  I’m a bit fired up today, so be prepared.  Modern medicine has done a complete bloody disservice to untold numbers of people over the last 100 years or so.  Why would that be?  Well, it’s not because of a shortage of medications—all you need to do is watch TV in the US for 30 minutes and you’ll see at least 3-4 drug commercials.  There are plenty to choose from.  We’re not lacking in new...

  If there’s anything that withstands the test of time in our society today, it’s the existence of crazes. As in, what’s the latest diet craze?  Or workout fad?  Or serum to reduce wrinkles and aging? And right up there at the top of the craze list is: What’s the newest way to detox?!
