Consumer Reports is biased against supplements / magnificent magnesium

 
Healthy by Nature radio show this week

I’m very happy to say that integrative physician Gus Kotsanis, MD will be in the studio. I’ll find out what is new in his world and we’ll answer your questions on health matters. I believe his lovely wife Beverly will be with us too. She manages the practice, The Kotsanis Institute, and so can field questions about procedures and patient experiences.

I really do get tired of trying to clean up after people who spew anti-supplement rhetoric without doing their homework or without any real effort at being fair and balanced. The September 2016 issue of Consumer Reports magazine is a supplement hatchet job. I expose the smoking gun of their prejudice and right some of their wrongs. I also point out that maybe they should invest some energy in talking about magnesium.What drug can help reduce blood pressure, inflammation and cholesterol; improve depression, bone density, blood sugar control and constipation; fight migraines, muscle cramping and depression; and help normalize heart rhythms along with dozens of other benefits? Please read my newly revised article on magnesium with its updated recommendations.To read my article on Consumer Reports, click here to read this week’s blog.

 

Last Week Follow-up


LISTEN to that show in the archives.

Barbara Bergin, MD is an orthopedic surgeon from Austin, Texas. (I was delighted to learn that she often listens to Healthy by Nature. That shows how open and forward thinking she is!) Dr. Bergin’s blog and website offer a lot of great information about avoiding the need for an orthopedic surgeon! We talked about examples like her advice to not “put your pants on one leg at a time” and an initiative to encourage women to “Sit Like A Man”. Then John James, PhD joined us. He might be our first NASA scientist guest and is certainly our first NASA toxicologist. His book is A Sea of Broken Hearts: Patient Rights in a Dangerous, Profit-Driven Health Care System. He also is the founder of Patient Safety America dedicated to reducing medical errors which by the most conservative estimates are in the top 3 causes of premature death.
