This article is based on an NHK Japan YouTube video about glucose spikes. A glucose spike or post-prandial hyperglycemia (PPG) is the rise of blood sugar to more than 140 mg/dL after a meal. It can happen after every meal. Many may unknowingly have glucose spikes, including those with normal fasting blood sugar and slender. In…
This article discusses how an ozempic face can happen and what to do to prevent it.
Yesterday I wrote about my experience with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in The Post Holiday Heartburn. Further readings into the causes of GERD lead me to another reason many may not be aware of. One of my articles about COVID-19, Gut Microbiome Changes even in mild COVID-19 and what to do about it discussed that…
I want to share with you my experience with the recent holiday celebrations. Years ago, I used to have frequent heartburns. Doctors call it gastroesophageal reflux disease or GERD. I used to take a lot of TUMS or Rolaids. Working in the emergency department, drinking coffee, and having a poor diet did not help either….

A new study showed several inflammatory markers in the blood of patients with Long COVID. The inflammation leads to micro clots that are difficult to dissolve naturally. This leads to the extensive formation of clots. I think this will be the exact mechanism in people who develop blood clots after mRNA COVID vaccination since the…
This article discusses the diseases related to obesity and metabolic syndrome namely: endometrial cancer, ovarian cancer, metabolic syndrome, PCOS and heart diseases.
This article shows how to properly wash chicken meat to avoid bacterial contamination on surrounding surfaces.

A silent stroke has mild symptoms that it is often ignored. They are usually seen on a head CT scan as incidental findings. Silent strokes are warning signs of fatal and non-fatal strokes. With time, the brain tissue damage accumulates with silent strokes and manifests as vascular dementia. Silent stroke prevention is possible if the…
This article features a study that showed that caloric restriction has the same benefits that beta-blockers provide to failing hearts. Beta-blockers like metoprolol and atenolol are recommended for people with congestive heart failure (CHF). Failing hearts cannot supply enough blood. That is why people with CHF constantly feel weak and short of breath. In heart…
Nature Cardiovascular Research recently published a study that showed that some people who take antiplatelets and beta blockers have a higher risk of a non-fatal heart attack during warm weather. The authors were from Yale University and several prestigious institutions in Germany. The study evaluated 2,494 heart attack cases in Augsburg, Germany, during warm seasons…
In 2019, scientists from Yale used BrainEx technology to revive a pig’s brain after four hours of isolation from the body.[1] This time, the same group modified BrainEx into called OrganEx to partially revive the organs of a whole pig. Nature published the research in its August 3, 2022, edition.[2] How they did the experiment…
A new study showed that new heart muscles form in the hearts of older mice. It was published this month in Circulation. In the study, eight weeks of running exercise increased the formation of new heart muscle cells or cardiomyocytes in adult mice. (∼4.6 fold). The authors tested for the presence of new cardiomyocytes by…
Insulin resistance is not a good thing. Insulin resistance is when the liver and skeletal muscles do not respond to insulin, forcing the pancreas to produce more insulin to lower blood sugar. The problem with high insulin or hyperinsulinemia is that other organs like the fat tissue, liver, muscle, brain, bone, kidneys, and vasculature also…
Standard medical advice when someone has acute back pain is to take non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) like ibuprofen (Motrin™, Advil™) and diclofenac (Voltaren™). New research says that may cause more harm than good. The new study adds new information on how the body works and how acute pain can become chronic pain (pain for more…
I have talked about the benefits of intermittent fasting and the resulting reversal of cardiovascular risk factors like hypertension, diabetes, and hypertriglyceridemia. The past several months have shown unrelenting food price increases. This resulted from the war in Ukraine, the hyperinflationary policies of the US Federal Reserve, the culling of millions of poultry due to…
Neuropathy is a problem with nerve endings. The most common causes are diabetes and chemotherapy. We refer to the nerves supplying the upper and lower extremities when we talk of neuropathy in general, which is why it is also called peripheral neuropathy. Neuropathy can lead to other complications like gangrene, limb amputations, falls, persistent discomfort,…
