Iridology: Mirror of the Soul, Perhaps, But the Iris Is Unreliable for Medical Diagnosis
The notion that the patterns of color and texture in the irises of the eyes can indicate the health or dysfunction of various organ systems, has been around for several hundred years. Unfortunately, scientific study of iridology fails to support it as an accurate method for detecting diseases. Despite the lack of evidence, the practice remains popular, particularly in Europe and the UK.

IV Nutritional Therapies: Infusions Overcome Limitations of Oral Supplementation
The intravenous use of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, essential fatty acids, and other important nutrients has a long and venerable history in American medicine. For many decades, IV nutrition has been underutilized, but a growing number of doctors are re-discovering the potential value, especially for patients with compromised digestive function who may not benefit from oral nutritional supplements.

New Probiotic Company Plans to "Share The Health" in Poor Regions
Probiotics have great potential to help people in strife-torn regions recover digestive health and nutritional status. The problem has been to develop formulations that deliver high doses of the beneficial bugs without need for refrigeration. With his new Vidazorb line and an outreach program called "Share the Health," socially-conscious entrepreneur E. Frank Hodal is meeting that challenge.

Vitamin D: New Findings, New Questions
Vitamin D deficiency has been linked with everything from psoriasis and osteoporosis to cardiovascular disease, diabetes and autoimmune diseases. But the relationships may not be as simple as we'd like to believe. Neither is the relationship between sun exposure and vitamin D production in the skin.

Vitamin D2 or D3: Which is D Best?
A wealth of studies in recent years have underscored the health threats posed by vitamin D deficiency. But considerable debate has raged over which form of the vitamin is the best for supplementation. Many clinicians believe that vitamin D3, derived from fish and other animal sources, is more potent than D2, the "vegetarian" form. But new data suggest that may not be true.

Electrodermal Testing: What It Can and Cannot Tell
Based on the idea that organ system functions are reflected in galvanic currents on the skin surface, electrodermal testing has become a very popular "alternative" diagnostic technique. Available data suggest that there are electrical currents on the skin, and one study shows that ET can, indeed, detect internal problems. But data are scant, and there's no evidence this controversial technique can identify specific causes of internal problems, as ET practitioners often claim it can.

Tackling the Most Common Nutritional Deficiencies: Part One
Many Americans are well fed but poorly nourished, thanks to a calorie rich, nutrient poor diet. This is a major driver of chronic diseases. Fortunately, it's correctable. In the first of a two-part article, Steven Masley, MD, a nutrition-centered primary care doctor, offers tips for managing the most common deficiencies, including fiber, omega-3s, vitamin D and the B vitamins.

Copper Deficiency May Underlie Osteoporosis, Anemia & Neurodegenerative Disorders
Copper seldom gets the attention lavished on other minerals like calcium and magnesium, but it is an essential factor for myelination of nerves, activation of immune system cells, synthesis of collagen and formation of hemoglobin. Copper deficiency, which is very common, may underlie anemia, osteoporosis, heart disease, and it may even mimic multiple sclerosis. Drugs that suppress stomach acid, as well as zinc and vitamin C supplements, contribute to copper deficiency.

Nutritional Therapies for Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
A unique form of hyperinsulinemia is one of the metabolic drivers of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). According to Dr. Alan Gaby, nutritional therapies aimed at normalizing insulin action and glucose metabolism can greatly benefit women with this condition, often restoring ovulation and fertility. N-acetyl cysteine, vitamin D, chromium, and a little known nutrient called pinitol are valuable allies.

Hair Analysis, Antioxidant Testing: Popular with Patients, But Are They Clinically Valid?
In their effort to get a grip on their health, many people are utilizing "alternative" diagnostic tests that claim to identify nutrient deficiencies, environmental toxins, and disease risk factors. Some of these tests are backed good science, others are not, but even the legitimate ones may not be able to provide the type of guidance that patients are seeking. In Part One of this series, Cathy Creger Rosenbaum looks at hair analysis and antioxidant testing.

Well-Oiled: A Guide to Healthy Dietary Fats
The “No Fat” approach health maintenance makes very little sense, says Dr. David Riley. Rather than focusing on eliminating fat calories, physicians should be counseling patients on how to choose and use healthy, nutritious oils like flax, olive, walnut, macadamia and avocado. A little knowledge of fatty acid science can go a long way in clearing up confusion about “good” versus “bad” fats. Plus, Regulators Push to Ban the Trans.

"Bad Cholesterol:" Good Marketing, But Is It Good Medicine?
The cholesterol model of heart disease, which labels LDL as “bad” and HDL as “good,” has certainly helped drug companies sell a lot of statin medications.

Lycopene Shows Health Benefits Beyond Prostate Cancer Prevention
A recent National Cancer Institute sponsored study has challenged the notion that increased lycopene consumption can prevent prostate cancer.

Fibroids, Endometriosis & Breast Cancer: Treating Systemic Estrogen Toxicity
According to Dr. Joel Evans, a holistic gynecologist, these three disorders are far more related than many doctors realize.

Connexins: Optimizing Health by Improving Intercellular Communication
Connexins are the molecules that connect cells together and regulate passage of biochemical signals through our tissues. Their degree of openness, and consequently, the level of intercellular information flow, is greatly affected by nutrition, lifestyle and environmental factors-especially the relative acidity of one's diet. Neurophysiologist Darrell Tanelian, MD, PhD, has developed a comprehensive, user-friendly diet and lifestyle program aimed at improving health by improving connexin function at the cellular level.

Sweet Tempeh-tation: Making the Most of a Nutritious Soy Food
Much of the controversy over the health benefits or hazards of a soy rich diet arises because people fail to recognize the difference between fermented and unfermented soy. Fermentation ups the beneficia aspects of soy, while minimizing the downsides. Tempeh, a soy cake fermented with Rhizopus mold, is one of the most nutritious and delicious soy foods---one you and your patients should know. Doc Rob, our healthy kitchen guru, offers tips on making tempeh tempting.

Catch-22: Can We Harvest the Health Benefits of Seafood Without Destroying the Oceans?
The recent Institute of Medicine and Harvard reports on seafood safety go a long way in allaying public concern about mercury toxicity in fish and affirming fish as a healthy food. But they largely overlook the precarious state of the world's oceans. Can we have our fish and eat them too? Yes, say marine biologists, but only with major changes in fisheries management and consumer consciousness.

Cultures of Healing: Traditional Fermented Foods Find Their Place in the Modern World
There's a reason why nearly all traditional cultures worldwide have some form of fermented food as part of their dietary staples. Unfortunately, in the rush to modernity and "convenience," many people have lost the taste for things like kefir, kimchi, and natto. These and other fermented foods are extremely healthy, providing a rich source of probiotic gut bacteria, which aid digestion, reduce inflammation and promote overall health.

Prevention of Obesity Must Begin in Childhood
Teaching children to "clean their plates," and "eat every last bite," made a lot of sense in times of want. In the era of supersized meals full of saturated fat, sugar and salt, it is a set-up for obesity. Interestingly, human infants have an innate capacity to regulate food intake based on energy need, but as they grow, they're taught to eat more than they really need.

Equol Rights: Researchers Rediscover Soy's "Forgotten" Isoflavone.

Eskimos Discover Sat-Fats Grease the Wheels of Disease
Heart disease and diabetes were virtually unheard-of among Alaskan Eskimos, until the 1970s, when they abandoned their hunting and fishing lifestyle, and their marine diet.
