Hello Optimal Health Seekers I’m inviting you to join me in a multi-community cleanse between Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays (and all the other holidays during this season that offer opportunities to indulge). Some may think “Life is short and therefore…. I’ll eat and drink whatever I please.” Others may have come to the conclusion that eating less and basically swearing off alcohol as we age makes for a better day, a happier belly and a more functional brain. Either way, it’s good to have options. Let’s meet in person for a pre-cleanse strategy session from noon to 1 PM Saturday December 2 at the Heritage Cafe downtown. I’ll get there early to try to get the sofa area! If you choose to help yourself stay lean and clean, let’s do another round of 5 days of ProLon fast-mimicking diet, followed by 5 days of Jamie Troxel’s delicious raw food service. Day One of ProLon will start for me on Thursday December 7 and go through Monday December 11. This will segue nicely into Jamie’s 5-day offering Dec 12-16. You can...

Lately I have enjoyed a mini cleanse developed over 25+ years by Dr. Valter Longo. It’s a 5-day program that allows for a fasted state (ketosis, autophagy) without having to go without food, called ProLon (as in prolong your life, and a tribute to founder Dr. Longo). Water only fasting for more than a day, which I rarely recommend, basically requires resting quietly in a cave. For 10 days this June I’ve combined this 5-day fasting-mimicking diet with a kit available through my website here: https://prolonfmd.com/products/prolon-professionals followed by Jamie Troxel’s yummy raw food cleanse — also a 5 day program. If you’d like to join the group, the dates will be June 14-23. Please call Jamie directly at (907) 209-8293 to arrange for pick up and payment. This will be a splendid treat and gift to yourself — no thinking about food for 10 days because everything you need will be provided. Very doable. And the benefits will be immediate and lasting. Email me at to get on the list for the group get-togethers — likely Saturday(s) at 4...

Greetings Optimal Health Seekers! I have been thinking about this year’s spring cleanse for several weeks. Maybe call it rebooting an excellent lifestyle or perhaps you can relate to wanting to take a closer look at day-to-day health habits. You don’t have to go anywhere for this personal retreat. But you can easily take it on the road if you have travel plans that can finally hatch! What I have to offer is modifiable, and has 3 basic levels of commitment — per your evaluation of need for fine-tuning your health.
I will be offering TeleMedicine in April as soon as my state license to do so is approved. We will be using the HIPAA compliant doxy.me platform If exposed, how long am I contagious? https://www.sciencenews.org/article/coronavirus-most-contagious-before-during-first-week-symptoms 1. Even seriously ill people are likely no longer contagious after 10 days of symptoms – even if they are still really sick. C-19 RNA still can be swabbed, but not the whole virus. Less ill people are likely no longer contagious much sooner. 2. C-19 colonizes at 1000 times more virus particles than SARS, producing thousands or millions of viruses in the nose and throat. We can also glean useful information from this article to figure out a creative solution for prevention or reducing spread of the virus. Suppose we could kill the virus in the nose and throat before it became established? We could try, right? Consider making an antiviral nose and throat spray using some of the herbs we are familiar with that are shown to have anti-corona virus activity: astragalus, licorice, elderberry, eupatorium. Mixing one or some of the tinctures with...
In response to NYTimes columnist David Leonhardt published March 10, 2020 about 7 steps to minimize risk of spreading corona virus (COVID-10), who asked “Did I miss anything?” March 11, 2020 Hi Mr Leonhardt Thanks for asking. I have been a primary care doc for nearly 30 years (in Juneau Alaska). Did you know that our endogenous anti-viral is FEVER? https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rspb.2013.2570?fbclid=IwAR2fUpjtOWW2nbeegsqK535uLj0ywwdtzq0EgonfRfPWTghmfKij8gFldVc& Also https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2951171/?fbclid=IwAR2WTSgftKKaqiz685EtWNoua_OC2kcQ-GK80IabyD7ovTLpyZ8M9_C1vIc#__sec14title Humans capable of mounting an appropriate immune response develop a fever when exposed to viral infections. Viruses are tiny, as you know, and do their dirty work inside cells. As opposed to bacteria, which are much larger and infect the space outside our cells, typically producing snot and phlegm and the like (mucus mixed with spent white blood cells). The fact that the virus may abate with warmer weather has gotten some airplay but the deeper message is not getting across: viruses dislike heat. Most viruses cannot survive in temperatures above say 103 degrees F. I have instructed all my patients, besides assiduous prolonged hand washing and keeping fingers away from the “danger triangle” of eyes, nose...

check out Salt and Soil in Juneau: https://www.saltandsoilmarketplace.com/ Our bodies are literally a walking, talking rainforest. The “ecology” of our trillion or so human cells, and the ten-fold greater number of bacteria (and 100-fold greater number of viruses) that co-exist within us all is deeply informed by our local surroundings – our geography. The soil in SE Alaska was built up over thousands of years. It is perfectly adapted to this environment. When we eat food that was grown in local soil we too become better adapted to our local environment.
