When Yeast Takes Over: The Candida Connection
If you’ve been a reader of mine for a while, you know I don’t hesitate to call out what’s wrong in our healthcare system. Now, don’t get me wrong—I have tremendous respect for doctors, nurses, and others who devote their lives to helping people. But my concern lies with the training most health professionals receive.
