25.01.2022 Halle Berry says she's been on the keto diet for 30 years to manage her diabetes and it's helped her to 'live proudly'. Berry, now 54, was found to have diabete...s at the age of 22, which she says kicked off her health journey. "It was a moment I'll never forget," she told Insider. "I had to respin the way I lived my life and have carried that with me ever since."

23.01.2022 Paediatric Acute Neuropsychiatric Syndrome or PANS is estimated to affect 1 in 200 children, so it is not rare, but most children are undiagnosed or misdiagnose...d. Read this heartwarming article about Carys, and her parents, who started the PANS support group on line to help families in Australia and New Zealand. See more
22.01.2022 Bacteria that live in your mouth is found in nearly every organ in the body. Thanks to @dr.jess.md for tagging me in this post. What an exciting time to be draw...ing the dots between a truly complete mouth-body model of medicine. If you have bleeding gums, that’s an imbalance between oral microbes and your immune system. This inflammation is now implicated throughout the body and in many cases they find oral bacteria as the culprit. That’s why you need to pay close attention to your oral health. Researchers from Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland essentially traced the passage of bacteria in the mouth to the fluid surrounded the kneecap, called synovial fluid. By analyzing the DNA of the bacteria, the researchers could determine that the progeny of the gum bacteria entered into the bloodstream and settled in the synovial fluid, which was in a weakened state as a result of arthritis. The small study group of only 36 patients, none with advanced periodontitis. Of these patients, five had gum bacteria in their synovial fluid. Most convincing, though, was the fact that for two of the patients, the bacteria found in the mouth and in the synovial fluid were genetically nearly identical, providing smoking-gun evidence of bacteria relocating. If you have long term gum disease the risk has long been associated with heart disease. One example of this link is the accumulation of plaque in the arteries, called atherosclerosis, which may be exacerbated by the same bacteria causing plaque on the teeth. Another example is an inflamed heart valve, irritated by gum bacteria. The connection to rheumatoid arthritis and gum disease is well known, for healthy joints, it appears you need to look after your mouth. These chronic inflammatory conditions show up in the gut, our skin, our lungs, and glands. And, bleeding gums, acts a lot like an auto-immune issue (I believe we will reclassify it as one soon) with its root cause in intestinal permeability. More on this later! Don’t ignore bleeding gums, and as I’ve said for a long time, your baseline for good dental health is diet, which you can learn more about in my book The Dental Diet. Have you experienced bleeding gums and joint issues?
18.01.2022 If there is one message I can send as a Gastroenterologist - it is that we are built for an extremely acidic gastric environment- our acidity heads towards neut...rality as we age - but paradoxically we suffer more heartburn symptoms - this is because these are not diseases of acid but rather a failure of the mechanisms that should contain the acidic gastric contents within the stomach.

17.01.2022 Nasal breathing delivers a molecule to the body. Paranasal sinuses are major producers of nitric oxide (NO). In humans, nitric oxide is generated within the blo...od vessels and regulates blood pressure, and prevents the formation of clots and also destroys potential toxins. There is a link between low NO levels and many diseases. Here are a few of the diseases associated with low Nitric Oxide: high blood pressure, heart disease, heart attack, stroke, digestive tract issues such as Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, erectile dysfunction, and bladder issues. The sinuses communicate with the nasal cavity through ostia, and the rate of gas exchange between these cavities is dependent, for example, on the size of the ostia. Proper ventilation is essential for maintenance of sinus integrity, and blockage of the ostium blocks the flow to the sinuses. In a two-compartment model of the nose and sinus, oscillating airflow caused a dramatic increase in gas exchange between the cavities. Humming has been applied therapeutically for the treatment of chronic sinusitis. A case study of a patient who had been unable to nose breathe due to chronic sinusitis for a month was able to achieve a clear nose and breathe easily through his nose after 4 days of intensive humming (one hour the first day and 120 hums 4x per day). The authors hypothesised that the effect was due to the increase in nitric oxide produced by the humming. A small 10 person study looked at nasal NO was measured during humming and quiet single-breath exhalations at a fixed flow rate. NO increased 15-fold during humming compared with quiet exhalation. Humming exercises have been used in yoga for many thousands of years. To really experience the vibration of humming through the sinuses you can try this bee breath exercise while blocking the ears. 1. Sit up straight in a quiet, well ventilated corner with your eyes closed. Keep a gentle smile on your face 2. Place your index fingers on your ears. There is a cartilage between your cheek and ear. Place your index fingers on the cartilage 3. Take a deep breath in and as you breathe out, gently press the cartilage. You can keep the cartilage pressed or press it in and out with your fingers, while making a loud humming sound like a bee 4. You can also make a low-pitched sound but it is a good idea to make a high-pitched one for better results 5. Breathe in again and continue the same pattern 3-4 times. How did this exercise feel for you?
11.01.2022 You may have heard recently that vitamin D is protective against respiratory diseases. Vitamin D is a critical absorber of calcium, which means it also influenc...es the excretion of calcium. Where does this happen? The kidneys. There is a big body of evidence suggesting a lack of vitamin D induces fibrosis (calcification) of the lungs. Vitamin D deficiency and lung disease shows us the Lung-Kidney connection along the way! The key is to look at the mouth first. For teeth, vitamin D deficiency increases the risk of tooth decay. Tooth enamel exists in constant calcium flux. Actually your whole body is, muscles, nerves, cells all depend on the movement and balance of calcium. Tooth decay is the body’s inability to replace the flux of calcium into tooth enamel. And vitamin D is the king of calcium. A recent study published in Nature looked at this relationship: Chronic vitamin D deficiency induces lung fibrosis through activation of the renin-angiotensin system What did they do? Induced Vit D deficiency in a group of mice: They used a vitamin D deficient diet to induce a vitamin D deficiency in the experimental group: What did they find? Chronic vitamin D deficiency destroys lung structures, impairs lung development and induces fibrosis (calcification). Fibrosis induces a shortness of breath due to a sudden buildup of fluid in the lungs Why did it happen? They found that it imbalanced KIDNEY hormones (renin-angiotensin-system) Kidney hormones balance calcium and phosphate excretion from in the urine Vitamin D deficiency increases the release of kidney hormones (RAS) to stop the excretion of calcium. The lungs are affected by kidney hormones because fluid needed to lubricate alveoli is retained As vitamin D deficiency gets worse, calcium becomes more sparse, and mitochondrial calcium levels drop, a series of changes shift cell remodelling and induce fibrosis Then Lungs choking in fluid, and calcified because of vitamin D deficiency. Are you getting enough vitamin D?
09.01.2022 We’ve long known the association between sugar and teeth, but it has often been purely thought as a bacterial process. One of the easiest ways to beat sugar cra...vings is to know what your body really needs. Well, sugar depletes our body of minerals, including magnesium, which is a critical makeup of strong teeth. It has a largely under-appreciated role in creating strong bones and has benefits throughout the body. Magnesium is an essential nutrient for the brain and can help curb the messages that fuel sugar cravings. It helps regulate blood sugar, among its many benefits. If you eat too much sugar, may increase risk of magnesium deficiency and it is often seen in people with diabetes. A deficiency can occur with type 1 and type 2 diabetes, but appears to be more prevalent with type 2. This is because low levels of magnesium are associated with insulin resistance. If you have type 2 diabetes, your body produces insulin, but not enough to meet your needs. This is called insulin resistance. People with insulin sensitivity or resistance also lose excess magnesium in their urine, contributing to lower levels of this nutrient. Some people with type 1 diabetes also develop insulin resistance. This may put them at risk for a magnesium deficiency, too. Taking a magnesium supplement, however, can increase your magnesium blood level and improve diabetes control. If you have pre-diabetes, supplementation may also improve blood sugar and possibly prevent type 2 diabetes. Magnesium doesn’t only help regulate blood sugar. Other benefits of a healthy magnesium blood level include: decreases blood pressure, which reduces the risk for heart disease and stroke reduces the frequency of migraine attacks improves exercise performance decreases anxiety and depression reduces inflammation and pain eases premenstrual syndrome When do you crave sugar?
