Please continue to check back - the newsletter archive and other information will be available soon.

Because you are an extraordinary manifestation of unique genetic material, think first, before applying any or all of these articles’ information to your life choices. Dr G’s just trying to pass along some information, trying to interpret medical and nutrition news reports for you - within the framework of information already known and the limitations of how the studies were done, with a little gut feeling (clearly identified as such) thrown in. Articles this size can’t possibly contain every bit of information that was ever published on a subject. Distillation may leave some things out: Hopefully not crucial pieces. This newsletter offers some insight, not The Cure: It’s not a doctor’s prescription. PLEASE discuss any changes in therapy or lifestyle with your doctor. You accept your own risk when making decisions about your health.
