Your baby's digestive system isn't just smaller—it's differently vulnerable. Here's what the research on age-windows, metabolic readiness, and heavy metal susceptibility means for feeding your infant.
Necrotizing enterocolitis kills more preterm infants than any other gastrointestinal emergency. I believe dietary nickel is a catalytic driver, and I can show you the mechanism.
Sugar and carbohydrate intake have been declining since the late 1990s. Obesity is still rising. Lab rats on controlled diets are getting fatter. So are pets. Something systemic is happening and I don't think it's sugar.
The first Microbiome Medicine Roundtable took a disease that had been studied for decades through fragmented lenses and produced a unified framework, a risk stratification model, a novel therapeutic hypothesis, and a published journal issue. Here's how it happened.
A step-by-step demonstration of how the Microbiome Signature Triangulation Method generates and validates intervention hypotheses for endometriosis. From metallomic signature through nutritional immunity, pathogenic selection, vulnerability mapping, and STOP analysis.
Heavy metal contamination represents one of the most persistent global environmental health challenges, affecting human, animal, and ecosystem health worldwide 1. For decades, scientists have documen...
import { Link } from "@/components/Link"; import { ExternalLink } from "@/components/ExternalLink"; A few years ago, I noticed something unusual in our research: redheads appeared to have different p...
Exploring MC1R agonism as a metallomics-informed approach to protecting neurons from iron-driven damage in Parkinson's disease.
Why fragmented biomedical observations need a structured method to become coherent disease models and actionable therapeutics.
Combining an antifungal drug with a natural immune protein solves what single-pathogen thinking cannot—FIP-related gum disease in cats.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8bZUpnxd92U Beyond Protocols: A Misunderstood Paradigm Shift in Microbiome Research At the recent 11th Beneficial Microbes Conference, one presentation in particular sp
Chronic kidney disease drives a signature microbiome shift—one we can now identify, understand, and potentially reverse through targeted intervention. Here's what the bacteria tell us about kidney health.
In an era dominated by nutritional debates and fad diets, one crucial element often gets overlooked: dietary fiber. Far from being a monolithic substance, fiber encompasses a diverse array of compound
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a complex autoimmune disorder characterized by demyelination and neurodegeneration in the central nervous system. While genetic, environmental, and immunological factors hav

Heavy metals in infant foods are a hidden public health threat. I've developed a certification framework that combines science, law, and commerce to protect babies while keeping food companies sustainable.
From 1960 to 2025, nitrogen and phosphate fertilizers silently accumulated nickel, cadmium, and lead in agricultural soils. Here's why this 65-year trend matters for what you eat.
Unstructured public testing of food brands for heavy metals feels like accountability. But it suppresses data sharing, concentrates harm on innocent brands, and leaves upstream contamination untouched.
Introduction The discourse surrounding ivermectin’s potential role in COVID-19 treatment has been fraught with polarization and oversimplification. Much of the debate stems from an entrenched mechanis
Causal reductionism is the interpretive or methodological fallacy of distilling multifaceted, dynamic phenomena into overly simplistic, single-cause explanations, often by isolating variables while di
The ongoing discourse on obesity's root causes—whether driven by calories in versus calories out (CICO) or the carbohydrate-insulin model—reached a notable peak in the 2019 Joe Rogan Experience podcas
In an era where nutrient fortification and supplementation are commonplace, it's worth pausing to consider the evolutionary dance between our bodies and invading pathogens. Nutritional immunity—the ho
In the realm of modern medicine, the temptation to simplify complex biological signals into straightforward interventions is ever-present. This approach, known as causal reductionism, can lead to unin

In 2009 I called Paleo. In 2020 I told Fred Hart that Pepsi would put prebiotics on their cans. He called me 'the oracle' when it happened. Here's what I see coming. I'm always too early on timing. I've never been wrong about direction.
I have sold rocks door to door, roofed houses, lasered a cancerous polyp off someone's esophagus at 13, argued with painters about color theory, reversed kidney failure in a cat with gum arabic, and stood in front of 150 PhDs as the only person in the room without a doctorate. Every one of those things made the next one possible.
Every sanctuary I know runs on the same model: ask people for money, hope they give it, stretch it as far as possible, repeat. I run a sanctuary. I know the math. And I know that model is broken in a way that more donations cannot fix.
For the past eighty years, scientists have used the particle accelerator to find out more about these units of matter. The basic mechanism of the accelerator has not changed over its history. A charge
The Great Pyramid of Giza stands as one of humanity's most enduring enigmas, often presented in educational contexts as a monumental tomb for Pharaoh Khufu. However, this interpretation, rooted in 19t
