Want to prevent cancer? Start here
When it comes to cancer, I see a lot of people being misled by cancer research organizations and the mainstream medical community and here’s why. First of all, let me remind you that since the 1971 “War on Cancer” was introduced by President Nixon, hundreds of billions of dollars have been poured into various initiatives for cancer research to “find the cure”…and although some advances have been made in terms of diagnosis and treatment,...

When your stomach ache isn’t a stomach ache
I think it’s safe to say most of us have had a stomach ache at one time or another in our lives. Unfortunately, for many people “one time or another” can turn into several times a week or even daily. Now, a stomach ache can have many underlying causes—ulcers, overeating, gastritis, medications (especially antibiotics), stress and food sensitivities can all be culprits behind your tummy troubles.

It’s hard to deny that viruses have been a topic of much discussion and media focus over the last several decades, with COVID-19 most recently, Zika, Ebola and H1N1 in the past, and certainly the flu emerges as a hot topic every fall. But there’s another MUCH more prevalent virus than any of those that is affecting up to 95 percent of Americans, but the mainstream media is completely mum on the subject! It’s...

It’s that time of year again. No, I’m not referring to the fact that stores are displaying Christmas merchandise and the radio stations are playing nonstop holiday tunes—I’m talking about “flu season.” And you know what that means.
