This post examines Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS), a condition stemming from genetic vulnerabilities in the HLA-DR genes that affect about 24% of the population, impairing the elimination of biotoxins from bacteria and mold, and leading to persistent inflammation and health issues. Key symptoms of CIRS include fatigue, cognitive difficulties, joint pain, mood instability, and digestive disturbances. I'll highlight how CIRS can remain undetected even when individuals like Mikhaila Fuller (previously Peterson) experience significant relief from strict elimination diets like the Lion Diet, which closely resembles the Carnivore diet. Emphasizing the research on CIRS and the Shoemaker Protocol as a targeted treatment, this discussion aims to shed light on the syndrome's diagnostic challenges and the path to comprehensive healing, offering insights for those suspecting underlying biotoxin-related problems.
Read MoreImagine dedicating your life to peak health—two hours daily of intense workouts, a whole-foods diet, perfect sleep, and sky-high vitamin D levels—only to be labeled a health danger to society. The current easing of COVID vaccination mandates has rekindled controversy, and I want to share my perspective. At 60, I faced ostracism, lost clients, and was barred from seeing my daughter in New York City, all because I trusted my robust immune system over a one-size-fits-all mandate. My story exposes the clash between personal health choices and public health dogma, revealing how a disciplined lifestyle was dismissed in favor of a vaccine narrative that ignored my low risk. Read on to discover how I navigated this polarizing era, why I stood firm, and what it reveals about autonomy, judgment, and the future of public health.
Read MoreMedical researchers have known for some time that we cannot always assume that our bodies always use vitamin D efficiently. About 25% of the population do not respond to standard doses of vitamin D3 supplementation. Many of them have healthy levels of vitamin D. A new condition has been identified called vitamin D resistance. Only a fraction are genetic in origin. Most cases are acquired during life. Some of the causes are known. This blog discusses the causes and the treatment options.
Read MoreWhen tested, masks actually look very effective. The website called Smartairfilters.com is a treasure trove of information about air filtration systems and masks. They clearly show the effectiveness of masks, even the cloth home-made ones. Some of the better masks filter out 99.7 percent of all particles. With such convincing results, why do masks seem to be failing us? The paper entitled Masks Don't Work: A Review of Science Relevant to COVID-19 Social Policy may have the answer. They list numerous studies that all conclude that masks don't protect against contracting a whole host of illnesses. We will find out why in this post.
