OneDayMD Academy

By Dr. Frank Yap, MD

The internet has revolutionized access to health information, providing unprecedented opportunities to explore and delve into healthcare and medical-related subjects. It is truly remarkable to think that just fifty years ago, such possibilities were relegated to the realm of science fiction movies or the pages of Marvel comics.

That said, it can be confusing for the average person to navigate the 'healthcare universe'. With numerous myths and misleading information prevalent on social media, advertisements, and even AI-powered websites (e.g. ChatGPT), it can be difficult to differentiate between credible and unreliable sources, especially when mixed with marketing narratives.

This resource page aims to provide independent, unbiased, and consumer-focused health information. We understand that it can be overwhelming for consumers to sift through the vast amount of information available online, especially if they do not have a background in medicine. 

That's why we offer a network of consumer-centric wellness and health information guides and resources that provide high-value information and independent insights to consumers. We have been in the healthcare industry for over 20 years and are committed to providing reliable information that may be difficult to find elsewhere. 

We have curated a comprehensive list of online resources in a single location for your convenience, empowering you to conduct thorough research online. We sincerely hope that you find these resources valuable in your quest for knowledge.

Longevity 101

In this practical guide, we have covered anti aging with more than 150 references and supporting studies that represent the best of science-backed information on anti-aging and longevity.


Vitamins and Supplements 101

Diets are composed of nutrients: macronutrients (protein, fats, carbohydrates, and alcohol) and the micronutrients (vitamins, minerals, trace elements and phytonutrients). Food also contains many non-nutritional, but biologically active substances. These include toxins and contaminants, such as alkaloids and aflatoxins, which are detrimental to health, as well as constituents, such as phytochemicals, that may be health-promoting. As consumers we do not eat nutrients, but meals and foods. These are the components of diet that are most meaningful to the public and usually the basis of food choice.

Note for healthcare professionals: Virtual groups and internet forums—such as those hosted by International College of Human Nutrition and Functional Medicine at ICHNFM.ORG—can provide access to an assembly of international professional peers wherein sharing of clinical questions and experiences are synergistic. This guide is not intended to extensively cover all aspects of clinical medicine, such as clinical pharmacology and prescribing (for which we recommend Epocrates.com and its associated app) and medical management (for which we recommend 5-Minute Clinical Consult via website, and app). However, it's also recommended that you do your own research with PubMed, Google Scholar and DuckDuckGo as some of the guides are not updated.

The micronutrients are by definition required in small amounts. Many are essential as they cannot be made in the human body. They include vitamins, minerals and trace elements. Vitamins are a group of organic compounds that have a variety of functions in the body and that are chemically different from each other. To show that a compound is a vitamin it is necessary to show a deficiency in experimental subjects and restoring the missing compound can reverse the deficiency. The name ‘vitamin’ is derived from ‘vital amine’; as the name suggests these essential compounds were initially thought to be amines.
Amines are organic compounds that contain a lone pair nitrogen atom. 

Vitamins can be divided into fat-soluble and water-soluble groups; vitamins A, D, E and K are fat-soluble and may be stored in the body, the remainder being water soluble and the body has limited or no stores.

Consuming a balanced diet composed of fresh, whole and organic foods is the best health strategy that everyone should implement. However, not everyone is able to eat healthy at all times. For example, some people, despite their best effort, are unable to prepare home-cooked meals daily, meaning they sometimes have to resort to processed foods or restaurant meals.

Another reason is that there is problem with our current food supply – something that many health experts refuse to consider. Due to poor agriculture practices, plus the abundance of toxic pollutants in soils and waterways, the food we’re consuming right now is no longer as nutritious as it was many generations ago.

In both these cases, taking a supplement may be a wise decision.


Diet 101

Navigating through the multitude of available diets can be an overwhelming task, as it can be challenging to determine which one is the right fit for you. It's important to recognize that much of the information available online is influenced by large corporations and mainstream media, which can provide valuable insights but may also present biased or superficial content.

Differentiating between accurate and unreliable information can be difficult, especially with the proliferation of myths and misinformation on social media platforms, wellness advertisements, and even artificially generated content and websites.

At One Day MD, we strive to provide an independent and unbiased platform for health information. With our collective experience of over 30 years in the healthcare industry, we are committed to delivering reliable information that may be harder to find elsewhere.

To simplify your journey, we have curated a comprehensive list of popular diet guides and organized them in one place. This allows you to review and compare various options conveniently. By exploring these resources, you can gain a better understanding of different diets and make an informed decision based on your specific needs and lifestyle.

How to Detox Spike Protein After COVID - Dr Mercola

By Dr. Frank Yap, MD
Image
The spike protein is naturally found in SARS-CoV-2, no matter the variant. In its native form in SARS-CoV-2, the spike protein is responsible for the pathologies of the viral infection. As of June 19, 2023, federal  data  published by the US CDC found that 15.7% (National Estimate) of adults who previously had a COVID-19 infection are currently experiencing symptoms of long COVID.  In its wild form it’s known to open the blood-brain barrier, cause cell damage (cytotoxicity) and, as Dr. Robert Malone, the inventor of the mRNA and DNA vaccine core platform technology (1), said in a commentary on News Voice, “is active in manipulating the biology of the cells that coat the inside of your blood vessels — vascular endothelial cells, in part through its interaction with ACE2, which controls contraction in the blood vessels, blood pressure and other things.” (2) It’s also been revealed that the spike protein on its own is enough to cause inflammation and damage to the vascular system, even

Lumbrokinase vs Nattokinase vs Serrapeptase: What's the Difference?

By
Image
Lumbrokinase, nattokinase, and serrapeptase are all enzymes that have been studied for their potential health benefits. They are all considered as proteolytic enzymes. Proteolytic enzymes have a variety of roles in the body, from helping to digest food to taking part in the immune response. What is Lumbrokinase? Lumbrokinase (LK) is an enzyme derived from earthworms is thought to aid in blood clot prevention, inflammation reduction, and circulation problems.  Lumbrokinase for Blood Clots Thrombolytic agents typically used to dissolve clots are urokinase (u-PA), streptokinase, and tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA). These drugs, however, are not specific for fibrin and have adverse and dangerous side effects including severe bleeding and heavy blood loss which may result in death. In contrast, LK is very specific to fibrin as a substrate and it does not cause excessive bleeding. It can dissolve the fibrin itself or convert plasminogen to plasmin by inducing endogenous t-PA activity to

Zelenko Protocols: COVID-19 Prophylaxis and Treatment (June 2022)

By Dr. Frank Yap, MD
Image
What is the Zelenko protocol? The Zelenko COVID-19 Protocol was developed by Dr Vladimir Zelenko. A retrospective study analyzing Dr Zelenko's patient data was accepted for publication in the International Journal of Antimicrobial Agents after a rigorous peer review process. The study finds that early intervention and treatment of high-risk patients with COVID-19 resulted in significantly fewer hospitalizations and deaths. The treatment consisting of zinc, low-dose hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), and azithromycin, is also referred to as "The Zelenko Protocol." Dr Zelenko has since updated his protocols to incorporate new evidence. Introduction This webpage compiles content related to the early outpatient treatment protocol that has been proposed by  Dr. Vladimir Zelenko  for the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Dr. Zelenko originally risk-stratified patients and treated high-risk patients with hydroxychloroquine, zinc, and azithromyci

Zinc is a powerful immune nutrient known for its benefits for providing immune health support and anti inflammation as well as for improving cold and respiratory symptoms, wound healing, acne reduction, and lowering the risk of age-related diseases. Research on atherosclerosis and diabetes mellitus suggests that zinc deficiency may contribute to low-grade systemic inflammation. Types of Zinc What's the best absorbed zinc supplement form?  We know there’s an ocean of information out there to navigate, so we’ve compiled a list of common zinc types and an overview on each zinc type below. There are several types of zinc supplements. Supplements contain several forms of zinc, including zinc gluconate, zinc citrate and zinc picolinate. The percentage of elemental zinc varies by form.  Choosing a zinc supplement can be confusing because there are so many different types. zinc acetate zinc angstro

Dr Richard Bartlett Inhaled Budesonide Protocol for COVID-19 (2022)

By Dr. Frank Yap, MD
Image
In April 2021, The Lancet reported  evidence of UK’s first effective drug to treat COVID-19 in patients at home, inhaled budesonide, showing the treatment can reduce recovery time by a median of three days. The treatment has since been included in clinical guidelines for treating early-stage COVID-19 across the UK, Canada and India. Dr. Richard Bartlett shared with   ACWT   (America Can We Talk) about how asthma medicine Budesonide emptied a hospital ICU after being used to treat coronavirus.  Inhaled budesonide is a safe, generic, inexpensive prescription medication that is being successfully used by millions of people who suffer from asthma every day. It can be prescribed by any doctor or nurse practitioner for respiratory symptoms or lung inflammation (FDA-approved). Budesonide is also available in some over-the-counter nasal sprays such as Rhinocort.   Richard Bartlett made waves in a July 2, 2020 interview (the video has been removed for violating YouTube's Community Guideline

How Linoleic Acid Wrecks Your Health (2023) - Dr Mercola

By Dr. Frank Yap, MD
Image
The majority of Americans might be misled by official health recommendations to eat “healthy” vegetable oils. Even the term “vegetable oil” is misleading because it gives you the impression that you are receiving vegetable micronutrients when these oils are actually highly toxic, industrially-processed seed oils. Seed oils are some of the most dangerous items you could eat. Tucker Goodrich and Dr Mercola discussed what will be the topic of Dr Mercola's next book, namely linoleic acid (LA), which he believed is likely the leading contributing cause of virtually all chronic diseases we've encountered over the last century. Unfortunately, this is a topic that most clinicians and health care practitioners who focus on natural medicine have only a superficial understanding of.   Goodrich has a business background as a stockbroker and asset manager, and developed an IT risk management system used by two of the largest hedge funds in the w

NAC vs NAD vs NR vs NMN? What are the Differences?

By Dr. Frank Yap, MD
Image
NAC vs NAD vs NR vs NMN ? Due to the small alphabetical differences, these supplements are often mixed up and confused by most consumers. We will cover the essentials and explain about each of these supplements below. NAD NAD is derived from Nicotinamide Riboside (NR). The levels of NAD in our body determine the speed of aging process. In younger cells and tissues, the levels of NAD are higher. As a result, younger people tend to have better physical activity, cognitive function and potential for cell repair and regeneration. As we grow, the levels of NAD in our body start to decline. This is reflected in the form of slowed cognitive response, loss of memory and reduced agility. Research suggests it may be possible to reverse mitochondrial decay with dietary supplements that increase cellular levels of a molecule called NAD (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide).  NAD is a linchpin of energy metabolism, among other roles, and its diminishing level with age has been implicated in mitochond

Fenbendazole for Cancer: 2023 Review

By Dr. Frank Yap, MD
Image
What Is Fenbendazole? Fenbendazole (also called Fenben) is a broad spectrum anthelmintic used against gastrointestinal parasites including: giardia, roundworms, hookworms, whipworms, the tapeworm genus Taenia (but not effective against Dipylidium caninum, a common dog tapeworm), pinworms, aelurostrongylus, paragonimiasis, strongyles, and strongyloides that can be administered to sheep, cattle, horses, fish, dogs, cats, rabbits, most reptiles, freshwater shrimp tanks as planaria and hydra treatments, as well as seals. Common brand names include Pancur, Panacur C and Safe-Guard. However, it is also being used by humans in a cancer treatment method known as the Joe Tippens Protocol. Is fenbendazole a cancer cure scam?  One study suggests that fenbendazole has “been safely utilized as an anti-parasitic for various different animal species and could be repurposed for treating human malignancies.” Other benzimidazoles, including albendazole, parbendazole, mebendazole and
