Here is a link to a story on National Public Radio about the "Treat the Numbers Approach" that ties in nicely to Dr. Wright's interview (featured in the April issue of Functional Medicine Update):

Business Week ran an article in their January 17 issue about the effectiveness of statin drugs. You can read the article online by clicking this link:

My colleague, Dr. Bob Lerman, has sent a letter to the editor noting how the article addresses the issue of lifestyle intervention as a first-line approach and encouraging continued focus (both by journalists and clinicians) on this very important area that often receives little coverage.

I had the pleasure of presenting the keynote address on 1/20/2008 at the Scripps Center for Integrative Medicine (their 5th annual conference). My talk was titled "Why the Controversy Concerning the Value of Natural Supplements?" Attached is a press release that was prepared:

Also, I want to call your attention to a posting about vitamin D by my long-time colleague, Dr. Soram Khalsa, that appears on The Huffington Post today:

As I prepared my latest seminar, I came across a couple of things I want to get the word out about.

First, a sobering statistic:

"A 2% improvement in the prevention of chronic disease would avert 36 million needless deaths by 2015 with a gain of about 500 million years of life." (Lancet 2005;366:1578)

Read it again. Let it sink in. Thirty-six million lives at risk due to chronic disease.

Second, here is a link to a PBS documentary on epigenetics called Ghost in Your Genes that I think is really of high quality and value:
