This had better change…or we’re doomed
You have probably heard of the Hippocratic Oath that many doctors recite upon completion of medical school. It encapsulates the standards and principles of medical care since the time of the ancient Greek physician Hippocrates. But you’ve likely never seen the actual text of the oath! Note that it has been updated from its original form, so here are some excerpts from a more current version: I swear to fulfill, to the best...

Incredible probiotic benefits you’ve never heard of
At this point, most people know that probiotics are beneficial to their health…but they just aren’t aware of HOW beneficial they can be! Probiotics have earned a solid reputation for helping with gas, bloating and constipation—that’s pretty well-known. And more people are catching on that they encourage strong immune function too. Between 70-80 percent of your immune system is located in your gut microbiome, so probiotics help support that precious immune system! But that’s...

The 5 diet mistakes that guarantee sickness & disease
As much as I wish I could say otherwise, our current state of health is positively abysmal. Seven out of ten US adults have at least one chronic condition, and shockingly, so do 54 percent of our children. Three out of four of us are overweight or obese.

Why? Because they had a vision of a great country with freedoms and the...

There is a certain bacterial infection that has been around for an incredible 200,000 years and it’s not showing any signs of slowing down yet. It’s VERY contagious and affects a staggering 66 percent of the world’s population (2 out of 3 of us). In the vast majority of cases (90 percent), there are no symptoms at all, so most people who have contracted it don’t even know it. But that doesn’t mean it’s...

Could this be causing your gas and heartburn?
I think it’s safe to say that we have no shortage of people who are bloated, belching, burping, blocked up, and can play the Star-Spangled Banner with their flatulence. In fact, an astonishing 74 percent (three out of four) of us suffer either occasional or chronic (as in every day) digestive problems. The pharmaceutical industry squeals with delight as they tally up the profits from their sales of laxatives, stool softeners, acid reducers, antacids,...
