Your best defense against flu, COVID and all viruses
Before I get into today’s topic, I would like to wish my daughter Danielle a very happy birthday! She is the light of my life and I couldn’t be more proud of her. So if any of you call our office today and Danielle answers your call, be sure to wish her happy birthday! Now onto today’s discussion: It’s THAT time of year again. The time when we are bombarded by signs EVERYWHERE saying,...

The real key to beautiful hair and glowing skin
All you have to do is step into any grocery, drug or department store to see that the personal care industry is B-I-G business. Entire aisles and store sections are devoted to an array of lotions, creams, shampoos, conditioners, cleansers, toners, scrubs, etc. And the manufacturers of these products know darn well that people are willing to spend copious amounts of money and do practically anything to look good.

(I wonder what an “acceptably high” level of a carcinogen would be, but I digress…) This time it’s Metformin, the very popular Type 2 diabetes drug.
