Welcome to DrSears.com

Thank you for visiting DrSears.com.  Medicine is not as complicated as we think, and likewise nutrition is not as simple as we are led to believe.  My goal at DrSears.com is to make you think about both medicine and nutrition from a new perspective.  That new perspective is based upon understanding the molecular basis of inflammation.  It’s about how inflammation is the underlying cause of chronic disease, and how our diet can either reduce inflammation or increase it.

In the final analysis, it’s all about your genes,  especially how an anti-inflammatory diet, like the Zone Diet, can turn off inflammatory genes and simultaneously turn on anti-inflammatory genes that promote cellular rejuvenation, repair and healing.  Your ability to control inflammation becomes the molecular definition of wellness.   This is why I hope you will use DrSears.com as your destination site to get the latest breaking information on anti-inflammatory medicine and its impact on 21st-century health care.

Q: My 23-year-old daughter has been suffering from severe pain in her leg ligaments for nearly four years. At times it is so bad she can barely walk. Finally, a few months ago she was diagnosed with Hashimoto's thyroidis and a near-severe deficiency in vitamin D, among other things. She has started a treatment based on a protocol of T3 and T4 and vitamin D, and she is doing much better on a number of fronts, but her ligament pains seem to have remained the same or even have gotten slightly worse as she is more active in the summer months. Should she start taking large amounts of omega-3 in her condition, and how could that interfere with her present medication, if at all. If you believe she should try such a treatment, which one of your products would you recommend?
 
A: It appears the pain is unrelated to the Hashimoto’s thyroidis. I would recommend at least 7.5 grams of EPA and DHA per day for 30-60 days. If the pain decreases, then reduce the dose until the pain returns.

It should be obvious by now that the days of cheap food in America are coming to an end. As a result, everyone will start making economic decisions based on the price of food. 

Medical Testimonial

On Aug. 18, 2006, I left my job as a chemist in Cranbury, NJ, and proceeded to start riding my transit bike to the train station. I had to get home, wolf down an unhealthy quick meal and get ready for my second job as a professional disc jockey. Things were both time-tight because of my occupation, and because I was getting married in three weeks! And, while I was riding my bike, the woman I was marrying was just beginning her final wedding dress fitting!

But.....something happened! On the road next to the bike path there was a horrific accident! One car hit another, spun it on its side, and guess what happened next? The car (on its side), going 45 mph, hit me on my bike! I flew 50 feet in the air and landed on MY HEAD!
