Some people spend years going from doctor to doctor chasing their symptoms and trying to find a diagnosis that explains their problems. Far too often this results in failed treatments, drained bank accounts, and a continued decline of health. In most cases, the cure is in the prevention. Thomas Edison said “The doctor of the…
“WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF PRESERVATIVES?” When I ask people this, most will say “to make it last longer”. This answer emphasizes the financial aspects of the food industry.

It was around 2004 when I had one of those dramatic life changing nutrition lessons. Until then, I thought “eat well, exercise, rest, have positive thoughts, and be healthy” That’s all there was to it and I was already doing it. I didn’t think I could really do any better.
