We Can’t Let Fear Win

Here’s an interesting fact for you. Did you know that multiple studies show gastrointestinal (GI) issues are one of the hallmarks of autism? In 2012, researchers at the National Institute of Health noted that 92% of children with autism show GI distress. The CDC estimates that children with autism are 3.5 times more likely to suffer chronic constipation or diarrhea. It’s been proposed that the link is due to pathogenic gut bacteria. These tend to overgrow (and overpower) the good gut bacteria. In one study, UWO researcher Dr.MacFabe was able to produce autism-like symptoms in rats by injecting them with a fatty acid produced [...]

Are You Toxic? (The Answer May Surprise You)

Dr. Joshua Gelber2019-12-10T15:36:31-05:00

Cautionary tale today. A “chemical revolution” over the past 50 years has polluted nearly every aspect of our lives. The truth is we still have much to learn about the long term health risks this poses. But research has shown that every single one of us carries synthetic chemicals in our body. And it’s estimated the average person is exposed to 200 chemical toxins a day. Bill Moyer, author of the Moyer report, was tested for chemical toxins in his blood and urine at Mount Sinai School of Medicine. They found 84 different hazardous chemicals, including some that’ve been banned for [...]

I had a meltdown last week

Dr. Joshua Gelber2019-02-19T11:56:25-05:00

A couple of weeks ago my wife got sick. I mean this was the worst cold she’s had in about eight years – sneezing, heavy-duty dry cough, the whole nine. About a week later my son got sick, too. Poor little guy got it bad, with fever, even a double ear infection. I had to step up. So I double-dosed my USANA vitamins to keep the ol’ immune system a-humming and took on some additional parenting duties. Add to that I skipped a few lunches to do some outreach here in the community. It was tiring, but fulfilling. Next, I had to [...]
