from Lynn W.
After 9 months of doctors appointments, multiple tests, co-pays, deductibles, time list from work and school...all with no answers, I took my teenage daughter to Dr. McManus at the suggestion of a friend. My daughter suffered from
chronic diarrhea, abdominal pain and fatigue. I felt completely frustrated that
none of the specialists (
including the head of TX Children's GI dept)
were able to figure out what was going on. At the first appointment with Dr McManus she suggested a gluten free diet with a yeast cleanse based on my daughters symptoms. I knew it would be a challenge based on the typical teenager diet my daughter had been following but out of desperation, we jumped - but not without a parachute. We had a whole team of support people to help. Nancy, an amazing nutritionist and Maddie our MA were there to help every step of the way.
Within the first week my daughters debilitating GI issues were GONE!!!

SKINFLAMMATION
Causes and Solutions
|
|
by Mila McManus MD
and Nancy Mehlert, MS

The skin is the body's largest organ. It helps to regulate temperature and serves as the first line of defense against infection. It is an organ with the capacity to both absorb and eliminate substances.
The skin is also an outward manifestation and communication of what is going on inside the body. Healthy skin is reflective of a healthy internal body and ideally it should be clear and glowing. Any skin condition, such as oily or dry skin, blemishes, discoloration, eczema, psoriasis, acne, hives, rashes, itchiness, and premature aging are all signs that there's something internally in the body that's out of balance. These are not normal and should not be written off as "aging" or "normal for me". Suppressing your skin problem with topical antibiotics and steroids, for example, is a disservice to your body because the underlying causes have not been addressed. Also, remember that the skin is a detoxification pathway and the body is, in many cases, trying to eliminate something through the skin. Stopping that process topically may prevent the body from detoxifying successfully.
When skin issues lead us to searching for the internal issues, in almost every case, it leads us to internal inflammation. This can come from many sources and, for some individuals, it may be the result of several factors. The most common are:

The "Need to Know" About Coffee and Tea

by Nancy Mehlert, MS

Over the last decade, there have been many meta-analyses and other studies supporting the benefits of, and possible links between, coffee and tea reducing risk for chronic diseases. As recent as 2015, even the Dietary Guidelines for Americans added coffee and tea as a recommended beverage that could be safely consumed daily without detrimental effects. That came from research pointing to both coffee and tea as demonstrating anti-cancer effects, as well as protective qualities for the heart, brain, and liver. Re
search also has shown an association with lower risk for many other diseases such as Type 2 Diabetes, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's and overall mortality.
At the 230th national meeting of the American Chemical Society, researchers stated findings that suggest Americans get more antioxidants from drinking coffee than from any other dietary source and emphasized that "nothing else even comes close".
¹ Well I guess that just proves two things - lots of us enjoy our coffee
and tea, and perhaps many of us are not eating enough fruits and vegetables. That said, if you truly want the health benefits associated with drinking coffee and tea, and it is a daily practice for you, then here are some things you need to know to reap the benefits:
