Get Your Donations Matched (and COVID-19 Updates)

A very generous donor has offered to match all donations up to $10,000. Donations can be made through this form. We realize these are unsettling and uncertain times for many, so we are keeping our upcoming webinar completely free (see below). If you are able to and would like to support our work, now is a great time to do so, thanks to this wonderful donor. 

COVID-19 Info Page and Another Webinar

Coronavirus imageWith my How Not to Diet book tour suspended, the COVID-19 crisis allowed me an opportunity to draw on my past expertise on emerging infectious disease to fast-track a new book on pandemic survival and prevention that will be out next month(!). How to Survive a Pandemic is now available for preorder as an e-book and audiobook (Amazon preorders are now live!) Physical copies will be out this fall.

But you don’t have to wait for the book to learn more about how we got into this situation and what we can do now. Check out these resources all about COVID-19 and pandemics: 

I’ll be doing another webinar on May 27th. The information will be similar to this month’s webinar, but in the form of our usual, polished videos rather than just me as a talking (and walking) head. Click here to register for the webinar for free. As always, those videos will eventually be out on NutritionFacts.org after the webinar, but I want to give everyone a chance to hear it early and participate in the live Q&A. Note that Zoom limits us to 5,000 webinar attendees so register now.

Botched Circumcision Leads to Penis Amputation for Baby Boy

From  cord blood banking  to  baby naming ceremonies , parents of newborns have a bevy of key decisions to make when it comes to medical procedures and religious and/or cultural practices. For instance, as soon as a couple learns they're having a boy, they might find themselves grappling with the  decision to circumcise—or not . It's an individual, personal decision for every family. Thankfully, when parents opt in, most circumcisions go off without a hitch. However, a shocking story out of Egypt highlights one instance in which the routine procedure went terribly awry. A father from Cairo is speaking out after his son's  penis had to be amputated following a botched circumcision . The Jerusalem Post  reported that the father named Ashraf Helmi says he took his child to Cairo to be vaccinated and was convinced by his sister-in-law and a family friend to have his  1-month-old son Mohamed circumcised during the same doctor's visit. According to  Me...

Reduce Acid-Forming Proteins to Protect Kidney Function

Chronic kidney disease is a major public health problem affecting about one in eight Americans, increasing the risks of disease and death even among those with only mild decreases in kidney function. Low-cost, low-risk preventive strategies that anyone can do are needed to address the epidemic of kidney disease. I discuss some of these in my video Protein Source: An Acid Test for Kidney Function . Diet plays a role in kidney function decline. “Specifically, diets higher in animal protein, animal fat, and cholesterol” may be associated with protein leakage into the urine, which is a sign of kidney damage, and, generally, “diets higher in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, but lower in meat and sweets, may be protective” against kidney function decline. In comparison to the diet eaten by our ancient ancestors, not only are we eating more saturated fat, sugar, and salt, we now also eat an acid-producing diet, as opposed to a base-producing, or alkaline, diet. Ancestral human diet...
