Question 1

What's your opinion of the book "the grain brain" by dr david pearlmutter?

Accepted Answer

John, I'm still not completely through the book, but the premise is one that I am beginning to agree with--namely that carbohydrates are the "root of all evil."  Keep in mind that this assertion is still very controversial, and you will find some doctors who agree with it and some who do not--which is true of almost any new idea amongst doctors.  Take care and stay well!

Question 2

Good day, my name is abdul aziz davids and i have had this pain behind both shoulder blades it's like a constant pressure which i've had for years. it is now getting to a point where it is unbearable.

Accepted Answer

Any unbearable pain which has been going on for years requires a thorough exam by a Dr. Causes for the pain you have described vary from benign (improper posture, poor lifting technique, overuse) to serious ( herniated cervical disc, dislocated rib, heart problem, compression fracture) A Dr will examine you and may order tests and imaging to determine the cause and treatment for this problem.

Question 3

Is mogan david red wine just as good as any other red wine for lowering cholesterol?

Accepted Answer

Red wine is not really going to lower cholesterol. There are much treatments.
First: avoid cholesterol containing food
Second: check with your doc what the level is and discuss statins.

Good luck

Question 4

Neurologist david perlmutter in his new book "grain brain" says to eliminate whole grains and fruit from my diet to avoid alzheimer's. should i?

Accepted Answer

Grain brain contains some life changing ideas.  Whether you adopt all the suggestions depends on your clinical status.  Staying off wheat is probably a good idea for most of us -- other grains like amaranth, quinoa, etc are better.  If you&#x27;re Insulin resistant at all, you might need to be careful of very sweet fruits that increase your blood sugar.  Berries, apples, etc are less a problem.

Question 9

Which educational dvds are best?

There are so many good and interactive dvd out there now that i couldn't begin to pick a "best one".  However, as with any educational item for your child, the best one is the one you do together.  Your child will learn so much better if you are at their side to explain, sing along, pretend you're the characters - these will help them engrain the messages and things learned in their minds forever!

Question 10

Why did you choose a career in medicine?

Accepted Answer

Seriously! i always wanted to help people get healthy. Plus i'm more a one-on-one kind of guy so public health isn't my cup of tea. And i like doing lots of different things which is why i choose family medicine, which also allows me the opportunity to care for the whole family, from cradle to grave as we say. It's also given me the opportunity to do different things time.
