A Fungus Among Us: The Real Cause of MS?

There’s a fungus among us. In fact, there are many. And where there are fungi, there are fungal toxins, known as mycotoxins. These, my friends, are – according to David Holland, MD – public enemy #1 in the battle against multiple sclerosis. The prime suspect. The one to blame for this MesS. Dr. Holland’s theory makes more sense to me and fits with the evidence I’ve gathered from my own personal experience more than anything else I’ve heard. Dr. Holland, with co-author Doug Kaufmann, have written two books: The Fungus Link and The Fungus...

Yarrow or Hemlock? Which Will You Choose?

It’s Thursday night and I’m sitting on the couch with my ex-husband, Mark, watching Man Vs. Wild on Netflix and drinking a glass of white wine. There are many things wrong with this picture. 1. I’m hanging out with my ex-husband. But that can be explained by the fact that he’s in town visiting our daughter and we’ve actually become dear friends. 2. Bear Grylls, the star of Man Vs. Wild, is somewhere in the African desert, squeezing drops of water from elephant dung into his mouth. I get that his choices are either...

Wanna Feel Well? Eat the Sun.

“I’ve never drawn in my life,” said my friend Shay. “I don’t know where this is coming from but it feels amazing.” Shay was telling me about her recent transition to a raw food diet and how she suddenly started creating dozens of drawings/watercolor every day. “And, all my health issues are clearing up too. I’ve never felt so good.” “That’s what happens when you eat the sun,” I said. “You’re increasing the light energy in your body. Biophotons, baby, it’s all about the biophotons.” Biophotons are the smallest physical units of light. Our...

Do You Have the Discipline to Eat For Recovery? (AKA Leave That Bloody Crevice Alone!)

You know that web-like crevice between your thumb and index finger? Well I recently got a blister there from sweeping. (Apparently, on the rare occasions when I sweep, I do so with vigor.) So I had this blister, and I popped it so then I had a big cut. And what I discovered is that I use that crevice between my thumb and index finger all the time! Whenever I grab my purse to throw it over my shoulder, for example, it hits that crevice and the cut starts bleeding. Then it starts to...

Even Our Healthy Food is Unhealthy!

A few days ago I was at Wal-Mart picking up a prescription for my daughter. I was waiting in line and overheard the woman in front of me asking the pharmacist about alternatives to regular milk. She said she had been having some digestive problems and she heard that it could be the dairy and that she should try a dairy-free diet. I usually keep to myself in public, but the pharmacist didn’t seem to know much beyond soy milk, which is a known endocrine disruptor (and causes flatulence!). So I felt compelled to...

Just Say No to Emotional Eating!

As many of you know, I was in New York this past week on work/vacation and I’ve been going through some serious OUCH! material with the whole “wow I just realized my ex-boyfriend is not who I thought he was” brouhaha. Now, before I continue, please play along with me in this quick one-question quiz: Q: What do vacations and heartbreak/severe disillusionment have in common? A: Food. Lots of it. Indulging in said food. Celebrating time off and simultaneously drowning sorrows in said food. Lots of food. Have I mentioned the quantity of the...

Fatigue and Balance and Diet, Oh My!

A couple days ago I sent out an email asking all of you what the top three biggest problems are in your life right now that you most want solved. Well first I’d like to thank everyone who responded.

9 Steps to Building Your Rock Star Medical Team & Healing Your Multiple Sclerosis

Multiple sclerosis is no joke. It’s not the common cold that’ll just go away on its own or a sore throat that you can take some antibiotics for and be done with it. Nope. MS is a game changer, and as such, it requires a game plan. MS is still a mystery to conventional medicine. They don’t know what causes it and they don’t know how to cure it. The best they can offer is to carefully track the progress of the disease with MRIs and physical exams, and to manage the symptoms and...
