What your “products of excrement” are telling you
When someone suddenly begins to experience pain, shortness of breath, severe vomiting, bleeding or a high fever, I think most people would realize it’s a good idea to see a doctor. Those are all signs that something isn’t right within you and it’s time to get some answers. Well, there’s another way your body tries to clue you in that trouble is brewing, but many of us don’t bother to examine its signs. The...
The silent condition that’s wreaking havoc with women
Someone very dear to me started experiencing irregular periods about four years ago. She didn’t think too much of it until she also started putting on weight (with no changes to her diet or exercise regimen). Then she began having pain on the side of her abdomen and noticed hair growth in places that women don’t typically grow hair, including her chin and torso. After her complaints were brushed off by who she thought...

Ladies: Enough with the Botox already!
I was wondering if it was my imagination at first, but it seems to me that more and more people (particularly women) are taking youthful appearance advice from the likes of Madonna, Cher or Dolly Parton.

It’s never good to have toxins residing in your body....
Do you have this stomach cancer risk factor?
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,...
