Well, times have changed! Twenty years ago, when I first began writing about Lyme Disease, the Centers for Disease Control had dismissed it with a “no big deal” attitude, estimating 30,000 cases annually, mainly in New England. By 2025, we’re up to 475,000 cases a year, and had some knowledge about the so-called “co-infections,” Bartonella, […]

We are thrilled to bring our services to the south side!
We are a healthcare practice that strives to integrate the best of conventional and complementary medicine in a caring and healing environment. We believe that both health and disease are functions of physical, emotional, nutritional, and spiritual influences. Many health issues are rooted in a patient’s personal biography – the story of your life – and are most effectively treated by addressing root causes rather than symptoms alone.

Health Tips
I recently read that 16% of Americans (approximately 54 million of us) are taking antidepressants. This got Secretary Kennedy’s knickers all in a twist. He announced that the U.S. faces a “dependency crisis” because we’re overmedicated and should begin “deprescribing” of antidepressants by supervised tapering. Depressed and anxious patients need to be offered alternatives like […]
From what I’ve been told by the 10-15% of WholeHealth Chicago patients who are (or have been on) on the conveyor belt of hormone injection/surgical procedure stops on each of the highly competitive Fertility Centers, it must be an emotionally draining experience. You arrive feeling <fill in some emotion, like anxiety, hope>. She is <worried? […]
With a title like that, I fully understand if you have an urge to hit the delete key. You endured a Health Tip a few years ago about my colonic, and I do applaud your strength for that. But now, having read in American Medical News that the U.S. is the 17th unhealthiest among 17 wealthiest nations […]
*This Health Tip was originally posted in 2018. More than 30 years ago, I read a book that managed to influence my entire life. Four Arguments for the Elimination of Television (go ahead and click on it—it’s still available at Amazon and a surprising number of reviews are from recent years) was a best-seller in its day […]

Some cytokines increase inflammation, imaginatively called pro-inflammatory cytokines, others decrease it: anti-inflammatory cytokines. They cause […]
