We are heading full steam ahead into the fall season which means holidays, starting with candy-coma-induced Halloween. Then comes Thanksgiving with its pumpkin and pecan pies, followed by the humdinger of all celebrations, Christmas. All this after you’ve probably had more ice cream than usual this summer due to the record-breaking heat.

At some point your body is going to rebel if it hasn’t already. The mysterious aches and pains that go undiagnosed by your traditional doctor often turn out to be symptoms of The Yeast Syndrome.

You see, C. albicans is a yeast that naturally lives in the body, primarily in our intestines and mouths. Other gut microorganisms help us digest and absorb nutrition. However, certain factors like the over-consumption of sugars and carbs, may lead to overgrowth of yeast, which do not appear to be helpful. Also, the overconsumption of alcohol, which is basically sugar, carbohydrates such as bread, potatoes, pasta, and cereals also feed the yeast.

For some people, there is an endless stream of food and the yeast has an endless feast. This is how the yeast basically takes over wreaking havoc inside the body. It goes wild and produces toxins by which it chokes off the natural flow of health, causing or worsening a variety of conditions. You may experience skin issues in the form of infections or rashes, vaginal or rectal infections, mood swings, depression, digestive issues, nail infections, and/or exhaustion. And THAT is just a short list of all the human discomforts, distresses, and ailments that I documented from the medical literature in my 1986 Bantam bestseller, The Yeast Syndrome.

You don’t have to fall for all the suffering associated with the feasting. With specific help to make it much easier, you could learn to exercise some control by finding out the root of the aches and pains you’ve been suffering from without relief for too long. Give my office a call. We’ll get to the real source of your suffering, and you’ll learn how to rise to every occasion for celebration in a way that celebrates your health. You could go on for another few years, hoping to find a doctor to help with your many problems, but why? Contact us today – your joyful, comfortable, and more capable future is just around the corner.

JOHN PARKS TROWBRIDGE

There is no question that all of us want the best for total patient care. A great number of professionals now accept the team concept as the only way to satisfactorily meet patient needs. Podiatry is still suffering from a lack of visibility in the health care scene, and this diminishes its opportunity for full participation on the team.

Consider, as an example, the crowd around a movie theater snack bar during intermission. There is no defined line, and people are pressing up against the long counter trying to get the attention of the two or three people manning the snack bar. Often, how aggressive you are determines how soon you will eat. By analogy, a patient is like the person behind the snack bar counter—numbers of physicians and other health personnel are available to offer their services to the patient. Since there are comparatively few podiatrists, most patients have an overwhelmingly greater chance of contacting health care professionals other than podiatrists. In addition, the few podiatrists can get lost in the shuffle of misunderstanding—podiatrics isn’t pediatrics, and chiropody isn’t chiropractic.

Now is the time to establish the high visibility that is needed and to correct misconceptions by the patient public and practicing physicians. If you can intensify efforts to reach the critical mass, the ensuing reaction will firmly establish podiatry as a co-responsible branch of medical practice in the total care of the patient.

Why do I say that now is the time?

  • Podiatric education has blossomed in the past ten years.

  • The new SAMA liaison has provided access to the major groups in medical affairs.

  • HMO’s and prepaid group practices are coming into prominence.

  • PSRO holds innumerable unanswered questions for the near future.

  • Licensure and certification procedures are being actively debated in allopathic circles.

These are converging on the medical scene and now is the time for podiatry to impress fully upon the minds of physicians and the patient public that foot problems are the specialty of the podiatrist.

I see three issues as important in assembling this critical mass: organize, humanize and educate.

*Address presented before the APA House of Delegates, Atlanta, August 1974.
Junior Medical Student, Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, and National Trustee at-large, Student American Medical Association.


Organize

By organize, I mean develop long range goals and immediate actions.

We must integrate podiatry into the mainstream of American medicine. In our current system, the only way podiatry can fully participate in total patient care is by its acceptance as a functional, separate professional field of medical practice.

The thing that literally distinguishes “foot specialists” from “eye specialists” is that the former train for and receive a D.P.M., while the latter train for and receive an M.D. Certain elements and emphasis of their training and advanced experience admittedly are different, but the basic problem with acceptance of D.P.M.’s is that they are not in “The Club.” To enlarge “The Club” beyond the limitations of a single membership card, you will have to negotiate with the AMA, AOA, American Hospital Association, Joint Commission on Accreditation of Hospitals, and of course, the orthopedists.

I urge you to continue your efforts to adopt comprehensive, long-range, sweeping strategies—to determine short-range, immediate actions—and to utilize to fullest advantage the APSA-SAMA channels.

SAMA has liaisons to major AMA councils and commissions, to the American Academy of Family Physicians, and other major organizations. Our liaisons are charged with presenting SAMA’s concerns for agenda consideration at these various meetings. All that remains now is for the APA to work closely with the APSA and SAMA National Liaisons to see in what new ways podiatrists can bring their concerns to the somber halls of the AMA and other organizations.

SAMA, as the largest independent organization representing American’s allopathic medical students, has given fullest blessings to enhancing the professional relationship between allopathy and podiatry. Since we can introduce items to committee consideration, the leaders of American medicine must listen to our views.

When formulating the long-range goals, give due consideration to the possibility that podiatry might introduce a wholly novel and exciting dimension to medical education. With your efforts, in 20 or 30 years your schools might combine basic and specialty training into one continuum, whereby your students could receive an M.D. degree with certification as a specialist in foot care. It gives me a “heady” feeling to realize that senior podiatrists could be training a new kind of practitioner, one who would graduate from school with training that M.D.’s now wait to acquire in their residencies. These professionals could be the elite in a dramatically changing medical educational system—and you hold the potential for those changes right here. You are the foot specialists of today who train those of tomorrow.

Organize as you see fit, then turn to your student channels to see in what ways the contacts that they have formed and nurtured can help right now to advance the profession.


Humanize

My second topic is to humanize.

Perhaps this seems a strange item at first thought, but not so much so when you consider that we all are together in the business of helping people. And helping and people are very human words.

The new breed of practitioners and students are wrenching the superstructure of health care training and practice—and with good reason. All of us are familiar with how the phenomenal upsurge of technology has led to what some term the “dehumanization” of the patient. I prefer to think of it as treating the disease but not the illness, of focusing on the pathology but not the person.

In podiatry you have a distinct opportunity to demonstrate human compassion in the practice of medicine. Some jestingly say, “Let the podiatrist take care of the corns, calluses, and ingrown nails.” Let us put aside for a moment even the elegant surgical procedures of podiatry. Instead, just concentrate on the “trivial” problems that can be of paramount concern for the patient as a person.

Reflect on your patients who were in otherwise good health but who could not easily move from bed to toilet or who could not easily move about in the kitchen. Each was as seriously ill as is someone with dramatic muscular or metabolic disease.

Podiatric research and practice have given us today the ability to take aggressive action to restore function, to relieve discomfort, and thereby to reinstill some of the vitality of living as an independent human being.

As physicians, we all see so much horrifying pathology that we drift into forgetting how debilitating seemingly trivial conditions can be. The technology is so complex for major restoration that we often focus our attention entirely there. Let us remember to pause with each person, to consider his needs, to reflect on how we have helped him, to suggest how he can best help himself. So when I say “humanize,” you can see that we are all into what medicine—and living—are really about.


Educate

Let me remind you that I am a student. Educational issues are a daily part of my life. I am one of the practitioners of the future—so my thoughts today are some indication of how physicians will think tomorrow. Again, please indulge me some personal observations.

The idea of education is three-fold—you need to address:

  1. The patient public

  2. The allopathic practitioners

  3. Your younger colleagues and students

Educating the Patient Public

In educating the patient public, the major issue is visibility. We must share with others just what podiatry is and what it can do. Each of you can personally, actively bring the message to people in their everyday activities—in the schools, at PTA meetings, in factories, at bowling leagues.

As an organization, you must continue to develop media presentations of a public service nature for television, radio and magazines.

In your daily practice, continue to subscribe to standards of care that emphasize patient education. Every patient should become well aware not only of his particular foot problems, but also of how you as a podiatrist contribute to his total health care.

Educating Allopathic Practitioners

In educating allopathic practitioners, again the issue is visibility. A basic tenet is that no one seeks learning that he does not realize he needs. Your responsibility is to demonstrate where and how podiatry fits into the team concept of total patient care.

Liaison with local medical societies and groups will help take the “unknown” dimensions out of podiatry. You will become familiar as a person and as a podiatric medical practitioner. This familiarity is a critical part of medicine.

Physicians and patients alike are much more comfortable in referrals made to colleagues who are personally known and respected as individuals. Likewise, your referrals can become more firmly based on personal knowledge of which allopathic physicians give special care to people with diabetes or with joint diseases, as well as recognizing which physicians are good persons.

Your participation in HMO’s, group clinics, and hospital services will go far to establish these professional bonds. Practitioners who respect the quality of your work-ups in referral to them will be more inclined to send other patients to you. Physicians who appreciate a well evaluated referral will encourage the patient to return to you for continued management of his foot problems.

Many other points could be made about integration with the mainstream of medicine, but the issue of quality medical work-ups leads directly to my last topic.

Educating Students and Younger Colleagues

In educating your students and younger colleagues, the emphasis must be toward the future. As with all else, the basic guideline is to do what is required for patient care.

“Just a foot doctor” and “doesn’t practice medicine” have been jestingly used with reference to podiatrists. It is important to remember as practitioners that the feet are indeed attached to myriad systems above the malleoli. A podiatrist is responsible for assessing how these other systems relate not only to problems with the feet but also to a patient’s total health as well.

If I were a student of podiatric medicine today, I would very much want my educational programs to be tailored so that:

  • Every podiatrist would use a blood pressure cuff routinely to assess circulatory function.

  • Every podiatrist would use an ophthalmoscope routinely to assess peripheral vessel status and to detect unrealized changes in refraction.

  • Every podiatrist would use a stethoscope routinely to rule out readily detectable abnormalities of cardiac function.

  • Every podiatrist would use tuning forks routinely to assess total body sensory function and to detect unrecognized deterioration of hearing.

  • Every podiatrist would use urine test-sticks routinely to screen for potentially devastating renal and metabolic diseases.

These are but a few of the practices required by the philosophy of contributing to total patient care.

When you refer a person for further diagnosis and treatment, the notation of a complete work-up can contribute substantially to patient welfare. This will assist the recognition of podiatry as a responsible professional branch of medicine. Additionally, it will favor your continuing participation in the management of foot problems as they relate to a patient’s overall physical status.

How a student or younger colleague learns is as important as what he learns. Residency training is virtually essential in the medicine of today. The art of medicine is a certain style of practice. That style is embodied in the application of basic knowledge in ways that are best transmitted through repeated observation and practice under experienced tutelage.

Continue your efforts to provide for your youth expanded opportunities—both externships and residencies. HMO’s and prepaid group practice situations might offer immediate solutions to this need.

The lessons to be learned from senior practitioners—lessons of both medical and business practices—cannot readily be grasped in any other way. I urge you, in realization of this, to give formal speciality recognition to further training.

Continuing education should be a habit you pass on early to your younger colleagues, so that all podiatrists remain abreast of the technology that is required for delivery of the finest health care. Where possible, joint seminars with dermatologists, ophthalmologists, physiatrists, orthopedists, and others—including students of allopathic and osteopathic medicine—will serve best the educational interests of all the groups involved.

Free-standing schools of allopathic medicine some years ago found that association with major universities strengthened both their academic and economic situations. Consider, in your long range goals, whether you can afford private unaffiliated schools.

Many more schools are needed when you consider that four hundred million feet are wandering around and only 8000 podiatrists are available. In the push for more schools of podiatric medicine, strive to maintain and improve on the quality to which your schools have risen in the past ten years.

Continue your efforts to recruit the brightest and best among you to serve as professors for your students. Fine teachers can inspire the idealism of youth to seek practical ways to maintain enthusiasm and zest through many years of service to their fellowmen. Only you can realistically impart this unique feeling, and thus it is a major responsibility you bear.

Always be mindful that the decisions you make today will dramatically affect your students in their practices of tomorrow.


Conclusion

As I close, let me emphasize how critical the decisions are that you will make regarding the training and practice of podiatry. Continue to give your students and young colleagues a growing voice in their own future. Their future is the fruit of your life’s labors.

The time is right for students of podiatry to actively work with you in assembling that critical mass that I referred to at the beginning. The opportunities are there, the interest is there, and they need your support. They need your trust, your encouragement, your advice, your efforts, and very much so they need your financial backing.

Please work with them. Share with them their enthusiasm and vision for the changes for the future. Give them your time and the benefits of your experience.

If you will permit me to paraphrase—put your money where your youth is.

I wrote the bestselling Bantam book, The Yeast Syndrome, in 1986. Yet, even today most symptoms of yeast overgrowth still go unrecognized, unacknowledged, and undiagnosed by mainstream medical professionals. And, in fact, many of the medications these professionals prescribe contribute to the continuous overgrowth of the yeast, C. albicans, which is a type of fungus that appears naturally in the mouth and intestines. This failure to recognize the condition and poor diet are primarily responsible for so much pain and suffering that could quickly be alleviated with correctly understanding the infection, allowing for diagnosis and treatment.

Undiagnosed Yeast Can Grow Out Of Control

After years of overgrowth, yeast can move into the blood stream resulting in deep blood fungus, often with unexpected species growing inside. The aches and pains and severe health conditions that arise as a result are also not often properly diagnosed and treated. You have to ask yourself: “Could a fungus infection deep inside my body be the cause of—or at least be contributing to—my suffering and declining health?”

Often a patient will see several doctors for their symptoms–which may be a wide array of things involving virtually every bodily system. However, no matter the doctor and what their answer is, the patient comes back with no improvement and the same problem!

When You’re Tired Of The Medical Merry-Go-Round, We’re Ready For You

At Life Celebrating Health, we’ve been blazing trails in identifying these problems. Since the fall of 2015, sometimes we’ve been able to positively identify specific fungi in addition to C. albicans, found in the blood of patients suffering with a wide range of “inexplicable” diseases. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) are fully aware of the problem even though the condition is not widely acknowledged or treated by primary care physicians.

Here’s what the CDC has to say about yeast. “Invasive candidiasis is an infection caused by a yeast (a type of fungus) called Candida. Unlike Candida infections in the mouth and throat (also called “thrush”) or vaginal “yeast infections,” invasive candidiasis – and other species as well – is a serious infection that can affect the blood, heart, brain, eyes, bones, and other parts of the body. Candidemia, a bloodstream infection with Candida, is an increasingly common infection in hospitalized patients.”

They go on to say, “What makes it even more difficult is that many people who develop invasive candidiasis are often already sick from other medical conditions, so it can be difficult to know which symptoms are related to a Candida infection. However, the most common symptoms of invasive candidiasis are fever and chills that don’t improve after antibiotic treatment for suspected bacterial infections. Other symptoms can develop if the infection spreads to other parts of the body, such as the heart, brain, eyes, bones, or joints.”

At Life Celebrating Health, we’ve been helping thousands of patients return to vibrant health and we would love to do the same for you. If you’re ready to take control of your health by stepping off the medical merry-go-round, we’re here for you. Your body wants to heal as much as you want to feel better. Let’s work together and make it happen. Give us a call today, so you can look forward to a more joyful future.

Perhaps you have finally arrived at a fork in the road: you’ve reached the painful conclusion that the path you have been on for many years, thinking it would lead to a pain-free life, is not what you thought it would be. In fact, it is riddled with pain and eats up your time with endless visits to one medical “specialist” after another. How much longer will you continue down this path? How much is enough before you veer off the mainstream medical path and explore working with a physician who has literally created a path that leads to pain-free living by really getting to the source of the pain, without surgery, and without a medicine cabinet filled with prescription drugs?

Whether you have been living with chronic back pain – which keeps millions of people committed to the mainstream medical merry-go-round hoping for relief – or any other kind of chronic pain/illness that no specialist seems to know how to end/cure. Most people just trust their doctors, and why wouldn’t they? How would you know if the recommended treatment is what you need? After all, the doctor simply said, “You need a cortisone shot” – or a “steroid shot” – or a “corticosteroid.” Or they say, “You need surgery.” So many people have multiple shots and multiple surgeries. And they still live in pain.

The doctors don’t typically tell you the serious side effects that cortisone could have, changing your body permanently. Most mainstream doctors don’t talk about the amazing healing system that is the human body. We are self-healing beings. When a doctor takes the time to understand a patient’s history and get to the source of the problem and then work with the self-healing human body, it’s amazing how quickly real healing happens.

Are you ready to give this approach a try? If you are, give my office a call. This is the only approach I have taken for over 40 years giving my patients a life that celebrates health – not simply with relieving pain but also with correcting many other distresses and discomforts that stress your life beyond belief. Time to “start believing” that help is actually within your reach, right now!

The post Hang In There: The Dog Days Of Summer Are Almost Over appeared first on John Parks Trowbridge, M.D..

It’s difficult to discuss any other health topic in the face of this summer’s historically hot weather. We are enduring the last week or so of the Dog Days of Summer. According to The Farmer’s Almanac, the dog days of summer are so called because the “dog star”, Sirius the brightest star visible from any part of the earth, rises and sets with the sun, starting around July 3rd and ending on or about August 11th. And while the ancient Greeks once thought the summer heat was due to the additional heat radiated from Sirius, it has since been proven that is not the fact. The heat of summer is simply due to the Earth’s tilt at this time of year. I’m sure everyone is hoping the heat wave will break by the 11th.

Take Extra Precautions

One thing we know for sure, the weather this summer has been dog-gone hot. I’ve heard news reports saying this is one of the hottest summers on record. Anyone with compromised immune systems, heart conditions, as well as the elderly must take greater precautions during these hottest of days. And with kids heading back to school, it’s important they drink plenty of water to prevent heat stroke when they are out during recess or playing sports.

Here in Texas, during the month of June, a sample of 38 weather stations across the state recorded a temperature at or above 100 degrees 250 times — the fifth-greatest monthly total for that month in the past three decades. Austin recorded 25 days above 100 degrees in July. Let’s hope we get even a slight reprieve mid-August.

The Weather Has A Profound Effect On Health

We often forget how much the weather affects our health. It turns out that there are more heat-related deaths than there are deaths from any other weather-related disasters. Yes, even hurricanes. Which brings me to the fact that while we are deep into hurricane season, we have fortunately not had to deal with that kind of storm this summer. The heat is bad enough. Thank you very much.

Please continue to take proper precautions if you must go outside even if it’s just a quick run to the grocery store. Precautions include wearing a wide-brimmed hat, having a container of cool water when you go out, and wearing sunscreen. Of course, if your health is compromised do not go out alone if you don’t have to. Call on a friend or family member to help you. And remember, we live at a time when you can have groceries and meals delivered right to your door.

If you feel like your health could be better and you’re tired of the run around you’ve been getting with the many specialists you’ve been passed around to, give my office a call. I’ve been helping my patients achieve better states of health for almost 45 years – and that’s after they’ve been continually mis-diagnosed by the mainstream medical industry. A visit to my office is worth it even with the heat.

Let’s work together to help you get through the summer and to a place where you can celebrate health … for many more delightful years to come, with your spouse, your friends, your children and grandchildren!

Unprecedented heat is taking its toll throughout the entire world this summer of 2023. Across the U.S. we have, as of this writing, experienced 39 consecutive days with the heat index well over 100 degrees. Even those in tip-top shape are at risk when spending extended periods of time in this excessive heat. If you are elderly or if your health is compromised in any way you are especially vulnerable to the higher temperatures. If you’re “out” enjoying sports or “gotta-get-done” chores, heat-related issues can sneak up on you quite easily.

Temperature extremes most directly affect health by compromising the body’s ability to regulate its internal temperature. Loss of internal temperature control can result in various illnesses, including heat cramps, heat exhaustion, heatstroke, and hyperthermia from extreme heat events.
It’s important to stay hydrated. I mean with WATER and appropriate salt if you are sweating enough, not with sweet tea, sugary drinks, or milk shakes. Good old H2O is what the body needs to maintain temperature control.

Certain health conditions are more prone to flare up in heat than others. For instance, people with arthritis often report that heat has an adverse effect on their condition (although some claim they feel better!). Also, those with autoimmune conditions, fibromyalgia, and migraines, need to be extra cautious in the heat. In addition, respiratory illnesses are also particularly vulnerable to excessive heat. This year, it’s not just the heat we are dealing with. We also have smoke in the air from Canada and California. This is one summer that is too hot to handle. And dust in the air from the Sahara. So please, stay smart. Stay hydrated. And stay inside if you can. And remember that water is your body’s best friend – and sweating increases your need for salt … yes, it’s a dance to coordinate with your doctor.

If you have compromised health conditions and are ready to look for the real cause of your condition instead of taking more medications or scheduling more surgeries, give my office a call. The conditions I mentioned above may be indications that you are suffering as a result of (or perhaps worsened by) The Yeast Syndrome. I’ve been helping my patients achieve better states of health when they’ve been diagnosed by the mainstream medical industry with even more serious conditions for almost 45 years. Let’s work together to help you get through the summer and to a place where you can celebrate health … for many more delightful years to come, with your spouse, your friends, your children and grandchildren!

The Yeast Syndrome is the archetypal example of how our modern medical approach has succumbed to the Law of Unintended Consequences. Our almost blind reliance in adopting the claims of “scientific advances” has led us down the path where convenient choices have produced complications both unintended and unforeseen, apart from the desired advantages.

Environmental conditions have set the stage for the overgrowth of yeast, almost unhampered by natural defenses that have protected human beings for millennia. Remember: yeast is not the problem…our compromised immune system allows us to be inundated by toxins that progressively damage our physiology, nutritional status, and endocrine functions…and we succumb in ways never seen before.

Bacteria, Microbes and Yeasts

Back in the late 1800’s, scientists Pasteur, Bernard, and Béchamp, blessed us with new understandings about microbes. Over 100 years later, Alabama internist Orian Truss, MD, from 1978 through the 1984 publication of his book, The Missing Diagnosis, gave us deeper insights into the physiologic interruptions possible when yeast toxins are elaborated from pathologic growth in our gut, our lungs, our sinuses, creating and worsening unsuspected damage to all organs.

The Key Factors of How We Become “Sick” With Yeast Overgrowth

A = antibiotics, widely used, often abused – and since microbiome replenishment is ignored, this leads to reduction of “good” bacteria that could help control and reduce yeast growth
B = birth control pills – widely uses, hormonal disruption favoring yeast growth
C = cortisone – in all its flavors – widely used, even over the counter for topical – always favoring yeast growth
D = deplorable diet –sugars and starches favor yeast growth and nutritional deficiencies impair immune defenses and other systems
E = environmental toxins – we’re engulfed in more of them every year
F = full of stress lifestyles – surging of stress hormones alerts yeast to an organism facing challenges, ideal for yeast exploitation
G = genetic predispositions – some people more readily surrender to attack
H = health habits adverse to recovery and repair: reduced sleep, on-the-go hurry hurry, and so much more (20% of America’s meals are eaten in the car!)

We human beings can withstand many challenges when healthier and “all systems are GO”; but when circumstances alter the situation, the ever-present yeast (especially C. albicans) are aroused to grow more readily. Each “event” encourages yeast to flourish more, and finally body systems are unable to meet the threat as debilitating yeast metabolites and toxins (Canditoxins) flood your cells and organs. Sounds crazy…but medical studies published over the last 50 years show an alarming disaster happening.

Wouldn’t You Love To Celebrate Your Own Health Again

If you have been making the rounds on the medical-merry-go-round without any definitive diagnosis or without feeling better, give my office a call. Since first learning of the disastrous effects of yeast overgrowth in 1983, I have gleaned a few fundamental understandings that have been uniformly effective in helping to restore and maintain better health for people suffering from varied discomforts and disorders. Even where The Yeast Syndrome is not the definitive problem, in many chronic conditions its imprints are often there. Failure to address yeast overgrowth as well will generally limit the results available when treating other pathologies. You could be suffering from one or more of the many effects of the Yeast Syndrome and never have anyone notice that could be a root cause of your suffering. Give my office a call and let’s get you feeling better. Let’s get you in a position where you can celebrate health once again!

Dr. John Trowbridge, Marquis Who’s Who Top Doctor in Advanced Medicine, and the Recipient of The Marquis Who’s Who Lifetime Achievement Award discusses the effects of yeast overgrowth in the body and how it is often not recognized my mainstream medical professionals.

HOUSTON. TX, June ••, 2023: Dr. John Trowbridge, Marquis Who’s Who Top Doctor in Advanced Medicine and the recipient of the Marquis Who’s Who Lifetime Achievement Award, posted a new blog on his website entitled, “Taming Your Inner Yeast,” in which Dr. Trowbridge returns to one of his favorite topics, about which he has lectured around the world.

According to Dr. Trowbridge, “What happens far too often is that a person will see several doctors for a variety of different symptoms and be treated without having a clear understanding or diagnosis of the “problem” and without seeing improvement. In cases like this,” he adds, “my professional experience suggests it is very likely to be a problem of “yeast” overgrowth.”

Dr. Trowbridge explains, “While everyone has yeast, Candida, living in our intestines and our mouths, which might help us digest and absorb nutrients, there are certain factors that may lead to the overgrowth of this naturally occurring yeast. Such an imbalance in the gut microbiome can lead to a variety of problems that are usually not detected by mainstream medical professionals.” He elaborates, “High stress, high sugar, and carbohydrate consumption, eating fermented foods, drinking alcohol, and more, are just some activities that can lead to yeast overgrowth, which I call The Yeast Syndrome.”

As Dr. Trowbridge notes, “This overgrowth of yeast can cause or worsen a variety of conditions. One may experience skin issues or rashes, vaginal or rectal infections, irritability, mood swings, depression, digestive issues, exhaustion, or skin and nail infections. When left undiagnosed and not correctly treated over the long-term, The Yeast Syndrome can also complicate or perhaps even lead to the development of heart disease, diabetes, and more.”

About Dr. John Parks Trowbridge

Finding answers and effective treatments in these troubled times can seem almost impossible. Almost. A doctor with exceptional training, experience, and skill might be the solution you’ve desperately been seeking. Recognized across the country and around the world for his innovative approach to healing, Dr. Trowbridge and his devoted support staff of dozens of years are committed to a simple slogan: “Find it now – Fix it right!
A growing number of practitioners – many not even physicians – profess to offer various “alternative” treatments. Very few, however, have lectured around the world, have chaired and presented at dozens of conferences, have written scores of educational articles, have produced over 50 CDs and DVDs to make tests and treatments understandable, and even have authored best-selling books. Quite simply, Dr. Trowbridge now accepts as patients only those few who finally are insistent on finding and treating the cause for their problems – through listening to your detailed history, a hands-on physical exam, selective cutting-edge tests beyond “the usual,” and novel reasoning that can explain why you are suffering and devise personalized programs to restore your better health for years to come. Regardless of your problems. Many promise, few deliver.

Biological sciences as a National Merit Scholar at Stanford, graduate studies in immunology starting in 1968, research in vaccine technology from 1967-1970, medical studies at Case Western Reserve, graduate training in general and urological surgery, master’s diploma in nutritional and preventive medicine, extensive studies with leading physicians, Senior Aviation Medical Examiner for the FAA, medical director for a mold remediation company, focus on infections resulting from obscure molds/fungi/bacteria/parasites/viruses, research and writing and practice to address puzzling diseases that have evaded diagnosis and treatment. Dr. Trowbridge brings to bear this vast background in discovering the root causes of suffering and designing effective ways to help each and every patient. Never assume that drugs or surgery are the only options you have for finally feeling better. Dozens of years leading professional associations have provided the platform to share his many innovations with physicians around the world.

Helping to get people out of their pain and on with their lives, Dr. Trowbridge’s non-surgical treatments have helped relieve suffering for dozens of years: arthritis, neck and back pains, joint pains, accidents, sports injuries. An expert in heavy metal toxicology, his leading “chelation therapy” programs remove lead, arsenic, mercury and more, to revitalize the lives of patients with assorted degenerative conditions. Two patients were removed from the heart transplant list as they unexpectedly recovered. While “detox” is now a popular theme in modern culture, his career-long strategies have given a powerful definition to the recovery of vibrant health.
Intent on sharing his innovative diagnostic and treatment perspectives, Dr. Trowbridge has been honored as an invited lecturer in Taiwan, Brazil, Canada, Mexico, and across the States. His patients travel from far and wide, frustrated with still feeling sick and tired despite the best of conventional care and hopeful, finally, for relief. Those who cannot easily travel have been helped with teleconsultations on the phone, with testing and treatments very similar to many of those available through the office.

He attributes his practice success to a simple unwavering devotion: pose challenging questions and actively seek out practical answers. Dr. Trowbridge has been honored for his expertise by being featured on the June 2022 cover of Townsend Letter, the premier journal of alternative medicine, and his landmark article, “Sill Missing the Yeast Diagnosis?” appears in the June and July editions (www.townsendletter.com). You can read this and many more articles, watch or listen to some 5 dozen DVDs and CDs on his website: www.healthCHOICESnow.com – because if you don’t know that you have choices now, then you don’t have any!
Expounding on his passion and success in discovering and developing effective treatments for desperate patients has led to Editor’s Choice awards for chapters in books co-authored with luminaries Jack Canfield, Brian Tracy, and Larry King. The Yeast Syndrome, published by Bantam Books, continues to be a bestseller since 1986. Appointments are limited – To see if you might qualify for customized care and caring at Life Celebrating Health near Houston, Texas, DIAL 1-800-FIX-PAIN.

What happens far too often is that a person will see several doctors for a variety of different symptoms and be treated without having a clear understanding or diagnosis of the “problem” and without seeing improvement. In cases like this, my professional experience suggests it is very likely to be a problem of “yeast” overgrowth.

While everyone has yeast, Candida, living in our intestines and our mouths, which might help us digest and absorb nutrients, there are certain factors that may lead to the overgrowth of this naturally occurring yeast. Such an imbalance in the gut microbiome can lead to a variety of problems that are usually not detected by mainstream medical professionals. High stress, high sugar, and carbohydrate consumption, eating fermented foods, drinking alcohol and more, are just some activities that can lead to yeast overgrowth, which I call The Yeast Syndrome.

This overgrowth of yeast can cause or worsen a variety of conditions. One may experience skin issues or rashes, vaginal or rectal infections, irritability, mood swings, depression, digestive issues, exhaustion, or skin and nail infections. When left undiagnosed and not correctly treated over the long-term, The Yeast Syndrome can also complicate or perhaps even lead to the development of heart disease, diabetes, and more. So many of our illness problems are interrelated, yet they are treated as separate “conditions” by most medical professionals (remember “specialists”). I can assure you though, that properly diagnosing and taking care of The Yeast Syndrome could solve or improve many health issues and even some that you haven’t yet experienced.

In 1986, I wrote the book on taming the inner yeast. It is simply called, The Yeast Syndrome. Bantam Books still publishes it today, as a continuing favorite. For 40 years now, I have been helping patients otherwise frustrated with the lack of improvement they’ve received on the mainstream medical merry-go-round to recover their health and the joy of living. If you are still suffering from symptoms that have not been helped, give my office a call and let’s get to the root of your health issues. Let’s find out if you have an overgrowth of inner yeast that needs to be tamed. Trust me…it will be a lot easier now than it could be later.

Dr. John Trowbridge, Marquis Who’s Who Top Doctor in Advance Medicine, and the Recipient of The Marquis Who’s Who Lifetime Achievement Award, repeats Dr. C. Everett Koops message that, “you can’t medicate your way out of a condition you ate yourself into.”

HOUSTON. TX, June 13, 2023: Dr. John Trowbridge, Marquis Who’s Who Top Doctor in Advanced Medicine and the recipient of the Marquis Who’s Who Lifetime Achievement Award, posted a new article on his website entitled, “Summer Festivals, Carnivals, Cookouts And Food Comas.” Dr. Trowbridge keeps his focus on diet as everyone gets excited for summer..

Dr. Trowbridge states, “As we all know, Memorial Day Weekend is the unofficial start of the summer season. It’s also the beginning of summer festivals throughout the country.” He continues, “Can’t you just see, smell, and almost taste all those carnival treats? The cloudlike swirls of cotton candy, the sweet smell of nuts roasted and covered in sugar, thick doughy pretzels, ice cream and more!” He then asks, “Can you remember how you felt the last time you indulged in those tempting taste sensations? Think about it. Did you end up calling your doctor because you felt like you were having a heart attack? Or maybe you had to take some bubble-gum pink digestive aid. Chances are,” Dr. Trowbridge writes, “you probably didn’t feel like going for a swim, a hike, or a vigorous bike ride. In fact, maybe you’ve been enjoying your lifestyle so much that you don’t even consider putting on a bathing suit anymore. Chances are you probably headed home for a nap before the next feeding, which is not likely to be a fresh, crisp salad.”

“My whole point,” Dr. Trowbridge explains, “is that summertime brings with it a whole new set of temptations that to some people seem irresistible. People eat themselves into food comas and don’t understand why they feel so bad.” He writes, “This sends them running straight into the arms of the many doctors and medical professionals that are going to prescribe another pill or even possibly suggest a surgery. The mainstream medical professionals rarely tell you what not to eat. Oh, they might say you should lose a few pounds, but that’s about as far as they typically go. In reality,” he insists, “modern science has shown us that so much more is involved, so much more is at stake – and that these concerns can be improved.”
