Dr. Randy Wysong's Articles in Fitness

  • Fish Oil
    Omega-3 fatty acids from fish oils and other natural sources provide many health benefits. The predominance of grains in modern diets has shifted the fatty acid balance and contributed to many modern degenerative diseases.
  • Feminizing The World
    A variety of female hormone pollutants being released into the environment not only increase the risk of cancer but result in sexual dysfunction and aberrations.
  • Fatty Acid Pathways
    Fatty acids exist in the body primarily as triglycerides and phospholipids. Phospholipids make up the bilipid membrane of cells and the membranes of organelles within the cytoplasm.
  • Experience
    Although experience is the best teacher in life, the wise are able to learn from other's mistakes and greatly accelerate their progress.
  • Exercise
    We are designed for daily exercise. In the wild if we did not exercise we would not eat, but in our modern world it is a choice. There is virtually no aspect of health that is not benefited by it but if it is done improperly it can also ruin health.
  • Evolutionary Theory Harms Health
    Evolution creates a belief. Belief creates action. In health care, evolutionary belief assumes that which is not true: that we are just an amalgam of parts and pieces that can be modified, removed or replaced without consequence.
  • Essential Fatty Acids
    Linoleic and linolenic acid contain omega-6 and 3 bonds and are necessary for mammalian metabolism. These two fatty acids are there­fore essential fatty acids (EFA) and must be supplied by the diet.
  • Dollars Don’t Make Health
    The medical community has developed expensive band-aids that do nothing but cover the problem and not solve the underlying causes. Doctors have long known that most disease comes through improper lifestyle choices but because of financial pressures issue prescriptions instead of life-saving advice. Americans now spend over $1.5 trillion annually on medical care. There is no end in sight to rising costs. From the medical community’s standpoint, why should there be? If you have a cash cow you milk it for all it is worth.
  • Dietary Approach
    The goal of achieving optimal fatty acid nutrition must be approached by altering the fatty acid composition of the day-to-day meal pattern.
  • Determinism
    Materialists believe that all the energy and matter in the universe is governed by physical laws. Since evolution presumes materialism is all there is, and denies the quite evident presences of free will their foundation crumbles. Your free choice to believe in evolution would be the very act that denies its validity.
  • Decency
    In our age of freedoms it becomes ever harder to draw lines. But if standards are not adhered to society is threatened by a moral meltdown. We must realize that freedom is relative and only possible if there are rules.
  • Crime and Punishment
    It is clear that our penal system neither effectively deters nor rehabilitates. It is, however, a tremendous drain on society. There is a better way that would serve as a deterrent, teach criminals something and benefit, not burden society.
  • Conscience
    Conscience is not something that is trained into us. It is an innate potential that each of us has the responsibility to tune to, not a skill that is learned by others imposing their will upon us.
  • Cancer - The Missing Point
    In spite of billions spent on research, cancer continues to grow as a threat to health and life. Pharmaceutical companies and other special interests groom data to give the impression of progress. In the end, the answer lies in our hands with simple lifestyle changes.
  • Broad Health Effects
    Alteration of the fatty acid content of the diet has much potential beyond just cardiovascular and inflammatory effects. The scientific literature is unveiling new diseases that may be altered, cured, or prevented with fatty acid therapy.
  • Biophilia
    Our love for nature is termed biophilia. When we connect with unspoiled nature we connect with our origins and our link to happiness and health.
  • Atherogenesis
    The putative ability of fish oils to affect cardiovascular health has focused considerable attention on lipid nutriture. Investigations of societies consuming high levels of omega-3 and -9 oils as well as both prospective and retrospective scientific studies have demonstrated the increasing importance of dietary fats.
  • Are Things Hopeless?
    The world may seem to be crumbling around us but there is hope. That hope resides in the incredible power of each of us individually. What we think and what we do can almost magically transform society.
  • Are Drug Companies Destroying The U.S. Health Care System?
    Pharmaceutical sales are skyrocketing while the health of Americans declines. The problem is philosophical in that drugs do not cure and patients are looking for quick fixes.
  • Anabolic Hormones - A Two-Edged Sword
    Hormones, such as anabolic steroids, are among the most dangerous of all drugs. Although they may produce short term changes, their long term consequences are a poor trade off.
