At Stockton Aloe 1, we do NOT decolorize nor deodorize our aloe.

“It is still a ‘way out there’ idea,” says Dr. Stanley Hazen, but the idea that the makeup of your gut flora has a profound direct effect on your risk for heart attack won the Cleveland Clinic a spot on the American Heart Association’s list of 2013’s Top 10 Advances in Heart Disease and Stroke…

I have a theory. It’s not a scientific theory. It’s certainly not something you would hear Doc Haley prescribing to a patient – but it’s a theory, and it’s my own. Chances are, it has no scientific validity whatsoever – yet it is a way of thinking about gut flora that helps me and my…

In 1995, the Journal of Nutrition printed a landmark article in the study of gut flora.

Acid reflux, celiac disease, Crohn’s disease, diverticulitis, GERD, IBD… these terms and many like them were once relatively unknown but are now all too familiar. The increased prevalence brings up the logical question “Why do so many people have digestive problems”. Or, more personally, Why is MY gut sick? https://youtu.be/_Aq-Po-vUQA There was a time when…
According to the latest scientific research, there are about 100 trillion microorganisms living in your intestinal tract. That is (according to most estimates) at least twice greater than the number of human cells in your body. To put 100 trillion in perspective, a clock ticking off 100 trillion SECONDS would need a battery strong enough…
