Wash Post: No, doctors did not say an 11 mo. old died of a marijuana overdose

Wash Post: No, doctors did not say an 11 mo. old died of a marijuana overdose

Posted by | Nov 19, 2017 |

Last week a report came out about the death of an 11-month old after exposure to cannabis. The child’s death prompted headlines about “the first marijuana overdose death” ever and has had tongues wagging. However, that’s not exactly what the doctors meant. (Isn’t the news cycle interesting? This report is from the August edition of the journal Clinical Practice and Cases in Emergency Medicine- not only is this not new news, this journal isn’t a scientific study or research report.) “We are absolutely not saying that marijuana killed that child,” said Thomas Nappe, an author of the report who is now the...

ABC: Dog Whisperer Cesar Millan wakes in psych ward after failed suicide. Now has new leash on life

Posted by | Nov 17, 2017 | , ,

When I say Cesar Millan, most of you will immediately recall his show, “The Dog Whisperer.” And while yes, at points in his life he has been the world’s most famous dog trainer and the CEO of CMI (estimated to become a $100 million business), it hasn’t always been like that. At the beginning of 2010, Daddy, Milan’s pit bull and companion, who Millan called his “mentor,” died of cancer. Shortly after that, his wife of 16 years- Ilusion- filed for divorce. As if things weren’t bad enough, around that same time, Millan “discovered that some bad business deals left...

New guidelines redefine high blood pressure, adding another 14 percent of Americans to unhealthy level

New guidelines redefine high blood pressure, adding another 14 percent of Americans to unhealthy level

Posted by | Nov 17, 2017 | , ,

According to new guidelines issued by the American Heart Association, a blood pressure reading of 120/80 is no longer the gold standard. In fact, the AMA is warning that 120/80 is a warning sign of potential problems in the future.1 While Shawnee Mission Medical Center cardiologist Andrew Waters doesn’t want us to panic about the new guidelines, it’s time to take elevated blood pressure readings much more seriously. High blood pressure or hypertension previously had a danger line of 140/90; it was at those levels that doctors would stress lifestyle changes and put people on medication. However, 14 years ago,...

Florida threatens holistic health coach with fines, jail for giving diet tips

Florida threatens holistic health coach with fines, jail for giving diet tips

Posted by | Nov 17, 2017 | , ,

It appears the State of Florida has far too much time on its hands (or the governor is directing them to keep them off his corrupt trail); they have been threatening Heather Kokesch Del Castillo of Fort Walton Beach with A YEAR IN JAIL unless she stops telling people what to eat. 1 Del Castillo isn’t going up to total strangers and telling them what they should and should not eat. No, she is consulting with people about dietary and nutritional advice, mostly over Skype and Google hangouts, for a fee. This is her job. However, although she’s a licensed...

Why intact grains are even better than whole grains

Why intact grains are even better than whole grains

Posted by | Nov 17, 2017 | ,

Written By Michael Greger M.D. FACLM  Fruits and vegetables are the most nutrient-dense foods on the planet, and dark green leafy vegetables lead the pack. Each of the top five so-called powerhouse fruits and vegetables were greens. If we blend them up in a smoothie (or soup or sauce), we’re taking the food with the most nutrition and breaking all the cells to dump that nutrition into our bloodstream. Chewing is good, but blending is better in terms of digestive efficiency and nutrient absorption. But if we take in all that nutrition and none makes it down to our colon might we be starving our microbial...
