A Fresh Look at Cholesterol and Vascular Health
Vascular Disease continues to be the number one killer worldwide. At the same time Statins (cholesterol lowering medications) are being prescribed in higher and higher amounts every year.

The SIBO Curse
Have you ever known anyone who, no matter what they eat, they blow up like a balloon and suffer painful and uncomfortable gas and bloating? Perhaps you even experience this yourself? You may have been to every doctor in town and tried every probiotic with no avail.

I end up hearing so much about candida from my patients that it is surprising really. So you go on a radical diet, take probiotics and a bunch of anti-candida herbs. Nothing works. And in fact you think that it might have made you worse! Okay, what already? What could be causing so much discomfort?
