When Yeast Takes Over: The Candida Connection
If you’ve been a reader of mine for a while, you know I don’t hesitate to call out what’s wrong in our healthcare system. Now, don’t get me wrong—I have tremendous respect for doctors, nurses, and others who devote their lives to helping people. But my concern lies with the training most health professionals receive. It’s largely symptom-focused, with far too little emphasis on uncovering the root cause of illness. Instead of true healing,...

10 warning signs you shouldn’t ignore
I would suspect that most people don’t wish to overreact to every little ache, pain and symptom that may pop up and instead try to “wait it out” and hope that the issue resolves itself. But there are certain signals your body may be giving you that you definitely should not ignore. Although some of the possible causes behind these symptoms can be relatively minor, they may also mean something more serious that should...

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. On the other hand, traditional medicine (which includes acupuncture and Ayurveda) looks at the entire body as a series of parts and systems...

A very preventable cause of chronic disease
I remember having a conversation with a woman who told me how fortunate she felt to be in good health in her early 60's.

This woman is anything BUT healthy. What she has is a chemically...

Quiz: Is this tiny creature ruining YOUR health?
Have you ever seen a horror movie where a normal person suddenly turns into a hideous creature like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde or the Wolfman? Well, something similar can be going on inside of you this very second with some tiny creatures that you can't even see with the naked eye. As a result you may be suffering some serious symptoms and probably don't even know why. Chances are excellent that you might...

Sneaky health destroyers that few doctors test for
I think it’s safe to say that when most people don’t feel quite right (or downright lousy), unless it’s something minor and short-lived like a cold, the average person will go to the doctor to see what’s wrong. And hopefully after whatever tests are necessary, get some answers and a solution. But alas, life does not always work out that way. Because it’s entirely possible that you can consult a doctor, go through a...
