4 Surprising health benefits of probiotics
Most people (and even many members of the mainstream medical community) are catching on to the fact that probiotics help prevent gas, bloating and constipation. Several have also given nods to probiotics for their immune supportive properties and their ability to help ease asthma and allergies. And if you really do your homework and read sources of information outside of the pharmaceutical-funded mainstream media (like my blog!), you might have even heard that probiotics can...
What does your tongue say about your health?
Modern medicine uses a very pinpointed approach and typically narrows its diagnostic efforts on the “troublesome spot.” For example, if you go to the doctor reporting abdominal pain and diarrhea, you’ll likely get tests aimed at the gut, such as a lower GI series, ultrasound, colonoscopy or maybe a barium enema.
