Thank you for visiting DrSears.com.  Medicine is not as complicated as we think, and likewise nutrition is not as simple as we are led to believe.  My goal at DrSears.com is to make you think about both medicine and nutrition from a new perspective.  That new perspective is based upon understanding the molecular basis of inflammation.  It’s about how inflammation is the underlying cause of chronic disease, and how our diet can either reduce inflammation or increase it.

In the final analysis, it’s all about your genes,  especially how an anti-inflammatory diet, like the Zone Diet, can turn off inflammatory genes and simultaneously turn on anti-inflammatory genes that promote cellular rejuvenation, repair and healing.  Your ability to control inflammation becomes the molecular definition of wellness.   This is why I hope you will use DrSears.com as your destination site to get the latest breaking information on anti-inflammatory medicine and its impact on 21st-century health care.

Q: I didn't find any literature on Alzheimer’s in your Web site. Is there any reason why? I mean can the Zone method do something relevant against it, especially prevention, or is it just that it is a field where unfortunately the response is poor?
I have read in Dr. Sears’ book that it should help, but on the other hand it’s odd that there is no discussions on the Web about it, when it's spreading very fast and affecting more and more younger people.

Thanks in advance!

A:  I have written extensively on Alzheimer’s and especially on some our experience discussed in “The OmegaRx Zone.” Extensive discussions are detailed on my science site at www.drsears.com.  Zonediet.com sells products; Drsears.com details the science behind the products. Use the search feature and type in Alzheimer’s. There is also a section on neurological diseases under Chronic Disorders.

More than 15 years ago Dr. Sears starting working with Greg Glassman, the founder of CrossFit, to integrate his Zone Diet with the innovative fitness programs Greg was developing for total functional fitness. At the time, the Zone Diet and the CrossFit training methods were both highly controversial since they challenged the basic assumptions of how diet and physical training should be done. Once Greg started introducing the Zone Diet concept into his training program, he immediately recognized the powerful synergism of the two programs. Fast forward to the present.

Five years ago in April at age 45 I was diagnosed with lupus. My doc could not figure out what was causing repeated bouts of increasingly terrible shoulder and back pain. Finally, when suffering so much pain I could barely move, I was taken to the hospital in an ambulance. A CAT scan revealed that I had been suffering from flare-ups of pericarditis for two years. Further tests showed that I had several typical Lupus antibodies. My immune system was attacking the connective tissue surrounding my heart, the pericardium.
