For people trying to boost their immune systems to avoid the flu, natural-health consultant Mark Mincolla of Marshfield has this advice: Take a daily dose of monolaurin, a fatty acid derived from coconut oil. Oregano oil helps, too. So do propolis, from tree and flower resin, and terpenes, which come from black cumin seed oil and other sources.
To the same question, on how to stay flu-free, Dr. Todd Ellerin at South Shore Hospital has a simpler response: Get a flu shot.
As health providers and people of all ages brace for the double whammy of H1N1 and seasonal flu epidemics, differences between medical and herbal prescriptions for staying virus-free are getting sharper. READ MORE . . .

Before Beverly Plouffe ever received medical treatment for her breast cancer, her tumors shrunk in half - and she believes it was all because she followed the nutrition advice of nutrition guru Mark Dana Mincolla. "The doctors at Dana-Farber had never seen anything like it. They said, 'Keep doing what he's telling you to do,'" said Plouffe, who ended up combining Mincolla's recommendations with traditional medical treatments and is now cancer-free. "Mark saved my life. I thank God every day for him."Mincolla, 53, who practices in Cohasset, is considered one of the true South Shore gurus of alternative medicine, or complementary medicine as many call it today. Mincolla, who has been in business for nearly 25 years and has seen more than 60,000 patients, says he has helped heal people of everything from cancer and heart problems to migraines and digestive discomfort. .

Two steps toward healthier holiday eating
Posted December 10, 2009 10:18 AM
The Boston Globe
The holidays are here, and everywhere you go or look the focus is on feasting. Fabulous foods tantalize from the covers of magazines while the workplace and marketplace are filled with holiday treats. There are platters of cookies at the hair dressers; food samples at the grocery store; pie at the neighbors'; holiday drinks at your local café; gingerbread at school functions; finger food at parties; food talk on the radio, on television, and among friends and family members. Food, food, food. For some, this is a great celebratory experience. But for many, it can be very difficult. If you have a problem with overeating, or eating poorly -- and millions do -- there's no harder time than the five weeks between Thanksgiving and New Years. And even if you don't normally have a problem, holidays are fraught with stressors that can push your eating habits into the red zone. "This is a classic time of year for anxiety," said Mark Mincolla, Ph.D., a well-known Cohasset-based nutritionist and natural health care practitioner. "Old memories, family connections, traveling -- can all trigger emotion-based eating. Food and alcohol are first in line for self-medicating." Hey, I know that not everybody has a problem with overeating. Plenty of people aren't bothered by it -- either because they don't overeat (through some natural or cultivated habit), or simply because if they do overeat it doesn't bother them. But thousands of others really suffer -- plunging into cycles of self-hatred, guilt, and physical pain when they eat too much. READ MORE . . .

Holistic nutritionist Mark Mincolla knows food like Bill Belichick knows football. And both have had some remarkable results. An alternative health care practitioner for 27 years, Mincolla has helped thousands of patients put cancer in remission, break heroin and nicotine addictions, lland ll cure digestive problems, migraines, heart disease and other illness and malaise.
“I’m the last whistle stop after people have gone to doctors. They think ‘he’s pulled a rabbit out of a hat before...’” said Mincolla.
And he’s not even a medical doctor.
Mincolla, who has a master’s degree in nutrition and a doctorate in health and human services from Columbia Pacific University, has blended Western and Far Eastern approaches to medicine and healing. He says a natural balance can be achieved by eating the right foods and vitamins. READ MORE . . .
To nutritionist, natural energies key to health, healing

Globe Correspondent

Cohasset - Nutritionist Mark Dana Mincolla says that in the last 20 years, more than 50,000 clients have climbed the stairs leading to his Cohasset office.
They had included a Hollywood producer, the family of a former Middle Eastern head of state and a 1999 NObel laureate, who flies in from Switzerland for this appointments.
This might not seem astounding, if it were not for the methodology that Mincolla, a holistic practitioner and author, uses to help his patients at MaxHealing Associates.
Instead of focusing entirely on a clients's diet, as most nutritionists do, Mincolla, 50, says he studies the whole person, sequin the energetic influences he believes are the root causes of disease.
"Many of the clients I see have a sense of feeling neglected as whole people as patients," MIncolla says. "In my experience the difference-maker is often the mere willingness to share a rapport, which includes subtle emotional, mental, and environmental energies." READ MORE . . .
