Synthetic Marijuana Kills
Beware of synthetic marijuana like this popular brand, Spice Diamond.
There is a popular new drug sweeping the country is sold under the brand names of spice, potpourri, or synthetic marijuana. This is a designer drug that is supposed to give a mellow high very similar to the natural plant. It’s popular among drug dealers because they don’t need to take the time to actually grow marijuana.

Longevity Essentials daily multi-vitamins
Dr. Jerry Mixon talks to Margaret Larson on New Day Northwest on the use of vitamin supplements. First it is important to understand that a pill can only contain a certain amount of nutrients and thus does not answer one’s entire health needs through proper food intake and overall diet. At Longevity Medical Clinic, there is an alternative to the “store vitamins”, which far exceeds in quality and efficacy. It is the Longevity Essentials daily multivitamin supplementation. Dr. Mixon explains how Longevity Essentials is a daily packet that contains six pills which contain fifty-six key ingredients of “things I want people to have.” Through charts and slides, Dr. Mixon shares some of these ingredients and clarifies why the packets are especially designed for those 40 and above.

Vitamin D & the Law of Unintended Consequences
In medicine as in so many walks of life, one thing we have to learn over and over is the law of unintended consequences. A series of new studies about vitamin D proves this in spades!
For many years, medical societies and government committees have warned us all to avoid sun exposure as much as possible. These same experts have cautioned us to use sunscreens on a daily basis to minimize the amount of inadvertent sun exposure we get in our day-to-day lives. But a new study indicates that this may be a bad idea, with far-reaching (and completely unintended) health consequences. It’s true that avoiding excess sun exposure and using sunscreen may well minimize your risk of getting malignant melanoma, and can certainly improve the look of your skin as you get older. But since exposure to sunlight causes our bodies to produce vitamin D, all these precautions can dramatically decrease the amount of vitamin D in our systems. These low levels of vitamin D have been linked to

Little Things Count: Kids and Micronutrients
If you know anything about Longevity Medical Clinic, or about me, you know that I typically focus on ways we mature adults can improve our physical, mental and psychological functions during the last half of our lives. Today’s blog is going to be quite a bit different. That’s because, as many of you know, my wife and I recently had a new baby – and like all new parents I want my baby to be as smart, well-educated, happy and successful as possible in her life. So in addition to the usual hours I spend each day reviewing the latest literature describing what happens to us during the aging process, I’ve recently been spending a little time considering the other end of the life spectrum: child development. What I want to know is: what can I do to make my baby daughter’s little brain as robust and resilient as possible?
