One of the main problems with urinary tract infections is that they keep coming back. Repeated treatment with antibiotics can set up a kind of arms race. The bacteria get smarter and more drug-resistant. The drugs that are used get stronger. Unfortunately, there can be collateral damage in the ...

If you want to stay healthy, you have little choice but to supplement your diet with calcium minerals. We’ve known since 1936 that our topsoil, coast to coast, is depleted of minerals. That was the conclusion of a Congressional hearing held in that year. There has been no campaign since ...
Most of us take for granted the way we think about things, such as the way we think about the weather, or the way we think about our health, usually because “that’s the way everybody thinks.” We take for granted that when we’re sick we go to the doctor and “the ...
The distinction between a natural cure and a natural remedy is critically important because people in serious trouble with their health are often disappointed when they discover that natural remedies do not work for them. This can cause them to lose faith in their ability to get better using ...
In evaluating natural approaches to curing Hepatitis C, it is important to set aside the magical-thinking about disease and its treatment that is promoted by the pharmaceutical industry and its agents in health care. Natural doctors have been curing Hepatitis C long before the HCV virus was ...
People who are going to create a natural cancer cure when conventional medicine has not worked need 2 life-savers to be working for them. With them, a natural cancer cure becomes possible. The first life-saver is hope. Without hope, they won’t be open to trying anything new. The ...

My mom had diabetes; then she had cancer; then she died. Her doctors told us they had “done everything that could be done” for her. I knew the doctors couldn’t know everything -- nobody does -- so I knew they were wrong when they said they had done “everything that could ...
