By: Dr. Eeks We see the stickers in the produce aisle. “Triple Washed Lettuce”, “Ready to Eat Salad”, “No Feces for You!” Okay, that last one I made up…, but if someone had a sense of humor, they’d make it for the laughs. I usually purchase the organic, triple-washed lettuce, but do I wash the …
What’s the connection between wireless and your health ? Wireless and cancer risk? In this episode of Causes or Cures, I had the great pleasure of interviewing Dr. Fiorella Belpoggi about the potential health risks of wireless technology and radiation from EMFs (electromagnetic fields). Wireless and cancer risk, or the safety of EMFs in general, …
In this episode of Causes Or Cures, Holistic Psychologist Nicole LePera talks with Dr. Eeks about her own personal journey and health struggles, her approach to overcoming them and how that experience, plus her experience with others as a professionally trained psychologist, guided her approach to healing the mind and body. Dr. LePera talks about …
Nuclear power and climate change. It’s a heated topic to say the least. Talks about climate change are heavy and ongoing. You often hear, especially from fans of The Green New Deal, “We literally only have 12 years to fix the problem!” Is that hyperbolic, or is that the truth? While there are various governmental …
Does atheism go against the scientific method? What do you think? I grew up Catholic in a small town where mostly everyone believed in God. I went to Catholic school and kept sheltered from alternative belief systems outside of Christianity. The first time I met an atheist was when I went to college, The US …

The second episode of my podcast Causes Or Cures is posted, and hopefully with only few interruptions from my pup, Barnaby. I record the …
OCD vs PANDAS. No, I’m not talking about the bears. This is a very real and interesting topic and one that I never learned about in medical school. Any parent with a child should read this. This is an interview I did with Attorney Beth Maloney, author of Saving Sammy, on a very important topic …
Not the most uplifting perspective on silver lining playbook, but an honest one: By: Eeks I enjoyed the movie Silver Lining Playbook. It humanized mental illness in a way that Hollywood often doesn’t do. Hollywood loves mental illness but many movies don’t bother to capture the nuances. Most moviemakers cherry-pick dramatic, provocative manifestations of mental …
Interview by Dr. Eeks Greetings, everyone! Recently I had the pleasure of doing an interview with artist Tim Shaw and curator Niamh White, the founders of Hospital Rooms. The mission of Hospital Rooms is to “bring world class art to mental health hospitals.” I randomly stumbled across their Instagram account and was blown away by …
What’s the real scoop on cranberries and urinary tract infections? If cranberries can cure urinary tract infections, they should be elevated to a God-like status. UTIs are painful buggers, so hopefully my little drawing to the left is relatable more so than offensive. If you get a UTI, “Urine for it” is right. The urgency, …
In 1968, I was born the 5th of 6 children to a young couple in a small town outside of Boston, MA. My parents were very active in their church community, and raised my siblings and me to embrace the traditions and beliefs taught there. My father was a hardworking man and my mother stayed …
I know we are divided and reduced to Left vs Right. But can we please make a pledge to come together and end factory farms? People get on my case for not taking a stronger stance on issues. I do, I just don’t blow-spit them in your face. Factory farming is one. So here it …
