What does your tongue say about your health?
Modern medicine uses a very pinpointed approach and typically narrows its diagnostic efforts on the “troublesome spot.” For example, if you go to the doctor reporting abdominal pain and diarrhea, you’ll likely get tests aimed at the gut, such as a lower GI series, ultrasound, colonoscopy or maybe a barium enema.

Are you a likely target for cancer? How to tell
A very dear friend of mine from college was just diagnosed with cancer. We had been keeping in touch over the last 10 years or so, thanks to social media. I had noticed that several of her Facebook posts were recipes for rich desserts and other sweets…and I’ve got to tell you, I’ve been troubled about that for some time. I knew she was overweight and had been warned that her blood glucose levels...
Why is collagen all the rage lately?
It amuses me when a food or nutrient suddenly becomes “all the rage” and everyone is talking about it as if it’s something brand new and is the greatest thing since sliced bread.
