The medical buzz word is “evidence-based”. Freely translated, that means science has supposedly verified whatever practice is being discussed. Sounds good, right? Unfortunately, “evidence” is not some unequivocal black and white fact etched in stone tablets. As it turns out, what constitutes “acceptable” evidence is in the eye of the beholder. The variables listed below […]
On last week’s radio show, my guest was Stephanie Seneff, PhD, a Senior Research Scientist at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). She gave us a wakeup call about the health risks from genetically modified foods and the Roundup-type weed killers that are now widely used even on non-GMO crops. There are many resources on her […]
On the show last Saturday, we spent the last half talking about the importance of sleep and natural ideas for getting restorative rest. I briefly mentioned the side effects of medications for sleep and said that I’d put more information in the newsletter this week. Over the counter. There are side effects listed for all […]
Photo from NY Times See ways to help at the bottom of the page. The things below came to Bill Sardi’s mind because of the disaster in Houston. I want to do a show soon on preparedness. Those currently most affected probably have no way to access this information, but just in case you are […]
My trip down memory lane in preparation for our 20th anniversary radio show reminded me of concepts that we covered long ago and that are worth a second look. I’m listing older shows in part to demonstrate that what may seem like brand new information today might have been available to our listeners a decade […]
As we celebrated Healthy by Nature’s 20th Anniversary show last week, I hoped to pack in more content than the hour would allow. When reality sank in, I promised to follow up this week with some of the clips (in bold) and other information that we didn’t get to. As I scoured the archives and converted […]
As we all know, there has been long standing concern and confusion over the actual vs supposed health risk from high levels of cholesterol in the blood. Recently, it has been suggested that virtually all older persons should be on statin cholesterol-lowering drugs. (Which by the way are said to damage stem cells.) I worry […]
Last week I said that I might start the show by asking about some of the recent studies Bill Sardi has called to my attention. Well, that didn’t happen because the phone lines filled up so fast. (Newsletter subscribers know what’s coming and can be at the head of the line.) Here at least are […]
Maybe all our mothers used this question: “If all your friends jumped off a bridge, would you do that?” (Well, in my case that was before bungee jumping or I might have had a sassy comeback.) Moms are right. Just because nearly everyone is doing something, doesn’t mean it is smart. Below are a few […]
Obviously, an occasional sandwich won’t kill you (unless you are deathly allergic to an ingredient). However, a steady diet of bread, rolls, buns, tortillas, crackers, cereal, cookies, pancakes, pastries, pretzels, waffles, cakes, biscuits, pizza crust, donuts, toaster pastries, muffins, bagels and the like might speed you toward poor health. Most cultures in the world […]
