Symptoms of Excessive Thyroid Hormone
If you start taking thyroid replacement, you’ll want to watch for and report to your practitioner if you start to have any of the below symptoms after starting the replacement. My experience is that the standard lab test, called “TSH”, has to get below 1.00 before normal thyroid levels are achieved. This may falsely be […]
Q&A: High Blood Pressure
Question: I have struggled with high blood pressure for 20 years. A year ago, I found BALi and have been 100% committed to it. During that time, my energy / clarity and focus are amazing. I have lost about 50 lbs. My blood pressure is still high even on medication, what am I missing? Here […]
Memory Care
Should you make reservations? Check your TSH and hemoglobin A1c. Like most all western medical conditions, Alzheimer’s is a consequence of long-term inflammation. Inflammation is caused by the immune system’s response to critter overgrowth. The immune cell soldiers produce weapons of mass destruction called “cytokines”.

Reading the Whether Reports with Dr. Amy Dunn
Again, falling feels like flying until you hit the ground. This is what your blood work looks like year before the “sudden heart attack”, stroke, cancer, osteoporosis, Alzheimer’s etc. Your body sustains years of inflammation before these catastrophes happen. How do you know if you’re falling and not flying? The biggest clue is your age. […]

What are the Early Signs of Cancer?
Q: What are the early signs of cancer? Dr. Fitt: Better to know the signs that presage cancer. Unfortunately, by the time a patient was coughing up blood and the lung cancer was large enough for me to see on X-ray, it had already spread. We don’t do well with cancer that has spread–metastasized. If […]
Health Benefits of Magnesium & Potassium
Whether it’s high blood pressure, high blood sugar or high cholesterol, these are like warning lights on your car dash. They indicate an imbalance – too much of something or not enough. Low levels of magnesium and potassium are common causes of high blood pressure. It’s never because you’re deficient in some drug. Both mineral […]
Age & the Immune System
Those of you my age will increasingly be offered vaccines as you go for doctor visits. Again, since we outsource most of our manufacturing jobs to cheap third world labor markets (just randomly pick up stuff in your home and look at the “Made in…” label), our economy is now based mostly on the food […]
