    Abstract Fluorocarbons are fluorinated organic molecules widely used in industry and commerce. Nomenclature has changed over the years, with PFAS becoming the accepted umbrella term. The environment is heavily polluted with these toxins. Worldwide research shows that they contribute to almost every chronic disease. The primary source of human contamination is food packaging. There are significant concerns that the available research has not adequately addressed ultrashort-chain PFAS, which are breakdown products of longer-chain versions and accumulate in the environment at almost 100 times higher concentrations than the longer-chain versions.

    Abstract Chronic low-level exposure to arsenic has a dose-dependent relationship with many chronic diseases. However, the typical arsenic safety standards used by governmental entities and laboratories appear inconsistent with current research. This editorial reviews the research and suggests that the random first-morning-urine total arsenic threshold for increased disease risk should be 5.0 μg/g creatinine or lower.

    Abstract Many strategies were tried by our public health authorities to contain, mitigate, and treat the COVID-19 pandemic. With now 3 years of experience, research is being published that can help us determine what worked, and what did not. Unfortunately, assessing the research is very challenging. Not only are many of the approaches still not rigorously evaluated, but politics and censorship clearly distorted the research and reporting. In this, the first of 2 editorials, I review the research on Physical Strategies, Natural Health Products, and Healthy Lifestyle. In the next editorial I will take on Drugs and Vaccinations.

    Abstract "Unimportant" Molecules?-Part 1 reviewed the research on how the loss from the food supply of molecules that are not considered required nutrients has substantially contributed to the chronic disease epidemic. In Part 2, I present more research on the clinical benefits of dietary and supplemental carotenoids, flavonoids, and other important plant molecules. The research is clear that regularly eating colorful, organically grown foods is required for health.

    Abstract In Parts 1 and 2 of my editorials on "Unimportant Molecules," I reviewed the research on how modern agriculture has seriously distorted the food supply. In this editorial I showed how this oversimplification and lack of recognition of the importance of whole food molecules also illustrates the deep conceptual differences between the reductionistic medical interventionist model and the probabilistic nurturing model of health medicine. I believe we need both approaches, and by understanding the differences we can better integrate perspectives for the best patient outcomes.

    Abstract The alkaloid berberine is a constituent of several medicinal herbs with centuries of use. Emerging research is documenting many effective clinical applications. It has been shown to improve blood sugar control, lower cholesterol, inhibit infectious microorganisms, decrease inflammation, ameliorate inflammatory bowel disease, lower blood pressure, facilitate weight loss, and even inhibit cancer cells. However, it is important to recognize that relying solely on berberine as a treatment because it is a natural molecule ignores the need to address causes of the diseases and dysfunctions the patient is suffering.

    Abstract Nutritional deficiencies are rampant throughout the world. Health care professionals have a unique responsibility and opportunity to help their patients understand the critical impact of nutrition on health. While nutritional supplements are of great clinical benefit, they are not a substitute for eating healthfully. In this editorial I discuss ways to think about nutritional medicine and priorities for educating health care professionals.

    Abstract Mitochondria are required for life, and dysfunction leads to chronic disease and shortened life expectancy. Unfortunately, suboptimal mitochondrial function is very common. While genetic mutations play a role, far more common is the damage from nutrient deficiencies and regular accidental and intentional exposure to mitotoxic metals and chemicals. Alcohol, antibiotics, metals, bisphenols, phthalates, pesticides and herbicides, and statins-the list is long-all impair mitochondrial function. Fortunately, toxins can be avoided and their elimination from the body can be enhanced. In addition, many natural health molecules help protect mitochondria and restore function.

    Abstract The relentless continuation of the COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) pandemic clearly indicates the need to broaden our approach to this serious, worldwide problem. An important factor that has received little attention is the protective role of dietary antiviral flavonoids. Many flavonoids have been shown through molecular docking assays, as well as in silico studies, and in vitro and in vivo studies to inhibit virtually every mechanism needed by SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2) to penetrate cells and hijack molecular processes. These inhibitory effects have shown clinical benefit in a few preliminary studies. In this editorial I present research which makes the case for dietary flavonoids as part of the solution to the COVID-19 pandemic.

    Abstract For almost two centuries, disease-treatment medicine has dominated healthcare. This has resulted in many benefits, especially for acute infections, injuries, acute life-threatening disease, congenital malformations, etc. However, we have also seen a parallel and relentless increase in chronic disease. In fact, we now suffer the highest burden of virtually every chronic disease in every age group ever in human history. Why? It is not because disease-treatment medicine is wrong, but rather because it is incomplete. Today's healthcare is missing
