delivered. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sjDuwc9KBps#action=share

Cultivated foods have all developed mechanisms to protect themselves. Yes, they are “evolved organisms” and prefer to not be eaten. Mostly these toxic substances (called lectins) in almost all cultivated foods work to prevent bugs and birds eating away at the plants. But lectins can disrupt human gastric-intestinal health, and negatively impact brain function as well — including instigating food cravings.

FOREWORD This book discusses a new interpretation of the nature of obesity, and while it does not advocate yet another fancy slimming diet it does describe a method of treatment which has grown out of theoretical considerations based on clinical observation. What I have to say is an essence of views distilled out of forty years of grappling with the fundamental problems of obesity, its causes, its symptoms, and its very nature. In these many years of specialized work thousands of cases have passed through my hands and were carefully studied. Every new theory, every new method, every promising lead was considered, experimentally screened and critically evaluated as soon as it became known. But invariably the results were disappointing and lacking in uniformity.
