Are these really just “a bunch of crap”?
*Important general office-hours announcement at the end - Please read through* I once had a client who told me that when she mentioned to her doctor that she was taking a multi-vitamin, he basically scolded her and said she “doesn’t need that crap.” Interesting perspective. Not only are vitamins NOT a bunch of crap, but our need for non-food sources of nutrients has continued to expand. At one time (several decades ago) people who had...
How much vitamin D do you really need?
We recently received a question about the vitamin D3 dose in our Optimum DK Formula. The reader was wondering if the 5,000 IUs of vitamin D was “too much,” especially considering that her doctors have told her not to take more than 2,000 IUs of vitamin D per day and that research from Harvard indicated the upper-level max was 4,000 IUs. That’s a great question, and I’m sure others may be wondering about...
Natural anxiety relief without dangerous drugs
Currently, over 40 million adult Americans suffer from occasional or regular bouts of anxiety. That’s about one out of five of us!

What I do see is a system that is entirely captured and controlled by pharma to the extent that most times, the best you can hope for...
Why are we seeing so much aggression and violence?
This question popped into my head as I was driving north on I-95 the other day and witnessed at least five instances of road rage or extremely aggressive driving. I swear in one case it looked like a car was trying to run another one off the road! Of course acts of aggression and violence are not limited to people driving on highways. Practically every day there are reports of another shooting, mass shooting,...
Read this before you take Prozac or Xanax!
The National Institute of Mental Health currently estimates that over 47 million American adults suffer from anxiety, as well as 23 million adolescents. In addition, depression affects 16 million adults and over 3 million kids. That brings the tally up to about 89 million people or nearly one third of the US population that is dealing with mental health issues. If that doesn’t scare you, I don’t know what will. [[big4]]The current trends in...
