The Cold Truth About Ice & Inflammation  SIERRA GONCHAROFF, ND  The use of ice for acute musculoskeletal injuries has been popular for decades since Gabe Mirkin, MD coined the RICE (rest, ice, compression, elevation) protocol in 1978 in his best-selling The Sports Medicine Book.1 For decades, this protocol has been thoroughly indoctrinated into the healthcare system, despite a lack of adequate research to support its efficacy. In recent years, health practitioners have started questioning the RICE protocol. Recent research indicates that using ice for acute injury may delay heali ..read more

LAUREN TESSIER, ND  Healthcare accessibility and delivery is an important issue in our current conversation. The disparities between cohorts and their healthcare utilization have been deeply studied; various minority groups suffer at the hand of poor healthcare delivery; of this there is no debate.1,2 To add an extra layer of complication, the male sex, which accounts for approximately 50.4% of the global population,3 fail to seek care as often as the female sex.4 Researchers postulate that projected societal concepts of masculine roles and ide ..read more

Treating Chronic Pain: Reasons to Use a Top-Down System

Naturopathic Perspective  MARK HEISIG, ND  Pain is an interesting phenomenon within the brain and as a part of the human experience. And it’s important to emphasize the human “experience” component, because pain is just that – an experience. This is what makes it perplexing clinically; there is no such thing as a “purely painful” stimulus. What causes me pain in any given scenario may not cause you pain in that same scenario.1    For example, think about the soldier who’s been hit by explosively hot shrapnel, yet continues to run, move, and perform  ..read more

Education David J. Schleich, PhD What distinguishes the medicine of the past twenty-five years is not that its practitioners are equipped with an arsenal of antibiotics and antiseptics, but that they are furnished with a comprehensive and unprecedented understanding of what the healthy body is and how it survives and protects itself.  – Jonathan Miller, 1978 “But it’s no use now,” thought poor Alice, “to pretend to be two people! Why, there’s hardly enough of me left to make one respectable person!” – Lewis Carroll, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, p.6 “It’s no use going back to yesterday, be ..read more

Vis Medicatrix Naturae Marisol Teijeiro, ND Like any good legend, the story of castor oil throughout the ages is one of ebbing and flowing, but mainly one of adapting into the common medical practices of the time. From the glory years in ethnobotanical and cultural medicine to the dark ages of fascist governments, castor oil has seen it all because of its historic reach into all areas of the world. This oil has been proven, time and time again, for its effectiveness in taking care of our health – beginning with its indigenous roots in India, the Mediterranean Basin, and Eastern Africa, and the ..read more

Tolle Totum Eric Yarnell, ND, RH (AHG) The common condition benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) remains relatively poorly understood clinically. There is much room for improvement, including a long way to go beyond just providing Serenoa repens (saw palmetto) and clearing up all the misunderstanding of this herb’s role, in general. In this article, the causes of BPH will be discussed along with approaches to preventing the problem. Clinical phenotypes of BPH, once it does occur, will be discussed in detail, and the appropriate treatment for patients of different types will be presented. Prevent ..read more
