A study from Boise State University: While health-conscious individuals understand the benefits of eating fresh fruits and veggies, they may not be aware of the amount of pesticides they could be ingesting along with their vitamin C and fiber. A new study published in the Feb. 5 edition of Environmental Health Perspectives is among the first to predict a person’s
Read moreMillions of people worldwide are needlessly administered antibiotics— “antibioticized” seems a more apt term since antibiotics are designer killer molecules. Surprise!

Read moreAbout twenty years ago, I was asked to speak at a fibromyalgia-fatigue conference in Michigan. The speaker before me presented his idea of fecal implants to “cure” fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome.
