Proverbs 15:28 ESV The heart of the righteous ponders how to answer, but the mouth of the wicked pours out evil things. [https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=proverbs+15%3A28&version=ESV]   The fruit of a man is his insignia, his flag. Just as a pirate sloop is known by its skull-and-crossbones, just as a British ship-of-the-line is known by its Union Jack, just as an American frigate is known by its Stars and Bars, so we are known by what we do. Among all our doing, though, our speech is intensely prominent. Words are the first moral attribute we learn about most people, afte ..read more

Mold Guide Series Part 14 For those not aware of our Mold Symptom Therapy Guide website, let this “Rewriting Mold” series serve as a reminder of both what we offer our patients and what we offer the general public in terms of understanding mold toxicity illness.  Over the coming weeks, I will be reviewing and reposting sections of our Mold Symptoms Therapy website one or two at a time.  It has been over 3 years since I first wrote this 30 plus page guide and posted it online.  A few things have changed since 2020 (yes, an understatement), but the basic principles emphasized in 2 ..read more

We live in a vaccination world, a world where many accept vaccines like they accept a blue sky.  Many, therefore, are looking at ways to encourage more and more vaccinations.  On one end, some want to create easier ways to get vaccines, easier than getting a needle shoved into your (or your child’s) arm.  On the other end, in the policy realm, more and more  we hear talk about mandating vaccines.  These two studies together address these two sides of the problem and are helpful whether you are for or against the world of vaccines. In the first, researchers tested out m ..read more

Proverbs 15:27 ESV Whoever is greedy for unjust gain troubles his own household, but he who hates bribes will live. [https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=proverbs+15%3A27&version=ESV]   Evildoing starts at home. In fact, evildoing starts evil closer, in the heart. We have a tendency to tell ourselves we can just do this slightly wrong thing over here and not let it leak over into our other business. We can slack off over here, take that slightly dubious payment over there, and come back home without ever letting that stuff touch the rest of our lives, no matter how the gu ..read more

First, forgive me for using a little sarcasm to get your attention.  In reality, we will probably never get a study on the effects of taking multiple supplements.  The field of cancer therapy is probably the only time medicine produces study trials with multiple therapies since single therapies rarely work in cancer.  For supplements and most medicines, we only get studies on how 1 (at most 2 or 3) therapies work to make someone healthier or not.  While this seems so “anti-Evidence based medicine”, it is a reality of medical science that studies looking at the effects of 5 ..read more

We live in a world of metaphorical weeds, nuisances that grow in our yards and in our bodies, causing problems.  Outside, we may chase dandelion seeds that seem impossible to eradicate when you aren’t willing to poison your family with weed killers.  Inside our bodies, we turn to antibiotics to rid ourselves of pneumonias, UTI’s, and more but at this level antibiotics are just not enough.  Research from 2021 reminds us of the critical role our immune system plays in full recovery that must go beyond just choosing the right antibiotic. Living in a fallen world of weeds and nasty ..read more

Proverbs 15:26 ESV The thoughts of the wicked are an abomination to the Lord, but gracious words are pure. [https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=proverbs+15%3A26&version=ESV]   We have an unconscious way of assuming that, at the end of the day, what goes on inside us is ours alone. I can be angry or sad or mad or covetous, and as long as I don’t tell anybody, nobody knows. It affects only me, and only I care. That’s a dangerous assumption even in the most mundane way. Things on the inside do have a way of coming to the outside somehow, even fi we don’t notice it happening. The ..read more

Last month we talked about why it is beneficial to eat seasonally. This month will be an extension of that as I am discuss the importance of variety in your diet. Oftentimes when we are trying to get to root causes of our health issues, we find ourselves cutting out multiple foods, and even whole food groups. Paleo, Whole 30, AIP, Keto, Carnivore, Low Histamine, etc.- the information out there is exhausting and overwhelming and leaves us feeling like all we can consume is a glass of water. My first point of advice would be: Speak to a trusted healthcare practitioner! It can be daunting doing a ..read more

Proverbs 15:25 ESV The Lord tears down the house of the proud but maintains the widow’s boundaries. [https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=proverbs+15%3A25&version=ESV]   Powerlessness is a terrifying thing. When “the enemy comes in a’roaring like a flood, coveting the kingdom, and hungering for blood,” we generally feel quite powerless. What are we against the culture’s overwhelming depravity? What are we against the church’s sloth? What are we against our world’s grinding heel? What are we, even without all these dangers, against our own sinful hearts, longing for that which ..read more
