Did traffic fatalities increase or decrease after cannabis legalization? Is cannabis-impaired driving a public health and safety concern? Well, the number of tickets for cannabis-impaired driving went up in Washington State after legalization, as did the proportion of drivers in fatal car crashes in Colorado who tested positive for marijuana use. But, in both cases, […]

Obesity isn’t new, but the obesity epidemic is. We went from a few corpulent queens and kings, like Henry VIII and Louis VI (known as Louis le Gros, or “Louis the Fat”), to a pandemic of obesity, now considered to be perhaps the direst and most poorly contained public health threat of our time. Today,

We had the pleasure of talking with Bill Muir about his work in the military and as a Registered Nurse, food access, his book, and Veterans Day.

A few times a day, drink two cups of cold water on an empty stomach for weight loss. After drinking two cups (half a liter) of water, you can get a surge of the adrenal hormone noradrenaline in your bloodstream, as if you had just smoked a few cigarettes or had a few cups of

If you drink two cups of water, the adrenal hormone noradrenaline can surge in your bloodstream, similar to the response of smoking a few cigarettes or having a few cups of coffee. Given the 60 percent surge in noradrenaline within minutes of drinking just two cups of water, as shown in the graph below and

Drinking water can be a safe, simple, and effective way to prevent yourself from fainting. Within three minutes of drinking a few cups of water (12 mL/kg of body weight), the level of the adrenal gland hormone noradrenaline in our bloodstream can shoot up by 60 percent, as you can see in the graph below

The diving reflex shows that it’s possible to have selective adrenal hormone effects. Thermogenic drugs like DNP can cause people to overheat to death; they can increase resting metabolic rates by 300 percent or more. A more physiological spread would range about ten times less, from a 30 percent slower metabolism in people with an

Identical twins don’t just share DNA; they also share a uterus. Might that help account for some of their metabolic similarities? “Fetal overnutrition, evidenced by large infant birth weight for gestational age, is a strong predictor of obesity in childhood and later life.” Could it be that you are what your mom ate? A dramatic

Is it possible to reverse type 1 diabetes if caught early enough? The International Journal of Disease Reversal and Prevention has already had its share of miraculous disease reversals with a plant-based diet. For instance, one patient began following a whole food, plant-based diet after having two heart attacks in two months. Within months, he

Green smoothies are put to the test for the autoimmune disease lupus. There are dozens and dozens of journals I try to stay on top of every month, and one I always anticipate is The International Journal of Disease Reversal and Prevention, a peer-reviewed medical “journal created to document the science of nutrition and lifestyle
