Food is Medicine
My mission is to be a source of knowledge, community, connection and support for those who want to heal serious illness. These include autoimmune disease, chronic health issues, obesity, morbid obesity and emotional trauma. My primary philosophy is to use what works. Unfortunately modern medicine has few real answers for many modern diseases. They are great at prescribing medications to manage specific symptoms, but they are not so great at addressing the underlying causes of chronic health issues.

Song About my Health Journey & Personal Message
The only way to achieve long lasting relief is to address those underlying causes by treating the whole person, not individual symptoms. In my personal experience I've found that the answer to healing most chronic illnesses or putting them into remission is a proper diet. Eating the right foods supercharges our bodies ability to heal. In addition to healing many chronic diseases I've also used these techniques to put several autoimmune diseases into remission. Many times when I tell people of what's possible with the right diet I am met with disbelief or accused of spreading false hope. Many people just can't wrap their brain around such a simple solution to 80% of the health issues prevalent in modern society.

It can be hard to accept that we have been lied to all our lives. Lied to by doctors, pharmaceutical companies, big food corporations, dietitians, parents, etc. It amounts to brainwashing on a massive scale and it can be hard for many to accept this reality. Many people will try to convince you these types of dietary solutions are dangerous and healing these illnesses are medically impossible. I am living proof this way of healing is not only safe but it really works. In these pages you will find links to real scientific research proving the safety and efficacy of healing your body with food.

Almost all autoimmune diseases will respond to a proper diet. Even progressive, often terminal conditions have been healed by proper food choices. Conditions like MS, ALS, Hodgkin's disease, Cancer, Parkinson's disease, some types of dementia, Alzheimer's, type 2 diabetes, fibromyalgia and so on. The list is almost endless.

In my particular case I tried many things in an effort to lose weight and heal my autoimmune disease. I finally found success with a subset of the Ketogenic diet called "Carnivore".

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Myasthenia Gravis
What is Myasthenia Gravis
Muscle weakness caused by myasthenia gravis gets worse when the affected muscle is used. Because symptoms usually get better with rest, muscle weakness can come and go. However, the symptoms tend to progress over time. They usually reach their worst within a few years after the disease begins.
Myasthenia gravis may affect any of the muscles that you can control. Certain muscle groups are more commonly affected than others.
What is Osteoarthritis
What is Osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis, affecting millions of people worldwide. It occurs when the protective cartilage that cushions the ends of the bones wears down over time.
Although osteoarthritis can damage any joint, the disorder most commonly affects joints in your hands, knees, hips and spine.
Osteoarthritis symptoms can usually be managed, although the damage to joints can't be reversed. Staying active, maintaining a healthy weight and receiving certain treatments might slow progression of the disease and help improve pain and joint function.
What is Sjogren's Disease
What is Sjogren's Disease
Sjogren's (SHOW-grins) syndrome is a disorder of your immune system identified by its two most common symptoms — dry eyes and a dry mouth.
The condition often accompanies other immune system disorders, such as rheumatoid arthritis and lupus. In Sjogren's syndrome, the mucous membranes and moisture-secreting glands of your eyes and mouth are usually affected first — resulting in decreased tears and saliva.
Although you can develop Sjogren's syndrome at any age, most people are older than 40 at the time of diagnosis. The condition is much more common in women.
What is Ankylosing Spondylitis
What is Ankylosing Spondylitis
Ankylosing spondylitis is a type of arthritis characterized by long-term inflammation of the joints of the spine, typically where the spine joins the pelvis. With AS, eye and bowel problems, and back pain may occur. Joint mobility in the affected areas sometimes worsens over time.
What is Stenosis of the spine
What is Stenosis of the spine
Spinal stenosis happens when the space inside the backbone is too small. This can put pressure on the spinal cord and nerves that travel through the spine. Spinal stenosis occurs most often in the lower back and the neck.
Some people with spinal stenosis have no symptoms. Others may experience pain, tingling, numbness and muscle weakness. Symptoms can get worse over time.
The most common cause of spinal stenosis is wear-and-tear changes in the spine related to arthritis. People who have severe cases of spinal stenosis may need surgery.
Surgery can create more space inside the spine. This can ease the symptoms caused by pressure on the spinal cord or nerves. But surgery can't cure arthritis, so arthritis pain in the spine may continue.
What is Eczema
What is Eczema
Eczema is a condition that causes your skin to become dry, itchy and bumpy. This condition weakens your skin’s barrier function, which is responsible for helping your skin retain moisture and protecting your body from outside elements.
Eczema is a type of dermatitis. Dermatitis is a group of conditions that cause skin inflammation.
What is Seborrhea (Seborrheic Dermatitis)
What is Seborrhea (Seborrheic Dermatitis)
Seborrheic (seb-o-REE-ik) dermatitis is a common skin condition that mainly affects your scalp. It causes scaly patches, inflamed skin and stubborn dandruff. It usually affects oily areas of the body, such as the face, sides of the nose, eyebrows, ears, eyelids and chest. This condition can be irritating but it's not contagious, and it doesn't cause permanent hair loss.
Seborrheic dermatitis may go away without treatment. Or you may need to use medicated shampoo or other products long term to clear up symptoms and prevent flare-ups.
Seborrheic dermatitis is also called dandruff, seborrheic eczema and seborrheic psoriasis. When it occurs in infants, it's called cradle cap.
What is Psoriasis
What is Psoriasis
Psoriasis is a skin disease that causes a rash with itchy, scaly patches, most commonly on the knees, elbows, trunk and scalp.
Psoriasis is a common, long-term (chronic) disease with no cure. It can be painful, interfere with sleep and make it hard to concentrate. The condition tends to go through cycles, flaring for a few weeks or months, then subsiding for a while. Common triggers in people with a genetic predisposition to psoriasis include infections, cuts or burns, and certain medications.
What is Gastro Esophageal Reflex Disease (GERD)
What is Gastro Esophageal Reflex Disease (GERD)
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) occurs when stomach acid repeatedly flows back into the tube connecting your mouth and stomach (esophagus). This backwash (acid reflux) can irritate the lining of your esophagus.
Many people experience acid reflux from time to time. However, when acid reflux happens repeatedly over time, it can cause GERD.
Most people are able to manage the discomfort of GERD with lifestyle changes and medications. And though it's uncommon, some may need surgery to ease symptoms.
What is Bipolar Disorder
What is Bipolar Disorder
Bipolar disorder, formerly called manic depression, is a mental health condition that causes extreme mood swings that include emotional highs (mania or hypomania) and lows (depression).
When you become depressed, you may feel sad or hopeless and lose interest or pleasure in most activities. When your mood shifts to mania or hypomania (less extreme than mania), you may feel euphoric, full of energy or unusually irritable. These mood swings can affect sleep, energy, activity, judgment, behavior and the ability to think clearly.
Episodes of mood swings may occur rarely or multiple times a year. While most people will experience some emotional symptoms between episodes, some may not experience any.
Although bipolar disorder is a lifelong condition, you can manage your mood swings and other symptoms by following a treatment plan. In most cases, bipolar disorder is treated with medications and psychological counseling (psychotherapy).

A note to say thank you David! For the past 5 1/2 months I’ve been challenged by a blood disorder, a virus, from some truly unknown origin! I already have a medical team who regularly have supported me through years of maintenance and recovery from an unrelated auto-immune condition and strokes. I have truly been blessed with full recovery - every time - and very little residual. Then came along this bizarre illness; first I almost overnight dropped 21 pounds - not intended or desired as a fairly lean already super active fitness individual. This was followed by months of every test western medicine could provide. Nothing -no changes, no plan. Then I mentioned this to you during a personal conversation as an offshoot of our Leadership training studies together. Your specialized knowledge of non-traditional, homeopathic options was interesting and provided a possibility. So, I gave it a try for the past several weeks. Last week I had two additional physicians - specialists in Infectious Diseases and Endocrinology - added to my team. They studied results of bloodwork and calmly, almost matter-of-factly stated there were no traces anywhere in my blood of the virus. I know, I’ve no idea if the only item in my diet that changed in the past several months was to take credit for that - but I didn’t much care. I only thought of 2 things:
(1) Tell my wife and make immediate plans to resume my fitness training, and
(2) let David know he may have played a role in helping reach that moment. Of course, I’ve no idea if that was it, but it certainly didn’t hurt!! Thank you for your patience, insight, dedication to keeping up to date, and for being a friend.
Rich B, Miami
