Farming & Gardening
So why farming? On a food page? On a medical page? The connection between food and good health is easy to see. But many of you may wonder why a doctor would care about farming. Why include sustainable growing, regenerative farming and permaculture on a health and...
Food
Food is central to our health. Most people understand this. However, how and what we consume can be a difficult topic. What do we eat? How do we eat for our best health? Is everyone different? People eat in diverse ways worldwide. How do I know what is right for me?...
One heck of a year!
The year of Covid! I don’t have to tell anyone what this year has been like! It has been different for everyone depending on if you got sick, own a business and had to close or slow way down, have family members who got sick, with some who made it and some who did...
A little discouraged!!
I have a confession! I have been a little discouraged the last few months about Agroshare, what I teach at the clinic and how we had to stop our classes! Agroshre got hacked and it took 2-3 months to try to get that figured out. We had to change hosts more than once...
Beef Tongue- A New Experience
Lately, I have been working on trying new foods, especially meat products. In the not too distant past, our family members and ancestors ate a lot more parts of the animals that we eat today. Their diets made the most of what they had, and as a result, were...

What if we had a way to get rid of mental illness!! What a world this would be!
I get up each morning and many mornings I go through my emails to get rid of the junk and keep what I need to know and learn. As I do this I often think what can I pass on to my patients that would be interesting. Today I did this and ran across this video that I...
Yolk or No Yolk?
Nutrition has always fascinated me. As a doctor and a farmer, I’ve learned quite a bit about eggs, because I raise hens on my property, and eggs are a staple of my own diet. For those who can tolerate them (they are a common dietary allergen), eggs are not only the...
Hard parts of fasting for 11 days! #3 in series!!
So what were the hardest parts of fasting? For most people day 1 and 2 bring on some hunger and day 2 is usually the hardest. For some reason for me I am always hungry the whole fast no matter how long I fast. I don’t feel as hungry when I am busy but at times I feel...

The Groundhog is a paper written in Mentone and they asked me to write an article for the paper! I was honored so I am including a link below. I wrote this about a week and a half ago so just to update: vitamin D can improve the immune function to help combat corona...

#2 in the series, Why would anyone fast for 11 days!
Why would I do this?? I had read for many years about folks who had fasted for 20 – 30 or more days and completely gotten rid of symptoms of several illnesses. It is something I would like to do but it is very difficult to do this and work. In the past, longer fasts I...
Are you crazy! Fasting for 11 days!
I wanted to document my recent 11 day fast! I am not crazy! There are many benefits to fasting including decreasing inflammation which is the main reason I have fasted over the years. Other benefits include reversing the aging process, preventing Alzheimer’s,...
Benefits of buying local!!
I love getting Mother Earth News and used to get it in the mail but now by e-mail!! It has always had some great articles for people who wanted to homestead and be do-it-yourselfers. This article was contributed four years ago but it is very pertinent to today and...
I have my blogs set up as three different blogs. I will not blog on each every day! But some blog posts will be about food, some about farming and some about medicine. I hope to blog in each category weekly. One may not be interested in farming and only food so you can go to the food blog and find what you are looking for in that category about food! I am hoping this speeds up the process when you try to find something you are interested in and you want to follow.
I have dedicated my life to studying how food affects our bodies. So the food blog is very important to me. Our whole page is really about food in all of its forms including how to grow it and how it affects our health! My goal is to stay as up to date as possible on each topic. I also encourage everyone to check out all three categories as I hope to pull you into all the topics!
If there are any topics you want me to comment on or study please fill out the contact information and we will try hard to answer your request. If we can’t we will let you know as well. Once again, thanks so much for visiting our page and let us know what you think is helpful or what is not!!
