A drunk driver pretty much destroyed my health a month before my first birthday. Doctors said I was fine--for years. Finally realizing my health was up to me, I started researching.

Heart Hiccups And All The Rest

Psssst! Let Me Tell You A Secret

But before I tell you the secret, you have to know you can’t tell anybody. I mean, you need to know the secret, but if you tell anybody, they’ll write you off as some kind of nut. And just what… 0 Shares |

Winning the War Against Ebola

I tell you true, this Ebola situation is a mess, and reactions to it are not promising. Medicine has nothing to offer, so they’re in a panic. Which means the media is beating a very loud drum about death and… 0 Shares |
