According to the National Institutes of Health, between 60 - 70 million people in the US have some type of digestive condition, with 20 million of those suffering from chronic or long-standing GI issues. Among the most common problems are heartburn, indigestion, acid reflux, burping and belching. Now, the begging question here is: Why? Why are so many of us walking around with our chests on fire and our stomachs revolting? To answer that question, a good place to start would be to...

  I’m sensing a shift in thinking in the US (and hopefully other countries too) away from what can aptly be called “blind faith” in the medical and pharmaceutical industries. People are starting to question things more and more, and rightfully so. I suspect this is the result of a long-standing series of events that follow this particular pattern: Step 1- XYZ drug is touted as “safe and effective” with side effects being characterized as “typically mild.” And Pharma’s media darlings are more than happy to chime in since they receive most...

  If you’re a woman, especially over age 40, and you’ve been to a doctor anytime in the recent past, you’ve undoubtedly been urged to increase your calcium (with supplements and/or dairy products) for bone health and osteoporosis prevention. Now of course, there’s nothing wrong with recommending calcium! Your bones do need it, after all. But what IS wrong is the fact that many women are led to believe that calcium is ALL that matters...

  According to the CDC, currently about 119 million Americans have high blood pressure—that’s about half of US adults! And that number is particularly startling when you consider that back in 2017 (just 8 years ago) “only” 75 million Americans had hypertension. That’s an increase of nearly 60 percent. Now, during that time period the BP ranges for what is considered “high blood pressure” were lowered which instantly reclassified people who had formerly been considered...
