What the Drug Companies Don’t Want You to Know About Heart Disease!

“Most patients with heart disease do not have a classic lipid disorder.” I heard those words spoken last night by a leading researcher in cholesterol and heart disease.

You call that healthcare? The pathetic conventional approach to Hashimoto’s.

If all you do for your Hashimoto’s thyroiditis is take thyroid hormone replacement, you need to know that everything is not fine. Hashimoto’s is an alarm that your body is under attack – and a prescription is not the answer. Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, like other autoimmune diseases, results from your immune system attacking you.

Why do so many weird, nasty viruses come from China?

The novel coronavirus, which is the cause of COVID-19, is just the latest of a number of disease-causing viruses to apparently spring forth from China. In 1957 China gave us the Asian flu.

Vibrant COVID-19 Immunecheck – My top choice for coronavirus antibody tests

The Vibrant COVID-19 Immunecheck is, in my opinion, the best test for SARS-CoV-2 (novel coronavirus) antibodies. This blood test measures antibodies to 4 different antigens of the virus.

How about some Lime with that Coronavirus?

There are numerous phytochemicals that have potential to be of benefit in battling COVID-19. Phytochemicals are, of course, found in plants. One food that contains several phytochemicals of interest is citrus: lemons, limes, oranges, and grapefruits.
