My ongoing research of allergy and autoimmune disease has uncovered a long history of medical manipulations that defy logic. Even my seasonal allergies have been quelled with homeopathic dilutions of dust, mold, and pollen. Allergy immunotherapy is intriguingly similar, exposing us to daily, increasing amounts of allergens that slowly reprogram our immune system. In any . . . → Read More: Double agents in medicine
By Shari Cheves on August 31st, 2013 Going nuts thinking about food allergies? Shedding tears about pollen? Remedies are far, wide, and complicated as shellfish.

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
By Shari Cheves on November 4th, 2012 Earlier this year we reviewed how breathing improves sleep and overall health.

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
By Shari Cheves on February 2nd, 2012 Sleep may be the single most important factor of health – and one of the least understood. Without rejuvenating sleep, we cannot effectively think, act, or fight diseases. Short or poor quality sleep is linked to obesity, cancer, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes.

My final report of the year reveals my biggest discovery of the year – something that increases chronic disease, facial aging, bad breath, cavities, poor concentration, poor immunity, and poor sleep. Something you can prevent!
Several months ago I decided to tackle my . . . → Read More: Who knows it’s all in the NOse?
By Shari Cheves on October 31st, 2011 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.

Have you ever noticed an epic meal or a memorable glass of tap water…on vacation?
