Question 1

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

Accepted Answer

Still Controversial: 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

See a Dr: 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

Accepted Answer

???: Red wine is not really going to lower cholesterol. There are much treatments.

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: 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 6

how can i manage to do everything i once did - or can i?

Accepted Answer

Proper expectations: It is important to have proper and appropriate expectations. Although it is certainly ok to want to do things as before, it may not be appropriate to expect the same level. Although i would like to ski like before, now I am just happy to be skiing. Set the right expectations.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

Bad feeling: Remorse and guilt can be resolved thru psychotherapy with a professional counselor.

Question 9

i love to tan, did it years ago. what can i do to get good artificial one.?

Accepted Answer

Spas.: Many health spas offer artificial, spray-on tans that look pretty natural and avoid all the risks of a natural tan. Remember, though, that an artificial tan will not protect you against sunburn, so you will need to be even more vigilant about applying a good sunscreen lotion daily.

Question 10

did splits and trying out px90. i hurt more than i ever have in 40 years. what can i do?

Accepted Answer

Go slow: You're overusing muscles you haven't used in a long time.  Start out slow and work your way up to the goal exercises.  You will likely get there.  No point hurting yourself early because then your routine is messed up and you can't even do a basic routine.
