I am astounded at how many of us unknowingly suffer from excess histamine. Some of us itch or sneeze while others get headaches, migraines, joint pain, or nausea – within minutes or several hours after exposure! Our “histamine bucket” fills up based on factors such as genetics, allergies, medication, diet, environment, nutritional deficiencies, intestinal damage, . . . → Read More: The many faces of histamine intolerance Earlier this year we reviewed how breathing improves sleep and overall health. Armed with this information, I experienced the best sleep of my life, forcing air through my nose by taping my mouth shut with gentle 3M Micropore surgical tape. But it gets better. Since late August my sleep quality has got another lift with . . . → Read More: Sleep – a new angle of repose 
Most of us brush off dandruff* as a cosmetic problem, spending hundreds of millions of dollars on commercial products to stop the flakes. Dandruff, or seborrheic dermatitis (SD),affects up to 50% of the population and appears linked to fungal/yeast growth that results in itching, inflammation, and even occasional hair loss. Yet a deeper investigation . . . → Read More: A Dandruff Whodunit Sleep may be the single most important factor of health – and one of the least understood.

Last month I explained how Southern California food can’t shake the salt over Portland’s casual cuisine – likely due to differences in water. After gushing over the smell of breezy pine forests this summer, I expected to dig up similarly glowing reports for Oregon air quality. The results were a bit disappointing.

This is a pretty tall order (or should I say venti?) for roasted seeds. With diabetes rates climbing alongside America’s coffee addiction, it seems impossible. After pouring through hundreds of studies on disease risk and prevention, I found one common theme around caffeine: it’s . . . → Read More: Caffeinated coffee: a cup of contradiction Like most parents who received the vaccine alert this spring, I thought my child would be ousted from school without the whooping cough (pertussis) vaccine or “Tdap” booster. The letter, like many others across California, did not explain that parents have a choice in this matter. California is one of 20 states that allow vaccine . . . → Read More: Pertussis: know the vaccine, the epidemic and your rights OK, tennis elbow is driving me crazy. Three months now of periodic pain and swelling. Three weeks without a match and I’m losing it – playing air guitar with the vacuum cleaner and testing the limits of milk chocolate raisin consumption.
