What your “products of excrement” are telling you
When someone suddenly begins to experience pain, shortness of breath, severe vomiting, bleeding or a high fever, I think most people would realize it’s a good idea to see a doctor. Those are all signs that something isn’t right within you and it’s time to get some answers. Well, there’s another way your body tries to clue you in that trouble is brewing, but many of us don’t bother to examine its signs. The...

Are you ignoring these life-saving organs?

I see a WHOLE lot of snow out my office window right now, with more in the forecast for the next week or so. But March is also National Kidney Month, and that’s definitely something I can get behind!
