Are you doomed by your family history?

Are you doomed by your family history?

  Modern medicine has historically placed a large emphasis on family history (i.e.: someone’s genes) as a strong predictor of whether or not a person will develop a disease.  Think about any time you’ve ever gone to a doctor and had to fill out health history paperwork—they always ask if your grandparents, parents or siblings have had cancer, heart disease, diabetes, etc.   Well, now evidence is showing that family history is not the be all...

10 foods you must avoid

Why do doctors ignore this as a cause of disease?

Why do doctors ignore this as a cause of disease?

  Despite what you may hear (or more accurately, not hear) on the “news,” (aka pharmaceutically funded propaganda), what the CDC (also close with pharma) says, and even what your doctor (whose education was designed by pharma) may tell you, disease doesn’t mysteriously pop out of nowhere and blindside poor unsuspecting you.  Disease is not normal, it is not a reflection of your body needing some drug, it’s not something that is normal as you...
