I recently had a patient who went through a very traumatic experience.  They have not given permission to discuss this, so I will keep names and gender secret. They were in a hot yoga class for 90 minutes (I have done these in the past, very intense).  So in this 90 minute session, they sweat, a lot.  And drank water, a lot.  Now for most people, at most times, this is not going to be a bad idea.  But there can be a number of mild factors that come into play that could make this a bad idea.  Why?  Because […]

I have a 19th month old son named Aiden who has been under Dr. Eric’s care since he was 3 days old.  While we’ve never given him medication or vaccinations, we still take him to his well check appointments.  At our 15 month well check, they tested his blood and found that his hemoglobin level was low.  The pediatrician suggested an iron supplement and wrote a prescription for it because she thought his hemoglobin level was too low to simply add iron-rich foods to his diet.   Although they gave me a list of iron-rich foods, Aiden’s diet already consisted of […]

It is likely that close to 99% of us have some level of destructive adaptation happening in our bodies by the time we are 15 years old (my theory only).  This means we have something that is no longer on the “normal” path, and thus that thing is now becoming more and more upset from that normal path.  The question why and how to best control this adaptation is what I want to discuss. First however, lets look at a more complete description of Destructive Adaptation?  Basically, as the name suggests, it is adaptation of your body to a stress […]

Tuesday, April 03, 2012 by: Ethan A. Huff, staff writer for Natural News (NaturalNews) The market for antidepressant drugs is quickly drying up as patents on long-time blockbusters like Lexapro, owned by Forest Laboratories, and Seroquel, owned by AstraZeneca, continue to expire. And because they are unable to develop new multi-billion-dollar blockbuster drugs to take their places, many drug manufacturers are ditching the antidepressant business altogether, especially as studies continue to emerge showing that antidepressants are largely useless and cause more harm than good. A recent Reuters report appears to bemoan the fact that development of a new antidepressant drug […]

So we are in the Suero Challenge for many of you, and some are getting ready to get started.  30 days of healthy cellular detox.  Build a healthier intestine, and utilize the cultured whey to drive your cellular metabolism.  This will improve your energy (if you have deficiencies in mineral content), it will improve your digestion (if you have deficiencies in healthy bacteria – this includes just about all of us), it will improve your energy systems (if you have low levels of cultured foods in your diet already), and it will help stabilize your blood sugar (if your leptin […]

More on Detox. Autism is a disease of toxicity. Some have blamed vaccines, others have blamed digestive tract toxins, others have looked at arsenic. In the end, I believe the strongest evidence points to a collection of all of these things. The big question that I am left with, is why is it so predominantly effecting boys over girls. It might be part of the difference in detoxification methods of each (subtle), it might be in the fat buffering (girls have more fat than boys). Regardless, this is a problem, and toxicity is at the root.

Just a quick note for everyone.  Dr. Eric separated his left shoulder today in a Mountain Biking fall.  He will be in adjusting, but will be limited, so he’ll be relying on help with anything that is required that he cannot accomplish himself.  Thank you for your patience and understanding.

All Month we are talking DETOX, and so is Maximized Living, like this ARTICLE published this week. If you have not yet read about the challenges, we have people on the Suero-Challenge (some have started), the Daily Detox, the Healing Diet (Max Nutrition Advanced Plan), and I have a few doing the opti-cleanse intestinal repair.

The differences are significant, but all are focused on preparing you for lifelong improved detoxification through support of your body’s ability to self detoxify. Not just to make you go to the bathroom more (really has little to do with detox), but to truly support your body’s production of glutathione, and to increase the cellular resistance of the intestinal lining as well as the improved growwth of strong probiotic colonies.

I was in small group this evening, and a question was asked in the study we are doing, “How do you want to be known?” I considered this question quite a bit, and though I really want to be known as the guy who is changing the way the world views health, I also want to be remembered as the guy who has sought and followed the will of God in my life.

I realized that I would have my kids think of me as that, more than the guy who fought against the marketing …

You should read this article’s follow up at the author’s site - http://autismroadtorecovery.blogspot.com/ This post is from a friend.  She was in my typing class in some odd grade before boys new how to talk to girls, and girls spent more time looking pretty than working on typing.  She became a good friend of my wife (then girlfriend of course) and they roomed together for a couple years at college.  She has a daughter who she has worked hard to bring along the autism spectrum to a place of very functional autism right now.  All three of her children have had […]
