Dear Lynne and Bryan,

I've been very busy with the marketing of my new book, "Why Love Heals", so I haven't joined in to leave a comment on your blog recently. But I just had to chime in today. You know that my research concluded that cancer patients lived longer because they felt listened to, cared for, and supported. This coincided with earlier heart disease research - especially from James Lynch and Dean Ornish. After more than 30 years of research - both concluded that loneliness is the underlying cause of heart disease and high blood pressure. People need heart felt dialogue. They need to feel heard and understood. This is why a doctor's "bedside manner" leads to better patient outcomes. I've collected a fair amount of evidence in my new book to explain why love heals. Unfortunately most medical schools still don't require their medical students to study the basic wellness components of nutrition, exercise, and stress management - let alone something as esoteric as "friendships", social ties, or love!

Keep up the good work,

Dean

Why is no-one at WDDTY focusing on Niacin? Dr Parsons` book the Niacin Solution recounts how since 1955 niacin has produced far better results than statins --I can testify to this. It also records how the drug industry elbowed niacin aside. Can WDDTY commisssion an article from Dr Parsons?

I have been involved heavily in promoting the health benefits of chocolate now for nearly 2 years and I am surprised at the amount of people that still don't know anything about the natural healing power of unprocessed chocolate. Its full of antioxidants, 3 little squares are equivelant to 12lbs of tomatoes so for all of us out there that don't eat enough vegetables who wouldn't benefit from eating this chocolate.

Dr Steve Warren MD DPA promotes the benefits via a weblink and ebooks on my site and Dr Mary Engler did a lecture on the benefits of Dark unprocessed chocolate on the heart. There are still trials going on, while people are still showing how its helped improve their cholesterol, cardiovascular, neuro, pain/inflammation. There are clinical trial going on to see how it effects people with Parkinson's disease. A company has finally come up with one that is all natural called Xocai which I take daily to prevent my migraines. It's so simple it has to be tried first before you can knock it.
