Know What You’re Getting
Natural or not? What the label says and what it means are two different things. Natural isn’t the same as natural food for human consumption. Rocks are natural, but we do not intentionally eat them. Yet, unfortunately, many of us do unintentionally ingest ground-up rocks like calcium carbonate (commonly known as limestone or chalk). In fact, calcium citrate, calcium ascorbate,…
More than Just Plastic Affecting Men
In a research article posted in 2015, pesticide exposure and sperm quality was questioned. https://files.constantcontact.com/3d1e011b001/d8fbb76e-93cb-4696-8502-29d2ad86d823.pdf Data obtained from a validated food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) combined with USDA PDP yielded individual measures of intake of fruits and vegetables with higher pesticide residues. The authors found that semen quality was reduced among men in the highest quartile…
One Third of People Prescribed Antibiotics Don’t Even Need Them
The National Action Plan for Combating Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria set a goal of reducing inappropriate outpatient antibiotic use by 50% by 2020. A study estimated at least 30% of antibiotic prescriptions in ambulatory care settings in the United States from 2010 to 2011 were unnecessary. Inappropriate antibiotic prescribing also includes choosing an unnecessarily broad spectrum antibiotic instead…
More Reason to Eat your Veggies
A new Harvard study highlights another reason why mother’s advice to “eat your veggies” is spot on for long-term health and, in particular, cognitive health. The study that started in 1986 and followed 27,842 men for 26 years was designed to highlight the impact of fruits and vegetables on subjective cognitive function (SCF). The subjects were asked…

Combating Chronic Infections
Many infections we are fighting today tend to be more challenging because of antibiotic resistance of biofilms. What are biofilms? Biofilm consists of microorganisms encased within a self-produced matrix of exopolysaccharides and exoproteins that strongly adheres to interfaces and resists dislodgement. Microorganisms residing within biofilms are highly resistant to antimicrobials including antibiotics and bacteriocins produced…
A Fun Journey
Here is the recording of a podcast I did a little over a month ago. https://anchor.fm/lifecastradio/episodes/Interview-10—Dont-We-All-Need-A-Medicine-Man-e2j38p?fbclid=IwAR1Hhev9s-C6ITFIScuL4UOExH7mPEKF_WI3kPtY0xmwzB0RntUEMNTqSG0 I often get asked, “How did you meet Dr. Tent?” or “How did you start working with him?” I’ve had a fun and unique journey full of twists and turns that lead me were I am today. Most friends…
Benefits of Intermittent Fasting
Humans in modern societies typically consume food at least three times daily, while laboratory animals are fed ad libitum. Over consumption of food with such eating patterns often leads to metabolic morbidities (insulin resistance, excessive accumulation of visceral fat, etc.), particularly when associated with a sedentary lifestyle. Because animals, including humans, evolved in environments where…
Addressing America’s Top Deficiency with a New Product
One of the most common nutritional deficiencies and most commonly misdiagnosed problems in America is B-Complex Deficiency Syndrome. (BCDS) Since most doctors feel either that vitamin deficiencies are a lot of bunk, or that “enriched” processed foods fill nutritional voids, lots of bogus diagnosis are given to people suffering a simple deficiency of B vitamins….
