Don’t Do This to Cover Up Bad Breath!
It’s funny sometimes the things you remember from your past. When I was taking high school Spanish, our teacher Mrs. DePickett used to tell anyone who was chewing gum to, “Escupir su chicle, por favor.” Meaning we had to choose between spitting out our gum or getting sent to the principal’s office. I typically chose the former. But my gum chewing days did not end after high school Spanish class and continued into my...

Stop & Reverse the Cycle of Poor Health!
I’ll start your day with a not-so-rosy statistic. Currently nearly 70% of US adults have at least one chronic disease, including heart disease, cancer, stroke, chronic respiratory disease (like COPD), Alzheimer’s, diabetes, kidney disease and liver disease. And across the world, the US is number one among its peer nations in rates of many chronic diseases. That’s certainly nothing to brag about, my friend. Our food and healthcare systems play a significant role in...

I’m not a hypocrite who sits behind my desk writing these articles telling you to eat better, exercise and supplement appropriately while I do exactly the opposite.

Here’s why: It’s something to smile about! When most people think of vitamin D they think “strong bones” but that’s just a drop in the vitamin D bucket. Vitamin D does...

What Your Hands are Trying to Tell You
If you’ve been a reader of mine for a while, you may recall that I’ve written several times about subtle signs that your body gives you when things aren’t quite right. Take for instance your “products of excrement.” You can learn a whole lot from looking in the toilet bowl at your urine or feces before you flush. The tongue is another example. A healthy tongue should be very light red to pinkish and...

The Birth of Modern Medicine…and The End of True Health
You may not realize this, but “modern medicine” really isn’t “modern” at all. In fact, it was incepted by Standard Oil magnate John D. Rockefeller in the early 1900s to expand his revenues by creating pharmaceutical drugs out of petroleum by-products (petrochemicals). At that time, medicine was primarily focused on helping the body to heal and restoring its normal functioning using plants, herbs, natural homeopathic remedies and nutrition. Rockefeller knew he had his work...
