The deadly health threat that you never hear about
This probably won’t surprise you, but I’ve long stopped watching mainstream media news because it disgusts me. Talk about fear mongering, sensationalism and drama—some of these well-groomed puppets ought to win Academy Awards. And the thing is, they will only talk about what their pharma and special interest sponsors allow them to report…so many times a truly imperative issue is slanted or swept under the rug because it would ruffle the wrong feathers.

4 questions everyone should be asking
Today’s blog is a bit different from what you typically read from me. My preferred blog approach is to enlighten you on a health issue (or two or three!) and provide effective, safe and natural strategies to help overcome your challenge and/or generally improve your health. But I threw that out the window for today. Instead I would like to talk about four important questions that everyone should be asking. These questions affect literally...
