Vitamin D and COVID – Prevent 90% of Deaths

Vitamin D and COVID – Prevent 90% of Deaths

Research reveals that for years science has known that vitamin D deficiency promotes acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Even before COVID hit the scene.

A recent publication states that 90% of COVID deaths could be prevented if vitamin D deficiency was addressed.

Over 1 billion people worldwide are vitamin D deficient.

COVID Cytokine Storm – Prevention with Vitamins?

COVID Cytokine Storm – Prevention with Vitamins?

COVID-19 is caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. The elderly are the main age group at risk for severe course of infection, cytokine storm, and death.

Early in the pandemic, the CDC and many mainstream media outlets claimed that vitamins and nutrition were useless in prevention and recovery from COVID. As I said then, they were wrong. They were the purveyors of “false information”.

Science continues to come out and support what years of science has already shown, vitamins, nutrition, and many other lifestyle factors play key roles in the anti-viral immune response and overall immune health.

Beating COVID with Anti-Viral Nutrition

Beating COVID with Anti-Viral Nutrition

If you fear COVID, the most important thing to do is to clean up your diet and nutrition. By doing so, you optimize your immune system, specifically the anti-viral capacity.

Despite the mainstream media’s chronic refusal to admit that nutrition and many vitamins are key to immune health, the research cannot be denied. If you strip away all financial interests, the best defense is a healthy lifestyle, which includes healthy nutrition.

Beating Burnout – Interview w/Dr. Lara Salyer

Beating Burnout – Interview w/Dr. Lara Salyer

There is a sparkly creative muse inside each of us. As children, everything is perfect and whole in our curious, open eyes. Creativity is our effortless language. We play games and explore our world with delight. We build hospitals for teddy bears and perform rock concerts in our bedrooms. We design blueprints for castles and draw maps for hidden treasures. Lara held mini-funerals for her Barbies in her grandfather’s funeral home. In the journey to adulthood, our innate brilliance is insidiously tarnished by responsibilities to be dutiful partners, coworkers, friends, and citizens. In the path of a heart-centered physician, our originality is oppressed further, underneath rigorous schooling, sleepless nights, and a decaying healthcare system that values efficiency over humanity.

We are promised it will get better, only to emerge from another week in our career of factory medicine, feeling broken and battered. We wonder what happened to the Hippocratic Oath: “I will remember that there is art to medicine as well as science, and that warmth, sympathy, and understanding may outweigh the surgeon’s knife or the chemist’s drug.” We tell ourselves to be grateful. Don’t complain. This is how it is. We hide our disappointment in sips of wine, yoga classes, and mandated “resiliency” seminars. We further the disconnect from our wise intuition and silence our creative voice as we recall the blood, sweat, and tears we’ve poured into this choice to become a physician. We don’t see any other choice.

What if there comes a day when blood is exactly what awakens you of the possibility of an alternate life? What if you’re given the gift of a near-death experience that forces your eyes wide open to the beauty of a creative life again?

This is the story of Lara Salyer, a burned-out, family doctor mom in the rural Midwest who rediscovered her dormant creativity and saved her career. Growing up as a granddaughter of a mortician may have prepared her with a macabre sense of humor and extravagant Halloween decorations, but it didn’t brace her for her own near-death experience. Just when she wanted to quit medicine entirely, this experience inspired her grassroots mission to incorporate art and creativity back into medical care. 

Candid and sassy, expressive and fearless, Right Brain Rescue is both a touching memoir and a call to action for all of us to color outside the lines and reinvent life on our own terms. This is a story of how one woman did everything “right” to enjoy a triumphant career as a family physician, but crumbled under the same pressure as many others in conventional “factory medicine”—the pressure to flip patients every fifteen minutes like burgers on a grill. The same pressure that has led to harrowing rates of burnout and suicide.

This is the story of a physician who lived life with blinders on, navigating the increasing demands of being “doctor mom.” It reveals that grit and diligent hard work do not protect you against the heartache of burnout, and the best decisions are not made with logic or reason, but right-brain instinct. It’s a story about bravely walking away from a stable, profitable career into a blank canvas of the unknown in order to live a fully authentic and awake life. This is not a self-help book or a how-to book, but you might recognize some self and help in these pages. Right Brain Rescue is a literary “creativity prescription” that will inspire us to think differently about how we use our energy, explore our values, and care for our bodies and minds so we can become the most sparkly version of ourselves. 

Functional medicine extends lifespan and quality of life by compressing morbidity

Functional medicine extends lifespan and quality of life by compressing morbidity

Why do people seek out proactive or preventative health strategies?

Is it to deal with acute issues or chronic issues?

Is it to improve quality of life today or for the future?

Is it to delay death?

Yes.

Proactive/Preventive strategies like the Functional Medicine paradigm achieve all of these.

How?

By compressing morbidity. A concept that was first put forth in 1980.
