Antioxidents

It seems that nature has provided us with countless opportunities to maximize our health. I have often taught the truth that your ability to heal comes from inside you. This leads me to the conclusion that the only way for you to truly be healthy is to function at 100%. You are not what you eat. You are what you can assimilate from what you eat. This being the...

submitted by: admin on 05/12/2015
This new approach to medicine is based on integrative, holistic, person-centered care where the relationship between the patient and practitioner is sacred.

They must also compassionately set the example rather than preach treatments or lifestyle...

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is like an electrical "brown out" that develops as energy production in certain brain cells begins to fail.
