Quiz: Is this tiny creature ruining YOUR health?
Have you ever seen a horror movie where a normal person suddenly turns into a hideous creature like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde or the Wolfman? Well, something similar can be going on inside of you this very second with some tiny creatures that you can't even see with the naked eye.

Sneaky health destroyers that few doctors test for
I think it’s safe to say that when most people don’t feel quite right (or downright lousy), unless it’s something minor and short-lived like a cold, the average person will go to the doctor to see what’s wrong. And hopefully after whatever tests are necessary, get some answers and a solution. But alas, life does not always work out that way. Because it’s entirely possible that you can consult a doctor, go through a...

A sneaky health wrecker that’s overlooked by doctors
Probably the biggest downfall of our mainstream medical system is that it’s primarily symptom-focused and not cause-focused. So much emphasis is placed on prescribing measures (usually drugs) that lessen or take away symptoms while the underlying cause remains largely unexplored.
