Got gas? Here’s how to sweeten the air around you.
I used to do karate with a guy whose farts were so putrid that they were more deadly than any punch or kick he could throw. I remember dreading when I would be matched with him in sparring, just waiting for the stench to permeate my nostrils. Sure, I could block his punches and kicks, but nothing could stop that hideous odor. And you certainly didn’t want to be near him when we did...
Got bad breath? Here’s how to end it for good.
I worked part-time at an insurance agency during my first couple years of college, and my boss had hands down the most horrible bad breath I’ve ever encountered. She would get close to me as she was explaining things to me during training, and swear I thought I was going to puke on several occasions. So it’s no wonder that bad breath ranks right up there in terms of common fears people have! If...
You’ll enjoy this health self-assessment
Modern mainstream medicine is symptom-focused, meaning sickness and disease are seen as some mysterious thing that pops up, and the standard answers are drugs that mask the symptoms or surgery. It wasn’t always this way. Up until about 150 years ago, sickness was viewed as the result of an imbalance or deficiency in the body, and efforts were directed to correct the underlying situation. But this change in the focus of medicine (largely due...
My experiment was an abysmal failure
I recently conducted a little experiment to see if my suspicions were correct. And they were. I wrote letters to 65 local gastroenterologists in my surrounding area and along the east coast of Florida, introducing myself, including my curriculum vitae, and explaining that I would be happy to provide specialized meal suggestions and convenient guides that they could give to their patients to help address any dietary-related causes of their symptoms. Know how many...
Being low in these is the road to disease
Although there are many paths that lead to disease (including smoking, drug use, excessive alcohol use, having a poor diet, chronic stress, and exposure to toxins), there is another “road” that very few people think of… But it’s one of the most common factors behind the development of disease! I’m talking about poor digestion. And if burping, belching, gas, bloating, constipation and diarrhea are your regular companions, you better be talking about it too. ...
Awesome natural answers for digestive issues
If you’re among the 7 out of 10 people in the US who suffer from occasional or daily digestive problems, chances are excellent you’ve had Tums, Pepto Bismol or Rolaids as close companions. Maybe you’ve even graduated to the big guns—Nexium, Zantac, Pepcid or Prilosec. But these medications only cover up the problem, and not very well at that. Plus they do absolutely NOTHING to help your digestive system work the way it’s supposed...
