Hello Everyone: I intended to begin an in-depth discussion this month of balancing the endocrine system (thyroid gland, adrenal glands, etc.), but I came upon an eye-opening study a few days ago which made me decide to postpone that for a month or two and, instead, prioritize a discussion on colon health. I have written and attached an in-depth article for NHSS/SPE Members about this study, obesity, the obesity drug Ozempic, the importance of dietary fiber and chia seeds. In this first of series of 5 articles for NHSS/SPE Members regarding colon health, I will discuss a recently published study on the epidemic of colorectal cancer, the importance of dietary fiber as a factor in the prevention of both obesity and colon […]
Arterial Plaque vs. Elevated Blood Cholesteroland Increased Heart Attack Risk; Dangers of Statin Drugs  Part I
This article by Dr. Berkowsky challenges the long-held belief that elevated cholesterol causes heart disease. It refutes the idea of “bad” cholesterol, highlighting its essential roles in producing hormones, vitamin D, and maintaining cell and brain health. High cholesterol may instead be a symptom of other issues, such as liver or thyroid problems.

A recent study is cited, suggesting that existing arterial plaque, not cholesterol levels, is the primary predictor of future buildup and heart attack risk.
