Are you being manipulated like this?
Are you being manipulated like this? I’ve been in the health field for 40 years in one capacity or another, and although being able to help others has been a rewarding blessing to me, I’ve also “gone down a rabbit hole” and come to realize the extent of the dark side of our modern medical system.

5 Diet Misconceptions... Have you been fooled?
I’m going to start today’s blog by giving you some rather unsettling statistics. Currently in the US: Seven out of ten adults have at least one chronic condition, and shockingly, so do 54 percent of our children. Three out of four of us are overweight or obese. Eight out of ten of us are medicated, and over half of us take two or more medications each day. What in the world is going ON? Well,...

Here’s what happens: It all starts with heartburn!...
Can’t sleep? This may be why.
According to the Center for Advancing Health (CFAH), up to 70 million American adults have some type of sleep disorder. That’s about one out of four of us! Now, it’s normal for most people to have an occasional poor night’s sleep.

6 Steps to a longer, disease-free life
I’m going to be blunt this morning. If you are interested in living a longer, disease-free life, our modern healthcare system is not the way to do it.
